If you've visited Disney Springs at the Walt Disney World Resort in recent years, you have noticed the addition of more great restaurants and stores making this a top destination for visitors to Orlando. The Edison is no exception to the reputation for delicious food and a fun atmosphere. My visit in October 2018 was a Saturday lunch reservation with one of my good friends who moved to Orlando a few years prior. The outside presents as an industrial throwback and welcomes guests with a patio and ample outdoor seating. It's located in The Landing of Disney Springs near some other favorites such as Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and Morimoto Asia.
Upon entering the restaurant, the industrial theming from the outside continues. A large clock greets customers while you check in and wait for your table. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and found the restaurant only partially full on a Saturday afternoon at 1:00. With the expansion of dining options in Disney Springs, availability for many of them can be found, especially if you can be flexible with days or times. On our way to the table, we walked past several recreations of inventions from the past. There are also many casual seating options in the restaurant such as oversized chairs and couches. The vibe inside the restaurant reminds of The Great Gatsby and a throwback to the 1920s. It's a multi-level restaurant as well which adds to the visual interest. I have seen events advertised here featuring jazz music on select evenings - this looks like a fabulous place to enjoy an evening out at Disney Springs! While you probably wouldn't be bringing the kids out too late, it's worth noting that this does turn into an adult only (over 21) venue after 10PM.

When we were seated at our table, we found ourselves faced with an impossible choice of what to eat. The lunch menu features a wide variety of favorites including burgers, sandwiches, seafood, and an assortment of soups and salads. I ended up opting for The Edison Burger while my friend decided to give the Fish Tacos a try. The presentation and taste were both great on the fish tacos. My friend shared that the Mahi-Mahi was cooked perfectly and the tastes were bold and flavorful. I'm really glad I chose The Edison Burger too. After a few days of trying to eat healthy while working, I went all out on my final meal in Disney. The burger was topped with cheddar cheese, crispy onions, bacon, special sauce and french fries on the side - this was close to heaven on a plate! I regret not giving the Clothesline Candied Bacon a try after seeing this served as an appetizer to the table next to us. It features an assortment of bacon literally hanging on a cute little table sized clothesline. There's always next time, right?!?

So what were my overall thoughts on The Edison? I'd definitely recommend it to friends and family looking for good food and a casual, fun environment. It's certainly a family friendly spot for lunch or dinner. Guests can expect pricing in line with most non-signature table service restaurants in Disney with main dishes ranging between roughly $15 and $30. With so many great places to eat in Disney Springs and throughout the Walt Disney World Resort it's truly becoming harder and harder to make decisions when planning your advanced dining reservations. Featuring a menu that I would describe as classic American fare, this is one place where the whole family will be able to find choices to suit them. Bon appetite, friends!
