The busy food court at Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort has recently experienced some changes. Chef Cheryl Smith recently debuted a new menu which only kept a few favorites, including soups, the popular meatball sub for lunch, and a few breakfast items.

For breakfast, there’s a new egg-white omelet for health-conscious guests. The “Pop Daily Specials” now offer different omelets throughout the week, including Southwest, Italian and Floridian creations full of fresh veggies. You can also try a new corned beef hash, a hearty breakfast burrito, biscuits and gravy, or a create-your-own yogurt.

Among new sandwiches offered are a black bean burger, turkey sandwich, pork sandwich, salmon burger and a “sloppy joe” topped with onion rings. Plus, you can create your own burritos, nachos, and tacos.


Flatbreads are new, including a margherita with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, a Mediterranean-inspired flatbread and one with shrimp and goat cheese. There are also more substantial options such as the pepperoni pizza bread or the meaty or Reuben strombolis.

A little more upscale offerings include mussels baked with fennel cream sauce, roast pork shank and shrimp and cheesy grits. There are even nightly specials including rotisserie chicken, beef brisket barbecue, coconut curry shrimp, roasted pork loin, beef stroganoff and roasted vegetable tofu.

You won’t want to miss the new sweet treats such as cotton candy lemonade, a strawberry-banana smoothie, tie-dye cheesecake and a crispy-coated ice cream sundae.

The colorful food court makes it easy to move from station to station for preferences, an easy way to feed a family.

sloppy joe

Chef Cheryl from Everything POP was kind enough to share the “sloppy joe” recipe so you can now try it at home. Enjoy!

Everything POP Shopping & Dining Sloppy Joes with Onion Rings
Serves 4

Onion Rings

4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons Cajun spice
3 softball-sized Spanish onions

Sloppy Joes

1 pound ground chuck
2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 medium Spanish onion, finely diced
1/2 medium green bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 fresh jalapeno, deseeded and minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
4 hamburger buns, toasted
4 slices cheddar cheese

For onion rings:

  • Combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium shallow bowl; set aside.
  • Combine milk, water, beaten egg, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a separate medium shallow bowl; set aside. Combine remaining 2 cups flour, cornmeal, and Cajun spice in a third medium shallow bowl; set aside.
  • Peel and cut onion into 1/2-inch thick slices. Separate the layers into rings. Working with a few rings at a time, place them into the first bowl, coating completely and shaking off excess flour. Dip into milk mixture, letting excess drip off. Place into third bowl, coating completely, shaking off excess flour. Set coated onion rings onto a large baking sheet. Once all rings are coated, refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Pour enough oil into a deep pot to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat to 350°F.
    Working in batches, carefully place battered onion rings in hot oil and cook until they float to the surface, about 3 minutes. Transfer onion rings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil. Keep warm until ready to serve.

For sloppy joes:

  • Combine ground beef, onion, garlic, bell pepper, and salt in a large pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently to break up the beef, 20 minutes. Spoon off and discard grease from pot.
  • Add ground black pepper, Worcestershire, and crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Scoop a generous portion of sloppy joe onto each bun; top each with a slice of cheese. Place 3 fried onion rings over cheese, and finish with top half of bun.

  1. …the pork shank is delicious …and filling (I was just there). But at least 1/2 of the new menu items were never available because 1 of the 4 food stations was closed all the time because POP no longer has the full occupancy it used to have ..due to AoA opening across the lake.

  2. it is huge!!!!! and comes with mashed potatoes and can have gravy also can get bbq sauce cup if you want it, my dh is a huge eater and almost couldnt finish it

  3. 🙁 I was sad to see a different menu in June when I was there. I always looked forward to the chicken pasta meal they had. I even made a special trip to Pop for that trip (we didn’t stay there in June) just for it and it was gone. 🙁

  4. Oooh I wonder if the pork shank is anything like the one offered at Gaston’s Tavern in the new Fantasyland! If it is my husband is going to be making the walk over the friendship bridge from AOA to POP ALOT during our week stay! lol
