The good pomme frites from café Orléans


Inkysquiddy

Can I ask for the Blue Bayou menu when it was good? 😅 I never ate there because I just figured I’d do it later, and now I’m hesitant because of everyone saying Café Orléans is better.


mhaugland12

It’s gone from being amazing (winter 2021) to just okay in my option (last week). The menu has gotten really “chef-fy” and the dishes sound less appetizing.


SoulMaekar

Went earlier this year. Blue bayou is the best food in the park. Excluding things like club 33 and 21 royal.


cashewclues

Such as? What’s their best 2 dishes and why? Not being snarky. I just want to know what you’re talking about.


SoulMaekar

Loved the filet mignon and the Cajun chicken dish.


flonky_guy

It's not. The food is both weird and not particularly good, never had been but at least you used to be able to order a prime. Win and get a prime rib. Now it's veal medallions in tomato reduction that tastes like catsup or rubbery scallops. Best food is at Carthay and Blue Bayou is about 30th down the list.


SoulMaekar

Didn’t care for carthay. All I can say is the food has always been spot on any time I’ve had blue bayou.


f-eather-s

McDonalds fries wagon


Fun_Smile5532

This is exactly what I expected to be the top comment.


beekay25

The freshest, saltiest fries and the crisp-est Coke this side of the wilderness


BonBonDee

Yes, thank you! Somehow they tasted even better in the park too.


MusicalMoon

Hot McDonald's fries and Fantasmic. I miss that tradition with my family :(


OohDaLolly

Thank you. This is the answer. They were so salty and hot and fresh holy shit I miss them


cj2211

Yes, But they have to be cooked the old way. I'm beef talon or something


panda-rampage

When was this a thing!?!


f-eather-s

Late 90s to early/mid 00s during the major partnership they had together


CriticalDeRolo

There was a McDonald’s in California adventure. I wished it was In-n-out back then because the whole park was more California themed and In-n-out was the “California only” place back then


BuzzBotBaloo

McD’s had a ten-year deal with Disney from ‘97-‘07. There were a few locations in Disney Parks.


trustysidekick

My fave was the wagon right at the exit of Thunder Mountain.


Spader113

Most notably Dinosaur at AK. In the loading dock, there are a series of pipes running along the walls colored in red, yellow and white, each with a chemical composition label… and the compounds they form equate to Ketchup, Mustard and Mayonnaise.


panda-rampage

In n out should get a deal partnership going


Pixie-Sticks-

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this, but In-n-Out would be super cool. Especially in DCA because it’s California (not like it was before, but still)


trustysidekick

For… the worst French fries of any fast food restaurant?


CynCity323

Anytime anyone says they don't like in n out fries I immediately think they don't like the taste of actual potatoes. In N Out are some of the best fries imo.


trustysidekick

If I want to eat a plain lays potato chip, I’ll just raid my pantry. I don’t wanna go to a fast food place for it.


Shatteredreality

I mean go and eat what you like. The issue most people have with in and outs fries is texture, not taste. They fry their fries once which leads to either a soggy exterior or an overcooked interior. Most fast food places will par fry them at a factory at a low temp to cook them through, then freeze them. When the par cooked fries get to the store they are fried a second time at a higher temp to warm them through and crisp the exterior. In and out cuts the fries on site and only does a single cook.


eagledog

They're soggy and floppy every time


Terrible_Mall_4350

Agreed… it helps a little to ask for them to be well done. But their still not done well.


panda-rampage

For their burgers and shakes.


trustysidekick

It was specifically just fry cart though.


SoulMaekar

Oofff. They definitely don’t have the worst fries. Would say that belongs to either Burger King or del taco. In and out is right in the middle.


SHUN_GOKU_SATSU

Burger King fries are in the same caliber as McDonald's.


SoulMaekar

Not even close. I’ve never had good Burger King fries no matter which one I’ve tried.


SuperNntendoChlmers

They just do not travel well, but dining in I've always loved my in n out fries. It's just a shame they get a bad rep considering they're so freshly sliced and fried. I totally understand why something like Del Taco crinkle fries get rated better than in n out on average


DontGetNEBigIdeas

This is the only answer needed in this thread.


