Blue Bayou Restaurant Anaheim Reviews
Book your Disneyland park reservation, done.
Now countdown at least 60 days, and you have a table waiting for you at the Blue Bayou Restaurant. Home of some southern inspired dishes, with California trademarks. Located inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, how can you not hear the closing credits of the 2003 film with Klaus Badelt's score, while you dine with style and class. Reserve your table today and start the countdown.
We're so happy that we were finally able to eat here.
We joined the walk-up wait list a little after 9:00. We had a 15 minutes wait for a party of 4. I think the fact that Fantasmic was going on at the same time really helped us get in. The inside of the restaurant is very romantic with bistro lights and candle lit tables, but still feels relatively casual. We sat one row back from from the water and Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and had a pretty good view of everything. The food was delicious. We ordered the dinner portioned Gumbo (secret menu item) and the Pistachio Lemon Basil Pasta (with shrimp added). We loved both. The gumbo is the same gumbo that's served at Tiana's. So if you want the same dish for a lower price, you can get it there. But the ambiance at Blue Bayou made it worth it for us to splurge a little bit. We've been wanting to eat at here for the last few years, and it was definitely worth the wait.

Our favorite restaurant at Disney! Food is amazing, not just for theme park standard! Had the ribeye today, perfectly prepared and flavorful. Dessert was excellent as well. Unbeatable atmosphere! Only challenge is that it's nearly impossible to book!
A Disappointing Dinner at One of Our Favorite Restaurants
Every time we plan a trip to Disneyland, we include dinner at the Blue Bayou restaurant. There truly is no better ambience, especially sitting by the river of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. However, our visit on September 4, 2025 was surprisingly disappointing Drinks, I ordered a hurricane, were tasty, though perhaps a bit light on the alcohol. My daughter and I ordered the only vegetarian option on the menu, which was vegan. It was a pasta dish that was nothing special, and since it was vegan, there was no cheese. My future son in law ordered filet mignon. It came barely warm and with no side of veggies that was supposed to be included. The same happened with my wife who ordered the rib eye steak. It arrived almost room temperature, as did the baked potato on her plate. No butter, no sour cream. We had to ask our server to get the condiments and sides that should have come with the orders. He seemed very casual and almost unconcerned, more focused on smiling and being happy. My dessert was supposed to be a creme brulee tart, but there was very little of it that resembled creme brulee. A tart? Yes, but it was more like a cross between a cheesecake and cake than anything even masquerading as creme brulee. My wife's pistachio cheesecake was not very flavorful, and she could not finish it. For a complete dinner that cost us a little over $400, I expected much more! Ambience cannot make up for mediocre food and service.
5 Stars
This place is so good and the server frazier is the best and if you’re lucky enough to get him he is the best one here. Give him a raise disney.
My friends and I were lucky to snag a lunch reservation
My friends and I were lucky to snag a lunch reservation during our Disney day. The decor is cute. You wait for your table in a comfortable foyer with cushioned seats. The restaurant itself is dimly lit and cool - a great way to cool off in the middle of the day. You are in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, but the riders aren't disruptive to the atmosphere as they waft past you. I got the gumbo appetizer. It was either 6oz or 8oz. It was delicious but could be very salty without the rice. I made sure to have rice in every bite. I also had the crab cakes appetizer. It came with 2 crab cakes and a side salad. The crab cakes were "very crabby" to quote my friend. It was light and a good choice to have. The cast members working at this location were all phenomenal and attentive. They stopped by several times without promoting to fill up our drinks, inquire about our needs, and generally be helpful.
What a disappointment.
