Had to try Great Maple while staying at Pixar Place Hotel and it did not disappoint! I tried the smoked bacon scramble and the cinnamon toast Brew Bear cold brew. And of course we had to try their donuts - maple bacon and the seasonal offering of pumpkin spice latte. I really enjoyed the scramble with bacon, tomatoes, white cheddar and smashed avocado. Everything paired well together. The sour cream and onion scalloped potatoes were perfect. The cold brew coffee was so good and for extra you can buy your own bear cup. Everything was so delicious! I loved the decor and all of the employees were friendly. It is a very nice place for brunch!
Easy reservation online, we did ours same day. We booked for a 6:45 pm and were seated within a few minutes. I believe Elvis was our server, he was a joy, he looked happy and so friendly. We had the tropical merm-ade to drink, the steakhouse burger and the turkey bolognese. Husband and I were really surprised with the quality of the meal. Big portions too, we love every item we had. Ambiance, look and feel of the place was very inviting and cozy. We'll definitely be back, fair prices for the taste and amount of food you get.
Great Maple is in the Pixar Hotel at Disneyland. I got the chilaquiles and vanilla latte. I thought the chilaquiles was a bit soggy but the flavors were good. The latte was solid and the restaurant was beautiful inside. The food was okay but I feel like you definitely pay for the ambiance. You can park inside the parking structure and they validate your parking ticket for you after.
Was looking into Brunch options for Easter Sunday and I knew I wanted something at Disney. My sis mentioned she had never been so my boyfriend made a reservation in the Disneyland App! We drove after church and decided to self-park instead of valet (you get 3 hours free parking when you validate). They have a small parking garage behind the hotel. We walked over and checked in. While waiting we went to the Sketch Pad Cafe to grab some coffee and Bing Bong decided to stop by! We received a text our table was ready and we were seated. Our server let us know they had a chocolate fountain for Easter Brunch (an additional cost) if we wanted to try. We opted out. We ended up ordering the following: - Portobello Mushrooms Fries: 10/10! The cuts for the "fries" were pretty thick and seasoned well! Came with basil pesto aioli for dipping! Great to share. - French Toast Logs: 9/10! Thick cuts of bread and was well seasoned! We had them top it with strawberries and it was drizzled with syrup. - Smoked Bacon Scramble: 10/10! Perfect amount of cheesy goodness! I loved the scalloped potatoes! And it also came with toast! - Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich: 10/10! My boyfriend devoured it! He said it was nice and juicy and a good size! He upgraded his side to Parmesan Truffle Fries. He was stuffed after! - Steakhouse Burger: 9/10! My sis loved it! She added an egg on top and had a side of fries. She loved the patty was cooked to her liking correctly! Overall we had a wonderful time! The place is very lively and the staff is attentive and friendly! Food was good and we all left with full bellies! Best part is you can walk over to Downtown Disney after to walk off the food! Will come back to try dinner next time!
Stayed at Pixar Place and ate here a total of 3 times (not by choice but the conference we were at served lunch here). First night we got the fried chicken and donuts. A huge mistake here as the donuts were very stale compared to when we tried the donuts earlier in the day the next two days - it tasted more fresh then. It's also really heavy so highly recommend ordering this to share rather than for one person. We also had the lemon shrimp pasta, which was really good but pasta was overdone with the lemon causing a sour taste. Day two I tried the hot honey chicken sandwich, which was the best thing I had there. This chicken was super flavorful and juicy. Comes with a side of fries that were very stale. Day three I had the chicken caesar salad which I do not recommend - the chicken was cooked but squeaky like as if it was raw. Convenient meal for those staying at the hotel but I wouldn't go out of your way for it. Service is impeccable though for what it's worth!!
We grabbed breakfast with some family before a long day and coming to Great Maple started off our day on a high note. The food was delicious. I didn't expect the large portions, so I did have some leftovers for later on in the day. I've been to the San Diego Great Maple location previously and the menu is slightly different. They did have the infamous maple bacon donuts, which still remain amazing. I forgot how large they actually are and was honestly comparable to the size of my toddler's face. The service was great. Our server Matthew was definitely memorable and so kind. He was patient when it came down to placing the kids orders, which I was so grateful for. People within our group had various allergies and they made sure who had what allergies from when we created the reservation, arrived at check-in, as we ordered AND received the food. I hadn't visited the restaurant prior to the hotel remodel; I do believe that Great Maple did a great job at combining the Great Maple aesthetic with some whimsical Disney aspect. Part of it was definitely giving a hint of a Princess & The Frog aesthetic, with vintage Mickey -- if that helps as a visual? We'd definitely love to come back when during another family trip.
Great Maple at Pixar Place Hotel was AMAZING!! Came for brunch, food was delicious, mimosas were really good, and the Christmas decorations were beautiful. Service was great; we sat at the bar and both the manager and the lady taking care of us were awesome! They also have a little patio outside with a fireplace , so in the afternoon you can grab your drinks go outside, chill, and enjoy the vibe. Definitely coming back.
