January 2001 – present
LOCATION
Downtown Disney – The Jazz Kitchen Express hugs the side of the larger Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen. You’ll see the giant building across from Tortilla Jo’s and Splitsville, between the circular courtyard and the LEGO Store.
EXPERIENCE
Details:
- Service Type – quick service
- Seating – adjacent patio
- Reservations – no
- Entertainment – none
- Menu
Looking for the taste of the Jazz Kitchen, without sitting through table service? Jazz Kitchen Express offers a selection of favorites, available right at the counter. Whether you stop by for a snack or a full meal, the Jazz Kitchen has good food and a nice patio overlooking a scenic section of Downtown Disney.
MY RATING – ★★★☆☆
Jazz Kitchen Express has a decent selection of food, and one of the largest quick service breakfast menus at the resort. This is also a great place to grab a beignet! But I don’t think the Express version of the Jazz Kitchen has the same charm or character as the sit-down version. So if you’re debating between quick service or table service, I’d recommend table service for this location.
MY FAVORITES
- BBQ Pork Poboy
- Original New Orleans beignets
TRIVIA
The Jazz Kitchen (express and full service) and the Mint Julep Bar are the only locations that offer beignets as the Disneyland Resort.
I always wonder about quick service versions of full service Disney Park resraurant. Thanks for the advice.
