    Mini Corn Dogs with Fries Beer-battered Fish and Chips
    Michael T.

    Maybe it was the mobile order efficiency, maybe the friendly staff, maybe the lack of lines and plethora of shaded seating in mid-January, maybe the extra hot, juicy and crispy fish and chips, or maybe it was super duper hand dipped mini corn dogs, but I think Stage Door is a solid stop if you find yourself in need of a bite break near New Orleans Square at Disneyland. We came here in search of the mega famous hand dipped corndog. Sadly these recently came off the menu, meaning the only place you can get one is on Main Street, but they were replaced by the mini corndogs that were quite delicious. Sweet and crispy batter, juicy cocktail Weiners, and crispy fries made a great lunch for my older son. The fish and chips came with a huge piece of incredibly crispy fried fish, crispy fries, and tangy tartar sauce. My younger son loved the fish and fries, but the order was so big that we were able to have a few bites too. In fact, two could easily share this, especially two kids. Staff was super friendly here as well. It was my first mobile order and we had done it through my wife's app and they helped me find everything in my linked account so I could pick up the order and find seating for all of us. They also happily gave us ice waters and helped us fill our bottles with cups of water. I also really appreciated the clean and fully stocked condiment cart too! All in all, very impressed with Disney foodservice!

    Usually get corn dogs here but today we got the fish and chips which was really good and huge portion! Friendly service and chill quick place to grab a quick bite to eat.

    Tossed Tenders

    Stage Door Café, located near the Golden Horseshoe, offers tossed chicken tenders with two flavor options. I tried the hot honey tenders, which are served over French fries. The portion size was generous for the price, Magic Key discounts apply, and mobile ordering is available. It's a nice change from the other park food options, I always enjoy trying their seasonal menu items when they're available. Want it punchier or more casual? If you want it a little more casual or more hyped-up for social media, I can tweak it

    I was craving corn dogs and a funnel cake. I was not happy with the corn dog because the breading kept coming off and it was so oily. I know it was deep fried but it is not worth it. It said home made batter and I didnt enjoy it. The funnel cake was okay. There wasnt a line or wait to get the food. The tables were not wiped down so I had to wipe down the tables and chair.

    The funnel cake with strawberries is a huge serving and a favorite. Pair it with a delicious corn dog and a soda for a perfect lunch in Disney. Service was excellent and efficient and found a nearby table to sit outside and enjoy the food while crowd watching.

    Strawberry Funnel Cake
    Jetrina M.

    We mobile ordered the strawberry funnel cake as a snack during a long Disney day. It was really really quickly after ordering and was exactly as described. The whipped cream was nice and cool in contrast to the hot funnel cake and worked well on a warm day. Only suggestion would be to have a little more strawberry topping as it was a little bland after finishing all the strawberry.

    Hand-dipped Corn Dog, Gravy Fries
    Sabrina C.

    I always come to stage door cafe for my favorite corn dogs in Disneyland. We also got the gravy fries and the hot honey chicken tenders. I enjoyed the corn dogs as always with the hot and crunchy batter. The gravy fries were very yummy but it didn't come with enough sauce. We also liked the hot honey tenders but they didn't stand out. Overall I like stagedoor cafe and I'll definitely be back for the corn dogs.

    This is a quick service restaurant at Disneyland. They serve all your favorite fried foods: funnel cakes, chicken tenders, french fries, and hand-dipped corn dogs. Hey, they never said it was "The Healthiest Place on Earth" after all! You will find Stage Door Café in Frontierland, right next to another restaurant The Golden Horseshoe. Seating is all outdoors, with several tables and umbrellas in the adjacent patio. It's a little difficult finding a spot, but not impossible. You might have to hover around and wait until someone leaves. They don't really clean surfaces too often, so bring wet wipes. You can also just walk inside The Golden Horseshoe and sit down at an open table. Order inside at the register. If there's a line or you prefer not to wait, open the Disneyland app and mobile order before you arrive. The menu is similar to The Golden Horseshoe, just missing a few items like the ice cream sundaes. I ordered the fish & chips, which came with tartar sauce. It tasted like previously frozen, recently microwaved food. The chips were soggy, but passable. The fish had a gummy texture and the batter could have been crispier. Doesn't compare to Three Broomsticks at Universal Studios or the Yorkshire County Fish Shop at Epcot. Wish they would bring back the mozzarella sticks!