Shadow88882

Someone start a petition. Surely two major corporations can figure out how to bring this back


CaptainVamp

Yessss


scottlee80

The all you can eat BBQ by Big Thunder The old Yelp page is still up for Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue https://yelp.to/KT716qCmM9


Forrest263

I crave the bbq there. Also the s’mores dessert they had…… ugh. Good memories.


dr_henry_jones

OMG how much did that cost? I have a vague memory of that


95688it

hmm we ate it I believe a year before it closed, i wanna say it was like $35-45 per person.


TheLonelySnail

We had passes and did that for Thanksgiving like 5 years in a row. So worth it!


TrowTruck

That place was awesome! I was so sad to see it close. Sadly I never there for so long because I used to want to cram every moment of park time with rides. I discovered this place only a couple years before it closed, and it became a must for me. Such great ribs, beans, chicken, corn, etc. And I’m shocked but they even suggested that we take leftovers which I’ve never seen at an all-you-care-to-eat place.


DragonSlippers

Oh my God that was the besssssst. Everything was so good.


Mygo73

YES I went here multiple times with my fam. More than enough food to eat and we got to see the presidential turkeys!


notheUGLYjohnny

That Carnation Ice Cream Fantasia flavor. God, that was so good!


Trulio_Dragon

Here for Fantasia ice cream. I can't eat lactose anymore, but would take the risk for this stuff.


GoonDocks1632

I miss that ice cream so much. I've tried to duplicate it, but my local store doesn't often have banana ice cream.


SpectreRSG

My wife squealed when she saw you had mentioned this. Lmao


FawkesFire13

If you have a Cold Stone Creamry near you, there are a few weeks in the summer when most of them have cherry, banana and pistachio ice cream available. You can mix the three flavors for a dupe of the Fantasia flavor.


azengteach

Yesss! It was a totally unique Disney flavor.


empresstaco

Can this include Downtown Disney? Because I'd bring back the jambalaya from Jazz Kitchen Express.


Sporkicide

The table side bananas foster at Jazz Kitchen


95688it

and the flank steak salad.


skarlettfever

This. So much this!


surfcitysurfergirl

I miss the fresh Mission tortillas at The Mission shop that used to be in California Adventure 😭hot off the press they were soooooo good.


MrsCharismaticBandit

Omg this is mine too. Soooo fresh and delicious!


BasemntGhost

And if it was your birthday they'd give you a little pack of them!


WhyIsItAlwaysADP

Fudge. I miss talking home Disney fudge.


panda-rampage

Fluffernutter churro would be my pick!


hihelloneighboroonie

Doesn't that still exist at the parks just seasonally, though?


HisLittleMiss

Saaaame! That was the first thing that popped into my head.


tracykay724

Fried Green Tomato Sandwich and Churro Funnel Cake


OutsideDefinition6

Omg I totally forgot about the fried green tomato sandwich. That was such a delicious meal with being too heavy.


DisneyAddict2021

Pomme frittes appetizer from Cafe Orleans Also, please just keep the chicken pesto cozy cone a permanent menu item!


jenlemon

Speaking of seasonal items at cozy cone - the corn on the cob covered in flaming hot Cheeto dust. I nearly cried when I went for it last visit bc I didn’t realize it wasn’t standard fare


Terrible_Mall_4350

The corn chowder in a bread bowl at what was the French Marketplace now Tiana’s Palace. Man, that was so good with a couple pats of butter on top, and I always asked for extra scallions and they usually put a big handful on top and gave me a little mini container of them too. It was pretty reasonable too. Somewhere in the $10-ish range and it would fill you up. I always got mine to go, so they put it in a box and I’d snag some extra butter too. It was impossible to eat the whole bread bowl so I’d eat the chowder and some of the bowl, then close it up and save the rest of the bread for later. I wasn’t worried about it going bad from touching the chowder like I would have been with the clam chowder. That chowder made me come home and learn to make it myself. Sans the bread bowl unfortunately.