I made reservations the minute I was able online two months before our trip. We showed up on time at 7:10 to be left waiting for 30 minutes. We then were sat at a back corner table with a view of people sitting on the floor staring at us waiting their turn, while also in direct line of the kitchen and all the staff constantly walking past. Could not see the water or any ambiance at all. When we asked the person who sat us about possibly getting a different table she rudely said "It will be at least another 30 minutes or more for a water view" as if we were completely worthless. We talked amongst ourselves and decided that dropping $400 on a dinner for what we were presented with was not worth our dime or time. As we started to get up another staff member stopped to ask why we were leaving and we told her. She was kind and said she didn't blame us as it is the worst table in the restaurant. I left in tears as this dinner was part of a celebration of life for my mother. I know it was luck of the draw to be seated there in such a highly sought after establishment but shame on them for placing that table (and the one next to it) there in a attempt to gouge more money from us visitors that already paid thousands upon thousands of dollars to be at the park. They could care less about people, they only care about the cash.
Great service, solid food, and magical atmosphere! Glad I
Great service, solid food, and magical atmosphere! Glad I booked this during my Disney Run Vacation!

We finally decided to try the coveted restaurant inside the Pirates of Caribbean ride. It's a nice break from the outdoor heat wave. The ambiance inside is dark and cool. I have mixed feelings because my food was good but the kids chicken tender plate was pretty sad as you can see in my pictures (they just threw some grapes on the plate with 2 skinny tenders and a tiny scoop of rice). It is obviously overpriced and the prices are on par with high end restaurants but not the caliber of food quality or portion. We did not get the "magical" Disney service despite the expected 20% tip. Our server was unfriendly and unenthusiastic, and it seemed like we were a bother for being there. Unless you are seated right by the water where the boats go by, you cannot see anything and the tables are too close to each other. I think this is a one time deal for us and I'd rather spend our money on the classic go to's such as churros, ice cream, and burgers and fries.
Good was amazing and the setting was very nice.
The service was fast and good on refills
Excellent food! The ambience is perfect and the service was
Excellent food! The ambience is perfect and the service was on point and punctual. Very comfortable area while waiting. Decor is themed perfectly for the bayou scene. Loved the pesto pasta dish. The filet mignon was delectable and the sauce was smooth and savory. Dessert was Doberge Cake, pumpkin chocolate fusion with buttercream, magical! The only complaint would be the littles chicken fingers meal. Sparse and small portions even for a child. The "fruit" was grapes, for littles! Can you say choking hazard!? We had to cut the grapes in half for our littles to consume.
Made reservations 60 days ago & the experience well worth
Made reservations 60 days ago & the experience well worth the wait . The staff , our server & the manager Alicia made our dinner an evening to remember . The filet mignon was amazing & the mushrooms were perfect on top of the mash potatoes .. The restaurant inside the pirates of the Caribbean ride made for an amazing ambiance .
A 3 month wait for this!?! No thank you.
First off, I cannot believe you have to reserve a table 3 months in advance for Blue Bayou, the food and the service is mediocre at best. I have had the pleasure of eating there quite a few times over the last 22 years and has become a must do when we visit Disneyland, however on our most recent trip the service was subpar and the food even worse. In the past, the food was something to rave about but now we aren’t sure we’ll ever go again. We also found that much of the dining at the park was subpar with few exceptions such as The River Belle Terrace.
Food is not worth the cost. Ambiance maybe but need to guarantee a waters edge table.
This is the second time we've been. First time with our daughter (9 years old). The first time we went was probably 10 years ago and I guess it wasn't really that memorable back then and after this experience I'm realizing there is a reason for that. We had an ok table. It wasn't on the edge closest to the Pirates ride but was closer than others. For food we had Crab Cakes, Chicken Gumbo, and Rosemary/Sea Salt Brioche as starters. Chicken Gumbo was easily the best tasting thing of the night. For main courses we both got the Sea Bass (tasted ok but not up to par with the Sea Bass at a nice restaurant outside of Disney) and our daughter had the kids Prime Rib with fruit and mashed potatoes. This was easily the one where my wife and I kind of looked at each other like "seriously?". It was literally a plate with about 10 green grapes rolling around on it loosely, a tiny dollop of potatoes (maybe 3 bites worth at best) and the tiniest portion of prime rib I've ever seen. No desert. No alcohol. Two waters and a soda. Bill is still over $200 (which honestly I kind of expected as I know it's a pricey restaurant for Disney). I just think it's really a mid dinner for that price. We went to Goofey's Kitchen the night before for less money and had a huge variety that quite honestly tasted a lot better.
