    The beer is great. Be aware you will do the ordering yourself from QR code and tip is requested before your service. We did not know the name of anyone "helping" us no personal interaction just drop your food and run. The nachos are glorifed gaa station nachos not worth $18. We left a lot of the chips behind when there was no toppings left (it was virtually all chips and salty from bottom of bag crumbs) come for the beer but not mich else. I would have given higher rating if even one person introduced themselves or even asked how our food was.

    Crafty fare and cold drinks served up a walking distance from the happiest place on earth. We knew what we were getting into. We knew that even Downtown Disney equals overpriced food. After walking 15,000 steps in 5 hours we were exhausted and sweaty and looking for a cold drink, cool table and good food. We waited like 5 minutes for a table, while the burger place next door had a huge line outside, and we're taken upstairs to the main floor littered with taps and modern decor. The place looks cool and the menu isn't bad either. Typical craft brewery food makes up the majority of the menu and I settled on the poutine while my wife tried the carne asada fries. The beer speaks for itself, if your here because you are fan of Ballast Point then you know how good the beer is. While having the favorites, they also offer some hard seltzers and ciders to go with the vast list of IPA's. The ordering process is all done via smart phone and then the food just arrives. We didn't have to wait long for food either as it was ready in about 10 minutes. My wife's carne asada fries were good, but nothing that you couldn't recreate pretty accurately at home. The poutine was on a whole different level though. Whatever kind of spiral potatoes and sauce, not to mention the braised beef in what tasted like a wine sauce, was impeccable. It really was something that made you close your eyes after biting. Not sure if they just hit a home run on that one dish or if we just got lucky, but the rest of the meal was just alright. Maybe the fact that there wasn't a real line outside tells the story. Either way, prices aside, the food we had was good and sometimes great. Staff was nice and attentive and the place was clean and cool. When you've been dragging two kiddos around Disneyland all day, sometimes all you need is a cold beer and some braised beef and potatoes to remind you that you are at the happiest place on earth.

    The food was okay. On the menu it says shrimp Cajon pasta. That’s what I ordered because I’m a pescatarian and only eat seafood. What I received was a pasta with sausage (an ingredient that was not listed on the menu description) and shrimp. The bar back Richie was so nice. He let the manager know the mistake they had on their menu and are promptly re-printing them. I ordered something else but by the time I got there I was already full. I heard the wings and beer were very tasty there. The staff was extremely friendly I must say and of course it was clean, it’s Disney. Bijon, seemed to have his hands full that night with regulars that left a tips if you know what I mean. When I was able to talk to him he was very focused on what I was saying and getting my order put in correctly and promptly.

    Immediate, shaded, patio seating at 12:30. Ordered via QR code, but there were plenty of helpful staff to answer questions and bring samples. On a whim, I tried the Newtopia Cyder Bludacris and it was outstanding. Pretzel bites with the beer cheese were also great. Husband enjoyed his smash burger with parmesan garlic fries. Would definitely return.

    The frys and wings were awesome. Slight crispness on the wing skin. The frys were nice and flaky. Very good. The Chilli dog LOOKED good but.... The hot dog itself had O.K. flavor but was so very soft. I felt like I was eating a out of the can Vienna Sausage. I really wanted to like it due to the presentation. The chili on the hot dog tasted slightly bitter like it was repeated or refried several times. The beers were good. Everything at the eatery is order on your phone and has a great interface to combine tab from your table with others. This is probably the future. I ordered my been on my phone and it came out promptly without having to wave down a server.

    Loved our experience on the outdoor patio at Ballast Point. Lovely views of Disney Springs, fun music, and atmosphere make this a great family spot for a quick bite. It was not too hot to sit outside although most people were inside. Order from the QR code and they bring dinner and food to your table. We really enjoyed the nachos and fries.They also have a great kids menu - the kids burger comes with a rice Kristy treat. The salt and lime brew on tap was really refreshing. A great casual option in Disney Springs.

