When we went to Blue Bayou several years ago, likely closer to when you went but maybe more like 2017, and I remember none of us loving our food. Plus, they brought my husband a nearly raw pork chop. It's so dark in there that we couldn't easily see that it was undercooked and he took a few bites before feeling definitively that it was off. He had to send it back.

Our family loves Alien Pizza Planet and Rancho del Zocalo for value and great menu options. Fountain drinks are refillable at Alien Pizza Planet and the chicken fusilli and a Caesar salad makes a great meal for two people to share. Our kids love the nostalgia of our many meals here. 🍕 Rancho del Zocalo has great options for families as well, although they don’t offer mobile ordering if you’re really trying to maximize your time in the parks. We’ve actually really enjoyed The Hungry Bear, especially their seasonal funnel cakes and BBQ burgers. 🍔 And, there’s tons of seating here. These three restaurants all offer gluten-free options, so if you’re looking for good food, lots of options and value for families, these are the restaurants I’d recommend.

Definitely different tastes then. As Blue Bayou would be down there at 22 or 21 if not for the atmosphere. The chicken tenders I had at Golden Horseshoe were quite possibly some of the worst food I’ve had in the whole park. Could have been a bad day? Maybe. But any of their “basic theme park food”: hotdogs, burgers, chicken tenders, is pretty awful to me. The best burger is at the Craftsman Grill.

The best thing you can do is download the Disneyland app, navigate to the map part of the app, switch it from Attractions to Dining and then click on the different restaurants around the park and view their menus. About 75% of the food locations have gluten free and tree nut free menus. Jolly Holiday alone has 9 items that qualify. You will need to order standby instead of using mobile order so that you can request both gluten-free and tree nut-free.

I don’t know I went to the blue Bayou on December 30 and I got the filet mignon Oscar style with the crab meat on top and it was incredibly delicious. I think people are just complaining because it’s expensive but food should not be ranked based on the price should be rent based on taste. Also, your opinion differs greatly on the plaza. It really is a good restaurant. The pot roast is amazing. The fried chicken is great. The portion sizes are huge I feel like again it’s just falling victim to complaining about prices. I would actually prefer at the Plaza in Café Orleans.
@SoCalDisneyDad
@SoCalDisneyDad 4 ай бұрын
Definitely has nothing to do with price for me. My favorite restaurant, Docking Bay 7, is the priciest of the quick services and it didn’t affect my ranking. Bengal BBQ is also rather expensive because you need like 3-4 skewers to make a decent meal so that one is $19+ for one person. The Filet wasn’t on the menu when I went, but the only thing they seem to do right are the beef cuts. Not from experience as I haven’t ordered them, but just what other people have said. We ordered 3-4 different items from the menu and it was either terrible quality or too small of a portion. And the beef I ordered at Cafe Orleans was superior to the Plaza Inn Fried Chicken in every way. Every one has different tastes. If you enjoy those places, that’s perfectly fine. I just ask that you not act like my opinions aren’t valid because we had different experiences.

I consider that to be more of a snack location than an actual quick service restaurant. I understand you could make a meal out of bao and lumpia, but that was the criteria I used last year, and I did not add any additional food locations except Cafe Daisy since it IS a new quick service since last year. This kept the rankings the most similar and gave a truer rankings movement (up or down) to see how my opinions changed from trying new things. I did highly consider adding it and Maurice’s at least into the mix, but ultimately decided against it.

They’re decent. I like the spicy corn dog over at DCA better. But you can get corn dogs anywhere. My opinion about Disney food is to NOT eat burgers, hotdogs, chicken tenders, corn dogs, pizza, etc.

@@SoCalDisneyDad I have a random question for you since you seem very familiar with the parks. Do you know if Boba Fett and Fennec Shand still come out in Galaxy's Edge? I'm going in April, and I would love to see them

Blue Bayou was terrible this year. Waste of $300 on our visit.

Part of it is definitely the price. When I pay that much money for a single dish I expect fine dining. But it’s like you’re paying a premium for the view, and the food is just the same as any quick service. And that’s a huge let down.

I intentionally left it off because it's a not a meal location, but rather a snack location. I left off several snack locations.

@@glen7567 Those places all sell full meals and are available via mobile order. All Tropical Hideaway has is dole whip, lumpia, and bao, which are all available a la carte. The closest place listed with a case against it is Little Red Wagon, but the corn dog does come with sides, so it’s a meal.

Everyone has different tastes (and opinions). I am curious, though, what you would rank in the top 3 spots?

My dude….I can understand not liking the food at stage coach or but it is better than Pizza Planet if every conceivable way. But to say Stage Coach, which architecturally is one of the most perfectly themed and beautifully sculpted restaurants at any Disney park is blasphemous. And I won’t stand for it. I mean come on man. A saloon themed restaurant complete with two levels and a pianist could not be any more perfect for Frontierland.

I didn’t say it wasn’t perfect for Frontierland. It absolutely is. Just not my favorite theming overall. But the review is definitely based on the food. Alien Pizza Planet pasta is legitimately decent. It’s middle of the road. Sure. Ranked 11 out of 23 is pretty middle of the road. Their pizza? Terrible. I did say if it were based on the pizza alone it would be duking it out for the bottom spot.

No disrespect, as I know taste is subjective but take this review with a grain of salt. Seems his favorites slide more toward a child’s palette.

No offense taken! Most of the kids food is at the bottom of my list (chicken tenders, pizza, corn dogs, nuggets, burgers). I know I said a grilled cheese sandwich was near the top of my list, but the real winner isn’t the sandwich, it’s the soup. And I legitimately did not think it could be all that great. It’s just a grilled cheese and tomato soup, right? But it was surprising. Bengal BBQ skewers are spicy, way too much for my kids, and packed with flavor. So even those are literally just meat on a stick, it’s so much better than it sounds.
