Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree is a counter-service restaurant in Disneyland’s Bayou Country. This slightly updated version of the original Hungry Bear Restaurant has some loose theming around the Country Bears while overlooking Rivers of America. Serving barbecue fare, the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. Calling Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree a makeover instead of a new restaurant is accurate. Much of the old Hungry Bear Restaurant looks the same. There’s a fresh paint job and some new bunting but the atmosphere gets by based on the lovely outdoor views up amongst the trees. That’s more than enough to make the restaurant one of the best spots in Disneyland to have a meal.There are a few Country Bear Jamboree touches throughout. Framed photos of nearly all of the characters line the walls of the restaurant.
