Blue Bayou Restaurant

This was one of my most favorite parts of our recent Disneyland trip. I made reservations 60 days before (set my alarm to make them at 6 am exactly 60 days before we planned to go cause reservations fill up quick!), and it was exactly what my family and I needed after our first day there and walking 6 miles already. My favorite ride is Pirates of the Caribbean so I'm biased about the atmosphere, love it!, but the food was delicious and the best part was being able to order a glass of wine with dinner since alcohol is scarce at Disneyland. My son had the filet mignon topped with crab, my husband and I ordered the rib eye which was melt in your mouth, my sister ordered the salad with fruit and the chicken gumbo, and her friend ordered the pasta with pistachio pesto and as a vegetarian who has trouble finding things to order normally she was in heaven. A bit of a pricey trip but when you consider $600 including tip for five people, 2 drinks each, an appetizer, entrees and dessert, the atmosphere and the and the waitress was overly generous with the coffee at the end, Id say 100% worth it!

I've always wanted to dine here, It was a cool experience. I asked to be seated at the water and they granted my request. It was really nice watching all the boats from The Pirates of the Caribbean ride go by. The food was great but the price was expensive for what it was. It was cool to experience once, but I wouldn't go back.

I have always wanted to eat in this restaurant. We were lucky enough to get reservations and we're able to see what all the hype is about. It was very cool to be inside of the pirates ride. The atmosphere was like nothing else. The food was amazing. I got the prime rib and it was even better than I expected. It was perfectly cooked and tender with an amazing peppercorn sauce. The potatoes were also amazing, I was so full but finished every bite. For the experience and the delicious food, I would say this place does live up to the hype. I would come back here for a special occasion, I'd love to try more of their menu.

Blue Bayou Restaurant is a must. We order a Monte Cristo and a Prime Rib. Our servers were amazing as per Disney standards. The atmosphere within Pirates of the Caribbean ride is outstanding, you can eat quietly and still enjoy the setting. We were sat by the ride and I loved it. This place is worth the wait (and you do need reservation to go).

The Monte Cristo is one of a kind! The atmosphere is dark and I can see why they would sell LED ice cubes. I love that fact that you can see the boats and riders from one of the best amusement park rides every created and known to man. The staff was super accommodating and they know the drill with kids meals and requests. I did feel a little underdressed for a nicer restaurant, but I would highly recommend setting up a reservation here well in advance.

Food was cooked perfectly! The lump crab topped steak was great and the gumbo with the rolls were great together. It was pricey but a great experience to have. We went twice in one week!!! The hurricanes are delicious and strong and I had 2!

We ate at Blue Bayou while visiting Disneyland and it was pretty cool. I remember seeing the tables when I was a little kid riding Pirates of the Caribbean, so I really enjoyed getting to be on the other side of that experience. The food is good but nothing too fantastic. The hush puppies were just okay, but the ribs were good. They have a decent drink menu which is nice. My husband ordered some mixed drinks, and I had a beer. The theme of this restaurant is really nice, and it is awesome that it's a part of the Pirates ride. The only problem is there are a lot of tables and most of them are not near the water. We were lucky that we were only one table back from the water so we could still see people going by, but most everyone else is in the middle of the patio. It is also pretty cramped. The gentleman at the table behind me would bump into my seat occasionally just because we were so close together. You may also be eating at an odd time because the reservations are booked out. We ate at 3 PM. All in all, it is a neat experience but don't expect it to completely live up to your expectations.

A very popular and hyped restaurant that most people covet. If you're reading this, you're probably either wondering if it's worth the trouble or what to order. Don't worry, we'll get to both :) Is it worth it? Short answer no. Long answer? Maybe. If you've never been here before and want to check off all the special Disney things then yeah if you can get a reservation then go for it. The atmosphere is great to be able to dine in the same room as the beginning of the pirates ride. But honestly, it gets gimmicky really quick and after a couple of terrible dimly lit pictures, you're stuck with an overpriced food bill. Two reasons why it's not worth it: It's very expensive and some of the dishes were hit and miss. Portions were either very small or the dish was not well crafted at all. And it's extremely difficult to get a reservation. Even after you get a reservation, make sure to go to the restaurant and check in with the hostess. Then you'll still wait almost an hour LOL Cheesecake and Frittata: Skip Both were dry and something I would skip Gumbo: Get It's a very flavorful and comforting little bowl of goop but that's the thing, it was so small that after a few bites it's gone Scallops: Get These were also great and honestly, if you have the extra coin to spare, I would get extra scallops Market fish: Skip The fish was very bland and very disappointing
