Disneyland Resort Dining Guide

Widely considered the best fried chicken at any Disney park. Crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned, served with mashed potatoes and a biscuit. It has a cult following among Disneyland regulars for good reason.

Old-fashioned ice cream sundaes and hand-scooped cones right on Main Street. The hot fudge sundae is classic, and seasonal flavors rotate regularly. A perfect way to end the night before the fireworks.

The iconic pineapple soft serve that's been synonymous with Disneyland since the 1980s. Dairy-free, refreshing, and available as swirls (mango, strawberry) or floats with pineapple juice. The Chile-Mango version with chamoy and chile-lime seasoning is the adventurous upgrade.

Grilled-to-order meat and veggie skewers right in the heart of Adventureland. The Banyan Beef Skewer and bacon-wrapped asparagus Safari Skewer are fan favorites, and the Pork Belly Skewer is a standout.

A deep-fried sandwich stuffed with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese, dusted with powdered sugar and served with berry preserves. The sweet-savory combination is unlike anything at other parks. A three-cheese vegetarian version is also available.

Crispy, pillowy beignets dusted in powdered sugar, paired with a sweet non-alcoholic mint julep. Straight out of the French Quarter, these are served hot and fresh. The combo is a Disneyland tradition.

Dining inside Pirates of the Caribbean, overlooking the bayou with fireflies and starlight overhead. The atmosphere alone makes this one of the most memorable meals at any Disney park. The Jambalaya, Filet Mignon, and New Orleans-style dishes hold up. You're here for the setting, and it delivers.

New Orleans-inspired cuisine in the newest sit-down restaurant at Disneyland, themed after The Princess and the Frog. The Shrimp and Grits and Jambalaya are standouts, and the beignets for dessert seal the deal. Beautiful interior with touches from the film throughout.

Sliced corn on the cob, fried and seasoned - a surprise hit from the restaurant's recent overhaul. Served alongside solid BBQ sandwiches and beer-battered fries in a shaded spot on the Rivers of America.

Slow-smoked brisket piled on a brioche bun with slaw and pickles. The BBQ here is legitimate - not just theme park BBQ by default. Comes with your choice of sides.

A coconut macaroon dipped in white chocolate, shaped like the Matterhorn. Chewy, sweet, and one of the most recognizable snacks in the park. The bakery also does solid sandwiches and seasonal pastries.

Disneyland's hand-dipped corn dogs are a cult classic. Thick, crispy batter around a quality hot dog, made fresh to order. The Little Red Wagon on Main Street is the original spot, but Stage Door Cafe near Fantasyland often has shorter lines.

Disneyland churros are freshly made with a distinctively crispy exterior and soft interior. The classic cinnamon sugar is year-round, while seasonal flavors rotate for holidays and special events.

A massive smoked turkey leg that's become a Disney Parks icon. Savory, salty, and big enough to share (though most people don't). More like ham in flavor than traditional turkey.

Mexican-inspired dishes served in a hacienda-style courtyard. The street tacos and enchiladas are legit, and the citrus-grilled chicken is a solid lighter option. One of the more underrated quick-service restaurants in Disneyland.

A crispy grilled cheese served with creamy tomato soup - comfort food done right. Added during Toontown's 2023 reimagining, this spot is great for families with young kids.

The frozen plant-based beverages from the Star Wars universe. Blue Milk is fruity and tropical; Green Milk is more citrusy and tart. Both are dairy-free. An essential part of the Galaxy's Edge experience.

Spiced grilled sausage and roasted pork wrapped in pita with tangy slaw and peppercorn sauce. Cooked on a podracing engine turned rotisserie. One of the most satisfying quick bites in Galaxy's Edge and a legit lunch option.

The main quick-service restaurant in Galaxy's Edge, themed as a working docking bay with a cargo ship overhead. The Smoked Kaadu Ribs (sticky pork ribs) are the standout, and the Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip is a close second. Everything is in-universe - no Earth food names here.

A lively cantina with DJ R-3X spinning tracks and creative cocktails themed to the Star Wars universe. The Fuzzy Tauntaun (with buzz-button foam that makes your lips tingle) and the Jedi Mind Trick are the most popular. Non-alcoholic options for kids too. The atmosphere is electric.

Specialty churros near Space Mountain, often featuring limited-edition flavors and colors. The Galactic Grill also serves solid burgers and chicken sandwiches if you need a real meal in this part of the park.

Personal-sized pizzas in a Toy Story-themed restaurant. The Pepperoni Cosmo is the go-to, and they've added some more creative options recently. Solid if you need a filling meal in Tomorrowland.

The signature appetizer at what's widely considered the best in-park restaurant at Disneyland Resort. Fluffy fried biscuits with white cheddar and bacon in a gorgeous art deco setting. The rest of the California-inspired menu lives up to the setting.

A generous portion of warm lobster over house-made chips with a creamy cheese sauce, pico de gallo, and lime crema. Consistently rated the single best appetizer in either Disneyland park.

Brightly colored frozen slushies topped with candy. Fun, photogenic, and legitimately refreshing on a hot day. Named after the beloved Inside Out character.

Soft serve and frozen lemonade from a Monsters, Inc.-themed stand shaped like the Adorable Snowman. The non-dairy Lemon soft serve is the star - bright, tangy, and perfect for hot days. The It's Lemon! parfait layers lemon and vanilla soft serve with graham cracker crumbles.

One of the larger quick-service spots in DCA with surprisingly decent thin-crust pizza and pasta dishes. The outdoor seating wraps around the lagoon with views of the Paradise Gardens area.

Eight themed marketplace booths serving California-inspired small plates and drinks. The Sip and Savor Pass gives you multiple tastings at a discount. This is peak foodie season at the resort.

A macaron ice cream sandwich served from the iconic orange traffic cones of Cozy Cone Motel. Each cone serves a different snack - churro bites, chili, popcorn. The ice cream sandwich and the chili cone in a bread cone are the standouts.

Retro diner with solid American comfort food - pot roast, fried chicken, and seasonal pies. The theming as a Route 66 gas station diner is outstanding, and the food is a step above standard park fare.

A solid double cheeseburger with thick-cut fries in a fire station-themed setting. One of the better burgers at either Disneyland park. The onion rings are crispy and worth adding.

Specialty hot dogs and sausages with creative toppings. The loaded chili cheese dog and the Korean BBQ sausage are the popular picks. Quick, filling, and affordable.

Everything at Pym's plays with scale - giant and tiny foods inspired by Ant-Man's size-changing tech. The Quantum Pretzel is enormous, and the Not So Little Chicken Sandwich is genuinely one of the best sandwiches in the park.

Braised beef birria tacos with consomme for dipping. A recent menu addition that quickly became a fan favorite. The shredded beef is tender and well-spiced, and the crispy tortilla holds up to the broth.

San Francisco-style sourdough bread bowls filled with clam chowder or broccoli cheddar soup. The bread is baked fresh on-site. A DCA staple since the park opened.
