Chow down on chili fries, fish and chips and chicken breast tenders. Top off your meal with one of the show-stopping sundaes or other desserts. Have a rootin', tootin', hip-hollerin' good time at the Golden Horseshoe, where the quick-service frontier-style grub will knock yer boots right off. Belly up to the bar, sit in a private box or take a seat down on the main floor and catch Billy Hill & The Hillbillies performing a must-see mix of bluegrass music and wacky comedy.

The chuck wagon is chock full of vittles you'll love, including chicken breast tenders, fish and chips, and chili cheese fries. Buckaroos can also dig into a bonanza of desserts including the Mile High chocolate cake, mint chocolate sundae, strawberry sundae, the Golden Horseshoe Ice Cream Float and hot fudge sundae.

Western flair is everywhere with steer horn wall mounts, polished brass banisters and electrified period chandeliers at this 1850's-style saloon restaurant. Disney legend Harper Goff designed the interior using the saloon set he had drawn up for the 1953 Doris Day film Calamity.

Touring Tips

  • The Golden Horseshoe hosts the best live entertainment in the park.
  • The service counters in Golden Horseshoe are only available before and during performances of Billy Hill and the Hillbillies, though it is not required that you order food in order to watch the show.
  • he Golden Horseshoe shares a kitchen with Stage Door Cafe, however, so it is no surprise that the hot foods menu is the same, consisting of fried food. What The Golden Horseshoe has to itself though, is a selection of ice cream dishes.
  • Service is very slow, so get drinks here and eat elsewhere. gazebo-style seating next to stage is best.
  • Indoor table seating on two levels.

History

The Golden Horseshoe Saloon is one of the original buildings dating back to the park's opening in 1955. Walt Disney kept a private box (now public) upstairs to the left of the stage so he could watch the show. The original show, Golden Horseshoe Revue, had over 50,000 performances and was, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, "the world's longest-running live stage show."
