There are nine wonderful lands found within Disneyland Park. Within those realms of enchantment, you'll find attractions, characters and — one of our favorite things — delicious food choices. Every trip, we like to hop over to one of our favorite Disneyland quick-service restaurants to grab a bite of tasty food to refuel and recharge. Restaurants and offerings are always changing, and we toadally love to try new dishes and restaurants. Let's take a look at the best Disneyland quick-service restaurants in each of the park's lands.

New Orleans Square
Tiana's Palace
The French Market set sail to make way for Tiana's Palace. The comfort food has a Cajun and Creole twist in this New Orleans Square quick-service restaurant. We have a detailed post with pictures of all the food, but we'll go over a few favorites here. We recommend ordering in person and getting plated fresh food rather than mobile ordering, which is packaged to go.
You start out with dessert at Tiana's Palace – beignets! Then take your tray along cafeteria style to order delicious House Gumbo, Shrimp and Grits, a Cajun-spiced Half Chicken, sandwiches and more. There's a plant-based 7 Green Gumbo, some tasty sides and a few kids options, such as macaroni and cheese or a roasted chicken drumstick.
Royal Street Veranda
Located just outside of Pirates of the Caribbean, the Royal Street Veranda serves up soup in sourdough bread bowls. I am a sucker for soup (or anything really) in a bread bowl! The flavors change seasonally, but Clam Chowder in a bread bowl is a year-round staple. You can also grab a Monte Cristo sandwich (without sides).
Harbour Galley
If you are drooling for clam chowder in a bread bowl, get it quicker with a mobile order. Harbour Galley, across from the Haunted Mansion and near the dock for Sailing Ship Columbia, serves up this popular dish. In addition to the chowder, you'll find good eats such as seasonal seafood rolls! You can also get other soups or stews as well as the very popular, warm chocolate chip cookies!
Mint Julep Bar
You can get your nonalcoholic mint julep around the corner from at Tiana's Palace at the Mint Julep Bar. It's where you'll also find the famous Mickey-shaped beignets, which are a better deal than the lemon beignet if you need to feed a family on a budget. You'd better save some room for dessert!
Hop tip: Lean forward and do not inhale when biting into a Mickey beignet. Otherwise, you'll be accidentally wearing and breathing powdered sugar!
Bayou Country
Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree
Just past New Orleans Square is where you'll find the newly refurbished Bayou Country and Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree. This restaurant is tucked away along the water. The dining area is one of the more peaceful and scenic places to eat in the park. We choose a table closer to the Rivers of America and wave to guests sailing by on the Mark Twain Riverboat or Sailing Ship Columbia. Enjoy a new menu with barbecue offerings, burgers, chicken tenders, banana pudding, funnel fries and flavored lemonades. This location has gluten-free and plant-based burgers as well.
Main Street U.S.A.
Jolly Holiday Bakery Café
Come parade time, Lily loves to hop into the Jolly Holiday for a Jolly Holiday Combo: a very tasty toasted cheese sandwich and tomato soup. For our family, it is a great deal because it is big enough for Lily and Mommy Frog to share! And one of my personal favorites is the seasonal, protein packed Birria toasted cheese with a side of consommé. There are also other delicious deli sandwiches, seasonal toasted cheese sandwiches and treats.
It's a great location to pick up seasonal treats, but some of our favorites are always there such as the raspberry rose Mickey macaron or the Matterhorn macaroon. We like to get there before a parade so that we can watch the parade go by as we eat. No wonder it's Jolly Holiday Bakery Café that we love! Jolly Holiday Bakery Café is also open for breakfast. Start your day with Egg and Bacon Croissants, cinnamon rolls, muffins and more.
Refreshment Corner
This little spot at the end of Main Street U.S.A. is also known as Coke Corner. It has chili, mac and cheese and a combo of the two (our favorite!) in a bread bowl. You can also get hotdogs and seasonal items here. But did you know you can get a Mickey Mouse pretzel here even cheaper than the pretzel carts (and apply any discounts you may have)? Good deal! One of our top items is a secret menu item, the Firefly. It is a bag of corn chips, chili, cheese and jalapeños. It's the best value for a hearty snack.
Plaza Inn
If you want some of the tastiest fried chicken you’ve ever had, then hop on into the Plaza Inn. This buffet-style restaurant also offers other comfort foods such as pastas, salads and a healthy sustainable fish option. In the morning, it offers a character dining breakfast.
Be sure to make reservations if you want to attend character dining at breakfast. This location also offers Parade Dining Packages for lunch, which you can reserve in advance.
Adventureland
Bengal Barbecue
If you need more than a snack but aren’t quite looking for a full meal, then the best deal to fill you up (and on a budget, too!) is the Bengal Barbecue. It's sweet or spicy beef, chicken or pork and asparagus skewers are packed with protein and flavor. There's always a plant based option on the menu as well. We covered these in our blog post on the cheapest food at Disneyland.
Tropical Hideaway
Also in Adventureland, Tropical Hideaway is one of our favorite snack spots. In addition to its flavors of Dole Whip and floats, this stand offers bao buns and seasonal items for an adventurous treat.
Tomorrowland
Galactic Grill
The Galactic Grill's menu may be more domestic than out-of-this-world, but it's a great place to find a burger, fries, quick salad or even plant-based meals. The newish fish and chips are pretty good too. The tadpoles are comfortable with a familiar hamburger or mac and cheese. Tad loves the seasonal slush and tea flavors.
