Need breakfast and lunch recommendations

[Port Mom]

We are 3 adults visiting Disneyland for one day. We bought hopper passes, and plan to start out in DL early in the morning......go to DCA in the afternoon......and then go back to DL in the evening.

What is your favorite quick service breakfast in DL? We will be arriving at 8:00am, and don't want to spend too much time dining.

What is your favorite quick service lunch in DCA? Again, we don't want to spend too much time dining.

We are set with dinner plans......Blue Bayou.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

WE really enjoyed Flo's in Carsland for a QS lunch. Nothing fancy, but it was nice to sit down for a bit and they had a nice variety.

I loved the croissant breakfast sandwich at Jolly Holiday in DL.

I second Flo's for lunch at DCA. Also, the Cove Bar has a good menu and great views.

I like Market House (Starbucks) or Jolly Holiday if you just want a coffee and pastry for breakfast. If you're looking for something more substantial, I recommend Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante. It features both Mexican-inspired breakfast items along with some of the items that used to be at the RBT (e.g., Mickey Pancakes).

I recently tried the Paradise Garden Grill and liked the beef skewer platter. The adjacent Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta was okay, as was Pacific Wharf Cafe (aka Boudins). I haven't had much luck at the Lucky Fortune Cookery (think airport Chinese food) or Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill (just kind of "meh"). Flo's has been kind of hit-or-miss for my family, but it some folks like it. I do like Carthay Circle Lounge (not quite a TS, but more than a CS), but the line is always long. The Cove Bar sounds really interesting, but the line is also really long there, so I haven't had a chance to dine there.

Truthfully...I'd think about having lunch in DL before you leave. I highly recommend the French Market (NOS), Plaza Inn (MS) or Redd Rockett's (TL, the salads are pretty good).

Starbucks for breakfast and a corn dog for lunch!

Rancho del zocalo since you'll be starting out at DLR.

I like the hamburger place at DCA, formerly known as tasty pilots grill. I don't remember what it is now called but they have a nice condiments bar for greens, etc so you can add some nice fixins for your burger

We love grabbing coffee and beignets from Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen Express at DTD for breakfast. Super yummy and quick. I suggest heading to the pacific wharf area for lunch at DCA. There are several restaurants in that area (we particularly enjoy Pacific Wharf Cafe) with plenty of tables.

For lunch, I like The Golden Horseshoe for its atmosphere (show) and their Crispy chicken salad is delicious, filling and light.

If you need a pause off your feet later in the afternoon hit up one of these at Golden Vine Winery area: Alfresco Tasting Terrace or Sonoma Terrace. Grab a glass of wine or beer and take a break from the crowds, you sound like you've got a packed day and night!

I'm not a huge fan of quick service, but with those guidelines I'd have to say Jolly Holiday for breakfast & Taste Pilot's Grill for lunch.

One of my favorite meals last trip was boardwalk pizza & pasta.

I think I read in another thread that Taste Pilot's Grill is now called Smokejumpers.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I usually don't want quick service, but since we only have one day to see as much as we can, I don't want to waste it dining.......except for dinner.
Any other suggestions?

What time is your BB res? If it's earlier rather than later, you may just want more of a brunch (not two meals) so you're good and hungry to enjoy your dinner...
