It had been a while since I'd eaten at Carnation Cafe, so I was pleasantly surprised to find an updated menu waiting for me. I decided to try the spicy chicken sandwich, and it was excellent. It had just enough heat to make things interesting without turning lunch into a personal endurance challenge, with a really nice flavor overall and just a slightly vinegary bite. And of course, a visit wouldn't feel complete without the fried pickles, which were as delicious and dangerously easy to keep eating as ever. Carnation Cafe remains such a charming little spot to slow down in the middle of a busy Disneyland day, and this visit reminded me that I shouldn't wait so long before coming back.
Been wanting to try this place for years! We made a reservation for Saturday morning, but there were actually still a good amount of seat open. It's still a popular place, but I wouldn't say it's too hard to get reservations or seating. We ordered several mickey waffles, a breakfast skillet, and the chili cheese omelet. The menu was very sticky so it felt kinda gross to touch it lol. First impressions on breakfast, portions are very small. I mainly had the mickey waffle and that was very disappointing lol, I would say even below average than making a waffle at home. Sausages were also pretty whatever. I tried a bit of the skillet and that was also pretty standard. Didn't get to try the chili cheese omelet, but that one actually looked more worth it. Overall, I think people mainly come here for the cute mickey waffle picture, but you are not missing out on much for getting this. I wished they at least add some fruit to it bc it was bland af (even with syrup/butter). Would skip this place next time lol. It's a cute restaurant though.
Still a good option for reserved seated dining at Disneyland. With its location on Main Street, the outdoor seating is great. The food is solid and comfort American classics that will appeal to all. They also serve alcohol here which is one of the few restaurants in Disneyland that do - wine, beer, champagne, and cocktails ( an old fashioned and rum punch) but you can only drink it at the restaurant. Anyway, back to the food. The fried pickles looked really good but having already ate two regular pickles while walking around the park, I passed. However, I did see a lot of tables with them so seems like a good choice. Walt's Chili was hearty and pretty filling. The turkey bacon club was loaded with turkey and good bacon. Sandwich tasted fresh and I enjoyed both the avocado mayo and lemon aioli - great dipping sauces for those fries. The Parmesan toasted patty melt is also a solid pick. Drank some champagne and watched the day parade from our table. Life is good at the mouse house!
When planning my day at DLR, I only made sit-down dinner reservations as I usually grab something quick for breakfast when hitting the parks. However, this was my first time here so we made the impromptu decision to attempt a sit-down restaurant. Carnation Cafe was staring us in the face, and we were fortunate that the wait for a table was only about 10 minutes. That being said, we decided to grab breakfast here. CC has a long history at DL. The eatery is technically an opening-day business along with the park back in 1955. It started as an ice cream parlor, but over the years has evolved into the restaurant it is today. The location is prime - right on Main Street USA with a plethora of outdoor seating that is prime for parade viewing and people watching. The interior isn't as charming, but luckily we were seated in the former. The overall aesthetics match that of its surroundings, and each table is adorned with a red carnation which I thought was a nice touch. The menu contains mostly classic American dishes, with touches of Southwest influence. A lovely day, my first time in DL, on Main St USA - the setting was too perfect NOT to have a Mickey Waffle so I went with that. The waffle was good - it came with the standard butter and syrup, as well as my choice of protein side (I got bacon). My only issue was with the syrup - it had weird consistency, very stringy? I doubt it was real maple syrup, so that's likely the reason why it was off. Besides that, it was a delightful breakfast. Service was great - the Cast Members were friendly, and I appreciated them being able to squeeze us in. Overall, I had a good experience at Carnation Cafe; while food was good, I wouldn't say it's the primary reason to come here. The food, in combination with the history and prime location make this a destination-worthy restaurant in Disneyland Park.
I really wanted to like the Mickey waffle, but it was hard, dry and bland. It came with 2 bacon strips that were cooked nicely but also bland. I get the novelty of it, but for $18, it was a disappointing meal. My partner got the breakfast sandwich which was also underwhelming but more worth it as a standalone meal than the waffle. I agree with another Yelper that there should be berries and whip included. Service was fine but I had asked for sausage with the waffle and got bacon instead
We had an awesome experience at Carnation Cafe. The food was mid, at best, but the service and the ambiance earned those stars back. Kudos to Scott & Maggie!
It's easy to pick apart Dland food. Some is horrible and some good and some really pretty tasty. The carnation cafe can be hit or miss but today it was darn tasty. We had reservations and were sat outside in about five minutes. The menu is very limited but does offer just enough most people could find something they like. We both had the turkey club sandwich. They were tasty and all the parts of the sandwich were fresh and filled with flavor. The fries were good, too. We had the fried pickles to start and the we're also really good. Overall not complaint and in fact one of the service teams really made the day. Dave was ao polite and well spoken it as like a breath of fresh air. He's a keeper.
Main Street at Disneyland is beloved for its nostalgic charm, emporiums, quaint shops and detailed architecture. It is the gateway to the magic world of Disney! During our visit we made reservations at Carnation Cafe. They serve up some of the best American comfort food at Disneyland Resort- beef short rib, fried pickles, wedge salads, and my personal favorite, baked potato soup! Service is exceptional. And the staff were friendly and amicable. The atmosphere is charming and nostalgic, with outdoor seating on Main Street. Prices are relatively high compared to other dining options. But overall, we had an amazing dining experience!
I finally got the chance to have food here. Despite that it was a rainy day and we couldn't sit outside, we ate inside the section where they sell ice cream. We were seated and given menus but they have a select amount of dishes. I knew immediately that I wanted to try Walt's Chili. It was really good, with breadcrumbs on top, cheese, sour cream and chives. I got the toasted Parmesan patty melt, with beef patty, Monterrey jack cheese, grilled onions, house sauce on sourdough bread. It was by far the best patty melt I've ever had in my whole life. Every bite was incredible. It will be quite difficult to match that. The turkey club sandwich was my partner's choice with bacon, tomato, cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise and lemon aioli on sourdough. She's not crazy about bacon but it was damn good to munch on. She enjoyed her sandwich and of course the fries were really really good. The service was great, they looked after us at any moment that we needed them. In your first visit to Disneyland I would highly recommend you make reservations to come here.
Carnation Cafe is always a go-to for us and has become a family tradition. I've been coming here since I was a baby, and now I get to bring my preteen, which makes it even more special. Her absolute "must-have" every visit is the fried chicken dish. The chicken is always perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes with gravy are amazing. The green beans are consistently good, and we always enjoy the side of breadsticks as well. This time we also tried the Oreo cake for dessert and it was delicious! The ambiance is always wonderful, and the service has consistently been great. It's one of those classic Disneyland spots that keeps us coming back every visit.
Carnation Café at Disneyland had really good food. I ordered the salad with the green goddess dressing and the potato soup, and both were fresh and flavorful. The dressing especially stood out--it had that classic creamy herb flavor that worked perfectly with the salad. The only downside was the view from our table. We could clearly see staff cleaning equipment and supplies in plain sight, which felt a little un-Disney. One of the things Disneyland usually does so well is keeping the "behind the scenes" stuff hidden to preserve the magic. Overall the food was great, but the atmosphere lost a bit of the Disney immersion because of that.
Ate here a few months ago. Made a reservation in advance for 4 people. It was super crowded inside checking in with the hostess and we were seated a little bit later than our reservation. Service was great otherwise. We were seated outside in their cramped outside area. The food was just okay. I did really like the Walt's chili with the nice touch of fried cornbread batter on top. My husband enjoyed his patty melt but said the seasoned fries were the best part of it. I ordered the beef stroganoff which they no longer have on their menu. If they ever do bring it back, don't get it. It was flavorless and salty all at once and the noodles were overcooked.
A great option for one of your meals while here at Disneyland! Our waitress Danielle went above and beyond for our duel birthday celebration. Thank you to the whole staff for making our meal special!
Had a reservation for 640pm and still waited 40 minutes to get seated. There needs to be a better process for this. I was hangry by the time we were seated but let me tell you that it was worth the wait. The fried pickles and baked potato soup was delicious and made me happy. Our waiter was also on point on checking on us so don't let the wait scare you away! read more
Great location for parades and Main Street entertainment. Unfortunately, while the location is amazing and staff were friendly, the food was disappointing. We stopped in on a Friday for lunch and ordered the Cobb salad and patty melt. The patty melt was ok, but was pretty greasy and bread was not really toasted. Fries tasted good. The Cobb salad was sad. Soggy and wilted lettuce with oversized chunks of cheese and ham, very little chicken. Bacon was very hard and difficult to eat, croutons were stale. Lots of food options in the park, for the price skip this place and eat elsewhere. read more
Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich on the brioche bun. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was thick. The silver dollar pancakes and waffles were unfortunately dry but the fruit was fresh. We asked for double portions of fruit but you have other side options to choose from. The staff was friendly but there was a wait time even for reservations when I went. read more

