Good eats at DCA?

[michellelars]

I have reservations at DL for BTBBQ, GK, and Cafe Orleans. Plaza Inn was all booked up because I waited too long. I'm trying to plan our DCA day, what are some good places to eat there? Quick service or sit down. We will have a 1-year-old, so I would rather not eat anywhere too fancy! Thanks

Our favorite table service restaurant in DCA in Wine Country Trattoria.

Although its technically not in DCA, but I highly recommend Whitewater Snacks in the GC. If you go through the GC exit over by Grizzly River Run and take a left, its right there. They have burgers, hot dogs, personal pizzas, and some of the best nachos. The best thing about this place is that it is hardly ever busy in there and its usually nice and quiet. We like to go there just to get away from the crowds for a bit. With having a 1 year old, that might be a good option.

I agree. We loved this location, and nachos are super good. I also really enjoyed the chicken pasta dish at Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta. Flo's V8 café is another family favorite for comfort food at a great location.

Also, so you know, if you still wanted to eat at Plaza Inn, you could eat lunch or dinner there without reservations. People love the fried chicken here.

Flo's in Carsland is good. I like Paradise Garden Grill....Mediterranean type skewers, etc......tasty!

Plaza Inn only takes reservations for the breakfast character meal. The rest of the day, it's counter service, so no reservations are necessary.

That said, I've enjoyed my meals at Paradise Garden Grill (chicken skewers with sauces in the side) and Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta (sundried tomato pasta).

Our favorite is Paradise Garden Grill all the way in the back of the park. We love the skewers with the different sauces, rice, and cucumber salad on the side. It's very delicious. There is pasta and pizza in the same area in case the baby likes that better.

The best CS food I've eaten at DCA would have to be at Paradise Garden Grill. It's on my "must eats" when we go back next year.

I've not tried any TS meals there sorry so no opinions there.

If you are willing to go to DTD The Rainforest Cafe is really good. I'm not sure if it would scare a baby though. They have thunder & lightening a bit & some of the animals come to life. It's really an awesome place if your baby is okay with that kinda stuff.

Are you sure about Plaza Inn? Restaurants at DLR are rarely NOT available. Plaza Inn is counter service for lunch and dinner. Only Minnie's Character Breakfast takes ADR's.

Flo's in Carsland is pretty good. I also like the chilly dog place in Hollywood land in California Adventures. Whitewater snacks in GC is really good too.

Cove Bar! Delicious appetizers and has water view seating. My favorite, lobster nachos! Yum!

Agree with PPs - Paradise Garden Grill and Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta, just past Goofy's Sky School.

Something for everyone at the 2 QS restaurants, my mom got a salad, I got a gluten free pizza, my kid got a kid-sided pepperoni pizza and my wife got some delicious chicken skewers with rice.

The seating area is all outdoors, about 90% of which is covered by trees or awnings, and when we went in August there was a reggae band playing at the small stage in the middle! Very nice ambiance.

And White Water Snacks is great! BEST grilled cheese and french fries on property and that's pretty much all our DS10 likes to eat! We have already planned on making that our first meal when we come back in October!!

I second Pacific wharf. When they have turkey pot pie it is awesome.
