Title: Good places to eat in anaheim
Post by: Yzrfan on January 13, 2013, 09:43:27 AM
At the request of others, here's the thread on good places to eat next to the Anaheim convention center (walking/ short taxi drive). Sounds like most will be staying close to the convention center/Disneyland. In downtime Disney you have the house of blues, espnzone, Catel, tortilla joes, Naples, jazz kitchen, and Earl of sandwich. In the garden walk, east of the con and about 5 minutes walking you have Cheesecake Factory, PF changs, McCormick Schmidt and bubba gump shrimp and some other places. South on harbor boulevard you have a red Robbin,  Joe's Crab Shack,Morton's, and other places. Ill post more places when I can remember or next time I'm up there taking the kids to Disneyland.

Roscoe's should be open by March. Harbor and Orangethorpe so about 1-2 lights down the street.

If you have a car, you're only a few lights away from K-Town and Little Saigon for some Asian food...

Thanks for putting together the list yrzfan! I know that was the complaint last year that there weren't as many food options in Anaheim.

Definitely check out Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles when it opens for some major southern food goodness. Their Mac and Cheese is to die for. Also Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney is worth checking out. It's the only one on the west coast and their sandwiches are world class. Other than that, the food places are pretty generic down here.

Of course you have the staple of fast food on harbor.

They are. When they are fresh they taste mmmmmmmm. Just don't think about how bad they are for you when your face is covered in powder sugar and your fingers are coated in grease.

My bad I forgot downtown Disney also has a rainforest cafe. The closest Starbucks to the con is going to be in hotel next to the con.

I really enjoy Napoles.  The restaurant is nice, and they have a next door carry-out place where you can get a panino or a slice on the go (for fairly inexpensive).  We go there often on our Disney trips (my family as Annual Passes so we come up from San Diego a few times a month).
There's also a great bakery at the end of Downtown Disney that is closest to the security checkpoint to get into the parks called La Brea Bakery.  They have good breakfast sandwiches & panini.  Another restaurant in Downtown Disney is the Rainforest Cafe: it's close to the far end of Downtown Disney, near the monorail.

There is a great restaurant inside the Disneyland Hotel called the 55 Steakhouse.  It's hardly ever crowded (right next to Goofy's Kitchen, a good character breakfast if you want to take the youngins and get the Disney experience) and has great food.  It's a little pricy, but it's yummy.

Here's the website for Downtown Disney dining: http://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/list/#/downtown-disney

In Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel, there's a restaurant called PCH Grill that has some good pizza.  They also have a character breakfast.

*edit*
sorry: I didn't see you added Rainforest Cafe later in the thread.

La brea just did a remodel. It's a nice small place to grab a bite. They make all their breads fresh. Napeols is kind of hit or miss on the service and quality of the food. Any of the restaurants in the Disney hotels will be great, but just remember it's Disney so you'll be paying a little extra. Each place is different you just need to pick what you want to eat. American, Mexican, Cajun, or Italian.

Jamba Juice. Rest assured the places have salads and diet-ish dishes.  I think if you stay away from the con hot dogs and nachos you should be good.

Those of you that will be traveling from out of town to WC post or message me what type of food you are looking for or things you want to do (nearest movie theater, other cool things to do besides disneyland, or shopping malls to send the half too while you attend the con).

If you have a car, there are a BUNCH of eateries one exit south of the Disney Drive exit, at The City Dr. There's a mall there, The Block at Orange. Last I was there, they had a Market Broiler, which had some great seafood; they've also got an El Torito, a Friday's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Johnny Rocket's (There's also one at the GardenWalk if you don't have a car).

And if you want to make a 15 min. drive, there's a place in Tustin, on Newport Ave (on the east side of the 5 freeway) called Wahoo's Fish Tacos. BEST FISH TACOS EVER!!!

How long ago have you been at the block? It's kind of a dump. You have the same stuff on harbor that you do at the block. Wahoo's are all over.
Title: Good places to eat in anaheim

The Block has really cleaned up over the past few years. It's one of the nicer outdoor shopping centers now-a-days. It's certainly more popular than GardenWalk.

