Which restaurants do you recommend?

[LSU_Mackey]

Hello again,

As I said in my post on the Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies board, I am going on a trip with my family and girlfriend. My girlfriend is a VERY pick eater. When I say picky I mean Macaroni & Cheese, Chicken Strips, Steak, French Fries, pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, baked potatoes, etc. Now, my parents are doing a bunch of bar-b-que and basic cooking for dinners at the condo we rented to cut back on spending. As for lunches, us kids are sent to pay for our own food as we see fit while in the park. We have five day passes that includes the park-hopper option so we will be visiting each park once and probably a water park for that fifth visit.

My question is, which restaurants (and there are a lot to choose from) should I be looking at to eat at? Price, currently, shouldn't be an option but I'd like to only be spending $30 a day on food for both me and my g/f...that means $15 a lunch. If there is a place I should absolutely, positively not miss then please include that and omit my price requirement...I'm not very stingy with my money, ask my mother and g/f.

Can you, also, please list what a recommended dish would be at the restaurant you choose? I am not picky at all.

So, seeing as I cannot post links yet, here is a list of each restaurant at each park...sorry if this takes up a lot of space:

$15 for lunch means counter service only. Look at the menus and see what looks good as you don't have to have an ADR you can eat wherever you want. This will also allow you to go to 2 seperate places if you would like to be more adventurous.

My favorite counter service is the fish and chips place in the UK in epcot. Beyond that the quality is pretty much at the same level it all just depends on what you want to eat. IMHO Epcot has the best CS followed by AK than DHS and then MK

We have five day passes that includes the park-hopper option so we will be visiting each park once and probably a water park for that fifth visit.

A five day hopper will not get you into the water parks. Check the locked sticky about tickets in TPA&S (you can follow the link in my signature).

Also, at the top of the page are two rows of links. The 4th one from the left on the second line will take you to an area where all the menus are.
