Being no strangers to The Wave at the Contemporary, especially when visiting the Magic Kingdom,we stopped in for a quick bite to kick off our afternoon in the Park.
The Wave’s bar menu likes change often, and while you’ll find some standards, you’ll also see new additions here and there. We’re fans of the Flatbreads, and while the Buffalo Mozzarella Flatbread is a tasty staple, it was the Our “Everything on it” Bison Burger Flatbread that really caught our eyes! We didn’t ask for what “everything” was, and the only noted ingredient in the description was Smoked Tillamook Cheddar.
Let’s just say they’re not messing around when they say “Everything!”
The flatbread is loaded up with Tillamook cheddar, caramelized onions, bison burger patties, mustard, ketchup, what seemed to be a doctored mayonnaise (it was more like a sauce), diced tomatoes, and basil chiffonade.
The crust held up to the toppings very well, but many of the toppings wanted to tumble onto the plate when trying to pick it up.
The burger still had a touch of pink to it and was moist.
Instead of breaking up the patty into several little pieces and sprinkled around the flatbread, they are simple cut into smaller patties remaining fairly intact. And the caramelized onions brought a fantastic sweetness to all of the savory elements of the dish.
We also ordered the Buffalo Mozzarella Flatbread with Roma Tomatoes and Pesto. If you like to keep things simple, I definitely recommend it.
It was slightly different as I’ve received it in the past (when they also offered a Barbecue Pork Flatbread), with fresh basil on top as opposed to the drizzle of pesto as seen below. I have to admit, this recent visit was much better and brighter in flavor.
Last summer, they offered this fantastic Rock Shrimp Flatbread.
Oh, and Matt happened to order a Bloody Mary here. Again. 
While I’d definitely order the Our “Everything on it” Bison Burger Flatbread again, I’m excited to see what they come up with next! Another fantastic, relaxing visit to The Wave in the books.
Have you tried any of the seasonal flatbreads at The Wave? Which one has been your favorite?
Have been there a few times but have not tried any of the flatbreads. And I agree, the “Everything on it” sounds interesting… Yum!
They do a fantastic job on the flatbreads. I’m sure you would enjoy them!
The lounge in the Wave is one of the more underrated lunch spots in the Magic Kingdom area. It’s a fun place with a great ambiance, and it’s very rarely busy. Thanks for showing us what we’re missing out on by not visiting as often as we’d like. That flatbread looks intense.
We love stopping in even just for a beer at some point during our MK visits, especially since Outer Rim doesn’t open til 4/5 and the only food available nearby is from Contempo Cafe.
im tempted to venture over to the wave, we have an adr for California grill, but that burger with everything on it sounds too good to resist!
Stop by The Wave for the flatbread for a snack, but don’t skip out on dinner at California Grill! Their entrees are fantastic, and they have delicious flatbreads and an amazing cheese board as well!
Hmm. I was going to try to fit in a breakfast here on my October trip but lunch is pretty compelling, too.
I love their breakfast, whether ordering a la carte or the buffet. Their bar menu at lunch/dinner is fantastic too, though! You can also order the items from the dining room as well. Either way, you’ll be in for a great meal!
These look delish. I’m about ready to have dinner… too bad it will be in my living room and not in WDW.
…I’m guessing I can finally comment through my Twitter account now since I’ve done it three times this week on other blogs! Yay I’m so happy!
Hope you guys have a great weekend!
The pizza/burger combo usually does nothing for me, but I have to admit that I’m intrigued! I’ve had the bison cheeseburger on the Wave’s lunch menu before and really enjoyed it. I can only imagine that they do the flatbread justice as well.
Thank you, Estelle! We’re having a great weekend and hope you are, too! I’m hoping the bison flatbread sticks around a bit longer as I’d like to enjoy it again!
Melissa – I know what you mean by being underwhelmed by the combo, but they really did a nice job on this one!
