Any "must experience" unique quick service places?

Sorry if this is a silly question. I've never been to Disney World before and I'm currently in the process of planning my honeymoon there this coming April. My future wife and I have decided on and reserved all of our dinners at table service restaurants. We picked a lot of restaurants based on their atmosphere and suggestions from friends and people on this site. We don't care too much about the quality of food, more so on just having a fun experience.

With that said, we plan to do more quick service stuff for lunches to give us more time at parks during the day. Are there any quick service options that are above the rest? That offer any sort of fun atmosphere that two people, who are mostly looking to just experience the unique things Disney has to offer would enjoy?

Thanks!
 
I highly recommend Pinnochio's in Magic Kingdom. If you grab a table upstairs, you can watch the It's a Small World boats go by.
Also, pretty much all countries in the world showcase have great options for both quick service and snacks.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! :butterfly
 
The Pinocchio Village Haus overlooks It's a Small World.

Cosmic Ray's features performances by Sonny Eclipse (the food is meh).

Be sure to stop by Aloha Isle at Magic Kingdom for a Dole Whip (or Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Animal Kingdom for Dole Whip WITH RUM.)
 

If you are on the DDP BOG for lunch as a QS is a great use of a credit. Plus the fact that you are getting to eat your QS lunch in a castle.

My family likes Flame Tree BBQ in AK, the QS place in France and Starring Rolls in HS. Pinocchio's is good as well.

Are you going to Disney Springs? Wolfgang Express, Earl of Sandwich and the food trucks can make for a nice quick lunch.
 
I LOVE me some sandwiches...I may put Earl of Sandwich on our list. Pinocchio Village Haus looks like a great suggestion. May check out Cosmic Ray's as it looks like a place we'd just want to see for the fun of it. Thanks for all the suggestions so far!
 
@MaC410 - If you LOVE sandwiches, then you REALLY must try Earl of Sandwich. Soooo yummy. It is our first Disney meal tradition!
 
I +4 for Earl of Sandwich...their Holiday Turkey sandwich (turkey, cornbread stuffing, turkey gravy, cranberry relish and mayo) is what dreams are made of...lol!
 
Regarding Earl of Sandwich, when's the best time to eat there to attempt to avoid long lines? I've heard it's really popular and the lines can be quite long.
 
Re Flametree BBQ in Animal Kingdom, be sure to walk down the steps/walkway to the pavilions closest to the water for the best atmosphere & views. Once you exit the counter with your tray of food, turn right and then go straight for as long as possible until you are forced to turn left toward the pavilion near the water. Enjoy!
 
Cantina de San Angel in Mexico. Entrees aren't my favorite, but margaritas, and chips and guacamole overlooking the water are so nice!

While the lines look long, they have a good system for moving orders forward. They do a great job processing orders through so wait in line is usually not a big problem. More problematic is finding a place to sit down to eat. If at all possible, go early or late for best chance at a table. Or consider taking your order to go and eating outside in Disney Springs if you can't arrange your eating schedule better. Enjoy! ps my fav is the Full Montague
 
Tangierine Cafe in Morocco at EPCOT is easily my favorite.

The husband and I always split the slider combo (three sizeble pita pockets - one falafel, one chicken, one lamb) which comes with tabouleh, hummus and lentil salad. We usually get an extra side of one of those salads as well as an order of olives. The whole bill comes to MAYBE $20 and is one of the best meals we eat every visit.

Oh, that's good to know! Thanks!
 
Wolfgang Puck Express. Yummmmmm. BBQ chicken pizza and creme brulee. I hate to repeat myself, but yummmmmmmm. :)
 
I really like the Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the French section of Epcot. Good sandwiches. Great pastries and croissants. And the line moves along. And as Disney goes, good value for money.
