Carnation Cafe

Carnation Cafe is an excellent place for lunch in Disneyland! Thank you to Rachel and Kevin for helping keep our active toddler entertained. The veggie burger with fries ($22) and wedge salad ($17) were delicious. Great quality at a fair price. Pro Tips: - Make a reservation on the Disneyland app - Grab a seat by the outside patio gate so you can people watch on Main Street! - Request a GF menu if someone in your party has allergies

If you want to grab some delicious bites at a restaurant in Disneyland, I would recommend Carnation Cafe! While some restaurants book out completely far in advance, this is one that is a bit easier to get into and will often times have last minute reservations available. Although they do take walk-up availability, I would always just suggest checking the Disneyland app in advance to book a time so you can guarantee a table at the time you're wanting. I will say that we were sat outside pretty far in the back and it seems that they only had maybe a small handful of servers working out there. This made service a bit slow, but we weren't in a rush so it wasn't really an issue for us. As far as food goes, you can expect a more standard American menu and the prices are not as expensive for being one of their casual dining restaurants. As of a couple years ago, Carnation Cafe also joined the small number of Disneyland Park restaurants that offer alcoholic beverages, so that is an option to order as well if you plan to dine-in here. We enjoyed the following: Fried Pickles: I can't rave about these enough. I love a fried pickle and these were so crunchy and delicious. The breading on these was fried to perfection and the house sauce it came with was very flavorful and bright. Spicy Chicken Sandwich: (not pictured) At the time we visited here, they had a spicy chicken sandwich on the menu that my husband split and devoured before we could even get a picture. It came on a brioche bun with a spicy chile sauce and pepper jack cheese. Absolutely delicious. Spiked Pickle Lemonade: I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS DRINK ENOUGH. I believe they were offering this as a seasonal special when we visited last, but if they offer it on the menu when you're there next and you enjoy pickles, RUN and grab this drink! It was both sweet and salty, and made for the most refreshing cocktail on a hot day. If you don't have a super packed day trying to ride all the rides and have time to sit for a meal, Carnation Cafe is a great option!

First time dining at Disneyland’s Carnation Cafe and this was an excellent choice. We had a reservation for dinner that somehow we confused for a lunch reservation. The Hostess Alejandra worked some magic and managed to seat us for lunch. We ordered Beef Stroganoff ($26) and Chicken Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans ($22). The Beef Stroganoff was really really flavorful and had Pearl onions and mushrooms. I can only hope to make this dish half as good at home. The Chicken Fried Chicken was one smaller (but plenty) chicken breast with a nice cream gravy. The green beans were quite tasty too. Our server was Valerie and she was friendly and welcoming and as attentive as we wanted/needed. This restaurant has both outdoor and more comfortable indoor seating. This is located inside Disneyland,about halfway down Main Street just after the Emporium on the left side.

Best place to eat in Disneyland. The fried pickles are perfectly crunchy and the dipping sauce is delicious (ask for extra). If you are a fan of blue cheese, do yourself a favor and order the wedge salad. Amazing!

*would give a 3.5 if i could FOOD beef stroganoff was good but needed some more flavor. burger was also lacking flavor. veggie burger was not that good. also the bacon cannot be taken out of the potato soup. SERVICE about a thirty minute wait. estimated wait time was 45 mins. 10 minute window to check in after they text you. we were not hiven utensils or napkins upon seating and had to ask for them. waiter was nice though. ENVIRONMENT atmosphere is good. decor is good. has inside seating and outside seating

We made reservations months in advance and that worked out well. We celebrated a birthday with the Mickey celebration cake. Everyone seemed to enjoy the dinner and a break from the crowds. I had the cheese burger and it was okay but not spectacular. Steak fries were good. The cake was nice and looked cool.

Carnation Café is a fantastic spot to eat at Disneyland! They have a great selection of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, which we really appreciate. The highlight for us was their brownie topped with vegan vanilla ice cream—it was fire! We especially love enjoying it during Halloween time in the fall. My toddler loved their peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and my brother ordered a vegetarian burger that he said was really good. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is great, and it’s a perfect place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Definitely one of our favorite dining spots at Disneyland!

