Walt’s Prime Rib Hash was a top pick for us, and a signature breakfast at Steakhouse 71. This dish included Seared Prime Rib, Fried Potatoes, Caramelized Onions & Peppers topped with a Fried Egg. Perfect if you’re looking for a balanced meal, this dish was exquisitely prepared. The potatoes were well seasoned, and the rib melt in your mouth.

The Veggie Omelet was another showstopper on the menu. With Spinach, Mushrooms, Tomato, and Swiss served with Breakfast Potatoes, this meal was so filling! The biscuit was a lovely addition and the potato fries, perfectly crisp. The omelet had some wonderful flavors in it, and the swiss cheese really put it over the top. In fact, there was so much cheese, that we actually took some off! A great option for vegetarians if looking for a hearty breakfast.

Steakhouse 71 Drinks
One of the biggest disappointments of our Steakhouse 71 Breakfast experience was the complete lack of amazing coffee drinks. We prioritize coffee over everything. As such, we were shocked to learn they didn’t even have any syrups or even alternative milk on hand to make a latte. However, we’re sure this is the midst of changing. Fingers crossed you’ll have more coffee options. Thankfully, there is a Joffrey’s Coffee Bar at the entrance of Disney’s Contemporary Resort that allowed us to get our coffee after breakfast.
Nevertheless, there were other drinks on the menu, both Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic. There are some light coffee options, like cappuccinos, punch, tea, and Joffrey’s French Pressed coffee. Nothing here really to write home about, and this was definitely an aspect of the menu we felt could have benefited from something special.
Steakhouse 71 Breakfast Cost
One of the best things about the Steakhouse 71 Breakfast is the cost. Entrees range from $15- $21 per person, and closer to $10 a person if you’re feeding kids. Additionally, the fact that this is a sit-down meal at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, with excellent service, and a great breakfast menu, and it’s easy to see why we recommend this place.