Post by: Yzrfan on January 26, 2013, 05:16:52 PM
Ok when were you last there? Guess we've gone at different times. If people were coming from out of town I would suggest the spectrum over the block. It's much nicer and in a better area too.

I live in Tustin, I was actually at The Block, Downtown Disney, AND The Spectrum last week. I too prefer the spectrum over the block and Downtown Disney but the block certainly isn't a dump.

The Spectrum IS nicer, but you're looking at a half hour drive. I was never really impressed because it just seemed very shi-shi/upscale where the Real Housewives of Orange County would always hang out.

There are some nice eateries there, but it's a MUCH further drive than the Block.

And as for Wahoo's on Chapman, I didn't know about that one; I knew about the one near South Coast Plaza, the one at the Spectrum, the one on Main in Huntington Beach, and the one in Tustin. :-) I'll have to make a note of the Chapman one for the next time the wife and I go to Disneyland!

If you're gonna go out to there to eat, then Bruxie's is a nice option for waffle sandwiches. There's also Felix's for Cuban. It's probably a bit further out for the out of towners but if you have a car and want to get away from the crowds, it's a nice place to have a meal and then go for a walk. There's are a couple of bars (I'd probably recommend Haven Gastropub).

Oh and definitely for the out of towners, try and hit up some of the food trucks. Most are on Twitter and will be out late. The two that I like most are Dos Chinos and Bacon Mania.

Anaheim Hills. There are a few imitations out there now. No one close to as good.

Fun dinner option is to go a few miles down Garden Grove Blvd and check out some Korean BBQ all you can eat joints. There are a LOT of them but I'd probably recommend Cham Sut Gol or Go Go Ryeo. Best bet is to go with the brisket and the pork belly. If you want the traditional stuff, look for the kalbi beef (should be the marinated one) or the short ribs.

Post by: Briarbun on January 29, 2013, 11:18:35 AM
Don't know if anyone mentioned this but a great breakfast pick-me-up is Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen Express at Downtown Disney. The beignets are made fresh in the cafe and are absolutely to die for.

Title: Re: Good places to eat in anaheim

What you gotta do is grab a fork and a napkin when you a buy a bag. You hold the beignets with the fork while hovering over the napkin. I've got it down so I don't get messy at all, really.

Really? How did I ever miss that?!? I used to go hang out at the Circle during the summer, just to see the old cars that would cruise in the area. Maybe while I'm up there, I'll make a run that Fri. before Con opens...:) I wish I could remember the sushi restaurant that was there in the area - they served these things called "monkey balls", which were stuffed mushrooms rolled in tempura and then fried. They were GOOD!!!

Tomorrow I'll be going up to the convention center area.  I'll post a more detailed list of restaurants within walking distance of the hotels and convention center. What is one thing that's been missing from the earlier posts or you need more info on?
Title: Re: Good places to eat in anaheim
Post by: Yzrfan on February 19, 2013, 04:10:07 PM
I know the past couple days have been crazy with SDCC badges sale an the upcoming Hotel sales opening next Tuesday. Hopefully this post will help the out of towners for WC. Sorry, it took a while for me to post the info, but finally was able to replace my laptop, which died before Christmas. Here is the complete list of restaurants in the area of the Anaheim Convention Center. For the sake of this post let's say the Convention Center is at the Intersection of Katella Avenue and Harbor Boulevard. Katella runs West/East from Interstate 5 Freeway to South Walnut Street, and Harbor runs North/South from Interstate 5 to Chapman Avenue. With that said, here we go.
Harbor between Interstate 5 and Katella:/b] On he East side of the street you have a Mimi's Café, Millie's Family Restaurant, McDonalds, IHOP, Captain Kids Buffett, Tony Romas, 24 Hour Subway, and a pizza place. On the West side of the street you have Disneyland, ABC Market, and a 7-11.
Harbor between Katella and Chapman:On the East side of the street you have an IHOP, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Coco's and Denny's. On the West side of the street is Overland Stake House, Morton's, Ruth Chris, Carl's Jr, Buca Di Peppo, Joe's Crab Shack, Outback Steak House, and a Red Robin.