First time coming to eat here. I came in for breakfast and it was a 30 minute wait time . I order the Mickey shape waffle (crispy n crunchy ❤️) It was good and spicy sausage was awesome.The only I can complain about is why they gave me such a dull knife to cut my waffle.( butter knife) . I was better off eating with my hands. I wish they served their breakfast with eggs. Why do I have to pay an extra $3 for a single serving of eggs . Oh and $5 for watered down orange juice 😃

The food was good here, I had a buffalo chicken sandwich with fruit. The fruit was really fresh, all sliced up in a bowl. It was refreshing for a really hot day at the park. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was flavorful, saucy, and good quality. Tender and juicy. (It had coleslaw on it, cheese,) Geoffrys sweet cream Cold brew coffee was pretty decent but could have used more flavor. The best things about Carnation Cafe were the environment and the service. It's such a cute, charming cafe with a shady, outdoor eating area. The waitress and other cast members were really friendly and on top of water and other drink refills. Our server gave us plenty of ice water to fill our reusable bottles for later, which was super sweet!! I would come back again.

Alcoholic drinks served here. The old fashion was fantastic! Food: high quality food. Fast service. Lovely ambiance.

This review is solely for the breakfast. I would definitely recommend coming for lunch or dinner instead. The breakfast sandwich was dry, the sausage was super tough in the egg scramble, and the waffles were cold and really chewy. If I were to come back, it would be for the fried pickles and Walt's chili. I've always wanted to try breakfast here, but it was super disappointing.

If you plan to eat here, make reservations 60 days before you plan to visit the park. They were not accepting walk ups the day we dined here. We enjoyed our lunch outside while people watching, and there was plenty of shade with the umbrellas everywhere. My mom ordered the chef's salad and said it was very tasty, my husband ordered the short rib and said it was pretty good, and I ordered the veggie burger and was largely disappointed. There wasn't much aoili sauce and the large slice of tomato was thicker than the veggie burger! At least the fries were really good, especially when dipped into a side of ranch! Service here was friendly and faster than other table service restaurants.

This place is amazing!!! I've now been here for breakfast and dinner and I shall return for both. Employees are always with a smile (some more than others) and always very knowledgeable

The food is always wonderful and filling. A wide variety of dishes to please everyone in your party. The food is consistently on point and does not disappoint. One of the few sit down restaurants where you can get a complete meal without feeling like you overpaid and got a decent meal. Their breakfast is one of their most coveted reservations. The service is always fantastic! They always try to accommodate guests when they have certain food allergies. Although reservations are highly recommended, you may be able to snag a table as they do allow walk-ins. A park favorite amongst guests.

Carnation Cafe is a classic on Main Street in Disneyland. Not only is the food great, the ambience is really spectacular - it's always very busy up and down Main Street, but the patio dining feels so calm, especially in the evenings when the lights are on and the buildings seem to sparkle. Everything I've tried on the menu has been very good and the service is always some of the best at the park.

Nice restaurant with good food and service. Our server Alyssa was personable and attentive. Food was delicious. I will visit again.

This place never disappoints. The service was awesome and the food was delicious! I'm definitely coming back to try their other items.

The service was excellent. I had the scramble. I didn't like the taste of the eggs. The potatoes were good. I would have liked toast with my breakfast. I would visit again and try something else.

Carnation Cafe had never let me down yet. You gotta make your reservation early but usually you can check in with the mobile app and be seated within 10-20 minutes you just have to be in the area. It's a casual place nothing fancy but has that nostalgic feel. Last weekend our waiter was Javier. Very pleasant and easy going guy. We were hot and tired of being on our feet all day. He got our drinks out in a couple minutes and had our order in the kitchen in about 5 minutes. Food is always good hot and tasty.

Disneyland park admission is required in order to dine here. We were able to get onto the walk-up list at 6:15pm on a Sunday night. The app initially said 15min, then as I was entering the line it went up to 60min, then back down to 45min and I ended up receiving the time to dine text within 5 minutes and we were seated inside. I would say don't be too discouraged if the walk-up estimated time looks high. The food is on the better quality end for theme park meals and I appreciate the variety of options that they have. Everything was cooked well and came out hot. The price point is about what you would see at a normal restaurant.

Good place to eat while in Disneyland Park. Reservations highly recommended. We sat outside in the gazebo and enjoyed our dinner and people watching. As with most places in the parks, limited menus and a little pricey so as long as you're exceptions are realistic, you should have a good time! Our service was fast & friendly. I do wish there were a few more adult beverage options on the menu. Entrees enjoyed: Chicken friend chicken ($21) x2 Braised Short Rib ($24) x2 Cheeseburger ($19) - you choose fries or fruit Kids meal Would go again. One of our better meals inside the parks.

