Plaza Inn

Nestled within the magical confines of Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Plaza Inn offers guests an inviting taste of classic American comfort food served with a sprinkle of Disney charm. This beloved restaurant and salad shop at 1313 Disneyland Dr invites visitors to indulge in an atmosphere that perfectly complements the nostalgic yet vibrant vibe of Main Street, U.S.A.

Plaza Inn is famed for its hearty and satisfying menu, where every dish promises a dining experience that’s both familiar and delightfully memorable. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Fried Chicken Dinner Plate—three pieces of golden, crispy chicken seasoned with distinctive herbs and spices, delivering a mouthwatering crunch with every bite. Paired with creamy mashed potatoes drenched in rich gravy, a fluffy buttermilk biscuit, and seasonal vegetables, this dish conjures comforting warmth that feels like a home-cooked hug against the backdrop of Disneyland’s lively atmosphere.

For those seeking variety, the Pot Roast offers slow-roasted tenderness served alongside the same luscious mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Meanwhile, the Honey Salmon Plate features citrus herb-crusted salmon that melts in your mouth, balanced perfectly by fresh seasonal veggies and a basil-infused topping, providing a lighter yet equally indulgent option.

Vegetable lovers and salad enthusiasts will appreciate Plaza Inn’s fresh offerings like the Chopped Salad and the classic Cobb Salad, which add a crisp, refreshing counterpoint to the hearty mains. The menu also caters to younger diners with the Kids’ Disney Check Meal, such as the Penne Pasta with marinara sauce alongside applesauce and carrots, ensuring nutritious, balanced meals are available for little ones.

Complement these savory delights with enchanting desserts that elevate the overall dining experience. The vibrant Rainbow Cake and the velvety Strawberry Shortcake are customer favorites, celebrated for their perfect sweetness and whimsical flair. For a seasonal treat, the Gingerbread Bundt Cake and rich Red Velvet Cake offer cozy, festive flavors. And if you crave a tangy finish, the Key Lime Tart or Lemon Tart deliver zesty freshness that balances the palate.

Plaza Inn also offers a variety of beverages including classic Assorted Fountain Beverages, warm Coffee and Hot Tea, as well as refreshing DASANI Bottled Water and Minute Maid Fruit Punch, rounding out each meal perfectly.

The dining atmosphere at Plaza Inn is warmly inviting, blending the classic Disneyland charm with cozy comfort that makes it easy to linger and enjoy the magical surroundings. Guests frequently praise the impeccable service and the opportunity to dine alongside beloved Disney characters during special events and character breakfasts like "Minnie & Friends." The character interactions here add a layer of enchantment that makes dining not just a meal but an experience steeped in nostalgia and joy.

Reviewers consistently rave about the friendly, welcoming vibe and the consistently delicious meals. One guest emphatically claimed it to have the “best fried chicken ever,” enjoying dinner paired with an evening fireworks show, turning a simple meal into a dazzling event. Another highlights the seamless blend of excellent food and delightful character visits, calling Plaza Inn’s fried chicken “absolutely 5 stars.” While some note minor changes over the years—like the removal of whipped cream from waffles—the overall impression remains that Plaza Inn delivers exactly what Disney fans crave: delicious, comforting food served with a side of magic.
