Theme park food at its best. I know bbq and this is it. - vernon griffin

Great ribs, cooked right at the park, outside. - corbin byers

This is in France, near the train station (about the farthest point from the entrance to the park). We wanted something substantial, and the atmosphere seemed nice, rustic log cabin kind of thing with the smell of smoked ribs wafting through the air (courtesty of outdoor grills; it looks like they just finish the ribs off on them to give them some char). The setup is pretty standard, grab a tray and stand in line in cafeteria fashion, and grab pre-made plastic plates of various meals. The most common are brisket, ribs and chicken. I got a combo plate of all three. It came with waffle fries, a roll, and a little tub of BBQ sauce on the side. They also had desserts, salads, sandwiches and side items. Two combo plates and two soft drinks was $31 (hello!) Only outdoor seating available, so we grabbed a picnic table and dug in. It was pretty bad. We are used to this kind of amusement park food, (I mean what else are you gonna do, exit the park to go drive somewhere just to eat?)..but, c'mon. The chicken (a smallish breast/wing/leg portion with skin) was the best part..not all that bad, somewhat tender and seasoned ok. The brisket was very dry, but dipping the strips in the decent tub of sauce made them somewhat enjoyable. Kind of like a cold satay. However, the spare ribs were so tough as to be inedible. I returned the meal, just asking for a refund for a third of the meal (they graciously gave me more). The waffle fries were like a poor man's Chic-fil-a kind of thing. The roll, though large, was cardboard. Next time I'll just stick to funnel cakes and dippin dots. - Melonia Thurston

I liked the food at Trapper’s Smokehouse quite a bit, but it seemed that by the time I got it, paid for it, walked to the dining area, and sat down, my food was either lukewarm, or beset by flies. Indoor seating options near Trappers would be a huge plus. - James Rao

Absolute top notch quality and value. This is where BG truly excels! Don't miss this if you like smoked and grilled meats. - Leon Pfeiffer

Try to eat here during non peak times to avoid the lines. Great food and a lot of it! - Jason Jackson
