Lovmy2girls and Counter Service reviews !

[lovmy2girls]

COUNTER SERVICE! These two little words are very powerful ones. They can cause some to be sick to their stomach. They can cause others to yell out “NO not another chicken strip PLEASE have mercy our stomachs!” They can cause others to squeal in delight “OH Hot Dog, I will take a HOT DOG, YUM YUM!

Now, there are a few places in WDW that I love the Counter Service and these photos do not do the food justice. But…..I just wanted to let you guys see some of our favorite dishes at Counter service. Sadly, there are only a few pics from this trip to show ya.

Here is our favorite Sandwich in all of WDW counter service. It comes from Columbia Harbor House. THE ANCHORS AWAY Sandwich. Tuna, with lettuce, tomato, on delicious multi grain bread, toasted to perfection served with a wonderful bag of chips.
The bread is a perfect mix of soft and crunchy and toasted! The tuna is perfect with the just the right amount of mayo, and for you Tuna sandwich lovers out there, you know what I mean. Too much mayo causes a soggy sandwich! There is nothing like coming in from a hard morning in the MK, all hot and tired and relaxing with one of these little beauties. If it is open, try the upstairs of the CHH, very quiet and a nice view of Liberty Square.

In the Animal Kingdom, there are two great counter service places. Flame Tree bar BQ and the Tusker House. This is a hot topic on the boards with which one is better, and it has just come down to taste buds for us. Both are GREAT!! But….My husband loves the Salmon at the Tusker, and the kids like the chicken drum stick there too. Also adding to the dinning enjoyment at the Tusker House is A/C! Nothing beats a cool great place to eat after fighting the Yeti all morning and the Tusker House is our #1 pick!

Here is a picture of the Salmon and Ale. My hubby loves this dish! The salmon comes with Rice, and green beans. He says both are fantastic and seasoned just right, and the Ale just makes it all that much better! The Ale is optional but highly recommended.

For the kids dinning pleasure you have good options here! The chicken drum stick with mash tatoes is a good alternative to the regular chicken strips and fries. Not to leave my other little one out, here is a pic of the Mac n cheese, with NO FRIES! Both give thumbs up on this whole meal and they are ready to go back out in the Animal Kingdom and have fun!

Those are our two number one picks at the moment. Epcot has great Counter service; you can hardly go wrong with any place over there. The backlot Express over at MGM had good turkey wraps. Due to the hard day we had there, we forgot to take pictures of that, sorry.

Now…An honorable mention goes out to the Pinocchio Village Haus in the MK for this sandwich here. Grilled Turkey and Bacon Panini - smoked turkey, bacon, roasted red peppers, tomato basil on muli-grain bread, served with chips. This did not win over the Tuna Sandwich, but was very good.

In conclusion, for the all the Table Service only dinners, I would like to say that counter service is not something to be feared or crossed of the list. You can find very good food in WDW in the fast lane.

Enjoy, and that’s the last of my food reports guys! Until the Food and Wine Festival!!

The Columbia tune sandwich looks great, we have never eaten there might try that this time when I am hot and sticky and don't fancy a burger.

Hi ... Thank You again for the reviews - I'm so hungry now, could use one of those sandwiches - I Love CHH too. :thumbsup2 :goodvibes

[TigerKat]

Thank you soooo much for all of your great reviews/pics!!! You visited most of the places we'll be going to!! Another thanks for the MARTINI'S!! :thumbsup2

[bookgirl2632]

Great reviews! We're planning on eating at Tusker House in September. I may try the salmon.

One question about the tuna sandwich at CCH: does it have celery? I love tuna, but I can't stand celery. Consequently, I rarely order it.

I'm with your hubby re the Salmon (and the beer lol) at Tusker House. It's really tasty and great value too! I get it every time we visit AK.

I've so enjoyed your reports and food pics, and your girls are real cuties too princess:

You know, I have eaten this sandwich more times than I can remember, and I feel really stupid saying this, but I don't know. I don't like onions and celery in my tuna either. I will say this...If they have celery in this sandwich it is cut up really, really small. If there were big chunks I think I would have tasted it. So sorry about this. Here I go on an on about this great sandwich and I don't even know if there is celery in it! :sad2: I just asked my hubby too, and he said he didn't think celery was in the sandwich either. Sooo...Maybe ask the cashier if she could find out before your order it. I will investigate this matter next time I go for sure.