One and done
We were very excited for our reservation that I booked 60 days in advance. Upon arrival to check in- the hostess was having a lot of guests walking up with no reservations. The hostess explained that they usually book 60 days out but occasionally they might have cancellations where they can take walk ins. We went for dinner- 5:20pm reservation. At that time the hostess would tell them no seating available at which 3 couples made a stink and ended up getting tables while we sat to be called for our reservation. Our names were called and they were going to seat us 3 rows back from the viewing area. I asked if we could move to a table at first row which then was taken by guests with no reservations. I explained my frustration and was moved to second row. I was not happy that the one couple with no reservations got front row seating. Our waitress came by and introduced herself and wanted us to order right away. Bri, didn’t go over anything with us. Didn’t explain the difference in ordering off of the fixed vs not. Didn’t even ask us what we wanted to drink. I had to guide her in how to do her job. Once we received drinks, we ordered our $13 appetizer which ended up being 4 pieces of Hawaiian rolls with butter and jelly. We order the filet, roasted chicken, sea bass and prime rib for dinner. 45 minutes later our waitress never came back, no one filled our waters, no food, no one to check on us, we just sat… finally a gentleman made eye contact with us which we proceeded to ask where our waitress went. He said, “oh she went on her dinner break.” Bri, never told us she was leaving or said so and so will be taking care of you now. By this point, I was about to walk out. The food arrived a minute after and portions are small and for the price was not worth it. This also was a birthday dinner for our son which was not even acknowledged. I found the gentleman again and asked for our check. I couldn’t handle being in this restaurant for one more minute. Super disappointed because we wanted to love it.
Formidable fine dining and service
A refined dining experience. I visited with my family, they are on vacation from Paris. They had an excellent experience from the food. They had the catch of the day and it was excellent, the salad, my son had the meat, crab cakes and at the end we had a Mickey celebration cake. We had excellent service from Dan and his enthusiastic coworker Jim ? This is the 3rd time for my son and myself visiting. My daughter and family they were very happy.
Request a table near the ride, otherwise skip it.
If you go, I highly suggest you request a table near the river to watch the riders on Pirates of the Caribbean, otherwise it is just not worth the cost. My wife and I thought we could get a quasi-romantic lunch while our teens explored the park on their own. The bayou setting was a neat concept, but we were seated too far from the ride to be able to actually enjoy the views. It was dark, crowded (too many tables packed in the space), and it had a noisy drone of a hundred conversations the entire time we ate, making 1-on-1 conversations difficult. The service staff was only minimally attentive and seemed to treat us as "just the next chance for a tip." They didn't acknowledge we were celebrating our anniversary even though I stated that when making the reservation, checking in on the Disneyland app, and when greeting our hostest. The quality of food was very good (we had the monte cristo sandwich and roasted chicken) but I was really expecting a better experience and I'm disappointed that so many people suggest this is one of the better dining options in Disneyland.
Please let’s stop pretending a $180 meal for 2 is “good” or even “acceptable” because it’s Disney. Our dinner experience was extremely disappointing. First date was @ Disneyland, honeymoon @ DisneyWorld, spent every anniversary @ Disneyland for 10 years, had annual passes periodically so we’re lifers. Ate @ the Blue Bayou each time (except DW). Tried booking reservations and had to hit refresh on the calendar for days to finally lock in on one. Two nights ago was a disaster. Ambiance: loud and chaotic, crushed into nearby tables with very little room, certainly couldn’t hear the bayou crickets, and there were no fireflies!!! Waiters having worked there for almost 2 years (we asked) didn’t know that the fireflies actually existed. Neither host nor waiter(s) noticed that it was our 50th anniversary even though it was listed on our reservation and we were wearing pins that said so. Ordered only one glass of wine which was fine. Crabcakes and watermelon salad starters were good but only half eaten since entrees arrived less than 5 minutes later. Prime rib was chewy and cold, asked for salt and never got it (eventually took it from another table), shrimp and chicken were overcooked and tough (rice was good). Banana cake dessert was way too heavy and dense (like a brick), not very sweet. “Iconic” Monte Cristo not even on the menu. Experience at Cafe Orleans next day was precisely the opposite: great patio table, great service, great food (including the Monte Cristo). Had to do the same craziness for reservations but somehow we didn’t mind because we actually had a good time there. Some things CAN be excused because it’s Disney.
