Mini Corn Dogs with Fries Beer-battered Fish and Chips
Michael T.

Maybe it was the mobile order efficiency, maybe the friendly staff, maybe the lack of lines and plethora of shaded seating in mid-January, maybe the extra hot, juicy and crispy fish and chips, or maybe it was super duper hand dipped mini corn dogs, but I think Stage Door is a solid stop if you find yourself in need of a bite break near New Orleans Square at Disneyland. We came here in search of the mega famous hand dipped corndog. Sadly these recently came off the menu, meaning the only place you can get one is on Main Street, but they were replaced by the mini corndogs that were quite delicious. Sweet and crispy batter, juicy cocktail Weiners, and crispy fries made a great lunch for my older son. The fish and chips came with a huge piece of incredibly crispy fried fish, crispy fries, and tangy tartar sauce. My younger son loved the fish and fries, but the order was so big that we were able to have a few bites too. In fact, two could easily share this, especially two kids. Staff was super friendly here as well. It was my first mobile order and we had done it through my wife's app and they helped me find everything in my linked account so I could pick up the order and find seating for all of us. They also happily gave us ice waters and helped us fill our bottles with cups of water. I also really appreciated the clean and fully stocked condiment cart too! All in all, very impressed with Disney foodservice!

Tossed Tenders
Cathrine S.

Stage Door Café, located near the Golden Horseshoe, offers tossed chicken tenders with two flavor options. I tried the hot honey tenders, which are served over French fries. The portion size was generous for the price, Magic Key discounts apply, and mobile ordering is available. It's a nice change from the other park food options, I always enjoy trying their seasonal menu items when they're available. Want it punchier or more casual? If you want it a little more casual or more hyped-up for social media, I can tweak it

Fish and chips
Vanessa F.

Usually get corn dogs here but today we got the fish and chips which was really good and huge portion! Friendly service and chill quick place to grab a quick bite to eat.

I was craving corn dogs and a funnel cake. I was not happy with the corn dog because the breading kept coming off and it was so oily. I know it was deep fried but it is not worth it. It said home made batter and I didnt enjoy it. The funnel cake was okay. There wasnt a line or wait to get the food. The tables were not wiped down so I had to wipe down the tables and chair.

The funnel cake with strawberries is a huge serving and a favorite. Pair it with a delicious corn dog and a soda for a perfect lunch in Disney. Service was excellent and efficient and found a nearby table to sit outside and enjoy the food while crowd watching.

Strawberry Funnel Cake
Jetrina M.

We mobile ordered the strawberry funnel cake as a snack during a long Disney day. It was really really quickly after ordering and was exactly as described. The whipped cream was nice and cool in contrast to the hot funnel cake and worked well on a warm day. Only suggestion would be to have a little more strawberry topping as it was a little bland after finishing all the strawberry.

Hand-dipped Corn Dog, Gravy Fries
Sabrina C.

I always come to stage door cafe for my favorite corn dogs in Disneyland. We also got the gravy fries and the hot honey chicken tenders. I enjoyed the corn dogs as always with the hot and crunchy batter. The gravy fries were very yummy but it didn't come with enough sauce. We also liked the hot honey tenders but they didn't stand out. Overall I like stagedoor cafe and I'll definitely be back for the corn dogs.

Fish & Chips - Disneyland | Anaheim, California

This is a quick service restaurant at Disneyland. They serve all your favorite fried foods: funnel cakes, chicken tenders, french fries, and hand-dipped corn dogs. Hey, they never said it was "The Healthiest Place on Earth" after all! You will find Stage Door Café in Frontierland, right next to another restaurant The Golden Horseshoe. Seating is all outdoors, with several tables and umbrellas in the adjacent patio. It's a little difficult finding a spot, but not impossible. You might have to hover around and wait until someone leaves. They don't really clean surfaces too often, so bring wet wipes. You can also just walk inside The Golden Horseshoe and sit down at an open table. Order inside at the register. If there's a line or you prefer not to wait, open the Disneyland app and mobile order before you arrive. The menu is similar to The Golden Horseshoe, just missing a few items like the ice cream sundaes. I ordered the fish & chips, which came with tartar sauce. It tasted like previously frozen, recently microwaved food. The chips were soggy, but passable. The fish had a gummy texture and the batter could have been crispier. Doesn't compare to Three Broomsticks at Universal Studios or the Yorkshire County Fish Shop at Epcot. Wish they would bring back the mozzarella sticks!

