Re: Best Hollywood Studios Counter Service

That is something this park DEFINATELY lacks, really good counter service locations. Although, we really prefer the "ABC Commissary." They have a different variety of food for adults while still all the "standards" kids like.

This is the counter service menu there: (The cuban sandwich is my favorite)
ABC Commissary - Counter Service - Disney-MGM Studios


I should also say that the hot dogs & grilled turkey sandwiches at the Backlot Express are good:
Back Lot Express - Counter Service - Disney-MGM Studios

Re: Best Hollywood Studios Counter Service

We loved ABC commisary. We haven't been there since the recent menu changes, but I really enjoyed our meal there last year. It wasn't that crowded and we got in and out quickly. It was nice just to sit and relax in the A/C for awhile.

Re: Best Hollywood Studios Counter Service

I have to say I am not impressed with the TS or CS at Hollywood Studios. That said, I'd probably vote for the Commisary. DH loved their Cuban sandwich!

Re: Best Hollywood Studios Counter Service

The Commisary's food is a little to different for my family. We like the Backlot express a lot.

Re: Best Hollywood Studios Counter Service

I don't really care for any of the CS locations in the Studios.
As for ABC's Cuban sandwich, there's plenty of places to get a better version for less money in the real world.
It's Florida and there's Cuban food everywhere!

Re: Best Hollywood Studios Counter Service

None of it is spectacular, but I love Toy Story Pizza Planet...it is refreshing to me that you can get an individual pizza and salad together for one price. It's amazing how good salad tastes when you've been eating chicken fingers and fries for days on end!

Backlot Express is good too, but if you are looking for food that's a little less "traditional" for a CS, then ABC Commissary is the way to go.
