Upgraded Food Reviews / Menu & Pricing Changes

The cookies were at C.J.'s Provisions, which is next to Toot Sweets on the Frontier Trail by Millenium Force. It was the first time I'd ever been in the place, and the employees were super jolly in there, so happy to save me money using the Platinum deal.

Edit: I imagine those cookies would all be good when fresh. The M&M ones we had were still nice, chewy, and fresh, like home made. The chocolate chip and peanut butter chocolate chip ones had turned a bit hard / stale, so they were kind of tasteless at the time. But, I just reheated those in the microwave, and they taste much better now.

Awe, I love the look and atmosphere of Toot Sweets...I'll have to find my way inside next time. We walked right past about a dozen times earlier this week.

Fresh fried perch would be great! But I had the fries and they were fantastic. Glad they're focusing on the little things again. It's gonna be a great summer.

Ooh, if they could get Jolly Roger from Port Clinton to open a perch shop in the park... mmmm.

Are the Subway prices still outrageous?

I just noticed the 6" prices, which were in the $5.** range. Not sure on the footlongs though.

These fresh never frozen burgers haven't been working out very well for neither Cedar Point nor Kings Island. Both have been getting complaints about cold burgers.

If you go to this link and click on the Meals tab, that is probably one of the better deals you can get if you don't have a platinum pass.

Thanks so much for sharing this deal with us! My family used it this weekend- for the $10.65 + online processing fee ($5 for your total order) - we bought 5 so it was like only paying $1 processing for each one.

We got the Chicken tenders basket at Round Up (near Maverick)- regular cost $10.20, the 32 oz Cedar Point souvenir cup was priced at $6.15- refills were $1.99 or $2.12 with tax. It easily paid for itself- it was like getting the cup for cheap and since we had my son's stroller we could easily get a refill later in the day. The chicken basket and fries give you plenty of food to share - we ate 3 baskets between 5 adults and one toddler.

My only problem was I couldn't find these stands marked on the map. We never did see Bayou Refreshment...

Thanks again for sharing!

Visited on Friday. There was more variety overall in food selections.

^^ Yeah, we heard someone singing "$14.44 foot-looongs" by the Subway. Plus any sides or drinks. Plus tax.

Happy Friar: Crew did not know how anything about Platinum passholder deals. Understandable since they were bartender fill-ins from Last Chance Saloon. Food was fine.

Famous Dave's: Service was really slow and the chicken was dried out but the brisket and everything else was excellent. Cost about $20 per person plus drinks.

I see someone confirmed that Famous Dave's refunds your parking if you spend $25. Does anyone know if they also refund the upgrade parking fee?

I must not have as fine of sense of taste as everyone else. Maybe if you put this years fries next to last years I could taste the difference but when I ate some of this year's I thought they were good but nothing to get excited about.

I don't see the connection between fresh hamburgers being served cold. Fresh and frozen hamburgers would both be cooked to the same temperature. Why would a fresh hamburger cool down faster sitting under a heat lamp than a frozen hamburger sitting under the same lamp?

The fries this year are a big improvement to my palate, but it is probably a subtile but meaningful change to many people. I didn't know that they changed the recipe, but for a number of years now the fries just seemed off. Not bad but something was wrong where they were not as good as they once were. I'm pleased that are now back to where they should be and as tasty as I remember them.

On the hamburgers, of course there is no difference in how fast a cooked hamburger cools down. What is disappointing at CP is that all of the walk-up stands use the same quarter pound frozen patties that were used last year, no improvement here. Coasters may have the new burgers, I haven't figured that out yet though. They always used a better burger patty at Coasters but I think the burgers are better then I remember them to be. I any case, I thought the burger was good and the Platinum Pass deal with the Coaster's Classic burger was great.

There should be no difference between the two, but it's all about the process of serving them. I'm going to guess that the old frozen burgers had complaints about not being served hot as well?

Maybe it had something to do with the park being pretty dead, but that's never an excuse to serve customers old, cold food. Many people are trying these new burgers for the first time like myself, so getting a cold burger served was a huge turn off. How long had it been sitting there?

We were at the park this past weekend and had a great time. The pizza was good at the Pizza Patio but the other places that serve pizza looked just plain bad, all pizza places should serve the same pizza. Platinum deals we had, Fries over by Gemini were good although they were out of chili, he gave us double cheese instead, great deal for the price large and small fries and 2 drinks for $7. Then there was the Meatball sandwich deal, I did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Large sandwich with tasty meatballs and good sauce and cheese, lots of fries (not that great) but edible and a drink $6, well worth it. My son loved the Platinum Perk for the $2+ free game deal, he won 3 large stuffed animals in about an hour. Adventure Island and the Dino's were well worth the $5, thought it was better than KI's even though there are less Dino's at Cp. Great photo opp's with the Dino's and Millennium, will probably go again because camera batteries went dead.

^^That is what I figure as well but there have been a couple of comments about how the fresh burgers are not any good because they are cold. I don't think it is the burger's fault but rather a service issue.

Bayou Refreshments is near the front gate, next to the Jack Aldrich Theater.
