OLP Review:

DO NOT miss this place!
Not counter service, but fast and yummy.
We like the lunch menu the best and it seems to be less busy then, too. (and cheaper)
Try to get a waterside table. The POC ride starts along side the seating area and it's so pretty with lightning bugs and frogs singing.
The Monte Christo Sandwich is probably the very best and when we've been in DL, it only seems to be on the lunch menu.
My only complaint is that it's pretty dark in there, but beautiful.
PS's are probably a good idea, especially on weekends-altho we've really never had a problem getting seated at lunch.

Just Okay8/9/2009 by Amy
Eating at the Blue Bayou has definitely changed recently. Although we were excited to see the upgraded salads instead of the old ones, the entree sides of potato's and poorly cooked white asperagus disappoint. The Jambalaya still can't be beat, and the main courses themselves are still quite tasty. Being inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride while you eat is priceless if it's a family favorite. Overall, the food here is good not great but you are paying for the experience not so much the food. Waitstaff is usually excellent but try to avoid being sat in the far right corner by the kitchen where it seems new staff is often covering tables. Make sure to request a table waterside even if you have to wait. It will make the experience ten times better and when you're paying these prices, a 15 minute wait for the best tables are worth it.Read reviews by this author

Blue Bayou10/1/2008 by Christee

The atmosphere is really the main course here.  The restaurant overlooks the first part of the amazing Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. 

The menu was limited but the desserts make up for that.  We just had appetizers, crab cakes and a shrimp remoulade, quite tasty. 

For dessert I had the the Flying Dutchman Cookie boat and my Husband had the Tortuga trio of creme brulee.  As you can it's a pirate theme for being in the PIrates of the Caribbean attraction.

Blue Bayou Dinner Quality Slipping9/11/2006 by Tim
We finally returned to Disneyland after 9 years due to pregnancy with twins. On 9/6/2006, we decided to end our wonderful trip with dinner at Blue Bayon and the experience was surprisingly disappointing. It felt like Bllue Bayou was trying to go "upscale" and ended up flopping. The dinner menu was severely limited and price had jumped to averaging $25 each. Not a big deal if the restaurant serves high quality food. We ordered Jambalaya, Portabella, Roast Chicken and Pork Chop. All but the Portabella dish arrived luke warm and the Portabella dish for my wife was cold. The chicken was a simple roasted chicken breast and the chop was just a chop and both were slightly over-done. Each came with just a pile of scalloped potato and a pile of sauteed spinach, not well presented on the plate. While both offered good flavors, nothing from the taste to the presentation makes them worth $25 each. The Jambalaya had good flavor, good ingredients but it was luke warm and the two King Crab legs were dry and cold, not succulent and moist. Still, it came closest to meeting the $25 price tag. My wife's Portabella was a cold and tasteless disaster. While service was Disney-cheery, the food felt trucked-in and reheated rather than made in an on-site kitchen. For the first time in 30+ years of visiting Disneyland, we felt "gouged". We will not return to the Blue Bayou in the future, a sad decision for we had enjoyed many wonderful dinners there over the years. When we return next year, we will eat at the Italian restaurant in the Disney plaza. It serves more choices and its dinner quality is better than that of Blue Bayou.Read reviews by this author

A place to be experianced. Even if it's a one time visit,do try it.

Walt love this place.

Lunch is fairly reasonale pricewise and you can get the famous BB MonteChristo.

LOts of Caygun entree's and pretty spicey. Very good bread and the salalds are good,too. Try to score a table by the water so you can enjoy the crickets and fireflies and watch the PoC boats go by.

PSs are a good idea,but walk-ins for a small party are a good bet,esp. in the off season during the day.

Food poisoning at Blue Bayou
7/22/2006 by Laurel
Celebrated my son's 13th birthday at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland.  3 out of the 4 of us became very ill.  After getting ill, we were all fine.  We only ate there that day and the day before did not have anything that would of caused us to be that ill.  I reported the incident to Disneyland and the response received was that they were not responsible for the incident.  No apology, no compensation for the $175 meal that made us ill on my son's birthday.  Unbelievable response!  I guess large corporations don't worry about a couple of "small" people.  By the way, the 4th person (a child), whom did not get ill avoided the salad and only was interested in the dessert.  This different from the three of us whom got very ill.

It was so romantic!3/5/2006 by Jenny
Out of all the restaurants weve been to at DL, Blue Bayou was the best for price, atmosphere, service and great food.  Youre eating right inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride...can it get more cool than that!?  Although it was dark, it was also very romantic and relaxing.  My DBF and I had a table by the water and listened to the soft sounds of a banjo playing and the chirping of crickets during our last lunch before going home.  It was a great way to saviour the last few days and wish we werent going home yet!Read reviews by this author
