At a glance
Last Chance Cafe is a quick-service restaurant in Frontierland, in Disneyland Park. Its look borrows everything from a Wild West saloon: a weathered wooden sign, rustic lanterns, wooden porch fronts, "Wanted" posters, and clippings from the fictional Thunder Mesa Daily Messenger pinned to the walls.
Inside, a large covered dining area with exposed beams makes up most of the space. Outside, it’s extended by a covered terrace with tables under lanterns and wooden porches overlooking the banks of the Rivers of the Far West. The theming ties into the world of Thunder Mesa, the fictional town it shares with the nearby rides Big Thunder Mountain and Phantom Manor.
You order at the counter, from a menu built around Tex-Mex food.
The gold prospectors’ outpost. Wanted posters for the outlaws of Thunder Mesa, the mining town, cover the walls of this quick-service counter. On the menu, you’ll find Tex-Mex dishes like smoked turkey legs. From its shaded wooden terrace, you get a great look at the lake and at the tracks of the mine train.

History
Opened with the park on April 12, 1992, this period counter is part of the main street of Thunder Mesa, the fictional town of Frontierland.
Its stagecoach stop architecture has stayed exactly as it was from the start. The restaurant has never been renamed or moved to another area since the park opened, and it mostly serves as extra capacity on busy days.

My verdict
Last Chance Cafe is a saloon-style counter in Frontierland, famous for its turkey leg. What it has going for it is a Western snack spot you’ll recognize right away, plus a shaded covered terrace.
I’ve eaten here several times, and the turkey leg is the real reason to come, for around €8. One small regret: this spot, open since 1992, has no indoor dining room, only a large covered terrace, so it gets cold in winter. The flavors are slightly spicy and it gets crowded at peak times. The saloon atmosphere is still fun.
I’d recommend it if you want to try the turkey leg in a Western setting. It’s less of a fit in the middle of winter or if you want to sit down somewhere warm.

Your questions about this restaurant
01 Where can you find cheap eats in the Disneyland Paris parks?
To keep costs down, stick to the quick-service counters rated €. Casey’s Corner serves hot dogs on Main Street, Café Hyperion offers burgers and nuggets in Discoveryland, Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost has pizza by the slice in Adventureland, and Cowboy Cookout Barbecue in Frontierland is still a good deal. Over at Disney Adventure World, Stark Factory and Super Diner remain affordable. Tip: Mobile Order in the app also lets you order at some counters without waiting in line. And for a little snack, a waffle, churros, or ice cream for €5-10 hits the spot.
02 Do Disney restaurants have kids’ menus?
Yes, nearly every Disneyland Paris restaurant has a child price (ages 3-11). At the all-you-can-eat buffets, kids pay about half price: €25 at Agrabah Café, €25 at Cape Cod, €20 at La Cantina. Classic table-service restaurants also have a kids’ menu with a kid-friendly appetizer, main course, and dessert. At the quick-service counters, you’ll find kids’ menus that include a drink and a dessert. You can ask for a high chair when you book, using the "special request" field.
03 Are there vegetarian and vegan options at Disneyland Paris restaurants?
Yes, a growing number of Disneyland Paris restaurants have vegetarian and vegan choices. In Frontierland, Lucky Nugget Saloon offers an entirely vegan menu, and over in Fantasyland, Toad Hall Restaurant serves breaded plant-based crispy bites that are very good. Most of the other table-service restaurants and buffets list at least one vegetarian dish. Simple buffets such as Agrabah Café or Cape Cod have meatless options too. For the full picture, get my free file by email, which gathers the menus of every Disneyland Paris restaurant: you can check the veggie options ahead of your visit.
04 Where should you go for an afternoon treat or a small bite in the parks?
The parks are packed with kiosks and snack stands for when hunger strikes. On the sweet side, there’s Cookie Kitchen on Main Street U.S.A., March Hare Refreshments in Fantasyland, waffle and churro stands all over, and roaming popcorn and ice cream carts. On the savory side, the hot dogs at Casey’s Corner. Plan on €5-10 per snack. Quick tip: some stands sell reusable collectible popcorn buckets that make fun souvenirs and get you discounted refills all day long.
05 What is Mobile Order at Disneyland Paris restaurants, and where can I use it?
Mobile Order lets you order your meal ahead in the official Disneyland Paris mobile app and pick it up at the time you choose, without waiting in line. You sign in to the app, pick the restaurant and the time slot, choose your dishes, pay online (your annual pass discount code works), and get your pickup voucher by email.