So glad I finally got to try this place. Highly recommend making reservations early for this spot. I got really lucky and they had walk up reservations available and the wait wasn't bad. Our server Nancy was so sweet and informative I'll def be back to try breakfast and hopefully see Nancy again! Finally got to try the fried pickles I've heard about from this place and they were delicious!!!

Great place to relax and have good food while enjoying Disneyland. We had cheeseburgers served with fruit or fries, they were delicious a huge chuck patty with lettuce, tomato and red onion. Fries had a light batter and were served hot and delicious. We had started out the fried pickles and they were really good! We also enjoyed Walt's Chile which was hot and served with melted cheese and a small corn bread on top, so very good! Braised short ribs on top of Mac n cheese with green beans was delicious, meat was very tender and flavorful! Make a reservation because they are really busy!

This is hands down my favorite place in the Disneyland resort to start the morning off with a nice breakfast before the day of activities. As with most places in the resort you need to make reservations on the Disney app to secure a decent time frame and minimize the wait. There's both inside and outside seating available and we always try to opt for the outdoor on those cool crisp mornings watching all the happy goers headed to start their day. A cup of coffee and a protein packed ham steak meal helps fuel the day and keep the protein count up. With the thick slab of ham that has to be 8oz or more. Scrambled eggs and potato's it's my go to breakfast!

The food was gross! Burgers tasted like low quality cafeteria burgers. Not fresh or hot, and the bun was so stale and old. We come to Disney often and won't be back here. A sandwich from home would have been better

So today we tried carnation cafe for dinner. Same great service as breakfast but well at least my food wasn't great. I got the carnation burger, the bun was hard and the burger didn't come out hot. Fries were good but bottom bun got soggy from sitting. My wife liked her braised short rib. She said it was quite tasty and hot! 4 stars is mostly because she liked her food and service was great!

I've been waiting to try this restaurant for the longest time and always pass by it since it's located on the main Street of Disneyland. Restaurant/staff In order to get on the waiting list they have an employee in front and you must check in either via QR code or get on Disneyland app and add yourself to carnation cafe. Getting on the wait-list will definitely help save you time. The restaurant is clean and offers inside dining or outside patio dining. Food and drinks; slow roasted beef served with asparagus and a bed of Mac and cheese. If you're hungry and want a good amount of meat this would be the plate for you. Party melt: this is a popular item here and they grill the bread with cheese and the meat is quite juicy and comes with seasoned fries. My partner really likes this one. Kids Burger slider with fruits and mash potatoes. Unfortunately, this one was my least favorite and yes it was for my toddler but the meat was tough and not juicy at all. I ended up just giving him the fruits and mashed potatoes. I also ended up feeding him my Mac and cheese and beef. Ordered ice coffee It was good no complaints here. I ordered the orange juice mimosa. It wasn't too sweet and gave me a generous amount of champagne. ***They also have lavender Mimosa but I wasn't craving anything too sweet. Finally thought; I would definitely come back here for lunch. They also offer a good menu selection for brunch if you come from 8a-11a. When I come back I would love to try their floats and dessert. ***Bonus*** If You're ever here during the parade I believe it's after lunch. You can get a nice view if you sit at the outside patio.

All four of us were satisfied at the end and universally agreed this is the best restaurant at Disneyland. Our server Javier was excellent. The fried pickles and aioli were an off the chart starter. My wife and I shared a burger and a turkey club. The burger had some sweet and sour pickles that were unique and tasty. The club had fresh roasted turkey and crispy bacon. The chili was hearty and homey. The Mac n cheese was forgettable but the broccoli dipped in the cheese was good. The fries were crisp. Overall wonderful.

We came here for breakfast and got a reservation a few days before we went to Disneyland. We came originally for the sweet cream cold brew with ice cream and decided to get breakfast as well! The skillet was okay, pretty average for what you would expect and the kids Mickey waffles were doughy for my taste, however I know some people prefer that. We got the two sides for the kids meal as seasonal fruit for both. The servers were lovely and kept complimenting our shirts and gave me a birthday button! I would definitely come back just for the cold brew!

