Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs Finally Opens, We Tried the Pickle Dog and Full Menu

The day has finally come: Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs has opened at Disney’s BoardWalk after being initially announced last summer. Of course, we had to rush out to review the entire menu.

Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs is in the former funnel cake kiosk. It has been refurbished with a blue and yellow color scheme.

Guests order via a window on the left side of the kiosk. They pick up their order on the other side.

In addition to some unique gourmet corn dogs, Blue Ribbon offers lemonade. There are also two cotton candy options on the menu, but neither were available on opening day. We’ll have to come back and review them another time.

Everything is made fresh. So when you order, you’ll receive a buzzer that goes off when your food is ready.

Each corn dog is served with a bag of Lay’s potato chips.

The big dog is the adult-sized classic corn dog, while the small one is the kids dog, which tastes the same. “Classic” is an apt name. It’s as good as any corn dog you’ll get at a park or ball game. It has great sweet breading and the hot dog is salty. That said, it’s nothing special.

Pickle Dog – $15.50

All beef hot dog wrapped in a dill pickle, fried in cornmeal batter, rolled in panko bread crumbs. Served with peanut butter and a bag of chips.

This tastes like a breaded pickle appetizer. The pickle is too big and overwhelms everything. It’s odd having so much pickle with a hot dog. The peanut butter dip is interesting. This is worth trying if you love fried pickles.

Mexican Street Dog – $15.50

Jalapeño cheddar sausage, fried in cornmeal batter, topped with garlic mayo, corn kernels, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Garnished with a lime wedge and served with a bag of chips.

A hand holds a rectangular tray containing an elote corn dog topped with crumbled cheese, cilantro, and sauce. The tray also has some corn kernels on the side.

This was our favorite of the gourmet hot dogs. If you like street corn toppings, you’ll like this. It has a sweet heat that works with the salty hot dog. It would be nice to get more breading for more cornbread flavor, but it’s still a win.

Golden Dragon – $15.50

All beef hot dog fried in cornmeal batter, rolled in panko bread crumbs. Served with sriracha mayo, sweet Thai chili, and a bag of chips.

This dog is a meal. The extra panko makes it crunchy. The sriracha mayo is a miss for us. It’s sweet and creamy but not what we want with a corn dog. The Thai chili has a good sweet heat. We mostly liked it but it’s too heavy for the Florida heat. It could be a good shareable option.

Lemonade – $7 for Regular 16oz and $9 for Large 32oz

A paper cup with blue and white stripes labeled "Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs" sits on a round outdoor table. The cup is filled with a light green beverage and ice cubes.

This is classic fresh-squeezed lemonade. It’s good though we would have liked more lemon tartness. We also feel the lemonades are too expensive. We would rather just get a soda.

Strawberry Lemonade – $7 for Regular 16oz and $9 for Large 32oz

This has a strong strawberry flavor and is not tart. Kids will like it.

Hibiscus Agave Lemonade – $8 for Regular 16oz and $10 for Large 32oz

A paper cup with blue and white stripes, labeled "Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs," filled with a light brown beverage, sits on a round outdoor table surrounded by metal chairs in the background.

This is too sour for us but some might like it. It has a more floral flavor than the others. It’s tarter than the strawberry but still sweet.

Raspberry Apricot Lemonade – $8 for Regular 16oz and $10 for Large 32oz

A striped paper cup with a design that says "Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs" contains a pink-colored beverage with ice, placed on a textured outdoor table.

This is good. It keeps the tartness and sweetness of the raspberry. We didn’t taste much lemon.
