Top Of The Cookie Jar Restaurant

[Rosetta89]

I previously posted a thread on bottom of the pit restraunts to your family personally. Now I want to know what is your favorite TS and CS in each of the parks? Why?

 

[Rosetta89]

well I guess I'll start

AK- TS-RFC..I love the food and atmosphere in both locations of this restraunt. CS- Pizzafari....plenty of seating..and decent food

MK- TS- CP my 2nd favorite in all of WDW! Love the food and character interaction is great!! CS- CRSC...I love this cafe...The entertainment is funny and the food is good

E- TS- Biergarten!! My favorite in all of WDW....Love german food and the atmosphere, entertainment is so entertaining Best dessert ever. CS- Cantina de San Angel....love the mexican food...can't wait to see it since they refurbished and changed it!!!

HS- TS- Hollywood & Vine- Like the dinner without the characters...enjoy the food and atmosphere I also really like 50's prime time and Sci-Fi here too though! CS- Backlot Express and Pizza Planet are both kind of my favs here!

Epcot: TS is Bistro de Paris and CS is Tangierine Cafe. Bistro is upscale, small intimate dining with excellent food presentation and service. Tangierine is different, they offer a platter meal with great variety that we find to be better than several of the TS meals.

AK: TS is Tusker House and CS is Flame Tree. Tusker House has some interesting dishes that are not the norm, particularly for a buffet. Flame Tree has decent chicken and I love the outdoor seating area (even with the annoying birds).

MK: TS would be Liberty Tree Tavern. I like the salad they offer there and the other TS at this park are underwhelming to me. CS would be Columbia Harbor House for the Lighthouse sandwich.

DHS: TS would be 50's PTC. Between the fried chicken, picnic punch (alcoholic beverage) and the smores, I'm in fat gram heaven. I haven't found any CS to recommend at this park.

Although I've already seen my favorites listed, what's funny is that I've also seen several resturaunts that were listed in the Bottom of the Pit. I think it would be really interesting to see a list of those resturants that showed up both places-best for some, worst for others.

 

[Simba's Mom]

That was a great idea! I never thought of that when I posted them! Thanx for doing that I love reading everybody's opinions on restraunts.
