Good snack stop with comforting New Orleans flavors Had the fritters and gumbo bowl at Royal Street Veranda and it was a satisfying quick meal inside the park. The fritters were crispy on the outside and soft inside, served warm and super snackable while walking around. The gumbo bowl was flavorful and comforting with a rich savory broth that felt surprisingly hearty for theme park food. It had that cozy New Orleans-inspired flavor that made it stand out from regular park snacks. Service was quick and efficient, making it an easy stop during a busy day at the park. The vibe around the area is charming and relaxing, especially with the nearby New Orleans Square atmosphere and live music in the background. It's a nice little break from the more crowded parts of the park. Definitely a good option if you want something warm, flavorful, and different from standard amusement park food. read more

If you happen to be in New Orleans Square at Disneyland and hungry, this is one of the places where you can grab a quick bite. It's a small outdoor cafe with a few tables. When I was here, there was no line and my food was available at the pick up window right after I ordered. If it's busy, you can also mobile order. I came for their newest treat the New Orleans Mint Julep Float ($9.79). It's the classic mint julep with a scoop of mango sorbet. It's pretty sweet but a good treat for a warm day. I also got their Monte Cristo ($13.99) but it wasn't as good as I remember the one from Cafe Orleans being. It was one doughy chunk and the jam was just packages of Smuckers that you have to get yourself. There are better food options in the park but it's not a bad place if you want something convenient. read more

I still love Royal Street Veranda. Recently, the family got new passes back to Disneyland and we've been going regularly. And while we've been trying out all that's new, I've also had the chance to come back into the comforting arms of some old favorites. In the case of Royal Street, the food here is just as good as I remembered, if not even better. Tucked on the side of Pirates of the Caribbean, this little shop serves up a variety of Sourdough Soup Bowls, cold drinks, and Monte Cristo Sandwiches. Throughout the year, they also offer differing holiday themed treats, and promotional glasses. But, I almost always walk away with their Clam Chowder. Rich and creamy, the chowder here is well seasoned and filled with both meat and vegetables, making for a very filling meal and an entire round of tasty sourdough to wash it all down. The lines here are almost always just a few minutes wait at most and you get your order filled quickly. And to top it off, the prices aren't too horrific (by Disneyland standards). Honestly, for a quick lunch that doesn't disappoint, it's tough to beat Royal Street Veranda. ---------- And for the Disneyland Reviews List: Taste - Or the Overall Flavor: * * * * * Whether it's Clam Chowder, the Cheddar Broccoli, or if you're lucky enough to get the Steak Gumbo, you're going to enjoy a large bowl of soup and then fill up on your Sourdough Round right after. Every bit of it is delicious and the whole of it is a filling meal. Convenience - Of the Seating & Service Options: * * * There are very few tables here and only a small window to order from, making this place difficult to eat at on a crowded day. Still, the lines here tend to be short and a bread bowl is actually easy to take around the park with you in a pinch. Value - Will you walk away satisfied?: * * * * * Every place in Disneyland is relatively over priced; the trick is to find food that will make you not want a snack two hours later, despite what you pay. Typically, paying around $12 per person is what you should expect, but still have a filling meal. A Bread Bowl at the Royal Street Veranda easily satisfies around that $12 threshold. Better still, you can easily split this with a loved one and both finish with your hungers satisfied. You won't be utterly stuffed, but you can easily keep riding rides until your dinner reservation comes up. Kid Factor - Is there entertainment for the young ones?: * This is a small place with not much to keep kids occupied. There's a small chance to have a band or singers nearby, but it won't be more than a few minutes before wee ones are demanding to go on Haunted Mansion or Pirates. read more

This is one of my go to items I get every time I come to Disneyland! It's always delicious, I just wish the portion size was bigger! The bowl it self isn't readily edible beside the inner parts because it is really hard to chew. Other than that, this is so flavorful and a must try. read more