Katella between Interstate 5 and Harbor: On the North side of the street you have Bubba Gump Shrimp, Cheesecake Factory, McCormick Schmidt's, P. F. Changs, California Pizza Kitchen,  Roy's Hawaiian Fusion, and Del Taco. On the South side of the street you have no restaurants.
Katella between Harbor and Walnut:On the North side of the street you have Disneyland and no restaurants. On the South side of the street you have Jolly Roger's Café, Denny's, Coco's, Tiffy's Family Restaurant, Maria's Pizza and Italian, and Wonderland Market.

Downtown Disney: You have ESPN Zone, Earl of Sandwich, House of Blues, Catal Restaurant, La Brea Bakery and Café, Napples Risorante, Rainforest Café, Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, Tortilla Joe's, Haagen-Dazs, Jamba Juice, and Uva Bar.

Also for your last minute Cosplay needs and items left at home, you have a Target Store and Walgreen's Pharmacy at the intersection of Harbor and Chapman.

Been there many times before. Being  hungry at a con and you don't want to wait in line for a bad hamburger, broke ass nachos, and a $10.00 coke. Plus from my experience last year and at D23 the wait at the food court in the hotel was stupid.

Captain Kids Buffet


I would try to avoid this place if you can. This place is scary. First experience is that the price listed on the door does NOT include the beverage station - it's an additional $2 (or at least it was the one time I went). Also, the food quality is questionable. There were makings for tacos on the day i went, and it had been sitting there for a while, untouched by anyone. I also got fried chicken that was pink on the inside.

That said, I would recommend the Subway if you just want a cheap lunch - easy walk from the Convention Center, open 24 hours, and you can get a $5 footlong sandwich and bring it with you to Con. :)

I just remembered, there's a Carl's Jr. that's maybe a block and a half from the convention center itself, just south on Harbor Blvd., if you have a craving for a Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger. :)

No, it's farther up Beach Blvd., closer to the beach. It's in a small area with a vet, self car wash and another restaraunt. The parking opens up a little after the vet closes. The one in Anaheim Hills is closer to the convention center and has more parking though.

Those food trucks were pretty good. I got the Steak & Fries with chimichurri sauce from the Barcelona on the Go truck, and scarfed that stuff down. It was awesome.

Wife got a steak quesadilla with blue cheese and carmelized onions on it, and loved it.

Some friends of ours who went on Sat. & Sun. got some of the cream puffs, which they said were really good, but also REALLY messy - whipped cream was everywhere.

Thanks for the advice. I find it questionable too

The food trucks are usually a good pick.. the lines can get long though. But if you don't want to leave the area, it's very convenient.

The food court in the Hilton gets stupid. If they put the food trucks in the same area, then it's not too bad of an area for having room in line.

I'm fairly new to this forum and this will be my first con ever!   So excited.  I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with pizza delivery to the Hilton.  I have a few friends coming to hang out on Wednesday night and thought that would be easy.

There's really not that many good places to eat in Amaheim beside the norm of chain restaurants....the only thing I can think of is The Original Pancake House which is pretty far from the convention center. Gypsy Den and Healthy Junk are good too and they're not too far...from disneyland that is

I'd call and ask the Hilton front desk. They'll know which pizza places regularly deliver to the hotel.

If anyone has extra time and would like to get "away" I really recommend Trader Sam's at the Disneyland Hotel. It is wonderful. Themed to a tiki bar with great drinks and decent food. It's a real fun experience.

My Samwise and I ate at Tiffy's on the corner of Katella and West 2 years ago during Wondercon. We split one meal and one dessert, and had a nice time. Large portions, and leftovers. I am surprised at the bad reviews posted. I'd try it again but with a more critical eye.

