Funnel Cakes....in my opinion!

Pizza from Firehouse in Hometown is pretty good.

Cheese fries from just about anywhere in the park.

Chicken dinners at Aunt Martha's are not half bad either.

Panda Express at Farmer's Market.....ORANGE CHICKEN!!

Though I havent eaten at the park in so long, I know they have them, Any place that puts McCormick Season All on their fries (I think Andre's and Fiesta Fries have it), or any of the battered season fries.

Also my favorite thing at the park, Sno Biz Sno Cones(Shaved ice actually, huge diffference), with Grape or Strawberry being my fav :)

I like Crazy Buffalo Saloon. Their Nachos are HUGE and it says for 2 people, but it must be two fat people because 4 people could eat that!

are you talking about all those Nut stands? I havn't tried those yet. Been tempted it smells good.


They have those at Gurnee Mills, too, and the smell is so powerful it makes you thirsty, and gives you a nauseous feeling at times. Don't forget, they have those at the Renaissance Faire nearby. :D

I love the fiesta fries and fajitas, both are big enough to feed two. You used to be able to get the fries with sour cream and salsa as well, I don't think they do that anymore. Most of the time I eat out of the park though, can't beat the .25 hamburgers on cruise night at McDonalds.
You can put it on the board...yes!

When I was there last Saturday, no less than four of the restaurants in the Farmers Market were closed. I was very surprised and rather disappointed. I wanted to get the chicken tenders meal, but alas, it was closed. So I had to settle for a burger, which wasn't very warm. Why would half of the restaurants be closed in the middle of the day on a Saturday?

Must have changed in the past 5 or so years since I've had them. Maybe it's a good thing I dont eat there anymore. :)

I recently had a hamburger at Mooseburger without sauce. Without a doubt, it was easily one of the worst hamburgers I have had in awhile. For an $8 burger that is supposed to be made out of 'premium sirloin', I was disappointed. Maybe with the bbq sauce it would have been better, but a burger shouldn't need sauce to make it taste good.... I like the ambience of the place; I just wish their burgers were better. However, the apple dumplings they have there, which are also at other areas of the park, are awesome.

Personally, I usually eat Nachos at the park. Always great. Firehouse Pizza's breadsticks are also really, really good. Great place to eat at when the weather is not good, and also when it is nice outside and you can go to the connecting shaded outside area. Sometimes, but not usually, I also go to Crazy Buffalo Saloon, and Aunt Martha's.

Anyone visit that new smoothie stand? Maui Wowi I think it is called. My friends and I made some jokes about getting the Tiki cup. It is basically a plastic cup with a totem –pole-esque character engraved on it... Really funny when I had no idea what it was, and I asked the guy working it (an elderly guy) about it...

So he casually pulls out the small cup say it is the small, sets it down... then he pulls out the medium cup, again very casually, says it is the medium, and sets it down. Then he takes out the Tiki cup, much more dramatically than the first two cups, and sets it down on the counter harder than the others, and says in a deeper voice, "And this is the Tiki!" and gives my friends and I a look like it is something to be proud of. Really odd looking, and between the look and the cost of it ($8.55 with tax) we were joking that I should now be able to get VIP access to anywhere in the park if I just flash my Tiki cup. Or, I could walk around with it like the statue of liberty, and watch all the ladies look on in admiration. :) Then, when I went to refill it later with water two times, both staff members had no idea that the park even sold it and thought it looked strange…. Good times.

I like the nachos, but the only thing I don't like about the food system is the cups. First, they don't have lids or straws, which stinks. Also, the cups are huge! I think they should have different sizes.

They now do have different sizes drinks at most places. That is something new they added this year. They don’t have lids or straws because they cost money and people will throw them all over the floor, so they just don't have them.
