Pecos Bill's menu revamp
I was just reading somewhere that Bill's is closing for 3 days at end of September for a menu revamp. No more burgers, no more cheese sauce. Burritos and rice bowls the new food view. Please tell me this isn't so! The free fixings bar is a major draw for my family, not sure even with updated grub that my heart would be in the place.

I just saw this and was coming to post. It was the only CS I ordered a burger at because of the fixing bar.
From Touringplans
f you are a fan of Pecos Bill’s you will notice a change on your next visit. Beginning September 28 and lasting through September 30, Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn and Cafe will be closed for refurbishment, however, the refurbishment work isn’t going to be changing the restaurant’s decor. Instead, when the Frontierland quick service restaurant reopens on October 1, it will feature a brand new menu; no more burgers!
The new menu that will soon be featured at the popular dining establishment will include delicious dishes like fajitas, burritos, and rice bowls. (Hmmmm….sound like the Magic Kingdom’s version of Chipotle? Also, could they maybe bring back the taco salad? That would be my wish anyway.)
No word on what will happen with the toppings bar with the refurb, though with the ingredients available currently, one would suspect that the toppings bar will remain with delicious offerings to use on your burrito or fajita.

The place to go when you were sick of burgers. The burgers and fixings were a great reprieve.

Glad we ate there last month. This is our favorite place for a burger topped with lots of mushrooms.
Another of my favorite CS places gone, if the menu change really happens. Adding to the current menu might be better; not everyone eats fajitas and burritos.

Overall I think they've done a fabulous job revamping the CS offerings. But, this sounds like a huge mistake. We really enjoy PB just as it is. I'm sure the new offerings will be tasty, but like others have said, we go there for the burgers and the toppings bar.

I wonder, are they just going to put in a Chipotle?
Plus, mexican food just seems so appealing. Besides, how does that fit into frontier land?

Well no menu has been posted so obituaries are a bit premature until we see that. Also, this isn't being done in isolation. The new Skippers Canteen will be opening soon and they have to reposition and revamp the menus so that each restaurant's offerings have unique items and don't overly compete with each other.

It doesn't sound like they are shooting for Mexican as much as south western, which does fit pretty well.
I'm kind of excited about this announcement. I must be the only one who finds the burgers thin, over cooked, flavorless, over processed, blech. All the mushrooms in the world can't save that.

I certainly wouldn't mind the return of a taco salad, if that's in the works.

I'm with you on the burgers. I know they are hugely popular but they have never been appealing to me.

I've always had excellent burgers there. I will miss it. I do love a good fajita plate, but there is no way they can pull off a "good" fajita plate there. I'll likely pass on eating here in the future.

I can't eat what's on the new menu. I didn't get a burger last time because I thought it was already something spicy. And why did they change to those awful chairs?

Well, living in Texas, we have Mexican (or, even better Tex-Mex) on every corner that is probably as good if not better than anything they can come up with. I think this is a bit of a fail. I could see BBQ maybe (western style spicy, not so sweet). And anyone who thinks Chipotle is Mexican food needs to come visit me sometime for a taste bud awakening tour!

They sure didn't help that kids' meal turkey sandwich.

The cheese sauce has been gone for a while. WDW removed self serve cheese sauce at all of the counter service restaurants. No one knows for certain, but it is suspected that this could be a result of nuisance lawsuits (you know, suing due to people burning themselves even though it clearly says "contents may be hot" ). As of yet, cheese cups aren't on menus as a substitute, at least they weren't when I was there over Labor Day weekend.

I have seen it reported on Dining specialty websites, so I am thinking this is most likely happening. I do agree that this is probably due to the new sit down restaurant. If there is a sit down restaurant in the specified land that has a burger, usually there isn't a counter service place with burger.
Cosmic Ray's isn't that far away and they have a fixings bar with I think has almost all of the same items.

But let's not forget the nightmare of having to cross to the other side of Main Street while Move It Shake It is going on, or even worse the 3pm parade.
It is a constant irritation to me that you can't get basic staples of American theme-park diets at most CS and TS locations. Even Cosmic Rays is a mess when you have to go through multiple lines to get what my local Sonic can bring to my parked car without it being a problem for them.
That's my on the matter.

Yeah, maybe my tastes aren't fancy enough. After walking around the park, in the heat and such. I don't want a burrito, or a lobster sandwich, sometimes I just want a burger and fries.
As someone said, I just want a sonic. Or a coney island. Frontierland is a little like Fort WOrth (where I live) how about a whataburger franchise?
Hmm. Might have to hunt be some squirrels like the guy looking for a low carb diet.