WONDERCON 2017 TOUCAN TIP OF THE DAY! #25: The Food Trucks Are Back at WCA 2017!

http://comic-con.org/toucan/25-food-trucks-are-back-wca-2017

Yep … the million-dollar question has been answered: that glorious array of food trucks will once again be present on the Grand Plaza at WonderCon Anaheim, right outside of the Anaheim Convention Center! This year’s group includes 15-count ‘em!-15 great trucks!

Scheduled to appear this year (line-up is subject to change):

    Barcelona On the Go (Latin Bistro)
    Burger Monster (Gourmet Burgers & Sliders)
    Chunk & Chip (Craft Ice Cream Sammichs)
    Cool Crave (Italian Ice and Other Desserts)
    Devilicious (Gourmet Sandwiches)
    Falasophy (Falafel and Hummus Bar)
    Kala (Artful Mexican Cuisine)
    Meat Up BBQ (Smoked Comfort Food)
    My Delight Cupcakery (Cupcakes)
    Slummin’ Gourmet (Modern Bistro Fare for the Streets)
    Spudrunners (Fries, Baked Potatoes, and Grilled Cheese)
    Tasting Spoon (Gourmet Sandwiches)
    TJ’s Woodfire Pizza (Woodfire Pizza)
    Viking (Sausage, Corn Dogs, Hot Dogs)
    White Rabbit (Filipino Fusion)

Plus don’t forget the food vendors inside the Anaheim Convention Center, both in the Exhibit Hall and scattered throughout the lobbies on all 3 levels, and in the Arena!

In addition to the food in the Anaheim Convention Center and the food trucks outside during WonderCon, the show’s headquarters hotel, the Hilton Anaheim adjacent to the Convention Center, has a food court-which includes Sbarro, Baja Fresh Express, Just Grillin’, and Submarina-as well as a Starbucks, Mix Restaurant, and Mix Lounge. As the official headquarters hotel, the Hilton is also home to nighttime Games, Anime screenings, and the Hospitality Suite on Friday and Saturday nights. Stop in and enjoy the Games area on the second level in the Pacific CD Ballroom or relax with your friends at the Hospitality Suite on the fourth level, in the Avila and San Simeon rooms. Look for nighttime Anime screenings on Friday and Saturday, also on the fourth level in the El Capitan rooms. Please wear your WonderCon Anaheim badge for entry.

Also adjacent to the Anaheim Convention Center is the Anaheim Marriott. This hotel features the nFuse restaurant, bar, and lounge, a Pizza Hut, and a Starbucks.

Next to the Disney theme parks is the Downtown Disney area. This group of shops, restaurants, and a multiplex movie theater is open to the public without a theme park admission (although you’ll have to pay for parking). There are numerous options for quick snacks and beverages, or enjoy fine dining in one of their many restaurants. Downtown Disney also includes a huge World of Disney store, stocked with a wide selection of Disney souvenirs and memorabilia, as well as other shopping options.

Right down the street from the Convention Center is The Shops at Anaheim GardenWalk, which features Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., California Pizza Kitchen, Cheesecake Factory, Fire + Ice Grill and Bar, Grasslands Meat Market, House of Blues Anaheim, Johnny Rockets, Kip Barry’s Cabaret, McCormick & Schmick’s Grille, McFadden’s Restaurant & Saloon, P. F. Chang’s, Roy’s, and Sockerbit Sweet & Swedish, plus numerous shops and a multiplex theater.

The area around the Convention Center-Katella Ave., West St., Harbor Blvd., and Orangewood Ave.-also features numerous restaurants and shops.

Read through this whole thread.. Whew! Thanks for the info, people!

First-time WonderCon attendee from out of town. Looks like most places discussed are $10+ meals, except for Subway (I think this is the closest one: 1770 S Harbor Blvd #136, Anaheim, CA 92802).

