Our granddaughter really loved celebrating her birthday here. The Disney characters came by and really made her feel special. The cast members are really awesome at how they interact with guests. The wait staff were awesome. Super friendly and accommodating. They seemed focused on making your visit memorable. The food was okay. They have a big selection and everything seemed fresh. I did find that most of it was rather bland. The one thing that stood out to me as being very good was the tri-tip. Lots of desserts. I looked relatively clean. The carpet looks way overdue for replacement. Some areas were in tatters. Prices were a bit out there. It seems you are paying more for the venue and the entertainment. The food does not seem worth it. It was nice they validated parking. read more

We had an amazing time at Goofy's Kitchen inside the Disneyland Hotel! From the moment we arrived, the experience was full of Disney magic. We got to take pictures with Goofy before being seated, and throughout breakfast the Disney characters came around to every table for meet-and-greets, photos, hugs, and even a fun dance party that had everyone smiling. The buffet-style breakfast had a huge selection of food, with something for everyone. While the breakfast itself was good, the real highlight was the incredible atmosphere and character interactions. It was such a fun and memorable experience for both kids and adults. If you're looking for a unique Disney dining experience filled with great entertainment and magical moments, Goofy's Kitchen is definitely worth a visit! The family will love it . read more

Goofy's Kitchen - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

It's has been as several years since we have dined at Goofy's Kitchen inside the Disneyland Hotel. Today, on their actual birthday (7/24), with a noon reservation, we tried this nostalgic place again. What better way to celebrate my twins' birthday than with their fun drama friends. At first, we were underwhelmed as it seemed like the characters were less enthusiastic and animated. Goofy was acting "nonchalant" as the these teens put it, which is uncharacteristic of his personality. Maybe it was because they aren't little kids anymore, or maybe it was because it was towards the end of the dining experience and the cast was tired? We gave them the benefit of the doubt and focused on dining. Minnie was on the mellow side and Dale wasn't as dorky as usual. Pluto was playful and nice. All of them were courteous hosts per the usual standard. Then, I noticed Chip (Dale's counterpart), being quite playful and animated with some of the guests. After one of the character dance parades, on their way out on their break, Chip interacted with our table by playing a prank taking one girl's jacket and pretending it was stolen by one of the birthday girls. Everyone was laughing and invested. From this point on, it was our highlight to seek out Chip. He did not disappoint. Now, this was the level of interaction we were looking for. He never passed our table without acknowledging us. Whomever this wonderful cast member was, thank you! Please don't ever change and keep up this wonderful energy. Everyone at the table was thoroughly entertained and fully engaged. Our girls said, "Chip was the GOAT!" Towards the end of our dining experience, the other characters all started to loosen up and come by. ALL of them were so gracious and patient in taking individual pictures with each member of our party for their autographs books. They stopped by frequently and checked in on us with their interactive personalities. Minnie, hostess with the mostess, asked about our dining experience and love of the food. Since we were near the exit, all the characters would come by, hang out, and play around with our party and then move on. What started out as a mellow experience, ending up being better than what we hoped for our girls' birthday! They all made it so special and wonderful that we left a gratitude note for the cast. We even left one specifically for Chip with Ashley, the Character Host. She was amazing and helped to inform us about how we can leave a raving review about our experience (through the app). Mario, our waiter, made sure our dining needs were met and that the birthday girls received their birthday cupcakes with a festive celebratory song. All in all, this was an excellent experience. We have great Goofy's Kitchen memories stemming from the time the kids were babies until their pre-teens. Thank you, to all the cast members, who helped to make our girls' birthday extra special and memorable. read more

Great experience you definitely are able to meet with the characters and get the autographs and photos you might miss out on while in the parks. Good was a little pricey for a buffet but the fruit was exceptionally fresh. Served was also beyond words kind! And the characters were utterly hilarious as always it makes you feel like a big kid. read more

