[heatherandnick]

My suggestion is to check out the menus and reviews on AllEars and see which places appeal to you and your family the most.

Of the ones you've listed, we have only visited Pizza Planet and Flame Tree.

Pizza Planet was okay...nothing special and very small pizzas. If you're doing DxDP you will also get a nice little salad. (I believe Pizzafari in AK is very similar.)

We LOVE Flame Tree. The servings aren't huge, but the food is super yummy. (DH always gets the pulled pork sammie and I get the deli turkey sammie. He loves their key lime dessert!!) The eating areas are also very nice...shady and tranquil.

I have not heard many good things about the Commissary, but everyone has their own opinions. We have never tried it ourselves.

Have fun!

I would go Electric Umbrella, Flame Tree BBQ (thou its close), and defiantely Earl of Sandwich

Frankly, CS at DHS stinks on ice

I agree with others that Epcot has some great CS that you dont reference such as Sunshine Seasons. There are some good CS located throughout World Showcase like in Mexico, Norway, and Germany

Pizza Planet stinks, as does most pizza in WDW. The one exception I found is Pizzafari which is decent. I hear great things about Via Napoli but that is table service so....

WPE is really good, they give you a lot of food.

I LOVE Earl of Sandwich! I went down to FL for an interview in Nov and HAD to make a stop at Disney lol. The first place I went to after getting my rental car was DTD and I made a beeline to EoS. My DH was super jealous, so I promised him that we'd go this July on our first night

I'd pick Sunshine Seasons before either one of the Epcot choices.

I'm not a big fan of any of the CS in HS myself, but Rosie's was ok. Haven't been to the other.

In AK-Flame tree all the way

 

[mickeynut1]

Wolfgang Puck Express is our favorite in DTD . In Epcot, we usually grab CS at Electric Umbrella and DHS we like Backlot Express .

 

[Microcell]

For anything DHS go to Epcot! LOL! Nothing good there!

I am from KC so eating BBQ in Florida is rather silly for us, but I get the feeling it is like KC or TX BBQ.. smoked as opposed to baked or boiled or whatever the rest of the country does..so I would try that if I wasn't from the BBQ Capital of the world!

I second CS of Sunshine Seasons in Epcot, but Electric Umbrella would be my choice of the ones you listed.

I like Wolfgang Puck Express.. but haven't been to EOS.. may need to try it!

[kaffinito]

My votes are the CS places you have left.

Earl of Sandwich in downtown disney

electric umbrella or liverty inn?? in epcot - Neither. Sunshine Seasons is better.

abc commissary in hollywood studios

and how is toy story pizza planet??

also,

in AK, flametree bbq - OR the CS that's near Yak and Yeti.

 

[FigmentLoverForLife]

Earl of Sandwich or wolfgang puff express?? in downtown disney Both are good, just depends on what your in the mood for.
electric umbrella or liverty inn?? in epcot Sunshine Seasons is by far better than either of these.

rosie's all americian cafe or abc commissary?? in hollywood studios

and how is toy story pizza planet?? Not a fan of any of these but love Starring Rolls!
also,

in AK, pizzafari or flametree bbq?? Flame Tree BBQ

Have to agree with these... that would be my suggestions as well, you must try the sunshine seasons in Epcot, it's in the land pavillion.

 

[hannahdrewmom]

WGPuck express- we like earl of sandwich... but it was just sandwiches. WGPuck had some different types of things and was an AMAZING value for a CS

Sunshine seasons @ Epcot
Flaming tree @ aKL
Starring Rolls @ HS-

DD loves Pizza Planet. The pizza is the same as the rest of disney... so if you can deal with the pizza the atmosphere is straight out of the movie.

The best counter services are probably in Mk and Epcot. But as far as downtown my vote is for Wolfgang Express. We ate there last year and for a counter service was surprised at there quality of food. It almost revivals a table service as far the quantity and quality of food to me. We are going there in May as well. It is the counter service we have planned on when and what day we are eating it. It is our Disney Quest Night after a day at AK.

Animal Kingdom my vote is for Flame Tree BBQ. The Key Lime pie there is a must. It also has some nice seating areas that are shaded.

As far as Hollywood Studios. ABC Commissary is okay as is Rosies. A lot of people do not like Pizza Planet but if you go upstairs it is quitter than downstairs plus I like getting a healthier dessert occassion (ok well healthier than most WDW desserts ) a Mickey Rice Krispy Treat.

As far as Epcot my favorite QS is one you did not mention and that is Yakatori House it is probably one of the quitest QS service reserant and I like there Terrikyi chicken and the ginger cake

They all pretty much give the same amount of food but I think Wolfgang gives you a huge amount of food we ordered the individual pizza last time and I was surprised how big they were. I might be mistaken since I only ate her once but I think they use real plates and forks not just paper.