Any cheap taco shops within walking range? I'm hoping to spend less on food than on geeky goods. ;-)

There isn't much cheap by WonderCon b/c it's right next to Disneyland, aka tourist trap and higher than normal prices. There is a pupusa shop down Katella aways near the freeway that I have passed for years and swear next time I'm at Disney I will eat there, but I always end up so tired I just want to go home and never have stopped. Who knows, I might get adventurous and walk down there during WC, but highly unlikely ahahah

Your best bet for tacos will be right out front if there are food trucks.  Unfortunately, everything within a few minute walk around the convention center will be overpriced.  I think there's a Baja Fresh in the Hilton which will most likely not be the best quality and overpriced--but may be worth not having to walk all over the place. If you are looking for dirt cheap street tacos (probably like $1.25 each), you'll need to walk a looong block or two (~.5 to 1 mile) south of the convention center down Harbor or West st towards Chapman.  There will be a ton of hole-in-the-wall Mexican places that way on major corners.  Highly recommend tamping down the tourist-y look and walking in a group if going at night. And may not be the cleanest spots.

A couple of other options:

Go with a service like doordash.com and order from farther away restaurants that'll deliver.  Get together with 3 or 4 other people to split the extra cost of the deliver fee across multiple people.  Honestly you'll probably pay the same amount as you would for the overpriced stuff right around the convention center but the food will be better.  I know for me at the end of a long con day, the idea of walking an extra mile or two to find a place to eat is almost unbearable.  I haven't stayed at one of the Anaheim convention center hotels because I live nearby, but you could ask the front desk when you check in or call them right now to see how people get food delivered.  You probably just need to meet the person in the valet area, but the hotel might let the person just park for a few minutes and they could deliver it straight to a room.

Split the cost of an uber/lyft with a couple of other people and go eat where you want.  There are a bunch of pick up/drop off areas in the valets of the hotels near the convention center.  There is so much amazing, super cheap food within a 15 minute drive of Disneyland once you get out of the tourist trap.

There's Alerto's (though it looks like they recently changed their name to Sabrosada) at 1770 S Harbor and it's not very expensive.

Aside from Alerto's, Tanor Mediterranean (in the same plaza), and Roscoe's, I find the restaurants in the vicinity too overwhelmingly Americana diner-ish. I suppose that makes sense given its proximity to Disneyland. The food trucks will probably be much better options.

Thanks, hikanteki!

If I don't succumb to the temptation of the Food Trucks (convenience is usually pricy), my plan for cheap eats: Subway (1677 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92802) and Sabrosada, right next to each other.

I only want Krispy Kremes if they are HOT. It's amazing how fast I can inhale a half dozen of those hot, fresh glazed donuts!

Fire+Ice is such a great place, highly recommended

The place has a salad bar, vegetable bar, meat, sea food and pasta/noodles, everything divided in sections as the food is raw.  You choose your food, vegetables and condiments, place everything in a bowl and take to the chef who then cooks right before your eyes. It's like a make your own dish buffet

It was my first WonderCon too, and I also had Mastiff's veggie sausage sandwich -I agree, it was good!  And it was easy to take it with me into the Arena, Saturday morning, and eat it there.   At the SDCC, I pretty much survive on just nutrition bars and trail mix during days of panels.

Hi guys! Stop by the Artist Row food hall at the Gardenwalk right down the street from the convention center for some good food! Located on the 4th Floor across from House of Blues, next to Fire and Ice.

Our food hall includes: Wagyu smash burgers, Hawaiian BBQ, banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches), cereal-infused ice cream, and hand-tossed Neapolitan pizza.

While you wait for your food you can enjoy our Alice in Wonderland activation gallery room, and shop with our vendors! There will also be a DJ playing as well on Saturday.

Hope to see you guys there! Find me in the gallery room for a 10% off coupon for our kitchens!

I never know if the pizza at the corner strip mall near the convention center is actually good, or if I just like it at the end of a long day...

It's always nice when there are good food trucks, but it seems so inconsistent from year to year what's there.

That pizza is good enough for me to cross an extra street and pass the blaze haha. 

Lunch trucks are hit and miss.  What is consistent about them is the location and the price.

Looks like that one's in the same vicinity as Unsung, Monkish, and the also new Asylum brewing. Nice. That'll be a good area to spend one of my evenings, maybe two.
