There is one counter service in Disneyland Park that is leaps and bounds above the rest. One that has some of the BEST food in the whole park for really good value. This honour belongs to Cowboy Cookout Barbecue.

There are many reasons why I have a soft spot for this place. Firstly, it's atmosphere is one of, if not the best counter service in Disneyland Paris. It's a good old fashioned western barn on the outside and the inside is adorned with wooden chairs and benches.

In addition, the restaurant offers a warm log fire in the winter months, perfect for warming up. Not to mention, the smell inside here is AMAZING! If you're lucky, you may also enjoy a complementary dinner show as a western inspired band often play a 15-30 minute performance for your entertainment.

Of course, whilst the atmosphere is it's own talking point, this blog is World Of Food, not world of ambience. Therefore, we need to discuss the more edible sections of this restaurant. Cowboy Cookout Barbecue specialises in good old smoky finger food. Expect the combo meals here to contain things like burgers, 1/2 smoked chicken, ribs and sausages. Sorry veggie/vegans, you can swap the meat combo for a veggie burger.

Now, I can proudly say, I am a meat lover. Whether it's steak, burgers, gammon or bacon, I'll scoff it all. This means that this place is pretty close to being heaven. The 1/2 smoked chicken combo is a family favourite and features the main protein (complete with a smothering of BBQ sauce), the choice of either salad or potato wedges (their wedges are very good here), a choice of cold beverage  and then either Greek yogurt or chocolate brownie for dessert. This particular combo is only 14 euro per person which given the tastiness of the food, is very good value for money. If chicken is not your thing, you can check out the other combo meals here, just remember Disney could change it at any time.

Overall Cowboy Cookout Barbecue is a fantastic counter service restaurant. It's in a good location, has really good food and is a very good value for money. It is currently my favourite place at Disneyland Park and for good reason. However if you are veggie/vegan, you may wish to look for somewhere else.

Final Score: 9/10

The Lucky Nugget Saloon

Fact-File Location: Disneyland Park/ Frontierland  Type of restaurant: Currently table service (I'll explain the currently in this review).  Cost: 23 euro for an adult combo meal, 13 euro for a children's meal and 8 euro for an afternoon treat. Option to reserve a table : No. Character Dining : Yes (signature experience only), Menus for anywhere change. This allows a fresh experience for the diners and thus allows more business for the restaurant. However, changing the type of restaurant you are is a completely different beast. During the last 5-10 years, The Lucky Nugget Saloon  has been a character dining buffet, a Tex-Mex buffet, a counter service eatery and now a table service restaurant that offers afternoon tea with the Disney characters.  This means that for the first time, I can't truly give you a 100% accurate review when it comes to the food because what I have personally experienced here, isn't recent enough to be justified with these new...