Great place for snacks and refreshments. Had the clam chowder in a bowl. It was okay. The bread was a little stale and hard. Probably sat out too long on the counter waiting to be filled. I usually can eat the entire sourdough bowl, but, it was too stale. Seats and tables are available on the outside patio or in the adjacent dining room. Mobile ordering is the best way to save time. read more

I really wanted to try their coffee fritters which was offered on the holidays menu. I placed a mobile order and picked up at my designated time. Located in New Orleans Square. I felt the fritters needed a bit more sugar. A bit bitter from the strong coffee. It was on the denser side. Overall, it was good. For coffee lovers and someone that doesn't like desserts too sweet, this will be for you. read more

An awesome foodie day at Disneyland started with broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl, a roasted veggie burrata salad with balsamic dressing, and the Impossible slider. We skipped breakfast and were starving by 10am, so this ended up being a very early lunch. The line was not super long but not short either, and ordering, paying, and picking up our food was quick and easy.. Everything we tried was flavorful and well seasoned. The broccoli cheddar soup bread bowl was definitely our favorite, but the salad and sliders were solid too. The sliders were heavily seasoned and almost had an Indian curry vibe, which was actually pretty tasty. Overall, I would recommend eating here, though I do think the roasted vegetable salad and slider were seasonal menu items. read more

Another nice spot to mobile order and there's a small amount of tables and chairs available for seating, and shade, which is much appreciated on a hot day. My daughter was excited about the broccoli cheddar soup in a sourdough bread bowl, however the bread wasn't fresh and was kinda stale. She still enjoyed the soup. I opted for the monte cristo sandwich. It was good, but very dense. We were treated to a guest appearance by Captain Jack Sparrow while we were dining and he was kind enough to stop and talk with us prior to signing autographs and taking photos with others. We caught up to him later in the day and got our own photo with him too! read more

The Royal Street Veranda is a charming quick service spot in Disneyland's New Orleans Square, just beside the Pirates of the Caribbean entrance. After getting the Boysen Apple Freeze from Maurice's Treats in Disneyland, I wanted to stop by Royal Street Veranda to get the Monte Cristo Sandwich! This restaurant is designed to look like New Orleans style décor such as iron accents, gas lamps, and a balcony overlooking the Rivers of America! This location offered minimal seating just a few tables tucked beneath the balcony. We ended up bringing our meal over near Tiana's Palace to eat! The menu for Halloween's Seasonal offerings include the Coffee Fritters and some unique tumblers! You can also get soup (Clam Chowder and Broccoli Cheddar) as well as a roasted vegetable salad and a plant based meatball slider! Beverages are limited to soda, juices, milk, and a seasonal pumpkin crème brulee cold brew. I enjoyed the Monte Cristo Sandwich. It was filled with Ham, Turkey and Swiss Cheese. There was some powdered sugar and a side of Jam served with it. The jam reminded me of a strawberry jelly. I actually preferred the Monte Cristo Sandwich without the jam. It was perfectly fried and it was super scrumptious! The Boysen Apple Freeze drink was yummy with the Sandwich! The service was quick here on a Friday mid afternoon at the restaurant. It wasn't too busy. It was easy to walk up, order, and pick up the meal! read more

What happened to my Monte Cristo sandwich? It was previously cut in half, dusted and so delicious. This time we got one dusted wedge that we cut ourselves and it didn't taste as good. Hopefully, it was just a fluke. I will have to come back and try again. The fritter flavors here are seasonal. We have had pretty good luck with all the flavors. This was our first time having the roasted vegetable salad. It has a topping of burrato cheese. It wasn't for us. But I think people who like roasted vegetables would like it with the burrato. read more

This review is specifically for the Buffalo chicken slider. It's actually pretty darn good! Really good Buffalo flavor and the beignets are sweet, fluffy, and tasty as well! The only criticism I have is the texture of the breading is a little funny. It's not crispy like at other hot chicken sandwich places. It feels like it was pre breaded and froze kind of. For $11.49 it's a pretty good size and I think definitely worth it! read more

