Burnt Ends Pasta
Tiffany D.

A must visit when at the Parks, transports you to a dreamy tea party vibe to lunch/dine with great bites! Get on the app & make a reservation! as walk-ins are hit/miss. Excellent Service, minimal wait --if you're lucky, the inside is dreamy a victorian-esque whimsy. The Outdoor patio seating is optimal for People watching. hot or not? Farmhouse Salad 5/5 bites instead of Pulled Pork i request the Beef Burnt Ends and the BBQ ranch dressing with avocado, it's just a delicious salad refreshing, but balanced. A must have every time i come to disney. the brisket burnt ends really bring it all together. Hot! don't knock it until you try it. WildBerry Mule: 4/5 sips. this is the best alc beverage (limited options) you can find at disneyland. trust me try it. at just under $20 (this is the best bang for your buck.) there are plenty of food options and we've tried them all the loaded fries, the Fried Chicken, and pasta are good, my friend loves the Pot Pie. I would skip the pork chop& sandwich.

The Chicken Pot Pie Soup - litterally so darn yummy
Michelle S.

We visited last week due to them being part of the fantasmic dining experience (the prime seating for Fantasmic was amazing especially with a toddler, worth the cost I recommend!!) * The food was yummy, truthfully not be favorite, BUT it was yummy though; Honestly the big stand out for me was the chicken pot pie soup SO good and the apricot BBQ sauce was delish - the star of the show was our waitress Erandy she was absolutely amazing! Even with it being a busy day & time she was very attentive, kind, and helpful! Thank you so much girl!! * Overall was a very good experience!

Blackened Fish (it was salmon)
Terri P.

While at Disneyland, I decided to eat at a dine in restaurant for the experience. The staff from the hostess to the waiter were nice and attentive but I wasn't impressed with the food. For the price, I expected more. The kids meal my daughter ordered lacked in presentation and looked like standard fare we could've gotten at a take out counter. I ordered the blackened fish plate, and it also arrived lacking presentation. I admit, the fish (salmon) was juicy and flavorful and the accompanying salad was tasty, but the portions were small. The salad was only three pieces of red cabbage and sparse greens. It seemed the chips were the majority on the plate, reminiscent of take out counter vibes. Pairing with rice or mashed potato would've made it a substantial meal. If this place can give larger portions to equal the prices with presentable plating, then this would be an optimal dine in location for the staff was spot on and the ambience was clean, friendly and bright.

River Belle Fantasmic menu as of 11/12/22

Update: 3/12/26 The River Belle Terrace renovation completed. The new look is refreshed. The service is very good as always. The menu has changed with new selections from the south. Lemon Caper Shrimp - 4/5 This dish has been on the menu for a while. It still is very good. The pasta was prepared al Dante and the shrimp was plentiful. The Lemon flavor was light. From other reviews, I would have thought the flavor of lemon would be more prominent than what I experienced. That being said, I still enjoyed this past. Even though the sauce from this batch was very light on lemon flavor, you still can taste lemon and it was nice and creamy. The shrimp was slightly overcooked. It was not firm and tender. That may be due to the volume of shrimp that needs to be prepped to serve the days customer volume. The shrimp was still good and did not take away from the overall goodness of this selection. I would order this again. Impossible Meat Loaf - 5/5 This veggie meat loaf was very good. It was prepared perfectly and if I didn't know any better, it tastes like a very tender piece of beef meat loaf. The flavor was very good, and the veggie bedding was excellent. All the veggies were seasoned perfectly and cooked to the correct tenderness. I would order this selection again. River Belle Terrace is a restaurant that you should try to get reservations for lunch or dinner. I recommend giving this eatery in Disneyland a try.

Chicken and waffle cone
Amanda A.

The last time I was here for Sweetheart's Nite a couple of years back. I decided to give this place another try while at Disney Channel Nite! They were serving exclusive items only for the event! Good thing is that we were able to walk right on up and put our name down. We only had to wait 3 minutes and then we were seated. Our server Daniel was nice and very helpful when it came to helping us choose our menu options! My husband got the Chili Cheese Fries, and I got the Rib Sandwich! Both items were very tasty. Definitely a good experience that helped make up for the previous visit! Would I come back, depends? For an after dark event, it would depend on what items they are serving. For a regular Disneyland day, I would definitely come back and check it out.

Pork Chop
Alice W.

The best thing about this place that it's pretty easy to get a reservation here even on the day of. The restaurant is pretty spacious. It has very old southern vibes. The cast members here are very nice and were very attentive. We had a little one and they were all super kind to him. There is a kids menu as well as an adult menu. You can also purchase alcohol here for dining. I got the fried chicken plate and have to say it was pretty mediocre. The portion was pretty small. I feel like this restaurant used to give out large portions, but maybe something's changed. My husband got the pork chop and it was also just all right. Nothing memorable. We got the shrimp plate for our kid. It came with three pieces of shrimp. We also chose the seasonal veggies and fruit. It came with green beans and three orange slices. When we try to order the Dasani water bottle, they said they didn't have any but we're able to give him a to go cup with a straw. Similarly for the milk option that comes in a two go cup with a straw. (As opposed to bottled water or milk.)

Brunch menu
Rachel M.

River Belle Terrace was our yummy haven from the rain in DL! Located in Frontierland near Pirates of the Caribbean we were lucky the wait was only 5 min for our party of 6. They have a variety of Southern inspired American style menu items, including a vegan option for the hubz. Highlights -Buttermilk chicken sandwich -All American Breakfast -Gingerbread pancakes Service was very friendly and prices were what you'd expect at Disneyland. Interior was a bit cramped but we had an overall good brunch!