This is a must for breakfast when we travel to Disneyland. We been coming here since I was a kid and it was a tradition we did as a family with my mom that I now passed down with my daughter. We always book our reservation in advance on the Disney App for the earliest reservation to start our day with a cute Disney breakfast on Main Street. It's nice to hear the music and watch the families walk into the park right when it opens, there's always street entertainment going through Main Street to watch from the patio while you enjoy breakfast. Also the prices are some of the best for dining in Disneyland I believe. Can't wait for our next trip to come back and visit. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot inside Disneyland--hands down! We made a reservation through the app for 9:20 AM on a Sunday, and here's a tip: you can check in up to 20 minutes early on the app. I highly recommend doing that, because last time we didn't--and ended up waiting past our reservation time. The service here is always top-notch. The staff really go out of their way to make everything feel extra magical. While waiting for our food, our 4-year-old was given a fun coloring menu and crayons, which kept him happy and entertained. We ordered the kids' Mickey Mouse waffles (always a hit!) and I went with the veggie skillet--super satisfying. We usually sit outside on the patio--it's a lovely spot to start the day before all the adventures begin. read more
Annual pass holder here. Haven't eaten at carnation in years and years. During the holiday time we decided to have sit down dinner since we were making it a full day. Joined the wait list from the app (dining reservations and scroll down to "join the wait list". We were seated outside and had very quick service. Fried Pickles, cup of chili and cup of baked potato soup. This where we should have stopped as everything was fabulous and that was enough to eat. Highly recommend. We also split a cheeseburger and fries which was fine. Hard to say if that was just because we were too full but I would not order again. Also tried the egg nog old fashioned and loved it. Try for a seating around 7:30 when the snoap comes down. Very Merry and magical. Enjoy!!! read more

