Favorite Counter Service Restaurants?

[ILoveMickey'77]

DH and I will leaving for Disney in 8 days!! This will be the first time in recent history that we have not had the dining plan. We tend to eat at the same counter service restaurants every time we go, Cosmic Rays, Pecos Bills, and Sunshine Seasons. With us only eating counter service on this trip, I love to know what are you favorite counter service restaurants?

Edited**I do want to mention that we LOVE Flame Tree BBQ, but 4 out of 4 of my party in February got food poisoning from there, so it will be awhile before we are brave enough to go back

We discovered three new (new to us) great CS this past trip:

DTD-Wolfgang Puck Express
DHS-Starring Rolls-gourmet deli sandwiches and yummy pastries
AK-Flametree BBQ

We also like UK for fish n chips and the Cantina for nachos at Epcot and at MK-Pecos Bills

[Seasonscraps]

My absolute favorites are Earl of Sandwich in DTD and Casey's at the MK.

I love Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom and Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Some of my favorite CS places are:

-Wolfgang Puck Express in DTD (HUGE portions big enough to split, excellent food!)
-Yakitori House in Japan Pavilion in Epcot
-Pecos Bill in MK
-Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary (nice selection of meals other than burgers, chicken nuggets and fries!)
-Artist's Palette at SSR
-Captain Cooks at the Poly
-Everything Pop at POP

Yummm! I'm getting hungry!

In addition to those mentioned;
Columbia Harbor House in MK

[jonahbear2006]

Gasparilla Grill-Grand Floridian
Sassagoula floatworks-POFQ
Electric Umbrella-Epcot
Pizzafarri-AK-for breakfast, we did NOT like lunch here but breakfast was very filling and very good!

Not a counter service, but decently priced for a cheat but awesome meal.....

Beaches and Cream- you could just get a couple of burgers and split them here and then share a kitchen sink.Burgers are 8.99
Grand Floridian Cafe- An overlooked gem of disney world. They have a grand sandwich-Open-faced hot ham, turkey, bacon, and tomato with a rich Boursin cheese sauce and fried onion straws, for $11.99. Worth paying for!

Earl of Sandwich - DTD
Columbia Harbour House - MK

[lighteningqueen]

Sunshine seasons
Earl of Sandwich
Pecos Bills

Want to try this Dec Pepper Market and Wolfgang Express. I heard their portions are large for the man in the family who wants more.

[TheVBs]

On our last trip we had an excellent lunch at the Electric Umbrella in Epcot. They've definitely upgraded their menu.

[baby minnie's mommy]

MK - Columbia Harbour House
DTD - Earl of Sandwich
AK - Restaurantasaurus (I love burgers)
Epcot - Norway (for their desserts!)

[TheMartellFamily]

Sunshine Season at the Land in EPCOT. The other is Everything POP. I am all about the choices.

[rmsongs]

We absolutely love Pepper Market at Coronado Springs; there's literally something for everyone. If you like Mexican food, have the quesadillas and black beans - delicious! We also really like Restaurantosaurus in AK and The ABC Commissary (sp?) at DHS. Last trip we ate at Rosie's -or was it Eddie's? - at DHS and really enjoyed it. Actually, half of us ate at Rosie's and half at Eddie's and everybody was happy.

Since I can't pick just one, I will pick by park.

Mk-Casey's, I love those little corn dog nuggets.
Epcot-Yorkshire County Fish Shop, Yummy fish and chips a must do for my family.
MGM- Actually I don't think I have ever eaten at a CS there, I usually only eat a Sci-fi (which by the way is my favorite at MGM)

BTW. to intercot!

[baldburke]

I don't know why, but one place we consistently eat is at the Backlot Express at DHS. I think we've eaten there every trip since the park opened. It's nothing special: burgers, dogs and chicken, but we keep going.

Wolfgang Puck's at DTD also get a vote by us. We ate there for the first time on our last trip and would definitely go back. The food was great.

[ILoveMickey'77]

Thank you all for the suggestions! Now I'm hungry!!

Sunshine Seasons (probably the best in terms of quality and variety...that isn't named 'wolfgang puck'")
Wolfgang pucks (the best by far....and the two different locations have differing menus...a nice perk as well)
Earl of Sandwich (very good...but much more pedestrian than puck's)
Tangerine Cafe
Cantina de San Angel
Yakitori House
Roaring Forks at Wilderness Lodge
Hurricane Hannah's at Yacht
Sassagoula at Port
I have not tried the new Chef Mickey Express at Contemp...but the menu looked really good

*edit* Flame Tree Barbeque at DAK is pretty good for park food as well


The worst...by far....is Goods 2 Go at Olivia's....i'm considering starting a letter writing campaign to plead for WDW to do something with that place that has about 3 things on the menu