Goofy's Kitchen is a character dining option at the Disneyland resort inside the Disneyland Hotel. They validate three hours of parking so that gives you time to eat and walk it off after at downtown Disney. The check-in process is easy and while you're waiting to be called up, you can take your photo with Goofy in his kitchen. There is a cast member there taking photos and it's complimentary for your visit. They give you a photo pass so you can download it from your Disneyland app. Service is always stellar in any area of the resort. Our waitress, Barbara, took excellent care of us. When you arrive at your table, there are Goofy's Kitchen pins waiting for you and they take your drink orders immediately. Alcohol and any special crafted drinks are extra but you get your regular fountain drinks and juices for the kids. We did the dinner buffet and it had some good options. Their kale and broccoli salad were really good. I had some honey glazed salmon and it was as good as you would expect honey glazed salmon to be at an endless buffet. They had a carving station for various protein option and the kids section had pizza, Mac and cheese, corn dogs, fries, and chicken tenders. Their dessert spread was great! I really enjoyed their crème brûlée and carrot cake. Barbara offered some coffee to pair with my dessert, which I was dying for but I passed on it because coffee at 6 pm is never a good idea. My niece got to see Minnie Mouse, Chip, Dale, Donald, and Pluto while we enjoyed our food. She jumped in excitement and the characters did such a good job interacting with her. It's a must-do if you have kids. read more

I don't know why all the negative reviews here for Goofy's Kitchen. No one should be going in thinking you're getting a Michelin star dining experience. You're there for the characters and the food is buffet food. Honestly everything I ate today was tasty and I would order it again. The biscuits and gravy were the only miss for me. The tri tip was flavorful and tender. The miso salmon was delicious. The bacon was thick and crispy. Made to order omelette was great and had a nice cheese pull too! Service was excellent and our drinks were continuously refilled and she even got us some drinks to go once we were done. read more

We've always loved coming here for kids' birthday celebrations, but unfortunately this last experience is one I'll never forget. During our visit, one of the characters accidentally bumped into my child, causing him to fall and hit his forehead on the floor. I'm very thankful that a nurse was brought over to check on him and that a report was taken immediately. However, after the incident I was extremely shaken and uncomfortable. I could barely enjoy my meal because my focus was entirely on my son and making sure he was okay. Despite what happened, we were still charged full price for our meal, which was disappointing considering the circumstances. Thankfully, we had not entered the park that day, but the incident completely changed the experience for our family. I kept my son right by my side afterward while walking back to our table to feed him. I understand accidents can happen, but I do think the characters should be more careful and avoid walking too quickly around small children. I hope this feedback helps improve safety for other families visiting in the future. read more

Goofy's Kitchen - The bump on his head after he fell. - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

Goofy's Kitchen is one of our favorite character dining experiences at Disneyland. The food spread is impressive, and whether you're visiting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there's truly something for everyone. There are plenty of options for both adults and kids, from classic comfort foods to healthier choices, and don't even get me started on the desserts. There are so many sweet treats to choose from that it's hard to save room for all of them! The real highlight, though, is the character interactions. The characters spend a lot of time visiting tables, taking photos, and interacting with guests, and we've always had great experiences. It never feels rushed, and it's a fun way to meet multiple characters without standing in long lines in the parks. Is it expensive? Absolutely. But between the variety of food, the quality of the character interactions, and the overall fun atmosphere, we've always felt it was worth it. If you're looking for a Disney dining experience that's fun for the whole family, Goofy's Kitchen is hard to beat. read more

This was such a fun character buffet. Loud and definitely in your face Disney, but so fun for the kids. I knocked off a star because my family and I do feel that the Storyteller's Cafe character dining experience is superior to this for both the characters and food variety, but this is a close second. I highly recommend the PB and J pizza! read more

We always LOVE dining at Goofy's kitchen! Character dining is so fun and the buffet is delicious! Food-10/10. We usually go for breakfast for the Mickey shaped waffles. They are soooo yummy. They even have gluten free ones (you need to ask your server about it) and they are really good. It's a buffet full of lots of breakfast, brunch, and desserts. The food is good and unlimited. Characters- 100/10. Character dining is so fun! Before you get seated, your party takes a picture with Goofy in his kitchen setup. Characters also come by to every table so everyone has a chance to meet them and take pictures/videos. Every so often, they also do a little parade through the restaurant which is really fun. They also have different outfits for the holidays, which is really cute! Service- 10/10. Service is great! So welcoming and kind! Extras- We got free validated downtown disney parking which is nice. If it's someone's birthday, they will bring a birthday cupcake! read more

We took our 15-month-old daughter to Goofy's Kitchen and it was such a special experience. At that age, you never know how they'll react The characters were amazing with her.

