At Rancho Del Zocala I believe they offer a kids cheese burrito meal and I believe a taco plate but I'm not sure about that. At Redd Rockets you get get spaghetti and cheese ravioli. There is a lot of variety you just have to look for things. Try this site: http://www.mouseplanet.com/drr/ some of the menus and prices are a little out of date but it will give you a good idea.

And with Matt stating that he wanted to make BB THE premier Restaurant, certainly the type and availability of alcoholic beverages, would certainly have a direct effect on it's rating.

I got really excited when I saw "chicken caesar" at Cafe Orleans because their cajun chicken caesar salad was one of my all-time favorite dishes at Disneyland, but then I noticed it wasn't the same. I might try it for the heck of it anyway. I'll probably have the gumbo crepes. I'm not a crepe fan, but I love gumbo, so that should be interesting. Mac and cheese, but only on the kid's menu. *sigh* /cs
Originally Posted By DlandJB I can now vouch for the chicken gumbo crepes, I had them last night and they were terrific! They are "New Orleans spicy" (for me, that is about as spicy as I can handle) but the spiciness doesn't mask the flavors -- just great. We also had the 3 cheese Monte Cristo, which my DS declared "Awesome" (and I agree) and we had the pomme frites which were also "awesome" He especially loved the sauce that comes with the fries and we ended up asking for more of that. As long as you are indulging in such foods, you might as well go all the way...meaning we also shared orders of the benigets and Chocolate crepes. I can't eat chocolate, except tiny bites, so I don't think I got the whole experience there, but it seemed good. The Mickey benigets were terrific -- better than some I have had in New Orleans. It was near the end of the day for the restaurant (they close early because of Fantasmic) but the service was gracious and never rushed. Highly worth the price. Calorie-wise, I can't eat like that every time, but if you are going to indulge, these would be the best accumulated calories in the park.
