Pretend you're a member of the art department at this movie studio-prop shop cafe that serves vegetarian and turkey sandwiches, Angus onion straw cheese burgers, chicken strips, Southwest salad with chicken, or hot dog.

The Backlot Express is one of the better counter service values that can be found at the Studios. Designed to look like a movie-studio prop shop, the portions are large and prices moderate. Its value has been among the best at the Studios in terms of what your money gets you and the food is top notch, large portion sizes with ample seating both indoors and outdoors. It also sports a wide selection of foods that can appease the healthy eaters in the crowd along with those who enjoy a nice burger.

Touring Tips

  • Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, Backlot Express is a great place for lunch, even if it is somewhat hidden.
  • Sometimes around lunch time, lines can get very long after a showing of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular lets out. The line should be more manageable about 15 minutes later when that crowd moves through.
