Even Lamer Topic Alert: Dining at Six Flags Great Adventure/Dorney

OhioStater's avatar

A nod to Andy's recent CP topic (glad you had a good time).

Somewhat unexpectedly (it hasn't been official for too long), we are gearing up for one last family road trip before the oldest heads off to college. Her track-running adventures are taking us out to Philly (never been), and since we have the all-parks-add-on, we thought it would be a good opportunity to visit some parks we haven't visited in a long time (since 2005, to be exact).

After a track meet, we're going to ping-pong between Dorney Park and Six Flags Great Adventure for a few days. Curious if any frequenters to these parks (especially SFGA) have any insight into how the dining options are. We'll do the all-day-dining pass at both places, but I remember next-to-nothing about the food. For context, I've now gotten used to Cedar Point's recent relatively solid dining options (with a pretty good variety).

Any hidden gems or personal must-have favorites?

As someone who has been to Great Adventure often I can say Best of the West under the log flume has the BBQ most know from other parks, smoked sirloin sandwich, pulled pork sandwich etc. Most locals are saying thats the best option. The other places that have the in park chef food are Main Street Pub at the central fountain (don't be afraid of the fish and chips idea or the wings), Yum-Yum Palace by the Carousel (Detroit style Pizza, chicken tenders), Granny's behind the Big Wheel (meatloaf) all have the tastier options. I am not sure about how they meet up with dietary rules for medical reasons. They also just added Garden State Fries at the beginning of the Boardwalk area near the games. That has Gabagool corndogs on a stick and Disco Fries, think poutine I didn't try it this last weekend.

Dorney, which I don't believe has a chef assigned to the park) has the same BBQ options at the place to the right of the WaveSwinger. Then I hear good about Tidalwave Cafe in the waterpark. I haven't tried it as I don't go into the water park often. Other than that I find most food hit or miss at Dorney.
