The crab cakes are a must try! I enjoyed them more than my meal. My chicken was a tad rubbery but this is definitely one of the better places to eat within the Park. It is actually relaxing to sit at and we had “water viewing” seats so it was fun to wave at boats. We were lucky enough to snag a random open spot during lunch in person. Definitely will go again to try more. My last visit here had been 2019 and this time around the food was much better.

We were so excited to make reservations to eat at the Blue Bayou restaurant inside of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
We had a late evening meal and everyone was extremely happy with the food that was served. We got a variety off the menu and were pleased with each meal. The crab cakes were a pleasant appetizer to start off our meal. The market fish was amazing and very tasty.
Our female server was ok, but nothing special. She rarely came to our table and then spilled water on my daughter when she passed by.
The man JR was amazing!!!! He was super sweet and made our meal amazing and gave us great suggestions of places to visit while at the park. We felt well taken care of with him.
Overall, if you want a spectacular experience for the ambiance of a cool place to eat, then make sure to make reservations here. The food is expensive (30-60 a plate) but the food is quite delicious and worth it. I wish we had room for dessert, since we saw several tables order and were impressed with what we saw.

I’ve eaten here many times over the years and the atmosphere at this restaurant beats any nostalgic feeling any other Disney restaurant at any Disney park in the world can offer. The atmosphere and seating especially next to the to the river and watching all the people on the pirates of the Caribbean ride is an incredible feeling. The food is always good but the ambiance of this restaurant is second to none. It will always remain my favourite Disney restaurant. Pro tip, wake up 2 months in advance at 6am PST and make your reservation on the Disney website, otherwise there’s a chance you never get to eat here or experience what Walt Disney wanted us to experience before he died.

Absolutely loved our experience dining here. The photos are from 2 different times. Their pre fix meals are amazing! Bone-in ribeye size is as big as my hand. Cajun style chicken with rice was wonderful, not too dry. The porg seemed to be eyeing both ribeye and cajun chicken. Atmosphere is intimate with a side of humor. We were sat near the edge where the people on the boat from Pirates of the Carribean can see, some were mostly asking “How’s the food??” The waiters and waitresses were super friendly! We always try and make a point out of making reservation here when coming to Disneyland because the place and the whole experience makes it special after a long day in the theme park.

I have seen people eating here whenever I’ve ridden Pirates of the Caribbean, and have always wanted to come. I am happy that I did. Delicious food, the crafted ambiance of a cool night on the bayou was pleasant, and the service was fantastic, with a server bringing my friend a special Mickey Mouse crème brûlée tart when he was on the fence about ordering dessert at all.

Normally I’d go for my preferred cocktail, an espresso martini, but being southern themed, I HAD to go for the peach tea with rum.

After getting off the Pirates of the Caribbean and walking past, we were able to see they were taking walk-ins. What a delightful treat after a long day at Disneyland. It was nice to be able to sit down and have a wonderful meal. That was our waiter and he was absolutely phenomenal. He worked with us and helping us to make decisions when we were having a hard time His service was outstanding. The food was delicious and we did have a couple of little kerfuffles however he was able to overcome them. This was a great dining experience 10 out of 10 recommend if you’ve ever been on the Pirates of the Caribbean you’ve seen the restaurant you should definitely take time out. It does have a little bit of a small menu with not a lot of options, but they are willing to work with you. The bread is delicious. The steak was outstanding didn’t really like the flavored butter, but the butter with the bread you could eat without the bread, got some of the melted butter to put on the baked potato, and you could pretty much drink that stuff. It was so delicious. It really added an extra layer of yummy to the potato. The Dubai chocolate cheesecake was a little bit odd with the raspberry Cooley and chocolate rocks. I was a little perplexed by the oat crumble. On a sidenote, almost every restaurant in Disneyland and little cart stand that has a dessert comes with an oat crumble. I’m not really sure why they might’ve gotten a really good deal on oat crumble or somebody is just a really big fan, but I don’t think that it added to this dessert in any way shape or form. Again 10 out of 10 recommend coming. It is a little pricey, but the portions are great and the service is outstanding.

Every time my fiancé and I dine here, it’s been an incredible experience! We both got the gumbo as a starter (an absolute must) and a got the 70the anniversary pre-fixe which was exemplary! The salad was fresh, while the ribeye… it’s a steak that dreams are made of. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, seasoned perfectly! The chocolate pistachio cheese cake was a perfect finale! My fiancé had the chicken(not pictured) and loved it! For dessert she got the doberge cake which was DELICIOUS (she gave me a bite ) and it looked great too! Definitely worth the effort! Hurricanes were tasty as always too!

