What are the restaurants (table service or quick service) that have outdoor seating areas? Thanks.

I don't always pay a lot of attention so can't come up with a comprehensive list.

City Walk - Margaritaville has the porch area, which has a roof but is open. There are outdoor tables up by the Breadbox and fast food type places I think. Starbucks has some. Toothsome has some but if you have a reservation you may wait extra to get outside.

IOA - QS places like Fire Eaters Grill and Burger Digs have outdoor tables. The Three Broomsticks has some out back but last time there I was made to sit inside at one of the inside tables with the very low chairs. Mythos has some but I don't think it is open all the time. Backwater Bar at Confisco Grille has some that border on the outside I think. Green Eggs & Ham in Seussland.

I spend even less time eating at US. Today Show Cafe has outside tables. Pretty sure the Simpsons area quick service places have outdoor eating spots. Lombard's seafood Grill may have a few. Richter's Burger might.

There may be more. Several places at Portofino Bay do, the pool bar at Royal Pacific if you want to explore.

Cowfish has outdoor second floor porch we have eaten at. Margaritaville has nice outdoor covered porches, plenty of seats. We have usually been able to get outside seating there but most outdoor seating is limited at most restaurants. We got Bigfire once and Mythos once for outdoor.
 
Actually something that I noticed is that there are tables all over the parks. I have stopped at a few to take a break. But yes the today Show Cafe. Most of the quick service have an outdoor eating area. Some nicer than others
 

Most of the quick service/mobile order places have some outside seating. Leaky Cauldron is all indoor I think.
If I wanted an outside table for table service, I would make a reservation ahead of time and specify that's what you want. Based on what I'm seeing this week, outdoor table seating may be limited to certain times of the day due to staffing. We eat very early so we can return to the parks, and I haven't seen any outdoor tables being used. A few years ago, I remember always being asked if I wanted to sit inside or outside, but no one is offering us that option this week.
Maybe someone else can help with more info.