Hey there Party People Hanging out in Disneyland to celebrate the Holidays. Always a must for Hubby and I our waiter was Max. Super friendly made excellent suggestions on the menu. Never wanted for anything he was so on top of it. The atmosphere is through the roof and the Christmas Spirit abounds. I decided to start with a festive cocktail Egg Nog Old Fashioned. It was so tasty and took the chill right off my bones Hubby and I Had the Walt's Chilli and Baked potato soup. We absolutely loved both. Hubby thought the chilli was very meaty and I thought the potato soup was super creamy with just the right amount of Bacon. For meals I had the Beef Stroganoff. It's the first time I have had this dish with bacon in it. It added a real depth of flavor to the gravy. The meat was so tender you could pull it apart with a fork. Hubby had the Patty Melt. He enjoyed it. The meat wasn't dry which is tough because he likes his burgers well done, so hats off to the chef. Be kind to one another read more
Wanted to like this place for breakfast but it was a pass for me. My breakfast sandwich had no flavor and was bland and there was not many breakfast items to pick from. We needed salt and pepper after our food was dropped off and our server never came back to check on us. read more
Leave it to Disney to make every experience a 5-stars experience even at their restaurants. From service to ambiance, nothing can beat dining at one of their restaurants and it helps there's always something to keep the kids entertained. The highlight of this meal was the staff and their friendliness. They were attentive and quick to answer any concerns. My absolute favorite was my daughter's pb&j. Instead of it coming out premade, they bring it deconstructed so we can control how much of each ingredient we put on the bread. I wish more places did this as it allowed us to make it to her liking and not have ingredients falling out of the bread. read more

The food is awesome and we enjoy eating here when we visit. The chili is particularly good and is "Walt's fave recipe." The service is always prompt (with a reservation) - walk up can be a wait... IF POSSIBLE TO BE SEATED... reservations suggested!!! The wedge salad is great too. Today we got chili for an appetizer and the guacamole burger for our meaning entree. The fresh fruit with the kids menu items (adult offering too) is always good and fresh and delish! This restaurant is convenient and clean and always a hit with our family right on Main Street and right on price! read more

Cozy and yummy. A perfect place to rest and eat while at Disneyland. My friend had suggested this place after a full day at both parks. She is a Disney food aficionado, I always trust her food recommendations. We had shared their patty melt and chili. It was a perfect combo. Their portions are pretty big, so it was perfect we shared. read more