Dessert / Snacks - Strawberry Funnel Cake
Ron R.

*** Dessert Stop *** Strawberry funnel cake ... need I say more. Look at the photo. Order it using the mobile App. No wait and it comes to you still hot. The strawberries are sweet and the funnel cake is hot and crunchy in all the right places. Love it way better than a plain, boring ole' churro. Plus, it's big enough to share.

Fried foods a plenty
Czarina D.

This Disney trip, all I was craving was FRIED FOODS. And I knew just where to go. STAGE DOOR!!!! I ended up trying: Corn Dog, Fish and Chips, Chicken Tenders & Fries, and the Mozzarella Sticks & Fries. All the food ended up hitting the spot!! I was surprised by how delicious the Fish and Chips were! Probably the best dish of the bunch. The corn dog was delicious as well which is what you can expect since Disney knows how to do corn dogs! The mozzarella sticks had the most perfect cheese pull and were well seasoned. Usually mozzarella sticks are either too salty or too bland, but these were perfect. The dish that felt slightly short was the chicken tenders. The chicken tenders themselves were on the dry side, although the seasoning was good. The fries were standard! Nothing crazy, but still good. They have an array of sauces so I had a blast dipping all my fried foods in different dipping sauces. Overall, pretty affordable and tasty fried food options can be found at Stage Door!

Fish and Chips ~ $10.99
Jean S.

Stage Door Cafe is in Frontierland in Disneyland, near the waterfront. The area where you actually order and pick up your food is just a small, old, wooden, saloon-like storefront with no tables. They sell funnel cake, fish and chips, chicken tenders, and plant based chili fries. I ordered the Fish and Chips ($10.99) through the mobile app, picked up, and brought the food across the way to the outdoor tables near River Belle Terrace. I didn't really enjoy the fish and chips. The fish batter was not crispy, but more chewy. The fish inside the batter was just okay, but overall, there was not much flavor. The tarter sauce it came with helped with flavor a little, but was just so so. The fries were a little better than the fish, but not that great also. The fish and chips were very unfulfilling and a bit disappointing. I'll probably order something else at Disneyland next time.

Cinnamon-Chocolate Mexican Sweet Bread Funnel Cake
Dan B.

Perfect Midday Snack to recharge and keep going! During the Latin Heritage month, this is a new (and temporary) food item on the menu which is a delight. Pro Tip: smother the whipped cream over the funnel cake before eating. It's freshly made but some parts are drier than others. The spread whip cream will help! The bread does run dry so try to grab a drink with it- I would've gotten a hot coffee to pair with. The bread is beautiful but by itself doesn't have a particular taste. Shoutout to Disney cast members Chandra and Alé for helping me choose this option!

Hand dipped corn dogs with fries and a coke
Alissa M.

Fried foodie fans welcome... The only requirement my boyfriend had for the day besides watching the fireworks was a Disneyland corn dog and this place delivered. Aside from corn dogs they offer chicken strips and fries, fish and chips and funnel cakes. I'm pretty sure the only non fried items are the goldfish crackers and the cuties included in the kid's meals, lol. It is definitely a popular spot since it's quick counter service plus they have mobile ordering. I can't believe in all my Disney trips over the years this was my first visit to this place. But I will definitely keep them in mind since he said the corn dog was really good and I caught a glimpse of the funnel cakes which looked delicious. Arteries beware!

Do they still sell chicken tenders? Heard they're gone from all of Disneyland and DCA.

They still sell them. What they stopped selling are the mozzarella sticks.

We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.

I had the salmon and it was cooked very well. And the sides that it came with were very good. I would not have ordered orange slices and beets on my own, but it worked. My friend had the filet and he says it was excellent as well. The finger potatoes were also very good. I also really liked the crab cake appetizers. Sometimes crab cakes have too much breading and they taste more like cake than crab, but not here. You definitely get a full bite of crab. And the bread was also interesting ... They baked a bunch of different kinds of bread into one piece. Very cute and they were all very tasty. One more thing to point out was that the service was great. Indeed, the waiter remembered my comment about not liking cilantro and, even without my asking, made sure to have anything with cilantro have the cilantro on the side.