    We went to Ballast Point after a long day of Disney. It's no more than a five-minute walk from the park. To nobody's surprise, they have an extensive list of beer to choose from. We order the Salt and Blonde Lime Ale and California Kolsch. You can really taste the salt and lime in the ale. It was tasty but the flavors were almost overpowering by the final sip. The California Kolsch was very good. Food was about what you would expect at a brewery. It was nothing special. We had the al pastor nachos which had a nice sauce. The island crunch salad was okay. It could have had more flavor. The crispy buffalo chicken sandwich was all right as well. Pricing is similar to what you would find inside Disney. We spent $150 for four people (one child). Overall, I think we were most grateful for a quieter place to sit and enjoy a beer.

    All Disney reviews are based on Disneyland food “scale”: our party enjoyed the variety and quality of food, it came out in reasonable time and we had windows onto downtown.

    I had the hamburger and small salad. My wife had the salad, it had good house dressing. All was great!

    Check-in with the host downstairs, then head on upstairs to dine. We sat at the huge bar, which wasn't busy on a Monday afternoon. We had the All-American burgers, which came medium-well (we forgot to ask for medium), but they were still delicious! We couldn't finish the generous servings of homemade crispy fries they came with. They have a large craft beer menu. The beer we tried was good!Great views of Downtown Disney from the panoramic windows. Nice, nautical-themed restaurant for a burger and a beer. They have a small gift shop, too.

    The food was fantastic and the service was amazing . They had a good variety of foods to choose from and both the quality and quantity was wonderful. The taste of the majority of the foods we tried were a bit extreme. With the Chicken sandwich being a bit too salty and the mushroom sandwich being very sweet, but I don't consider this a bad thing just a personal preference thing. Despite that the watermelon salad and poke bowl was extremely enjoyed by our the majority of our party. This is definitely a place we will go back to when we revisit Disneyland great job.

    I always pass by when strolling through Downtown Disney, so I tried it. The first thing they recommended was the balcony seating, which they assured me was a great experience. As soon as I walk into the balcony, everything is mostly taken. There are some tables with no chairs as well. Waited 5 min for a table to clear. I was instructed all the ordering is done via QR code, but the waiter brought water over. I ordered a Burger and the lemon pepper wings along with the mango margarita. The food arrived together, so there were no complaints there. The burger tasted like a rally burger ($5) for 20 dollars. I feel they are severely overpriced for something that is not very good. The wings were also very dry and very tangy. It felt like I was sucking on a lemon. The margarita was great, but overall the whole experience was not what I expected. It at the end a burger, wings and margarita ended up coming out to $80. I will definitely not be returning here.

    Outdoor experience is cool. Food is good, but the portions are a little small for the price. For a buffalo chicken sandwich, diet coke, and Fish Tacos will run you $56 to give a rough estimate. A little too steep in my opinion. Service is mediocre at best. Staff is very friendly but they hardly come around to either refill drinks or ask how your food is. Honestly I would skip this place and eat outside of the Disney parks period if you can. Maybe I will give another try someday but as of now it's a no for me.

  • 4/5 Michael G. 5 months ago on Google
    Our first time visiting we opted to sit outside in the patio area. The service is somewhat awkward as patrons don't have a designated server. The menu is offered via QR code and the food and drinks are ordered online. The food tasted great, but it was somewhat difficult to get extra napkins and refills on drinks. The staff is great overall and Disney pass holders receive a discount.

    I came here after I saw a few reviews that mentioned they had vegan empanadas. I believe they were removed from the menu, as the only vegan options were the cauliflower tacos and the mushroom sandwich (besides the pretzels and salads). They were out of the mushroom sandwich, so I tried to order the tacos without the soyrizo but was told it was not possible to remove it. I ordered the kale salad instead (which is marked as vegan in the menu although it lists feta cheese as one of the ingredients, so be sure to order it without feta if you’re vegan) and it tasted good, but was too simple for the $21 it costed. I get that food in the Disneyland area is more expensive, but that was only $2 cheaper than my husband’s burger with fries. The service was good, the food was served quickly and the outdoor area was fun and nice, but I wouldn’t come back to this place based on my overall experience.

