Disneyland’s Hungry Bear restaurant, known for its varieties of burgers and funnel cakes, is getting a new menu and name inspired by relics that once called “The Happiest Place on Earth” home.
Hungry Bear Restaurant, now known as Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, will offer a robust barbecue menu and music. The restaurant’s musical element was inspired by the famed Country Bears attraction, which was at the park from 1972 to 2001. Walt Disney World in Florida recently unveiled an updated version of their Country Bears attraction.
The revamped restaurant will also mark the return of a traditional barbecue restaurant at Disneyland. The park hasn’t had a dedicated barbecue restaurant since Big Thunder Barbecue closed to make way for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, according to Theme Park Insider.
Chef John State, culinary director for food and beverage at the Disneyland Resort, said during a D23 panel that the new menu would include “traditional favorites,” according to SFGate.
Disney shared a glimpse at what guests can expect to see on the revamped menu.
