good eats!

[disneylandrea]

What counter-service eateries do you reccommend?
Are any better than the others, have a more diverse selection, setting, crowds, etc?
Thanks a bunch (:

I'm assuming you mean at the MK...

We like Cosmic Ray's because it is large, air conditioned well, and has entertainment. Also, Peco Bills is nice because the hamburger fixin bar is fantastic.

[wilshade]

Yep. In MK, Pecos Bill's and Cosmic Ray's are the best.

In Epcot it would be Electric Umbrella in Future World and Liberty Inn in World Showcase. Though dont miss the Kringle Bakery in Norway!

In MGM - ABC Commissary (gotta try the cuban sandwich) and there are a couple near the Star Wars area that are very good.

In AK - Tusker House used to be hands down the best. But, with that turning into a character buffet, than you have Flame Tree Barbeque and Pizzafari.

I am sure the other folks on this board have their favorites too. :thumbsup:

At MK, we love Columbia Harbor House. Rarely crowded and good food. Upstairs seating overlooking Fantasyland!

At Epcot, we eat at Yakitori House in Japan. Very tasty food, air conditioned seating (or beautiful outdoor seating in a Japanese garden).

We don't usually eat at MGM, can't help you there!

At AK, I love the seating for Flame Tree Barbeque. The pagoda by the lake has a great view of Everest.

@ MK
Pecos Bill's - Great Fixin's bar
Cosmic Ray's- Good variety of offerings

Epcot
Germany Pavillion- Bratwurst
Mexico Cantina- Excellent Nachos

Disney Studios
Backlot Express-great sandwiches, not just burgers and chicken.

Animal Kingdom
Flame Tree BBQ - great ribs, chicken and pulled pork. Great seating near the water.

Sunshine Seasons in the Land in Epcot.

Lots of different choices here! Not your typical burgers and fries.

[MsMin]

EPCOT is the one w/ many favorite, we love the Sunshine Cafe and Cantina are at the top.
The kids have enjoyed Norway and UK w/ the fish and chips.
@ AK -I love Tuskers b/c my kids are big on BBQ, they have a great variety
MGM- I'd rather go back to the resort or have 2 :bar:
MK- Pecos and Cosmic Rays...

[EmiB]

MK
Agree with Colombia Harbour House, Pecos Bill, and Starlight Ray

MGM
There's all kinds of food places down by Tower of Terror...it's set up as a farmer's market but I don't know the name.

Epcot
Most of the countries have a place to grab a quick bite to eat...I agree with going to Kringle Bakery-My parents love the rice cream whereas I go for the chocolate mousse.

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

Pecos Bill's might just be burgers (usually) but for some reason they just taste better there.

[TheRustyScupper]

1) We don't eat a lot of TS meals at WDW any longer.
2) With DDP, the menus are just too average.
3) However, we do enjoy some of the CS eateries.
. . . MK - Cosmic Rays, Harbor House
. . . Epcot - Liberty In
. . . MGM - Backlot Express
. . . AK - Flame Tree BBQ

NOTE: When you go to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café, make sure you say hello to my "good bud", Sonny Eclipse. Also give hearty wave to his three invisible backup singers.

[ElenitaB]

Just like Payroll Princess likes her burgers from Pecos Bill's, we like our chicken strips from the Backlot Express at MGM.

Here are our favorites by location:
Animal Kingdom — so sad to see Tusker House no longer be CS, but that leaves us with Pizzafari (great theming in the dining rooms) and Flame Tree Barbecue
Epcot — Sunshine Seasons, Tangierine Café, Yorkshire County Fish Shop
Magic Kingdom — Cosmic Ray's or Columbia Harbor House
MGM — Backlot Express
Downtown Disney — Wolfgang Puck's Express but one of these days, we've got to get to Earl of Sandwich

[crazypoohbear]

My boy's love Pecos' bills. They would rather eat here than at most sit down restaurants.:confused:
I like wolfgang pucks, (but it is hard finding a seat inside with the AC
Flametree in AK is very good.
I don't have any favs. at MGM. It's just blah I think, (At least for CS)

[snifflesmcg]

MK-
Comic Rays
Pecos Bill

Epcot
Electric umbreall

MGM
Rosies

AK
Flametree BBQ

DTD
Earl of Sandwich

[LandFan]

Mk: Pecos Bill's and Cosmic Ray's

Epcot: Tangerine Cafe and Cantina de San Angel. Sunshine Seasons is good too.

AK: FlameTree BBQ and Tusker House

MGM: None really. Try Sci-Fi instead.

[diz_girl]

Here's my :twocents:

MK - Columbia Harbor House or Pecos Bill's. If you're looking for food that is not burgers, chicken strips or pizza, then Columbia Harbor House is the place for you. Pecos Bills also has a great chicken wrap.

EPCOT - Sunshine Seasons (The Land) or Cantina de San Angel (Mexico). I've also heard good things about Tangerine Cafe, but I haven't tried it yet. At Sunshine Seasons my DH had Seared Tuna on Mixed Greens with a CS credit.

AK - Tusker House (until it goes TS). It's the only meal that I've ever eaten in AK, so I have nothing else to recommend.

MGM - I have nothing to recommend. Take a boat to the Boardwalk and try your luck there.

I'm assuming you mean at the MK...

We like Cosmic Ray's because it is large, air conditioned well, and has entertainment. Also, Peco Bills is nice because the hamburger fixin bar is fantastic.
