What it is

Flo's V8 Cafe is built as a chrome-and-neon roadside diner from the Route 66 era, and it is the most convincingly executed building at this park. The interior is broken into several rooms with booth seating, and the back patio looks directly across at Ornament Valley and the Radiator Springs Racers track.

The food is comfort-plate American: rotisserie chicken, slow-cooked beef, a vegetable tater bake, all served on partitioned plates with sides. It is competent rather than exciting, and it is the most substantial sit-down meal you can get at this park without a reservation.

Breakfast here is the underrated meal. It runs early, the room is quiet, and it is served in a dining room that is empty at 9am and unusable at 1pm.

Our verdict

Reliable rather than remarkable food in the best-looking building at the park. Come for the patio view and the air conditioning, and eat breakfast rather than lunch.

What to order

The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

  • Rotisserie chicken plate
  • Slow-cooked beef with mashed potatoes
  • Veggie tater bake
  • Cobb salad
  • Milkshakes

Tips for Flo's V8 Cafe

  • The back patio faces Ornament Valley and the race track. Ask for it, take your tray out there, and you get the best free view in Cars Land with a meal in front of you.
  • Eat breakfast here. Cars Land opens with the park, the dining room is empty before 10am, and it is the only decent sit-down breakfast in the park.
  • Mobile order and then walk in — the pickup counter is inside and you can scout for a table while you wait.
  • The vegetarian tater bake is a full meal rather than a side, and it is one of the better vegetarian quick-service plates at the resort.
  • Repeat visitors: the dining rooms have different atmospheres. The one nearest the entrance is loud and bright; the far room is quieter and has the better booths.

Rotisserie Chicken Plate

Flo's V8 Cafe

$19.99

Half a rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables, served on a partitioned diner plate.

Our take: Competent comfort food and the most substantial plate you can get at this park without a reservation. Take it to the back patio facing the Racers track.

Savory Gluten-friendly

Veggie Tater Bake

Flo's V8 Cafe

$16.49

A baked casserole of potatoes and vegetables in a cheese sauce, served as a full entree rather than a side.

Our take: One of the better vegetarian quick-service plates at the resort, and it is on the main board rather than hidden. Heavy enough that you will not want to ride afterwards.

Flo's V8 Cafe: common questions

Does Flo's V8 Cafe serve breakfast?

Yes, and it is the quietest and best-value meal here. The dining room is nearly empty before 10am while the rest of Cars Land is queueing for Radiator Springs Racers.

Where is the best seating?

The back patio, which looks directly across at Ornament Valley and the Racers track. Inside, the far dining room is quieter than the one nearest the door.

Do I need a reservation?

No — this is quick-service. Mobile order through the app, then collect at the counter inside. Reservations are not accepted and are not needed.

Are there good vegetarian options?

The veggie tater bake is a proper entree rather than a side, and the kitchen handles allergen requests well. Vegan options are more limited; ask at the counter.