Great Maple in Anaheim is a good spot that hits all the right notes -- and if you're in the area visiting the Disney Parks, it's a great choice!!! Walking in, we were immediately charmed by the dining room. The space is bright, open, and beautifully appointed -- Disney and Pixar artwork decorates the walls throughout, giving the whole place a warm personality that feels right at home in the Disney Pixar Hotel. The room is well-lit and genuinely spacious, so you never feel cramped, which is a real treat when you're used to crowded theme-park restaurants. Now, the star of the breakfast menu: the French Toast Logs. Thick-cut brioche, perfectly golden, served with warm maple syrup and fresh blueberries -- this dish is the reason to come here. The brioche had that ideal balance of soft interior and slightly crisp edge, and the blueberries were bright and fresh. Honestly, one of the best French toast dishes I've had in a long time. The staff was friendly and genuinely warm -- we just noticed they seemed a bit stretched thin for a Tuesday morning around 9:30am. Service was a touch slower than you'd hope, but the team was kind and doing their best with what they had. Overall, a really enjoyable experience. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is charming. Great Maple earned a regular spot in our Disney trip breakfast rotation!!!
From the many eateries one can find inside of the Pixar Place Hotel, Great Maple is the only option that isn't run by Disney themselves. Great Maple is a local chain from around the Southern California area that has a casual atmosphere that celebrates the area's best food. And looking to find a place in the Disneyland Resort for a casual dinner, I made a reservation for Great Maple on a Saturday around 5:45PM. Walking up to the host podium, the hostess was very kind and checked us in promptly. She let my party know that walk-up parties only had seats available outside on the deck and that the inside seating was reserved for those with reservations. Sitting down, the server we had was very kind and checked in on us very often. And taking a look at the menu, there were a variety of choices ranging from salads and burgers, to full entrees and desserts. For this visit, I decided to order the Portobello Mushroom Fries ($22) and the Soda Pop Baby Back Ribs ($33). And when the food came, I was pleasantly surprised. Looking at the Mushroom Fries first, there were about 8-9 solid pieces of mushroom with an accompanying dipping sauce. And because each piece of mushroom was thick and breaded thinly, I could see the value proposition. For $22, the appetizer price can be a little steep considering other options in the area. But because you are on Disney property, the price is to be expected for a sit-down restaurant. The same could be said for the Baby Back Ribs as the plate I received had three decently sized pork ribs, coleslaw, a biscuit, and some butter. For $33, you could definitely find better value off property. But for the Disneyland Resort, the price was pretty fair. Of anything to be said, the flavors of the food are the reason I would come back here. Beginning with those mushroom fries, each piece of mushroom was seasoned perfectly with pepper and other spices. Because the breading was light, the mushroom had most of the air time in my mouth. The sauce was tangy and savory which elevated the seasoning already on the mushroom fries. Don't sleep on the mushroom fries! Moving onto the main course, the biscuit was flaky and airy which made it a light complement to the ribs. And while the coleslaw was rather standard, it was fresh and composed with a great ratio of vegetables. Tasting the ribs last, the barbecue flavor helped the moist meat find harmony together. I enjoyed how the meat of the ribs fell off the bone and the perfect level of fat on the meat. With a cozy atmosphere for a meal, Great Maple is a great place for date nights and family dinners alike. With booths, stand-alone tables, and bar seats, there is something for everyone here. The service was warm and kind per Disney standards and the food was outright delicious compared to many other options offered on-property. The biggest consideration you should make before deciding to eat here is whether you value the price to portion ratio. Each person can easily run up 60-70 dollars for the meal which can be expensive if you're not careful. But otherwise, be sure to secure your reservation! This place always seems to be busy.
Such cute vibes in here! it was decorated for Christmas and felt so festive. We got the ribs and ribeye melt and the portions were so big we had to take home. The ribs were so tender like 10/10 tender it fell off bones!! Fun tip, you get a free doughnut if you do the Pixar Putt. The water was like 3/5 because tasted like powder a little. I wish I came for brunch! Brunch menu looks good!
Needed a convenient spot to eat with the kiddo, so we walked over here from the Disneyland hotel. Was well after the parks opened, so there was no wait. Got the hot honey fried chicken sandwich and myself, and got pancakes with chocolate chips and cheesy eggs for the little one. Both plates were completely cleaned off. I wish I could remember the server's name, because he was super friendly. If you're okay with this price point, it's a great option.
Food was wow! Service was wow, the wait was wow! lol went in late morning and it was please seat as we walked in. Nice Christmas decor and seasonal drinks and food were great. The doughnut was a triple wow. They have a huge donut and it's awesome filling and tastefully great. Shall return
I made a reservation through Disneyland's dining reservations on the app. This is in the lobby/first floor of the Pixar hotel. But it's not actually a Disney restaurant, which I didn't realize. So they couldn't take a Disney gift card. Our food was good but not special. The great maple donuts were maply and bacony, and large. My Benedict was good, but I didn't care for the potatoes on the side. Overall, I've had better elsewhere, even in Anaheim. We went right when they opened on a Tuesday morning, so it was pretty quiet. The decor and aesthetic is nice, modern but with wood and nature touches. Their staff were friendly and efficient.

