OPEN Brief: If you want the full reopening menu, the price data, the cocktail lineup, and the plant-based picks for The Turf Club Bar and Grill, this OPEN guide has every verified dish, drink, and dollar figure in one place. The Turf Club Bar and Grill has been out of the race since late August, and the gates open again on September 30, 2026. The comeback menu leans all the way into the horse racing theme. You can order a Winner’s Circle Margarita, sip a Grandstand Martini with blue cheese olives, and follow it up with a corn flake-breaded chicken and waffle. Saratoga Springs is not playing it quiet this time.
When Does The Turf Club Bar and Grill Reopen at Saratoga Springs?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill reopens at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa on Wednesday, September 30, 2026.
The Turf Club Bar and Grill went dark for a refurbishment in late August 2026. The Turf Club Lounge stayed open the whole time, pool table included. Disney finally showed its cards with a Disney Parks Blog menu reveal on September 23, 2026.
Never been? Picture a racetrack clubhouse that time forgot, in the best way. The Turf Club Bar and Grill sits beside the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course clubhouse, with dim lighting, wood-paneled walls, and old jockey photos and antique riding gear on display. The whole look pulls from turn-of-the-century Upstate New York racing. Grab a patio seat if you can. The covered patio looks across the golf course and Lake Buena Vista toward Disney Springs, so dinner comes with a view of where you might head next.
Do You Need Reservations for The Turf Club Bar and Grill?
Yes. Disney highly recommends booking The Turf Club Bar and Grill in advance.
The Turf Club Bar and Grill is a casual, à la carte American restaurant. The restaurant still runs a cancellation and modification policy, though. Disney charges a per-person fee to your card if you skip the reservation or cancel too late.
Book early, and set a phone reminder a couple of days out so a change of plans does not cost you money. Curious what else is back around property?

How Much Does The Turf Club Bar and Grill Cost?
Disney puts The Turf Club Bar and Grill in its $$ tier, averaging $15 to $34.99 per adult dinner entrée.
Here is the catch. Disney’s official dinner menu page still shows the pre-refurbishment menu, so prices for the new dishes are not posted yet. Eleven items made the jump from the old menu to the new one. Here is what those survivors cost before the refurbishment.
| Item | Category | Pre-Refurbishment Price |
|---|---|---|
| French Onion Soup | Appetizer | $11.00 |
| Wedge Salad | Appetizer | $12.00 |
| Sweet-and-Spicy Brussels Sprouts | Appetizer | $13.00 |
| Turf Club Burger | Entrée | $25.00 |
| Smoked Salmon-wrapped Halibut | Entrée | $36.00 |
| Slow-roasted Prime Rib | Entrée | $39.00 |
| Blood Orange Margarita | Cocktail | $17.50 |
| Mint Julep | Cocktail | $18.50 |
| Pineapple Mule | Cocktail | $18.50 |
| New York Sour | Cocktail | $24.50 |
| Enchanted Grove Lime Splash | Non-Alcoholic | $6.29 |
Treat these numbers as your starting line. Some recipes changed during the work. The old Turf Club Burger came with seasoned French fries, and the new one lists waffle fries. One old-menu stat made us do a double take: the New York Sour cost $24.50, just fifty cents under the entire Turf Club Burger plate. That is one expensive sip. You can compare the carryover items on the official Turf Club Bar and Grill dinner menu page.
What Appetizers Are on The Turf Club Bar and Grill Menu?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill starts you off with six appetizers, from crispy chicken wings to lemon butter shrimp.
The Crispy Chicken Wings let you pick your lane: buffalo or garlic-Parmesan. The Wedge Salad gets a marigold garnish grown at The Land Pavilion at EPCOT. The Sweet-and-Spicy Brussels Sprouts are fully plant-based. Here is the starting field.
| Appetizer | What Comes With It |
|---|---|
| Crispy Chicken Wings | Buffalo or garlic-Parmesan sauce, blue cheese, and celery |
| Sweet-and-Spicy Brussels Sprouts | Agave glaze and crispy Vidalia onions (plant-based) |
| French Onion Soup | Sherry beef broth under melted fontina and Gruyère |
| Wedge Salad | Bacon, buttermilk-chive ranch, pickled red onions, tomatoes, and an EPCOT-grown marigold |
| Golden-fried Calamari with Shishito Peppers | Toasted sesame aïoli and sweet chili-lime sauce |
| Lemon Butter Shrimp | Sun-dried tomatoes, feta, capers, and toasted bread |
The Turf Club Bar and Grill starters sort themselves into two teams. Team Pub Grub gets the wings, the calamari, and the French Onion Soup. Team Keep It Light gets the shrimp and the wedge salad. Ordering for the whole table? The calamari reads like the smartest share. The sesame aïoli and sweet chili-lime sauce sit at opposite ends of the flavor profile, so everyone gets a sauce to fight over. The full list is on the Disney Parks Blog first look at the Turf Club menu.