The lady at the parking booth is extremely rude for no reason when checking in our party for Goofys Kitchen. Was there for my granddaughters birthday and she loved all the characters coming by the table. The service is excellent and everyone was very friendly. However, the food was gross, and I'm putting that nicely. Food temperature not kept at proper temperature and all waffles and bread items were very stale. Eggs were undercooked and obviously not done. How this food passes inspection is beyond me! California food inspectors need to take another look!! read more

Overpriced, yet somehow the memories made here are worth every penny. We had some great interactions with the characters. Only complaint is regarding cleanliness... at one point the syrup ramekins were all dirty in the "clean" spot by the food. Other than that our wait staff and host were great. Not sure if we would do it again...but don't regretting doing it at all. read more

You really can't hate on Goofy's Kitchen. Goofy's Kitchen started my love affair with buffets at a young age. I recently returned for the first-time as an adult and it was magical sharing this experience with my cousin's kiddos. While the food is decent, the character meet and greets are truly what make this place shine. We met Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald. It's pretty much a cheat code to avoid hours and hours of lines inside Disneyland Park. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the menu. We attended for brunch ($80 a person) which includes endless breakfast items. I tried the chilaquiles, fried chicken and waffles pizza, salad, fruit, and a number of desserts for funsies. The kids were obsessed with the Mickey shaped waffles and the ice cream machine + build your own sundae station. I was a little bummed to find out that coffee wasn't included. We ordered iced lattes with a shot of vanilla (very average) and were charged an additional $8. I feel like an $80 buffet should cover coffee? You definitely don't want under caffeinated parents around this many children. read more

We had a great experience here back in November of 2025 for my nieces 7th birthday. We had a reservation for somewhat of a large party and we didn't have to wait very long for our table to be ready. Once we sat down we were greeted by the best waiter. He is hands down the best, is hilarious, and did a great job helping us if we needed anything. I wished I remembered his name, but I would come back if it meant he was our waiter again. I felt like the food selection was better than at Storytellers. It wasn't pure chaos inside while we were there. We saw so many characters and even saw some of them more than once. I enjoyed that they danced and did a march through the entire restaurant like a little cavalcade. The food was pretty good too. Just standard for buffets. I'd love to come back here when they're dressed in their Halloween attire or during Christmas time next. Goofy's Kitchen is located inside the Disneyland Hotel and you don't need to stay at the hotel in order to dine there. If you're visiting the parks, you'll have to walk all the way to the end of downtown Disney and out past security check in to get to the hotel. That means when you're done you will need to go through security again to get back into downtown Disney. They don't allow Disneyland scooters into the hotel so you will have to park them right outside security and walk to the hotel from there. If you rented from a 3rd party company those are allowed. The walk from security to the hotel isn't very long. read more

Goofy's Kitchen - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

Went to Goofy's Kitchen and honestly felt it was overpriced for what you get. For four people, the total was pretty high, especially since the tip is already included. The character experience was underwhelming -- we only saw a few characters, and Minnie was the only main one. For that price, I expected to at least see Mickey. The food was just mediocre. There are options like prime rib, shrimp, pizza, and chicken nuggets, but nothing really stood out in terms of taste. I think it might be worth it if you're bringing kids for the experience, but as an adult, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm glad I tried it once, but I wouldn't go back. read more

For my birthday, I booked Goofy's Kitchen Celebrates Halloween! Breakfast to try this location out for the first time. I've heard a lot about it, but never had someone to dine with me and didn't want to do it solo. It is a bit steep of a price for breakfast, but the buffet does offer quite the selection. From a fresh salad bar to Mickey Shaped Waffles and Pancakes to even chicken tenders and Mac n Cheese even at breakfast time. Heck, there's even ice cream and toppings! I definitely think anyone could find something they'd enjoy here with the selection of items. For $69, I'm not sure it was worth the value unless celebrating something and not my every Disney trip stop for dining. Though the service, characters, and selections were great the ambiance was dwindled by the commotion in the dining area. I get that there are a lot of kids as this is a highly sought after experience for children, but I found the noise to be quite jarring. Even when they played music as it was quite loud were we were seated. A feel times were overstimulating, but it still was a great experience that I'd recommend to others. Get those napkins ready to twirl in the air - time to celebrate with Goofy and friends. Have those cameras or cell phones ready to snap photos as characters do roam throughout your meal. Wherever you decide to dine, have a magical day! read more

Such a great experience!! We joined Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast and had a great time! The experience started off with a meet and greet with Goofy in his kitchen area. He took time with each kid, not just a quick snap and go. Love that you get the pics directly to the Disney app and not an added cost. Next we were seated and met the server. She was very sweet and made sure we were taking care of. While dining, we also got the opportunity to Spend time with Pluto, Chip and Dale. Goofy circled back by too! Food was what you expect from a bit nicer buffet. Nothing spectacular but nothing bad either. It was nice to have a good selection for picky kids. Everyone left full and happy! read more