Amelia R.

I was shocked by our experience at river belle terrace! The location seems a little drab, however, the food beat all expectations! We usually eat at blue bayou for our "nice meal" during our time at the parks and we have not been impressed with the quality the last two times. Our food at river belle was great! I have the shrimp pasta with fried capers an my husband had the pork chop! Both were delicious. We can't wait to come back!

Pork chop with mashed potatoes
Kiana R.

I had the pork chops and it was super ono (delicious). I ate that's whole thing. Much better than expected. The service was top notch. My friend is celiac and they sent out the cooks to work with her and asked her what she was looking at then gauged it from there. I was impressed. She was happy with her fish. I tried my friends shrimp pasta. That was really good too. I was happy with our choice to dine there.

Fried Chicken Plate
Gerardo C.

Nice place nicely decorated easy walked in no reservation the food was delish! I had great waiter I didn't get his name.

Kristie G.

The food, service and view was amazing! I absolutely loved everything I ordered, from the Wildberry Mule to the pork chop to the Key Lime Pie. My friend got the Shrimp Pasta and she said it was amazing. Wait staff were friendly and great! A little on the pricey side but it's Disneyland. Highly recommend making reservations for your next trip.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich
Matt D.

I'm glad I didn't read any reviews before making a reservation here, because this place exceeded expectations in almost every way. Hector was wonderful as a server, and the food arrived hot and fresh maybe 5 minutes after ordering?? We went around noon, and it was pretty quiet until around 1, but it was still a nice quaint feeling. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. Also they have the best fries I've had at a park restaurant. The mimosa was also very generous. (which I would hope at $20!) Fried chicken sandwich easily had twice the chicken I expected, and the cuban had thick slices of cheese and ham, with plenty of pulled pork! Both were incredibly tasty. We had planned on dessert, but we were stuffed before even finishing our fries!

Ask for to go cup!
Shontel C.

Just tried the River Belle for the first time! We were lucky to book a same day reservation at 620pm (prime dinner time). I checked in a few minutes early and we were seated around 635. The restaurant was pretty busy with lots of guests waiting but once we were sat service was pretty decent and wait times for drinks and food were average. The Burt ends pasta dish was pretty good 7/10 and the fried chicken with mash and green bean was even better 8.5/10 (tip: ask for extra mustard. It's so tasty!) The vibe itself was dated yet charming. They could definitely use some updates like new flooring and get rid of the old carpet. All in all I'd recommend!! A plus was that we asked for a refill on our soft drinks and took them to go! Second bonus was magic key discount.

When my daughter had a dance competition in the area, I knew I had to go!!! Its located on 4th Street in Santa Ana but I've heard they also have a food truck that goes out to Anaheim as well. The place on 4th street though has street parking, be prepared to possibly circle around a few minutes to find a spot. Also, make sure you have coins to feed the parking meter! My daughter and I came on a Saturday evening and must've got there at a good time as there was only a handful of us in line. After ordering, it did get much, much longer! As in, right out the door! Its not a huge place...several tables along the wall to the left while on the right is the area where the magic happens! This is where they make the churros and towards the back, right is where the ordering is done. We ordered the Churros with ice Cream, Don Churro style with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of nutella and a full thread of regular churros. I will have to say that these have got to be the best damn churros I've ever had!! They make them on the spot and not until you've made your order. They're so light, airy and not even oily!!! They're just soooo sooo good! We brought our boxes of churros home for the rest of our family to enjoy. There was so much that we couldnt finish it right away so we air fried what we had left the next day and it was still pretty darn good. For what you get, prices are quite reasonable! Now i'm just trying to get back out there sometime for their deliciousness! If there's a line, its worth the wait!!! Two thumbs up for Don Churros Gomez!

Heads up: It does get busy and there's usually a line. But honestly, it's worth the wait. Come on down and try it yourself. You won't regret it.

I understand it's a trend to try beautiful dessert m, but it feels like the customers curiosity is taken advantage of the TikTok Trend. I think the mango one is $15 One time purchase to satisfy the curiosity, but I find it hard to come back for another bite. I ordered the chocolate covered strawberry cream/cake dessert. The red chocolate on the outside was too thin and was breaking into to many pieces. You DEFINITELY don't get that crunch sound you hear on social media. Too thin. The cream inside was not the right temperature, making the milk cream taste almost gamy. I question the quality of the ingredients. My guess is loaded ingredients. If I am paying $13 for a small dessert, I really hope I get the highest grade dairy, chocolate, jelly, etc. My overall experience was disappointing.

We did get lucky and got parking on the side street since someone right in front of us was leaving. The line does move quick though. They have 10 order stations. We got here 30 min before closing and were able to get our order in before they closed. The most popular item is the Joe Latti, which is vanilla ice cream with your choice of Italian ice flavor. We got to sample flavors before ordering as well. I ended up getting wild cherry and mango tango, which was a good combo. The mango was sweet, just the way I like it. My group all got a mix of flavors and everyone enjoyed their joe Latti as well. Customer service was great. They answered all our questions since it was our first time here. The place is always crowded, and there is limited seating and tables in front. We were lucky to get a table. There was also kids revving and speeding up and down the street, so just an FYI. It was really loud and distracting. I would go back here in a heartbeat over any place in sac.

The location of…read morethis well-known Japanese/French bakery was unusual in that it's isolated in a corner of the El Camino Plaza. I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.
