Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue has now officially opened at Walt Disney World Resort’s Epcot. The restaurant is inspired by The Muppets’ Sam Eagle.

Located in the American Adventure pavilion, the fast-casual restaurant is named after The Muppets’ disciplined and patriotic Sam Eagle (via Disney Parks Blog).

Regal Eagle Smokehouse serves BBQ and brews, and hosts the competition known as ‘Sam’s Centennial Cook-Off: A Salute to All Cook-Offs but Mostly Barbecue’.

The restaurant’s décor will boast Sam Eagle’s famous face, which also makes an appearance on the entrance sign and on a poster promoting the barbecue competition.
