Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' Florida Kitchen

Walk into Homecomin' and you step into a loud, sunlit Southern farmhouse transplanted into the bustle of Disney Springs. The dining room trades Disney gloss for worn wood tables, jarred moonshine flights at the bar, and a porch that looks out over the springs. This is comfort food performed at scale: Art’s Famous Fried Chicken so crisp and juicy it hushes the table, pillowy cheese biscuits, Church Lady deviled eggs, and a Chocolate Pecan Pie that people order like an obligation. Service leans warm and theatrical — bartenders sling sangria and managers circulate to make sure family celebrations hum along. Locals treat it as a reliable weekend brunch anchor; visitors come for the fried chicken ritual and the novelty of chef-driven Southern classics inside a theme-park day. It’s neither a quiet date spot nor fine dining; it’s rowdy, earnest hospitality that connects Florida farm ingredients to old-school Southern recipes, a place where nostalgia and tourist energy collide and, more often than not, the food wins the argument.