Awesome breakfast. My eggs, avocado toast and fruit in the Modern American Breakfast were excellent, and my son liked his Cajun Shrimp Biscuit Benedict. My daughter's French Toast Logs were great and my wife's Buttermilk Pancakes were off the charts - Great Maple literally puts the cake back in pancakes. Here's our conundrum though: At this price point and with their name and branding, why not use actual maple syrup? Standard Jemima or Log Cabin style cheap breakfast syrup makes no sense. If you are called Great Maple, splurge for the good stuff. Please. But otherwise awesome restaurant. Great food. read more
Located in the Pixar Hotel the Great Maple is a great brunch/lunch spot to go to before going into the park We came.on a super busy day, so even with a reservation we had to wait an additional 20 mins to be seated But the staff was extremely kind and accommodating. We grabbed a couple drinks at the bar while we waited which had luckily a couple open spots The food was delicious with generous portions...we definitely had left overs Perk is the 3 hour validation for either downtown Disney or the Pixar hotelm. Check it out! read more

Great Maple is located in the Pixar Hotel. Recommend reservations by all means. Parking is validated up until 3 hours so don't forget your parking ticket. Luke was our server and he was so kind and attentive. He had great recommendations and was very attentive. Cocktail list is pretty solid. They have a regular a cocktail list, along with large cocktails that have 6 drinks or a mimosa tray. I ordered the mer-made tiki and it was refreshing. I am a pineapple and rum girl so it was delicious. I also had the cucumber cocktail and it was light and refreshing. Perfect for a summer day! The menu caters to brunch and dinner all day. Keep in mind they do close in the middle of the day for dinner setup. I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich. It was very filling just a bit messy but still very good. I also echo what other reviewers say about the Mac n cheese. It was the right amount of cheesy and so flavorful! I recommend by all means. We ended the night with the maple bacon doughnuts. They were really filling, soft, and not too sweet. I can see the hype. Overall, a cute spot. I will definitely be back for mimosas and brunch! read more

Decent food but ours had definitely been sitting out for a while before we received it. The coffee was ok but not as good as advertised. While the hostess and servers were really nice our waitress was not. It took long to for all of us to get our food and then when we did she didn't bring us any condiments that we asked for and we had to ask the servers for it. Had to ask for creamer and sugar for our coffee multiple times as well. The restaurant itself is cute and of course a close place to go before going to Disney but not top of my list. I would go back to hopefully have a better experience as my friends have been there more me but that wasn't a great start. read more

This was our first time here and we loved it! This is located inside of the Pixar Pier Hotel. Walk in and take an immediate right. The decorations were on point and the service was phenomenal! I love how spaced out the tables are; we didn't feel cramped in at all. Victoria was our waitress and she was just a doll! So sweet and welcoming. Our coffees were delicious and warm on arrival. The vanilla oat latte was great! Did not taste like artificial vanilla. My boys loved their French toast and scrambled eggs. My husband and I shared the traditional biscuit Benedict and seasonal donuts. I loved the scalloped potatoes! So much flavor! The seasonal donuts were ::chefs kiss:: Warm and perfectly cooked! Such a fun treat for us! Quick note: it's a full menu selection so you can get lunch or dinner options for breakfast! read more

Service was really impressive. We walked in on a Friday night at 8pm and got a table under 10mins, our server was great (sucks that I forgot his name), he gave us complimentary ice cream since we were celebrating my birthday. The resto was clean and well lit, ambiance was really nice even for dinner so I could only imagine how nice it would be to have brunch there. Food however was lacking in flavor.. The ribeye hash was completely bland and none of the ingredients really worked together. I was expecting a piece of steak, but instead got thinly sliced meat almost like the cut for the Japanese dish called gyudon. Maybe they need to explain the dish better on the menu? The chilaquiles wasn't bad but it wasn't very special either, I brought it home and ate it again it was pretty decent. My friend got the lemon shrimp pasta and she said it was also very bland and that frozen shrimp scampi is better. Hope they work on the food cause ambiance is a 10/10, service is a 10/10 but food is a 4/10 at best. read more

