I LOVE SUMMER HOUSE SO MUCH!!! The guacamole was the best ever!! It was so good that now I like avocados even though before this guacamole I didn’t even like avocados! My meal was decent but because I ate so much chips and guac I wasn’t that hungry. I got a cookie from the cookie bar which was also decent, but I’d much rather walk across the street to Salt n Straw, or to Gideon’s if you’re looking for a PERFECT cookie. Without the guacamole, Summer House wouldn’t be the best, but because of the guacamole, IT IS THE BEST ❤️! Even if you don’t like guacamole because I didn’t, please try it it is life changing. If that doesn’t satisfy you, then get the Cheesy Dream Puffs because they’re pretty good as well. Their guacamole was so good that we came back for it another time during our trip. Also they have really good lemonade, and the kids menus actually had different things to do unlike all the other restaurants that give you the Cuties one. I definitely recommend Summer House for your next trip. The guacamole SELLS IT. ? ?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️?️???????????????
PRO TIP: If you don’t get the chance to go to Disney Springs during your trip and eat there, they actually have a location INSIDE the Orlando Airport which is also supposed to be just as good.
Pros:
GUACAMOLE ?, decent offerings, two locations, kids menuCons:

New, and had to give it a whirl .. .. Ordered their HUEVOS RANCHEROS and it was fine .. ..
Presentation was a little awkward and it was in a large bowl atop a lightly-fried tortilla so cutting the tortilla was a bit awkward without pushing the whole thing out of the bowl .. ..
Taste was fine but Summer House is definitely a touristy-brunch spot .. ..

Meh. Was in Orlando for a conference so my wife and I snuck over to Disney Springs for a dinner. We were excited to try a new place. Disappointing. Check-in process was confusing. Confirmed our reservations at the outdoor hostess stand, and told to stay nearby. As nothing happened for a while, we wandered inside, and checked with the hostess stand inside, and were seated right away. Odd.
Ordered an appetizer and two entrees. Less than 5 minutes later, the entrees arrived. No appetizer. We canceled our appetizer, and the woman who brought the food said she would check in with our server to see what happened. Nothing from the server for the next half hour, when we got an apology but no explanation other than "Not sure how that happened!" I'm not sure what we expected, but it seemed insincere at best,
The entrees weren't good. My wife ordered the tacos, which immediately fell apart. I tried the chicken basket, and did not have high expectations, and the chicken fell short of even those.
Had a drink at the bar after dinner, with the idea of watching the drone show (spoiler alert: Disney set it up so you can't see the show from the bar, only from the seats outside which cost extra to book), and the bartender was very nice. And finally, we even tried a cookie from the cookie shop attached. Again - meh. It was big, but nothing special. PLenty of better choices at Disnet Springs. Choose accordingly.

we didn't actually go to the restaurant, we went to the cookie bar. The line was very long, but with good reason! I got the lemon cookie and a brown butter rice crispy treat. They were both HUGE and AMAZING! My friend also got two different cookies and agreed that they were absolutely delicious!!