Hope this helps. (No wonder with all the delicious food and the one time I do not limit what I eat I usually diet before my trips LOL so I do not feel so bad. I know it is weird) but who could pass up Disney Food.

Among those locations I would go with Earl of Sandwich, Electric Umbrella, ABC Commissary and Flame Tree BBQ.

I can only really respond to Ak, since I have had both CS's there. We love Flame tree BBQ, if you like BBQ go here.

Earl of sandwich or wolfgang puff express?? In downtown disney wolfgang puck express for sure.

electric umbrella or liverty inn?? In epcot neither - sunshine season has much a much better selection and better quality food.

rosie's all americian cafe or abc commissary?? In hollywood studiosyou couldn't pay me to eat at abc comssisary again So anything is better. We had a decent lunch at backlot express.

and how is toy story pizza planet?? typical cs pizza - not great but not terrible.

also,

in ak, pizzafari or flametree bbq?? love pizzafari for the hot italian sandwich and the antipasto salad (not the pizza) love flame tree.

thank you so much

hth!

 

[DisneyHardin]

At Epcot we had Electric Umbrella this past summer and it was pretty good - one nice thing there is that they have machines where you can get free refills of soft drinks.

At DHS we really like Backlot Express - it is just basic counter service but again had the free refill drinks and plenty of air conditioned seating.

I've never eaten at DTD, but am looking forward to trying Earl or WPE this summer while we are there.

 

[crabbygal902]

Earl of Sandwich or wolfgang puff express?? in downtown disney I really like both of them. WPE is very special, though. It is hard to believe it is just a CS because someone brings your food to your table and the the quality of the food is fantastic.

electric umbrella or liverty inn?? in epcot I've never been to either, but I'd have to say Liberty Inn simply because of the location in the World Showcase. If you're going to be in Epcot, try my favorite: Tangierine Cafe in Morocco. I love it!

rosie's all americian cafe or abc commissary?? in hollywood studios I haven't tried Rosie's, but I've tried the Commissary. Worst food I've ever had at Disney. Keep in mind that this is all relative...'bad' food at Disney sure beats pretty good food out in the real world sometimes!

and how is toy story pizza planet?? I was expecting terrible, and it was...okay. Really okay. My kids liked it, and that's good enough for me.

also,

in AK, pizzafari or flametree bbq?? I remember Pizzafari being good, nothing fantastic, but good. I'm from North Carolina and picky about my BBQ. I really like Flametree! I don't care for the BBQ sauce, but the meat and sides are quite good. And a beautiful dining area, too.

 

[E&As Mom]

DTD - WPE is great! Large menu and very good food/service. Earl of Sandwich was okay the one time we tried it, but there isn't anything that was too memorable for our experience there.

EPCOT - Have to agree with Sunshine Seasons. We used to go for a snack here back in the day, but decided to check it out for lunch last year. I love all of the choices they have, plus their desserts... OMG... yum!! Their keylime pie tarts, strawberry shortcake, and cinnamon rolls are great! I had a very good sandwich (turkey, lettuce, pepperjack cheese, chipotle mayo on foccacia bread) with a really yummy cold potato salad. DH and DD (8) got their rotisserie chicken platters, and DD (5) got a pizza calzone (I think).

HWS - I think most of the CS choices stink. Pizza Planet was just ok. Didn't particularly care for the pizza here, but having a salad helped a little. Ate at the ABC Commisary last year. Again, just ok. Pretty blah menu, and I thought the cleanliness of the restaurant left a lot to be desired.

AK - We don't spend much time at this park, but Flame Tree was excellent when we tried it. Haven't tried Pizzafari, but may have to explore this one this coming year.

 

[dismichael]

Earl of Sandwich is the best sandwich i've had, crowds can get overwhelming at meal times, but it's awesome..

pizza planet over abc commissary/rosie's cuz it is inside and the pizza is pretty good (it's the standard disney fozen type pizza)..however, again at meal times it can be very overwhelming with noise and kids running around.

Liberty Inn over Electric umbrella just cuz I like the atmosphere of world showcase.. the food is pretty much the same lol (I would recommend Sunshine Seasons in the Land for a lot of food and it's really good. Alot of what is used comes from the greenhouses seen on Living with The Land ride.

Flame Tree BBQ definitely cuz you get alot of food and it's some really good BBQ!

And if you're wondering, Cosmic Ray's in the MK is awesome. The rotisserie chicken dinner is really good and is a better tasting alternative to some of the mediocre counter services.
