We might’ve found the greatest thing since sliced bread over at the Disneyland Resort!
Parkside Market
Okay, so maybe that’s a bit of an overreaction. Still, this lunch is one we absolutely CANNOT stop thinking about. We recently stopped by GG’s Chicken Shop at Parkside Market in Downtown Disney, and we HAD to share our experience with you!
Parkside Market is one of the newer additions to Downtown Disney and is a two-storey quick-service spot that houses several different kitchens that serve up all kinds of tasty eats.
GG’s Chicken Shop
Inside, you’ll find tons of tables in a bright setting, and upstairs sits a bar with additional tables and booths. There is also some outdoor seating upstairs.
Parkside Market
But enough about the building — what’s on the menu here?!
GG’s Chicken Shop serves “a family-friendly menu of chicken sandwiches, salads, and sides in Downtown Disney from Michelin-starred chef, Lee Wolen.” When the restaurant first opened, we gave it a strong review, so returning was never even a question.
GG’s Chicken Shop
During our recent visit, we opted for a simple lunch, but it absolutely stood out.
First up, we grabbed the Crispy Brussels Sprouts for $6. These are served with chili lime salt.
Crispy Brussels Sprouts
These have become our new obsession! They are great bang for your buck because the portions are pretty big. There is a lime chili seasoning on top that is so incredibly tasty with a wonderful zest and a hint of spice that is perfection!
These are incredible!
Next, we tried the Sweet Corn Elote for $6. This side is made with lime, chipotle, cotija, and cilantro.
Sweet Corn Elote
Another obsession, this elote is served in a small cup with lots of cotija cheese. There might be just a tad too much cheese, but the flavors still come through, and it’s absolutely delicious! In Southern California, you expect good elote, and GG’s Chicken Shop delivers.
YUM
Finally, we also tried the side GG’s Mac & Cheese — also for $6.
GG’s Mac & Cheese
This is a plain mac and cheese with no frills, and it’s perfect for a kiddos with a small appetite or those craving a small snack. It’s got that basic, yet reliable, cheesy flavor, and a price that’s tough to beat.
GG’s Chicken Shop is a must-visit if…
You should skip this Downtown Disney restaurant if…
We stuck with sides for our visit and came away with a delicious lunch! GG’s remains a fantastic addition to the Disneyland Resort, and we can’t wait to see what the restaurant delivers next!
Everything we tried
In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more restaurant updates from the Disneyland Resort, so be sure to stay tuned right here at the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news, reviews, tips, and more!

Nosh or Not
GG’s Chicken Shop is a must-visit if…
- YOU WANT GOOD QUICK SERVICE. This spot serves elevated quick-service food. It’s not the cheapest restaurant at Disneyland, but it is ideal for folks not wanting to spend a ton of time at a restaurant.
- A FUN TAKE ON THE CLASSICS INTERESTS YOU. The menu here does cater to classics like waffle fries and chicken sandwiches, but they are specially seasoned and crafted with a bit more care.
- YOU WANT TO STOCK UP ON SIDES. As you can see, we really dig the sides here — and they aren’t too expensive. If you want to taste a bunch of little things, this is a good spot.
You should skip this Downtown Disney restaurant if…
- YOU WANT A THEMED EXPERIENCE. There are tons of nearby sit-down restaurants that’ll give you more of an immersion. Parkside Market works more like a food court.
- YOU WANT MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. The sides here are affordable. But keep in mind that sandwiches are a tad pricey and do not include any sides. You can rack up a bill fast.
Overall
We stuck with sides for our visit and came away with a delicious lunch! GG’s remains a fantastic addition to the Disneyland Resort, and we can’t wait to see what the restaurant delivers next!
