Our Ranking #20 in Table Service Restaurants, Serves Brunch, Lunch and Dinner Daily
For other restaurant rankings, see our article on Disneyland Table Service Restaurants Ranked
The River Belle Terrace offers a Southern-inspired menu which feature some dishes with barbecued meats and usually some spicy options. The patio is lovely and vibrant and overlooks the Rivers of America, but the interior seating ambiance is dated. It’s the only Table Service restaurant that has no bathroom because it used to be a Quick Service restaurant.
They offer a Fantasmic dining package – see our post on Special Dining Packages for more info on this.
Menu Highlights
The menu has changed since we last visited so we don’t have a lot of favorites to highlight below. They offer a BBQ Burnt Ends Pasta, Grits, Pork Chop, and Chicken Pot Pie Soup. They usually offer one salad entree on the menu that has meat.
We score River Belle Terrace lower because of their barbecued meat, which is featured in many of their dishes. The barbecued meat has been on the dry side (for us). The barbecue seasoning/sauce was fine, but we expected better for Table Service prices. The salads we’ve had there were more in line with Quick Service Restaurant salads.
We have had some excellent pudding here. Our favorite was the banana pudding in particular.
Our Favorites at River Belle Terrace: Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Pudding desserts
We have not tried their Brunch which starts at 10 AM so our ranking is only for Lunch/Dinner.
This is one of the easier locations to get a Table Service reservation. You can join the walk up list on the Disneyland App on the day of your visit. There is often wait list availability here. If you want to eat here, we always recommend reservations in advance to be sure. This restaurant is not as popular at the other Table Service restaurants in Disneyland.
Pro Tips
We would ask for patio seating and Cast Members will try but they can’t promise anything.
On Fantasmic performance days (usually weekends). It’s harder to get in for dinner here when Fantasmic runs. They do a seating at 7:15 on the Patio for Special Dining Packages. They stay seated there to watch the show.
This may sound weird, but go to the restroom before you sit down here. They don’t have restrooms and the closest are
Summary
That’s our opinion and yours may be different, of course. We have not tried every menu item, so we only include our favorites based on what we’ve tried.
River Belle Terrace is fine and many people enjoy this restaurant. We rank it low in Table Service restaurants because we feel the food quality does not match the prices.
