Best Quick Service or Snack?

[DlandersinWdw]

There's a really interesting thread going around about the worst dining experience you've had at WDW. What about best quick service or snack? We're 98 days out from our first trip and love imagining what we're in for.

Unfortunately, the best QS meal I had has now been taken off the menu - the seafood mac and cheese at CHH.

I am a huge fan of the roast beef sandwich at BOG. We have lunch ADR's there twice in our upcoming 5 day trip so we can have that sandwich.

I really think guest want something beyond the burgers and fries.
MK - HCC is the only QS we will eat at in the MK. Seafood options
EC is our favorite for food. Tangerine Café is wonderful and an all time fave on this board. I also feel like I am eating somewhat healthy.
The French Boulangerie they offer quiche, sandwiches and decadent desserts.
Sunshine Seasons is a food court with variety.
Kringla Bakery - great soup and sandwich, They have added things to their menu and I cant wait to try them.

Disney Springs - Lots of new options, but I do like Cooks, Earl of Sandwich and Wolfgang Pucks Express.
POR - I think they have the best food court of all the resorts. Capt Cooks at the Poly is a sentimental fave.

Disney Springs - Wolfgang Puck Express is great. I love Earl of Sandwich, but it never agrees with my husband (he had his gallbladder removed a few years ago and some things just don't work for him anymore). We love Ghirardelli sundaes (the brownie sundae is best), but we have one in Chicago we can go to anytime, so we don't usually go at Disney Springs. We enjoy splitting a caramel apple from Goofy's Candy Company. They will cut it for you if you ask.

MK - BOG lunch is fabulous. BOG breakfast is something I would call poor value. We were unimpressed with Columbia Harbor House, but we went at lunch time when it was packed, so YMMV.

Epcot - I thought the Cronut just outside the Canada pavilion was delicious, and I also really enjoy Karamell Kuche in Germany for snacks. We liked Kakigori with the sweet milk topping in Japan.

Hollywood Studios - They have very poor quick service in my opinion. We usually pack peanut butter sandwiches and eat a table service meal outside of the park. We do, however, love some of the snacks. The Carrot Cake Cookie is great, and the Butterfinger Cupcake is the best I've ever had. You can find it at both Starring Rolls and at Trolley Car Cafe (Starbucks). At TCC it's renamed - I can't remember the exact wording but it has Toffee in the name.

Everything at the Main Street Parlor in MK is delicious! I had the make your own ice cream sandwich and the the kids loved their cones with "Mickey ears." I think DH had a root beer float, maybe.

WGP Express and Bongos Express at DSp were the best QS meals of our trip!

 

[TavieP]

This isn't an all-time best but my friend and I discovered something DELICIOUS last year at the Japan pavilion.

1. Buy a cherry kakigori
2. Buy a frozen kirin
3. Combine
4. Heaven!

MK - I like Pecos Bills
AK - Yak and Yeti
HS - Backlot Express isn't bad and there are all sorts of options at Fairfax Fare
Epcot - anywhere in WS but I'm partial to Tangeriene Cafe

As far as snack, I'm not much of a snacker but do enjoy:
Writer's Stop in HS
Ice Cream cone from France in Epcot
Skool Bread in Norway in Epcot
Guac at La Cava in Mexico
Every park has fruit stands I stop at

I loved the ribs and chicken combo from Cosmic Rays. My hubby and I split it. It was really good. I also loved the giant sandwich and cupcakes from Starring Rolls in DHS. Also, Wolfgang Puck express is great! I liked it better than Earl of Sandwich.

Sad to hear this, I loved the seafood mac and cheese there!! Also a great place to chill and take a break at MK

One of my favorite snacks is the rice cream from the bakery in Norway and the ice cream macarons from France.

 

[mckennarose]

Epcot: The melon kakigori in Japan is one of our favorites. So refreshing while walking around WS.
Macaroon ice cream sandwiches at L’Artisan des Glaces in France
Sunshine Seasons is always a stop for us, so many good choices

AK: Flame Tree ribs are great

MK: BOG roast beef sandwich is delicious.