We went for my nephews birthday, it was so cute seeing him interact with all the characters. We got a lot of time with Chip and Dale as well as Clarabelle. We had to track down Mickey and Minnie. When you first get there, you take a picture with Goofy and then you get seated and that's kind of the only time we saw Goofy. There were lots of options for breakfast we didn't know where to start. The food was pretty good and the numerous options are great for picky kids. It is a little pricey, it was $60 per person. read more

If you want to know how to go broke in seconds then I highly recommend going here. Literally! For what we paid I could've fed my family for a month. ($900+ for a family of 12- 3 under age 7) I mean this was breakfast! I know food prices have gone up but this is ridiculous! Disney sure knows how to take the happy out of "The happiest Place on earth". Not to mention there were only 4 characters present. I expected the whole clan to be there at this price. Even Minnie missed the party. Never again! Never have I paid this much for breakfast and shouldn't have to. Food wasn't anything special either. Very disappointing! I want a refund! read more

Everything went well! The food at goofy's kitchen was cooked perfectly. We did the dinner buffet. I do wish they had melted butter for the crab. But that's just a personal preference. This buffet is so convenient because it's open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner! You can eat here before going to the park. Pro tip; make a reservation on the Disneyland app ahead of time!! At least one week. This is a popular buffet and it gets really busy. Meeting the characters was so lovely. They come out every 10-15 minutes. My toddler's reaction to meeting them were priceless. Kids 2 and under eat free. Prices vary depending on which time you go. They accept walk-ins, but it's not guaranteed. They have breakfast pizzas. Ambiance is loud and fun. read more

What a unique dining experience filled with opportunities to see classic Disney characters. The buffet has something for everyone. I love that there's a section where the food is on a lower shelf that's accessible to kids. My favorite foods were the tri tip, Mac n cheese, grilled pineapple, and cucumbers from the salad bar. There were many salad options, but they all were doused in dressing. There were a ton of dessert options. The cakes were dry, but I enjoyed the creme rules and soft serve ice cream. The part that makes this place special is the interaction with the characters. They have music and a mini parade every 20 minutes. We got to see Minnie, Pluto, the chipmunks, and Goofy. Parade aside, sometimes the characters walked around and interacted with each table, this was the best. We could take photos with them. Kids can have conversations with them. In our case, Pluto helped us cheer up a crying baby. What a life saver! Overall the service was good. We love our server who had a dry humor and she visited our table often to check in on us. There was a very grumpy fellow serving the tri tip, but he gave large slices. So not a perfect 5 star experience, but definitely a memorable one. Would recommend for groups with kids or groups who want to interact with characters. Otherwise, eating anywhere else is cheaper. read more

I had the best time at Goofy's Kitchen! The staff, the service, the Characters and the food were all fantastic! It was my first time here and it was Halloween themed! I felt like a child again seeing Goofy, Minnie, Dale and Chip! They had rotations and just kept coming around our table. We took so many photos and videos and the characters were so patient and sweet. The buffet was a suprise! I had the ravioli, crab claws, prime rib, mash potatoes and fall roasted veggies. 10/10 They had so many things to try for dessert. I started off with a big cone of ice cream and lots of sprinkles. The cookies, pumpkin blonde, brownies and apple pie were all so good! All in all, I would love to visit again! Just the whole experience will be forever memorable! read more

If you're looking for recommendations--this place is definitely a must if you're a Disney character lover! Your kids will have an amazing time, and honestly, seeing their smiles alone makes it worth a 5-star rating. The food isn't bad, but it's not the highlight--there aren't too many options, and it's more about the experience and the memories. We've been coming here for years (about 19 to be exact!), and the service has always been top-notch. Goofy is always around, and you'll usually see Minnie, Pluto, and Chip and Dale too. I do wish they would add a few more characters over time, just to keep things fresh. Still, I absolutely recommend it--especially if you're visiting with kids. The joy and excitement on their faces is priceless! read more

Goofy's Kitchen offers a fun variety of food and opportunities to meet characters while dining. The restaurant is definitely geared towards family dining and making memories with your kids, which it is great at! The vegetarian/vegan offerings were way less this year (2026) than they had been last time I was here (2023). I think this is a cultural thing for the United States- but the servers were not friendly. We ordered a wine tasting flight, she didn't even bother to tell us which wine was which (they were all cheap American wine anyways). In the United States, it's normal for them to take your credit card into the back to process the payment. However, using a non-American card presented some issues. The servers expected us to give our credit card password to process the payment. Absolutely not. She then understood how weird that would be, and let us come into the back to put in the password. read more

