When you’re in Disneyland, there are so many different restaurants to choose from, it can be overwhelming!

Thankfully, that’s why we’re here! We’ve dined at all the restaurants on property and are here to help you decide which ones are a good fit for your vacation and which ones you may want to skip. We headed over to River Belle Terrace to check out their brunch menu, and let’s just say, you may want to add it to your list!

Atmosphere

River Belle Terrace is a table service restaurant with oodles of classic charm that overlooks the picturesque Rivers of America. This restaurant focuses on Southern fare and is sure to serve up something delicious for everyone in your party.

Inside, you’ll be seated in an airy, garden-inspired dining room, while the outdoor seating area offers classic views of the Rivers of America. Either way, you’re in for a treat!

Menu

At this spot, brunch is served from 11 AM – 3:55 PM and offers a few classic breakfast options such as Signature Pancakes and Biscuits and Gravy, while dinner is served starting at 4PM and serves up signature entrees like Fried Chicken Sandwiches and Pork Chops.

The menu is pretty decently sized here, and because of that, it’s a good spot for picky eaters as well, especially at brunch. Dinner may be a little harder, so if you know you’ve got picky eaters in your group, we suggest aiming for brunch. That’s what we’re here for today, so without further ado, let’s eat!

Eats

To start us off, we grabbed a breakfast-like item — the Apple Pancake Rolls for $17. These have Apple Pie Topping, Walnut Streusel, and Cinnamon Chantilly Cream, served with Choice of Bacon or Sausage.

We were able to get a piece of bacon and a piece of sausage with ours. The bacon was crispy and thick, and the sausage was surprisingly flavorful with crispy skin but a soft inside, so we were happy to start out strong.

The pancakes came with a vanilla chantilly cream, which was our favorite part! It was so sweet, and we loved getting to dip our pancakes in it. Overall, this dish tasted like fall in the best way, and we would absolutely get it again!

Moving on to a more hearty lunch-like option, we grabbed the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich for $24, which comes with Fried Cherry Peppers, Pickle Coleslaw, and BBQ Aïoli with House Fries.

This thing was MASSIVE and we were really looking forward to it, but unfortunately, we weren’t fans because it was so greasy. The BBQ aioli didn’t really add much flavor, which means that if you’re not a BBQ fan, you really won’t have an issue here since the flavor is so light. However, if you were looking forward to it, like we were, you’ll be let down.

The fries, on the other hand, were amazing! They’re similar to the film strip fries over at Award Wieners in Disney California Adventure, but had a really nice seasoning on them that left us wishing it came with more.

Finally, it was time for dessert! The House-Made Pudding is $12 and is Cheesecake Pudding with Strawberry Streusel and Vanilla Chantilly Cream.

This was very light and refreshing! The sweet chantilly cream paired perfectly with the fresh and sweet strawberries. This gave strong summer vibes, and we’d recommend it to anyone who loves strawberries or is looking for a lighter dessert option.

But is it really worth a table service reservation?

Nosh or Not

This Disneyland restaurant is a must-visit if…

• You’re looking for a solid brunch option
• You want pancakes in the early afternoon (who doesn’t?)
• You want a relaxing atmosphere with great views that doesn’t feel fancy

You should skip this Disneyland spot if…

• You’re not wanting to spend an hour+ sitting down to eat
• You don’t like brunch and want to eat LUNCH before 4 PM
• You want a spot with different theming than classic Southern charm

Overall

We think River Belle Terrace is a great spot to dine at in the parks, especially since not many table service spots offer brunch, and that’s pretty special! We suggest checking the menu online ahead of time to see if you and your party will enjoy the offerings at Brunch or Dinner here, and if everyone can find something they like, we think it’s a choice you won’t regret.