Shocked by how much I enjoyed this restaurant and the experience! This restaurant is located along Main Street, and if you sit outside you can enjoy seeing everyone walking along the street. The cafe had old-school decor with striped umbrellas and beaded lamps. I ordered the Braised Short Rib (substituted the mashed potatoes for additional vegetables) and it came out steaming! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this meal was, especially when the menu mostly consisted of sandwiches. The beef was super moist, and could be easily cut apart with a fork - no knife needed! The staff was also fantastic. We were seated about 5 minutes after our reservation time, and were often checked on. Our waiter also kindly turned on the outdoor heater for us once the sun started to go down. The only reason I am docking a star is due to the limited menu. If you are not in the mood for a sandwich or salad, there are not a lot of options to choose from. read more

Walt's Chili Chunks of beef, beans and nice kick, with cornbread crisps. Very tasty chili but not the cornbread crisps were not crispy, some were. Chef Salad Just ok. Chicken Fried Chicken Very good however portion a bit small, with mashed potatoes, gravy and mashes potatoes. Good flavor. Peach pie ala mode This pie was fire. Rate food 3.5 overall. Ben our server was top shelf. Rate a 5. read more

SERVICE (2/5): Absolutely sucked. We were seated quick, within 15 minutes. Once seated, it took the waitress over 20 minutes to even acknowledge us. No water, I'll be right there, or anything! AMBIANCE (3/5): this place is SMALL! But they turnover people really fast. The food comes out quick, the service just sucks. So waiting time was long but once you ordered it was pretty fast. FOOD (4/5): $19 CHILI CHEESE OMELETTE: I'd come back just for this! It was so yummy. Trust me & order it! $19 BREAKFAST SKILLET: definitely more carb heavy, but if that's what you're craving also another great option. $17 MICKEY SHAPED WAFFLE: it's one big Mickey waffle! Crispy & delicious. Everything tastes better in the shape of Mickey. They serve alcohol here! read more
For the longest time, I've dreamt about coming to Carnation Cafe. I've heard so much about the magic of this place. My girlfriend finally took the initiative and managed to make a reservation. But when the time finally came, my dreams were crushed. We're vegan, so we got the allergy-friendly version of the Mickey-shaped Waffles. It was disappointing! The waffles are just too dry, crumbly, and had the gluten-free taste. In fact, it didn't really taste like waffles. But I appreciate that they included vegan/plant-based butter and syrup. Also, the potatoes were nicely seasoned and pretty delicious. We were seated outdoors but there is also indoor seating available. Like with many of Disneyland's dining areas, the tables were crammed together. A friendly server took our order and they were knowledgeable about the vegan options. Even though the food wasn't ideal, the experience was good. Also, they have a bathroom right at the outdoor dining area which is convenient. Vegans: if you're interested in the experience of dining at Carnation Cafe, then go for it. But if you're seeking quality plant-based food, then find another place. read more

The patty melt was meh. The bread was really tough to bite because of the toasted parm; I had to use a knife to cut the sandwich into smaller bites. Also the ranch was really vinegary. The ambiance was amazing. You're in Disneyland, how could it be bad?!? Service was good too. The best part. The absolute best part. Was the fried pickles. So so good. 10/10 recommend. read more
We came to Carnation Cafe as our first restaurant at Sweethearts nite! We all tried a bit of everything & I have a few favorites: the fried pickle + the fried provolone. The fried provolone was perfectly crispy and tasted SOOO yummy + paired nicely with the flavorful marinara sauce. My other fav was the fried pickle -- I would litcherally only come here just for that LOL it was so perfectly crispy ! The service was super quick, we all got our food quickly which was nice because we were all starving. I would def come back to Carnation Cafe next time I'm at Disney :-) read more

