Jazz Kitchen Disneyland Menu
I’ve dined at Jazz Kitchen numerous times for lunch and dinner, and of course dessert at Jazz Kitchen Patio for their famous beignets.
Jazz Kitchen is open for lunch, dinner and Jazz Kitchen Patio serves breakfast as well. See Jazz Kitchen’s full menu here.
Over the years our family has samples an assortment of Jazz Kitchen food. The menu here is super diverse, so even if you’re not into gumbo or jambalaya, you’ll still find something to enjoy.
Note that menu offerings do change, but there’s always something delicious to try. We started our visit with garlic cheese bread and coconut crusted shrimp. We even got our non-adventurous little eaters to try the shrimp!
I have dined here in the past during a marketing meeting with The Anaheim Hotel (if you haven’t checked out their rooms, see my tour here) for lunch. I ordered Greek Goddess Salad pictured below.
Salads are a great choice for a lighter fare at Disneyland. It comes with crispy romaine lettuce, applewood smoked bacon, Granny Smith apples, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, toasted pumpkin seeds and green goddess dressing (add chicken or shrimp if desired).
Also served during our lunch is a seasonal crispy chicken wrap paired with Cajun fries that are irresistible! I may have taken one or two from my colleagues plate when he wasn’t looking.
You’ll also have the chance to experience authentic Jambalaya just the way they make it on the Gulf Coast. Pasta jambalaya is full of shrimp, andouille sausage, roasted chicken, Creole seasoning, accompanied by spinach fettuccine. It was spicy and delicious!
Next up for dinner is the black and blue steak. I am not a steak eater, but even I wished I ordered this!
My husband got this and I stole a bite or two. Delicious! Our waiter said it was his favorite entree and you better believe I am ordering this (and keeping it all to myself) next time I go.
Brining little ones with you to Jazz Kitchen for lunch or dinner? There’s plenty to try from the kids menu at Jazz Kitchen. Kids will like the classic staples like chicken tenders grilled cheese, cheeseburgers and more.

Jazz Kitchen Downtown Disney Drinks & Desserts
Downtown Disney’s Jazz kitchen has a full bar and drink menu. They even have non-alcoholic and specialty drinks for kids and adults like me :).
My kids enjoyed Shirley Temples and Bubble Gum soda. I pretty much always order a virgin mojito if it’s on the menu.
New in 2020, secret menu alert! I was one a few guests who were the first people to try this new secret menu item: bananas foster beignets. The name speaks for itself, but the picture speaks even louder.
Not just beignets, I mean of course you want to order some but will get to that later. We order double chocolate bread pudding which takes about 30 minutes prepare so be sure to tell your server before you’re ready to have it delivered to table. And case you don’t, it’s worth waiting for.
I also couldn’t resist ordering peach cobbler and it was a dream! I’d order this again in a hot second.
Now that your stomach is growling and your mouth is watering, make your reservations and then try out some of these Jazz Kitchen recipes at home in the mean time. And keep reading for more Jazz Kitchen food and time saving tips.
