Best Quick Service at Value Resorts

[Erica Ladd]

Planning on exploring resorts next trip and maybe getting a meal or two while hopping. Which Values (and moderates) have the best quick service? Are they all food courts?

Does it have to be a value or moderate resort? The Riviera is a beautiful resort to visit, and their counter service, Primo Piatti, is my current favorite. Once Port Orleans French Quarter is open again, Sassagoula Floatworks is also fantastic.

Edited to add - Sassagoula is more of a food court, and Primo Piatti is not.

It used to be that Landscape of Flavors at Art of Animation was an interesting value resort food court, however, it currently has the same menu as Pop Century and All-Star Movies.

No it certainly does not have to be a value resort but those are probably the ones I’d be least likely to visit just because so I figured I’d ask which ones are the best in terms of food for when I make my visits!

I’m staying at CSR in October and I plan to eat the quick service there, I’ve heard good things. When are you going? If it’s after my trip, I’ll let you know.

For quick service dining at value or moderate resorts my mind went to sassagoula at port Orleans French quarters, landscape of flavor at art of animations, and pj southern takeout at fort wilderness.

I recall Boatwright Hall as an eatery I had interest in attached to a moderate or value resort. Don’t recall which resort it’s located at though and never ate there. Did trek over to Sebastian’s and it was worth the travel.
We rarely eat at QS places, at home or on vacation, due to lifestyle choices.

Boatwright's Dining Hall is at Port Orleans Riverside and is a table service restaurant, but there is also Riverside Mill Food Court and also the River Roost lounge at that resort. The food court is good, but it's nothing spectacluar. I havent eaten at Boatwrights in many, many years (I was a kid) but it has a good reputation. River Roost is where Yeeha Bob used to play and it was fantastic!

As was mentioned by jcarwash, A of A's Landscape of Flavor has been downgraded. It's food court is now the same as Pop Century and, in my opinion, there is no need to make a special visit unless one wants to walk the trail @ Hourglass Lake.

Honestly the menu's of most the resorts are really lacking since covid...we definitely miss the variety. I would say none of the value/moderates are worth traveling for.

We tried the food court at pop and it just wasn't very good. Tried a burger and chicken strips. I would think they would be the same as everywhere else, but they weren't

The food court at CSR was really good. We ate breakfast there twice and loved it. We ate lunch at pool one day, and it was good too.

Caribbean Beach Resort used to have great QS meals, not sure how it's faring since the pandemic started. We're keeping our fingers crossed that Spyglass Grill reopens soon, and booked an ADR at Sebastian's (which is about an 8 minute walk from the Skyliner station).

When we've stayed at OKW, we've often driven over to Riverside's food court to eat. Next trip, I plan to Skyliner around and stop somewhere to eat. Sorry to hear that Pop's food court isn't too good, since I saw a youtube video about the pathway from the Skyliner Station over to Pop and it looked nice. Was thinking of maybe going over for Walt's Chilli in a bread bowl. Last time I ate at Primo Plato, the Greek Salad, and I enjoyed that.

While I think the Pop and AofA food courts are not as good as previously (especially AofA), there are still some good options within. I enjoyed the pot roast and I liked their roasted turkey dinner.

Popping back into this thread to say that when we were down in September we took the Skyliner for lunch at Caribbean Beach, and the Cuban Sandwich was really good (we had it on gluten free bread, I would imagine the regular bread would be even better).