Got a reservation for 10:20am on Sunday. Ordered the Mickey Waffle ($17), Breakfast Skillet & Veggie Skillet. Both skillets were so yummy! Very flavorful and not too overly salty. We had to get the iconic Mickey waffle but it's definitely not worth the $17 price tag. The pancakes have better value because you get a stack of 3 versus this one waffle. Their drip coffee and speciality coffee drinks are great! This is a lovely location to people watch and enjoy the vibes of Disneyland. read more
I was lucky enough to try Carnation Cafe during my last Disney visit! My friend was able to make a reservation and I finally got to try the famous Mickey-shaped waffle. I definitely recommend making a reservation well in advance since it is packed every day. Carnation cafe is right on Main Street and it has a wonderful ambiance. We were seated outside under an umbrella-covered table where we had a nice view of Main Street. Service was awesome. Their staff is attentive and friendly. The Mickey-shaped waffle was not only super cute but delicious as well. It had powdered sugar on it and came with maple syrup and butter. You are also able to choose bacon or sausages as your side. I chose the sausages and a side of two scrambled eggs. The eggs were not my favorite. I thought they had an interesting texture and lacked some flavor. I added some Tapatio and that helped. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the sweet cream cold brew. It could have used a bit more sweetness and flavor. Imo there are better options for coffee at Disneyland. However, I truly enjoyed this experience. The main reason I went was to try the Mickey-shaped waffle and it definitely met my expectations. read more
Carnation Café at Disneyland provided a lovely dining experience that's definitely worth trying if you're in the park. I ordered the orange cream soda and the braised short ribs. The orange cream soda was decent--it tasted like Fanta with whipped cream on top. It was enjoyable, but not quite the classic cream soda I was hoping for. The braised short ribs, on the other hand, were incredibly tender and flavorful, though they leaned on the salty side. Thankfully, the creamy mashed potatoes balanced the dish nicely and made it more enjoyable overall. Do note that reservations are a must, as it's a popular spot. The ambiance and service made it a delightful break from the hustle of the park. I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and to try more of the menu! read more

Chili 5/5 Chicken fried chicken 3/5 - chicken a bit dry and breading was super thick but the tasty green and mash made up for it. Sweet cream cold brew 2/5 - bland and watered down Fries 5/5 Kids burgers 4/5 Turkey sandwich 4/5 Fried pickles 4/5 Tl;dr 4/5 for value, taste, service and location. read more
You NEED to have a ticket or pass to enter inside Disneyland where this restaurant is located! It is recommended to have a reservation to dine in. They also have a standby queue but not guaranteed for dining in. The server was friendly and took notes of allergies. It did take a while to get refills on our beverages, but we got them. I ordered their braised short ribs and I'm not going to lie, this dish has gotten worse each time I've dined in. It was extremely salty. I suggest getting their parmesan burger! That was way tastier than what I ordered. Their baked potato soup was delicious. I wish there was more than just one size. We also ordered the peach cobbler. The crust was just right but it didn't taste like fresh peaches. It was really sweet in my opinion. We sat outside so nosie level was loud. They had a ton of heating lamps and I felt it was almost too hot for my head. read more

When I got in for the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon in September 2024, I knew I had to book a reservation to Carnation Café! It's been years since I've had a chance to eat there again! My husband and I decided to book a reservation for 2:30 on a Saturday for lunch. Check-in process was a breeze! We checked in through the Disneyland mobile application and let the team know at the Carnation Café that we were ready. We ended up getting placed in outside seating, overlooking Main Street U.S.A. It was an extremely hot day outside, around 108! It was a heat wave in Anaheim California that week. Luckily, the team members at Carnation Café were constantly filling up our water cups and sodas with plenty of refills! Carnation Café Lunch hours are from 11:30 A.M to 3:55 P.M. Their lunch menu offers a wide range of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and plant-based options! I had to order the Parmesan Toasted Patty Melt. The Patty Melt had Monterey Jack, Grilled Onions on a Toasted Parmesan Sourdough Bread. I opted not to include the house sauce in the Patty Melt. French Fries were served on the side. My husband ended up getting Walt's Chili, which was topped with cheese, sour cream, chives, and a corn bread garnish. The food came out so quick! It was at our table within 15 minutes! Luckily, we got to watch the Mickey and Friends Halloween Cavalcade go down Main Street U.S.A. The performances are typically between 1:45 P.M and 2:45 P.M daily! The Patty Melt was delicious! I couldn't finish it, but luckily my husband was still hungry after the Chili! The burger patty was juicy and so flavorful! The best part about the Patty Melt was the Toasted Parmesan Sourdough bread! The Sourdough was perfect and the toasted parmesan was so scrumptious on the Sourdough bread! I normally get Patty Melt's with Rye Bread and this was such a nice change! Food prices are between $15-$34.99 per adult for their lunch menu. The Carnation Café also offers breakfast and dinner options too! You could also reserve a dining experience around 8:50 and catch the fireworks, and the Main Street U.S.A lights! This is one of my favorite dining spots in Disneyland and is a must visit if you haven't had a chance to yet! read more
12/22/2024 Perhaps one of the most affordable sit downs in all of Disneyland Resort. Where: directly in the front of Disneyland park within Main Street USA. Set in one of many Victorian buildings. How: reservations are highly recommend and accessible directly on the Disneyland app. Walk-in's are welcome, but expect a 30-45 minute wait for those without reserved seating. What: we came here for lunch. The interior is reminiscent of a diner and the food are in generous portions. Our waitress was very patient and attentive. Our fountain drinks were refilled as our waitress continually visited our table. - The meal: * Baked potato soup: my friend enjoyed this creamy bowl of luscious soup. * Wedge salad: enough to be shared by two; fresh and simply delicious. * Carnation Burger: a gigantic burger with fries. Perfectly cooked burger and well seasoned cajun fries. * Chicken Fried Chicken: fried chicken breast, mashed potatoes with cajun gravy and green beans. Simply delicious. Most of the meal options were between $18-$22, which is not bad at all. One of my favorite meals here at the Disneyland Resort. read more

