Favorite place to stop and eat in MK

[riley1129]

My FAVORITE place to stop and eat in MK is definitely Casey's! The minute we land in Orlando and the first thing I always say is "Let's go to Casey's!"

What's everyone else's favorite place to eat?!

[joonyer]

We use to love Casey's too until they stopped serving the all-beef hotdogs. They are not as good as they used to be. We like to go to Pecos Bill's or Cosmic Ray's for lunch. And Main Street bakery for snacks.

[VWL Mom]

The only MK must have for us is funnel cakes from Sleepy Hollow. Other than that we'll just eat at the closest place when we're hungry.

[Madame Leona]

It's a tough call between getting a Dole Whip and Columbia Harbor House. Dole Whip's are awesome for dessert but when I need something more substantial, it has to be the veggie sandwich at CHH.

[Figment104]

Columbia Harbor House and a Lighthouse Sandwich. We were actually just talking about these the other day. Boy one sounds good right now!

[steamboat willy]

We're right there with you on Casey's as a must do. We usually try and catch the fireworks :fworks: while setting out by the railing seats! We also enjoy the choices and fixn's bar at Cosmic Ray's and this December we are excited to "Be Our Guest".
Dole Whip....definitely Dole Whip!:papple:
:beer: sorry...that's back at the Resort Pool! :vacation:

[Wolf]

Casey's with EXTRA saurkraut on the dog and EXTRA cheese on my fries!! :eat:

[DNS]

Main Street Bakery for us! Yummy!

[Dopey's Girl]

Chili cheese dog from Casey's call my name each trip. SO yummy!

I have also been known to trek across the park for a treat from the bakery!

[SBETigg]

Casey's is probably my favorite MK place, too. It's right there near the castle. We love the hot dogs even after the change from all beef. I love those little tables outside, great place to sit and eat and people-watch and soak up atmosphere. Plus, the old-timey Main Street touches are quaint and fun.

Oh jeez, her she goes again with the yucky kraut! :sick: A must for MK is definately Tortuga Tavern, except the last 5+ times I have been, its been closed (seasonal :()

[yourmagicalguide]

My vote would definitely be Columbia Harbor House. I love the Anchors Aweigh Sandwich and the Lobster Roll (drooling just thinking about them) :tasty: DH and I really enjoy sitting upstairs and getting a table by a window so we can people watch and discuss our day.

For dessert, hands down, Aloha Isle for a Dole Whip. So tasty and refreshing :thumbsup:

[TinkerbellT421]

Columbia Harbor House!! :mickey::number1: white clam chowder and the chicken strip basket. Yummy!!!!

[Gator]

I can't wait to get into the rustic setting of Pecos Bill Cafe. It's the first place I ate lunch with my wife on our honeymoon, so it's always stuck out to me as a special place. Also, I love love love the fixens bar.

[Quadstriker]

Funny how we're all different.

I can't even go into Casey's. The smell of sauerkraut makes me wretch. :sick:

Sometimes the wife will go in and grab something from there while I stand across the street. :blush:

[PETE FROM NYC]

I do enjoy the dole whips. Churros too.
Can't understand why so many pick Caseys. IMHO , terrible tasting dogs.

[DVCJohn]

For me it also has to be Columbia Harbour House.
That was the first place I ate in MK in 1976. If We do not have reservations at the Liberty Tree we go directly to Columbia. That was my Mom's favorite. Miss you MOM...

[darthmacho]

Lots of good QS choices at MK. I like them all for the most part, but one place we seem to go at least once per trip is Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. I'm sure we'll be eating there again this August.

I do like Casey's, Pecos Bill's, and Pinocchio Haus too. Also, I've been wanting to try Tortuga Tavern. :mickey:

[indytraveler]

Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch

Apple butter on the biscuits. But wait, they stopped that :mad: on my last visit.

Pecos Bills for late dinner snack. 2 words. Fixens bar

[Princess'Mom]

Yup - you just described my first evening at MK meal! Yummo!

[DisneyDawgette]

Casey's BBQ Slaw dog is where it's at! And a Dole Whip on the way out, or between the parade and fireworks is a must have! We took our children's ministry last month and Aloha Isle was a major hit! :D

I totally agree Wolf...the first time I ever tried sauerkraut was at Casey's...and I got hooked!!! LOVE IT!!! :cool:

[yourmagicalguide]

I've been wanting to try Tortuga Tavern. :mickey:

You definitely should try Tortuga Tavern on your next visit :thumbsup:

DH and I ate there for lunch on our last trip and weren't disappointed. I recommend the Taco Salad as there's a great toppings bar with loads of fresh tomatoes, cheddar cheese, lettuce and mild salsa :tasty: Our seasoned beef was a little bland for our taste, but there are taco sauce packets at the toppings bar that fixed that problem in a jiffy ;)

[mydisneygirls]

Another one for Columbia Harbour House. For TS, Crystal Palace.

[SurferStitch]

Favorite CS - Columbia Harbor House (love the fried shrimp and lobster roll)

Favorite TS - Plaza Restaurant (chocolate shake and strawberry chicken salad - :cloud9:)

[Arielfan98]

Definitely Columbia Harbour House!!! They serve counter food in a sit-in restaurant setting and it's a very good feeling not always having to look for a table there, especially if you eat upstairs.

