New to counter service...do tell you favorites please

[Leigh123]

It is not that we have never eater CS at WDW, but since it is just the 2 of us, we usually do sit down meals. ( Don't take that as we are snobs, as I type this is I am microwaved mac n cheese) :> Anyhow we usually take two 8 day trips per year so taking time for table service is not a big deal....this year we are adding a 2 1/2 day in January am with that limited amount of time, I don't want to take time for sit downs...so I was hoping you could all tell me what your must haves are for CS. Thanks in advance.

Satul'i Canteen... all day, every day. It truly is fantastic.

I like Yorkshire Fish House, the French Bakery and Sunshine Seasons in Epcot. In MK, I like Columbia Harbor House and lunch at BOG. I've also been okay with Pecos Bill. In HS, I haven't found any options that I love, but I'm happy to have the antipasto salad at Pizzarizzo or the Mediterranean Salad at ABC Commissary. And so far I haven't really found anything that I like very much at AK (but I haven't tried Satul'i Canteen yet....maybe next month!). For some reason that I can't comprehend, my DH and teenage son LOVE Restaurantasorus, but I hate it.

We thought Yorkshire Fish House was super greasy and not good (apologies for disagreeing). Agree that Les Halles is definitely a good option at Epcot, and we also like the bratwurst (well, some in the family do) and potato salad at Sommerfest. Columbia Harbor House is a good option at MK, but we don't care for Pecos Bill's. We usually eat at Pinocchio's Village Haus at least once a trip - not great by any means, but pretty good. We usually don't eat QS at either DHS or AK, but Yak & Yeti isn't too bad.

Thanks so much for all your responses...it is very helpful

I’ve read that flame tree barbecue in AK is pretty good. We are trying it in March. We also liked BOG for lunch and sunshine seasons at Epcot.

Satu'li Canteen - we prefer this over many TS restaurants now. It's THAT good. We also really like Tangierine Cafe at Epcot in the Morocco Pavilion. Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar is in the Italy Pavilion, it is a TS restaurant that doesn't take ADRs. It has smaller entrees and shareable plates. It is one of our very favorite places to eat at WDW. They have a little room with love seats and cocktail tables - we sit there, share some appetizer plates and have a few glasses of wine.

 

[mckennarose]

I agree with the suggestions for flame tree and sunshine seasons. BOG is good and my first choice for MK, however I think it "feels" more like a TS because of the craziness getting an ADR at 180 days out. It's not like a walk up.
I'm really looking forward to trying Satuli on our next trip!

I feel like I just posted this, but my favorite things to get at MK QS are the tuna sandwich at Columbia Harbor House and the fajita platter at Pecos Bill.

I know a tuna sandwich doesn't sound like much, but trust me when I say it's super delicious and goes down easily after a hot MK morning.

The fajita platter at Pecos Bill is huge! You can easily split one between two people. It has a huge toppings bar with guacamole, salsa, all kinds of cheese and vegetables--fresh and pickled stuff like olives and jalapeño. Food is good and plentiful. Plus it's indoors. You'll be out of the heat and humidity and won't have to deal with attacks by wildlife like birds and squirrels.

MK - Columbia Harbor House, Pecos Bill's
EP - Sunshine Seasons, Tangierine, Kringla Bakery
AK - Pizzafari (I was pleasantly surprised and felt bad I hadn't given this one a chance sooner).
HS - unfortunately, I can't think of anything I love...most of the time we probably snack and get Starbucks until we park hop to EP

 

[dcassetta]

MK - Columbia Harbor House
EPCOT FW - Sunshine Seasons
EPCOT WS - Tangierine and Les Halles
AK - Yak and Yeti
HS - Outside of Brown Derby, I try not to eat anywhere at HS

 

[puffkins]

Columbia Harbor House at MK is very good. Sunshine Seasons in The Land at EPCOT is also a nice change of pace. Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie at the French pavilion in ECPOT is the best selection of desserts at Disney World...a must do.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

1. Contempo Cafe
2. Sunshine Seasons
3. Will soon try Satuli Canteen, and I expect it to become another favorite

 

[MickeyWaffles]

We like:

MK
-Pecos Bill’s
-Casey’s Corner (nothing special, but we like the location and it’s a classic for us)
-Columbia Harbour House
-BoG QS lunch, even though you would need an ADR for it.

Epcot
-We like QS things from Mexico China, Japan, Morocco and France. Because we love the QS offerings in WS we do not ever do Sunshine Seasons even though that is a favorite among many.

DHS
-Don’t like any QS. We always ate at Pizza Planet (now Pizzerizzo). It was always fine but QS at DHS is a tough one for us.

DAK
-For us, it’s Flame Tree or Yak & Yeti local cafes all the way. I can’t ever decide which one I want. We love these.

Dh adores all the options at sunshine seasons & last trip we didn't even stop to eat there!!!!
He went into a food coma at the f&w festival instead...
Therefore-ss is our first stop next time.

I know I'm in the minority-but I really enjoy liberty inn.

I really like the garlic bread sticks at pinnochios

And if you go to ds-blaze all the way!

 

[ZebraDomeCrazy]

Flame Tree at AK, great food in a very pretty setting.
Sunshine Seasons in The Land at Epcot.
Norway in World Showcase
Backlot Express in HS(not great, but ok)
Columbia Harbor House in MK

 

[Princess_Lisa]

Liberty Inn in America at Epcot is the best QS place I’ve done other than maybe BOG Lunch, which is technically QS, though I would consider it a hybrid of QS and TS.

 

[djc9699]

We like Les Halles, Liberty Inn, Yak & Yeti at AK, Casey's and Cosmic Ray's at MK. We don't like any quick serve at HS. We always eat at 50s Prime Time or go to Epcot and eat.

 

[DisneyDad2015]

Out of all the ones I’ve tried, the two stand outs for me are Peco’s Bill in MK and Flame Tree BBQ at AK.