Carnation Cafe is an absolute favorite of mine. This was our first time visiting on Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day they have a turkey dinner option in lieu of their usual turkey club sandwich. The turkey was so juicy and delicious! The mashed potatoes are always the perfect texture. The green beans were prepared a little differently this time, they had red bell peppers mixed in, and it gave them a nice balance. My daughter ordered the chicken-fried chicken, which is my usual go-to. She loved it, the chicken was also juicy and perfectly fried, it was paired with the same green beans and mashed potatoes. Another Thanksgiving day special was the pumpkin pie, which I am not typically a fan of, but the crust was...different, in a good way. The crust of the pumpkin pie almost reminded me of the old school fried apple pie crust from McDonalds or the current offerings from Popeyes. Very good. I highly recommend Carnation Cafe in general, but it was a great choice on Thanksgiving for a traditional meal option. read more

6 of us with 3 adults and 3 children are waiting over an hour long by the host station inside since it was a hot afternoon,of course with small preschoolers they could not sit still. A server named Kathy pushed me and said you are on my way of seating "people's" as if I am not a "person" I am an Asian American and she is African American so not too sure what she meant by but it's very sensitive to my feelings. Once sat down and they put us outside then server came in to take the order and I asked for the drink menu and she questioned me by saying "Did you not get it when they seated you?" Well if I did why would I asked??? I guessed if you can't handle the high volume of consumer and had some well trained customer's services mindset in the happiest place like Disney then why bothered! read more

Ask the Community - Carnation Cafe
What cooking oil does the Carnation Cafe use? I'm allergic to seed oils so it's vitally important what oil is used on the food.
It is best to ask them there to make sure. When booking a dining reservation there is also a place to enter any allergies online. Wherever we've gone they always confirm at check-in as well as at the table.
Will they take walk up?
They may! It just depends on how many reservations have been made/cancelled. I've found that most days, especially later in the evening, there are openings.
Are you able to ask for your meat cooked a specific way? I like my burgers well done and see theirs don't look that way.
They ask how you want it cooked so I'd imagine you can let them know you want it well done.
How are they with food intolerances? Will they delete or remove a specific topping or condiment? Do they do substitutions? Thank you.
Hello, yes they are very good with food intolerances. If needed they do offer to remove any specific condiments with substitutions.
Did they stop serving dinner?
Nope. They still serve dinner. Ever since COVID they don't serve as full a menu as they did before but they do have a lunch and dinner service. It's the same menu for both. Breakfast is a whole different menu.
I have breakfast reservation at 10:50 AM but it is closed to lunch time also. Am I allowed to order off the lunch menu as well?
Usually Disney is very accommodating. Just let your server know that's what you'd like to do. They may not be able to put in the lunch order until 11 or 11:30 or whatever the lunch time is, but they will do whatever they can to help out.
Can you watch the parade while you dine?
Probably not. Depends where you are seated. But you need to be outside to enjoy the parade. We were with in "kissing" distance from the characters and it was awesome. Sitting inside of a restaurant will not give the same enjoyment.
Is the fried chicken same as the one in the plaza inn?
I honestly don't think so I've had both and both taste completely different
Are reservations recommended ? Or is it easy to get a table (Friday night)?
Reservations are recommended it gets super busy especially on a Friday night
Is their breakfast menu all day?
Breakfast is serve from 8 to 11 am. Highly recommend to make reservations prior to get in to the restaurant. They won't take you unless you have a reservation.
When is brunch over?
Breakfast is from 8am-11:30am and lunch is from 11:30am-3:30pm
Did they bring back the chicken apple sausage for breakfast?
Nope just the regular one. Side order comes with 2 pieces FYI
