Movieguy Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) I'm on the verge of a new trip, as I've mentioned before, and I've been looking through this thread to see any mention of the parks I'm going to. I already know about Kennywood and their fries, of course. Plus, it seems that Del Grossos makes good pizza, and other Italian fare, which is why I'm going there the same day I'm hitting Lakemont. I love hearing that Idlewild makes gyros as well. The fact they serve Potato Patch fries too is very encouraging. I also remember that they gave Robb and the guys some good looking doughnuts when they visited on the Behemoth Bash trip . Do they serve those at the park, or was that a special treat for the visit? Is there anything I should look out for at Waldameer Park, or is all their fare pretty standard? Edited June 12, 2011 by Movieguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 ^ RE: Waldameer...pretty standard fare, although there is a Potato Patch over by the entrance to the water park. Not sure if they are quite as good as the one's at Kennywood, but they smelled pretty good when I walked past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Granny Smith Apple Fries are one of the best theme park snack foods around. 100% agreed! I learned how to make the fries at home...all that's left now is to figure out how to make the vanilla whipped cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoasters Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'm normally too busy hopping from coaster coaster to stop and eat a slow meal instead of shove it down my face. I did notice that LC had good food. The one BBQ place in the SheiKra area at BGT is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drachen77 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Busch Gardens Williamsburg is my home park so I have to vote for them. I eat at Trapper's Smokehouse every time I go. When I used to work there, I would get over to the Three Rivers Smokehouse (that's what it used to be called) almost every night for dinner. Ristorante della Piazza has some fantastic Italian food and is really a can't miss. If I remember right, its all home-made right there. Having lived in Germany for 3 years, I can also vouch for the food in Das Festhaus. The sausages and german potato salad are pretty spot-on. Maybe I didn't eat at the right places, but Walt Disney World's food didn't really impress me. We had some crap burgers in Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. The food at the Morocco pavilion was awful. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe in Animal Kingdom so that doesn't really count. We had some pretty mediocre fish and fries in Magic Kingdom. The quality never really matched the price. We had some amazing food at The Three Broomsticks in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure. My wife and daughter had huge chicken salads, my son had a a great turkey leg, and I had a fantastic plate of chicken, corn and potatoes. But...hands-down THE best restaurant I've ever eaten at inside a theme park has to be Sharks Underwater Grill at Sea World Orlando. It was sooo expensive but very worth it. My wife had one of the best New York Strip Steaks ever. I had a perfectly grilled Alaskan Salmon steak and my kids shared delicious chicken pasta alfredo. If you can spare the money, it really can't be missed. Also, go there early in the day and reserve your seats right next to the shark tanks. It will be one of the most amazing dining experiences of your life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Anyone have any real good food this summer at a park that they had not tried previously? For me the cheese steak at Jumbo's at Morey's Piers was real good even though the wait time was horrendous. Also, had awesome Katsu Chicken/Pork Curry at many parks in Japan. Kijimi Kogen, Universal Japan and Mitsui Greenland stand out as exceptional. Also had great Shrimp Tempura at Nasu Highland.

Schotcher Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 BGW. None of the restaurants are chains, wide variety of genuine food, and the restaurants blend in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 This summer, I experienced quite a bit of good park food. I experienced the pizza at Del Grossos, and I loved the sauce, which I just ordered another case of recently for our pasta dishes back home. I still like the pizza at Knoebels a little better though, because the crust on the Del Grossos pie was a little bit lacking for me. At Lakemont, I tried a stack of millennium chips (They called them something else I can't remember), topped with all kinds of tasty, heart clogging stuff, and it was quite good, aside from maybe needing a little more salt. Then I got to experience the phenomena known as the Potato Patch at Kennywood for the first time since 2005. Plus they had one at Idlewild, which made things doubly sweet. Something about those fries, the real bacon bits, and the cheese, that just keeps me coming back for more. There wasn't really anything of note at Waldameer, though I thought their funnel cake was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Anyone want to add any new food items they tried? My highlights from 2012 were. This past summer at Knoebels, I introduced some TPR members to Frozen Sweet Tea and Cheese on a Stick. Potato Patch Fries (Bacon and Cheese) at Kennywood for the first time in years. Dollywood's Cinnamon Bread Beaver Tail at LaRonde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayTricky Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 WDW Hollywood Studios had some AMAZING pretzels. When handing over the money I was told "No, it's ok - Mickey is paying for it today" by the worker... which I was shocked about. Very very generous. Does this happen a lot? Also, the Rose and Crown pub at Epcot had a great fish and chips. I've ate there a few times and always enjoy going back especially when eating in front of the fireworks.

Oryp Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Knoebels' food is always awesome, as is BGW's. The all-you-can-eat buffet at BGW isn't actually that expensive, and the food is pretty good. If there aren't a lot of people in your group, it isn't much of a wallet-breaker. Plus, it's fun spraying people on the neighboring rapids ride between plates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canobie#1 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm going to go with Mythos at USF Islands of Adventure. The only reason why Lost Continent is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This past summer, I took my Mom to Knoebels, and she loved the place, especially the food. We sampled the pizza, the soft serve, and I had myself an ice cream waffle at one point. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodkf Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Best overall park food: Knoebels. The pizza, chicken fries, tri-taters, the ice cream (hard and soft), pork BBQ...I could go on and on, but trust me, the food here rules, and it's pretty damn cheap too. Best Restaurant Inside A Park: Mythos - Could easily compete with any place out on Citywalk. So looking forward to my meal there soon! I agree that WDW has good food. Except the stuffed baked potato at The Land food court. That was horrid! I'll have to try some places in the World Showcase, as the only places I've been to are Japan (which kicked A$$) and France (where we just had bread and cheese). Any suggestions? dt yeah dude its overall good keep it for sharing such a nice info...it should be share around the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingwright Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 May not be the best, but I love me some Disneyland corn dogs! Worst = Knott's mexican food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 ^The corn dogs from that wagon on Main Street are excellent. If you're craving corn dogs at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, get them at Pigs in a Kilt in Scotland, where they fry them up fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Roller77 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 For me, it's definitely funnel cake, covered with cinnamon and powdered sugar.. they're made at the local carnival every summer. Darien Lake has a good sausage sandwich, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1rollercoasterfan Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 DISNEY!!! Last year at WDW MK I had the most delicious pork sandwich in Tomorrowland & at the Hollywood Studios I had the most delicious veggie sandwich by the Honey Shrunk playground. & Of course the Dole Whips. All Disney food is delicious on both coasts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Disney has come a long way in their food offerings. I remember back when I was in high school in the 1970s that outside of the French Market or the Blue Bayou, DL's food was pretty much "meh," at best.
