A Hidden Gem: The Scat Cat’s Club at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter

Nestled in a room off the lobby of Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter lies one of the hidden gems of Walt Disney World Resort. Here you can unwind in a southern-style jazz lounge called the Scat Cat’s Club. Decorated with music memorabilia, this full bar serves up specialty cocktails, wine, draft beer, and a lip-smacking list of appetizers. The location recently “jazzed” up their appetizer menu, so I’m here to give you all the details on the new eats!

First up is Chicken and Waffles. These bite-sized snacks are the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. The dish comes with tender Cajun chicken bites served on waffle crisps and topped with buttermilk ranch and candied bacon. Try these out with a tall draft beer and you’ve got yourself a tasty combination.

Next up is Crawfish Étouffée with tender crawfish tails, spicy shellfish stew and steamed rice. This classic Cajun dish will warm you up and have you singing its praises! And while you’re enjoying those spicy seafood flavors, why not sip on a Blood Orange Margarita with premium tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice and blood orange sour?

On the topic of seafood, you’ll love the Sassagoula Crab Dip, served with bagel chips and cornichons. This dish is perfect to share among friends!

Of course, what would a good southern-style menu be without some good ol’ smoked brisket? The Bayou Brisket Sliders are sure to be a hit with smoked brisket, tomato jam, and pimento cheese. They also come with delicious and crisp house-made Cajun-seasoned chips. While you’re chowing down on these sliders, why not sip on a Southern Hurricane as well? This refreshing beverage consists of dark rum, Puerto Rican rum, and tropical juices topped with a float of bourbon.

Finishing off this delicious menu is the Mardi Gras Mac and Cheese. This New Orleans-inspired eat has Gulf shrimp, andouille sausage, and cheddar cheese sauce topped with cornbread crumbles. Try pairing it with Ramos Fizz – gin, fresh lemon and lime juices, half and half, orange flower water, agave nectar, and soda water.

Dining at the Scat Cat’s Club requires no reservations and is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy some cool music while you nosh on these tasty appetizers and drinks. If you’ve never been, stop on by and stay a while! While you’re here, you can also enjoy eats from Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory, where you’ll find even more New Orleans-inspired food as well as fresh beignets topped with powdered sugar. In addition, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside is just a short boat ride down the river, where you’ll find the Riverside Mill Food Court, Boatwright’s Dining Hall, River Roost, and Muddy Rivers.
