Disneyland's in-park restaurants, snacks, and drinks can be a bit pricey, but there are still some gems worth trying. I've previously written a review of Flo's V8 Café in Disney California Adventure for its tasty fried chicken and relatively affordable prices. This time, I wanted to highlight Plaza Inn in Disneyland Park. While it offers a Character Dining Buffet during breakfast (reservation required, $50 for adults and $30 for kids), for lunch and dinner, it's more of a quick-service spot. You can walk in, order your meal, and take it to your table, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is beautiful and elegant --perfect for photos!
In the afternoon, we ordered the Fried Chicken Plate. It was more filling than expected, with three pieces of fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, a buttermilk biscuit, and green beans, all for $19.99. The portion is perfect for 1-2 people, and my husband and I shared it as an afternoon snack--it was just right! Our friends also ordered the same dish, and if you have kids, there's a more affordable Kid's Menu option. For example, one of the kids in our group got the Penne Pasta for $7.99.
If anyone in your group has food allergies (e.g., eggs, dairy, peanuts, fish, etc.), make sure to let the cashier know when ordering. They offer allergy-friendly meal options, and you can also find detailed allergen information directly in the Disneyland app for substitutions.
