Our table was in the ice cream parlor so atmosphere was horrible. Burgers were over cooked. Order was delivered wrong. Table service is dead at Disney, it sems.

My husband wanted to try the Hearty Veggie Burger (he has celiacs and is vegan) it's his first time at carnation cafe. His reaction to the burger was, he would get it again...if there was nothing else. He wouldn't seek it out. I tried Walt's chili for the first time. It was good. Not a thick chili but good. I would not get it again. I'm going to honest here. This is not a place to get a cocktail. We both ordered an old fashioned and it was just BAD. Sent them back. We were told it comes from a mix. Definitely not for us. Overall, carnation cafe for us is not a place we would return to. A beautiful piece of Disney history, that's where it ends for us.

Truthfully the worst restaurant experience I’ve had anywhere in years.
First, what’s the point of a reservation if after checking in there is a 20 minute wait and you can’t leave the immediate area.
Second, the service was about the worst I’ve ever experienced. We sat down and ordered as quickly as we could and got our drinks. Thirty minutes later we got the attention of a staff member and finally got some refills. Twenty minutes later three tables around us had been served their meals after sitting down and ordering after us. Our server finally came by and said the chicken was taking a long time. The only problem was two of the other tables were eating the same dish. After confronting the server for lying he decided to take off the cost of that entree. We asked for a second refill of drinks and I then decided that taking my daughter shopping in emporium would be a better use of waiting. Ten more minutes later we got our food. Followed up by not seeming our server again and having to try to get the attention of another server to get refills and to ask for the check. I’m all for peaceful dining experiences, but semi-attentive service and truthful interactions would have made a huge difference.

Yes, yes, Yes. Super choice for dinner. Make the online reservation and you will not be disappointed. We had the chef salad. Perfect size and ingredients. Enjoy

The appetizers are the stars of the show here with both the chilli and potato soup hitting the right spots on a cool night. The mains are your typical burgers served in different ways, but if there is still portions available, definitely go for the beef stroganoff. Service, like the rest of Disneyland restaurants is impeccable with prompt and courteous service throughout the meal. So what’s the real reason for coming? It’s to see Main Street transform into a beautiful sea of lights at dusk. Well worth it.

Had a 6:40 reservation and was texted 35 minutes later saying my table was finally ready. Then I waiting another 15 minutes to be seated. Have to say that is the longest I have waiting for having a reservation. Hostess was not the friendliest. Waitress was very sweet and improved our experience.

The chicken driver was terrible it was cold and not fully cooked. It was thawed. The green beans were delicious. Needed more mashed potatoes. 2 stars server was nice and polite

We ordered pumpkin ale, beef stroganoff & some boneless chicken. They make beef stroganoff with BACOn and it wasn’t showing on the menu, even our server didn’t know until I asked him and he had to go to the kitchen to check. Yes it Has bacon, why to ruin a dish!? Disagree here. Chicken was great. Our server Max was amazing, so attentive and extremely nice and professional gentleman, he was 10 out of 10. Our reservation took little less then 30min.
We had lunch here during our visit. Our reservation was for 11:30 but we didn't get seated until after 12. The service was good and the food came out quickly. We enjoyed the fried pickles, but the lunch meals were just ok. My $23 Burger wasn't anything special and I had to add ketchup to enjoy it. My wife's chicken fried chicken had gravy that tasted like ham. She thought it was ok but I didn't like it at all. My orange cream soda was beautiful but looked better than it tasted. Just an ok meal.

Sooo loud and squished. Extremely overpriced for the quality of food. Lots better places to eat at Disney. Pickles were good.

Love that you can get Mickey waffles here. Waffle was very crunchy and comes with butter and real maple syrup. Comes with bacon - I believe they cook it in the oven which I love. We also tried the cheese omelet with chili- it as also delicious. Cool too that they gave me a to go cup for my Diet Coke which was much appreciated. Great food and experience. Highly recommend reservations to ensure you can get a table.

Made reservations 60 days in advance. Was only able to secure dinner for 4:10 which is a bit early. I need to eat dairy free so ordered the veggie burger which I've had before and remember it being delicious. They've made some changes to it. It's not that great. The slaw is weird. It was better when it had the normal burger fixings. Fries were good! My daughter had the club sandwich. The lemon aioli made it weird but otherwise it was decent. Our food came out slower than those that ordered after us. We did have excellent service but probably won't return in the future. Food just isn't that good anymore and pricey for not enjoying it.
