REVIEW: You’ll Be So Tempted To Buy Disney’s NEW Oktoberfest Dog…DON’T

We love Disneyland for many, many reasons — the rides, the atmosphere, not to mention the FOOD.

Hey, we’re DFB, eating Disney food is literally what we do. And while we’ve had some fantastic eats over the years, there are also some that just don’t make the mark for us, and we don’t hold back on telling you when that happens. We’d hate for you to spend your money on something you may not enjoy, which is why we’re telling you to beware of this new Disneyland meal.

Over at Craftsman Grill in the Grand Californian Hotel, you can find new hot dogs of the month throughout the year. We make it a priority to head over there and try them all out, and this month’s is the Oktoberfest Dog. This is made with classic German bockwurst served on a warm pretzel bun with whole-grain mustard, braised cabbage, and white cheese sauce, served with a side of fries. It costs $13.75.

Oktoberfest Dog

Now this dog certainly looked like a lot, and we had high hopes. However, we’re sad to say it just wasn’t…good. The bockwurst had a soft and mushy texture, and it tasted like super bland, off-tasting pork. Bockwurst is usually flavored with salt, pepper, and paprika, but the pepper overpowered all other flavors in this one.

The whole grain mustard was spread inside the bun and was the most prominent flavor, and the braised cabbage had a texture like grilled onions but with an earthy flavor that was slightly sweet.

Not a great texture on the bockwurst

The pretzel bun was our favorite part because it was a little crunchy on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. But the fries were very disappointing — they were just crunchy potato skins with little to nothing inside each fry.

It was a no on the fries for us

Overall the bread and toppings were pretty good, but the bockwurst threw the whole thing off. Maybe if you REALLY love bockwurst it’s worth a try, but otherwise, we recommend skipping this one.

We usually like the hot dogs here a lot, so this was an unusual occasion when we just weren’t big fans of this particular meal.

We don’t recommend this meal

However, there are a lot of other incredible things we love about Disneyland, and we write about those very often, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!
