Steakhouse 71 Breakfast: Does the Winning Streak Continue?

Just in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, the Contemporary Resort’s former restaurant –  The Wave… of American Flavors – reopened as Steakhouse 71.

Located on the first floor of the Contemporary Resort, this reimagined resort restaurant evokes the history of the resort and its sleek, modern design.

Steakhouse 71 also offers a lounge and serves several of the restaurant’s dishes, including its famous Bacon and Eggs, here as well.

Upon its opening, our park reporter Chrissy reviewed Steakhouse 71 at lunch and found several delicious items; and now, she’s back to see how its lunch menu compares to breakfast.

Appetizers

Steakhouse 71’s breakfast menu offers three options for appetizers including a fruit plate for $9.00, breakfast pastries for $10.00, and oatmeal for $7.00.

Entrees

Steakhouse 71 Seasonal Pancakes – $14.00

During Chrissy’s visit, the seasonal pancakes were pumpkin spice with a maple bourbon syrup. Essentially, they’re dessert disguised as breakfast with a guest’s choice of bacon, sausage, or chicken sausage.

Western Omelette – $16.00

Officially serves one but there’s more than enough for two. According to Chrissy, this is like everything else on the menu – exactly what you expect from a steakhouse breakfast as it is hearty and not at all shy with its meat and cheese. So good.

Also, the biscuits were wonderfully crumbly, and the potatoes had a little rosemary with a beautiful crust.

Steak & Eggs – $21.00

Chrissy felt like John Wayne would’ve had this for breakfast, and who could blame him? I mean, who wouldn’t want a medium filet for breakfast, right?

This 4-oz Filet Mignon comes with two-eggs any-style along with breakfast potatoes and Bearnaise sauce.

Walt’s Prime Rib Hash – $17.00

According to Chrissy’s server, Walt loved hash, and understandably so. Meat, eggs, potatoes; what’s not to love? Just fantastic.

Steakhouse 71 Feast – $20.00

This is the one with the Mickey waffle and the tin of grits, along with eggs benedict, scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, fruit. Whew. You won’t walk away from this one hungry.

The bacon-cheddar grits were the very clear standout and the tin was scraped clean. Plus, the smoked Gouda on top is creamy, sweet, and delicious.

Non-Alcoholic Specialties

Cold Brew & Tonic – $6.00

This coffee drink is Chrissy new’s favorite! A bit of sparkle with a huge kick of caffeine. The menu describes it as Joffrey’s coffee cold brew, maple, vanilla syrup, and tonic water. Perfect.

Sherbet Punch – $7.00

Basically a baby shower favorite in a taller glass. Guaranteed to be a huge hit with the tiny people.
