Big Thunder Ranch BBQ
My family & I have having a small family reunion at Disneyland in April & my parents are wanting to treat us to the BBQ at Thunder Ranch, so I was just curious to c how it was? Is it expensive & worth the money? Is it buffet style or all u can eat? And will kids like it? I tried to find out more from Disney Dining itself, but all I kept getting was positive comments from them, which having worked at Disneyland myself back in the 90's they are trained to do..but I am wanting different opinions..so if anyone has been or eaten there & has some feedback, let me know..Thanks

I am so glad you asked this question.

All you can eat now, huh?
I remember when it was Esmeralda's BBQ when the Festival of Fools was there! It wasn't all you can eat then, but it sure was yummy! We ate there every day when we were on vacation in '96!

Back when it was the BBQ I LOVED the Cow-Poke BBQ sandwich. I haven't been there to eat since it opened because I think it's too expensive.
