    I love BBQ so we had to try this place. It was packed and the line was long. They had mobile ordering so I had my wife do the ordering and i Looked for a table to sit at. I found one down the way and in the shade. I waisted for my wife to bring the food. The place was really clean and had several staff going around cleaning the tables. Really friendly and nice. The wife was taking awhile so I called her. The mobile app would of been great and I had hoped it would skip the line but those orders would of been if we had planned ahead. The food would be ready in 20 minutes or longer so she had to get in the long line to order from the counter. The staff moved the line pretty fast. I got the combo plate which had brisket and pork ribs. It came with fries and some pickled veggies. The fries had some spices on it and were nice and crunchy. I enjoyed it a lot. the brisket was juicy and flavorful. The pork had great flavor and off the bone quick. I loved it all. I would get it all again.

    I was super hungry by this point. I only had junk all morning and afternoon. I like how there's a bathroom underneath the patio. I got the salad and it was the perfect amount of food. I enjoyed it! It wasn't filled with too much sauce. I also added the spicy barbecue sauce which made it even better. I just wish it had more corn. The service was super friendly. I sat on the balcony overlooking water. Tons of seating here it wasn't super packed at the time.

    Smoked Barbecue Combo Platter
    Melissa L.

    One of my personal favorite places to dine at Disneyland! Great options for BBQ lovers and pretty good portion sizes for the price, especially at an amusement park. Service was okay; I placed a mobile order but half of my order was not ready when I arrived to pick it up. They were very quick to rectify this which I appreciated. It definitely has a very country vibe with great scenery and seating by the Rivers of America. I took away one star as sometimes the quality of the food can be inconsistent, specifically with the brisket being tough and chewy.

    Smoked Barbecue Combo Platter

    One of the best places to dine at Disneyland. Tucked away near Tiana's bayou and the Pooh ride is the Hungry Bear. Portions are always good and super flavorful. Ordered the BBQ combo with Fries, Coleslaw, Brisket, and Pulled pork. Portion was plentiful and food was on point. I do think this is one of the restaurants I go to the most at DLR. Platter and Burgers are usually fantastic. There's a lot of seating available which is nice and cast members are super sweet, keeping the area super clean and well maintained. Fast service so once you order, you just walk up to the counter and then you'll get your food. Definitely a recommended place to try.

    Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwich and Brisket Salad
    Dallas A.

    I've eaten at Hungry Bear a couple of times while visiting Disneyland now -- while it's on the expensive side considering all of the food options in the park, I would also argue that the portions of BBQ make up for that a bit, as I've left both times with my appetite satisfied. The BBQ pulled pork sandwich is a classic and hits the spot, especially when you can dip it in several different BBQ sauce flavors. The brisket is hit-or-miss -- I've had one experience where it was juicy and delectable, but on my latest salad, it was bit dry and extremely fatty. I also tried the peach cobbler funnel fries last time, and they were a highlight of my Disneyland trip; I'd highly recommend the funnel cake fries!

    The Baseline: For a sit down Dining experience establishment the food flavors must represent the theme of the environment, there must be unique offerings to the restaurant based on the theme, and the experience must be immersive to the theme park experience. Food: We had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich which was great if you go to the bbq service stand to get the variety of sauces. I also love the corn rib platter that has the awesome corn goodness. Seasonal Snickerdoodle cold brew is really good and almost as good as the Black Caff from Docking Bay. Great dining experience for Disneyland. Service: Disneyland Cast equals great service. Atmosphere: I have a great view of Rovers of America. Great feeling and atmosphere for a bbq place at Disneyland.

    Classic Cheeseburger
    Wesley W.

    Located in Frontier Land, this BBQ eatery is worth giving a try. It's order and pick up. The BBQ meats are decent, tender and tasty. The service was very good. There was an error in my order and Ivan who takes your receipt and organize your order quickly corrected it without question. Classic cheeseburger- 3.5/5 A nice burger to get if you're not in the mood for BBQ. The burger patty was tender, not over cooked or dry. You get a slice of American cheese, some chards of lettuce in a regular hamburger bun. It would be so much better if they added a slice of two tomatoes, and maybe some pickles. BBQ salad - 4.5/5 This was an excellent selection. You get to choose your meat (we selected brisket), with fresh lettuce, carrots and cucumbers. The dressing was spicy, but you can get ranch from the condiments kiosk instead. Overall, we would revisit Hungry Bear BBQ in the near future.

    Smoked Angus Beef Burger with Pulled Pork
    Vivi V.

    This has been my husband's favorite value restaurant at Disneyland CA for half decade now. They've been reliable with easy to find seating, mobile order/quick lines and large portion sizes, and hot food. Recently they're revamped the menu to add BBQ items and more BBQ flavor sauces. We had the Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich and Smoked Angus Beef Burger with Pulled Pork and enjoyed both. Is it the best BBQ? No, but it's hot and tastes nice. The thick fries are crispy and nice. A solid choice for meals at Disneyland.

    Barbecue Salad, Smoked Barbecue Combo Platter, Banana Pudding
    Sammy B.

