Oh man. Paradise Grill...I'm drooling just thinking about it
I agree with FlyingBelle! Not everything is amazing, but I like many of the things she mentioned. I agree that if you go to Tomorrowland Terrace or something for a generic burger, you'll be disappointed,
Ate at
River Belle Terrace. Dry & bland. Poor selection. Roast beef sandwich
Flo's V 8. Ok. Dd wasn't liking the food. Pork and mashed potatoes. Best part was the roll.
Cocina Cucamonga Mexican grill. Very bland and dry. Some sort of quesadilla and rice.
Taste pilots grill. Ok. Shared a burger & loaded fries with Dh
Best meal was at Downtown Disney La Brea Bakery. Excellent Caesar salad and panini. Very good. I made dinner ressies there only because we spent so much time at lunch looking for something decent. We walked to the restaraunts & looked at menus & even what people were getting at Hungry Bear, Pinocchio's, Bengal BBQ, Tomorrowland Terrace (def WDW is better), Golden Horseshoe, Stage door cafe. Walked to Plaza inn but it was only 11 & the less-than-nice woman yelled from maybe 10 ft away "Not open come back at 12!"
It is as if one truck drops off food & they just divide it between the restaurants. Same old & blah. Even the table service ones are like "that's it?".
I NEVER get a burger at DL, WDW, or DCL... I have yet to have a good burger at any of them!!!
I think you kinda hit a bad run of choices. Everyone I've taken to Hungry Bear has loved it.
I honestly won't go down to the Wharf on DCA because it seems like a glorified food court and I know Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta and Paradise Garden Grill are awesome.
We had pretty mixed results at the Hungry Bear, enough so that it's not on our list for our next trip. Mostly the food was not very fresh (though when it was fresh, it was quite good). We are curious about the new menu (fried green tomato sandwich!), but are wary due to previous tepid meals.
Ahh...I've only have been doing Hungry Bear since the new menu, and I've had 3 great experiences with large groups all of which chimed in and said it was a very good lunch choice. And my girlfriend can not make a Disney visit without getting the Bumblebee Cupcake.
I prefer Disneyland by far over WDW...but I have to agree with you on the food. I would not say it all "sucks" but the good choices are few and far between.
