Favorite "counter service" Restaurants?

BuzzLightyear · 04-02-2003

Just wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your favorite counter service restaurants in the Worlds Theme parks. We seem to always get stuck eating at the same ones and would like to try some different ones this time.

Thanks in advance!!

Mommy and Daddy usually get to choose sit down meals so we leave the counter service choices to our DD's tastes. So, my picks are kid picks.

MK - Pinochio's Village Haus
My DD loves to sit by the window and watch the Small World boats go by as she waves to everyone. Stromboli's grilled chicken salad is very good! The fixins bar for burgers & grilled chicken is good too.

Epcot - The food court in the Land
It has something to please everyone

MGM -
Toy Story Pizza Planet... GAMES!

AK -
The McDonalds in Restaruantasaurus (sp?) why?? because we can't go a week without McDonalds! I'll never understand the fascination kids have with McD's??

For us it the following:

MK - Aunt Polly on the island - Love sitting there and watch the ducks and to feed them. Love their Ham and Cheese sandwiches,

Epcot - Food Fair in The Land, the above comment is right

The Disney Studio - Sunset Market Place on Sunset Boulvard. Excellent Turkey Legs and great hot dogs.

AK - Flame Tree Barbecue - Great place for a nice fruit plate or BBQ sandwich. Take your meal down to the lake side in the covered palvion and look over the side. The past 3 times we been there a alligator has been floating in the water. The breeze is so nice there.

Downtown = Ghiradelli is the place to have a excellent ice cream sundae after you have a nice sandwich from Gourment Pantry of a pizza from Wolfgang Punk Express.

OK, here goes:

MK: Columbia Harbour House - the best sandwich in the world, the Starboard Deck Sandwich: ham with tomatoes, broccoli slaw and cheese. Yum!

EPCOT: Yakitori House in Japan - great little garden to eat in, it is never crowded and the food is quite good.

Disney Studios: We usually eat lunch at one of the sitdown restaurants, but if we don't, we usually head for the fruit carts and small shops by ToT.

Animal Kingdom: by default, Tusker House. Nice shade, good chicken and mashed potatoes. The corn chowder is good as well.

I never miss Pecos Bill's in Frontierland at MK. Their portions are huge and the food is great. I think it is one of the better values in the parks.

crystalrp · 04-02-2003

At the Magic Kingdom we LOVE Cosmic Rays. You can get a family meal of chicken with mashed potatoes for like 15 bucks, plus there is always entertainment. The chicken sandwiches are yummy too! :)

I agree!

Plus, they have a terrific fixins bar...and if you go off-peak it is not crowded at all. Check out the little room that looks like a mexican courtyard!

OH YES they do! I mean I couldn't believe they had actually had a man there grillin mushrooms!! My mouth is now watering!

mickaholic4077 · 04-04-2003

What my mother likes to do when we go to a place with a good fixins bar is make a nice little salad with all the ingredients.

Belle's Momma · 06-15-2003

That salad thing is a great idea...:p

MK: Pecos Bill

EPCOT: Too many choices but really like the Nachos in Mexico.

MGM: NO good choices here... Wonder why?

AK: Flame tree

Downtown: Wolfgang Pizzas are awesome

chrisant · 06-16-2003

Cosmic Rays is good
