The best lunch at DHS is...

Subject line says it all.

A pretzel and/or popcorn with a to-go Margarita from Prime Time Lounge.

Another vote for HBD Cobb Salad but I will add grapefruit cake - Yum!

I agree. We like 50’s PTC for dinner but I am sure it would be just as good for lunch.

SciFi first choice. Then 50's. Then leave the park to go to Epcot.

HBD Lounge. I tried it last summer and fell in love! Great food, wonderful service, I just wish it was inside.

The lack of AC drove us inside during July but someday we'll give the lounge a whirl when the weather is cooler.

How full does HBD lounge get? I would like to try it with DD on our next trip.

50's Prime Time or Sci Fi Dine in is our favorite!

This is what it looks like :

and I'm pretty sure they don't take reservations. I've never seen it completely full.

I usually shoot for an early lunch and have never had to wait.

At prime meal times I think it can be crowded with a wait as there aren't that many tables. But otherwise there seems to be a pretty decent flow and relatively minimal waits. Tables are first-come, first-served. For lunch I'd recommend either "rope dropping" it and getting in line a bit before their noon opening or doing a later lunch mid-afternoon. There is an entrance/exit at either end of the patio. I *think* the line at the right as you're looking at it from the outside (by the former Starring Rolls) is typically people looking for to-go drinks from the bar and to get a table you enter off the walkway into the main restaurant. As others have mentioned, it's open to the elements (temperature, rain, wind etc.) so that can be an issue. Also be aware that the lounge and restaurant menus are entirely separate (i.e. can't order off restaurant menu in lounge and vice versa) with a couple of crossover items like the Cobb Salad (although that's presented differently in the lounge). We enjoy both the lounge and restaurant depending on our mood.

Great to hear. I love that it's outside. We have afternoon/evenings at DHS with no ADRs so this is definitely on my list.