I've never tried the famous Monte Cristo sandwich until now... and WOW! It's much better than I thought it would be. The bread is soft, warm, and delicious. The cheese and ham pair well with everything, and then there's the sweetness of the powdered sugar and jelly dip. It's Disneyland so obviously it's overpriced, but the sandwich itself is decent sized for an adult who needs a large snack or small meal. If you're on the fence, try it! It's pretty damn good read more

The Baseline: For theme park to-go food stands the food must be tasty, have an experience, reliable service, and be a part of the experience. Food: I love Royal Street in the morning, evening, and even at supper time! I have been here for morning monte cristos and seasonal cold brews and for quick fritter bites in the evening, because this stand has a revolving rotating menu keeping it fresh in offerings. This trip gave me a Buffalo Chicken Beignets Slider opportunity which was awesome. Spicy chicken with slaw between two pillowy beignets... yes... this. Though this is supposed to be available until the end of June 2025, they always have a Monte Cristo-esque type of offering and I suggest you give that a try. Service: Disney cast member service is always at a 5-star in the parks and today was no different. Got my mobile order quick-n-easy. Also Magic Key discount applies here. Ambience: Though the Nightmare Before Christmas store will be missed the Jazz club dining area makes up for it in the awesome place I get to eat now. The decor is kid friendly and appropriate to the theme of the area. I can always shop for Nightmare Before Christmas gear at the Haunted Mansion prefab-barn gift shop anyway. read more

We weren't especially hungry, but when we noticed something called a Buffalo Chicken Beignet Slider ("Fried Chicken dipped in Buffalo Sauce and Creamy Slaw on Mickey-shaped Beignets") on the Royal Street Veranda, we pretty much had to order one. I mean, we're not monsters! Anyway, it's delicious. The whole thing just somehow works; all the flavors are so tasty together, and it didn't even matter that the fried chicken hardly tasted fresh. I probably could've eaten a whole one myself, but it's likely a good thing I didn't. read more

This plant-based meatball slider was so good! $10 was a little steep. I feel like 2 of these at $15 total would have been perfect. But it was delicious! The flavor of the vegan "meatball" was so good, and the marinara sauce and bun were tasty. Total winner! read more

With so many places to eat around Disneyland, Royal Street Veranda can sometimes be overlooked. This quick-service spot offers clam chowder, plant-based chili, and unique seasonal snacks--solid 3.75 star, a-ok rating for me. As of February 2025, the breakfast menu includes the popular Waffle Cristo (in full and half orders), seasonal snacks, and beverages. For lunch and dinner, entrées include clam chowder or plant-based chili in a sourdough bread bowl, seasonal items, kids' meals, and non-alcoholic beverages. The snack-size Mardi Gras Monte Cristo was delicious and comforting, perfect for one person or to share with a friend. The sourdough bread bowls can be a hit or miss. Although I have had fresh bread in the past, the bread in my recent order was cold and stale. Also, the price is the same whether you get the chowder or chili with or without the bread bowl. I think you'd get more soup in a regular bowl. I'll have to verify that next time. They sometimes charge extra for the little dipping sauce or extra jam cups. It would have been nice to include it with the items. There is one window for walk-up ordering and one for pickup, including mobile orders. Mobile ordering is the way to go and save time. Magic Key discounts also apply. There are a few tables available at RSV but they can be crowded. You can also walk over to Tiana's Palace, Harbour Galley, or Stage Door Cafe (next to River Belle Terrace) for additional tables and breathing room. Note: I prefer the clam chowder at Aunt Cass's in DCA. ;) read more

I always love getting the clam chowder bread bowls when I'm at Disneyland. It's tasty and filling. Service is quick and friendly and plenty of tables around the area. They also had broccoli cheddar for this season. It wasn't good at all and had too much of a broccoli taste. I wish it tasted like Panera bread but it's nowhere near it. Don't get it! read more

If you like Disney's monte Cristo sandwiches, I DO NOT recommend coming here for the mini version. They are premade and are sitting in warming ovens. I also don't recommend the baked cheesy biscuits, which were also pre-plated and sitting in a warmer. The biscuits were hard, and had a prominent garlic powder flavor. I also ordered the side of Cajun cheese sauce ($1.39) and it was needed to offset the garlicky-ness :( If you get anything from here, stick to the classic chowder in a bread bowl! read more

Right next to "Pirates" our favorite ride and an obligatory part of the Disney experience for us is to have a soup in sourdough.