    This was our first time eating here since the menu changed to being more BBQ forward. I would say that the smoke BBQ combo platter is the best option because you get two choices of protein and then two sides, white bread, and pickles. I had the pulled pork and beef brisket + coleslaw and baked beans. I would give this platter a 4/5 for theme park food but it was veryyy expensive for the amount of food you get - $23 before your pass discount. My mom got the barbecue salad with beef brisket and a corn rib...she said she would not get this again. What I would 100% get again is the banana pudding! It was small and expensive but delicious. As always, cast member service is amazing and there was ample seating. Just don't know if the food is worth the price, there are other spots in Disney I would go to first!

    Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich
    Tom S.

    Decent place to grab a bite, and the only fast casual with ample seating in that area (you either have to go back to New Orleans Square/Frontierland/Adventureland or make the trek into Star Wars land). There used to be some BBQ place but I guess they closed it awhile ago. I think it was called Big Thunder Ranch BBQ. I miss that. The options are fine, standard American BBQ fare. Very easy to get the things you need, condiments are plentiful, seating is too, bathrooms are conveniently downstairs.

    Kiddies' mom preordered on her Disney App. While she stood in line to pick up the order, the kiddies and I saved 2 tables in the far back corner of the eatery. When the food came my eyes deceived me. It looked small but it was just enough. The food tasted good. Usually I like Cole slaw but I offered it to hubs but he declined.

    Loaded fries
    Eric P.

    Michelle was our cashier and she was super nice and chit chatted for a bit. I ordered the loaded fries and classic cheeseburger. She assured us that the cheeseburger was nut free. Always gotta check because of our food allergy. Theres 2 floors for dining tables. Makes it easier to find a spot. And there are restrooms on the bottom floor. The loaded fries were absolutely delicious! Im not too into pulled pork but I finished the whole thing. And yes it is a meal. It went well with the crispy fries and cheese. Its topped with jalapeños, cilantro and pickled radish. So good! Glad I decided to get this. The classic cheeseburger was really good as well and the fries it came with were perfectly crisp on the outside. They have 3 different types of bbq dispensers, classic, golden, and spicy. As well as ketchup and ranch. Great lunch experience for us. Thank you!

    This ended up being our final meal and food during our visit to Disneyland and it was still really good although there was nothing that would make it great. There are a variety of choices for what it is, and ample room for plenty of people to sit, relax for a minute, and enjoy their food. One thing that differed here from every other food venue in any Disney location where I experienced a cast member who was extremely abrasive. Now, it's fair that everyone has a bad day, and she was not nasty but she was impatient and a bit rude which was surprising at the time; all over a few questions about cole slaw. The food was outstanding though, both sandwiches were great, although I only tried a bit of each as I ended up ordering chicken fingers; something I very rarely do because this was the only way to get access to the cole slaw without having to buy it as a side item for an exorbitant theme park price. Then I was lucky enough to get everyone's pickled red onions too, which made me very happy. Everything was piping hot and prepared well and despite the high prices (to be expected) the size of the burger and pulled pork sandwiches were pretty substantial. It actually ended up feeling like we really got a good deal for our meal, likely because it was such a long day, but it's always nice going to a theme park and having access to actual good food. This ended up being yet another stop on the start of our journey to Southern California, albeit this part entirely within Disney, that was quite good. If you happen to be in Disneyland and don't want to book a dinner or lunch reservation and would prefer to simply stop somewhere to get a bite to eat, Hungry Bear isn't just a simple short order spot. You will get a very good meal that is filling and keeps you powered and walking through the park for the duration of your visit. Check it out as you exit or enter Frontierland! Zoridia Fry Index: just fine. Too much potato flavor. However they had the perfect amount of crisp.

    Do they have the churro funnel cakes? Which season do they have the churro funnel cakes?

    Unfortunately no. The churro funnel cake was a staple for awhile and was always served just like the traditional churro funnel cake when there isn't a seasonal special funnel cake.

    Is there free parking?

    It's inside Disneyland park so you have to pay for parking and a ticket to the park in order to eat here.

It's kind of like a chicken meatball? but in my opinion, much better than dinky "chicken nuggets" XD You cannot miss out on their world famous garlic pull apart bread--this is sooo soft and garlicky. Bruv, I'm even blown away by the coleslaw they make in-house. Their deals, enthusiasm, and their special menu item "My GF isn't hungry" definitely make this great little wings spot my happy place.

I came here on a whim, looking for a single entree meal for myself to eat for dinner. This meant the lunch specials were over, but he still kindly allowed me to order a lunch box since I wasn't looking to buy a big order of chicken. He also let me taste test the chicken with a spicy sauce he recommended, which I thought was super generous of him since it was pretty much a few extra pieces of chicken for free. Although the chicken wasn't as crispy as I wanted to be, it could have been the sauce and the closed to-go container that made it like that. Despite the lack of crunch, the flavor was very good and the rice that came with it had some type of chili/onion topping which gave it so much more zing. The chicken was also served on a bed of shredded green onion which was a nice touch since I love onions.

Everything we ordered was served piping hot and clearly made-to-order. The Menu Highlights: Starters: The fried pickles are a must-order huge, crispy, and battered to perfection. The cornbread muffins with honey butter are a great comfort touch. Mains: My husband went for the smothered pork chop meal with black-eyed peas, which were deeply flavorful and 'soulful' in the best way.

The space is surprisingly roomy with both comfortable indoor and outdoor options. We'll definitely be back!
