Whats Your Favorite Place to Eat at DL?

[sandgrace]

We're heading to DL in early July, and we'd like to do one nice dinner. It will be my husband, myself, our 2 year old daughter, our 18 yo daughter her boyfriend, and my 20 yo nephew.

Don't want to do Goofy's Kitchen, because we did that last time, my 2 yo didn't like the characters close-up so Goofy's was a waste since she got upset every time the characters got too close.

Well althought I would have said the Blue Bayou because my last experience wasnt too bad, my vote no longer goes there. I went last tuesday for lunch and I found a LONG BLACK HAIR (im blondish) in my meal, and there was no appology, no new meal brought and no money taken off our bill, the meal was cold and the service terrible. It we got our meal before our drinks and we had to ask for the bread.

But since I love that area my vote would go to Cafe Orleans if you can sit outside and enjoy a wonderful monte cristo

Or the Wine Country Trattoria mmmmm delicious

We were really considering Blue Bayou, but, yuck! A hair that's bad!! :scared:

Yeah I really dont want to complain as others love the Blue Bayou, but I just think that theres obviously a lack of hygenics if thats the case.

I was not impressed with Blue Bayou either. What about somewhere in DTD? Rainforest Cafe and Ralph Brennan's are both highly rated by other dissers. If you are wanting to stay in the park, then the only other table service restaurant for dinner is Cafe Orleans.

Maybe this link will help you out a bit

Great link! Thanks! :thumbsup2

It's really a shame about the Blue Bayou though. We count on Disney for better than that. Especially, for the price BB charges for meals. I'd seriously write Disney a letter about your bad experience, and see what they would do for you.

[mystic_path]

Ive been thinking about it and only because like your said for our meals it was over $100 :confused3

[Leggyb]

Oh my gosh! Please write Disney a letter.. that just gives me chills...

We really like the Taste Pilots Grill in DCA. It has pretty good burgers and an excellent, fresh condoment bar.

For in the Dland, I would suggest Cafe Orleans. :thumbsup2

For DCA, I would suggest Wine Country Trattoria. :thumbsup2

For DTD, I would suggest Jazz Kitchen (they have a great kids menu!)or ESPN Zone (also, decent kids menu), or even Naples.

Personally I don't like Rainforest Cafe with little children. My DD freaked out when she was about 2yo when the rain and the animals started going off. It was a miserable time and the food was awful. JMO.

HTH!

We really like both Rancho del Zocalo in Frontierland, as well as Redd Rockett's Pizza Port in Tomorrowland. Our picky 3yo eats really well at the latter.

[tinkerbelt]

Whitewater Snacks at the Grand Californian! Good food, good service, free refills on drinks, and it's never crowded!

How big are the pizza slices at Pizza Port? I see they're $5 a slice so I imagine they're a pretty good size. Also is it like a thin style crust or more like a thick pan style crust?

[Robert and Kelley]

Well I was going to vote for Blue Bayou..but ESPN Zone is my new vote. We went in December during football games and had the best time!

They are big! I generally ask them to cut the piece in half, its so big its hard to pick up, esp. for my dd. It comes out on this wedge shaped plate. And its always been a thick crust style when I have gotten pizza there. For my family of four, we generally get one slice of pizza, one order of pasta and a kids meal. And can't usually finish it all. Although this year, my son is 12 and he eats a lot so our plan may change a bit!

We like the Hungry Bear in Disneyland. My favorite in DCA is the place that has the bread bowls and yummy chicken apple salad, its in the pier area, can't remember the name of it, to lazy to look it up right now. It's right across from where you can get a magaritta, which was also yummy!

Thanks for the info, btw do you know if the pizza place in DCA sells the same kind of pizza since the price is the same.

:thumbsup2 Pacific Wharf Cafe, I looked it up. YUM!!!

[spazzyjazzy]

We love Pizza Port, Riverbelle Terrace and I know there are many negative reviews about the Tomorrowland Terrace but, we love it. We have always had good service and good food from there.

[super_star]

Not a big fan of the Blue Bayou. I like the Plaza Inn on Main st. The fried chicken and the mash potatoes are delicious. And for dessert try the strawberry shortcake it's my favorite. :love:

[hookem81]

I really like the French Market - I would go there to eat if it was just a restaurant in my area - I like it that much. My other favorite is Rancho Del Zocalo. The kids like both of those as well.

[jabbertrack]

I can tell you where I can't go back to eat is the Wharf in CA

All my father and I wanted was a couple of nice cold (expensive) beers... he was having trouble with his ankle so he sat down and started to eat. I went to get the beers but of course it's "1 per customer"... I figured fine... it's Disneyland... and since the woman in front of me just picked up 2 there shouldn't be a problem.

WRONG

The guy serving picked me to fight with for some reason. He was arguing with me trying to get my father to come over and I told him to give him a break especially because he's not holding everyone to the policy... that's when it got ugly.

He tried to give me some line and at that point I said "fine... give me the 1 beer" and he said something like "I can choose not to serve you at all if I want!". I told him he'd better brush up on his customer service skills and the dude KEPT AT ME about the policy and how it was OK that he broke it for the woman because she had already been through with some guy...

To make matters WORSE he gave me even more lip after I came back from giving my father HIS beer to get my own.

Normally I would have taken this punk to task but I was in DISNEYLAND and I figured my best bet to calm down right away was to just chill.

Funny that ever since then that one sour moment at Disneyland sticks out in my mind

... at any rate... sorry for the rant :) Especially for post #1... but my favorite place to eat is Tomorrowland Terrace during a show :)

Sorry, I have never eaten at the pizza place in DCA! I think that and the McDonalds are the only two places I have not eaten at inside the parks. I almost always go to Taste Pilots or Award Wieners when I'm over at DCA.

Sit Down: Blue Bayou in DL and the Vineyard Room in DCA

Quick Service: Corndog cart on main street

Snacks: Anywhere I can get a big soft pretzel followed by a Mickey ice cream sandwich.

Pizza port is easily the most convenient (we're always running around looking for something quick and when we went there wasn't much of a crowd) and the food is really good!