Did not realize they also do Monte Cristo's here so that must be new and the next time we come, I will have that. Part of the adventure here is getting an outside table so scored that and then enjoyed the soup while watching all the characters walking around and oh yeah some Disney cast mates also walking by were amus read more

Tucked away in New Orleans Square, Royal Street Veranda is a hidden gem that never disappoints! On our recent visit, we tried two new-to-us menu items and WOW--instant favorites. The Baked Cheesy Biscuits were absolute comfort in every bite--warm, soft, and loaded with cheesy goodness. Perfectly golden with just the right amount of savory crust, they're the ideal grab-and-go snack or side. But the real showstopper? The Buffalo Chicken Beignet Slider. Don't let the powdered sugar fool you--this sweet-and-spicy combo was incredible! The chicken had a nice kick, and the beignet was fluffy and surprisingly perfect as a bun. It's a flavor explosion that totally works. Service was quick, nice ambiance, everything was fresh, and there's something extra magical about enjoying bold, creative bites right in the heart of Disneyland. We'll definitely be back! read more

I ordered the seasonal Impossible Meatball Slider (available until January 2026). I placed a mobile order, but I wish I had just ordered in person, the mobile order line was long and didn't feel worth the convenience. Dining is also a bit tricky since there are limited tables, and the area gets pretty crowded and disorganized with the foot traffic near Pirates of the Caribbean. The slider itself was okay, not amazing, but it's nice to see a plant-based option on the menu. Overall, just an average experience. read more

Located inside Disneyland park. It is in New Orleans square at the corner. There are limited tables. I mobile ordered a small snack for myself. It was ready in minutes.

Royal Street Veranda has always been a reliable spot for me to mobile order and get a quick bite. If you're in the mood for a monte cristo, but a smaller version that you don't have to dine in for, this is a good place to get one. It can get a little messy with the powdered sugar, but I think overall the sandwich holds together well. You can also get a clam chowder bread bowl here - there's only a few tables right outside this spot, but the walk to more seating options outside of Stage Door Cafe isn't far. Some of their Halloween seasonal items that I tried were their vegan meatball slider & their pumpkin creme brulee cold brew. The slider is pretty small considering it's almost $10 - the impossible meatball was okay, but forgettable, and the bread was a little hard. The cold brew had a lot going on it in, maybe too much. The combination of coffee, pumpkin spice, toffee chips, whipped cream, and whatever sweeteners are in there, seemed kind of overpowering, but maybe worth a try if you really want to knock out all of the pumpkin items. read more

I used to come here whenever I was craving clam chowder, so I had high expectations coming back after about four years. Unfortunately, I left a bit disappointed. I remember when they were more generous with their bread bowls, properly hollowing them out so they could be filled with plenty of soup. This time, it felt like there was barely any chowder inside. I finished it in what felt like ten spoonfuls--okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but it was still underwhelming compared to what I remembered. My husband ordered the broccoli cheddar bread bowl, and that was disappointing as well. The flavor was off and not very enjoyable. On the positive side, the bowls came out fairly quickly after ordering. It's a walk-up kiosk where you place your order, and there are a few tables out front if you want to sit and eat. At about $13 per bowl, it's also relatively affordable compared to other food options at Disney. If you do decide to eat here, I'd recommend the clam chowder over the broccoli cheddar--just don't expect a very generous portion of soup. read more

Tried out the clam chowder bowl. What's even in clam chowder, looks like something you give to a retiree who can't swallow food anymore. It looks like gerber food. Brother, you're telling me grown adults eat clam, onions, and milk and say it's delicious. Get out of here, you taste the potatoes which aren't bad, but then you start savoring and taste the onions and dairy substance and it's like Lord no.