Don’t look at the cost and just do it!
The Blue Bayou is a must do! It is magical and the atmosphere is amazing. Book early though! We booked 4 weeks ahead of our Disney trip and got the single last booking. In fact, we had to change park bookings for Disney California to get in. Don’t look at the cost and just do it!
Ok bad bad service
Was very excited to get to go to this place but through our time at the restaurant our waitress did not pay attention to our table at all. She also left on sauce and spice that we did not want. After that we complained and instead of our waitress a different waiter addressed our issue about the food. We also needed some water for our table and it took her 10 minutes when it was just sitting on another table, and like last time the same waiter stepped in and gave us our water. In the end we walked away with a restaurant with ok food and the worst Disney experience we have ever had.
Blue Bayou has always been a must when we go to Disneyland.
This visit was excellent as always. We were seated before our actual reservation time. Our server Tim was amazing. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and even made sure my grandson got a birthday candle on the dessert we ordered for him. We will be back again next visit to Disneyland!
Food was good,service was good,ambience was a little dark
Food was good,service was good,ambience was a little dark but you are in pirates so I guess it has to be,it's only water dining if you get a table at the end, which we did not otherwise we would've had to wait an extra hour even with reservations,it's very expensive $60 a steak,the bread and butter was pretty good but that's gonna cost you $12 I've never had to pay for bread at a higher end restaurant,that will be my last time there,Disneyland is gauging you for every cent you have Walt would be rolling over in his grave

Good food , not bad service it take long time for food to come , nice as a Chang , I don't think I'll go again

We had reservations at 8:40pm, the hostess in front was swamped with park goers. I think they need to have 2 lines: one for reservation check in and a separate for "walk in/standby" because it gets pretty frustrating. We didn't get seated for 20-25 minutes after check in which sort of bummed me out considering we made reservations, but what can you do. The ambiance of this place is nice. It doesn't feel like you're inside a theme park which is great. It feels like you've been transported to Louisiana at someone's nice backyard looking at the swamp aka "the pirates ride" which is really neat. Our server's name was Mei, she was great; very attentive and kind and made sure our water glasses were full. Food Appetizer - crab cakes - this was probably the best thing we had from their menu. Decent portion of crab, it was tasty and flavorful. Entree - lemon basil pesto pasta and the ribeye - the pasta is vegan but I added shrimp. The shrimp was just boiled in plain water because it had no flavor, but the pasta itself was pretty good for what it was, I just don't think it was worth the price of $29, plus $7 or so to add the shrimp. The ribeye had good potatoes and it was seasoned well, we got it medium, but the unusual part was the bourbon sauce it was smothered in. I do wish they put it on the side because I wanted to taste the grill on the steak. Typically a good steak doesn't need the "A1 sauce", so it would've been good on the side. Dessert - creme brûlée - I'd skip this. It was not good at all, it was more of a fruit tart, but not a good fruit tart. The cookie portion around it was pretty stale, there was more of that than the actual brûlée itself, not worth the $10. Overall, it was neat experience, but we wouldn't come back. With so many other good eats in the area, this place is pretty dated and overpriced for what it is. Thankfully, we had a small discount because we're passholders, but still not worth the steep cost of roughly $200 for everything pictured.
We had an amazing dinner in the blue bayou this year.
