Best Food/Snack at the Park

Do they sell turkey legs anywhere in the park? I'd love to have one of those while walking around the park.

The Employee Cafeteria has the best food in the park, and the cheapest prices. (Not that I eat there everytime I go to the park, even though I haven't worked there since 2002)

The Happy Frier by gemini,Best fries in the park!!

Do they come with cheese or anything? Or just straight up?

They also have garlic fries and I know from past experience that unless you want to reek of garlic the rest of the day dont do those ;)
I'm italian and even I couldnt handle it!

If we eat in the park we LOVE Johnny Rockets.....I know overpriced, but their egg salad sandwiches are awesome and my hubby LOVES their cheeseburgers and fries :)

I like Chick-fil-A too but we've got one here so can eat there anytime. As for Famous Daves, I dont like BBQ, hubby loves it, he loves the food there, I get a salad.

We have eaten at Midway Market a few times too but thats only because my hubby's appetite can justify the almost $30.00 for the both of us. The food at MM is always fresh and its a pretty clean place. Pizza, spaghetti, hamburger, chicken, stuff to make tacos, salads and for dessert-cakes, pies, cookies and ice cream. But unless my hubby is starving we don't go near the place.

The thought of eating until you're stuffed then riding rides doesnt sit well with my tummy. Its a safe bet if I did get sick they would make me clean it up! ;)

I ate at the buffet that must be Midway Market one time last year. It was Saturday, October 17th, during the heart of halloweekends and I promise to God the line to get in, sit down, then get in line, fill up your plate and eat was longer than all but maybe 4 coaster lines in the park. I bet we killed an hour waiting to eat and the lines were so long at the buffet I didn't even get a second plate.

Because of the anxiety of killing time and frustration with not even getting a second plate my experience there sucked. I will have to try it again this year, but not during one of the busiest times of the year.

I'm surprised to see people are happy with the prices at Chick-fil-a. I think the are way too high. The sandwich, fry and drink conbo is about $11. As I recall that same combo is under $6 outside the park. I love their shakes but, I very seldom get one at CP because of the high price. When my family wants to eat there I usually steer them to Los Gatos.

For Kyle, turkey legs are sold at the Gristmill next to the Snake River Falls exit.

The giant Top Chill snowcones are good, one will there care of the 3 of us, we get extra spoons. You must sit at a table to eat the thing, it's very messy.

Is it just me or do I not see los gatos on the map? http://www.cedarpoint.com/_upload/pdf/2009_cedar_point_map_high.pdf

I didn't find Los Gatos either. I don't think all of the stands are listed. Los Gatos is around the corner from the Town Hall in Frontiertown. Between the Antique Cars and Wave Swinger. There is a blue dot with "8" on the map showing Town Hall, it is just above that.

Ok, I think we went there before but I can't remember.

Thanks.

Last fall was the first and only time (so far) I ate at Cedar Point's Chik-Fil-A, for an inside joke we kept the reciept. For 1 of us to get a combo our total came out to $5.89 Includes drink.

Did something change before closing?

Love the fresh made chips! I did not like the sour cream and onion ones but the Salt and vinegar, BBQ, and ketchup were my favorites. Usually get some before hitting up MF.

Cheese on a Stick is awesome! Much better when it has just came out of the friar. You can get them in a few places around the park. Up by space spiral, over by Wicked Twister and Chaos... back across from Gemini, back in Frontier Town on the way to the train depot, and up at the Dragon Inn by the train tracks right past Iron Dragon. Those are the only places I know of. Some places have pepper cheese as well as regular cheese on a stick.

Famous Dave's is usually always good when I go there and I always get the catfish fingers. They are excellent!

The place that serves Cheese on a Stick back in Frontier town... also last year had deep fried Oreos. Every time I have made those at my own place they are always good so they are probably good there too!

I also agree that Panda Express is very good although overpriced. I always get some kind of Orange Chicken meal usually every time I go to the park.

That is all I can think of at the moment.

Chik-Fil-A I will agree is a good place and not too bad as far as prices go. I get a chicken sandwich, fries, and a water for a little over $10. It doesn't seem too bad. It's good food too.

Prawojazdy, maybe the cashier made a mistake, I don't know. A milkshade at CP's Chick-fil-a is about $5. Even lemonade is more than $4. Every time we've ever bought a combo it's over $10 and I start whining about the cost. I don't doubt you paid under $6 however, I would not expect to pay that little again.

Maybe it was a deal or something that they ran near the end of the season.

But lets say it is over $10 which most of you had paid. From a value standpoint, its much better than what you get from CP run food stands.

I ate at Chic-Fill-a almost every trip last year. I usually got an Original and small frie with a cup of water for around $8 or the grilled chicken combo for around $10

If you would have gotten a pop or shake it would have been around $87.50 ;)
I know the prices at the park arent anywhere near what they are at an actual Chick-Fil-A, which I guess makes sense seeing how Subway and Panda Express are the same way.

I've often wondered why CP has never looked into a place to eat breakfast at the park. Donut Time is the only thing remotely close but why not a sit down restaurant where you can have breakfast or brunch?

It's cheese on a stick dipped in the breading that a corn dog is dipped in, and then fried just like a corn dog.

And they are very good too! Not to mention fattening!! :)
