Annette's Diner - reviews

[A Small World]

Had yet another lovely meal here in July on our first day about 2.00.
I usually have the Rock and Roll burger but this time fancied something different so I had the Chilli dog with fries. It was lovely and the chilli was delicious.
DH had a mega burger with fries
DD had the childrens nuggets served on a frisbee.
We all had soft drinks.
We usually have the cafe gourmand as dessert - a coffee with a mini donut, 2mini brownies and a mini vanilla milkshake however this time we chose not to have dessert as we were really tired and needed a rest and the service was quite slow.

Sorry we didnt take photos however this restaurant has become a favourite with us and a bit of a tradition that we eat here on our first day

No the mega burger isnt the biggest its just slightly bigger than the normal one. Is the biggest one the ultimate? or something like that.

 

[Rachie B]

ah so i was correct with my first try

couldnt remember lol

they loved it though, but thought it would be bigger thought it wasnt much of a challenge ! lmao

We ate here last Tuesday 19 August. We left the Studios about 6.30 so got in here before any rush started and were seated straight away.

Dtr ate from the 12.50 Euros children's menu - she had the four cheese tortellini which she said was delicious, although it wasn't quite enough for a nearly-11 year old, so she had to help me with my chips.

Husband and I both had the Be-bop burger which is an already yummy burger made better by adding sauteed mushrooms.

Son had the Incredible Burger

The challenge is that if you eat it all you can have a free milkshake, so he was determined to do it. He ate every little scrap, including all the salad so he chose a strawberry and banana milkshake as his prize. The rest of us had vanilla and caramel shakes which were gorgeous.

About half of the waiting staff were on skates this night and they stopped at about 7.15 for a dance as Greased Lightning was played.

The total bill was 85.65 Euros before shareholders' discount.

Forgot to put this on - it is the cheese tortellini that dtr had. As I said, she enjoyed it but it didn't fill her up.

While I would like to think this restaurant was named after myself, that is probably not really the case, so I have often wondered where they got the name from (and assumed maybe it was related to the same reference made to 'Annette' in Grease).

Then today I discovered Annette Funicello, who apparently was a Mouseketeer, appearing in a fifties show called "Mickey Mouse Club" (before my time).

Does anyone know if this is the person they named the restaurant after?

I really love this restaurant! I went there last time, on 20th August. It was faboulous and our waiter was very kind! We had a discount of 20% with the discount card!
Vibe and decoration: 10/10 (Sorry but I love the Amrican 50's style! )
Food: 9/10 (Lots of choices of burgers, etc! And really good!)
Service: 8/10 (Quick, kind and helpful)
Prices: 8/10 (right prices for good food and burger)
General appreciation: 9/10 (So great!!! I'm lovin' it! )

Decoration

I took the French Mountain Burger (really good but I'd like to have more fries!) with a botle of San Pelligrino. And the pancake burger: 2pancakes, ice cream, 'chantilly', hot chocolate, nutter...so delicious and huge!

I have a problem with Image Shack, I'll post my picture later!

It is the very reason! Annette and the MMC were huge just before the original Disneyland opened in the 50s. This restaurant is dedicated to the memory of the times when DL opened and the MMC was popular!

Still the French burger (with reblochon and potatoes)

Pancake burger (Mmmmh, I want to eat it now ^^)

My mum took the soup of the day (broccoli cream with cheese, bread and grilled bread). She said it was very good.

We ate here on the first night of our recent DLRP trip....

As we arrived we were shown to our table, passing some roller skating waiters en route.... The restuarant was also in full swing of 'Grease' and 'Freedom'....

Robert ordered the double rockabilly burger:

He really enjoyed this and says it was really filling....

I went for the Eurochick burger, which I really enjoyed. I ate all of it!! A first for me at DLRP!

I also had a lemon coke to drink, which came in an Annettes glass (As do they all, but I wanted a reason to show the pic!):

For dessert we both had milkshakes... Robert ordered chocolate, and I ordered Vanilla (Mine was best so it gets to have its photo on the DIS!!):

Total bill was 53.10 Euro, I think. I shall check my reciept later....

We really like Annettes and think the food is yummy, and the atmosphere is great!! We weren't rushed out either, despite the fact we left after closing time....

We had intended to have our takeaway one night on our recent trip, but we decided to eat in instead....

Robert opted for the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich:

While I went for the Burritos... I must say the portion size has gone down a lot since I had them last and I was slightly hungry when I'd finished:

We got yet another performance of Grease and Freedom too!!

For Dessert Robert had the Happy Days Brownie Sundae:

While I stuck with my fave!

Total bill was 61.40Euro...

Another thing worth mentioning for any veggies on here....

Annettes look to have added the Green Piece burger to their sit in menu, although it is now billed as a hash brown with veggies. They have also started doing a gorgeous looking three cheese salad- Which looks big enough to feed a small country! Looks very good though!

Thats what my gf had when we were there, basically a hash brown burger but she said it was very nice and had no complaints at all . She finished the lot and said it was very filling.

We went there for the first night and were glad we got the dance to fame too, i can't believe how quick the rollerskaters get up and down those stairs!!!

Our favourate table service restuarant...not just in DLRP but ever!!

We ate there twice this holiday. Both times we had the Annettes set menu for 19.90 per person which came with a choice of burger, choice of soft drink and either a brownie or a coffee as pudding.

Both times I had the Bee Bop burger and Ellie had the Rock and Roll burger. Kacee ate from our plates on his plate that we brough with us

Thoroughly enjoyed it both times however the lack of dancing on the tables slightly disspointed us both.

The waiters in here were very good however on both occasions they forgot our discount and so had to get a manager to change the bill which took forever. Both times it was rather busy however we were seated with no queue, once at 6pm and once at 7.15pm.

My friend and I dined in here on Sat 4th Oct and have to say it was okay, not as good as the last time we ate.

The milkshakes were to die for, very yummy but thats where it ended.

My mate had the Euro Chick Burger which she said was very dry and she left some and I had the French Burger which was lukewarm. Also the portion sizes had got alot smaller from last time as well.

Not the best experience but we did get to enjoy Grease and Freedom

Updated menu - kindly sent to me by steve_rob

 

[cap'njack.]

We ate here on Staurday 13th December at 6pm.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE this restuarant...for the first time ever I came away a little dissapointed. We got to the restuarant at 6pm, the park didn't close until 10pm and we were only the second family in the queue and the restuarant was about 2/3 empty...however it still took 10 minutes to seat us and then the sat the 6 of us on a table for 4.

Food was the usual good standard however everytime we go the portions seem to decrease and have done so again since October. They have also brought in a new menu since October and taken our favorate Cheesy Motzarella Sticks off the menu

Service was poor even by DLRP standards. There was no music playing, no dancing and no roller skating servers.

In all honesty if this had been our first visit, it would also have been our last. This was a number of things that have slipped recently in DLRP and I'm only taking about since October this year!! I'm hoping that this was just a temporary Christmas blip and that normal service will resume shortly
