Best and Worst - Quick Service

[Lumpy1106]

Lots of threads related to sit down restaurants - how about Quick Service? Usually expectations are not that high, but what has impressed you and what left you disappointed? Please include a "best" and "worst" if at all possible.
My choices;
Best - AoA, Landscape of Flavors. We ate at least one breakfast, lunch and dinner here and were never disappointed. Meals like the made-to-order pasta were large enough we could share.
Worst - DHS Backlot Express. We liked the theming and there was plenty of seating, but the food quality was not good and neither was the service. Example; my son ordered a special vegan item while I ordered an off-the-menu burger. The burger was ready right away and we could see they just let it sit there getting cold. My son's order finally came up and they forgot about my burger, still just sitting there. It took other people in line to finally convince the CM to give me my burger. That seemed to be the norm while we were there - others were having similar issues.

Best: Satu'li Canteen (LOVEEEEEEEE!!), Tangeriene Cafe both have really good food.

Worst: Doc Bay 7 for breakfast (it was awful and $61 for 4 of us, I know typical for Disney but still)

Best IMHO is the new Smokehouse at the USA pavilion in Epcot. Before that I would have rated the Land pavilion for the number of different choices.

 

[Moliphino]

Worst would be any of the generic burgers/pizza/chicken tenders sorts of places (Cosmic Rays, Backlot, etc).

Best:
Tangierine Cafe
Harambe Market
La Cantina de San Angel
Ronto Roasters
Be Our Guest (lunch)
Satuli
Docking Bay 7 (lunch, at least)

Worst: Satuli Canteen, ABC Commissary

Best: Pecos Bill's @MK for the burritos and the awesome fixin's bar, Katsura Grill @EPCOT for being just simple with ample seating (and no worse than any other Japanese teriyaki carryout), Fairfax Fare @HS for having colorful and tasty rice bowls and Satu'il Canteen @AK for originality.

Worst: Cosmic Ray's @MK for reminding me of the 80's Wendy's commercials (Where's the Beef?), Electric Umbrella @EPCOT (see Cosmic Ray's), Woody's Lunch Box @HS for the lack of seating and the broiling sun melting my otherwise fine turkey sandwich, and Pizzafari @AK for the fact that theme park pizza can be better than that.

Should I talk about the best QS snack places???? My favorite subject. Aloha Isle (Dole Whip), Cheshire Cafe (Cat Tail), Sleepy Hallow (Fruit and Nutella Waffle Sandwich), Lunching Pad (Churros and Slushies)... I'm not going to lie. In the other parks, it's just a mix of booze, popcorn and churros. And an occasional random cart at another unnecessary Epcot festival....

Best - Polite Pig, BOG breakfast

Worst - some generic hamburger Etc. joint in AK. I thought it was in Asia but can’t remember and I can’t find a menu that looks like it. Hockey pucks on a bun

My three favorite Qwik Serve are:

1.) Casey's. I enjoy the footlong hotdogs that can be enjoyed with a live piano player.
2.) Sleep Hollow. At lunch, they serve a savory hot'n'sour fried chicken on a waffle with broccoli slaw.
3.) Trilo-Bites. Buffalo Chicken over Fresh Potato Chips.

[TravelandLeisure]

Best: Satuli Canteen; D Luxe Burger; Be Our Guest (lunch); Yorkshire Fish in Epcot

Perhaps Restaurantosaurus? Sounds a lot like the dreaded Cosmic Ray's or Electric Umbrella.

 

[butterscotchcollins]

Breakfast-centric Best: Docking Bay 7 (that spicy orange cinnamon roll was divine)

Breakfast-centric Worst: BOG (Atmosphere is a 10, Food is a -14)

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I forgot to add one dishonorable mention for worst- Tomorrowland Terrace - a beautiful, sleek outdoor restaurant should have a better menu. Last time I was there I got the chicken salad - it was more like buffalo ranch sauce soup. Blech. And yes, the dreaded disney QS burger....

Idon't think so as we were very close to Kali River Rapids. I do remember that I couldn't tell the name of the place while looking at the front - it must have been well-hidden

Just realized that I didn't mention worst when I posted above about best. I'd agree with several of the PP's that the generic burger places are on that list. Even the ones with a fixings bar. I don't care how much you can put on your burger at the fixings bar, it needs to be a good burger to start with.

 

[nkereina]

Best: Flame Tree BBQ, but we hate the seating area (BIRDS!)
Worst: Everything at DHS. Haven't found a DHS QS that we like yet, so we always plan a TS there. Ironically, two of our favorite TS's on property are in DHS (Sci Fi and 50s PT).

 

[Eeyore daily]

Worst: Scat's Cat Club at POFQ. Worst service I've ever had from a quick service/snack place.
Best: 50's Prime Time for the simple fact they made a gluten free fried chicken.

Agree 100%. Would also add Pecos Bills to the Best list.

I love the buffalo chicken tots at MK.