    Dessert / Snacks - Strawberry Funnel Cake
    Ron R.

    *** Dessert Stop *** Strawberry funnel cake ... need I say more. Look at the photo. Order it using the mobile App. No wait and it comes to you still hot. The strawberries are sweet and the funnel cake is hot and crunchy in all the right places. Love it way better than a plain, boring ole' churro. Plus, it's big enough to share.

    Fried foods a plenty

    This Disney trip, all I was craving was FRIED FOODS. And I knew just where to go. STAGE DOOR!!!! I ended up trying: Corn Dog, Fish and Chips, Chicken Tenders & Fries, and the Mozzarella Sticks & Fries. All the food ended up hitting the spot!! I was surprised by how delicious the Fish and Chips were! Probably the best dish of the bunch. The corn dog was delicious as well which is what you can expect since Disney knows how to do corn dogs! The mozzarella sticks had the most perfect cheese pull and were well seasoned. Usually mozzarella sticks are either too salty or too bland, but these were perfect. The dish that felt slightly short was the chicken tenders. The chicken tenders themselves were on the dry side, although the seasoning was good. The fries were standard! Nothing crazy, but still good. They have an array of sauces so I had a blast dipping all my fried foods in different dipping sauces. Overall, pretty affordable and tasty fried food options can be found at Stage Door!

    Fish and Chips ~ $10.99

    Stage Door Cafe is in Frontierland in Disneyland, near the waterfront. The area where you actually order and pick up your food is just a small, old, wooden, saloon-like storefront with no tables. They sell funnel cake, fish and chips, chicken tenders, and plant based chili fries. I ordered the Fish and Chips ($10.99) through the mobile app, picked up, and brought the food across the way to the outdoor tables near River Belle Terrace. I didn't really enjoy the fish and chips. The fish batter was not crispy, but more chewy. The fish inside the batter was just okay, but overall, there was not much flavor. The tarter sauce it came with helped with flavor a little, but was just so so. The fries were a little better than the fish, but not that great also. The fish and chips were very unfulfilling and a bit disappointing. I'll probably order something else at Disneyland next time.

    Cinnamon-Chocolate Mexican Sweet Bread Funnel Cake
    Dan B.

    Perfect Midday Snack to recharge and keep going! During the Latin Heritage month, this is a new (and temporary) food item on the menu which is a delight. Pro Tip: smother the whipped cream over the funnel cake before eating. It's freshly made but some parts are drier than others. The spread whip cream will help! The bread does run dry so try to grab a drink with it- I would've gotten a hot coffee to pair with. The bread is beautiful but by itself doesn't have a particular taste. Shoutout to Disney cast members Chandra and Alé for helping me choose this option!

    Hand dipped corn dogs with fries and a coke
    Alissa M.

    Fried foodie fans welcome... The only requirement my boyfriend had for the day besides watching the fireworks was a Disneyland corn dog and this place delivered. Aside from corn dogs they offer chicken strips and fries, fish and chips and funnel cakes. I'm pretty sure the only non fried items are the goldfish crackers and the cuties included in the kid's meals, lol. It is definitely a popular spot since it's quick counter service plus they have mobile ordering. I can't believe in all my Disney trips over the years this was my first visit to this place. But I will definitely keep them in mind since he said the corn dog was really good and I caught a glimpse of the funnel cakes which looked delicious. Arteries beware!

    Do they still sell chicken tenders? Heard they're gone from all of Disneyland and DCA.

    They still sell them. What they stopped selling are the mozzarella sticks.