The food quality is almost like Table service isn't it? That really is such a beautiful meal, and taste good TOO! :teeth:

[momofdbsdc]

Thanks again!!!!

[swankybeth]

Thanks for all of the fabulous reviews and pictures. I also agree about the salmon at Tusker House-divine! :thumbsup2

[DisneyMomx7]

We must have the same taste! I always have the tuna sandwich on our first day at MK - it is sooooo good. Tusker House is another one of our favorites -a definite lunch for us on our AK day.

Haven't tried the pannini at Pinocchio's yet but definitely have that ear marked for July. Thanks!

[Kaycee]

We're counter service fans, and we adore CHH, so I really enoyed your reviews. :)

[elastigirlfan]

Thank you for your report and for the photos...I'm looking forward to eating at Columbia Harbour House and Tusker House on our next trip. Your pic's looked yummy!!

[2xcited2slp]

well, okay----I never thought I would look forward to a tuna sandwich. I like tuna but I never really thought about ordering it at a restaurant, much less WDW. It is usually just something I whip up when there is nothing else in the house to eat. :lmao:

I now want a tuna sandwich--thank you very much. When I go to CHH I always get a bowl of the yummy clam chowder. I think next time it will have to be a soup/sandwich combo. Do they have this? I will have to investigate. :magnify:

Thanks for your reviews. (I just read your review on LeCellier).
Great input all around. :sunny:

They have a Half Sandwich and Cup of soup $6.69, but I don't know what kind of sandwich, Sorry. I don't make tuna at all when home. When I go to Subway, I never look once at their tuna YUK, I have had it before! CHH must put some kind of special something in that sandwich is all I can figure!

[schatterjee]

Have really enjoyed reading all your reviews and seeing the pics! Thanks for taking the time to post!!

[Minniespal]

Enjoyed reading your reviews ~ Thanx for sharing.

I am not a big fish eater but like tuna, is the sandwich very "fishy"? Or overall good taste? Have eaten at CHH before and tried the fried selections, but this sandwich looks lika a nice change to burgers. thanks ;)

No I hate Fishy too! and this sandwich is not fishey!

[babywewe]

I think with research counter service at WDW should not be feared! I only had Burgers twice the hole week and thats because i just craved them.
UMMM pesco bill fixins bar!

I agree :thumbsup2

That tuna from CHH looks wonderful. I only like tuna on toasted multi-grain bread so it looks right up my alley. One question - do they put a ton of tuna on the sandwich? My experience with restaurant tuna sandwiches is that there's always enough tuna on it for two sandwiches.

I think it is the perfect amount. You will like it. Its the best Tuna sandwich I have ever tasted! and I'm not crazy about Tuna sandwiches.

[2nd childhood]

Thanks again. I've been trying to get my clan to try Tusker House, but they always insist on Flame Tree. Maybe I'll use the A/C as an enticement.;)

[ShannonP]

We'll arrive in WDW on July 15...and head straight to MK...decided we'd just do CS meals that day (and probably many more)...now I KNOW I'll be headed straight to that tuna sandwich...that panini didn't look bad either.

Nothing beats a good sandwich!!

:thanks:

[tinkerbeth]

That Panino from Pinocchio's looks GREAT! I'm actually looking forward to trying more of the CS at Epcot this time round. I was looking through my passporter last night and there are a lot of things I'd like to try. :) The salmon looks good too. I think we had that last time (not on DDP) and were really impressed.

Thanks for posting! Love the pics. :cheer2:

Have fun. I don't remember on the celery, but if it did have celery It is so small you don't even notice it, because I'm not crazy about celery either. It really is a good samwich. :thumbsup2

[heather360]

I love the tuna sandwich at CHH. We had to go 2x last trip because we both enjoyed it so much. DM loved the salmon at tusker house and can't wait to go back there. I talk about the tuna and she still talks about the salmon. :goodvibes

That turkey bacon sanwich looks awesome. I think I need to break our families Pecos Bill/Cosmic Rays tradition and branch out a little!

[Disney owl]

Thanks for good reviews for counter service

[ilovepooh]

Thanks to your review I am adding Tusker House to my list of places to try. Loved the pics too!! That salmon looks great! :sunny:
