Calling all thrill seekers! Though lunch is probably the last thing on people's minds before they hop aboard some gravity-defying coaster, but spending a day hitting the rides can definitely work up an appetite. Why settle for lackluster theme park standards like greasy chicken legs and over boiled hot dogs when parks across the country offer not only your adrenaline fix, but delicious eats to boot?
Calling all thrill seekers! Though lunch is probably the last thing on people's minds before they hop aboard some gravity-defying coaster, but spending a day hitting the rides can definitely work up an appetite. Why settle for lackluster theme park standards like greasy chicken legs and over boiled hot dogs when parks across the country offer not only your adrenaline fix, but delicious eats to boot?

Find award-winning food at Knoebel's Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. The park has received Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Award for Best Food for the past 13 years. Or chow down on fried chicken, homemade biscuits, and boysenberry pie at Ms. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant at Knott's Berry Farm- a classic since 1934.

Or for those that want to go high class, use connections to get invited to Club 33 at Disneyland. With a chef trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York and seasonal menu offerings, people can expect a fine dining experience that is anything but childlike. Plus, take note; it's the only place in the park where alcohol is served.

And at Universal Studios Hollywood, make sure to eat at The International Café. Not only is it the 2010 recipient of the prestigious Santé Award, but it's also the only restaurant located within a theme park to garner the prize.

So who says all amusement park food has to be trite and stomach-ache-inducing? After all, it's the roller coasters that should be making you hurl, not the food. So forget the cotton candy and skip the cheese fries. Our friends at The Daily Meal have rounded up ten theme park eats so delicious, they make admission prices more than worth it.
