Review : the Polite Pig

Today was the grand opening of the Polite Pig at Disney Springs.  We've been looking forward to this opening since owners/Chefs James and Julie Petrakis also own/operate the very popular Orlando restaurants The Ravenous Pig and Swine & Sons.  The Polite Pig is a quick-casual eatery. You order, pay, are given a pager and select your seat. Your food is brought out shortly and servers refill your drinks, clear your table and get you anything you may need, even that is to order a dessert you might have left room for. Our server Sara was very friendly, offered lots of fun information about the restaurant and answered any questions we had. She was great!

While they have wide variety of drinks and beers on tap what was most impressive was their 52 selections of bourbon!

Even their door handles made me happy. How can you go wrong with a pig in a top hat and monocle?

If you look closely on the floor you will find some pig prints!

I loved how the inside was decorated and had room for about 200 guests.

They had an impressive sauce bar. Our favorite was the Lil John's Black Pepper BBQ. I also really enjoyed the Alabama white sauce. It was a BBQ flavor I have never had before and the creamy, vinegar taste really appealed to my taste buds. 

After ordering you are given a pager to place on your table. They bring your food right to your table.

Without further ado... the food!

Smoked Chicken wings. One of my dinning companions ordered these and enjoyed them. He let me have one of the carrots..how kind.

The Hop Salt Pretzel with IPA mustard and beer cheese fondue. This thing was bigger than my head and was very delicious. I loved the beer cheese fondue. The IPA mustard wasn't to my personal liking but I am not a fan of IPA but if you love mustard this was full of flavor.

Polite Wedge. I am a big fan of wedge salads and this one was no exception. Topped with bacon jam, pickled onions, tomatoes and smoked blue cheese dressing this is definitely something I would order again and again.

Salmon BLT with bacon jam, marinated tomato, romaine and aioli. I did not get a chance to try this but heard it had a great flavor.

I selected the tomato and watermelon salad for my side. It was topped with feta, basil and pickled onions. I enjoyed these flavor combinations and felt like something I would really enjoy on a summer day or any day.

The Brisket Melt with caramelized onions, pickled peppers and beer cheese fondue. I was expecting this to be a slab of brisket and was pleasantly surprised it was shredded. I love the portion size of the sandwiches. There was a lot of meat and packed a lot of flavor. This was yummy!

Pork Shoulder from the smoker served with texas toast, slaw and one side. Chris picked the baked beans for his side. The pork was really flavorful and tender. The beans we both agreed were not something we would choose as a side again. They were more a little more bland than we were expecting.

Last and certainly not least the dessert. We shared the Orange blossom honey cake. Oh my! This was dense cake was delicious. If I could put Florida into a dessert this would be it!

Over all we loved the Polite Pig and welcome it to Disney Springs with open arms and satisfied tummies. We can not wait to bring our friends and family back to try even more off the menu!
