My Disneyland dining reviews, with pictures

[RweTHEREyet]

Was this tasty? How were the lobster nachos? Is that place inside the DCA?

We had the lobster nachos on our trip last October, and they were absolutely delicious, as was the white sangria. That made a fantastic lunch on our last day there.

To answer a question about the pretzel bread, the bread at WDW is not a sandwich type bread, it is more of a very nice-sized bread stick that is great for dunking in to the incredible Cheddar cheese soup at La Cellier.

I haven't eaten the pretzel bread at Carnation Cafe, but will definitely give it a try on my next trip. If the flavor is the same as WDW, it will be delicious, I know.

I just saw the picture of the ice cream sundae served with a pin...is that still around? And still $10.95? My DH and I have been trading pins at WDW for years and look forward to trading at DL this summer with our DD. We'll definitely get this as our afternoon snack if it's still around.

That's at the Disney Soda Fountain in Hollywood (about 30-45 minutes away from Disneyland)

Hey guys, I don't have a pic but I got a cupcake from that little shack in DTD it was red vevet and honestly I would not recommend it, I honestly nearly up chucked, it was disgusting.( I swear I'm not over exaggerating) I hope the other cupcakes aren't as that repulsive, I have had red velvet in the park and they were a bit more decent then those, I don't know, to me I cant find a good red velvet at DLR

Marceline's Confectionery: got an Oreo brownie. Ehh. Not moist enough and no brownie flavor. Not as good as the Ghiradelli ones from a mix.

We got an Oreo brownie our first night last week, based on the worker's recommendation for which one would be more gooey/fudgy (vs the triple chocolate). The Oreo was dry and not worth it. So we switched to the triple chocolate brownie for the rest of the trip (probably bought close to 10 of them amongst 4 of our party) and couldn't have been happier - nice and soft/fudgy inside.

So the triple chocolate is where it's at for brownies!!

Now I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but I have been looking for the last hour or so and can't find these pictures that I meant to post. I was lucky enough to go to Club 33 for my birthday last year. Here are some shots of the buffet.

Thought I'd share some of the pics from meals I had during my 8 day trip to DL in early March.

This is from Ariel's Grotto World of Color Dining Package.

You're started with a basket of fresh, warm bread with 3 sauces.

Our 4 person group went with the Cured Meats & Shellfish Antipasti, which consisted of: Proscuitto, chirizo, olives, tomatoes, cheese, wasabi vinigrette on clams & shrimp & a garden salad.

We had 2 different entrees........Santa Maria Tri-tip & Fillet of Redfish.

The dessert course has: Chocolate Molten Lava Cake, Tiramusi Chocolate Cups, Passion Fruit, Green Apple Mousse, Macaroons, Chocolate Ganache Triangles, Mixed berries & White Chocolate Filmstrip.

The meal was very good & filling. Everything tasted fresh & no complaints were heard from our table. The service was good & I felt the $39.99 per person was well worth it for a great meal & fantastic viewing area for the WoC show.

We did the Carnation Cafe for breakfast. The entrees at our table was Oscar's Choice & the Cinnamon Roll French Toast.

This is one of my favorite breakfast places, sitting in the middle of Main Street.....this is an outside cafe with red & white umbrellas over the tables. You can sit & people watch as you enjoy a very well cooked breakfast. If you go during the week, you might even get to meet Chef Oscar himself. He's a wonderful man who loves to share his kitchen secrets with you!!

Our large group had lunch at the Celebration BBQ. This is an all-you-can-eat meal with BBQ Chicken & Ribs, Baked Beans, Coleslaw & Cornbread Muffins. If you do the dinner you also get Smoked Sausage & Corn on the Cob wheels.

As soon as you start running low on something, they'll fill it back up for you. No need to leave this meal hungry!!

They also offer up some tasty desserts. This is the family-size Chocolate Chip Cookie Bake with Vanilla Ice Cream & Hot Fudge.

These are a couple of the individual desserts of Strawberry Shortcake & Apple Crisp.

The meal does not include drinks, but for $2.99 you can have your choice of soda or iced tea that will be filled up through out the meal.

This is a very finger licking tasty meal with entertainment of singing, guitar playing & piano playing. Miss Chris is your hostess who will sing & also get the audience participating.

We notice a lot of talk about Mimi's Restaurant on the Dis, but no one seems to talk about Millie's Restaurant right next door. The last 2 trips, we have had dinner here & really thought it was good. Millie's sits in front of the Fairfield Inn on Harbor Blvd sitting between Mimi's & McDonald's. We have never had an issue getting in & seated & the service has always been very good.

This trip my husband & I had the Fish-n-Chips & the Quesadilla Burger.

The fish was flavorful & flaky & my husband's burger was HUGE!! He couldn't eat all of it & he has a good appetite.

Just wanted people to know that there are options out on Harbor to get a good meal & good service at a decent price!!

