A Quick Visit to Homecomin’ for Thigh High Chicken Biscuits
We’re off to Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ to sample their famous Thigh High Chicken Biscuits. As most of you know, I usually like to provide a full restaurant review. However, this turned out to be an unexpected trip to Disney Springs, where we secured a last-minute walk-up reservation.
Homecomin’ has been on my list to review for a while. Unfortunately, it’s just one of those restaurants I haven’t had a chance to visit since I started the site. With the restaurant’s primary focus on fried chicken, it’s never been on my radar of “allergy-friendly” places my son could eat until now.
In this article, we’ll examine the delicious Thigh High Chicken Biscuits from Homecomin’. I’ll also share one of their tasty side dishes with you and preview an allergy-friendly meal option.
We’ll start with those yummy chicken biscuits! We were headed to Disney Springs this evening to take care of a ticket issue. Disney’s Guest Relations is located in Town Center near Homecomin’. This Guest Relations location is pretty convenient if you need to adjust a ticket, purchase a ticket, or upgrade. When they’re busy, they will take your information and enter you in a virtual queue. Then, you’ll receive a text when it’s time to return. So you can browse the area while you wait.
The weather was perfect this evening, considering it was December and it had rained earlier in the afternoon. The temperature was a pleasant 75 degrees, and we decided it would be nice to dine outside. Since we were near Homecomin’, I decided to see if they had any availability at their outdoor eating area. Thankfully, they did, and we only had about a 20-minute wait.
While we waited, I previewed the menu and decided to order the chicken biscuits listed in the appetizer section. As for my son, I wasn’t sure what he would eat, but I felt confident they would come up with something. Our usual allergy-friendly dining spot at Disney Springs is around the corner, Frontera Cocina.
Once we were seated, our server had one of the managers come out and go over allergy-friendly options for my son. He elected to go with The Art Burger.
The Art Burger is described on the menu as “two beef patties topped with American cheese, Art’s special sauce, tomato-bacon jam, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on a brioche bun.”
As you can probably tell, my son ordered his burger plain with a side of fries. The bread provided was a vegan and allergy-friendly bun, which was a great option. If you have food allergies, you know it can be difficult to find bread options that aren’t cross-contaminated. Despite all the extras, the burger was huge, and the beef was top-quality. He couldn’t finish it and brought the leftovers to our condo to enjoy later.
Now for my chicken biscuits! When the server took my order, I told him I wanted to add a side and make it a complete meal instead of an appetizer. I had no idea how much food I was ordering! You could split an order of chicken biscuits with someone else and possibly a side. Here are the biscuits.
The Thigh-High Chicken Biscuits are described on the menu as “three biscuits topped with Chef Art’s famous fried chicken thighs along with bread and butter pickles, drizzled with hot honey.”
Our server asked if I wanted the hot honey on the side or drizzled over the chicken. I found the sauce pretty hot and was happy I ordered it on the side. I never got anywhere near finishing it. So, in case you can’t tell, these biscuits are enormous! I was only able to eat one. They were so large that I ate them with a fork and knife!
And I ordered a side! What was I thinking? Oh yeah, I was thinking I wanted to try the grits.
I will say this about the grits. They were delicious. However, they were so rich that I had a little heartburn, which is rare. Additionally, the cheese topping on the grits was extreme. Our server mentioned that it was hard to tell which side was grits and which was macaroni and cheese when they came out of the kitchen because of the layer of cheese.
Believe it or not, the thigh-high chicken biscuits reheated wonderfully in the microwave. They made an excellent breakfast the following day.
I hope you enjoyed our stop at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. After having such a wonderful meal, I look forward to returning and trying another version of their famous fried chicken. Since this meal, we’ve revisited Homecomin’ to provide a full restaurant review:
