Hands down, the Hungry Bear Restaurant is my family's absolute favorite place to eat lunch. All meals are around the $10 mark and the burgers, chicken sandwiches and fried green tomato sandwich include amazing sweet potato fries or slaw. Drinks and desserts are extra. The onion rings are amazing.



This restaurant always has always has ample seating, even on crowded days, which is ideal for families who need to eat NOW. Service can be slow, and for that reason, we usually bring food (or at least snacks) for the kids for that very reason.



Downstairs is one of the largest restroom facilities in the park with two changing areas. The best part of the downstairs area is the cool shade that is always a slice of heaven during the summer months. My children love sitting down there and feeding the ducks, so remember to bring old bread from home.

I can't believe I'm writing a review of a Disneyland restaurant. Except this ain't your mama's Disneyland restaurant - it's a very high end joint that serves, roughly, California/European style cuisine, accompanied by a huge selection of the best wines in the state.



Get anything with scallops, and pair it with one of their great salads, and their freshly baked bread. I walked away extremely impressed - we were so jonesing for great food and never thought we'd get it in the Grand Californian Hotel. Not inexpensive, but worth the splurge. You can bring the kids, but wouldn't it be great to have someone babysit them by the pool while you have a romantic evening for two?
