Best Counter Service

[kleckner]

I know I saw this one a while back but I cannot find it through the search.

What do you consider to be the best two counter services in each park?

Looking forward to your replies.

Sam

Two per park? Hmmm...

MK
Pecos Bill's
Not sure of a second, possibly Cosmic Rays but debateable.

Epcot
Sunshine Seasons for choices
Liberty Inn is a good second choice, it really depends on what you want since every country serves different items.

DHS
No idea, never ate counter there.

AK
Flame Tree BBQ is the best.
Pizzafari has air conditioning.

These are our favorites:

MK : Pecos Bills , Columbia Harbor House

Epcot : Sunshine Seasons , Elecric Umbrella

HS : Studio Catering Co. , Backlot Express

AK : Flametree BBQ , Yak & Yeti Cafe

Happy Eating!!!!

 

[Hootch]

MK - Pecos Bill's and Columbia Harbor House

Epcot - strongest selection - Sunshine Seasons and and Tangierine Cafe. There are are a number of solid choices. Pick out a cuisine you like and try it.

DHS - weakest selection - Studio Catering and Backlot Express

DAK - Flame Tree and Pizzafari

 

[daisygirl902]

MK - Caseys or Pecos Bills
EPCOT - Sunshine Seasons or Tangierine Cafe (morocco - sooooo good!)
DHS - Toluca Turkey Leg Cart (great Toluca Salad!) or Pizza Planet (so so food but great atmosphere)
AK - Flametree BBQ or Flametree BBQ (I love this place - best ribs EVER...although I really miss the cornbread!)

 

[1stTimeDisneyer]

MK: Cosmic Rays and Pecos, DH likes Casey's too

Epcot: The Mexican CS or we leave and go to ESPN and Pay out of pocket

DHS: Never had CS here. We always take the boat to Beaches and Cream and Pay Out of Pocket.

Animal Kingdom: Picnic In the Park and Pizzafari. I really want to try Flametree next time.

MK-Columbia Harbor House (Tuna Sandwich,yum!, Vegetarian Chili & Fried Shrimp Basket). Cosmic Rays (Turkey Bacon Wrap & BBQ Pork Sandwich)
Epcot-Tangeriene Cafe (Schwarma Platter) Sunshine Seasons (Roasted Beet Salad, Turkey on Foccacia & Gingered Beef w/ Noodles)
AK-Yak & Yeti (Hit or miss, Noodles w/ Shrimp) 1/2 day park
DHS-Popcorn, Pretzel & Fresh Fruit at stands,that's the extent of it. They need decent counter service, right now they don't have it.
DTD-Earl of Sandwhich (Ham & Swiss, Tuna Melt and Tomato Soup)

I don't eat Disney burgers anymore, they are never hot enough to get past the texture of the meat (?)

Looking forward to it all in February, enjoy!

For HS: we ate at starring rolls and it was amazing. Turkey foccaccia sandwich could have been out of any specialty sandwich store in NY. The cupcakes and choc choc chip muffins are delicious and come as a snack. Plus you also get chips or a piece of fruit. It was surprisingly great.
The kids did not like the pizza at pizza planet.

we ate at hurricaine hannah's alot for counter since it was our hotel. The chicken flatbred wrat is really good plus the burgers are the same from beaches and cream

 

[Pakey]

MK: Columbia Harbor House and Cosmic Rays
AK: Flame Tree and Yak/Yeti (Anapandur Cafe or something like that)
Epcot: Tangierine Cafe and Sunshine Seasons
DHS: Nothing
DTD: Wolfgang Puck's Express and Earl of Sandwich

My favorite dish out of all is the chicken platter at Tangierine Cafe.

We tried Flame Tree BBQ last week when we were at AK and loved it!!

We never got around to trying Pecos Bill in MK, want to do that some time.. usually our kids see Casey's and go in for hotdogs, lol.

At DHS, we've tried backlot express... didn't like Pizza place much.

Epcot is the sunshine seasons.

[Minnie824]

all time best is france counter service! SO good.

MK -> Caseys & Cosmic Rays
EP -> France & Norway
AK -> Flame tree & Yak & Yeti
HS -> Starring Rolls

 

[eventamy]

HMMMM, 2 huh? Not always easy! I definitely have my favorites though!

MK: Columbia Harbour House is #1 by far! MMM, Lighthouse Sandwich, Chowder, Fish 'n Chips! #2 is Casey's because my DH loves the dogs!

Epcot - Sunshine Seasons is my #1 CS in all of WDW! Seared Tuna Salad, Roasted Beet Salad, Turkey/ham Sandwich on Foccacia, California Roll....
#2 is a tie between the French Bakery (baguette and cheese plate!) and the bakery in Norway (sandwiches and desserts!)

DHS - Starring Rolls or Studio catering. We usually do lunch at Sci-Fi though, we find it reasonably priced if you stick with burgers and fries, last year we spent only a little bit more there then we did at Sunshine Seasons and you get to sit in cars and watch the movie reels!

AK: Nothing. But I do like getting the cheese plate from the Harambe fruit market

 

[msce2]

AK - Flame Tree BBQ, although my Dsis's swear by Yak & Yeti CS
EP FW - Sunshine Seasons
EP WS - Tangierine Cafe
MK - Columbia Harbor House
DHS - Starring Rolls

Didn't catch where you were staying, but we really enjoyed the Boardwalk Bakery.

I have to say Ditto to all of the above except DHS. There is not a single cs I would subject my taste buds to in that park; especially ABC Commissary. The Cuban sandwich they serve is the worst supposedly edible object I have ever parted my lips for.

 

[Mysteria]

MK - Columbia Harbor House, Cosmic Ray's. I think CHH is great not just for the food but once you are sitting it almost has the feel of a table service.

Epcot - Sunshine Seasons and Electric Umbrella. I have never tried World Showcase CS other than at the Food and Wine festival. There are just too many good table service places.

AK - Flame Tree BBQ, Pizzafari but a distant second

DHS - None

DTD - Earl of Sandwich

Resort counter service:
I haven't tried enough different ones to have enough to compare. I have tried them at value-deluxe though. Value resorts offer the best selection and I've never had anything horrible. It's ranged from passable to wow I wasn't expecting that from a resort counter service.

 

[Loopner]

MK = Columbia Harbour House & Cosmic Rays

Epcot = We hardly ever eat lunch here! We're going to try Sunshine Seasons next time or the Mexican CS one.

DHS = Backlot Express or the McDs fries by Sunset Ranch Market

AK = Flame Tree. We're trying out Pizzafari this upcoming trip.