We have enjoyed many wonderful meals and service here. The outstanding atmosphere is the most unique in the parks.
My husband has celiacs disease and is vegan.
His go to dishes here are the beet salad and pistachio lemon basil pasta (yes, they can make it GF upon request), delicious! I really enjoy the prime rib when it’s available (also gf, not vegan).
Sip a glass of wine, watch the boats go by and enjoy getting off your feet with some good food, cheers!

Yea this place was awesome. I came to Disney for the first time last summer and after pirates I was this place and told my wife we should try it. Well we had the chance to go for Valentine’s Day and it was incredible.

The restaurant itself is super cool in the middle of the ride, you get to take the whole vibe in and it’s just great.

The service was great as well. Very kind staff and they took great care of us.

We started with the Gumbo and the bread. And let me tell ya the Gumbo is freaking delicious, I would’ve been happy with just that. The bread was tasty as well with the fresh jam and butter that comes with it. We also got their lemonade which was the best I’ve ever had (I had 4 glasses of the stuff)

My wife and I both got the Prime Rib steak and it was so tasty, it was nice and tender and was seasoned very well. The potatoes were also seasoned well although a little bit salty. And the asparagus was delicious, my wife doesn’t normally like asparagus and she loved it.

We got a slice of Chocolate Cake to share and it was one of the best slices I’ve ever had, just nice and moist cake with tasty icing.

We had a great experience here. The reservations are super hard to get and it can be very pricy, my wife and I paid a little under $200 for our meal. We felt very satisfied with the portion sizes as well, although we could’ve had some more Gumbo.

Overall this is a great restaurant and we had a great time. If your looking for a great fancy restaurant in Disney I would definitely consider this one

Blue Bayou is one of the more upscale dining options at Disneyland but doesn’t sacrifice the elements of magic and whimsy that the theme park is known for. Located in New Orleans Square, the Blue Bayou restaurant transports its guests to an evening patio on a Louisiana waterfront. The sky is a saturated cobalt blue and adorned with the light of fireflies and paper lanterns. It can take months to secure a reservation here and up to half a year if you want a table right next to the water. And it’s easy to see why. The Pirates of the Caribbean ride drifts right next to the dining area, so waterside tables get a super unique, exclusive experience. On my first visit, I sat right next to the restroom in the very back of the restaurant, but I am proud to share that on THIS visit, I moved up one whole row (still next to the restroom though).

Our server, Jordan, was great! He was nice, funny, and super on top of everything. He also convinced us to order everything on the menu that we were on the fence about, and two cocktails later, we couldn’t be more grateful.

I had the Sweet Peach Iced Tea with Rum, which was amazing. After a whole day consuming sweets, I was looking for something refreshing with a little bitterness to it, and this drink did just that. It was not too sweet, and the tea flavor had just the right amount of bitterness. For those looking for a sweeter cocktail, the Hurricane is definitely the way to go. Light and dark rum with passionfruit and citrus juices. This tasted like pure nectar, like orange juice from the Garden of Eden itself.

I had the crab cakes for my appetizer, which, at $18, came with 2 crab cakes and a small apple arugula salad. I’m a bit on the fence about the value as the portion only came with 2 crab cakes and the size of each crab cake was smaller than expected. If I were to nitpick further, I thought that the outside of the crab cakes were a bit overdone and dry. But other than that, the flavor was good and the inside of the cakes were still enjoyable.

For my entree, I had the prime rib, which came with mashed potatoes and roasted broccolini. The steak was tender and juicy, and I liked the peppercorn demi-glace sauce. Just be careful as there is a salt crust, and my first bite was only that, which was a bit of a nasty surprise.

One of my friends got the Prix-Fixe menu, which came with a dark chocolate pistachio cheesecake. At this point, we were all stuffed, so we shared it. It did not taste like pistachio, which is what I loved about it. It was actually a pretty good cheesecake – not too sweet, tangy, and the bitterness of the dark chocolate balanced everything out. 

Speaking of being stuffed, I will say that the portion sizes of the entrees are huge. I was struggling to get down my last bites of steak, and my friend who got the entree-sized portion of the gumbo was marooned on gumbo island. To be super honest, the gumbo was delicious. Like it was really good. Like it was better than the ribeye and the prime rib, good. The flavors were wonderful, and the dish was perfectly seasoned. If you are not that hungry, I would highly suggest you stick to the appetizer-sized portion.

In the end, I decided to give 5 stars to Blue Bayou because for a theme park dining experience, this was very good. I could definitely see myself coming back, but would probably opt to share dishes next time as the portion sizes are very big. I hope that I will be able to sit one additional row closer to the water next time as well.
