May 14, 1986 – The Land Grille Room Opens at Epcot
On May 14, 1986, The Land Grille Room opened in Epcot’s The Land pavilion. It was originally called The Good Turn Restaurant, which opened on October 1, 1982, and closed in May, 1986. The Land Grille Room closed on October 4, 1993, but was reopened once again in November 15, 1993, as the Garden Grill Restaurant.
The Land Grille Room’s menu featured all-American fare, including full breakfasts, regional American pizzas, sandwiches, steak, poultry, and seafood. All of the menu could be ordered in entrée or sample portions. As with The Good Turn Restaurant, and continuing with the Garden Grill Restaurant, The Land Grille Room was a revolving restaurant that gave guests a chance to observe all of the sights of the “Living with the Land” attraction.
