New Menu Items at Gaston's Tavern

[odd man out]

When planning my recent trip, I didn't consider Gaston's Taven worth a stop other than to see what it looked like (we have not been to WDW since it opened) or maybe get a snack as there were not any "real" food items posted in the on-line menus. But when we got there on March 7, I noticed they had some sandwiches. I recently checked on-line menus again and the sandwiches were still not listed, so I thought maybe I had imagined it. But just today I see the WDW site is now showing these sandwiches on their menu. I still have not seen these listed on other sites so I assume this is a recent change. We were going to try one for lunch on our second MK day, but ended up getting the Starbucks Chicken Wrap instead, so I can't give a review. Perhaps someone else has tried these and post a review? I like a nice sandwich for lunch (rather than the ubiquitous burger/fries) so I am encouraged to see this as a new lunch option. BTW, the Starbucks chicken warp was quite good. My wife and I spit one. We stopped on Main Street for mid morning coffee and stuck the wrap in the day pack for later.

Trio of assorted macarons sounds right up
my alley, and the price is as good or better than what we pay here if they’re the regular size.

We tried the Gaston’s turkey sandwich last week. It was huge, and the cold cuts and spread were good. But the bread was very dry. It was a large roll, like at subway. If I’d had a tablespoon or two of mayo to slather on, might have been fine. (Literally should have scouted out packets of mayo, but was already sitting where I wanted to be when I realized the dryness issue.) We ended up eating the “insides” and throwing away lots of the bread. Tasted good, but way too much (or the wrong) bread product.

I wonder if any similarities to the old starring rolls sandwiches?
Although I never remembered their buns being dry

Ok thanks! I just read this... so sadly no return of the starring rolls sandwiches
For a minute there I had gotten my hopes up that they snuck their way back in.
I really do miss as those as well!!

We were there on Monday and my DD was so sad the ham and cheese pretzel roll was gone.

 

[JFox]

I miss the Pork Shanks.

That's too bad! We had one in January without knowing anything about them, and they were delicious! We were freezing cold, and that perked us right up!

I can never get past the Cinnamon roll. It keeps calling my name. Sambuster

Oh man.....those smell so good!

 

[Smbmoyers]

Now I’m drooling and dreaming of those cinnamon rolls nothing says Disney to me like them. Has anyone tried he macaroons from there yet? They sound delicious as well!

 

[odd man out]

It's interesting. Since we hadn't been to WDW since 2009, we had never seen the new Fantasyland before. So we were not missing the pork shanks, or pretzel roll, or anything else that used to be there since we had never seen it before. I've been reading lots of threads recently where frequent visitors report being disappointed that things aren't the way they used to be. One advantage to visiting only about once every 8 years is that when we go, most everything is new (Fantasyland, Pandora, Soarin'), or updated (Frozen, Mickey's Philharmagic), or It's been so long, I just don't remember it (Living with the Land, Tough to Be a Bug), or I never got around to seeing it before (Space Mtn, Tiki Birds), so I'm not disappointed about things not being like they used to be. Ignorance is Bliss.

We did not try either, sorry. But I must say I am not yet on board with the Macaroon fad. I just don't see the point of spending 2$ for a little tiny cookie that isn't all that exciting (at least to me).

Meh. True that. It would have to be pretty amazing to make me change my cinnamon roll alliegance. I’m just always curious
