Ah, Raglan Road at Disney Springs’ beloved Irish bar, where frothy pints of Harp, lively tunes, foot-stomping dancers, and a little bit of Irish magic combine to create one of the most fun spots in Orlando. Every time we head over there, it’s like stepping into a scene from an Irish pub movie, complete with great food and a lively atmosphere. Whether we’re there just as a couple or bringing the little Saucy Prince along, we always know we’re in for a good time. Or so we thought.
This time, however, The Saucy Queen found herself a little less than impressed. Gasp! Yes, even royalty has her off days, and this visit to Raglan Road wasn’t all rainbows and shamrocks. But don’t you worry, my saucy followers, we still had plenty of fun. So, let’s get into it, shall we? Here’s how our latest adventure at Raglan Road went down, with a little bit of drama and a whole lot of humor.
I’ve had the Shepherd’s Pie, $28 at Raglan Road many times before, and let me tell you—it’s usually a thing of comfort and joy. Hearty meat, mashed potatoes, savory gravy, all baked together to make a dish that feels like a warm hug on a plate. But this time, my darlings, it was a disaster. The pie arrived stone cold.
Yes, cold meat and gravy. Shudder. Now, I’m no stranger to cold potatoes—who hasn’t had a bit of leftover mash the next day? But when it comes to Shepherd’s Pie, a cold filling simply does not do. I had to summon my regal patience as I tried to enjoy the dish, but it wasn’t happening. I had to send it back—royal protocol, you see. The manager was lovely and apologized profusely, even removing the dish from the bill. But honestly, it’s a shame. The flavor was there—hidingbehind the chill—but that’s not enough when it comes to a dish this royal. I didn’t want an apology, darling. I wanted my pie piping hot!
I’ve had better experiences here, so I’m hopeful next time will be the pie perfection I know Raglan Road is capable of. Still, it was a blow to my royal appetite.
Now, while The Saucy Queen might have had her mishaps, The Saucy Prince wasn’t about to let anything ruin his meal. He went for his usual, sausages and chips, $27.50. And honestly? This is a classic for a reason. The sausages were cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning—and the chips were crispy and golden.
Watching the Saucy Prince devour every bite of his meal like it was his first time tasting such a royal feast is one of the highlights of the evening. This dish never fails to deliver—comforting, delicious, and never too complicated. If you’re ever in doubt about what to order, just follow the Prince’s lead. He knows what he likes, and it’s hard to go wrong with sausages and chips. Gone are the days of ordering off the kids’ menu, but don’t worry—he’s still a royal fan of simple pleasures.
Ah, The Saucy King—a man of discerning taste, especially when it comes to fish and chips, $28.50. And let me tell you, Raglan Road does this classic justice. The fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The batter? Light and crisp—just the way it should be. On the side? A little pot of curry sauce, which the King always insists on for dipping.
And let me tell you, when the King is happy, the whole kingdom is happy. He polished off the dish like it was fit for a king—and really, it was. I’m not sure if it’s the crispy batter, the perfectly fried fish, or the zingy curry sauce on the side, but this dish is always a royal triumph. If you’re into fish and chips, Raglan Road’s version is as close to perfection as you can get. Every bite is light, crisp, and satisfying. It’s a true classic.
Of course, what would a royal dining experience be without a drink fit for a queen? As always, I indulged in a glass of Rosé—specifically, Aime Roquesante, Provence, France. At $14 per glass, it was just the kind of crisp, refreshing drink I needed to wash down all the rich, hearty fare. Not quite my usual Coates du Provence, but it hit the spot and paired beautifully with my meal. Light, elegant, and perfectly sippable, I can’t help but feel very regal when sipping on this delightful drink. Vanderpump Rosé, you have my seal of approval.
As for the Saucy King—well, he’s always been a fan of a frosty pint of Harp. At $10.75, it’s just the right amount of refreshment for a man who appreciates a good lager. He’s not one to stray from his classic drink of choice, and I can’t blame him—Harp has that perfect balance of smoothness and crispness, ideal for sipping with hearty Irish fare. He was happily sipping away while I enjoyed my Rosé—royalty at its finest.
Now, here’s something I’ve always found a bit curious about dining in America—the endless refills. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate hospitality as much as the next queen, but it seems like every time our glasses of Coke even get halfway down, our server swoops in, whisks them away, and brings us fresh ones. More waste, I say! In the UK, we savor every sip and don’t rush through drinks like we’re in a race. Maybe it’s just an American thing, but I can’t help but raise an eyebrow when my half-finished drink gets taken away before I’ve had a chance to enjoy it.
It’s a minor detail, but I had to mention it. A little less haste, a little more taste, my darlings! Oh and did I mention we took the Queen’s Dad? Ordering a flight nonetheless. Who would have thought Black and Tan was a thing? Certainly not the queen!
Now, let’s talk about the best part of Raglan Road—the entertainment. Live music? Check. Foot-stomping dancers? Check. Fun atmosphere? Double-check. The energy here is contagious, and even The Saucy Prince couldn’t resist joining in on the action. He’s always the first one to jump up and belt out tunes, much to the delight of the crowd. As for The Saucy King—well, after a couple of Harps, he’s ready to get into the spirit, too.
The dancers here are absolutely mesmerizing. The energy they bring to the stage is unmatched. It’s the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re part of the action, and even though the food might have had its ups and downs this time, the entertainment is always a highlight. Raglan Road has nailed the balance between great food, drink, and an unforgettable experience.
The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the strawberry cheesecake—a baked masterpiece that felt like a warm hug for the soul. Creamy, indulgent, and perfectly balanced with the fresh sweetness of strawberries, it was pure dessert heaven. Generously portioned, it comfortably satisfied three of us, with a little left over for later. And the best part? This slice of happiness was only $12—a steal for the quality and size. If you’re a cheesecake lover, this is one dessert you can’t miss at Raglan Road!
So, what’s the final verdict for Raglan Road this time? 7/10. The Shepherd’s Pie and the endless refills put a little damper on our royal visit, but the Fish and Chips, Sausages and Chips, and the lively entertainment more than made up for it. When Raglan Road hits the mark, it hits it big—but a cold pie? Not exactly royal treatment. Still, I’ll be back, but let’s get that pie hot next time, shall we?
Stay Saucy, The Saucy Queen 👑💋
