ESPN Zone

Our family had a really great time here. We all thought for sure that it would be like Dave and Busters in SD...meaning the food is bad and games are expensive.

We went on a Saturday night so naturally the wait was for an hour at the restaurant. Of course in the mean time we went upstairs to play the games. We got a card for $1 then the best deal was 125 points for $25. Those 125 points lasted quite a while for my husband and I. We played skee ball, air hockey, basketball, and those were only 4 points. The racing arcade or shooting games were about 10 points. I think the most expensive thing was mini bowling for 16 points a person, which turns out to be about $5. The bowling was 10 frames and lasted a long time like normal bowling.

The food was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and it had tons of chicken and the lettuce was fresh. My husband had the 1/2 chicken entree with mashed potatoes and green beans. That was about $17 and it was pretty good too. Tasted like a store bought rotisserie chicken. The veggies were nice and not the typical canned or frozen green beans. I would say the portion sizes were good for the prices especially for Downtown Disney. My sister and brother in law all loved their food too.

Our service from the hostess to the server to the people upstairs was all really great! Friendly and nice staff!

If only the Dodgers had been on while we were there....(insert giant sigh here)...you would hope that if you stepped into a place called ESPN Zone the sports viewing would be incredible, well, it is.  Unfortunately, my team wasn't playing, but I have no problem revisiting this place as the food was really good and the cocktails were fantastic!  They were tasty and potent, which was a pleasant surprise as the restaurant is in downtown Disney and I thought that maybe since it was a little touristy they might skimp on the alcohol and splurge on the price--nope!  Okay, the drinks were a little pricey, but not more than most places in LA, and they were totally worth it!  Plus, they have Minute Maid light lemonade--thank you!!!  They mix that with sweet tea vodka for a fabulous Angry Arnold--so good!!!

I must thank ESPN Zone for making my first portobello mushroom burger experience a savory one.  Oh, man, this is a good burger.  The mushroom is the "meat," but it is so flavorful that you honestly don't miss real meat.  My husband tried mine and even Mr. Meat liked it--must be a good burger! :)

We sat at the bar and just on the other side of the bar, but facing us was a gigantic movie screen playing a baseball game--not a game I cared about, but still, it was awesome!  On either side of the screens they had the start times of all the upcoming games; very, very cool!  

This is a sportsman's paradise with excellent food and yummy drinks, so even if you don't like sports, you will still have a good time with your friends that do.

The best bacon I've ever had on a burger. I could eat this every day of my life!