Located inside the new Pixar Place Hotel is this hidden gem of a restaurant that not only includes delicious dining and drink options. An exciting part of this dining experience is that they serve brunch options all day. Unfortunately, I was not aware of this until I placed my order, but nonetheless I will definitely have to make another trip because who doesn't love French toast or pancakes for dinner. The service here is incredible. We sat at the bar and our bartender/ server Krystal was amazing. Not only did she make the most delicious cocktails, but her appetizer and dinner recommendations were on point. If you love a good cosmopolitan and want a drink similar but with tequila then the Siesta drink is definitely one you should try. It is refreshing and dangerously delicious. For food, I ordered the lemon shrimp pasta. It is creamy with a hint of lemon that ends with a spicy kick from the chili flakes. I would recommend this dish if you are looking for something lighter but hearty at the same time. Now one thing we did order off the brunch menu was the fried chicken and donuts. OMG definitely a must! The maple bacon donut and the lemon blueberry donut are seriously one of the best I've ever had. They were light, fluffy, and flavorful making each bite absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection paired with the donuts made this a worthwhile perfect shared dessert. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant especially being inside the Pixar Place Hotel makes it all the more magical. The best time to come to this restaurant would be for dinner so that you can enjoy the Disneyland fireworks show and take a stroll at downtown Disney. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Really good dining experiences at Great Maple! We were staying at the Pixar Palace hotel which made it really convenient for us. They're open for all meals and have a large selection with something for everyone. All the food we had there was good. Large portions. Seasonal donuts and menu rotations. Blood orange margarita was a nice treat after a long day at the park. Our service for breakfast during the week was very slow - they seemed to be under staffed that day. But otherwise the staff were all friendly and attentive. The decor is welcoming and fit for a casual meal or special date night. Whether you're staying at the hotel or bot, Great Maple is a great restaurant to go to for good food & atmosphere! read more

By far some of the best guest experience here! The servers are really friendly and always have a smile. Very welcoming. The last time I was here I tried the chilaquiles and this time well I couldn't help myself I got them again! They're just that good! I am a person who can't handle spicy food and the level of spicy these have is fine. If anything it has more of a tangy sour taste, but I love that about this plate. Plate portions are filling. Depending on the time of day you come the ambiance changes. In the morning it's more calm and relax while in the evening it feels more lively and a bit noisier. Unfortunately once again I couldn't dine in here due to work but I will! I really recommend making a reservation and coming by to check this place out! **always treat others with kindness one never knows what someone else is dealing with** All experiences are different but how you choose to process it chances the outcome. read more

We entered near valet but the valet was kind enough to give us the rest of the directions to the parking structure. Once you go down the stairs from there to the first floor you'll be at the Pixar hotel entrance that leads to Great Maple. We had a reservation prior to arriving so we were seated in 5-10 minutes. You can't go wrong with the Tropical Mermade (basically a Pina Colada). I love that you can order from the breakfast menu even in the evening. Shanie was our server and she went above and beyond. She say my birthday was quickly approaching when I was carded and towards the end of the meal you receive a birthday ice cream. It was very delicious. The Sodapop Baby Back Ribs are my new favorite. It was well-seasoned and not dry. It was still good as leftovers the same night. The white cheddar biscuit had a good crumbly texture with a hint of butter on it. It was doughy. Definitely get the NY medium rare. Two people got medium well at the table and they regretted it. You can also sub in truffle fries as a side with your NY steak. You can get parking validated after your meal. We stayed close to 2.5 hours and didn't have to pay for parking when we left. If you're a Magic Key holder your 10% discount is good here! read more

Awesome experience and good food! The restaurant has a fairly wide menu and great dishes. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but nothing too crazy. Their portions are decent and the quality of the food is better than expected. The restaurant was really nice and felt luxurious. Highly recommend making a reservation because there's usually a 20-ish minute wait for dinner. However, if you don't show up and cancel your reservation, you'll be CHARGED A FEE. * 10 Oz. New York Steak: 8/10 - juicy steak and decent sized portion * Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich: 9/10 - huge portion * Powdered Sugar Beignets: 6/10 - more like bread than beignets It's located near Disney so it's a great stop if you're planning on going to the park. There's a parking structure that requires validation, but the first 30 minutes are free. The staff was also super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're planning on stopping by Disneyland! read more

