DLR Food: Where to eat and where not to!

[Californian Elitist]

Is the Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles open yet, or opening soon? I feel like I first heard about them opening one years ago. Just wondering what the status was.

I love Umami Burger, but haven't been to the Anaheim location yet.

Roscoe's in Anaheim is open.

Roscoe's in Anaheim is open.

Sweet! I'll definitely have to go if I end up going to Star Wars Celebration

For sure! I love Roscoe's.

Thanks for this info! These posts usually show up after I've visited but thankfully I have three weeks. Corn dogs are totally on my list of things to try. Might have to compare the two mentioned and let you know my results.

For what it's worth, we loved our corn dogs from Corn Dog Castle at DCA this past May.

We also LOOOOOVED the broccoli and cheddar soup in a bread bowl from Pacific Wharf Cafe. Nearly ate the plates.

Tomorrowland Terrace: Seriously, avoid this place at all costs. The burgers are gross, the fries aren't that great, and it's just lackluster overall. One can find better food elsewhere.

The place is barren for a reason:

We ate there because we were all starving and in Tomorrowland. It wasn't horrible, but not fantastic either.

I seem to remember going there in 2009 and having breakfast there and it being good. But that was almost 6 years ago.

Village Haus: Village Haus is not as bad as the other two, but it's not worth a visit IMO.

Interesting. I didn't try the DL version, but its WDW counterpart is really very good. Good flatbreads.

River Belle Terrace: Another great option and alternative to burgers and chicken strips.

Didn't get to eat here for lunch, but their breakfast was fantastic.

Flo's V8 Cafe: Really good comfort food and fantastic atmosphere!

We weren't wild about their lunch/dinner choices, but for breakfast? A+

Cocina Cucamonga: Like Rancho, they do not offer truly authentic Mexican food, but the food is pretty tasty.

Oh, my favorite QS place.

Pacific Wharf Cafe: Very tasty soups.

Agreed.

Thanks for this thread, Raven24. I'm planning a trip to Disneyland, and this gives me some great dining ideas.

Village Haus is a sufficient quick service place. The pizza is the same you'd get anywhere in WDW and the burger and fries I had were good.

Some of the special valentines day menus that I mentioned earlier. Some will be available only on Valentines Day while others will be all that weekend.

Think I have to try the Red Velvet funnel cake!

Here's my $.02 from our May 2012 trip:

Loves:
We LOVED Goofy's - we're character meal dorks
French Market was phenomenal
Flo's was great!
Trader Sam's is a must-do
Big Thunder Ranch BBQ - was great - I was iffy about eating outside but it's a lot like Hoop Dee Doo at WDW

OKs:
Carnation Cafe - food was good but atmosphere was meh.
Naples - food was good but EXPENSIVE (even for Disney)
Storytellers - went here for Mother's Day - VERY expensive buffet - food was decent though but the line for the buffet was long


MUST Do's for our October trip:
Blue Bayou
Carthay Circle

Bayou Blue, I ate there on our last trip. Big mistake, I ordered the jambalaya. Being from south Louisiana it was a disappointment and not like any jambalaya I've ever eaten or cooked before.

 

[Travel Junkie]

The Blue Bayou is like eating at an LA hotspot. You pay for the scenery and prestige, not the food.

The key do dinning at any Disney restaurant is if you have had the real thing don't order it.

Just tried the new lunch menu at River Belle Terrace yesterday. Both the Sirloin and Cheddar sandwich with peppers and onions & the Chicken Sandwich with Honey Mustard were really good!

 

[Animaniac93-98]

What are the breakfast hours for River Belle Terrace?

 

[Mukta]

Jolly Holiday is currently one of my favorites. The grilled cheese and tomato soup really hit the spot. There are a lot of great CS places in DL like Pizza Port or Plaza, but the TS places in the hotels are something special.

Like the Chef's Table at Citricos? Check out the Chef's Counter at Napa Rose. Spectacular.

I really like starting the day at Carnation Cafe. The food is typical breakfast fare, but I like watching the people coming down main street and Oscar, if he's working, will probably come to your table to ask how the meal was. That part is a highlight for us.
Trader Sams... Oh the cash I've dropped here. But its worth it, drinks and food both. The chicken wings there are perhaps my favorite ever.
Rancho was surprisingly good and its fun to sit over near BTM.
Skip Blue Bayou.
Corn Dog cart is amazing.
Jolly Holidays Matterhorn macaroons are a huge favorite. They are so so good.
Steakhouse 55 breakfast is possibly the best deal on property. The steak for dinner is also worth it, get the rib eye.
Ralph Brennens is also tasty but we usually get the begneits at the window.
Best quick go to for us is Earl of Sandwich.Love the original!
If you can afford it and book it... NAPA rose chefs table has been the best meal of my year two years in a row.

Love the pics! I have to add, though, line up early at the Cove Bar if you've got to have your lobster nachos!

How are the cinnamon rolls @ Jolly Holiday Bakery? What about adult drinks at Carathay circle just at the bar. Don't want to eat there.

Cinnamon rolls are ok. The drinks at the Carthay Lounge are great, but the Napa Rose lounge (a few steps inside GCH from DCA) is even better.