[Cinderelley]

We always have to eat at Pecos Bill's. This thread made me think of all the great memories I have there. I never would have guessed so much fun could be tied to a cs restaurant. :D

[MrPeetrie]

I love every place already mentioned. I'm a huge Casey's fan. I love Pecos Bill's, Pinocchio Haus and Cosmic Ray's. When they had the Starboard Deck sandwich, Columbia House was my favorite. Truthfully, I really enjoy all the food at Magic Kingdom.

They one place we've never eaten at is Liberty Tavern. We'll have to try that some time.

[lovemy3girls]

Columbia Harbour House for a tuna sandwich, and Aloha Aisle for a Dole Whip Float!

[Stu29573]

Another vote for CHH. We eat in the section that overlooks the Haunted Mansion. It took me a while to realize that it is appropriately themed!

[LudwigVonDrake]

The lobster roll at Columbia Harbor House was quite good :tasty:

[steamboat willy]

What exactly is a Lobster Roll? :crab: Never had one? Thanks!

[Pop Centurion]

As far as QS, I also like to go to Columbia harbor House & get an upstairs seat by a window overlooking HM. It's surprising how empty it usually is up there.
I also like Cosmic Ray's really late when it's empty & quiet. You can really enjoy Sonny Eclipse much better during that time. it almost feels like your in a lounge with live entertainment.

[Kairi_7378]

We stop at CHH or Peco Bill's depending on which is closer. For a relaxing atmosphere, I would give the edge to CHH.

[Mom on a Mission]

Exactly!

We also always have to eat at Tony's, but it's more for the Lady & The Tramp statue than the food ;-) DH's favorite is Chrystal Palace. :mickey:

[Septbride2002]

If I haven't been to Aloha Isle for a Pineapple Float then I haven't been to Disney World. PERIOD.

Casey's use to be a lot better - something has changed there. I am hoping to try some new counter items at the Magic Kingdom on this next trip. Inclusing the Nutella Waffles - Yum. Yum. Yum.

[PlutoPlanet]

What exactly is a Lobster Roll? :crab: Never had one? Thanks!

A lobster roll is usually a hot dog bun, often with a split top, filled with lobster meat pieces (not a whole tail or claw) with a dressing that is mostly mayo with perhaps some celery. The lobster meat is cool. I haven't had the Lobster roll at Disney, but they are very popular in New England. Lobster meat is cheaper in the summer. If you like lobster, or even think you may like lobster, you've got to try one.

[Crow]

since i dont spend as much time at MK as Epcot, i havent eaten there as much..
Dole whips of course. once a very long time ago i think Columbia..Pecos Bills a few times which i liked w topping bar.
Tonys once a few trips ago and wasnt impressed.
a friend liked LTT but i know he hasnt been there for like 5 yrs. im almost tempted to try the dinner.
the bakery, have taken nephews there and gf there for ice cream cookie sandwhich

[DisneyGiant]

Columbia Harbor House for decent food.

Sleepy Hollow for fresh chipwich ice cream sandwiches. The only time I ever eat vanilla ice cream is there between two warm chocolate chip cookies!!!

The Lobster Roll at CHH is very similar to what you described. They use a soft roll that is split along the side like a hot-dog bun. It's then filled with chunks of chilled lobster meat that's mixed with mayo, lettuce, bits of red pepper, red onion, celery, and spices.

My only complaint about the Lobster Roll was it was a little heavier than I would have liked on the mayo and onion, but it otherwise tasted delicious :tasty:

[Tinkerbella16]

Columbia Harbour House hands down is my favorite place for something quick.. I love the Anchors Aweigh tuna sandwich!! :cloud9:

I made an ADR to try the Plaza Restaurant on my first night there, since I will be there all night for EMH I figured I'd sit and relax somewhere and this is the only sit down in MK I haven't been to yet so I am looking forward to it. :mickey:

[MKFD43]

The taco salad at tortugas is awsome.Too bad its only open during the lunch hours.

[Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da Disney]

Crystal Palce for some Lunch and then to Aloha Isle for a tasty Dole Whip :D Yum!!!!

[tiggerbuddy]

Me too !!:mickey:

I can't wait to get into the rustic setting of Pecos Bill Cafe

[jnfr2424]

Another vote for Columbia Harbour House its a must do every single trip!

[SandmanGStefani24]

Casey's Corner!

Love this place, through and through...

[MNDisney Dad]

Pecos Bills chili cheese fries and Caseys.

[BigRedDad]

Pecos Bill, Cosmic Ray's, Columbia Harbor House. There are not many we would not stop at. We like them all. Each has something unique so it is not always the same thing: nuggets, cheeseburger, pizza, etc.

[RavsRuleDisney!]

CHH is the kinda hidden eating gem in the park. For a snack, a quick churro or Turkey leg(may be a meal actually!) in Frontierland....

[texas211]

The waffle sandwiches at Harbor.

[JoDisney]

We love the Plaza Restaurant. We even have reservations for the MVMCP at the Plaza. I want to try the tuna sandwich at the Columbia House. Is it made with white tuna?
