Harbour Galley — Restaurant in Anaheim

Remember those days when Harbour Galley in Disneyland sold McDonald's french fries? Yeah, we do, too. But get this, guys: they now have one of the theme park's best snacks - freshly baked, warm, mini chocolate chip cookies! This is my new go-to snack, and I get them every single time I am at Disneyland!

Harbour Galley is also home to Disneyland's only lobster roll, but I recommend you skip it here. They totally skimp on the lobster filling, and it's ridiculously overpriced (even for Disney).

Located directly across from the Haunted Mansion, the Harbour Galley has very limited, outdoor-only seating. This means it fills up with people who rudely camp out for the Fantasmic show. Because of this, if you go in the evenings, you often won't be able to find a seat or a place to eat. We usually head down the hill towards Critter Country and grab a seat at the Hungry Bear. They have plentiful outdoor tables set along a small creek and nice views of the park.

As a cookie lover, I freaked out when during the winter holiday season, Harbour Galley offered mini gingerbread cookies in addition to the chocolate chip ones! And oh my heavens, they were DELICIOUS. If you are fortunate enough to visit when they have the seasonal gingerbread cookies on offer, get them!

The chocolate chip cookies are no joke though, and they are one of the tastiest treats ever. I usually get the 6 pack (cost: around $7) and keep them in my backpack to nibble on throughout the day. Admittedly, they aren't as good as when they are fresh and warm, but they're still cookies, so.....you get the drill!

Some pro tips if you're ordering cookies here.

First, put in your MOBILE ORDER early! The window to get the cookies is never less than 20 to 30 minutes, and sometimes can run up to an hour (or more)! To avoid disappointment, put in your order very, very early. I like to do it right before I ride Pirates and/or Haunted Mansion, because then after riding my cookies are ready for pick-up.

Second, you can request a complimentary cup of ice water when picking up your treat. Do this because the sweetness can overwhelm your palate otherwise!

You have the option of getting a dipping sauce or icing with your cookies, but I find that an unnecessarily added expense. Maybe try it once to see what you think, but I'd skip the extra cost. One exception: the icing cup they sold with the gingerbread cookies was...

Used to love this place, but now it’s really only good for the cookies. Always try to Mobile order (even if you’re in line), keep refreshing since the lines can be pretty long here. Love the theme and location right outside my favorite haunted mansion. Expanded seating area now too

They got rid of one my personal favorites throughout the park in the lobster roll and replaced it with a smaller unappetizing crab and shrimp roll.

Prices are what you’d expect for Disney, though now it feels like all across prices are up, portions are down

Chowder is decent, but there’s other places on the Disney property for better chowder.

Cookies are great, the OG chocolate cookies are always perfect. Moist, soft, and that meaty chocolate. Yum! Their seasonal menus are...

My friend, Drew, pointed out that they have the same soup that is served over at the Gumbo place in New Orleans Square, without the wait. They have gumbo, clam chowder, and broccoli cheese in bread boules! They also have salads, salmon or steak to be exact. The only thing they don't have are those yummy fritters, but then you can wait in line over at the other place for that. An extra half star for absolutely 0 wait. The broccoli cheese boule hits the spot too. I enjoyed my steak salad which is sliced thin like roast beef. Drew recommended the salmon salad. For $9.99, it was pretty good and healthy to boot. They take the Disney...
