Royal Street Veranda — Restaurant in Anaheim

With so many places to eat around Disneyland, Royal Street Veranda can sometimes be overlooked. This quick-service spot offers hearty clam chowder, plant-based chili, and unique seasonal snacks--a solid 3.75 star, a-ok rating for me.

As of February 2025, the breakfast menu includes the popular Waffle Cristo (in full and half orders), seasonal snacks, and beverages.

For lunch and dinner, entrées include clam chowder or plant-based chili in a sourdough bread bowl, seasonal items, kids' meals, and non-alcoholic beverages. The snack-size Mardi Gras Monte Cristo was delicious and comforting, perfect for one person or sharing with a friend.

The sourdough bread bowls can be a hit or miss. Although I have had fresh bread in the past, the bread in my recent order was cold and stale. Also, the price is the same, whether the chowder or soups come with or without the bread bowl. I think you'd get more soup in a regular bowl, but I'll have to find out next time. They also charge extra for the little dipping sauces or jam cup. It would have been nice to include it with the items.

There is one window for walk-up ordering and one for pickup, including mobile orders. Mobile ordering is the way to go to save time. Magic Key discounts also apply.

There are a few tables available at RSV but they can be crowded. You can also walk over to Tiana's Palace, Harbour Galley, or Stage Door Cafe (next to River Belle Terrace) for additional tables and breathing room.

Note: I prefer the clam chowder at Aunt...

The Baseline: For theme park to-go food stands the food must be tasty, have an experience, reliable service, and be a part of the experience.

Food: I love Royal Street in the morning, evening, and even at supper time! I have been here for morning monte cristos and seasonal cold brews and for quick fritter bites in the evening, because this stand has a revolving rotating menu keeping it fresh in offerings. This trip gave me a Buffalo Chicken Beignets Slider opportunity which was awesome. Spicy chicken with slaw between two pillowy beignets… yes… this. Though this is supposed to be available until the end of June 2025, they always have a Monte Cristo-esque type of offering and I suggest you give that a try.

Service: Disney cast member service is always at a 5-star in the parks and today was no different. Got my mobile order quick-n-easy. Also Magic Key discount applies here.

Ambience: Though the Nightmare Before Christmas store will be missed the Jazz club dining area makes up for it in the awesome place I get to eat now. The decor is kid friendly and appropriate to the theme of the area. I can always shop for Nightmare Before Christmas gear at the Haunted Mansion prefab-barn gift...

We come here for bread bowl soups 🍲 😋 hands down, one of our all-time favorites every time we come to this little corner here at Disneyland. This place never disappoints me. During the winter, the hot bowl 🥣 of soup in bread 🍞 is just the best comfort food ever. They have a little bit of everything if you love this menu 😋. I would highly recommend trying this place out next time you're here at Disneyland. You won't be disappointed, that's for sure. I can't wait to come back here. We just might have to come back before the month of December is over. This place is amazing during the...
