Best Counter service.

[sixshot19]

Our next trip is in October (feels like forever), and I am planning as best I can.

We always eat at the same counter places every time we go....Casey's, Flame tree BBQ, Mexican Pavilion, Etc.

Tell me your favorite Counter Service "joint". And your favorite item there, so I can expand my dining options with confidence. Thanks.

2 that we always do are Columbia Harbour House in the MK and Earl of Sandwich at DTD. My 10 year old also LOVES fish and chips and eats more than his fair share at Yorkshire Co. in Epcot

Those are my favorites also, plus the dole whip stand!

Columbia harbor house
We feel in love with it on our last trip and at there twice. Dh had the shrimp basket and I had a very good fried chicken salad. We also sat upstairs, and it wasnt crowded at all either times.

My favorites are Columbia Harbor House in Liberty Square for the Anchors A'weigh sandwich yummm!! Sunshine Seasons is a GREAT one in The Land Pavilion.. so many good choices and the desserts are just YUM!!!

We used to love Cosmic Ray's but we just don't feel its the same at all anymore.. everything costs more and you get so much less. The Chicken ceasar salad used to be awesome there, mixed up and served in a bowl w/ awesome ceasar dressing, just so good and we'd order fries on the side.. a perfect meal, not too filling! last time we went we were shocked that it was a few pieces of dry lettuce and a piece of chicken on a small plate.. redic!!

Pecos Bills Cafe is another one of our favorites, Electric Umbrella at Epcot, Flame Tree BBQ at AK is very good!

I just noticed you are going in October. You can easily make a meal of snacking around the food and wine festival in EPCOT. We prefer to hit that at lunch when it's less crowded.

Ours too! They also added a shrimp basket when we were there. We love sitting upstairs watching guests walk between Frontierland and Fantasyland.

Most of my favorite CS places are at the resorts. They seem to offer a wider variety than the standard burgers, chicken nuggets and fries! They are:

*Contempo Cafe at CR (try the Black Forest Cupcake for dessert - YUM!)
*Artist Palette at SSR (They have a fantastic salad on their menu!)
*Captain Cooks at the Poly (Self-serve Dole Whip machine!!)
*Everything POP at POP (Great variety)

My other favorites at the parks and in DTD are:
*Flame Tree BBQ at AK
*Columbia Harbour House at MK
*Tangierine Cafe at EP
*Yakitori House at EP
*Wolfgang Puck Express at DTD

OK, I'm ready to add my 2 cents.

We like:

MK -
Columbia Harbor House - Shrimp, or chicken, or fish - and chips - and sitting upstairs by a window people-watching.
Casey's - After dark - eating a hot dog at a table with a view of the Castle.
Cosmic Ray's and Pecos Bill's - I agree with everything that's already been written.
Bakery - For obvious reasons.

EPCOT -
Sunshine Seasons - Great choices.
Electric Umbrella - A tradition from the days when it was known as Stargate - any time of day at an outside table watching the fountain show.
France - Bakery treats, hoping there's a place to sit.
Liberty Inn - The big draw here is sitting outside, especially if there's a show going on at the Theater or nearby. Back in the days of the Tapestry parades, we always planned a meal during parade time.
Norway - Almond pretzels (yum!), and open faced sandwiches.

DHS -
Backlot Express - Grilled turkey sandwich - try it with some honey mustard sauce. Delicious!!
Commissary - No particular reason, other than tradition.

AK -
Yak & Yeti - I tried this several trips ago, and keep going back.
Restaurantosaurus -
Pizzafari - Pizza and breadsticks
Flame Tree - I tried the pork sandwich last trip for the first time. I can't wait to go back for another one next month.

DTD -
Earl of Sandwich - Biggest problem here is deciding which sandwich you want. There are many choices.

ASMusic Food Court -
Parmesan-crusted chicken.

POP Century Food Court -
Tie-dyed Cheese Cake

Everywhere in the World -
Mickey Bars - Vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate always seems so much better when it's in the shape of our favorite corporate icon.

So, im totally hungry now! I agree with all the above counter service,especially Casey's @ MK as tradition more than anything else. Its been a family tradition since I was a kid.

We ate at Yakatori House in Japan on our last trip and it was delicious (if you like that sort of thing-our 14 year old tried sushi for the first time!I still wont eat it, but i had a good salmon and rice dish).

Sunshine Seasons at the Land Pavillion in EPCOT, too!

Great, fresh ingredients with a more sophisticated menu than traditional counter service: Turkey and Monterey Jack Cheese on Foccacia, Roasted Beets and Goat Cheese Salad, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Ginger Mongolian Beef, Rotisserie Chicken, Roasted Pork Chops, Grilled Veggie Flatbread, Stir-fry, and a FANTASTIC BAKERY (tons of desserts and pastries)!

And for kids they have the regular kids menu items plus mac and cheese !

I've been tempted to stray from Flame Tree to try Yak & Yeti CS (sit down was good) but I can't live without my BBQ, and I love the view. Cosmic Rays is always a must for DD and I also.

[mgmnut]

When at MK we always eat at Peco Bill's at least once each trip. Columbia Harbour House is good too.

Tried Yak and Yeti CS at AK last trip and it was great, best CS I have had I think.

[DisneyorBust]

At Magic Kingdom we like:
Pecos Bill's- burgers and fixins bar
Columbia Harbour house- Shrimp basket is always good.
DHS: Back Lot Express- I like the grilled turkey sandwich, something different than burgers etc
Epcot: Sommerfest for me, a Brat and a beer somehow tastes better at the Germany Pavillion.
AK: I like Flame Tree, pretty good pulled pork sandwich. Have never been to Yak & Yeti but it does look interesting.

Ah yes. When you want a meal that's sure to fill you up, a burger with a collossal mountain of mushrooms.
