Our family of five (4 adults, 1 toddler) Had the pleasure of dining at The Blue Bayou this past Saturday evening. We were really looking forward to a nice sit-down dinner after a fun-filled but long, hot day in the park, and The Blue Bayou did not disappoint! Between the five of us, we had 3 hurricane cocktails and 1 Mocktail, 2 Watermelon and tomato salads, 2 Ribeye entrées, 2 Market fish entrées and 1 Sautéed shrimp meal from the children’s menu. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our selections and were quite impressed with the attention to dietary restrictions (gluten & dairy for two diners In our party). It was so refreshing to see a fish entrée on the menu that was not only gluten and dairy compliant, but also absolutely delicious (with a sauce that I can’t wait to re-create at home!)! We were thrilled to see a children’s menu that had “real” food on it, and not just macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, etc. Our youngest diner, my 2 1/2 year-old granddaughter, loves shellfish, and she devoured her sautéed shrimp, rice, and fruit plate! We also found the portions to be quite substantial and opted to skip dessert. Service was impeccable and we were seated within minutes of our 5:50 PM reservation time. While the restaurant is pricey (almost $400 for our meal outlined above), We really appreciated having this dining option available to us, instead of the usual fast food selections at most amusement parks. Thank you, Blue Bayou staff, for a wonderful meal and dining experience!

We visited Disney's California Adventure Park for the first time on 6/8/2023. My son has atypical Celiac Disease and needs to eat a gluten free diet. We were delighted that this park provides some gluten free options so we did not have to haul around all our own food. At the Smokejumpers Grill, my son ate a Gluten-free Double Cheeseburger with two Angus Beef Patties, Smoked Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle Slices, and Grilled Onion. We asked for no Sauce and no Bun. The hamburger was served on shredded lettuce, which was fine because my son usually separates hamburgers before eating them. He also had the Crinkle-cut Fries. Now, if you have a citrus allergy, please know that most restaurants in the park sell Cuties® Mandarin Oranges. If you have a citrus allergy like I do, eat lunch or dinner early, before everyone else, so you are not exposed to the citrus scents, and sit far to the left outside so you are upwind and the wind will blow the citrus scent away from you. If you have 25+ allergies like me, this is a great restaurant to sit at because its closer to the park entrance. I cannot eat out due to the long allergy list, so I have to keep my food in the lockers by the entrance. From this restaurant I was able to head off to the lockers, get out my packed allergy friendly food, come back and sit with my family to eat, and then put all my items back in the locker before heading out for more rides. This was the only allergy friendly restaurant close enough to the lockers for me to eat a meal with my family.

My visit to the Hungry Bear Restaurant in Disneyland was quite enjoyable, despite the hustle and bustle typical of a busy theme park. While the atmosphere was a tad chaotic, which is to be expected, the efficiency of the staff impressed me. Despite the long lines, we swiftly found seating, placed our order, and received our food promptly, all prepared just as we requested. I recommend the burger, chicken tenders, and onion rings – delicious choices! Plus, it's worth noting their gluten-free options, catering to various dietary needs. Overall, the Hungry Bear Restaurant did a commendable job of providing a satisfying dining experience amidst the excitement of Disneyland. Four stars well-deserved!

Honestly think this is THE best dinner buffet between both Land and World. SO nice to have fresh green options (4 salads!), fresh fruit outside of breakfast and several meat carvings to choose from. Very gluten free friendly!!

This was our family’s favorite place for lunch in the parks. Plenty of options and we got the Low and Slow club standard and gluten-free option. I would have ate this every day for lunch if I had known it would have been best sandwich in park. Also highly recommend the chili mango margarita it was best cocktail our entire time in Anaheim. Several options for food for kids and refreshments for adults when things get stressful. This is a must stop eatery in Cars Land!!