Hands down one of the best sit-down restaurants at Disneyland! You could easily pass by here as it's on Main Street. Reservations are required and they are often full. There's only a few indoor and outdoor tables, so this gets packed quickly! They now serve Alcohol here! Yes you heard right. Disneyland (not DCA) now serves Alcohol! I didnt have one here, but it was on the menu. Disneyland has a light pour, FYI LOL I ordered a tasty and huge Club Sandwich. They didn't skimp on the bacon or the meat. Definitely one of the best club sandwiches i've had. They gave me extra Aioli on request. My best friend had the wedge and it was huge! With huge slices of bacon! Wow it was all so good!

Finally got to try Carnation Cafe! Boy does this place get crowded!! You have to make a reservation or you won't be able to get in. I've tried to walk up the day of, and put my name down and the wait was hours. So call ahead for a reservation. This cafe is crowded for a reason. The food is soooo good. Everything is fantastic and the service is exceptional. I have no complaints here. It is worth the wait and worth the hassle lol Just trust me! :)

I have nothing but good things to say about Carnation Cafe The servers were very nice and helpful! We had reservations but were actually able to be seated a little early. The food was delicious and large portions! My friend and I ate here for lunch and were full the rest of the day. I highly recommend making reservations if you can.

Decently priced-good breakfast spot when you arrive at Disneyland. Great with working with Gluten & Diary allergies. Very simple menu with good pancakes and waffles. Again, with anything Disney- make a reservation here so you can get in without having to wait a long time or not get in at all. I really liked the country hash browns! Service was really good for being as busy as they were.

Food is excellent!! This place is way better than the Blue Bayou, less expensive with better food and service. We got the burger with a side of chili and the braised roast rib... delish! Service was outstanding! In no particular order, Jacob, Katsumi, Emmalee, and Kevin were excellent and attentive! Made our visit pleasant and memorable. Our 3rd time here but not our last. This is also a great seating area to watch the parade while you eat.

We came by for breakfast! The wait on the waitlist was about 35 minutes at around 9:30am on a Wednesday. We were late because the wait was shorter than the estimated time, but they seated us after a short wait anyway, which we definitely appreciated! Service was solid - our server and multiple others came by to check on us and clear plates. Our food came out pretty quickly, too! Now, for the food: -Walt's chili cheese omelet: actually the tastiest thing we got! Next time, we'd definitely get this here. It had a good amount of cheese inside, and the chili was tasty. -Breakfast skillet: pretty disappointing, actually. The flavors were ok, but the textures were not. The potatoes were just soft, not super well-seasoned. The bacon was more thick and chewy, not at all crispy. The egg was meh - also, for anyone who might be hoping for Mickey-shaped eggs, they no longer do this. Just normal-shaped eggs. -Kids' menu Mickey-shaped waffles: more for the shape than for the flavor. Pretty mediocre waffles. They did allow adults to order from the kids' menu, but only kids get the milk or Dasani water with the meal. -Kids' menu Mickey-shaped scrambled eggs: not good... thick, rubbery, and not seasoned. Overall, I'd get the chili cheese omelet again, but pass on the others that we tried today. I do wish they had a chicken fried chicken and waffles option for breakfast... I'd definitely want to try their fried chicken, but it's not on their breakfast menu, and the lunch menu isn't available until 11:30am.

This is my second visit to this restaurant, and the serving size for each dish were quite generous, so I would recommend sharing/splitting each dish with your friends and family. This restaurant occasionally accepts walk-ins, but they may advise you to make a reservation through the Disney app. We started with the "Walt's Chili, which was decent but not a dish I would return specifically for. However, the "Fried Pickles" was highly recommended and did not disappoint! We tried the "Parmesan Toasted Patty Melt" and "The Carnation Cafe Cheeseburger" for the gourmet burgers. The patty melt was good but a bit oily or buttery. The cheeseburger was huge, prompting us to split it among my family group. For sandwiches, the "Roasted Turkey Club" was delicious but a tad dry. Overall, I would consider ordering less and sharing!! The service was excellent! I suggest using the app to book a reservation, as there are instances where the restaurant may not accommodate walk-ins. Verify availability on the app before heading to the restaurant!

Carnation at Disney is a nice place for breakfast or lunch. Its small indoor seating gives it a cozy feeling. Combined with the outdoor seating, the capacity for seating doubles. The service was very good. Our server kept out beverage cups filled. The meals Carnation are American, and serves Walt's favorite Chili from his mom's recipe. The hamburger and chicken fried chicken were slightly overcooked. The hamburger and chicken fried chicken was a bit dry for my taste, but not to the point to avoid. Overall, Carnations is a decent eating spot in Disneyland. Making reservations would be the best to avoid the wait list.