    The Blind Rabbit currently has its Great Gatsby theme in action with 1920's inspired décor and…read morespecial cocktail menu. It's in its final week, so we visited again to check it out. They always do a great job with decorating when they have a new theme in effect, and the Great Gatsby décor is no exception. The room is filled with lots of gold streamers, hanging gold light fixtures, art deco artwork, Roman columns, etc. Reservations are highly recommended. We checked in at the host stand with Emma who was very friendly. She seated us immediately at the bar as requested. We enjoy talking with the bartenders and watching them make drinks. Ruben was our bartender and he was excellent in all aspects. I started out with Between the Sheets from the Gatsby menu (rum, cognac, orange, lemon, $18). Rum and cognac is a great combo. This cocktail is spirit forward and well balanced. She started out with a Bartender's Reserve (you call the spirit and flavor profile, and the bartender crafts something special for you, $20). She gave parameters of no hard liquors like whiskey or cognac, not sweet, and not refreshing (i.e. no cucumber). Ruben made the most amazing gin based cocktail. Some of the ingredients he mentioned were plum, passion fruit, pineapple, lime, and a bit of chartreuse and soda. It was complex and perfectly balanced, with great flavors. We have been here many times, and he even served it in a unique tiki mug that we've never seen here before. Now it was my turn to put Ruben to the test. I also wanted a Bartender's Reserve, and I told him to use any spirit as long as the drink focuses on banana or apricot flavor. He went to work, and after a short time a beautiful frosted glass was served to me. I forget all of the ingredients he mentioned, but it was rye based with banana liqueur, a small foam top, and fresh shaved cinnamon on top. The banana was perfectly present with the rye at a nice level. This was a home run all the way. Of course, she wanted another magical creation, and Ruben went to work yet once again. She was served a beautiful yellow cocktail, and he even hand cut a little lemon fish garnish. It was mezcal based with yuzu, elderflower, mango, and lime. It was perfectly balanced, the smoke was at the perfect level, and again it had a great mix of flavors. There was some left over, and he even gave that to her in a chilled side bottle with its own baby's breath flower garnish. It's so fun to watch their bartenders create something from scratch, grabbing various bottles, mixing, tasting, adjusting, and then garnishing and serving. In addition to Ruben's delicious creations tonight, Adrian and Sergio have also made us delicious custom crafted cocktails on several occasions. We will definitely be returning soon for some of their new upcoming themes.

Not to get your hopes up or anything, but he makes your visit to this speakeasy an elaborate and awesome experience. We came here for a dear friend's birthday, so I had no expectations of the place- we just went to celebrate him! One thing of note: vegans beware! Eat before you come here! Our only option is hummus. Came for the drinks though, not the food. The ambiance is dimly lit to create the intimate vibe and there was a Great Gatsby theme. Not sure how often they change the theme but we'll be back soon to find out. Espresso martini was delicious, Across the Bay was delightful, but the ABSINTHE drinks were INCREDIBLE. Green Beast and Love You Better. Thank you Sergio for making Joe's 43rd birthday an unforgettable one.

The service is always on point, and it's truly a great experience from the moment you step through those doors. My favorite starter is the Ceviche Trilogy. It's one of their most popular appetizers, and for good reason because it is absolutely delicious. You get three different ceviches, and every single one is so flavorful and fresh. It's always been one of my favorites and has never disappointed. This summer, I also ordered the seasonal oysters for the first time, and WOW. They were so fresh and delicious that they're definitely up there with my favorite starters now. The three sauces that came with them were all so good, especially paired with the fresh lime. Such a simple dish, but everything together was perfect. For my favorite entrée, it has to be the Cowboy Steak with the cheesy scalloped potatoes. This is technically a dish that can be shared between two people, but honestly, it's more than enough for two! I always get the steak medium rare, and they cook it perfectly every single time. It's juicy, tender, and beautifully pink in the middle. The scalloped potatoes are also SO good and pair perfectly with the steak. My favorite side has always been the cream of corn. If you're a fan of sweeter corn, you have to try it. It's creamy, sweet, and just really comforting. And now, we have a new favorite dessert: the sticky pudding with ice cream. I've tried every dessert on the menu, and after trying this one on my most recent visit, it is by far my favorite. The warm sticky pudding with the ice cream is just so good. Definitely don't skip dessert! The ambiance at The Ranch is also part of what makes the experience so special. It has that beautiful, moody, low-lit atmosphere that feels elegant and upscale without being overly stuffy. It's not super loud, but it's not so quiet that you feel uncomfortable either. It's just the perfect environment for a nice dinner and conversation. The Ranch really is a full experience from beginning to end. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to have a really good dinner on a random weekend, I would absolutely recommend it. After 10 years of coming here, I can confidently say I'll never get tired of it. This will always be one of my favorite restaurants!