My husband & I did the Surf's Up with Mickey breakfast held at the PCH Grill in the Paradise Pier Hotel. This is the only character meal that Mickey appears at. This is a fun, smaller character meal with Mickey & usually Stitch. We have also seen Minnie, Goofy, Max & Pluto. They have a buffet with favorites & also things like peanut-butter & chocolate french toast, flat bread breakfast pizza & a mexican egg/tortilla dish to name a few.

This has become our favorite character meal!! We love the different choices on the buffet, we love the service & the character interaction is really good here......with less people, you get more time with the characters & sometimes you get multiple visits from them. They also get up & dance with the kids, teach the kids to surf & hula hoop, etc. A real fun meal!!

Are you looking for a taste of New Orlean's? Then head into DTD & go to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen.

We started with 2 appetizers, the Soup 1-1-1 which was French Onion Soup, Gumbo Ya-Ya & the Chef's Creation & the Louisiana Crab Cake.

Both appetizers were really good & I would have been happy with just those items as my dinner!!

Our entrees were the Royal Street Chicken & the nightly special of Jazz Kitchen Jambalaya.

The jambalaya came out in a large bowl.....the picture might not give it justice......but it was a huge serving!! I could have easily fed my family with the serving they gave me. My husband loved his chicken & sweet potatoes & the jambalaya was good with the andouille sausage.

For dessert, since we were celebrating our anniversary, we went with the Banana's Foster which is prepared tableside!!

As I was snapping pictures, our waiter advised me to move back....way back to capture the flame when the rum was added......look at this!!!!

Finishing it up & the delicious, scrumptous dessert!!

Highly recommend this restaurant for it's cajun, New Orlean's inspired food, and for the atmosphere & service. If you get a chance to experience the Banana's Foster.....you won't be sorry!

PCH Grill at the Paradise Pier Hotel offers a wonderful selection of dinner favorites. We have dinner here every trip. We shared the appetizer of cheesy/bacon fries & then shared the Fish-n-Chips entree. I always get the fish at this restaurant.....it's so good, hot, crispy & delicious. The food here is inspired by California cuisine. Great service, good prices & worth the walk if you're not staying at this hotel.

This was a split dinner.......plenty of food.....can't even imagine trying to eat the entire entree alone!

Before we left that evening.....a birthday party was being set up & they wheeled out this cake.....I asked permission to take a picture of it.......HOW CUTE IS THIS????

 

[DizNee Luver]

Ok, last one........

How about some Gibson Girl Ice Cream??

After many trips to Disneyland, I finally experienced my first Gibson Girl sundae!!! The Chocolate Chip Cookie Hot Fudge Sundae!!! Oh my goodness..... pure heaven in a bowl!!!

I now understand the long line we see everytime we pass by........time for a FP machine!!!

i love all your great reviews DizNee Lover. your pictures are making my mouth water

 

[PoohNFriends]

Diznee Luver, can I have 2nds!?!

Wish there wasn't just 2 of us planning of going to Celebration Roundup because I really want some of that cookie dessert, but I know our bellies will be too full of BBQ to even try to share it! At least I think we could manage that cookie sundae from Gibson Girl!

Whoa, look at that flame on your bananas foster! Please tell me it was as good as it looks and worth the $$ spent on it? Also don't think we could do a full dinner and that dessert - do you (or anyone else) know if just some apps (at least 2) and desssert are ok there or is that frowned upon. The other option would be an app + a shared dinner or a dinner for each of us, but I know all 3 courses will not fit in our bellies comfortably!

The banana's foster ($17) was fantastic!!! My favorite dessert is ice cream with caramel & bananas.....so this was right up my alley!!

We finished our apps, but I didn't eat much of the entree......we knew we were doing the dessert.....so I made sure to leave room for it. I imagine you could do a couple apps & then dessert.........you'd still be spending money with them. Next time I go, I'd order an app & no entree.....the app would plenty for me.......sure hope they'd let me do that!

Me and my daughter ate at the Hungry Bear for lunch this last friday. Enjoyed if very much. We shared the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with the zesty slaw, ordered a side of sweet potato fries, Lemon “Bumblebee” Cupcake, and the Blueberry Pie.
we both loved the sandwich, my DD stated best sandwich she ever ate (wanted another one later on) the zesty slaw was good I enjoyed the sweet potato fries but DD liked the zesty slaw better. She said "we make these fries at home" We each ate half the desserts both were good but enjoyed the meal more.

We will definately eat there again. Next time we go we want to try the onion rings with the meal They looked so yummy.

We ate there around 11:30 it wasn't very crowded. There were lots of seats upstairs but we ate downstairs (We always like sitting by the water) there were lots of families sitting down there eating there lunches from home. This one of our favorite places to sit and eat our snacks from home. When we left it still didn't seem to crowded.

Tisha being silly before we try the blueberry pie.
