Ribs in WDW

[nursejackie]

Hello, I am travelling in August for 2 weeks on site. I am taking my teenage nephew who has ASD, and has a very restrictive diet. Since our last trip in 2022 he had added ribs to his menu, but they have to be dry (no wet food unfortunately). Please can you tell me some good places for ribs at WDW? I have Y&Y restaurant reserved already, and plan for FTB another day.
Just to add we have the QS dining plan for the first 8 days of the trip, then move to GF room only. I will pay for his food OOP if needed.
Thanks everyone

It appears Regal Eagle in Epcot in the American Pavilion might have another option for you:



You may wish to go onto the WDW site and search 'rib' and see if other options come up.

Flame Tree is another one that is dry if I remember correctly.

Would rubbing them down with a napkin or scrapping off with a knife be fine? You possibly could add a few more places then to your list? Polite Pig has a sauce on it so that wouldn't work unless you could remove the sauce and be fine.

Whispering Canyon is another one that is a dry rub fairly sure.

I am bummed about Regal Eagle, they had a Louisiana Rib entree, and it disappeared a week or two ago. I could ask for just ribs on the plate instead of pork butt and sausage. Worth a go. Thank you

I could try. Easier with QS as I am at the counter alone so could wipe it, potentially heard good things about Polite Pig.

Check out the menus for Morimoto’s QS and Polite Pig.

I would second Flame Tree at AK

Also, House of Blues - I think they would be able to keep the ribs dry on request, sauce on the side.

If I recall correctly, Trails End ribs are dry too.

Thanks everyone, lots of options for him. We're on site for 2 weeks, so will have a chance to try quite of few of these out.

If you call about dietary limitations and make a request ahead of time I would think you might be able to get what you need put aside for your reservations. I found dining services very willing to help me as much as they can on the fly but I think it would have gone better had I called ahead https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/special-dietary-requests/

Love all the places mentioned. Love ribs and always make sure I have them at least once during the trip. I think Morimito (sticky ribs) are not dry. They are really good - have had them QS and in the restaurant. Can always call or ask whichever place you want to try.

The ribs at Hoop Dee Doo Review are dry; they're probably the same ones as Trail's End, come to think.

I had dry ribs at Regal Eagle in May. There are a variety of sauces that you can get, provided in dispensers (like ketchup) so you can add your own, but the ribs themselves are dry (just rub, no sauce).

I love Polite Pig. I've never had the ribs, but they have a picture menu online: https://www.politepig.com/menu
They don't look dry, but maybe they can ordered differently???

Yes I will ask for them without sauce, and will cross my fingers.
