Best and Worst - Quick Service

Best - Polite Pig & Satu´li Canteen, I also like the breakfast & lunch at be our guest. Maybe not the best food and very pricey, but imo a good option for the DDP and an early park entrance (in case of early breakfast reservation)
Worst - Cosmic Rays, no comments needed I guess
Forgot to mention Be Our Guest lunch. We went a few years ago (like 5 years?) and thought it was one of the better lunches we had. I read that there have been some changes to the food since we visited but it was a pretty good deal on the dining plan (but not as good as Wolfgang Puck Express).
 
Best is Casey's Corner, as long as you use express ordering. Can be hard to get seating, but the hot dogs are good.
Worst is Cosmic Ray's, not much more to say about Ray's.
 
Best - Satu'li Canteen, nothing else is even a close 2nd IMO.

Worst:
BoG for most overrated.
Backlot Express, Commisary, Pinocchios, Pizzafari, and PizzeRizzo all tied for most meh.
Sunshine Seasons gets an honourable mention for being a pain in the butt when taking a family.
 

So many choices to pick from.

Best
  • Satuli - creative and always good meal
  • Flame Tree - excellent bbq and plenty of it
  • La Cantina de San Angle - excellent tacos but small good taste
  • Fish and Chips in England - small portion but fresh and light
  • Ronto Roasters - something different chicken was good
  • Earl of Sandwich - excellent choices and food
  • Columbia harbor House - good menu and food
Worst
  • Backlot Express - keeps getting worse
  • Cosmic Rays - menus just getting blah
  • Tortuga - bad menu choice
  • Casey’s - wanted to like it but worst hotdog in a while
  • Electric Umbrella- menu all over the place and meh food
  • Tomorrow Land Terrace - never open and bad when it is
 
Best - anywhere in WS in Epcot. Seriously, I like them all.
Worst - Sunshine Seasons. The food is just o.k. and it's always so crowded and loud in there.

Well we aren't big on QS, let me say that up front :duck:But some we do like:
-Capt. Cook's at the Poly
-Geyser Point
-Artists Palatte at SSR
-Satuli
-La Cantina De San Angel
-Sommerfest

Never again:
-anywhere QS in HS
-pretty much anywhere in AK other than Satuli or possibly Harambe Market
 
I also loved Be Our Guest lunch. Of course they could plunk down anything in front of me in that ballroom and I'd think it was wonderful LOL
My Fiancee loves the table by the window where it is snowing. We have been lucky enough to get that table all three lunches we have eaten there.
 
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)

I loved Satu'li (tried it for the first time on my last trip) and Tangierine is a long-time must-do fave.

I did not try DB7 for breakfast, but loved my two lunches there (pot roast, chicken salad and both desserts).

THE breakfast spot is Ronto Roasters for a Ronto Morning Wrap and a Tatooine Sunset to wash it down! Those were my Food Finds of the Trip this year.
 
This is only based on one trip.
Best-Polite Pig and Satuli Canteen
Worst-ABC Commissary (It wasn't horrible but it wasn't anything special. All the other quick service that we had on the trip was much better. Plus it was really crowded and we had a hard time finding a table etc.)
 
Best: Satu'li canteen, Sunshine Seasons, Columbia Harbor house and pretty much anywhere in WS
Worst: Cosmic Rays
 
I'm going to just preface this by saying I don't like Disney quick service restaurants. They are loud and chaotic and sometimes outdoors, which for Florida in summer is just plain awful. It's always a hassle for our family of 5 to find a table that fits us, and once we do pounce on an open one, it's usually kind of grimy and/or sticky. I hate that they no longer give you cup lids--it is HARD to carry a tray with 5 drinks filled to the brim, and even harder for little kids to drink from said cups without spilling (probably explains why the tables are usually sticky). And the food... the quality is all over the place, and you can occasionally find some decent eats, but there are also some real stinkers.

"Best"
Saluti Canteen:
This restaurant is gorgeous and its food tastes like real food. This is the only counter service restaurant that I actually look forward to eating at.
Columbia Harbor House: Proof that it's hard to screw up fried shrimp. Though the lobster roll was just nasty--99% lettuce and mayo, 1% lobster.
Kringla Bakery: High marks for having incredibly authentic and delicious baked goods. Low marks for having virtually no seating and hardly any main courses, so I'm not sure this really qualifies as quick service rather than a snack shop.

Worst
Cosmic Rays
: The burger patties contain what I can only guess is a weird blend of paper pulp, gristle and pigs bladders--definitely not meat. And the toppings bar was such a total mess I was scared to eat from it: it looked like that trash compactor in Star Wars Episode VI that maybe has some sort of monster living in its depths... just waiting to grab anyone who approaches and drag it under the convoluted mess of pickles, onions, and shredded lettuce.
Pinocchio's pizza: both DH and I agreed that what is served here is NOT pizza. The tomato sauce was wayyy too sweet, the cheese was so sparse it was like someone sprinkled dried parmesan in the general direction of the "pizza", with a crust that was half raw dough, half cardboard.
That mexican place in epcot: So unmemorable, I can't even remember its name. Or what I ate (aside from the fact that it involved a corn tortilla that was soggy and cold and greasy all at the same time). At least it has margaritas.
 
Best:Satuli Canteen

Worst :Yak and Yeti. I hear their TS is good, but my sweet and sour chicken was literally stale chicken nuggets in a tasteless orange goo.
 
Best: Columbia Harbour House. I think you get good bang for your buck there and the interior is nice. I feel like it also handles large crowds well in comparison to some other places.

Worst: Cosmic Ray's. For how busy the place always seems to be, it just doesn't really offer anything special.
 
Best:
MK ~ Columbia Harbor House
EP ~ Yorkshire County Fish Shop
HS ~ ?? Needing to try Ronto Roasters
AK ~ Satu’li Canteen

Worst:
MK ~ Cosmic Rays (I won’t go back after 2012 incident with a huge spider/cobweb in dining area, disgusting!)
EP ~ Lotus Blossom
HS ~ Fairfax Fare
AK ~ Flame Tree BBQ (I don’t get the love of this place, sorry. Found food fatty and greasy. 😬)


Overall Winner: Satu’li Canteen
Overall Loser: Cosmic Rays
 
Best is Satu’li by a landslide. Worst definitely is Cosmic Rays.
A second best just for nostalgia is Casey’s Corner.
the second worst is Be Our Guest, over priced and the food is not worth the hype.
 
Best:
Flame Tree (DH loves it and we love the seating area - birds included)
Columbia harbor house: we can always get a seat!

Worst:
I'll have to agree with most people here nowhere in HS. Just bad food choices all around.
