Backlot Express
“A Warehouse of Good Eating” is the motto at Backlot Express, which is decorated with movie memorabilia & props from classic Hollywood films.
Backlot Express offers classic counter service entrees: hot dogs, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, & several healthier options. Seating for this quick service restaurant is plentiful and provides shelter from the sun & inclement weather via a large overhead warehouse roof. Vegetarians can enjoy the “Grilled Vegetable Sandwich,” while children have the choice of chicken nuggets or grilled chicken with vegetables.
The large palm trees, movie props, and theming makes guests feel like they are in a real Hollywood backlot ready for their close-up! Backlot Express is located closest to Star Tours & the Epic Stunt Theater (or the ‘Indiana Jones Stunt Show’ as some may call it).