A 40th Birthday Dinner to Remember at The Ranch!…read more From the moment I walked in, I already knew this was going to be an EXPERIENCE! I've only ever been to the saloon portion of The Ranch, so for my 40th birthday, I decided to try the restaurant. And let me tell you... NO DISAPPOINTMENTS WHATSOEVER! We had a reservation, which I HIGHLY recommend. We were seated promptly, and the service was already setting the bar high. First up, they bring out this WAGON WHEEL-SHAPED BREAD! I didn't get a picture because, well, I was too hungry. But this beauty was made up of SEVEN different types of rolls, which I will now name because, yes, I tried them all! Haha! Dark squaw, cranberry, brioche, walnut multigrain, jalapeño, sweet Portuguese, and sourdough. All served with butter, of course. The jalapeño roll was hands down THEEEEE BEST! AND THAT WAS JUST THE DAMN BREAD!!! Next came the drinks (pictured)! I ordered the Lock, Stock and Barrel, made with Russell's Reserve 10 Year Bourbon, Disaronno Amaretto, Amaro Averna, orange bitters, and chocolate bitters. My date ordered the Black Betty, made with Ketel One Vodka, triple sec, fresh lemon juice, and house-made blackberry-basil simple syrup. Both drinks were ON POINT! Delicious, beautifully made, and VERY, VERY STRONG. One was plenty to get you feeling good! Go for two if you REALLY want to party. LOL! For our appetizer, we ordered the CASTROVILLE GLOBE ARTICHOKE, steamed and grilled. Now, I've had artichokes before, but LET ME TELL YOU... NOTHING LIKE THIS! They bring out a whole, hefty artichoke with a beautiful char on it. There was plenty of flesh and leaves to savor, and it came with two sauces: Green Olive & Pine Nut Chimichurri and Preserved Meyer Lemon Remoulade. The chimichurri was good, but that Meyer lemon remoulade?!? I COULD EAT THAT ON EVERYTHING! And I pretty much did! On the bread? CHECK! On my main dish? CHECK AND CHECK! Absolutely sensational! For our entrées, I ordered the PAN-SEARED HALIBUT (pictured), served with zucchini and squash risotto, patty pan squash, tempura squash blossom, and pink pepper and citrus emulsion. My date ordered the MUSTARD-GLAZED BONE-IN PORK CHOP (pictured), served with molasses-mustard glaze, apple butter, apples, chive mashed potatoes, bacon, cipollini onions, and whiskey-pork bone sauce. Both dishes came out at the perfect time, right after we finished our appetizer. From the first bite to the last, it was pure FLAVOR! The halibut was cooked to perfection, and the risotto complemented it beautifully. And yes, this is another dish I used that Meyer lemon remoulade on. HAHA! Now, that pork chop? FORGET ABOUT IT! One of the BEST I've ever had. Seriously! We also ordered two sides to accompany our meals: the SEASONAL MUSHROOMS (pictured), simply sautéed with sherry, and the CREAMED SPINACH (pictured). I absolutely DEMOLISHED IT ALL! When our server returned and offered dessert, I was already full... BUT OF COURSE I WAS STILL GOING FOR IT! Hey, it's my 40th birthday! Why the heck not?! I was torn between the TAHITIAN VANILLA BEAN CRÈME BRÛLÉE, served with seasonal madeleines, and the STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING, served with sassafras caramel and Honey Jack Daniel's ice cream. I ended up ordering the crème brûlée, but when our server came back, he brought out BOTH desserts! He told me he had mentioned to the chef that I couldn't decide between the two, so the chef made me both! And to top it all off, the crème brûlée came with a chocolate "Happy Birthday" message. THAT RIGHT THERE SEALED THE DEAL! Five stars across the board, from start to finish! If I could give more, I absolutely would. The food, the drinks, the service, the timing, and that extra birthday surprise made this an unforgettable first-time dining experience. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! For sure, for sure! If you're ever in the Anaheim area and want an incredible dinner with five-star treatment, The Ranch is WHERE IT'S AT! Every single time! And if you're so inclined to listen to some country music and do a little line dancing to work off all that amazing food, head over to the saloon afterward for an equally great time! YEE-HAW, Y'ALL!
