About Plaza Inn

The Plaza Inn at Disneyland offers a surprisingly high-value dining option, particularly with their 3-piece fried chicken platter. Priced at $19.49, this dish includes a breast, thigh, and leg of deliciously crispy fried chicken, accompanied by a scoop of creamy mashed potatoes and gravy, a side of string beans, and a buttery biscuit. The reviews consistently praise the excellent quality and flavor of the fried chicken, with one diner declaring it to be "the best fried chicken ever." The side dishes also receive high marks, especially the mashed potatoes, which are described as "oh my."

In addition to the fried chicken, Plaza Inn features a breakfast buffet that includes the iconic Mickey waffles and a selection of breakfast items like fried chicken, cereal, and eggs. Guests with dietary restrictions, such as celiac disease, have reported positive experiences with the staff accommodating their needs. The portion sizes are quite generous, with one reviewer noting that a single plate could easily be shared between two people.

Guests enjoy the great service and the opportunity to meet characters, enhancing their dining experience. The fried chicken is a standout, with many reviewers calling it "deliciousness." Salads are always fresh, and the Thousand Island dressing is amazing. Seating is plentiful, and the shaded area provides a perfect respite from the hot and humid Disney days. Drink options are numerous, though there have been occasional issues with running out of silverware. Overall, Plaza Inn is a favorite spot for many, offering a delightful dining experience worth every penny.