Food: 3* Service: 2* (Maybe the staff is still new?) Ambience: 4* Had lunch with some Disney friends who wanted to eat here. I ordered the portobello mushroom fries (5*), the rib eye melt (3*), and Caesar salad (5*). The mushroom fries were quite a surprise, juicy inside and crunchy exterior. The basil mayonnaise dipping sauce was great. The ribeye melt was disappointing. The rib eye itself was tasty, but everything else was dry and had no sauce nor flavor. So the net result was not good. The Caesar salad was delicious. It must have been house made as it was garlicky, creamy, and unctuous. My friends ordered the full Caesar salad, steakhouse burger with truffle fries, and falafel wrap. Each said theirs was good, the burger was juicy and tender, they said. Should I return, I would order the mushroom fries, truffle fries, and Caesar salad. read more

We celebrated Mother's Day here at Great Maple and needless to say we picked the right spot. Now, this is my second time here but my parent's first time. First time was an "okay" experience, food wise but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. Food: I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, my mom got the Soda Pop Ribs, and my dad got the salmon. Everything was absolutely delicious. My dad loved his salmon ( mom tried as well and also thought it was delicious ). The ribs were nice and tender and "meaty". Some chain restaurants serve ribs and there is barely any meat on the bone, but not here at great maple. My hot honey chicken sandwich was phenomenal. Honestly, I think that that sandwich might crack my top 5 chicken sandwiches of all time. The hot honey aioli was chefs kiss. I also upgraded to truffle fries which was killer. Ambience is relaxing, modern, and cozy. Service was good but the food was the star of the show! read more
It was wonderful to have such an amazing restaurant with reasonable prices in a hotel setting ... especially a Disney hotel! Friendly staff Great modern look with hints of Pixar flair Beautiful cuisine and drinks Delicious and fresh dishes which are an amazing change from your normal burger and fries. Highly recommended location while you're at Disneyland. It's a walk away from the park and well worth it! read more

Very rich flavors overall. The mac and cheese was warm and the panko crumbs offered a nice texture to follow the creamy cheese. The fried chicken and donut was a fun twist on the classic chicken and waffles. The chicken was crispy with a nice crunch while the chicken remained moist. Hole in one donut, limited edition, was freshly fried and coated with fresh chocolate. We went in later in the evening and it seemed packed and there was about a 30 min wait. The staff recommended the bar as an option for seating, citing the bar includes bar and full service. The bar was a nice call given the attention from the bar staff and the unique chairs. Service was nice and responsive despite having to juggle a couple tasks. read more

Great Maple Located at the Pixar Place Hotel, you can get to their own parking structure if you are coming from Katella up Disneyland Drive, pass the parking for downtown Disney, you will see another light to your left that is where to go. Mention at the gate you are dining at Great Maple and they will let you in. PRO TIP! Eating at Great Maple gets you a three hour validation, so you can eat and walk Downtown Disney and not have to pay the $10 parking at Downtown Disney. The restaurant itself is very spacious with outdoor seating as well. We went on a weekday so it wasn't too busy. We came for breakfast but their menu is an all day menu so if you want a burger or some ribs for breakfast, have at it! Went here with my roommates (my parents =P) and Fiancée and loved that we each got our own dishes so I was able to try each of them. Wasn't planned but always love when that happens! Service was great and its easy to tell that even if the restaurant was busy they would be on point. Smoked Bacon Scramble - My mom went with this dish but she opted for all egg whites, so the picture will look different than others. To me it looked like it was on the lighter side of things, but I know the scalloped potatoes will easily fill you up. The chopped bacon that was mixed into the eggs, white cheddar and tomatoes gave it that smoky taste. Pretty much like an omelet, spoonful of that with a little bit of the potatoes, really good flavors. French Toast Logs - My dad ordered this (my mom and him usually combine both dishes to share, really work for my yelping favor!) This was my favorite dish here! Thick cut brioche, their syrup right off the bat was a shock to me. I remember me perking up like this isn't just syrup. Grabbed the menu to see that its a maple bacon syrup....oooooo man I wanted to take all of it! The fresh blueberries help with that tart and sweetness. Just talking about it, I want them again! Chilaquiles - My fiancée's dish, a little bit of fiancée lore, 9 times out of 10, if Chilaquiles are on the menu she will order them, specially if she hasn't tried them yet. Chilaquiles at great maple not too bad! She enjoyed them! The tortilla chips had a really good balance of crisp but soft from the sauce. Seasoned very well, I found myself picking off from her dish every now and then. She's not going to finish it anyway, I am no rude! (she really didn't finish and was the only one that needed a to-go box...I know my soon to be wife!) Fried Chicken & Doughnuts - This was the dish I went with. If there is one thing I love in this world....MAPLE DOUGHNUTS, sprinkle crispy bacon on top?!?! SHEEEEEE ill take all of it! The maple doughnut with the syrup was heaven! I was a little upset because the two pieces of chicken were small and sadly over cooked. The Newport location, their chicken as I remember was nicely pounded to flatten the chicken so it made the pieces look bigger. So that was an L for me here at this location, the chicken was dry and because it was small and thick it was a hard chew, flavor was there though. I ate the chicken first trying to scoop up any of the syrup on the plate. Finishing the dish with the doughnuts was the right call. In conclusion if you plan on going to downtown Disney and want breakfast, come through here, eat and walk it off as you get free three hours with validation. Feast Well Fellow Yelpers!

