My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

I didn't take pictures, but here goes:

We had an 11:30 PS and got in line to check in about 11:15 (second in line). We were seated at a waterside table, but I heard a host tell a guest who was late checking in that not all 11:30 seatings are guaranteed waterside (just nearby). We did sit next to a 6 top waterside table, I saw that question asked on another thread if any were there.

The only hot drinks offered at BB are tea or coffee (no hot chocolate). DH and I both had the gumbo (it rained all day that day), which was good. It was a little thick for my taste, but the sausage had some spice to it. I had the salmon and DH had the jambalaya. I was pleasantly suprised that both dishes were pretty good. My DS had the kid's salmon with buttered noodles and my DH had the chicken with pasta and marinara sauce. Both kids enjoyed their food, but they were also really excited to be there and didn't eat as much as usual. They move people through the restaurant at a pretty good pace. We were much more leisurely since it was raining and we were in no hurry to get back out there. We also wanted to really enjoy the experience. I did hear several families around us say, "we only have x amount of time to eat and then we need to get back out there!" If you're paying that much, why rush?

The only two desserts being offered right now are the creme brule and the celebration cake that we also saw at the French Market. I had showed my DS a cookie boat picture months ago and he chose this moment to remember and ask where it was. It was disappointing that it wasn't offered, but we still had an enjoyable meal. DH and I had both wanted to eat there for years and I'm so glad we did. Now I have to figure out which place we'll try on our next visit.

Didn't want my favorite thread to be buried on page 10...

We tried River Belle Terrace yesterday for the first time since their remodel. It was empty and the sandwiches were quite good.

Mississippi Turkey Breast

Tennessee BBQ Pork

and a Dole whip for a snack later on in the day

RBT is my favorite place to eat in DLR. The BbQ pulled pork is a must have every trip and Dbf loves the Roast Beef sandwich. It is a nice alternative to Burgers and fries!!

It's been go go go since we got back 3 days ago. I still need to get my pics into photobucket so I can post them here, but a quick FYI... Blue Bayou has cancelled the appetizers! They have sort of incorporated them into meals instead, as in you can order crabcakes as a full entree (3 of them) which is just too much.... I counted on having them as an appy... in fact hubby's and my plan were to order the crab cakes and shrimp remoulade for appys and share, split a plate of the roasted strip loin, then have the creme brullee. Because they had no appy's and I really wanted crab cakes I ordered them as an entree. It's just too much to have a full meal of them.... I could only manage to eat 2 making myself feel ill in the process and of course the other one went in the garbage because packing a crab cake around for even a short while in the park before eating it is looking for food poisoning. We asked why, and he said it was because only about 50% of customers ordered appys'....???? what??? Oh and he said "you now have soup or salad with your meal, so that's an appy and it's included in the meal price!" like it was a new thing...didn't bother to tell him we knew it always was....I personally think it was because too many people were coming in and having just appy's and desert taking up valuable table space where more money could be earned with full entrees. While hubby's roasted strip loin was amazing and so worth the money, my crab cakes were not. The gumbo is of course to die for and because you can't get it anywhere else (it's not the same anywere else I asked everywhere!) they'll probably keep us coming back for those and the creme brulee and the atmosphere, but we were planning on eating there twice and only did once.
So if you were planning on the appy/desert thing to try experience the atmosphere with less cost, it's not possible any longer.
Of course the endless mint juleps are a real plus!!! lol.... hubby forgot and tried to order a "real" drink... They have got to change that one of these days!!!

Yay that sounds wonderful. I am trying to plan out where we are eating and all the posts on here help.

Here are a few pictures from our trip last week:

Cafe Orleans:
I decided to try the mint Julep that seems to get lots of mixed reviews. I really liked it until our food came, and then the mint flavor didn't really seem to go very well with the other food flavors. I would get this again if I just wanted a drink, but not with a meal.

This is the Chicken Gumbo Crepe. I thought it was really good.

Troubadour Tavern:
For lunch one day we decided to try out the baked potatoes. My MIL got the broccoli cheese, FIL and DH got the bacon and sour cream, and I got the BBQ chicken. We all thought they were good and a filling lunch. MIL did say that the cheese was a little spicy (like nacho cheese), which she wasn't expecting.

Red Rocket's Pizza Port:
I thought the pizza here was nasty (bland) but my 3 year old liked it. Maybe that is the point. The adults in the group all got the Asian Chicken Salad, and it was really delicious, and big!

Carnation Cafe:
DH got the chicken pot pie. He said it was good, but needed a lot more salt. I tried it before he salted it, and thought it was fine, so I guess it is a matter of taste.

I got the Chicken Croissant Club, and thought it was very tasty.

I also got a cup of the Loaded Baked Potato Soup. I love this stuff!

 

[wvnative]

Looks like we need to add Troubador Tavern to our list of options. YUM!

I completely agree about the pizza at Pizza Port. Even the teenagers don't really care for it. lol
