What's your favorite place to eat at Disneyland?

1. Cafe Orleans, Pomme Frites and Gumbo
2. Tiki Juice Bar, Dole Whip Float
3. Stage Door Cafe, Corndog and fires
4. Pacific Wharf Cafe in DCA, but only when they have the turkey pot pie!
5. Ghirardelli in DCA, Root beer float
 

Table service: Blue Bayou; used the get the crab cakes for dinner, but since that's off the menu now I like to have a late breakfast/early lunch of the Monte Cristo right when the restaurant opens :thumbsup2

Counter service: Jolly Holiday (love their tomato basil soup + grilled cheese combo) & Hungry Bear (chili burger with giant onion rings! fried green tomato sandwich!)
 
Corn dog, no chips from the corn dog cart.
Anything from Bengal Barbeque, but especially the veggie skewer.
 
Fave's of my family are:

Table Service:
-BTRBBQ- in Frontierland. (all you can eat, but the sausage and cornbread :) )

Counter Service:
-Bengal BBQ in Adventureland (any skewer!)
-Harbour Galley in Critter Country (broc and cheese soup in bread bowl)
Ghiradelli in Pacific Wharf (anything!)
-Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta in Paradise Pier (any pasta dish!)

Snacks:
-candy apples....cute and yummy
-dole whips
-churros

Great, now I am hungry!!!
 
Cafe Orleans - monte cristo and pomme frites - we always share, as the sandwich is a bit rich but so good.

Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta in Paradise Pier in DCA - we like pretty much all of their pastas and the price is very reasonable.
 
Breakfast at River Belle Terrace, seated outside overlooking the Rivers of America. Great people watching there in the morning before the whole area gets clogged up with Fantasmic squatters/blankets.

One of the last places (if not the last?) to get the traditional Mickey Mouse pancake, too!
 
My favorite places to eat for either table service or quick service at Disneyland, DCA and DTD area are in no particular order;

Blue Bayou (DLR)
Cozy Cone Motel (DCA)
Jazz Kitchen (DTD)
Storytellers Cafe (Grand California Hotel)
Royal Street Veranda (DLR)
Naples Ristorante (DTD)
 
Blue Bayou*, but trying a bunch of new places this year, so we'll see if I have a new favorite!

*in all fairness, I think I've only ever had the monte cristo, which despite mixed reviews, I think is absolutely fantastic, especially if you like richness and sweetness in almost anything. Don't even try to eat a full one though. But the combo of my favorite dish and the best atmosphere in the park makes this one tough to beat.
 
Chicken fussili at Pizza Port
Broccoli cheese soup at Pacific Wharf
Fried chicken at Plaza Inn
Breakfast platter at Tomorrowland Terrace

Churros
Ice cream at Gibson girl (or anywhere)
 
I think mine is the monte cristo (big enough to share!) and pommes fritas at Cafe Orleans.

My husband's is dinner at Big Thunder Mountain BBQ (dinner has the sausage and beans that lunch doesn't have)
 
I'm certainly no expert, and I've only been there for 4 days just recently. But my favorite is most definitely Big Thunder Ranch BBQ!!! The ribs are the best Disney ribs outside of Port Orleans French Quarter resort in FL. The chicken super tasty. And to top it off, the corn bread with honey butter is awesome. I wish I could just order a side of that for a snack during the day.
 
I always like this question because it helps to remind me what I love to eat and where I have yet to try. :goodvibes

At DLR we enjoy (most of these are repeats)-
Blue Bayou (we usually go at dinner for the surf and turf)
Bengal BBQ (any of the skewers)
Plaza Inn (Fried Chicken)
Hungry Bear (Fried Green Tomato Sandwich w/Sweet Potato Fries)
Rancho Del Zocalo (Mexican)
Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor
Big Thunder BBQ

We also like Flo's V8 in DCA for breakfast and Ralph Brennann's in DTD (had lunch there once)

way too many places left to try.