They seated us right on the edge of the restaurant so we could hear all the chirping and buzzing of the bayou. Normally we get seated somewhere in the middle where it's loud with chatter and dishes clanging but not this time. The monte cristo did not disappoint and neither did the steak.
Great meal.
Crab cakes and ribeye were excellent. Dining room is lovely. Service was great. Nothing at all to complain about. Highly recommend.
Best in the Park! If you visit Disneyland, this is one of
Best in the Park! If you visit Disneyland, this is one of those places you just have to try once. It's one of those places you just have to see on your bucket list because of the amazing feelings. I had to book two months in advance, and there's very little chance you'll be able to stroll in and obtain a table. My reservation was made ten minutes in advance, and we were seated promptly. Along with great service, I had a delicious cup of chicken gumbo. I was pretty pleased with the gumbo, which had large bits of chicken and sausage in it. I would absolutely suggest ordering it. All in all, it is undoubtedly a unique experience, and you can start a conversation by mentioning that you've eaten in the Pirates of Caribbean ride. Great Ambiance.
Had an AMAZING time! Came for my birthday and it was
Had an AMAZING time! Came for my birthday and it was nothing short of excellent. Our server was David from Ontario and he is probably one of the best servers I've had for service anywhere. He gave great insight, had a wonderful attitude and made my birthday that much more special. By far one of my best birthdays ever
I highly recommend the Fantasmic dining package here
We opted for the Fantasmic dining package and we were not disappointed. The food was very good. My husband upgraded his meal for an additional $10 and loved the filet. I had a delicious sea bass and loved the starter salad as well as the amazing chocolate tarte for dessert. We had reservations so we did not have to wait long (15-20 minutes) and our seats were near the water where the Pirates of the Caribbean ride passes by. The ambience was lovely, with hanging lights setting the mood. And I was pleasantly surprised with the 2 souvenir mule cups we also received with the package. But even more impressive was the area that we were able to watch Fantasmic from because of the dining package. It was PHENOMENAL. Literally, front row to all of the gorgeous pirotechnics and live-action songs. One of my favorites still!
I had a trip planned to Disneyland and was craving the
I had a trip planned to Disneyland and was craving the Monte Christo sandwich. For months I had been looking for an opening that aligned with our reservations and found none - they were completely booked. Luckily on the day of our visit I gave it one more try, and was thrilled to see an opening at 9 pm! Sadly, the dinner menu didn't include the sandwich - so ordered the filet mignon instead. Maybe I didn't speak loud enough when I asked for the steak to be medium well, but when it arrived the steak had burned edges and was completely gray inside. It was so dry I couldn't swallow it without water. I didn't complain because it was near closing time. The service on the other hand was completely stellar. Nobody's drink was ever below the halfway mark. The servers were wonderful. If for service alone, this would have been 5 stars, but I was really disappointed in the food -- especially for such a coveted and expensive restaurant. It was a good memory for my family, but it will be a long time, if ever, before I'd go back
Surprisingly disappointing.
My family each ordered a ribeye that was overcooked and the quality of the meat wasn't that good. The alcoholic drinks were too sweet and the texture of the creme brûlée wasn't that good. Even the coffee was okay at best. I've been to this restaurant before and had a great time. If this was my first time at the restaurant, and this is what they charged, I would've never gone back.
Food not great
Beautiful setting. Food bizarre! Montecristo option was a weird deep fried cheese/ham sandwich with strawberry jam. Setting nice but just eat elsewhere
Famous New Orleans-Style Ambiance Monte Cristo
When we visit Disneyland, our trip wouldn't be complete without dining at the Blue Bayou Restaurant! The number one reason is the Monte Cristo sandwich. It is the most delicious meal, second to none! It's like having breakfast, dinner, and dessert all in one! The "bread" is actually a Disney-famous beignet, sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with a fabulous fruit compote dipping sauce. You won't be disappointed! Plus, while you savor the Monte Cristo, you'll be seated close to the waterfront of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. You simply cannot go wrong with this kind of New Orleans-style ambiance.
