I’ve been here way back on a May 1991 day trip from Camp Pendleton.
Fast forward to the last week of 2025. My wife made a mobile order for us to have dinner. Fortunately, there was some seating available. However, we had to clean our own table first, which the cast members are supposed to do. Anyway, we sat at a table with a good view of the “river.”
For food, I got the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and my wife got the classic cheeseburger with fries. Even though I prefer coleslaw with mayonnaise instead of vinegar, it was good as was everything else. My wife also got a hot cocoa which she says is the best hot cocoa she’s ever had. We finished dinner splitting the banana pudding.
I’ve been wanting to take my wife here for years. Now, it is another option on our next Disneyland trip.

Pretty hard to find seating when it is busy. The food was good but the portions where quite small for the price

Worst brisket I have ever had or maybe it was just leftovers from a few days ago.

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.
December 2025:
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.
October 2025:
Food: We had the BBQ brisket on the salad which needs more of the dressing on the salad but you can get BBQ sauce and ranch from the condiment bar to dress it up more. It was a good salad and the brisket was smokey and meaty. I love the corn ribs as this gives me my corn fix at Disney and they are a little less soft than the cart ear of corn. I also love the baked beans which tastes like the same recipe of the old “All You Can Eat BBQ” restaurant that existed Per-Galaxy’s Edge. Desert of the Banana Pudding equals a good Banana Pudding. Very solid dining experience for Disneyland.
Service: Disneyland Cast equals great service. Support your Disney Cast members with a Cast Compliment on the Disneyland app!
Atmosphere: I have to got to at least Florida to hear a Hungry Bear Jamboree but at least a Disneyland I can taste it. Great feeling and atmosphere and has some of those old Frontier Land BBQ restaurant vibes.
