Best counter services in all the parks.

[CTRalways]

Which are the best counter service restaurants in all the parks? We are Disney vets, but would love to hear your opinions.

I like Columbia Harbour House in the Magic Kingdom, Flame Tree BBQ in the Animal Kingdom, the new one in Epcot (sorry I don't remember the name offhand....Sunshine something), and I've never eaten counter service at MGM so no recommendations there. I'm curious what others favorites are as well.

For MK, it depends on our mood. Our favs are:

Casey's on Main Street if we feel like a hot dog and a great view of the castle;
Pinocchio's Village Haus if we feel like an Italian hoagie and Figero fries;
Columbia Harbor House if we feel like a tuna sandwich.

We've tried other things at these restaurants and have not been impressed. However, we loved those specific things.

Animal Kingdom lost Tusker House, which I agree was the best CS in all of Disney. We just returned and tried the Italian panninis at Pizzafari and they were very, very good. We would not hesitate to return there. I'm a stone's throw from GA, and real barbeque is on every corner in my town. That basically left us with either a turkey leg or Pizzafari in AK.

Epcot, wow, just about everywhere has good CS. DH & I usually skip breakfast altogether on our Epcot day and just share small CS items in every country, i.e., chips in England, lamb sandwich in Morocco, brat with kraut in Germany and something sweet in Norway.

MGM - never had anything decent in the way of CS there. Plan for a TS lunch or just do a big late breakfast with an early dinner and make do with a churros or ice cream to fill the gap.

Ours used to be Tusker House (AK), but since they've closed it, our next fax would be Columbia Harbor House (MK). The menu is good and the atmosphere is quiet, a nice break from the hustle of the park.

MK: Caseys for a hot dog. Kids love that place!
Pinocchios- we just found this place the last time we went and loved it.
Pecos Bills

AK: Flame Tree!!! Our favorite CS in the World.
BEST ONION RINGS EVER!!!!

MGM: Pizza Planet (we really like the Pizzas that Disney has, they are the same ones you can get at the resorts)

EPCOT: Love the Nachos plate in Mexico
Fish n Chips in England
DH loves getting a Brat in Germany
Sunshine place...I think its called by Soarin has a nice variety