FYI - DO NOT GO HERE FOR THE FOOD! Ambience only.
This is absolutely the most COSTLY and WORST food in the park! I recommend it only for a drink to enjoy the beautiful ambience. Always ask to sit where you can see the passing boats otherwise you’ve just wasted your reservation. Enjoy and don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Well worth the money in our opinion!
This was our best meal at disneyland by far! We reserved a spot 60 days out as we heard it gets busy, but we did hear other people walk up and get a table fairly easily. We requested a table on the water and only waited ten minutes to be seated there so do ask if you want to get a spot watching the boats go by! We got the Monte cristo and Creole chicken and were absolutely blown away. Both were so flavourful, fresh, and piping hot. The portions were so big we couldn't finish, unfortunately, but the quality was so good we took the rest home! The only thing better than the food was the atmosphere. Situated inside the pirates of the Caribbean ride, you'll watch a constant stream of boats riding down the bayou. With the dark mock sky and floating lanterns it really does feel like you're sitting outside on a new Orleans Night. We paid £100 for two main meals, a soft drink, cocktail and tip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.
Slow and rude
Maybe we were just there on a bad night, maybe some staff had unexpected called out, I don’t know. But we had an experience here that was memorable in a bad way. Service was exceptionally slow. I think we had 3-4 different servers come to our table so again, maybe they were short staffed that night but as a result things started to go sideways. My neurodivergent child started to get restless with all the waiting for our food to arrive and was scolded by a staff person. I am sure being in the presence of a hangry disabled/neurodivergent child was unpleasant for the staff and other patrons, but instead of scolding him for behavior he can’t help, maybe try bringing the food out in a reasonable timeframe and moving our table along more quickly so we can leave? My dish was literally cold by the time it arrived and for the first time in my life I considered sending it back to be re-warmed, but I did not, obviously, because the meal was already taking long enough and I felt really unwelcome there and eager to leave.
Food was TERRIBLE, misadvertised and so unhealthy
I have always wanted to try the Blue Bayou because the Pirates of the Caribbean is my favourite ride. I booked it online 60 days out from our trip. Was so excited for it. I could have not been more disappointed. I chose lunch specifically for the monte christo sandwich which I thought would appeal to my 17-year-old daughter who was my travel companion. I googled it ahead of time, saw that it was a grilled ham and cheese sandwich served with fresh fruit only served at lunch. $31 for a sandwich is steep but whatever, it’s Disneyland. We both ordered it. ALERT: the monte cristo is a MASSIVE DONUT. A plate of deep fried dough is all it is with a bit of ham and cheese inside. So incredibly gross and unhealthy. It must have had 2,000 calories to it in deep fried dough. Sickening. Moreover, despite what it said on the menu, there was no fresh “seasonal fruit”. Just a bit of overdressed lettuce. When I asked the server where the “seasonal fruit” was, she said there was some dried fruit sprinkled on the salad. Excuse me? That is not “seasonal fruit”. Disneyland, this is misleading and a massive, grossly unhealthy , fail. I come there fully prepared to be ridiculously overcharged, however a reasonable amount of quality is expected. I felt bad for the server. And even more bad for myself. Disney, FIX THIS.
It's probably been at least 2 or 3 Pirates renovations
It's probably been at least 2 or 3 Pirates renovations since my last Blue Bayou dining experience, so roughly 10 years? I don't recall the place being as hard a reservation to get, to be honest. Remember being able to walk-up and find seats most of the time; must be different post-Covid. Tried to get dining reservations 30 days out and kept looking every day, but no luck. Somehow, I stumbled on the 8pm reservation around lunch time IN THE PARK while we were waiting for Space Mountain. Go figure. Ambiance is as cool as I remember it. Menu looks more higher-end than I recall too. Went with a Brussels sprouts salad, filet, and pesto pasta for the wife and I to share. She was more concerned that we could get one of the Crème Brûlée Tarts at the end of the meal than the meal itself. I had noted to myself to avoid the prime rib, as I didn't think previous post photos looked any good (lots of comments that it's overcooked and not worthwhile). Filet was fantastic, as was the pasta. Ended up being perfect portions for 2 with the 2 entrees and salad to start. Crème brûlée tart at the end is worth the price of admission too. Topped off with a glass of wine and our bill was just under 100 per person. On a 1-10 scale of "good food," I would probably rate this close to a 7. Definitely not a fine dining experience, but you pay the convenience fee of a decent sit-down restaurant with an actual menu. Servers are super friendly and kept checking in on us, though bussers seem to be in a rush to get plates off your table.