  • 4/5 William C. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice place with awesome beers and ciders. The food is pretty good: fish and chips, fish tacos, special salad, and flat breads. The portions are very decent for the prices. The service was great!

  • 3/5 Shaun O. 1 year ago on Google
    We sat at the bar, and service was solid. The food was quick, the flavors were solid. My Kale salad was quite small for 21$, but not unreasonably so all things considered. My man complaint was how shabby the place was. The TP dispenser was not only tagged but broken open. The barstools all worn threadbare in places. Kinda tough to be magical when basic maintenance isn’t being performed.

    Pretty legit, and the upstairs dining room is a awesome refuge from the sh!t show going on down below. Food is pretty standard brewery stuff. Service was surprisingly good considering the employees looked swamped. Swag shop has some solid gear to go along with dat $14.99 grapefruit sculpin 6 pack.

    Great place for a quick bit and drinks. I've always loved this place. We had the Ahi tuna poke and it was great. My husband I shared the B&P burger with a side of garlic fries and both had great flavor. We were worried the burger might lack flavor since we got it lettuce wrapped but the burger was well seasoned and had great flavor! They also have gluten free seltzer which I was happy about! I'm always looking for gluten free options. We ate upstairs near the bar and used the QR scan code to order our food, drinks & close out our bill. But we weren't left unattended, employee checked in us to make sure we had everything we needed! The service was great 👍. If you are a magic key holder, don't forget to ask for your magic key discount!

    Good beer and food. Quick place to eat. Order through QR code on your table. Unfortunately, you never see a server for drink refills or to check in how your food is. Food was good but not great. Especially when it's $22+ a plate. Beer is good. Staff greeting and seating people were fantastic. Seating on balcony and 2nd floor. There is an elevator and stairs.

  • 4/5 PCC&C R. 10 months ago on Google
    Awesome place located in Downtown Disney. I REALLY enjoyed the fish tacos and would get them again. The only reason I give four stars is because the service was not the best. The waiter barely ever checked on our drinks and was just not very present at all during our visit. Other then that it was great.

  • 4/5 Nelson R. 1 year ago on Google
    First, try to reserve on weekends or you can seat outside or in the bar really quick. Barcode system design, so interaction with server is minimum and you have to order and make sure you split your order or the first one will end up paying all. You will need to add a card before ordering and they take Apple Pay. food is good, but some dishes seem to be more crafted than others, so read the others reviews to check which are the best ranked dishes. It’s a fast paste restaurant with a simple but decent menu. The atmosphere is top and the food is 4 stars. The price is actually good for the place. Would def recommend this restaurant to friend, family or anybody visiting Anaheim.

    Had lunch here while visiting Disneyland. There wasn't much of a wait with getting a table - we were notified via SMS when it was ready which was about 15 minutes. We ordered ciders for drinks which were great. I had the shrimp aguachile which I didn't really like. It was too sour and bitter with the lime and there was nothing to bridge it with the nacho. It was a shame because the concept was there, but the flavour wasn't blending for me. The BP smash burger on the other hand was very good, tasty and big serving portion. Staff were friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was unique and spaceous.

    Great place to get away from the parks. Sat at the bar. Great service. Beer is always top notch and the food was filling. I did also order the whipped goat cheese but the photo was blurry in my haste to eat it. Not all beers are available for taster flight but those are noted on the menu.

  • 5/5 J M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice servers and so friendly. Food was so savory with lots of flavor. Short Ribs Poutine had beef that was tender and beefy. Nice seasonings with crispy fries. Habanero Mango wings were hot, spicy and sweet. Succulent chicken pieces have a great way of bringing on the heat! Drinks are great on the hot day we had! TIP: Don’t forget to ask for Magic Key discount before you finish paying!!
