Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort - Lunch Review 2024

Steakhouse 71 is located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. The '71' refers to the year Walt Disney World opened, and the restaurant itself opened on October 1, 2021, celebrating the Resort's 50th Anniversary.

We visited Steakhouse 71 for lunch! This restaurant, located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, serves casual breakfast (7:30 AM - 11 AM) lunch (11:30 AM - 2 PM) and dinner (5 PM - 9 PM).

Discounts: Available for Annual Passholders, DVC Members, and Visa Card Members.


Steakhouse 71, located in Disney’s Contemporary Resort, has a charming mix of old and new. The restaurant's design pays tribute to the year Walt Disney World first opened, blending mid-century modern style with contemporary touches. It’s a cozy and inviting space, perfect for families, couples, and Disney fans.

The decor gives small hints about Disney's history, with black-and-white photos showing the magic of the park's early days. Soft cozy lighting makes for a laid-back dining experience. Comfy seating and well-spaced tables create a nice private atmosphere even when it's busy. 

Appetizer


Sea Salt-Dusted Potato Brioche $12


Butter, Roasted Garlic-Tomato Spread.

I order the brioche every time I visit Steakhouse 71. It’s house-made, served warm, and very delicious.

Entrée


Stack Burger $23

Signature Blend of Beef, Pork Belly, American Cheese, Lemon Aïoli, Red Onion, House-Made Pickles, on a Brioche Bun. Served with a choice of Petite Caesar Salad, Parmesan Fries, or Pasta Salad.

What I love about this burger is the signature beef blend and the two thin patties, which make it both more flavorful and easier to enjoy. It's incredibly well-seasoned and delicious.

Some people say it’s the best burger on property, and for good reason.

Desserts


Espresso Martini Crème Brûlée $11


Espresso Crème Brûlée, Marcona Almond Chocolate Crunch, Cocoa Whipped Cream.

This is the perfect dessert for coffee lovers. It has a strong coffee flavor, and the caramel and chocolate almond crunch add the perfect texture. 100/10

Chocolate Banana Cream Pie $10


Milk Chocolate Mousse, Caramelized Banana, Vanilla Wafer, Macadamia Nut Crumble, Caramel Sauce, Vanilla Bean Chantilly.

This is a new vegan option that has replaced the Apple Tart Tatin. It's quite sweet, with a delightful balance of rich chocolate and caramelized banana flavors. 

The vanilla bean chantilly provides a light, creamy finish. Overall, it's a delectable dessert that both vegans and non-vegans will enjoy.

Cocktail


Curious Cold Brew $15


Maker’s Mark Bourbon, Joffrey’s Coffee Cold Brew, Maple, Vanilla Bean Cream.

One of my favorite coffee cocktails on property. 10/10!

This restaurant doesn’t offer the same nice atmosphere as other Disney restaurants, but you can definitely find some very tasty options for breakfast and lunch, though not all the dishes are a must-try. Some people love it, while others wouldn’t go again. I think it’s a place you should judge on your own.

I wouldn’t recommend dinner since I haven’t had a good experience with their steaks, which is ironic given that this is a "steakhouse."
