Hi, we are going Aug 30 so I still have some time but I've heard so many mixed reviews on the counter service places that I would like to hear what everyone's favorites and not so favorites were please.:flower3:

I'm not expecting gourmet at a counter but I guess food quality and cleanliness are most important! We have FD so I'm not worried about the money.

Thanks!:thumbsup2
 
Our favorites are:

MK - Columbia Harbour House(Tuna Sandwich) & Casey's
EPCOT - Sunshine Seasons - large variety
DHS - Backlot Express(Grilled Turkey Sandwich)
AK - Can't recommend anything
 
AKL Flametree if you like chicken

Downtown Disney - Earl of Sandwich. The best sandwich in all of Disney.


Everthing else I have eaten this year has been gross. I am not trying to be rude. I do not know what is going on.

I have to edit my post because I did not include Epcot where you can find lots of food at World Showcase. Just check out the menus.
 

Our favorites are:

Magic Kingdom -- Columbia Harbor House and Pinocchio Village Haus (although PVH took away my turkey panini and it may drop off the list)
Epcot -- Sunshine Seasons
Animal Kingdom -- Flame Tree Barbecue
Studios -- NONE
 
MK - Cosmic Rays (especially for lunch), Pecos, and Pinnochio's

Epcot - The stand at Mexico, Seasons

HS - Backlot, and STAY AWAY from the Commissary!

DAK - To be honest, I have never eaten anywhere except Pizzafari and I was never too impressed with it.
 
MK - pecos bill (fixin bar is amazing) or colombia harbor house (seating upstairs is quiet and peaceful)

Epcot - if you like chinese, lotus blossom is excellent

HS - not impressed with much here

AK - pizzafari
 
MK - Casey's, CHH
RIP Dear Pinocchio's Village Haus - no Figaro Fries or Panini = no reason for me to go back
Flavorless dry cardboard burger at Pecos Bills and fatty and ultra rich meals mixed with more cardboard burgers at Cosmic Ray's have removed them from our rotation

Epcot - WS - everywhere!!

Animal Kingdom - We just go back to our room or DTD since we're not fans of smoked meat and don't like the looks of the menu at Flame Tree

Studios - Backlot Express was OK. We did NOT like Pizza Planet or ABC Commissary.
 
AK - Flame Tree & Pizzafari
DS - Toy Story Pizza Planet & Rosie's
MK - Cosmic Ray's & Columbia Harbour House
 
AK - Flametree BBQ
MK - Columbia Harbour House or Pecos Bills
EPCOT - I haven't eaten much CS here, but I remember enjoying the Patisserie (?) in France. We do Sunshine Seasons for breakfast. Oh, and I remember enjoying the Cantina in Mexico (or maybe it was just the margaritas I really enjoyed ;) )
HS - I haven't found anything memorable here
 
MK: Columbia Harbor House, love the tuna sandwich. Used to love the ham sandwich but its gone. I also love the pulled pork sandwich at Cosmic Rays and Pecos Bills is tasty. Pinnochio's Village Haus is off my list. No pannini, no figaro fries, no me!

AK: Flame Tree BBQ is very good, we love to eat down by the water. We also enjoyed Yak and Yeti last month. But its all outdoor seating and shade goes fast. Why they didn't put something up to shade the whole place is so dumb. But the food was pretty good.

MGM: ABC Commissary. I really loved their cuban sandwich with the plantain chips. I used to hate this place, last month it was really good.

Epcot: Yakitori House, I love to eat outside there, its so peaceful with the fountain and pond. I also love Tangerine Cafe in Morroco and the place in France is good too. And the Sunshine Seasons thing in the Land Pavillion also has some interesting choices. Epcot is full of excellent counter service.

DTD: Wolfgang Puck Express. If you are on the DDP, this is hands down the best cs deal in all of WDW. We ate there four times last month, it was very good. If you are paying cash, its more pricey than other cs options but you get more. And the portions are huge so its great for sharing. I loved their pizzas, salads and thier four cheese mac and cheese was to die for. Also in DTD, the Earl of Sandwich is very good.
 
Thanks so much everyone!:thumbsup2 I know the meals are free but I hate going to eat somewhere, getting done and thinking, "eww, why did I just eat that???" At least now I feel like I have some good options, especially the ones that seem to be repeated throughout the posts! Thanks again!:flower3:

Please keep the suggestions coming!
 
MGM: ABC Commissary. I really loved their cuban sandwich with the plantain chips. I used to hate this place, last month it was really good.

We actually ate here for the first time two weeks ago. Not heavily themed, but really good food. DW had the fried fish. I tried the chicken curry bowl. And we both enjoyed the strawberry parfait. Nice change of pace from the standard burger/nuggets options. I've got to 'second' this one !
 
Mk- this is the best park for CS we like Rays, Peco's and this trip we tried Columbia House and liked that as well.

Hs- Backlot is the only one that I even somewhat like

EPCOT- Sunshine Seasons is very good as well as the fish n chip stand at UK, Mexican stand, Kringla Bakery in Norway and the Cafe in france but the seating is hard here. My Fav is Tangiene cafe in Morrocco.

AK- We like Flame tree BBQ alright but never tried Yak n Yeti.
 
Where in Epcot is Sunshine Seasons and what do they have there?

It's in the Land by Soarin'

They have a wide variety of salads, grilled items, Asian items, and a pretty nice bakery. It's one of the few CS's that you don't get a crummy dessert at when on the DDP :)
 
This is a great thread! Thank you all! It is so hard to decide where to go though... so many choices not enough time. I guess it just means we will have to go back again soon.
 
Don't forget about the numerous CS options OUTSIDE of the Parks....
Our fave is Capt'n Cooks at the Poly!