What Entrées Are on The Turf Club Bar and Grill Menu?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill serves eight entrées, including slow-roasted prime rib and a bacon-topped house burger.
The entrée lineup covers beef, seafood, pork, chicken, and a plant-based pasta. The Smoked Salmon-wrapped Halibut gets a nasturtium garnish grown at The Land Pavilion at EPCOT, so part of your plate traveled across property to get there. The Corn Flake-breaded Fried Chicken and Waffle comes with roasted jalapeño maple syrup and candied bacon butter, which brings serious brunch-for-dinner energy. Here is the full lineup.
| Entrée | Key Components |
|---|---|
| Slow-roasted Prime Rib | Loaded baked potato, seasonal vegetables, au jus, and horseradish sauce |
| Smoked Salmon-wrapped Halibut | Seasonal risotto, citrus beurre blanc, and EPCOT-grown nasturtium |
| Braised Pork Shank | New York cheddar grits and bacon-bourbon glaze |
| Spinach and Mushroom Linguini | Mushroom “cream” sauce and basil-tofu “ricotta” (plant-based) |
| Char-grilled Butcher’s Steak | Roasted garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and house-made steak sauce |
| Turf Club Burger | Applewood-smoked bacon, New York white cheddar, and seasoned waffle fries |
| Corn Flake-breaded Fried Chicken and Waffle | Roasted jalapeño maple syrup and candied bacon butter |
| Pappardelle Shrimp Pasta | Shrimp, asparagus, and truffle sauce |
Which Steak Dishes Are on The Turf Club Bar and Grill Menu?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill offers two beef plates: the Slow-roasted Prime Rib and the Char-grilled Butcher’s Steak.
The Slow-roasted Prime Rib comes with a baked potato topped with butter, sour cream, and chives. The prime rib plate also brings seasonal vegetables, au jus, and horseradish sauce. The Char-grilled Butcher’s Steak pairs with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a house-made steak sauce.
The prime rib is the full steakhouse ritual, horseradish and all, and the plate cost $39.00 before the refurbishment. The Char-grilled Butcher’s Steak is the new horse in the race. The butcher’s steak replaces the old New York Strip, so the price is still a mystery. Team Mashed Potato, this one is yours.
What Comes on the Turf Club Burger at The Turf Club Bar and Grill?
The Turf Club Burger stacks applewood-smoked bacon, New York white cheddar, and onion straws, with waffle fries on the side.
The Turf Club Burger also carries house-made pickles, lettuce, and tomato. Seasoned waffle fries ride along on the side. The New York white cheddar ties the burger back to the restaurant’s Upstate New York theme.
Every group has one person who scans a fancy menu and quietly hunts for the burger. The Turf Club Burger is for that person, and there is zero shame in it. Every topping is familiar, and the onion straws bring the crunch. At $25.00 on the old menu, the burger was also the lowest-priced carryover entrée.
What Is in the Pappardelle Shrimp Pasta at The Turf Club?
The Pappardelle Shrimp Pasta at The Turf Club Bar and Grill combines shrimp and asparagus in a truffle sauce.
The Pappardelle Shrimp Pasta takes over for the old Pappardelle Scallop Pasta. The asparagus and truffle sauce stayed put, and only the seafood got swapped. The Spinach and Mushroom Linguini is the second pasta on the new menu, and that one is fully plant-based. The complete entrée list appears in the Disney Parks Blog Turf Club menu reveal.
Which Plant-Based Dishes Are on The Turf Club Bar and Grill Menu?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill lists three plant-based dishes: one appetizer, one entrée, and one dessert.
Disney marks each of these items as plant-based on the reopening menu. Disney’s plant-based items are made without animal meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. That means a plant-based diner can order a full three-course meal straight off the menu.
- Sweet-and-Spicy Brussels Sprouts: The Brussels sprouts get a piquant agave glaze and crispy Vidalia onions.
- Spinach and Mushroom Linguini: The linguini comes in a mushroom “cream” sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and basil-tofu “ricotta.”
- Apple Tart: The Apple Tart is topped with caramel sauce, streusel, and a plant-based “gelato.”
