what would you choose? We will be there for morning EMH on July 15, and will need to use a CS credit on our DDP to eat. I know not much is really exceptional at MGM, but which is the best?

We were there in January and ate at the ABC Commisionary for breakfast and lunch. I thought that was pretty good. There's fish, chinese, burgers. A little bit more of a variety there. Also, I like Backlot Express. Burgers, chicken and salads there. Those would be my picks.:mickey:

Just don't eat the burgers by RnR or ToT. I regretted swallowing them. I would convince myself I could afford to lose weight before eating there again. My kids didn't like the pizzas at Toy Story Pizza but I did. ABC Commissary would get my vote or a quick trip back to the resort. Esp. in summer for a quick dip and a better lunch:blush:

I like the Backlot Express very well!:mickey: Also, Pizza Planet is not bad. Especially if you have DKs who like the movie.

Toy Story Pizza gets my vote. We had a bad experience with ABC Commissary. The line was horrible and the food was just ok.

BACKLOT EXPRESS!! They have a turkey sandwich on crunchy bread with roasted veggies - out of this world! A distant second choice for me would be Pizza Planet - the pizza is decent and the kids (and dads) love the video games and airconditioning!

Starring Rolls for lunch, no contest. Big, huge gourmet sandwiches and actual choices for dessert.

For breakfast, well, there's a McDonald's nearby I think.

We just discovered Backlot Express about a year and 1/2 ago and have been pretty happy with it. For some reason we always looked at it and passed, now while it's not high on the list, it's there if we happen to be spending any time in MGM and are hungry.

Starring Rolls sounds good too, I'll have to check that out.

The ABC Comissary has some pretty good choices and a place we usually hit when eating CS at MGM. Backlot Express has a pretty good vegetable sandwich. Never had lunch at Starring Rolls, but that sounds pretty good.

Starring Rolls for breakfast or lunch is great.

Be sure to get in there early for breakfast...once it's gone, it's gone!

The Backlot Express is our choice. We've had lunch (twice) at the ABC Commissary and it's not our favorite (their Cubano was so-so). I'd be glad to try Starring Rolls, but on a trip w/out my DS-11 (who would much prefer a burger or chicken strips to a sandwich).

I've only eaten at Pizza Planet -- my kids really liked the Pizza.... In April I saw that the Commissary had an interesting menu -- curry and cuban sandwiches, but I haven't tried them. Starring Rolls has beautiful looking sandwiches, but again -- we never tried them...

We do Pizza Planet every year - more out of tradition than anything. It's the only place we do pizza at the World.

Backlot Express has the best Pulled Pork Subs.:secret: And the prices are very good for a CS at WDW. :blush:

But please don't tell everybody here or it will be crowded the next time we go.:D

We really liked the burgers at ABC Commissary although we were so hungry by this point I would guess just about anything would taste good (it was the only CS open since it was late evening).

We have always enjoyed ABC commisary and Pizza Planet. This trip I am looking forward to trying Starring Rolls for lunch. I love their muffins in the morning and their new lunch menu looks great!

So I'm a little turned around here...

Where exactly is Starring Rolls? I can't find it on a map and I can't remember where it is at. :confused:

Another vote for the ABC Commissary. There's enough variety there to please everyone in our group. Plus, they have more than the same old chicken and burgers that every other CS place has. I had a really tasty Cuban sandwich there on our last trip.

I have never tried Starring Rolls, but I do like Pizza Planet, it isn't bad at all for a CS. I like that you can get a salad with your lunch, not automatically fries!:mickey:

I like the Flatbread Grill. Not as well-known, but very good sandwiches (chicken caesar wraps and pulled pork, plus a grilled chicken dish).

Backlot Express was okay. We LOVED Starring Rolls. My family is still talking about it 2 years later.

Tried the Flatbread Grill last week and it wasn't bad. Although, I'm not sure why they call it the Flatbread Grill since the menu really doesn't feature any flatbreads.

Backlot Express is good... or just go for a Turkey Leg at Toluca. :)

We usually choose Pizza Planet. Although we were hughly disappointed with the atmosphere. Nothing like the movie at all. The pizza is good and you do get a salad for a side, which is a nice change of pace. We tried the ABC Commisary but hated the burgers, they were meskite flavored ( I know I spelled that wrong). It was too overpowering. When in MGM we do Pizza Planet for CS but most of the time we do Sci-Fi.

Side note: If you go to Pizza Planet they have an engraving machine that will take your picture and put it on a pendant to wear or put on a keychain. It is reallly cool and only $5 and makes a nice souvenier.

.....Backlot Express. Good variety of sandwiches. Take a peek at the menus under the Info Central tab for a better idea.

I agree - this is one of the best sandwiches ever!! Did you ever put honey mustard sauce on it - absolutely delicious? :tasty:

I also like the ABC Commissary, especially early in the morning for breakfast.