Growing up, I used to love this place so much! A salad or a
Growing up, I used to love this place so much! A salad or a cup of gumbo was included with your entree in the good old days. Nowadays, the menu seems so pared back. I do appreciate the plant-based options. I went for the plant-based pistachio pesto pasta this time, but the noodles were so mushy! They also added in way too many pepper flakes, which really took away from the pesto. Service was professional, as always. I think I'll still come back here because I love the ambiance, but it's just not what it used to be.
Ambience was beautiful like it always has.
Service was terrible, food was bad. My wife and I waited 7 long years to finally get a reservation to eat here since the last time we got in. How much of a waste it was to go here. My wife ordered the Cajun roasted chicken dry as the Mojave desert. The prime rib I ordered was to be medium rare. Again came out dry as the Mojave. The only good thing we had was the chicken gumbo. The service assistant came and took my sprite before I even paid and left with giving me a refill. I would not recommend going here.
The setting, the nostalgia the service was all amazing.
The prices were fair. The food however was nothing to write home about and the portions were small. Will I go back? Of course. Will I just get one of the cheapest things on the menu. Also yes.
This is a must every time we go to Disneyland!!!! The
This is a must every time we go to Disneyland!!!! The monte crisco served during lunch is my absolute favorite, but all the food is good for a theme park. We love the fact it's inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the food is very good but definitely not the best you ever had....and getting in can be difficult. You have to have reservations booked out months in advance or you can try to get on the wait list as a walk up but it's not easy. I checked my Disney genie app all day and I got to add onto the waitlist right before 5 pm it opened up then closed min after....the service is good but again not totally amazing....your getting a good experience and good food for an expected price at a theme park. Again everything is really enjoyable and that's why we return but there are things that make it so it just doesn't reach the 5 star mark for me. I feel if you go in knowing what to expect you will enjoy yourself but if you have super high expectations it will fall short, in my opinion. I hope this helps you decide if it's a try or not for you in the future! Enjoy and happy dining
What a COOL looking restaurant - Like Sitting on the Bayou
It looks like you are eating outside even though you are inside. A river runs along side the eating area with boats of people. Turns out the ride is the start of Pirates of the Caribbean! The food we had was very good and the ambience was really cool. One of us had a filet with deviled crab on top - it was fantastic! Everyone else’s food was delicious as well. The service was perfect. A really fun atmosphere, but it is dark with cook lights hanging overhead.
