Best food in the park?

So ordered a couple cocktails from a vendor at the park a couple weeks ago and my credit card still has not been charged. Kind of strange? Even if it has not been charged yet it will at least say pending. But two weeks ago is pretty far back. Looks like I got free drinks lol.

I wouldn't complain. They must have changed their minds about charging you.

So I'm a little upset today, Cedar Point decided to take out Los Gatos in the back of the park and replace it with another pizza shop. Don't we have enough of those already? Plus, Los Gatos was perfect on the wallet; anybody else agree?

Yeah, I'm disappointed as well. That was a good place to go without emptying your wallet. That was some of the best value food options in my opinion.

We ate the burrito or taco at Los Gatos about half the time we used our meal plans. This is horrible news! Nothing is replacing it with Mexican food?

They had Mexican food cafeteria/build to order style at the chuck wagon across the midway, not a surprise Los Gatos is now a pizza shack. The layout of the chuck wagon is much better suited than the cluster f*** window that Los Gatos has.

I think the changes are a big win. Famous Dave's replacing Grist Mill is pretty exciting. Pizza at the former Los Gatos makes sense as it is replacing pizza at Grist Mill. And the burritos at Chuck Wagon/Buckaroo’s Burritos are much better than Los Gatos was and they are also on the meal plan, at least they were last year. Where Los Gatos reminded me of Taco Bell, Chuck Wagon had higher quality ingredients and was more reminicent of something like Chipotle


I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

I liked the tacos at Los Gatos on the meal plan as a lighter option, but glad some BBQ will be in the park. Has anyone been able to get a full list of all season dining options for 2017.

These changes are great in my opinion, hopefully they continue in a positive manner and work on quality/service.
I know they have the ability and the park has come so far in the other areas they've focused on, I'm genuinely excited to see changes to food services like this.

So, uh.... Where can I get my Macho Nachos? :(

Maybe they'll offer it at Buckaroo?

Edible Nachos would be a good start, the macho nachos weren't very macho or nacho the last couple years.

True... Each year it seemed like they were dropping in quality a little bit. They even removed them from the menu at one point until enough people bothered them to bring them back. If I'm not taking advantage of the Platinum Fries deal, I'm usually eating Macho Nachos.

Not trying to start any drama, but I wonder why they didn't mention the food changes beyond the Melt restaurant at WCO in February?

Maybe because they weren't finalized at the time. Or maybe budgets allowed for additional improvements, Mr. Ouimet's style is a lot more 'on the fly' than before, it's like he sees a change and it dominos into a more finished project.

Or more likely, they were avoiding talking about any changes in or near frontier town to stop inevitable questions from coaster geeks about what they already said they weren't going to talk about (ms 2.0)

Excited for BBQ in the park, will be a huge win if it's on the meal plan. (The website still lists all the locations being replaced/renamed as of 5/4/17)

Bummed the walking taco is leaving Frontiertown but currently it is still on the menu at Corral up front. I agree it's a nice cheaper option for a in-between in meal credit snack at $6.

Macho Nachos appear on the menu for Last Chance Saloon, so not removed from the park, just relocated I think.

Overall, steps in the right direction in improving the meal options.

Still hoping one of the years CP builds a Harmony Hall type venue.

I think we all need to pause for a moment and appreciate the fact that good BBQ will be available inside the park. Perhaps for the first time since the pre-Millennium Force days of the Chicken BBQ.

Thank you, Dave, and your famous food.

All excellent news in my opinion. Now if only we could do something about those aweful park cheeseburgers and weak fries that come with them. I dont mind paying premium prices but I want something better for the buck. Super excited for daves, and also look forward to trying the sky ride refreshments bbq foods.
