1. Basil's Restaurant & Bar

An American Restaurant with contemporary atmosphere.
Reviewed By Sean S - Victoria, Canada
Me and my girlfriend stayed in Marriott suites for 4 nights. We went to Basil restaurant in the hotel and had tremendous difficulty getting a server to attend to us. My girlfriend had made eye contact with the server but that didn’t work. She had to get up and talk to him to actually get him to give us menus. Finally when he decided to come by he threw the menus down and walked away. He was unable to answer questions we had and generally seemed disinterested and seriously inconvenienced with us being there. We waited for about 10-15 minutes more before we decided to get up and leave. He didn’t notice because he was busy on his cellphone behind the bar facing away from the sitting area. This is despicable service, nothing more needs to be said.

We were fortunate to know someone who entertained us at Club 33! WOW! From the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out, you are treated like royalty. The food is served as a 5 course menu. We opted for the wine pairings with our meal. Not only was the food wonderful, the wine was spectacular - like nothing you can imagine. Matt was our server - THE BEST!Truly an experience! Grateful to Angela.

This is a great option. All menu items are pictured on the wall. Lots of standard fare with options. It will probably be crowded at lunch and in evening. We had multiple dishes from nachos to enchiladas to a Molcajete overflowing with meat, vegetables, cheese and avocados. Ate here three times and took food home for later every time.

We ended up here a few times because we were staying across the street for a conference. For us fast and decently priced food was important. We were impressed with how quickly our orders were delivered. The 'hold this / add that' changes were right and the refills on sodas and waters were timely.
Would certainly visit again. Enjoy .......

Few things in life are better than a Disneyland corn dog and if you're in Anaheim, you need to go to the original source: the Little Red Wagon on Main Street (next to the Plaza Inn). There's a perpetual line a dozen tourists deep (when it's close to time for the parades or fireworks, expect twice as many hungry folks in line). Any wait is worth it, as these are the most delicious corn dogs on the planet.
I don't know what Disneyland does to make them so amazing, but they're truly one of a kind here (the ones at Disney World in Florida don't come close, and neither do any of the other corn dogs in Disneyland Park or California Adventure). Park aficionados like me will tell you the same thing: the corn dogs from the Red Wagon are the best in the world. They are hand dipped in slightly sweet corn batter that's a treat in itself.
Prices have continued to skyrocket over the years and it's far from a bargain (about $10 for one corn dog and a small bag of chips), but the corn dogs are large (I'm a big eater but I can't even finish one by myself) so you can order one to share. I don't eat them often but I try to treat myself to one every year or so, grabbing some mustard and a nearby bench and going to town.
6. Sabroso! Mexican Grill

Oh my! So delicious!!! If Sabroso was good enough for Guy Fieri, then it’s good enough for me. This is some of the most authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had!
All too often, highly-rated restaurants of all varieties will disappoint, due in part to unfairly high expectations. But this is not that restaurant! Despite my lofty impressions formed after a perusal of many reviews, Sabroso managed to live up to the hype! From their impeccable sauces and tender meats to their commitment to authenticity and perfectly-crafted flavors, Sabroso delivers on every level. And the wait staff is incredibly friendly and happy to answer any questions, making us feel right at home.
Tip #1: Get the tamale appetizer!!! I love the perfect tamale, and this appetizer provides the most massive tamale I’ve ever seen! The expertly-crafted corn exterior is of utmost quality and the red sauce is a perfect complement!
Tip #2: Get an extra side of the corn tortillas and take them home! These are the best corn tortillas I’ve ever eaten and they come with every meal!!! But once you’ve cleaned out the basket of six tortillas, running them through whichever heavenly sauce was left on your plate, you’ll want some souvenirs to eat later!
The Chile Verde was very good, offering tender medallions of roast beef in a spectacular green sauce. Typically, Mexican cuisine is accompanied by stale rice and mediocre beans. But here, we were treated to very fresh rice and the delightfully silky peruano beans! Wow!
I’m more of a thin and crispy chip lover, so I’m not a big fan of the thicker chips here, but the fabulous salsas make up for it. But quite honestly, the menu is phenomenal from top to bottom, a gem in the middle of Garden Grove!
7. Joe's Crab Shack

Reviewed By gwalters66 - Portlland, OR
For the most part this place is as advertised. They have a good staff. We interacted with servers and a bartender. Our food was good for the most part. Kids had kid meals (mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, and popcorn shrimp-which was the best of the 3). Our ONLY issue came with the shrimp tacos. For a seafood restaurant they DID NOT CLEAN THE SHRIMP IN THE SHRIMP TACOS! All of the other shrimp we had was very good but not taking the time to clean the shrimp for the shrimp tacos put a damper on the meal. If you go and want the shrimp tacos please ask if they clean them prior to ordering. Our family loves seafood and for a place as good as this to not take the time to clean the shrimp for the shrimp tacos is disappointing.

We were impressed with this place when we visited their original location two years ago - boy did they expand! They now have a large location which is still a close walk from Disneyland. The service and product is excellent and the price is really competitive. We ate here twice during our 8 night stay and would highly recommend it!

Reviewed By 998chadj - St Albert
We've been here a few times now but this is the first time reviewing it for myself. Each time we've come we've had great service and the food has been very good. I do find it a little bit on the pricier side for going out for an evening with 4 people (2 of them being small kids) but when you consider the location (Disney area) the food (excellent) it is a worthwhile treat. My wife and I generally split a pizza and a small chop salad. The portions are so that we're actually fairly full just after the salad (An amazing must try item!) but who can say no to a pizza? Basically we end up having too much! I think a small salad and a pizza between 4 adults would probably suffice and decrease the cost a bit as well which would help. We will continue to go there whenever we're in the area as it is at the end of the day as it is worth it. I think it can get quite busy but whenever we've gone around 5pm or so we haven't waited.
