Carnation Cafe

SERVICE (2/5):Absolutely sucked. We were seated quick, within 15 minutes. Once seated, it took the waitress over 20 minutes to even acknowledge us. No water, I'll be right there, or anything! AMBIANCE (3/5): this place is SMALL! But they turnover people really fast. The food comes out quick, the service just sucks. So waiting time was long but once you ordered it was pretty fast. FOOD (4/5):$19 CHILI CHEESE OMELETTE: I'd come back just for this! It was so yummy. Trust me & order it! $19 BREAKFAST SKILLET: definitely more carb heavy, but if that's what you're craving also another great option. $17 MICKEY SHAPED WAFFLE: it's one big Mickey waffle! Crispy & delicious. Everything tastes better in the shape of Mickey. They serve alcohol here!

For the longest time, I've dreamt about coming to Carnation Cafe. I've heard so much about the magic of this place. My girlfriend finally took the initiative and managed to make a reservation. But when the time finally came, my dreams were crushed.We're vegan, so we got the allergy-friendly version of the Mickey-shaped Waffles. It was disappointing! The waffles are just too dry, crumbly, and had the gluten-free taste. In fact, it didn't really taste like waffles. But I appreciate that they included vegan/plant-based butter and syrup. Also, the potatoes were nicely seasoned and pretty delicious.We were seated outdoors but there is also indoor seating available. Like with many of Disneyland's dining areas, the tables were crammed together. A friendly server took our order and they were knowledgeable about the vegan options. Even though the food wasn't ideal, the experience was good. Also, they have a bathroom right at the outdoor dining area which is convenient.Vegans: if you're interested in the experience of dining at Carnation Cafe, then go for it. But if you're seeking quality plant-based food, then find another place.

We came to Carnation Cafe as our first restaurant at Sweethearts nite! We all tried a bit of everything & I have a few favorites: the fried pickle + the fried provolone.The fried provolone was perfectly crispy and tasted SOOO yummy + paired nicely with the flavorful marinara sauce. My other fav was the fried pickle -- I would litcherally only come here just for that LOL it was so perfectly crispy ! The service was super quick, we all got our food quickly which was nice because we were all starving. I would def come back to Carnation Cafe next time I'm at Disney :-)

The food is awesome and we enjoy eating here when we visit. The chili is particularly good and is "Walt's fave recipe." The service is always prompt (with a reservation) - walk up can be a wait... IF POSSIBLE TO BE SEATED... reservations suggested!!! The wedge salad is great too. Today we got chili for an appetizer and the guacamole burger for our meaning entree.The fresh fruit with the kids menu items (adult offering too) is always good and fresh and delish! This restaurant is convenient and clean and always a hit with our family right on Main Street and right on price!

Walt's ChiliChunks of beef, beans and nice kick, with cornbread crisps. Very tasty chili but not the cornbread crisps were not crispy, some were.Chef SaladJust ok.Chicken Fried ChickenVery good however portion a bit small, with mashed potatoes, gravy and mashes potatoes. Good flavor.Peach pie ala modeThis pie was fire.Rate food 3.5 overall.Ben our server was top shelf. Rate a 5.

I am only rating this on the gluten - free breakfast sandwich & potatoes. Yikes the bun - it was harder than a Popeyes Chicken biscuit. I wanted to dip the bun in water but I suffered through it and took one for the team instead of sending it back and walking out. The potatoes were underwhelming. Disneyland needs to do better with quality since we spend an arm and a leg and financing just to walk in this place. The staff as usual is great and so accommodating. I didn't want to bother them with my "first world problems" because there was 8000 people there just waiting to get in. Won't be back again.

Carnation Café at Disneyland provided a lovely dining experience that's definitely worth trying if you're in the park. I ordered the orange cream soda and the braised short ribs. The orange cream soda was decent--it tasted like Fanta with whipped cream on top. It was enjoyable, but not quite the classic cream soda I was hoping for.The braised short ribs, on the other hand, were incredibly tender and flavorful, though they leaned on the salty side. Thankfully, the creamy mashed potatoes balanced the dish nicely and made it more enjoyable overall.Do note that reservations are a must, as it's a popular spot. The ambiance and service made it a delightful break from the hustle of the park. I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and to try more of the menu!

Got a reservation for 10:20am on Sunday.Ordered the Mickey Waffle ($17), Breakfast Skillet & Veggie Skillet.Both skillets were so yummy! Very flavorful and not too overly salty. We had to get the iconic Mickey waffle but it's definitely not worth the $17 price tag. The pancakes have better value because you get a stack of 3 versus this one waffle.Their drip coffee and speciality coffee drinks are great! This is a lovely location to people watch and enjoy the vibes of Disneyland.

You NEED to have a ticket or pass to enter inside Disneyland where this restaurant is located! It is recommended to have a reservation to dine in. They also have a standby queue but not guaranteed for dining in.The server was friendly and took notes of allergies. It did take a while to get refills on our beverages, but we got them.I ordered their braised short ribs and I'm not going to lie, this dish has gotten worse each time I've dined in. It was extremely salty. I suggest getting their parmesan burger! That was way tastier than what I ordered. Their baked potato soup was delicious. I wish there was more than just one size.We also ordered the peach cobbler. The crust was just right but it didn't taste like fresh peaches. It was really sweet in my opinion.We sat outside so nosie level was loud. They had a ton of heating lamps and I felt it was almost too hot for my head.

Got us a table fast, but food took forever to get there! People who came after us were being served before us.