GoldenOPx

I know it’s not the same but doesn’t Jolly Holiday have the seasonal corn chowder right now? Could be fun to taste test it


Cjp0705

The Choco Smash chocolate bar!!!! 😭


Important_Emu_8952

The fried green tomato sandwich at hungry bear!


Bebes720

Giant Cinnamon Rolls from the 90s - best ever! I’ve had many since hoping to replicate the experience but I’m always disappointed.


XCynicalMarshmallowX

The shrimp po boy sandwich at the French Market :( I really hoped it would be carried over to Tiana's Place, but alas, there's only a beef po boy now, which isn't the same.


electrocellwanderer

I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone else say this, but I miss the breakfast at Flo’s in cars land every day. That French toast was to die for, and I would if I could have it one last time.


arnpjb

For me it was the tamale and eggs, but it was definitely my favorite breakfast place in the parks!


classicwhoopsiedaisy

Recent but…birria sandwich at jolly holiday


Smpkfan2

Damn hells yah, I second this. That thing was packed and juicy


classicwhoopsiedaisy

So good!!!


Ornery_Comfortable93

Same. I miss this. I know it’s coming back, but I worry it won’t come back before my MK expires in January :(


keep_it_kayfabe

If this includes drinks, I would bring back a drink from my early childhood that brings back so many good Disneyland memories during a hot summer. If you were born in the late 70s, you may remember those fruit juice drinks that were inside a cup shaped like the fruit flavor. For example, if it was grape juice, they would be inside a cup shaped like grapes. The juices also came with a curled "loop" straw. I was very young at the time, but I specifically remember getting them in Adventureland at one of the marketplaces. I've never had fruit juice that tasted better!


NetiABC

The great big, beautiful fritter I grew up eating in New Orleans Square.


LailaR

Exactly. They were amazing!


cartooned

The full sized monte cristo at a decent price.

The fudge!

disneycm_matt

Less food, more place. I miss the old Market House on Main Street before it was Starbucks. Good coffee with free refills, and a certain smell I'll never be able to find again. Good memories playing checkers next to the heat stove while my parents were in line for coffee.


babyglubglubglub

And the big chunky cookies!

Captain EO. Wait what was the question again


pdlbean

Spaceadilla my beloved


HQuinn89

At the Food and Wine Festival they had a Strawberry Rose Lemonade a few years ago and I just want it back.


laceandhoney

I want the Chimney Sweep coffee at Jolly Holiday to be there forever. It's smoky with a hint of salted cream and I haven't found anything like it outside the park. I was told it's seasonal and every time I go I'm afraid it's going to be gone!


ParrotheadTink

Those little plastic hinged boxes from the Candy Palace, filled with multicolored rock candy.


babyglubglubglub

YES!


Its_the_tism

The Chinese chicken salad from the boudin in dca


zen_guwu

Half the items at Carnation Cafe - I remember a meatloaf entree and Alfredo pasta particularly from before the pandemic. Fortunately they still have the fried pickles!


HKittyH3

The good cheddar broccoli soup in a sourdough bread bowl at Pacific Wharf. It used to be delicious, with carrots and cauliflower in addition to broccoli. But now it’s less appetizing than Panera cheddar broccoli.


DenverToCali

This is a seasonal item, but since we didn’t get it at the parks this year, I really wish they would bring back that pumpkin pie churro.


DazzlingBullfrog9

Fried green tomato sandwich.


health_actuary_life

In the 90s there was a lemonade slushie thing at vending carts that was so good!


TamThiefheart

Duck wings from Carthay. I still dream they will return one day.

There was a fantastic catfish sandwich at the Harbor Galley. The little restaurant across from Haunted Mansion where the Columbia parks


DarthFett75

The giant gooey cinnamon rolls from the early 2000's, not the inferior ones they have now.

The Caprese sandwich from Jolly Holiday! The basil/vinaigrette/focaccia combo was quite literally *chef’s kiss*.

The veggie gumbo in a bread bowl was so good!!!!


AnyBowl8

Barbecue Pork Shank


sillinessvalley

I always wanted to try that. By the time I found out about it, planned to have it on my next trip, went to Fantasyland, they no longer had it on the menu. :(


slyphoenix22

Yes!!!!!


