Counter Service Restaurant Recommendations?

[tanmar]

I'm looking for some recommendations of CS Restaurants at all of the parks -

MK, Epcot, AK, MGM

 

[dixiedizfan]

MK - Columbia Harbour House

EPCOT - Yorkshire Fish & Chips

AK - Flame Tree BBQ

MGM -

 

[CDSTapisRouge]

Here is my list for each park

MK- Cosmic Rays, most options for those that are not looking for just a burger

AK- Tusker House and Pizzafari never can decide between those two. But Tusker House usually wins.

Epcot- Yakatori House (in Japan) but if you are looking for basic food options, Sunshine Season (the food court in the Land) great options for everyone.

MGM- I am not really a fan of the quick service at MGM, but Backlot Express is usually where we end up if we don't have table service.

MK-
Cosmic Ray's. Reasonable variety and a good fixin's bar, plus high quality intergalactic entertainment from Sunny Eclipse. Who could ask for more?

Pecos Bill's also has a good fixin's bar, along with more western themed food in a nicely themed setting.


Epcot-
La Cantina de San Angel - Pretty good quick mexican food with a nice area to sit by the lake.

Yakitori House - Decent beef/chicken skewers and such with some nice gardens nearby.


MGM-
Sunset Market Ranch- Lots of different stands providing bugers, pizza, etc. Lots of outdoor seating, though no indoor seating.

Toy Story Pizza Planet- Pizza is nothing special, but I like to sit outside and peoplewatch in the Muppet Plaza, listening to Muppet songs.


Animal Kingdom-

Flame Tree BBQ- Pretty good BBQ. Grab a table down by the water.

Tusker House- I didn't care for it, but a lot of people do recommend it.

AK - I really like the Tusker House for breakfast.

MK - Cosmic Ray's

Epcot - Electric Umbrella

MGM - um, I don't like any of 'em.

AK- Flame Tree.
MK-Pecos or Village Haus (new menu is mostly pizza, but good. Also good deal if on dining plan, as from what I understand people have been getting the Pep. Pizza AND the Figaro Fries as their side (figaro fries alone could feed me), so it's good for splitting with S.O. or kids.)
Epcot-Tangeriene in Morrocco. Tastiest Chicken I've ever had at disney counter service. Moist and yummy. Also a good idea with dining plan. Very cost effective. Fountainview bakery is good for to-go baked goods breakfast.
MGM-Starring rolls bakery is good for to-go baked good breakfast.
Studio catering company has the most unique counter service kids meal, I think. The Grilled Chicken Wrap with cream cheese spread is really tasty, and it fills me up as a 25 year old. They also have PB& J for picky eaters.

Thank you for your suggestions - keep 'em coming

Yes, we are on the dining plan - and I would like to get the most for our buck when we can. We are two adults, a 4 year old and we need to throw a few scraps down to the little one (17 mths)

 

[tndisneyfan]

MK- Pecos Bill

Epcot- Electric Umbrella

AK- Flame Tree BBQ

MGM- I don't know a good CS, just don't do Pizza Planet.

 

[ChrisAlli]

MK---Peco Bills

AK---Flame Tree...definatley get seat by water

Epcot---There's a bakery across from Electric Umbrella that had good pastries and bagels.

MGM--Kids ate Pizza Planet, also had fish and chips from ABC and it wasn't too bad. Took boat over to Beaches and Cream, good food there.

 

[firemanx]

MK - Pecos Bills
Epcot - The land (dont remember the name)
MGM - Nothing
AK - Flame tree BBQ

 

[Pooh1219]

Some of my favorites are:

MK - Pecos Bill's - great fixins bar
Columbia Harbor House - great chicken/fish platters

Epcot - Yorkshire Fish & Chips and Cantina (love to sit by the water)

AK - Hands down, it's Flame Tree Barbecue

MGM - Absolutely nothing

 

[kufan98]

Our favorites:

MK: Cosmic Ray's

AK: Tusker House

Epcot: Any of the CS places

MGM: None

 

[tinagirl]

P.S. - I don't think that the counter service in MGM is bad.

Just that most people don't have many experiences with them, as a few of the most "unique" places are at MGM, and since 50s and Sci Fi are reasonably priced compared to most other sit downs, most people will do one of those for lunch, and then Mama's or H&V or Brown Derby sit down for dinner.

 

[J.C.&ALI'SMOM]

MK- Columbia Harbor House and Pecos Bill's
Epcot-Sunshine Seasons and Germany CS
AK-Pizzafari (Sorry, that is the only place we get to eat while there!)
Studios-Backlot Express

 

[3princesses4us]

AK- Pizzafari
MK- Pecos Bill's
Epcot- Sunshine Seasons (the Land)
MGM- splurge on an appetizer & dessert at 50's Prime Time!

 

[WDW LOVR]

MK - Columbia Harbour House or Pecos Bills.

MGM - Haven't really found anything we think is really outstanding, usually just get something at one of the row of CS's along the way to ToT.

Epcot - Tangerine Cafe is the best followed by Harry Ramsden's Fish and Chips.

AK - Flame Tree BBQ or Tusker House.

 

[DrTomorrow]

MK - Cosmic Ray's Starlite Cafe!!!

 

[Collette]

MK - Pecos Bill's hamburgers w/fixin's and the chicken wrap

Epcot - Tangierine vegetable platter. I'm not a vegetarian, but can't wait to try this again.

AK - Have only had breakfast at Tusker House, but Tusker House chicken dinner looks great and Pizzafari smells good and has great rooms to dine in.

MGM - Only had TS and a snack there. McDonald's fries and a frozen lemonade from the stand next door really hit the spot one afternoon for some reason.

Here's my list of favorites:

MK - Columbia Harbour House

AK - Tusker House

Epcot - Sunshine Seasons and Tangerine Cafe are my favorites, although I also like Cantina de San Angel and Boulangerie Patisserie

MGM - I haven't liked any of the CS there, but I haven't tried Studios Catering Company yet and I've heard good things about it

Here's where we like to eat...

MK - Columbia Harbor House or Pecos Bill

Epcot - Seasons has great variety and food, plus the bakery there is real good!!! (Strawberry Shortcake)

MGM - Not a lot to pick from, but Backlot Express has good burgers and the turkey sandwich is good, too.

AK - Best counter service, I think!!! Flametree BBQ is real good and Tusker House has yummy food, too! (Salmon)