Overall liked the experience here. Located on the first floor of the Pixar hotel, the restaurant and area feel very fresh as it was recently renovated. Service was nice and very fast - I was able to order, eat and pay within 30 minutes. For the food itself, I ordered the Fried chicken and doughnuts, which is their signature brunch item. The chicken wasn't dry at all and the flavor was good. The doughnuts were also pretty good - more on the savory side so it wasn't overly sweet and the texture was heavier compared to a dessert doughnut. Only complaint I had was that for some reason the water tasted a little funny to me. The price was also on the higher side for essentially a chicken and waffle but that's to be expected on Disney property - they do however give Magic Key/Cast Member discounts. read more

Hello David,…
We were so excited to try this place and incredibly hungry by the time we actually got seated. Sadly it was cold that night and we were freezing. Unfortunately they sat us in between the outside and inside seating. So we got no heat from the inside and not heat from the outside heat lamps. The restaurant was beautiful looking and our waiter was good. As I looked around at the tables leaving that night, I noticed that a lot of food was being left behind. I told my husband that it was a bad sign but we were hungry and eager to eat. Our waiter came and took our order. We ordered water and an alcoholic beverage to drink. We also ordered a burger with Parm truffle fries, at an extra cost for the fries. We also ordered Mac & Cheese, a Chicken sandwich and regular fries. The waiter brought us a reusable glass bottle of water with two glasses to serve ourselves water with. When we tasted to water we both gagged. It was the nastiest tasting water. So I order a soda instead. He was still waiting a very long time for his alcoholic drink which he reminded the waiter about, and the waiter assured him it was coming. I received my soda and we received our food, but his drink still hadn't arrived. So he told the waiter to cancel his drink and the waiter apologized and brought him the drink anyways. My husband didn't want it as he stayed over and over again, therefore he didn't drink the drink. We were just so excited the food had arrived and we began to eat, until I saw that my burger was really raw inside. So I apologized to the waiter and told him that my burger wasn't cooked correctly and that I would get really sick of the meet wasn't well done. He kindly apologized and took the hamburger back. I kept the fries cause I was starving. The parm truffle fries that we had paid extra for and tasted like completely tasteless regular fries. I was not happy about the fries being extra and not tasting like anything other than regular oily fries. Still I ate them and said nothing about it. I didn't want to complain again and I was still starving. The Mac & Cheese however, was the star of the show and the only good tasting thing we ate here. By the time they brought my burger back my husband was completely done eating and was now just chilling waiting for me. When my food finally arrived they had done a better job of cooking the meat completely. They also gave me more parm fries. Then the manager came and apologized for everything. She even offered us a free dessert. Which was incredibly gracious of her but we were done with this place and just wanted to go back to our hotel. On the bill, they took off the alcoholic drink that my husband never drank and the cost of my soda. I really wanted to like this place but as you can see in my picture, I still didn't like the burger much and I couldn't eat any more of the tasteless fries. My husband ate his food but wasn't thrilled about the taste of everything either. So now we understood why so many people in the restaurant didn't eat all of their food. Sadly we don't have reason to return to this restaurant even though we frequent Disney weekly. read more