Plenty of resort menus give plant-based diners one entrée and call it a night. The Turf Club Bar and Grill covers every course, which is real value when your group mixes diets. Dealing with allergies? Disney asks you to speak with a Cast Member, and a Special Diets Trained Cast Member is available when you arrive. Details are listed on the Disney Parks Blog first look.
What Desserts Are on The Turf Club Bar and Grill Menu?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill dessert lineup has four options, from chocolate-hazelnut cake to a plant-based apple tart.
Every dessert pairs something rich with a hit of fruit, crunch, or sauce. Here is the finish line.
- Chocolate-Hazelnut Cake: The cake is layered with hazelnut mousse and finished with berry sauce.
- Vanilla Bean Cheesecake: The cheesecake comes with strawberry sauce and a graham crumb.
- Salted Caramel Pot de Crème: The pot de crème adds vanilla bean panna cotta, pecan crunch, and citrus shortbread.
- Apple Tart: The plant-based tart gets caramel sauce, streusel, and “gelato.”
Too full to pick up a fork? Drink your dessert instead. The Turf Club Bar and Grill pours a Chocolate Martini and an Espresso Martini, and Banfi Rosa Regale Sparkling Red covers the dessert wine slot. For budgeting, desserts on the old menu ran $10.00 to $12.00. The full dessert and after-dinner lineup is in the Disney Parks Blog menu reveal.
What Cocktails Are on The Turf Club Bar and Grill Drink Menu?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill pours nine specialty cocktails, and several are named for horse racing or New York.
You must be 21 and over to order alcohol. The Saratoga Cocktail is the house namesake, blending Michter’s Single Barrel Rye Whiskey with Courvoisier VS Cognac and Carpano Antica sweet vermouth. The Winner’s Circle Margarita goes top shelf with Don Julio Reposado Tequila and Grand Marnier. Here is the full field.
| Cocktail | Base Spirit | Other Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| The Saratoga Cocktail | Michter’s Single Barrel Rye Whiskey | Courvoisier VS Cognac, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth, The Bitter Truth Decanter Bitters |
| Winner’s Circle Margarita | Don Julio Reposado Tequila | Grand Marnier, lime, agave |
| New York Sour | Widow Jane Bourbon | Disaronno Originale, sweet-and-sour, Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Merlot |
| Blood Orange Margarita | Lunazul Añejo Tequila | Cointreau, lime juice, blood orange sour |
| Piña CoLAVA | Bacardí Raspberry Rum | Coconut, pineapple, raspberry purée |
| New York Old Fashioned | Hudson Bright Lights Big Bourbon | Demerara, Angostura bitters |
| Grandstand Martini | Grey Goose Vodka | Dolin Dry Vermouth, olive brine, blue cheese olives |
| Mint Julep | Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon | Fresh mint, agave nectar |
| Pineapple Mule | Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey | Hella Cocktail Co. ginger bitters, pineapple juice, ginger beer, mint |
The Turf Club Bar and Grill is placing its bets on brown spirits. Five of the nine specialty cocktails use a whiskey or bourbon base. The wild card is the Grandstand Martini, which drops blue cheese olives into the glass and basically hands you a snack with your drink. Five of these cocktails sat on the old menu at $17.50 to $24.50 each, so settle the round-two question before the check lands.
What Non-Alcoholic Drinks Does The Turf Club Bar and Grill Serve?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill offers two non-alcoholic specialty drinks plus an alcohol-free golden ale.
The Enchanted Grove Lime Splash mixes Minute Maid Limeade with cucumber and mint, and the drink cost $6.29 on the old menu. The Enchanting Ember Lemonade adds strawberry and hot honey to Minute Maid Premium Lemonade, a sweet-heat combo that cost $6.49 before the refurbishment. Designated drivers who still want a beer can grab an Athletic Brewing Co Upside Dawn Golden.
What Beer, Wine, and Coffee Does The Turf Club Bar and Grill Offer?
The Turf Club Bar and Grill stocks nine beers, one hard seltzer, 12 wines, and a Joffrey’s Coffee lineup.
IPA fans get Cigar City Jai Alai, Crooked Can High Stepper, and Sixpoint Brewery Bengali. The wine list runs from Maschio Prosecco to Simi Cabernet Sauvignon. Joffrey’s Coffee covers regular, decaf, double espresso, cappuccino, and caffè latte. Coffee people should look for the Peru Alto Mayo Protected Forest press pot, which serves two and cost $10.25 on the old menu. The complete drink list is in the Disney Parks Blog Turf Club first look.
