The River Roost is the bar/lounge at Walt Disney Worlds Port Orleans Riverside Resort.
What makes this place so special is the entertainment. Yehaa Bob Jackson performs there most of the week.
If you have never seen him, he can’t the whole place singling along in seconds. It’s really a great time, and it’s free to see him.
Get there early as the tables fill up fast.
They have a full bar and some small bites (wish they would expand it but the food at this resort is dismal at best). The drinks on the other hand are great.
Bob has been performing there over 20 years now, and all over the parks longer than that.
He received the Disney Legacy Award in 2013. That’s a high honor at Disney, now if they can get him a window on Main Street!
We have seen him many many years now, Don’t miss him!
Hair looks great Bob!

The "Andouille Sausage Nachos" were one of the most disappointing appetizers I've ever ordered. For $18, I expected actual andouille sausage. Instead, what arrived was a basket of corn chips covered in what tasted and looked like cheese whiz, with little to no sausage in sight.
Calling these "andouille sausage nachos" is misleading at best. This was essentially chips and processed cheese sold at a premium price. If you're charging $18 for nachos, customers deserve real ingredients and a portion that matches the description.
Save your money and order something else. Or go somewhere else. Yeehaw Bob was cool though.

We love the atmosphere. Sit at a table, the bar, or in a couch near the fireplace. John is the best server and keeps you smiling with great service and a wonderful sense of humor. Be sure to visit when Yeehaw Bob is performing for fabulous entertainment.
