The Blue Bayou-Ambiance Extreme

While most Disney fans would love nothing more than a meal at Club 33, let's face facts, its difficult to get in. Very, very difficult indeed. Feel bad? Don't!
Just next door is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Southern California. While it's located in So. Cal, the ambiance and architecture is distinctly 'Old South'. Paper lanterns, frogs croaking amidst a backdrop of cypress, a trapper's shack with the occupant still sitting on the porch, strums of a banjo, it's all there.
The Bayou is busy and for good cause, the food is wonderful. With an expansive menu featuring molasses brined pork loin, sumptuous prime rib, fresh fish, crab cakes, a delicious pirate cookie boat dessert, fresh salads, tasty appetizers, it's more than a restaurant, it's an experience!
As for us, we try to visit at least once every two months. I always request a water-side table along the rail, as we love watching guests float by as they begin their POTC journey. Yes, you can even here the famous talking skull and the joyous screams as guests slip down the first waterfall. Once I saw young chap, whilst trying to entertain his beautiful date, yell to a Bayou guests, "Throw me your bread!" I have no idea where it came from, but sure enough, a fresh sourdough roll was seen quickly flying towards the boat where the young man barely caught it. What ever you do, don't get caught tossing food, they'll politely ask you to leave!
We still laugh about that every time we visit.
The pricing at the BB is very fair. The approx. cost for dinner is $35.00 and includes soup or salad, fresh sourdough rolls, sweet butter, and entree. Portions are very ample, you will find that splitting a desert may be the best option.
Quality is outstanding with emphasis placed on presentation. Staff attire is appropriate for theme.
Living in Anaheim and working far too many hours, vacations simply aren't something we're able to enjoy. A trip to the The Blue Bayou however affords us a lovely two hour vacation, escaping into the South for a dinner which cannot be surpassed. One distinct benefit, no mosquitoes!
Premium annual pass holders qualify for a discount.
For three adults, our average check totals approx. $115.00 Not too bad when you take into consideration the airfare to New Orleans!