Was able to grab a last minute reservation for a late lunch. Seated quickly when you check in through the Disney app. They will text you when they're ready for you. Seated outside and weather was fine since we went in December. Would probably be way too hot in summer. I got the braised short rib. Wasn't expecting cheez it's in the Mac and cheese lol. Overall I enjoyed my food but thought it was just basic for Disneyland. Service was quick. My sister got the fried chicken and she said it was dry and not enough gravy for her. She thought the portion was small.

Ok so its all about the breakfast here. The Breakfast Sandwich was delicious. And for only $14, very filling. A good deal here at the park. Start your day off right at Disneyland and come to Carnation Cafe and enjoy a yummy breakfast.

Carnation Cafe is an American restaurant in Disney Land park, Anaheim, CA. Carnation Cafe has a small selection of American classics - burgers, short ribs, sandwiches, daily special fish and classics like Wedge Salad and Chicken Sandwich. They have very nice fried dill pickles appetizer and a very nice and unusual baked potato soup. These were my favorite dishes here. It's a busy spot in Disney, that certainly requires a reservation. Service not bad for a spot that busy. Food: 3 stars Vibe: 4 stars Service: 3 stars Tips: Great Americana Disney vibe Busy and need reservation Deep fried pickles are great Most other food is "not bad" There is an outdoor patio and indoor dining

Another amazing dining experience, twice actually on this trip (summer 2023), to a historic landmark restaurant in the Disneyland Park. The wait is minimal with reservations and, always a request to sit indoors to enjoy the comfort of air conditioning. The decor, always charming and the restaurant team, equally as charming. The food is always delicious paired with attentive service that doesn't feel rushed and never overbearing either. Pictures of the dishes were finally taken for this review, with my past reviews missing these colorful additions to share what was enjoyed. A must try, the Smoked Turkey Club Sandwich with apple smoked bacon, tomato, lettuce, avocado, Monterey jack, mayo, lemon aioli all served between perfectly toasted sourdough bread. I always take french fries but, a cup of fresh fruit is also offered as an option. This dish makes the top of my list as the most delicious food item in the entire Disneyland Resort, the second is the mashed potatoes at the dinner buffet at Storyteller's Cafe. The fries are always cooked just right, even when paired with my juicy Carnation Cafe Cheeseburger enjoyed on another day. Walt's Chili and the Baked Potato Soup are always great appetizers to start with. Crispy on the outside and warm + moist on the inside, seasoned just enough. The garden entree salad was a good option to enjoy, something refreshing after a morning in the park. Tossed in a delicious green goddess dressing and topped with tomatoes and croutons, I had to ask for more of this yummy dressing to enjoy with my salad. And, the Chicken Fried Chicken, a good hearty entree choice, homey and comforting in every way. There is definitely something special here at the Carnation Cafe. It may not be all that fancy but everything is well done and delivered by the cast members who work there, with pride and love....the pride and love of having to serve guests like myself, at one of Walt's originals at his Disneyland. Dine here and you'll experience the charm and orchestrated perfection found nowhere else in the park, as Walt's love is delivered deliciously and respectfully.

Snagged a quick breakfast reservation thru the Disneyland up the day before our visit, call me lucky. We wanted to get our day started with some mickey shaped waffles, bacon and eggs. It was so cute. The service was kinda slow, we got our food before our utensils, so we had to wait for a bit. By the time I flagged down another server for utensils, my waffle was already cold. I still enjoyed my breakfast, and our server was very apologetic, it was her first day on the job, and the first day they launched alcohol service at Disneyland restaurants. So yes, people...they serve alcohol here!

Located on Main Street, Carnation Cafe is a full sit down restaurant serving American food and beer/wine. Overall, the food is higher quality than most places in Disneyland but also costs more. A reservation is pretty much a requirement to be able to eat here. The patty melt hamburger is tasty, better than the burgers you'll find at Galatic Grill or Hungry Bear. It has cheese crusted bread, more cheese inside, and seasoned fries. Wish the burger could have come a bit more medium rare. The best was the braised shortrib. Meat was tender, beans were crisp, and the mac and cheese was not too heavy but rather a thinner sauce.