Hands down, BEST food @ Disneyland resort, as in "I want to lick my plate" GOOD! We like to explore all the restaurants at the park and have found that, for the most part, California Adventure has the best eateries! FOOD: GREAT, all of it! Everyone at the table absolutely ADORED their food and we all committed to come back! I had a large, 10 oz steak that was seasoned well, tender and juicy with tons of flavor! My group also had the Ribeye hash, Ribs, salad, and a Ribeye melt (guess i was the only one who didn't want ribs?)! You get plenty of food which isn't exactly a good thing because you want to eat it ALL! VIBE: Fun and friendly! To get to the restaurant you have to walk through the Pixar Place Hotel which i loved! I'd never heard of the Pixar Place hotel and I can't say too much about it except that everyone went crazy for the character from the movie "Soul" playing the piano! I need to stay there one day but the restaurant itself was nice, quiet and beautifully decorated! It's a very cool place to stop and eat after a long day at the park! The vibe is laid back and I'm sure most families can appreciate that "oasis"! SERVICE: Top notch! I see why people get obsessed with Disney, they really offer great service! The staff was attentive and personable, they patiently offer to explain the menu, which helps when it's your first time at a restaurant, and all the dishes came out of the kitchen in a timely manner! PRICES: I can't complain about the prices. I'm happy to pay up when the food is top notch and this food was TOP NOTCH for real! I'm so excited to go back! The average cost per dish was about $35 give or take and it was well worth it! PARKING: I'm not sure if you can just park somewhere outside the park and walk in. We were at Disneyland for the day and parked in the parking structure RECOMMEND: TRUST ME, treat yourself to this wonderful place! It's tricky to find because of some construction but you won't regret looking! Like I said to start this review, BEST FOOD (I've had so far) at DISNEYLAND! read more

Our small party of four had an excellent first experience at Great Maple in the Pixar Place Hotel. We first wanted to check out the new hotel lobby renovations and then get lunch at this restaurant. Wait time for walk-up for a Sunday wasn't too bad, a 15-20 min wait. Our exceptional and upbeat server was Gigi, and she explained the day's specials, gave menu recommendations and kept us happy during our visit. We started with drinks and shareables. My family ordered a couple of maple bacon old fashioned, a beer, and I got a Cali Carajillo. The old-fashioned was okay; the bourbon used was a "Bacon washed four roses bourbon," according to the website, but not on the menu. If you like coffee cocktails, try the Cali Carajillo. I prefer a carajillo with large cubed ice, but this was still satisfying. If you enjoy tropical vacation cocktails, try the Tropical Merm-ade. It's a refreshing tiki drink in a cool tiki glass. On to the food. Everyone ordered something different. Overall, everyone enjoyed what they got. We started with the Famous Maple Bacon Donuts, which were impressive when brought to the table. It is very sweet and doughy with tasty bacon bits and maple bacon glaze. The Thick Cut Smoked Bacon was also an excellent starter. Who doesn't love bacon?! The Chef's Market Fish special was a mahi mahi taco, which my bro enjoyed. The salmon entrée and the Steakhouse Burger were just okay. I ordered the Rib Eye Melt. This was a hearty meal; the flavor was delicious overall, the buttered bread was toasty, and the ribeye was tender. My only issue was that it was too salty for me. I could only eat half of the sandwich and took the other half home. I would come back again to experience friendly, attentive service, chill Disney vibes, and try more menu items. We didn't need reservations, but it doesn't hurt to set one up to guarantee a dining spot, especially for larger parties. There were many tables and bar seating available after our lunch. Indoor and patio seating are available. Disney Magic Key discounts apply!! Also, don't forget to check out the awesome Pixar decor and art around the hotel lobby. I love the music playing around the lobby as well. read more

The Very Good: Smoked Bacon Scramble... love the scalloped potatoes which goes great with the scramble egg, bacon, and guac... 10/10 Tomato Bisque: Very good Soup! 8/10 Portobello Mushroom Fries: Shocked how good these were... better than chicken tenders! 10/10 Ribeye Melt: Another hit as far as flavor, but kind of pricey at $30 8/10 The service: 10/10 Disappointing: The signature Maple Bacon donuts... way too dense as a donut and little to no flavor in the bacon flavor. 3/10 (Very Instagram friendly 10/10) The season donuts... these were better with the strawberry and custard filling, but the donut itself was too dense... 6/10, 10/10 for Instagram) Blueberry Pancakes: Hmmmmm... had better 6/10 Ambiance: Perfect for a Disney restaurant! 8/10 read more

I came here during my trip to Disneyland. I had visited the San Diego location and loved the Great Maple there so I had high expectations for this location as well. We got the Benedict and it was not warm at all when it was served. The chilaquiles were served cold as well and most of the chips were already soggy. The chicken and maple bacon donuts were very good. I was a little disappointed in this location. I hope it was just an "off day" and it's better next time I visit. Definitely worth visiting. The chicken and maple bacon donuts is a must try! read more

The was by far the best service and food we have had at the Disneyland resort in the last 10 years. The food, while priced for Disney, is so worth the expense. Everything was perfect. We got the Maple Bacon Doughnuts, the Pancake Pops, and the Ribeye Hash. We also tried an espresso martini, and a maple bacon old fashioned. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully, and I can't wait until it's warm enough to eat on the patio. read more

