Below is our ranking of the Disney Table Service restaurants that serve lunch and dinner. This ranking covers all Disneyland locations (Disneyland Park, California Adventure Park, Downtown Disney, Disney Hotels).
Table Service restaurants accept dining reservations in advance. You will be seated at a table and Cast Member wait staff will take your order and deliver your food. Tipping your server is customary.
Most of these locations don’t serve breakfast. We have a separate post for Disneyland Breakfast Restaurants. Character Dining is in its own category and we have a separate post on Character Dining at Disneyland.
We have separate posts for
- Quick Service Restaurants in Disneyland Park Ranked
- Quick Service Restaurants Downtown Disney Ranked
- Quick Service Restaurants in California Adventure Park Ranked.
We added a * below the to the restaurants with Special Dining Packages. These restaurants offer reserved viewing for World of Color or Fantasmic shows.

Summary
That’s our opinion and yours may be different, of course. We have not tried every menu item at every restaurant. We we only include our favorites based on what we’ve tried.
We will return to all of these restaurants again. We are not suggesting you avoid the lowest ranked restaurants. There is good food to be had at all of these restaurants.
We didn’t rank the Magic Key Terrace above because it’s only for Magic Key Annual Passholders. It’s a lounge that serves mostly appetizers.
The dining packages for preferred viewing for nighttime spectaculars can be a great option. The preferred viewing areas can save you time and improve your view for popular shows.
Menus are always changing and we have not tried every item on every menu. We do our best to sample a lot of different dishes. We rank based on the overall experience for our group of 4 to 6 people who attended.
Thanks for reading this and please check out our full website for lots more content. We at the Bippity Club wish you the very best and hope you enjoy awesome food at Disneyland!