I've been here twice already. Service was excellent both times. The first time was for lunch and the second for breakfast. Personally, I liked breakfast better but if you go for lunch I recommend the patty melt. It's a bit heavy but super delicious. Breakfast: Mickey Shaped Waffles - 5 stars for cuteness haha (: they were warm and fluffy. Walt's Chili Cheese Omelet - If you like Walt's chili, you'll love this. The chili was rich and added nice flavor to the plain omelette and potatoes. Breakfast Skillet - My least favorite out of the dishes we got but still good. Loved the type of sausage they used. Sweet Cream Cold Brew - I prefer the Black Caf from Star Wars more but this got the job done.

My husband and I had lunch reservations here following our Walt's Main Street story tour. We were seated outside right away and had a table facing Main St. I wasn't overly hungry but our waitress saw to it our needs were met. I ordered Walt's chili and it was so thick and rich it made a good little meal for me. My husband had the chicken fried chicken which I got to sample. It was good and was covered in a white sauce. Not too much to say about the green beans except they are green beans. The Carnation cafe is open for character breakfasts in the am and many people flock to it with dining reservations. I was happy with our lunch since it was the only place I could enjoy the chili as Walt Disney loved it. Located halfway up Main St USA on the left hand side of Disneyland reservations are highly recommended.

I ate here twice during my last trip. I didn't have reservations, so I used the wait list both times and was lucky enough to not have to wait very long. The ambiance inside is super cozy and the food is high quality. You can tell they use way better ingredients here than they do at Disney World places that serve breakfast. The pancakes were thick and fluffy, and the bacon was really good, too! (Disney World bacon STINKS.) I will definitely be back here on my next trip.

We lucked out and had a dinner reservation at 5:40pm before the street parade. We were able to get a table outside on the patio. When the parade went by, the worker told me I couldn't stand by the gate. I told her to calm down I was just taking a picture. The menu is limited but we settled for this reservation. Although I noted this was for a birthday celebration, they don't offer you anything nor acknowledge. Feels like the servers and workers are overworked or don't care. Started with the fried pickles, which was pretty good. Crispy panko breaded with some sort of orange sauce. Also had the bowl of Walts chili. The fried pickles were hot and the chili was just like warm. For our meals, I started with the salad and had the burger which was just a burger. He had the fried chicken sandwich which was just okay too. I think the menu items are mass produced and not made to order which is why everything comes out luke, room temperature. I wish our food was hot. Server was very busy and seemed overwhelmed.

You have to be in the park to eat here just as an FYI. Tbh I heard a lot of hype about this place and it was overwhelmingly average. The ambiance is cute, there are vintage glass chandeliers and wooden booths. Very homey feeling. Nice to sit after a long day in the park. The service is fast and the waiters are all polite. They did seem kinda scrambled the whole night which felt kinda off. If you want to eat here, I HIGHLY recommend doing a reservation an hour in advance. Start thinking about dinner around 4-5pm - everything will be booked up come 6-7pm even on slower days. The food itself is a disappointment. I was actually super impressed with a lot of the food we had the rest of the day, but the food here is just not it. If you have kids or people who are generally easy to please, its a good place to stop. But don't expect to be wowed. I had the burger and it was extremely bland and dry. Probably one of the worst I've had. But again, the non picky people in our group had no issues with it. The fries were great. My boyfriend had a fried bologna sandwich and he also said that was bland and forgettable. The third person in our party had the beef short rib over Mac and cheese and raved about it. I tried it - it's short rib (which to me always tastes good although this one was kinda on the bland side?) and the mac and cheese sauce was like alfredo but super plain. Pretty much tasted like pasta in cream. Not my thing but the person eating it was very satisfied lol. The final person in our party had a turkey sandwich for dinner and I'll concede that this was a solid choice. The turkey was hand carved and the olive oil on the bread tasted good. The bread itself was actually delicious and the bacon was great too. If I came back, that would be my pick. Overall I think it was a forgettable dinner experience, but if you're looking for something serviceable and have a "this will do" attitude, this is likely a good spot to check out.

