Top 5 Highest Rated Disneyland Quick Service Restaurants

Share This!

Not sure where to eat in Disneyland? We’re here to help. Today we’re going to take a look at the top 5 highest rated quick service restaurants, as rated by you and your fellow TouringPlans and Unofficial Guide to Disneyland readers. Keep in mind this list only includes quick service restaurants. No full service locations or outdoor vending carts (some of which may rank higher in our surveys) will be on this list.

#5 Cafe Daisy – Mickey’s Toontown

Rating: 93% thumbs up

Summary: Daisy Duck themed walk up window in Mickey’s Toontown.

House Specialties: Hot dogs, pizza flop-overs, wraps, warm mini donuts.

Comments: New to the top 5 is Cafe Daisy, which is Toontown’s main dining option. Cafe Daisy’s popularity could be due to lower than average prices when compared to other quick service dining locations, as well as a menu filled with crowd pleasing items.

#4 Bengal Barbecue – Adventureland

Rating: 93% thumbs up

Summary: Skewers, skewers, skewers. It’s hard not to notice the irresistible smell of barbecued meat wafting through Adventureland. The sauce they put on the Banyan Beef Skewer is so good, you’ll want to drink it.

House Specialties: Beef, chicken, and vegetable skewers

Comments: Bengal Barbeque dominated the top 5 highest rated Disneyland restaurant list for over 6 years. It’s slipped a bit but it’s still comfortably in the top 5. Skewers are small, but prices are around $7. The bacon-wrapped asparagus and Polynesian chicken skewers are best, proving the old adage that everything tastes better on a stick. Portions have shrunk noticeably over the years, but this is still a good fast food alternative to the dine-in options inside the park.

#3 Ronto Roasters – Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge

Rating: 94% thumbs up

Summary: A disgruntled smelting droid named 8D-J8 does the cooking here, turning alien meats on a rotating spit as they roast underneath a recycled podracing engine. The pita sandwiches, dressed with tangy slaw and spicy szechuan peppercorn “clutch sauce,” are our favorite snack in Batuu. Wash it down with a tart Tatooine Sunset melon and blueberry limeade.

House Specialties: Ronto Wrap (flatbread sandwich filled with roasted pork and grilled Portuguese sausage), nonalcoholic fruit punch.

Comments: Ronto Roaster‘s wrap can be quickly obtained and eaten on the go, they’re relatively cheap, and they taste great. We do enjoy the regular Ronto Wrap with its roasted pork, grilled pork sausage, peppercorn sauce, and tangy slaw, the Ronto-less Garden Wrap (Plant-based Sausage, spicy Kimchi Slaw, sweet Pickled Cucumber, Plant-based Gochujang Spread, wrapped in Pita) is also very good. We also think the Ronto Morning Wrap (Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Pork Sausage, Shredded Cheddar, Peppercorn Sauce, wrapped in Pita) is one of the best breakfast items in the park.

#2 Jolly Holiday Bakery – Main Street, U.S.A.

Rating #95 thumbs up

Summary: Themed to Mary Poppins, with stained glass windows featuring penguin waiters, this is a good spot for a light breakfast or lunch, though lines can grow long at peak mealtimes. Seating is outdoors only.

House Specialties: Tons of seasonal baked goods and treats, Jolly Holiday Combo (grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup).

Comments:  Jolly Holiday Bakery remains a favorite thanks to a menu that is continuously refreshed with new seasonal items and returning favorites for the park’s various celebrations. The beloved Jolly Holiday Combo remains a favorite with Disneyland visitors, as does the legendary Matterhorn Macaroon.

#1 Tropical Hideaway – Adventureland 

Rating #98 thumbs up

Summary: Tropical Hideaway is more of a seating area rather than a full-blown quick service restaurant. There’s nothing spectacular to be found, but what is there is charming and nicely themed. There’s multiple kinds of Dole Whip to try at Tropical Hideaway, including orange, raspberry, classic pineapple, and frequently changing seasonal flavors.

House Specialties: Dole Whip, sweet lumpia, bao with bulgogi beef, chicken, or loco moco.
Comments: We’ve heard rumors that Disneyland visitors are leaning more towards cheaper outdoor vending carts and snack stands for their food purchases while visiting Disneyland and DCA. This practice saves a lot money, especially if you have a large family or are on a tight budget. This rumor is not hard to believe. Look at the lines at every pretzel, popcorn and snack stand next time you’re in the parks. They’re much longer than they were a year or two ago. We also believe this may be why a place like Tropical Hideaway made the top spot in our surveys when it didn’t even make the top five before a couple of years ago.  Tropical Hideaway not only has multiple varieties of the legendary Dole Whip, but it also has delicious bao buns that are cheaper than a full meal from a restaurant.

  • This makes me want to go back to Disneyland right now! I loved Tangaroa Terrace and Flo’s V8 Café. I also loved The Hungry Bear Restaurant.

    Agreed – I LOVE Bengal BBQ for a snack or a meal. Thanks for the list! (p.s. “Summary” is spelled with an a… recovering middle school English teacher here…)
