We normally eat CS for lunch while we are at Disney. We keep our TS for dinner. I've got all my ADR lined up for Dinner and a few breakfast but I need help on CS.
What are you favorite CS in each park and why?
 
Flame Tree Grill in AK..Fantastic Ribs

Columbia Harbour House at MK....different fare...sandwiches and the fried shrimp is yummy.
Cosmic Rays at MK is sceond choice
Sunshine Seasons at Epcot...great variety and good

DHS thats a hard one..not really any good ones...Starring Rolls Cafe but very limited on choices..Catalina Eddies is ok and Backlot Express is ok
 
Epcot - Sunshine Seasons (a nice change from burgers and fries) - but plan to eat a really early lunch or very late lunch to avoid crazy lines.

MK - Agree with PP on Columbia Harbor House - not your typical CS fare. If you are lucky enough to catch it while it is open i also love the taco salad at El Pirata Y El Perrico

AK and DHS - hmmmmm- I think I would rather park hop to MK or Epcot and eat - I have yet to find a CS I like at either of these places.
 
AK - Flame tree BBQ. Moist and juicy BBQ chicken and Ribs.
HS - Starring rolls. this is just for lack of better options in that park.
EC- Sunshine seasons something for everyone, and the AC seating is nice too.
MK - Pecos bills for the topping bar, and Cosmic rays for the selections.
 
MK- Cosmic Ray's because there is a lot to choose from.
CHH is a close second... sit upstairs, its nice and quiet.

EPCOT- I would rather have extra TS meals here since there are so many places worth eating. If an extra TS is absolutely out of the question, just snack around the WS.

AK- Flame Tree... The BBQ Chicken Salad is one of the better CS salads in WDW. The ribs are pretty good, too.

DHS- We usually leave before dinner and we try to have an early lunch at 50's PTC instead of a CS... not many good options there IMO.

DTD- WPE. Pretty good food. The best value for a CS credit if you are on the dining plan.
 
Magic Kingdom: Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe, because I like the atmosphere, food and the fixins bar.

Epcot: Electric Umbrella, because the food and the fact it's one of the few theme park counter service locations where you can get the drink yourself which means free refills.

Hollywood Studios: ABC Commissary, because I like the food and it's a very nice atmosphere with the TV's that play clips from various ABC shows.

Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ & Pizzafari, because both locations serve very good food.
 
AT MK, I love El Pirata Y El Perico but it isn't open all the time. At AK, Flame Tree is great. I do NOT like the Commissary food at HS. We will be on the CS plan this year so I appreciate these opinions.
 
MK - Columbia Harbor House: Mostly for the clam chowder, although other food I've had there has been good.

Epcot - Sunshine Seasons: Lots of variety, good sized portions, and fresh and tasty food.

AKL - Flame Tree BBQ: Although, I might be inclined to go OOP for Tusker House with the priority seating for Finding Nemo.

DHS - Fairfax Fare: Much better than the other options at DHS, I've found.

DTD - Wolfgang Puck Express and Earl of Sandwich are both very good. WPE has some quite large meals for 1 CS credit.
 
I found Cosmic Rays at MK to be quite good, I got the chicken and ribs combo. Both were quite good, pretty tasty and juicy. Mashed potatoes and green beans were nothing special but really not bad for counter service.
Also, Pecos Bills taco salad was pretty good, not an excessive amount of fixings but you could load it up for a filling meal.
 
Columbia Harbor House has very good selections.

We tried Pecos Bill's this year and really liked it. i had a wrap that could ahve easily fed two people. The only problem that we had was that the bathrooms were a mess.
 
Epcot- Yakatori House has something a little bit different from the usual CS fare. We like the Teryaki chicken and sukiyaki beef.

We also like the Yorkshire County Fish shop in the UK. If you have ever had Arthur Treachers fish and chips this is very similar. (Am I showing my age here!!!)

We also like the Tangerine cafe in Morocco. The chicken, lamb and yellow rice are good. I don't care for hummus or cous-cous but my wife says it was good.

La Cantina De San Angel-Mexico has very good Mexican food and we have never been disappointed.

Lotus Blossom-China is ok and we have eaten there more than once. Sometimes I just get a hankering for fried rice.

There are a couple places that offer sandwich type fare in France and Norway. The desserts are soooooo good.

So to sum things up, there are a lot of choices for lunch at Epcot around the world showcase that are very good if you are willing to try them. There are so many options that we just kind of eat lunch wherever we are when the mood strikes.

Other than Cosmic Ray's, those would be my choices, too.:thumbsup2
 
Thank you for all the suggestions.
We have always eaten at Flame Tree at AK and I was curious as to if it was the best. We sure liked it. Apparently it is the best there :)
DH loves Pecos Bills because of the fixings bar. But I am going to push him to try CHH this year. I checked out the menu after so many of you suggested it. I want to try something new. We love Cosmic Rays and I am sure we will end up there on one of our MK days.
Epcot is still undecided and HS I am still unsure. I'm really tempted to book a TS there for lunch. We only give HS one day so park hopping with four kids in tow just for lunch isn't really doable.
Jeesh I wonder how much time I have actually spent deciding about food for this trip!
 
MK - CHH because it is a break from burgers ha ha! I love the tuna sandwich, DH is a fan of the chicken blt salad and we are both looking forward to the fried shrimp

Epcot - China, Germany, Morocco...these are all great places but the new menu at the Mexico CS looks great!

HS - nothing

AK - FTB

DTD - WPE

I completely agree with this. I would add Sommerfest in Germany to the list!!!
There are so many great CS options in WS, that I can't understand anyone who chooses Electric Umbrella for another hamburger.
Enjoy
 
Tangerine, Lotus Blosum

Pizza Planet at HS is good

never had cs at AK

El Pirate at MK is the best of a ton of very poor choices
 
I have no problem with most of the CS Restaurants other then the ones at DHS and a few at Epcot. I will not eat at any of DHS CS there just awful, and very few of it's TS Restaurants. Epcot has a few I avoid but overall most I like.
 
Both me and my DW like Pecos Bill. Flame Tree is also good. Cosmic Ray's will do in a pinch.

I will be trying Tangerine Cafe and Columbia Harbor House for the first time - looking forward to them!