I broke my long hiatus from Disneyland this year thankfully
I broke my long hiatus from Disneyland this year thankfully with my lovely and wonderful boyfriend DiDi hehe. Like the true gentleman that he is, he took me to a fancy meal at one of the most popular places in the park - blue bayou! I overall loved my experience here, but there were several reasons for the 3 stars, let's get started with the food. Food: the hurricane cocktail was deliciously sweet, and they did a fantastic job of hiding the alcohol taste. I definitely felt the rush of alcohol by the end of our glass, but the ethanol taste was barely present when gulping it down. We got the Mardi Gras special menu to share together, I think the course would actually be enough for 3 people since we couldn't finish the dishes. Appetizer corndogs were alright and interestingly shaped into 3 big balls, the sausage inside had a little bit of spicy kick to it, which we liked. But the greens that were served with the corndog was uhhhh interesting to say the least, it was tough in texture and peppery and just not salad-y like I expected. Main entree ribeye and shrimps were cooked really well and great texture, juicy and tender, but they overseasoned it so much that they both tasted so salty! This is exactly how heart failure patients end up in the hospital, by eating meals with this much salt, goodness gracious The cherry cheesecake for dessert was just... fine, it tasted exactly like cherry cheesecake, nothing really special here. It was wrapped in Mardi Gras color themed edible chocolate, which made it pretty but didn't add anything to the flavor profile Price: cocktail was about $15 and the Mardi Gras special course was about $90. Wow I knew Disneyland was expensive but this is ridiculously expensive for the quality of food we received, I suppose the ambiance and mood and the disney brand really jacked up the prices here Ambiance: the best part of the whole restaurant, wow wow wow it's beautiful in here. Dimly lit with beautiful lanterns stringed above, you can see the waters and people on the ride for Pirates of Carribean cruising by. Very big space inside and well maintained, loved the bayou vibes. So romantic and so fancy and so luxurious, it felt like a dream to be eating here with my favorite person in the world! Service: chipper happy waiters and waitresses who greet you with big big smiles. They were gracious to let us in after a short 20 minutes wait time even as a walk in and no reservations. It did sorta seem like our waitress was a little hasty to get us out of the restaurant though, she kept asking if we had gotten our next course of the meal and if we had put down a card on the check, but I understand this is a very busy place that needs quick turnover Parking: ah yes Disneyland, just remember where you parked so you don't go wandering with your tired feet at the end of the day
Love the ambiance of this place,first time coming here.
Food was excellent and portions were bigger than I was expecting. Servers were very friendly and they checked on us pretty frequently for refills, if we wanted any other foods. It is a little pricey but worth it.
I've been wanting to go here for as long as I can remember.
Got a notification at about 5 o'clock in the morning on mouse watcher app and quickly booked the reservation for my son's 21st birthday. I didn't get seated by the water I got seated by the bathroom. We were a party of five. Our server was spectacular. However, the man who seated us was rude and seemed irritated. The food was not a big deal to me, but the drinks and dessert were good. The bill was a couple hundred dollars so it's a little bit pricey but that's expected. It is Disneyland. Will probably come back again and hopefully get seated by the water and order something else.
Awesome but Expensive
If it's one thing Disney does well it's food. (Provided you are willing to pay extremely excessive prices) The food was AMAZING My family had the roast chicken, gumbo, kids menu spaghetti, the prime rib, and the filet minion, with chocolate cheesecake for desert. The ambiance was fun, the server was attentive and read his tables very well. Best experience we had in the parks (Ask for a water table, it's worth the extra wait)
Honestly this place is a little over rated , over priced
Honestly this place is a little over rated , over priced for the food , I've only gotten a few items and the only one that was worth going back in my opinion is the steak but they constantly change the menu so it's kind of a hit and miss here . The last time was a horrible experience and the time before that was great. I believe people just make it seem more than what it is and if you don't get the table near the attraction , it's honestly like any other restaurant. I prefer lamplight lounge
For a restaurant that requires reservations to be made 3
For a restaurant that requires reservations to be made 3 months in advance, you'd expect the food to be above average. My sister, husband, and I ended up sharing 2 appetizers and 2 entrees, which ended up being a good amount for the three of us. We ordered the gumbo, blackened shrimp, ribeye, and penne pasta. I'd say the gumbo and rib eye were the most flavorful out of the 4. The service and drinks were ok. Would I come back? Probably not, unless the seats were guaranteed near the water.
Favorite Disneyland Restaurant
We love the ambiance at this restaurant, and it is a favorite for special celebrations. Service is always excellent, and love that they accommodate dietary restrictions exceptionally well. The gluten free, plant based creme brûlée is amazing. Wish the menu had more variety... but the fact that they work well with dietary restrictions trumps the limited menu.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Blue Bayou Restaurant Anaheim at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Blue Bayou Restaurant Anaheim page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Blue Bayou Restaurant Anaheim to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Blue Bayou Restaurant Anaheim!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