If you came in on an early arrival, this is a great spot to grab a quick breakfast in the morning. The bacon and sausage or plant based burritos make for a great morning breakfast on the go. At the end of the day, keep an eye out for the Late Night Dinner Menu, which appears seasonally.
Alien Pizza Planet
The little green aliens from the "Toy Story" movies took over Tomorrowland's Redd Rockett's Pizza Port and have permanently transformed it into Alien Pizza Planet. And everyone agrees it's a better place. It offers out-of-this-world salads, pasta and pizzas. The tadpoles go for space-getti with meatballs when they tire of chicken tenders and fries.
We're big on the greens — colorful salads. You can find good gluten-free pizza, dairy-free pizza and plant-based dishes here. Be sure to pick up a themed macaron, which is almost too cute to eat. Almost!
Frontierland
Rancho del Zocalo
For a taste of local Mexican food, check out Rancho del Zocolo for burritos, tacos and more. This is a hidden gem that's tucked away in Frontierland. The hard part is deciding what to order. It's all so authentically good. This is also the least-expensive restaurant to offer a Fantasmic! dining package.
Toddlers can enjoy arroz con pollo or arroz can frijoles. By the way — check out our toddler tips on bringing a baby to Disneyland to make your day with your little one a sweet success. You can wash it all down with a refreshing blended horchata!
Golden Horseshoe/Stage Door Café
If chicken fingers and fries are a must for your tadpole, Lily recommends the Golden Horseshoe or the Stage Door Café for Disneyland quick-service meals. You can also get fish and chips. The two locations share a kitchen, with slight variation in offerings.
Outside seating has a view of the water, but if seating is full, head inside the Golden Horseshoe and up the stairs. You can almost always find free tables upstairs and the AC is a nice bonus.
The tadpoles like to sit at the special tables on either side of the stage. Save room for dynamite desserts such as ice cream sundaes in the Golden Horseshoe.
Fantasyland
Red Rose Taverne
The Red Rose Taverne in Fantasyland is "Beauty and the Beast"-themed and filled with murals, furniture and special details, such as stacks of dishes and rose-stained glass windows. Hop in and be their guest for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The food here can be described as American with a French flair. Find flatbreads and burgers, salads and more. For dessert, the dishes recommend the Grey Stuff (a white chocolate mousse and red velvet cake with a raspberry center). It's delicious!
You can also find some plant-based items here. We love the plant-based Little Town Harvest Bowl (now served with fried instead of tots), which is available all day long. The Fantasyland Faire Folds are the newest and most popular item, which includes burgers or chicken with hash browns, sauce and more wrapped in a flour tortilla.
Be sure to hop by for breakfast to get Mickey-shaped pancakes, a breakfast Fantasyland Faire Fold and more.
Maurice's Treats and Edelweiss Snacks
Both of these small quick-service stops offer the highly popular Cheesy Garlic Pretzel Bread. We also really like the Cheesy Garlic Pretzel Bread with bratwurst (served all-day, seasonally at Edelweiss and year-round, only after 11 a.m. at Maurice's Treats). Yum! You'll find the iconic Disneyland Turkey Leg over at Edelweiss Snacks.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge has two quick-service restaurants (plus a couple unique drink and snack stands). Both locations are open for lunch and dinner, plus Ronto Roasters serves one of our favorite breakfast items, the Morning Ronto Wrap. The two locations offer Mobile Order service and serve themed specialty juice blends.
Docking Bay 7
Docking Bay 7 is very large and has extremely cool themed dining spaces inside plus a nice outdoor patio. We had a chance to try almost everything on the menu and definitely have some favorites in the lunch and dinner categories. There are always fun and unique seasonal items joining the menu. The tastes and themes are definitely out of this world.
For lunch and dinner, try the Fried Chicken Baos, Endorian Chicken Tip-Yip or exciting seasonal items. There are great vegetarian options and kids' meals, as well, as long as your tadpoles are adventurous eaters. The plant based Felucian Kefta Garden Spread, made with Impossible meatballs, is superb. The desserts are colorful and perhaps the fanciest desserts we've ever seen in a theme park.
Ronto Roasters
The other hot spot, Ronto Roasters, has a more limited menu of street fare. When you are shopping the Market, you can't miss the giant spits of ronto meat being heated by a podracer engine. A droid keeps the meat evenly cooked on all sides. The big menu item is the Ronto Wrap — a soft pita filled with roasted pork, tangy slaw, peppercorn sauce and thin pork sausage. The Ronto Wrap is quite tasty, although it does have a spicy kick.
Check out the plant-based version, the Ronto-less Garden wrap, available all day long. There is an additional Breakfast Ronto Wrap in the morning with eggs and cheese (so good!), plus a couple delicious, nonalcoholic drink concoctions. There are a few tables to sit at and enjoy your food (plus more seating at the nearby Docking Bay 7), but you can also enjoy these items on the go.
Mickey's Toontown
Café Daisy
This sidewalk table eatery serves up diner classics in a reimagined Mickey's Toontown. The tadpoles are sure to love their options. You can eat at a table or take your food to the lawn to have a picnic!
This quick-service restaurant features cheese and pepperoni Flop-Overs (kind of like a pizza folded in half with herbs), hotdogs and a yummy vegetarian wrap. For the tadpoles, get mac and cheese or chicken tenders.

We have a whole post on kid-friendly foods at Disneyland. Many of the Disneyland quick-service restaurants have gotten even quicker with Mobile Order.