Located in my least favorite Disney's Pixar Place Hotel, is Great Maple. We've been to the Hill Crest spot in San Diego and it was excellent. Disneyland is the newest location and it is just as good. Ribeye Hash - Sliced ribeye, crispy seasoned potatoes, onion, piquillo peppers, tomatoes, shaved brussels sprouts, two poached eggs, cajun hollandaise, chives -excellent Traditional Biscuit Benedict - Black Forest Ham, poached eggs, and classic hollandaise on a house-made white cheddar biscuit with sour cream & onion scalloped potatoes- fabulous Maple Bacon Donut - deliciously decadent Side of Bacon - best bacon, not served on a farm. We sat at the counter (big comfortable chairs) and our server kept the fresh coffee coming. Great food, great service (thanks Krystle) makes for a Great Maple. Great Maple is a must try! read more

Dear Eric, thank you for joining us at Great Maple, Anaheim and…
My friend and I made lunch reservations here to try the food and check out the Pixar Place Hotel. Prior to coming I was told that Great Maple is an outside company and not run by Disney. If I hadn't been told that, I wouldn't have known. The restaurant itself is clean, bright and well set up. I loved the touch of the whisk shaped light fixtures. The bar was large and inviting. My friend and I both tried a brew bear, because of the cups lol. It was my first cold brew and I wasn't expecting to like it, as I prefer espresso drinks to coffee drinks. It wasn't bad, but cold brews aren't for me. The presentation was cute though. I got the great maple burger with parmesan truffle fries. It was thick, and cooked to perfection. The fries were crisp and delicious. Sometimes parm fries will be soggy, not these. My friend got the BLT and it was also good. The portions are huge and you definitely get what you pay for. Our waitress Krystle was friendly and attentive. I would absolutely go back to try more menu items. read more

This spot is amazing! With beautiful decor and a menu that does breakfast/dinner all day! Inside the Pixar Hotel the restaurant is tucked away and upon entering the hotel we had to ask how to find it! We were seated and given menus right away. I ordered the modern American breakfast. My sister got the smoked bacon scramble and my nieces got the chocolate chip pancakes. Everything was delicious! I didn't realize the breakfast came with avacado toast as I was so intent on having breakfast sausage. The pancakes came four stacks high and were so rich. And the hot coffee was perfect for a cold winter day. read more
I'm so happy that there is a dog-friendly restaurant in the Disneyland area! We came for our pups 5th birthday and they even had a pup menu for her to pick something from. When we made our visit, I think it was their first week of service so there were things that weren't perfect, but overall, we had a great time. We ordered the Mimosa bottle, Brew Bears Coffee, Cajun Shrimp Biscuit Benedict and Fried Chicken & Doughnuts. For our pup, we got her the Puppy Patty. Food was a bit slow but overall everything was super delicious and the portions were gigantic! We wanted to get the Portebello Mushroom Fries but was too full with what we ordered. There was great space for large parties and this is location in the newly renovated Pixar Hotel so it was very nice walking into the lobby area. Parking is validated in the structure at Pixar Hotel so you don't need to park at Downtown Disney! Overall a great spot and we will definitely be back again! read more

Large restaurant in the newly renovated Pixar Hotel. Good for small and large groups, which is rare for Disneyland resort reservations. One of the only places I've been able to get a reservation for a party of 12. For our large party, we were seated at a bench style table. Kids received kid menu/activity placemats with crayons. A great place to step away from the busy restaurants inside the park, we felt comfortable and not rushed. It's still fairly new and a bit of a walk from the amusement parks, so we'll see with time if this place starts to fill up and if reservations start to fill up fast. Staff were friendly and very welcoming. Food was good and a great option if you want to get away from the typical amusement park foods. They will valet park your stroller for pick up after your meal. Obviously you gotta try the maple bacon donuts! People were getting them to go in cute green boxes for those that wanted to order and take them for the rest of their trip at the resort or amusement parks. read more

Hello Tiffany,…
We went to Disney on my son's birthday and it was a pretty chilly day. With the weather not being in our favor we opted to dine-in and to be honest Great Maple was the only dine-in restaurant with availability. It was a short walk from Disneyland (approximately 10 minutes). Great Maple is located in the first floor of the Pixar Hotel. It has very modern decor like their other locations; however this location has several Disney wall pieces. Alicia was our sever, despite being busy (seemed she was the only server at that time frame) she was very attentive. We were all pleased with our entrees and our birthday boy loved his birthday ice cream sundae treat. read more
