My DW and I love Cosmic Rays in MK.

We also enjoyed La Cantina De San Angel at Epcot and Sunshine Season Food Fair in the Land Pavillion

We also enjoyed the Chicken and Noodles in AK somewhere but I can't remember the name. Someone with a good memory on here will know.

At MGM... er.... Disney Studios... I really liked the Studios Catering Co. Flatbread Grill.

Bon appetit :thumbsup:

MK - Cosmic Ray's in Tomorrowland (I love watching the animatronics, and the food's good) or Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square -- if you're in the mood for some decent seafood

Epcot - Sunshine Seasons at the Land (they used to have this wicked good veggie lasagna at one of the kiosks and another had smoothies with gummi bears that was SOOOO good!)

MGM - Pizza Planet (it's just like being in the movie)

AK - I don't really have a favorite since I've only been once (sorry!)

We really enjoy Flame Tree BBQ at AK. It's at the Studios where we can't find decent counter service.

MK- Cosmic Rays for rotisserie chicken

EPCOT- Sunshine Seasons is good, but it's hard to pass up all the dining in World Showcase. We always have a ham and cheese croissant from the French bakery.

MGM- need more options here. We have enjoyed Starring Rolls for sandwiches

AK- We really like Flame Tree BBQ. I'm surprised more people didn't recommend this one.

For us it used to be the Tusker House in the AK, but that is now changing over to a buffet style restuarant. We also liked the choices over in the Land pavillion at Epcot.:mickey:

Animal Kingdom: I love Flame Tree..the food is always great and you get your money's worth!
At Epcot I really like Tangierine cafe in Morocco..delicious. I did not enjoy the Cantina at all...
MGM I am one of the few that likes the ABC Commissary
Magic Kingdom..I love Columbia Harbour house..but my kids do not. They only serve mac and cheese or a chicken salad..my kids do not like either of the choices.

Welcome to Intercot!:mickey: Cosmic Ray's is a must. However, beware of the Cantina in Epcot. Eventhough it is counter sercice the wait can be long. A few weeks ago when I was there, it was a 40 min wait to get your food.

Magic Kingdom- Columbia House... love the chicken strips! I thought those were available for kids too and not just mac and cheese and chicken salad, but I might be wrong. The chicken and rib combo at Cosmic Rays is pretty good too.

EPCOT- we prefer table service here, but the places in the Land used to be our favorite. We haven't tried it since it has been redone though since we've been eating at the restaurants. I was a fan of Fountainview Cafe though.

MGM- prefer not to eat there in general

AK- Flame Tree BBQ or Tusker House... Tusker House has a decent breakfast which is nice when you are waiting for your fast pass time for the safari.

In Magic Kingdom, I really like Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square. The restaurant offers unappealing fried selections, but some of the other sandwiches are quite good. I particularly like the one with hummus, broccoli slaw and tomato. The New England clam chowder is also delicious.

Certain World Showcase pavilions have solid counter service places, but I always eat at Sunshine Seasons Food Fair in the Land. This restaurant has a very diverse menus with several stations. I enjoy the turkey foccacia and all the desserts from the bakery section.

The Disney-MGM Studios really struggles to produce a single solid counter service eatery. My family tries to avoid all the options.

Tusker House Restaurant was my favorite place in Animal Kingdom, but it is being converted into a table service restaurant. Flame Tree Barbecue is supposedly equally delicious, but the menu does not appeal to my family.

MK - Nothing stands out for us...maybe Columbia Harbour House

EPCOT - Sunshine Seasons (i think that's the name) in the Land pavilion and Boulanger Patisserie in World Showcase, France. (Waits can be very long though!)

AK - Flame Tree BBQ - food and setting very nice. We also liked Tusker House

MGM - Not a big standout but maybe Starring Rolls

MK — Cosmic Ray's or Columbia Harbor House.

Epcot — Sunshine Seasons or Tangierine Cafe

Disney Studios — Backlot Express

AK — Sad to see Tusker House go. Hoping that Yak & Yeti will have an appealing menu. If not, we just might be taking a mid-day break at AKL to eat at their food court.
