<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Ronto Roasters''' is a quick-service restaurant in [[Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge]] at [[Disneyland Park]] in the [[Disneyland Resort]], California. It opened with the land on May 31, 2019, in the marketplace of Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu. It is built around a single theatrical idea — meat roasted by a repurposed podracing engine — and a single signature dish, the Ronto Wrap, which became one of the most talked-about theme park foods of the land's opening and one of the few Galaxy's Edge dishes Disney has published as an official recipe. An identical counterpart operates in the Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida, which opened on August 29, 2019.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Ronto Roasters was announced on February 27, 2019, as part of the dining line-up for Galaxy's Edge, and opened when the Disneyland land opened on May 31, 2019.<ref>{{cite web |title=Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Set to Open at Disneyland Resort on May 31 and at Walt Disney World Resort on Aug. 29 |url=https://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/star-wars-galaxy-s-edge-set-to-open-at-disneyland-resort-on-may-31-and-at-walt-disney-world-resort-on-aug-29-871608260.html |website=PR Newswire |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref> Disney's opening material introduced it in one sentence that doubled as its whole design brief: a large podracing engine firing up a barbecue pit for Ronto Wraps, in the Black Spire Outpost market.<br />
<br />
In the land's story, the stand belongs to Bakkar, a butcher and devoted podracing fan from Tatooine, who hung podracing flags around the stall, suspended a modified podracer engine from its ceiling as the grill, and employed a former smelter droid, 8D-J8, as pitmaster to turn the spit.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ronto Roasters |url=https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ronto_Roasters |website=Wookieepedia |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref> A ronto, in ''Star Wars'' terms, is a large domesticated beast of burden first seen in Mos Eisley; the joke of the restaurant is a street-food stall selling its namesake animal as a wrap, cooked by racing machinery.<br />
<br />
The Ronto Wrap's reputation quickly outgrew the land. It was widely singled out in opening coverage as the dish to seek out, spawned a large copycat-recipe culture, and was eventually published by Disney itself through D23 as the Batuuan Ronto Wrap from ''The Official Disney Parks Cookbook''.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Recipe from the Delicious Disney Vault: Ronto Roasters' Batuuan Ronto Wrap |url=https://d23.com/a-recipe-from-the-delicious-disney-vault-ronto-roasters-batuuan-ronto-wrap/ |website=D23 |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Setting ==<br />
Ronto Roasters is not an enclosed restaurant but an open market stall, and its setting is the marketplace street of Black Spire Outpost itself. The engine dominates: a full-size podracer engine hangs at the centre of the stand, glowing and venting as if doing the cooking, with meats turning on a spit beneath it under the droid pitmaster's attention. Flags and banners in racing colours, hanging meats and market clutter complete a scene meant to read as a working food stall on a frontier world rather than a themed counter in a theme park.<br />
<br />
Seating is the market's — shaded, outdoor and informal, shared with neighbouring stalls such as the milk stand and the shops of the marketplace. That openness is functional as well as scenic: the smell and sight of the engine and the spit advertise the stand to everyone passing through the land's main market artery, and the queue is designed for the mobile-order, grab-and-go pattern that the wrap format suits.<br />
<br />
== Cuisine ==<br />
The menu is deliberately short. The Ronto Wrap combines roasted pork and a grilled pork sausage with peppercorn sauce and tangy slaw, wrapped in a warm pita.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ronto Roasters Menu |url=https://www.themouseforless.com/disneyland/dining/disneyland-resorts-restaurant-menus/ronto-roasters/ |website=The Mouse For Less |access-date=2026-11-14}}</ref> The construction is gyro-like — sliced roast meat plus a whole sausage in flatbread — with the slaw providing acidity and the peppercorn sauce a creamy heat.<br />
<br />
A breakfast variant, the Ronto Morning Wrap, replaces the filling with scrambled eggs, grilled pork sausage, shredded cheddar and the same peppercorn sauce. A plant-based version, the Ronto-less Garden Wrap, uses plant-based sausage with kimchi slaw, pickled cucumber and a gochujang-style spread. Around those wraps the stand sells small sides and snacks, including seasoned pork rinds and jerky in its early menus, and ''Star Wars''-named drinks such as Meiloorun Juice, a tropical juice blend named for a fruit from the animated series ''Star Wars Rebels''. As at other Galaxy's Edge locations, nothing on the menu uses an everyday name if a Batuuan one will do, and staff and signage keep ordinary soft drinks and bottled water in in-world language.<br />