Carnation cafe is a restaurant on Main Street Disney land. Offering are limited and reservations are also limited. The food was decent, prices were as expected for a pricey theme park. I'd recommend this more as a breakfast spot

We came here for a few different meals. One we had dinner reservations, and then a few days later we were able to get in on stand by for breakfast. Our service both times was great, and really fast. The first meal I had was the chicken fried chicken, which I highly recommend, and would order again. My guy had the patty melt. He seemed to like that pretty well. He, and his Brother also ordered some chili, which I tried, and I have to say was worth it. I think the SIL had a turkey sandwich. Our next meal being breakfast, I was a excited to order a Mickey Mouse waffle, with fresh fruit. I was sadly disappointed when it came out super cold, and could barely eat it. Hey, I was at least able to eat the fresh fruit, and get my Mickey Mouse waffle pics though. So there is that. So the low down, no breakfast, I would recommend just doing lunch, or dinner here.

We've always loved carnation cafe! If you can score a beautiful patio seat, the lighting and the atmosphere is perfect. This is a location that now serves beer! So that is also exciting! The soup, burgers, everything is really tasty!

Carnation Cafe is one of the most "Disney" dining experiences possible. Nothing like experiencing rope drop and running to Carnation for Mickey pancakes! Outside for breakfast is the cutest experience, staff is friendly and works tirelessly. Uniforms are cute - a blast from the past! So nostalgic. A classic vibe that fits in with the rest of Main Street, it's certainly a fun way to start out a magical day. Next up? Space Mountain and Emporium shopping after!

Another sit down restaurant I've never been to in Disneyland. We did not have a reservation, but I was able to join the walkup line midday. The wait wasn't bad, around 15 minutes, and they'll notify you via app/text once your table is ready. I really wanted to come here for their... +fried pickles, and oh gosh were they delicious. They're fried pickle spears, so they were super juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. I asked for ranch since it comes with this special sauce, but I think fried pickles are the best with ranch - texas roadhouse, anyone? Anyways, I'm definitely coming back for that. My boyfriend ordered one of their current specials: French dip sandwiches. It was just okay, you couldn't really taste the horseradish/mustard so it was a little bland. I asked our server about the fried chicken sandwich - apparently that's a special that only comes around during Halloween time. Unfortunate! That looked delicious. $20 + Peach pie a la mode: sooo good. Granted, we could tell that the peaches were canned, but the pie crust was deliciously flaky, and the pie itself was freshly baked. Tons of vanilla ice cream on top, it was overall really good and enough to share. Service was pretty fast, and our server was nice. We would definitely come back, it's great to be able to sit down in Disneyland, especially for a yummy bite.

Came to Disneyland with my cousins and they made reservations at the Carnation Cafe. As we checked in to be seated, we were told to wait for the table to be ready. We waited about 5 minutes before we got seated. The employees were very nice and helpful with all the questions we had regarding the menu. The food itself was good. Everything had good presentation and was delectable. The Baked Potato Soup was delicious as was the Chicken Fried Chicken. Another item selected was the Walt's Chili, which was also hearty and good. Overall, the food and service was great. There is limited indoor seating, so most people get seated outdoors. Though there are umbrellas, it can still get pretty warm sitting out there. Drink plenty of fluids and enjoy.

Got on the wait list one evening and got a table probably about an hour later. Our server was great, the baked potato soup was amazing ! But I ordered the wedge after seeing it but I really didn't like it. The blue cheese dressing tasted like some sort of vinaigrette and it was not good at all. I ended up sending it back because I couldn't. My hubby had the Parmesan patty melt and it was good. The portions are a good size and it's a nice break from the maddness if you want a table service experience inside the park.

I popped into the Carnation Cafe on a Sunday morning around 11 am after rope drop and it was quite busy, with good reason! I tried joining the virtual queue but it was full so this place fills up rather quickly. I recommended a reservation but making it a few weeks beforehand. Nonetheless, we were able to put our names down for breakfast and waited about 30 minutes. Even with the hustle and bustle of the morning crowd, cast members were super nice and patient with everyone. Service was quick and food came out quick with no lack in quality. The Mickey waffles aren't just for the aesthetic. They are delicious and come with a side of bacon, fruit, butter and syrup. I'm sad they don't come with two waffles. My husband and I ordered the egg skillet and the Mickey waffle plate to shared. It was a filling breakfast with a good balance of savory and sweet items. Since it was a hot day, I opted for an iced coffee. It's a regular cold brew with sweet cream (like Starbucks). I'll have to come back and try the lunch menu as I hear it's just as good if not better than breakfast.

Food was amazing .. perfection. Service was awesome! Made reservations and was taken back to our table within minutes.
