Cookes of Dublin is the quick-service companion to Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant at Disney Springs, located in The Landing. While Raglan Road offers a full table-service pub experience with live Irish music, dancing, and a larger menu, Cookes of Dublin is built for faster, more casual dining. It gives guests a way to enjoy Irish-inspired comfort food without needing a reservation or committing to a long meal, making it one of Disney Springs’ more useful grab-and-go options. Disney currently lists it as a quick-service restaurant serving American and Irish fare beside Raglan Road.

The restaurant’s signature item is its Famous Fish ’n’ Chips, a battered fish-and-fries plate that anchors the menu and gives the location the feel of a traditional takeaway chip shop. Current menu items also include a combo box with fish, chicken tender, chips, tartar sauce, and Dalkey mustard sauce; Hog in a Box with pulled pork, potatoes, stuffing, onions, and apple sauce; loaded chips; salads; sweets; beer; cider; and other beverages. The menu is smaller and more direct than Raglan Road’s, but that is part of the point: Cookes is designed around speed, hearty portions, and familiar Irish-pub flavors in a less formal setting.

Historically, Cookes of Dublin is tied to the arrival of Raglan Road during the later Downtown Disney era, before the district was transformed into Disney Springs. Raglan Road opened as a highly detailed Irish pub concept, built with authentic materials and furnishings from Ireland and staffed around a strong food, music, and hospitality identity. Cookes extended that same Irish personality into a smaller format, giving the area a casual counter-service option that still felt connected to the larger pub next door.

Its location also helps explain its staying power. The Landing is one of Disney Springs’ busiest dining zones, with nearby restaurants, shops, bars, and entertainment drawing steady foot traffic throughout the day and evening. Cookes of Dublin fits that environment well because it works for several different kinds of visits: a quick lunch while shopping, a late dinner after drinks, a casual alternative when Raglan Road is fully booked, or a portable snack-style meal for guests who simply want fish and chips.

Today, Cookes of Dublin remains notable because it fills a practical niche with more personality than a generic fast-casual counter. It is not as theatrical as Raglan Road, but it benefits from the same Irish pub lineage and gives Disney Springs a reliable, flavorful, relatively approachable quick-service option. For guests who want comfort food with a little Dublin character, it remains one of the district’s most dependable stops.
