Southern Burger Homecomin arrives at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ with double patties, pimento cheese, fried green tomato, bacon, and jalapeño jam.

A new burger has arrived at one of Disney Springs’ most beloved restaurants, and it’s bringing a full plate of Southern comfort with it. For a limited time, guests visiting Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ can try the Southern Burger, a stacked creation packed with classic Southern flavors and a little bit of spicy flair.
Southern Burger Homecomin: A Southern Twist on the Classic Burger

The new Southern Burger Homecomin’ chefs designed delivers bold flavors inspired by traditional Southern cooking. According to a recent announcement from the restaurant, the burger features:
Two all-beef patties are topped with American Cheese, pecan-smoked bacon, two fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese, arugula, and a truffle aioli. Served on a brioche bun and a side of crispy fries
Between the creamy pimento cheese, crispy fried green tomato, and sweet-spicy jalapeño jam, the burger leans heavily into the flavors that have made Southern cuisine famous. The double patties ensure the sandwich holds its own against all those toppings, because nothing is worse than a burger where the toppings are doing all the heavy lifting.
A Perfect Fit for Homecomin’s Menu
If you’ve visited Homecomin’ before, the Southern Burger feels right at home on the menu. The restaurant, led by celebrity chef Art Smith, focuses on farm-fresh Florida ingredients and classic Southern comfort food inspired by family recipes and regional traditions.
Guests already flock to the restaurant for fan favorites like:
- Chef Art’s famous fried chicken
- Shrimp and grits
- Chicken and doughnuts
- Fried green tomatoes
So adding a burger topped with fried green tomato and pimento cheese almost feels inevitable, like the culinary equivalent of a Southern family reunion.
Why This Southern Burger Homecomin Stands Out
What makes the Southern Burger particularly interesting is the combination of textures and flavors:
- Creamy: Pimento cheese brings a rich, tangy base.
- Crunchy: The fried green tomato adds texture and a classic Southern twist.
- Savory: Bacon and beef deliver hearty flavor.
- Sweet and spicy: Jalapeño jam adds just enough kick to keep things interesting.
In other words, it’s not just a burger—it’s practically a Southern tasting menu between two buns.

For fans of Southern comfort food, or just people who appreciate a burger that requires both hands and a strategic napkin supply, the Southern Burger may be worth adding to your next Disney Springs dining list. Just don’t wait too long. Like many special menu items at Homecomin’, this one likely won’t stick around forever.