I honestly would not go here. The amount of money you pay for food that looks like it's out of the cheapest buffet in Vegas and the few characters you get to see for barely 1 minute is WILD. I am extremely disappointed in Disney for taking so much advantage of people. I mean they do in general but this feel like the lowest of the low. More than half the food doesn't even look edible. HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE THE FRIES LOOK FRESH AND YUMMY. FRIES FOR GOD SAKES! They could do so much better. $175 for two people is hilarious. OUTRIGHT RIP OFF. I feel so bad for any of you that pay to go here. Literally not worth it. Maybe $40 a person in total because you know some food and the few characters.. EAT THE STRAWBERRIES WHICH FOR SURE AREN'T ORGANIC BUT THEY LOOKED SO FRESH AND TASTED YUMMY Super disappointed. read more

Came here to celebrate my 2 year old's birthday. Service is superb. They were able to accommodate one more person that we had originally reserved, our server was on top of the drink orders and picking up extra plates and making sure we were great. The characters did come around to the tables a couple of times and towards the end, the manager did come in to check on us to confirm that we had seen all the characters. Just FYI- the photos are free and Goofy does not walk around the tables. The only way to grab him is at the beginning when you are walking in. If you miss him like we did, you are welcome to get another photo when you are heading out. We were told that the only time Goofy really walks around is towards the end of the night when the last reservation time has passed. Parking is covered for three hours but you need to park in the Disneyland Hotel lot. Either valet or self parking. Up to you. The only downside was that we were seated in a corner and we felt disconnected from the rest of the restaurant. Every 40mins/hour the characters do a little dance and walk around and because of our seating arrangement, we were not able to witness it or be a part of it. It was busy, so we did not say anything but it would be nice to have that space open instead of being covered. read more

We went to Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast the morning we were leaving Disney. We thought about cancelling our reservation because we saw so many characters in the park, but my son loves Chip and Dale and hadn't gotten autographs yet so we decided to keep it. This was exactly what you think it is. The breakfast buffet was delicious but not game changing (and anybody expecting it to be has different expectations than are fair for a buffet with kid-friendly food), but what you really go for are the character interactions. Each character comes around to all the tables and says hi, signs autographs, and takes as many pics as you want. My kids had the time of their lives, and it was a perfect ending to a perfect Disney trip. Shout out to all the birthdays (it's clear that it's a birthday celebration place!), and to the characters with their parade dance party every 30min (I am guessing that's when the character actors switch?). It was a blast and we strongly recommend it! read more

I honestly don't love buffets but this breakfast was an absolute dream for my young kids! They had the opportunity to meet so many different characters in one place for multiple times and my daughter still talks about how she "met" them, which totally made the experience worthwhile. We made a reservation for 7:35am (East Coast time FTW) and upon checking in, we were escorted for a photo opportunity with Goofy himself! The character interactions were constant and genuinely engaging. Goofy, Minnie, Pluto, and Chip & Dale all made multiple rounds, dancing and posing for photos and engaging with our kids with pure enthusiasm. My kids were wide eyed and enjoying every moment! The buffet offered a wide range of choices, from the usual Mickey-shaped waffles, pizza, meats, and fruit. As an adult, I thought the food was mediocre and it was more about quantity than quality, but it was fun to see all of the whimsical touches. Service was accommodating throughout our meal. If you're visiting Disneyland, Goofy's Kitchen is definitely a memory maker for your kids. read more

Our first time at Goofy's kitchen was such a great experience! First, waiter Tyrone was the BEST! It was the college basketball championship game (Go Blue!) and Tyrone was amazing to chat basketball and college football with, while he ensured we had everything we needed. Our kids loved the character experience - our 4 year old son was in LOVE and made sure we knew how pretty Clarabelle was! Meeting Goofy in the beginning really set the tone of our experience. There were a decent amount of food options, but knowing we were coming for the overall experience, we didn't have high expectations. Our kids didn't complain once (win!) and actually ate (double win!). They also loved the endless dessert options and quantities. Truly this was a dinner for them, and they loved it. Is it expensive for a buffet? Yes, but watching the magic in your kids' eyes is worth it! read more