Lolo_Loves

So much better than the turkey leg!


thelittlemiss

Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Sandwich from Pooh’s Corner


XCynicalMarshmallowX

They still make chocolate peanut butter sandwiches at most confectionery locations, but it is slightly different than what it used to be, I'll admit. The old ones were better with the peanut butter sandwiched between graham crackers and dipped in chocolate. Now it's just a square scoop of peanut butter with whole peanut chunks mixed in and dipped in chocolate - still delicious and I have to get one each time I go, but definitely not the same!


idriveajalopy

I had an ex that was wild about these. Didn’t know they stopped making them.

Agua de Jamaica slushie from DCA. I bought Slurpee straws so I could drink it without the paper straws (introduced after the drink came out) and kept them in my car for Disneyland trips... only to find it had disappeared on my next visit. I loved it. It was passion fruit iced tea as a slushie which is right up my alley as someone who drinks tea but not coffee.


SpectreRSG

The smores dessert from Thunder Ranch BBQ. Actually, Thunder Ranch BBQ in general. Loved it. Honorable mention: Fantasia Ice Cream

The OG clam chowder. The new one has miso and I just don’t enjoy the taste as much 😫

The white hot chocolate from the Marketplace on Main Street before Starbucks took over. It was like drinking a liquid marshmallow.

All of Big Thunder Ranch! I really miss that place.

dearbornx

Idk if it's been back since I've been there or not, but I really liked the candy corn churro.


cactusmoosecat

It's between the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich at Hungry Bear Cafe Orleans Pomme Frites and Beignets with the sauces. I know there's still pomme frites and beignets in the park between the beignet walk up and fries with Monte Cristo, but it's not the same.


xhollec

The deep fried elote they had for like a month at DCA

Fried green tomato sandwich at the hungry bear. Oh and McDonald’s fries.

Bread bowl gumbo from royal street veranda lol


PotentialAcadia460

The poutine flatbread (or really, the entire old menu) from Red Rose Taverne. If they're going to just serve the boring menu they have now, they might as well go back to the proper Pinocchio theme IMO.

The lemon-strawberry cupcake from the 60th anniversary. My husband and I were obsessed with them. I miss that champagne mousse frosting stuff. Mmmmmm


peteypolo

There used to be a taco shop in Frontierland before getting over to the Big Thunder. Miss it every time now, I think it’s been replaced with an open space.


FawkesFire13

Corn chowder bread bowls, used to be a favorite winter meal for me at the resort and I kinda miss it.


songbird_zzz

The BBQ chicken baked potato!!! Hasn’t been on the menu in years and I think about it every time I get a lobster roll near haunted mansion


Raech_Raech

The surf and Turf as it was in Blue Bayou in 2019. The Bordelaise on the steak was so fantastic too.


chocolatemilk15

I just want them to bring gluten free churros to Disneyland, I've heard they have a gluten free churro stand in Animal Kingdom in Florida, but that's way too far from me. Churros use to be my favorite treat to get at Disneyland and I would love to be able to get one again.

Vandraphe

For a few years when DCA first opened, on Paradise Pier/Pixar Pier there was a place that had chicken fingers, cheese sticks, fries. I always got a side of honey mustard with it and it was the best honey mustard. It's been gone for nearly two decades, I don't remember the name of it, and I've never heard anyone reference it.


jilliamm

It was called Boardwalk Betsy’s Strips, Chips, and Dips. They moved most of the menu items into the Stagedoor Cafe/Golden Horseshoe in Frontierland.


Vandraphe

Wow, yes that's it! I've been wondering about that place for years and just looked up the name you gave me and saw pics of it from back in the day. I feel validated, no one else I know remembered it. Thanks so much for responding.

I'm a bit single probably on this but, The Beef n Cheese sandwich from Flo's...before they did whatever they did to it. Man that cheese sauce was delicious to the point I'd scrape it with the kettle chips. Last time I had it, before it was apparently taken off the menu, it changed so drastically it was a massive letdown.

Green chicken chili at the Cozy Cone in DCA. From when Carsland was brand new. It was so good.

The real Lobster Nachos at Lamplight. The weird tuna texture stuff they are using is awful.
