The only CS place we've ever eaten at in the MK is cosmic rays. We've had snacks and drinks from snack places, but never lunch/dinner anywhere else. Are we missing out? We love the big variety, but I feel like we should try something new, are we missing out, or are the other MK CS restaurants pretty much the same?

Cosmic Ray's became our favorite after our visit in September. However, we've always loved and enjoyed Columbia Harbor House. They have different sandwiches, salads, fish. We used to like Pinocchio Village Haus until they turned it into mostly a "pizza" place and we don't do Disney (or Florida) pizza. We ate at Pecos Bills a couple of times, but we just don't care for it as a lot of DIS members do (my burger was horrible in September and my DBF's taco salad was a lot of lettuce, a taco shell and a little bitty bit of meat).
 
The only other counter service locations at the Magic Kingdom that I have been to is Pecos Bill's and Columbia Harbour House. While both locations were ok Cosmic Ray's is still my favorite while at the Magic Kingdom.
 
Pecos Bill's was pretty snazzy when we were there. They used to have a brownie dessert thing that was awesome, but it doesn't seem to be on the menu anymore.

CS in MK isn't anything to jump up and down about, but what I've eaten was good food. All of it is easily a step above Fast Food chains.
 

Since it has been 13 years since I have been, I don't have a clue where to eat so I am enjoying hearing all the tips about where and what to eat. I hope you find a GREAT place
 
Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station is really yummy, but is only open from 5-9pm. I have eaten at it on several different trips, and actually waited for it to open two weks ago. Chicken Noodle bowl and Orange Chicken with rice was really good and a nice change of pace from hamburgers.

Pinnochio Haus is good too. They have two different Entree salads, along with Pizza and Chicken Nuggets. Our favorite, although not very healthy, snack there is Figaro Fries -- fries with melted cheese and bacon!!

Go to allearsnet.com go to "dining" and then "menus" under the left hand bar for menus and prices for all parks.

Have fun~~pirate:
 
We like the Tomorrow Land Noodle Station and Casey's (for hot dogs) on Main Street. We end every trip with a meal at Casey's and get ice cream from the parlour across the street and take our final walk down Main Street USA having our ice cream!
 
In all the times we have been there (April, July, September, October), Tomorrowland Noodle Station has NEVER been open. :confused3
 
PECOS BILL!!! The BEST burger in all of WDW!!! Its just the best place and I love it, I'm a Pecos Bill junkie, and darn proud of it! :banana:
 
You must try Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square. They have some stuff that's a little different and good!
 
we absolutely love columbia harbour house... it is actually our favorite cs in mk, ak, or hs. my favorite is the litehouse sandwich. i first read about it- both columbia harbour house and the sandwich itself- years ago on this board, as a matter of fact. at that time (spring 2006), everyone was raving about it on the dis, lol. we just got back from our third trip since then and i think the food is every bit as good as it was the first time. the new england clam chowder is very good, too. the menu is great when you are sick of the typical burgers/ pizza/ places.
 
We like Cosmic Rays. We intend to eat there again this time. We liked the food at Pecos Bills about the same as Cosmic Rays, but the entertainment is better at Cosmic Rays. We have heard good things about Columbia Harbor House and plan to try it this time.

We did NOT like Pinocchio Village House. We do not have high expectations of fine dining at MK CS. As I said above we DO like CR and PB. We were sorely disappointed with both the selection and quality of the food at Pinocchios.
 
I LOVE Casey's, but I love hot dogs.....and for a slightly less harried experience, I like Columbia Harbor House :)
 
Another vote for Columbia Harbor House. Plenty of seating! Food is very good as well.

We also LOVE Casey's :love: Their corndog nuggets are awesome!!!!
 
All the Columbia Harbor House hype made me want to try it. So on our MK day we headed over there and I just LOVED IT! One of my favorite meals of the trip - including TS!
 
Pecos Bills's. Marvelous manned counters set up with goodies to dress up your burger or sandwich...onion, raw or grilled, tomatoes, lettuce,pickles, banana peppers, grilled mushrooms, hot cheese sauce, etc. My favorite place to doll up my burger.
 
We have always had good food at Columbia Harbor House, but still tend to do Cosmic Ray's more often than not. DH and I really like the rotisserie chicken there. I think last time we got the chicken/rib combo and even split it with the kids because it was plenty of food.
 
In all the times we have been there (April, July, September, October), Tomorrowland Noodle Station has NEVER been open. :confused3

We've never been able to catch it open either and we've tried in Sept. Oct, Dec, Jan, and May.:confused3 Same thing with El Pirata. We've never been able to catch it open either.:mad:

Our favorite CS in MK is Columbia Harbour House. We love eating upstairs in the calm and quiet atmosphere. There are always tables up there and it's a great break from the busy park. We also like Cosmic Rays for the chicken/rib platter. When I'm traveling solo down there, one of my favorite things to do on my first day is grab a Casey's hot dog (or corn dog nuggets), sit outside under one of those canopied tables, gaze at the castle, people watch, and listen to the piano player that sits outside. It's a great way to start the trip.
 
I really like Pecos Bill's. The burgers are delicious.

I didn't care for Casey's during our last trip, but everyone else liked it. I thought the hot dogs were very salty and the place could have been tidier than it was. But in fairness it was busy when we were there.

We are going again in July and now I too want to try Cosmic Ray's or the Noodle Station for something different.