Puck Express in DS Marketplace , Cooke's of Dublin also in DS. We also like CHH. We tend to do TS at lunch as we are no longer park commandos and staying at POFQ makes getting to DS easy for dinner or lunch from a morning in the parks. We eat there usully 4 to 5 times on a 6 night trip.
As for snacks are 2 must do's are popcorn in any park and Ghiradelli's ice cream with fudge or chocolate sauce.

CROOOONUUUUT!! Boohoo, it's so delicious, I want it now....

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

I think Wolfgang Puck Express in Downtown Disney is by far the best QS at Disney. It is table service quality and there are tons of options.

I used to think so too, but when we were were there in Feb it was a bit meh. Might've been an off night though.

I'm not a big fan of DS but did go to DTD a few years back and decided to try Wolfgang's to see what all the fuss was about. We weren't impressed either.

DS:
WPE: Meatball Pizza

MK
BOG: Tuna Nicoise Salad, french onion soup, strawberry cupcake
Pecos Bills: The "bowl of meat" taco salad that you could dress up at the fixins bar. Since the menu has changed, I'm hoping that I can find something similar.
Aloha Isle: Dole Whip, of course
Pinocchio Village Haus: The late great Figaro Fries, which have apparently reappeared at The Plaza. Can't wait to see if they are the same thing.

Epcot
Shawarma platter at Tangierine Cafe
Macaroons and Baguettes from Les Halles
Dark Chocolate covered caramel square at Karamell Kuche
Soft Pretzel from Sommerfest

DHS
Peanut Butter-chocolate cup cake at Starring Rolls

AK
Side orders of chicken fried rice and egg rolls at Y&Y CS. Makes a super cheap lunch.

CR
Mexican coffee cupcake at Contempo Cafe (seasonal)

I will list my favorite Quick Service Restaurant (just restaurant not meal because right now I'm thinking about overall food quality and atmosphere), and snack for each park:

MK
QS Restaurant: Columbia Harbor House (BOG is sort of a hybrid so I'm not counting it for the purposes of this question). Food quality is good, with a good value. Sit upstairs, it's so quiet and relaxing with big tables/chairs. Upstairs also has nice views.
Snack: Dole Whip Float, no question. Plus Sunshine Tree Terrace is in my favorite part of the park Adventureland!

EPCOT Center
QS Restaurant: Sunshine Seasons, great variety and fresh! Seared tuna salad or rotisserie chicken both awesome!
Snack: Ice Cream Macaron Sandwich in France Pavilion, Awesome and I always eat it by the fountain.

HS
QS Restaurant: Nope can't pick one right now, just not good in my opinion
Snack: Peanut-butter Cupcake from Starring Rolls (food trucks were new when I was there in the summer, might become my favorite soon!)

AK
QS Restaurant: Flame Tree BBQ, love the barbecue in a large shaded area
Snack: Adult Dole Whip! Amazing dark rum added to your Dole Whip!!

 

[leebee]

MK: Pecos Bill's. We used to do Tortuga Tavern when it was open. I like CHH but DD23 doesn't eat seafood- can't even tolerate the smell.
MK snack: Dole Whip

Epcot: Tangierine Cafe
Epcot snack: Sweet Pretzel from Kringola bakery in the old Norway pavilion. Does the Grey Goose slushy in France count?

HS: There isn't a good option, now that Backlot Express has closed. I'm not sure why they can't come up with something good here, but...
HS snack: Meh... again, HS isn't our favorite place to eat. We like the cupcakes at Starring Rolls but they are a bit much and a bit sweet, so we never finish them (even when we are sharing one between 2 people). I wonder if you can get milkshakes "to go" from 50s Prime Time...

AK: Toss up between Flame Tree BBQ and Pizzafari. We like the fried rice and such at Y&Y, but the outside seating is weird, and there are often bees circling the area.
AK snack: Frozen banana for me, Mickey Bar for DD

We'll eat Mickey Bars anywhere, any time!

Does the Grey Goose slushy in France count?

In my book, it does!!
