Hungry Bear

OK, first food review! I'm going to start of with one of my favorite counter service locations: Hungry Bear!

It is a very cute and rustic counter service restaurant located in the Critter Country area of Disneyland park. It has ample seating on two levels, all outdoor, with great views of the Rivers of America.

 Here's a link to the menu.

In my opinion, the things to get here are the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich or the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. They always get the best feed back, supposedly, the burgers are just OK. We sampled the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries:

We are both big fans of sweet potato fries, and these are good ones! Crispy enough and not too browned. The chicken was cooked nicely. The honey mustard sauce was very flavorful, and the multi-grain bun (or whatever it's called) was really soft and fresh. It seems like a normal fried chicken sandwich, but I swear it tasted better! I'd rate this a 5/5 on the counter service scale and will go back to Hungry Bear just to order this.

We also sampled the Turkey & Provolone Sandwich with sweet potato fries:

It's pictured with half of the sandwich and slaw, which we didn't try. It has basil mayonnaise, but it just wasn't that flavorful. Just a good quality deli meat and cheese and some mayo, really. I'd rate it a 3/5 on the counter service scale and won't order it again. It's good, but I like more flavor.

Overall, I'd rate Hungry Bear a 5/5 on the counter service scale. It's really one of the best. Good quality and if you order right, good flavor. People go crazy over the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, so I'd go for that, or if you're more of a carnivore like me, go for the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. You won't regret it!
