Well, I finally got around to doing it. What is that you ask? Well, I went to Splitsville in Disney Springs to try the “new” Buffalo Egg Rolls. Okay, they were new when I first planned to try them. Higher priority items like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, Halloween Horror Nights, Howl-O-Scream, and even The Haunted Road event slowed me down. I have tried to go on four different occasions over the last few months. Still, this place fails to make the cut each time. Yet, I finally made it to book a reservation here and enjoy this appetizer.

If you are unfamiliar with Splitsville Dining, this restaurant has a large dining area and a bowling alley. This restaurant is run by the same parent company as Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ and Everglazed Doughnuts. In addition to the indoor seating and bowling alley, this place provides an excellent outdoor bar area, usually offering live music. Recently, I sat in the outdoor area with my advance dining reservation. On that occasion, I finally ordered the Buffalo Egg Rolls.

This newer appetizer costs $15 before any applicable discounts. The menu description tells us to anticipate hand rolled egg rolls. These egg rolls come filled with buffalo chicken, cream cheese, celery and carrots according to the menu. The menu description also tells you they are served with scallions and avocado ranch for dipping. In fairness, the scallions appear on your serving plate topping the egg rolls. Well, the ones that do not fall onto your plate sit atop the egg rolls. Also, the celery and carrots arrived in some lettuce during my experience.

Regarding presentation, this appetizer looks solid. The more bar and grill style cut egg roll presentation works for these. The avocado ranch comes in a container suitable for dipping. The vegetables sit at the side of plate asking for attention.

I tried the first portion of egg roll by itself without vegetables or dipping sauce. I found the flavor pretty good. If you enjoy these egg rolls this way, you will experience a solid amount of kick from the buffalo flavoring. As I was eating this first portion, I pondered if the sauce functions as a cooling agent for these egg rolls. Now, the spicy kick of these egg rolls does not exceed theme park theme spicy levels though. Yet, as mentioned, you will notice it if only eating egg rolls with nothing else.

Next, I tried a portion of egg roll with some of the sauce. My expectation of the sauce acting as a cooling agent proved true. The sauce all by itself presented a refreshing flavor. If someone in your group voices concern about the heat level of the buffalo flavor, this dipping sauce will solve that problem. In fact, I think if you do not overdo it, the dipping sauce increases the taste bud experience of these egg rolls. For full transparency, I used all the dipping sauce when I had these.

Even though the vegetables on the side looked like a make-shift lettuce wrap, they did add to the dining experience. The freshness of the vegetables showed promise. The crunchy texture given by them when added to the egg rolls helps also. In addition, in my opinion, the scallions add a needed supporting flavor to this appetizer. Yet, anyone adverse to scallions will want to avoid that aspect of these.

The egg roll “shell” itself tasted reasonably good. The texture matches the other components nicely. I suspect that some guests will find its texture less than positive still.

In terms of dining experience, I sat outside in the bar area. Tara, my server, did a good job caring for me and other guests. I went on a weekday for lunch before heading to Halloween Horror Nights across town. The live music started around noon increasing value of dining here.

Regarding the standard question if I would order this again, I find myself torn. I would not come here specifically for this appetizer. Still, if a group wanted to dine here, I would happily propose this appetizer. These egg rolls would be easy to share. Despite the name, I doubt any guests using the dipping sauce would struggle with the spicy nature of the buffalo chicken. Overall, these make a good addition to the menu here. As always, eat like you mean it!
