I like the food at Cosmic Ray's, especially the Caesar salad and BBQ pork sandwich, although I always try to hit it late to avoid the noise and crowds.
The Columbia Harbour House is another quiet place to get a nice meal, if you're in the MK and want fish and chips.
Casey's is another must-stop for a "Disney" hot dog. I'm not sure what it is about them, but I'm addicted to Disney's hot dogs.

Hmmm let's see
Mk: Columbia Harbour House. good for variety and it's sort of a tradition for us. Go sit upstairs, it's really cool to sit by the windows and look out at the Haunted Mansion. Also Casey's is a must tradition wise for us. I don't eat hot dogs often, but I always have to stop at Casey's!
Epcot: Sunshine Seasons (?) food court in the Land. GREAT variety and wonderful atmosphere. Good to get fastpasses for Soarin' and grab a snack. The Fish n Chips stand in the UK is a must for us as well. Portion is easily large enough to split (as we have found with most counter service portions, at least for us.)
MGM: I guess I don't really have a favorite here, but I'll say Pizza Planet because it's close to Muppet 3D and I can see it from there (I LOVE the fountain!) Pizza is a slight change from burgers and fries fare at most counter service, it's usually pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of ABC Commissary for some reason, not sure why.
AK: Flame Tree BBQ, certainly. Great portions and wonderful for variety. I love the seating, last time we grabbed a table with a view of Everest! Wait, maybe I'm getting this confused with Tusker House (someone please correct me if I am) but I don't think that I am(?).
Desserts: I can't say it enough, ALOHA ISLE IN ADVENTURELAND FOR THE DOLE WHIP! I read about this legend on the boards, but didn't believe in its powers until I experienced it for myself. We have to go at least 3 times a trip, the whole family are fans! I always get the float with pineapple soft serve, yum!
Also, the sweet cream cheese pretzels that can be found at various kiosks around the parks are a personal favorite of mine. And whatever the cheesecake with the marshmallows on top that they serve at Pop Century's food court. "Cosmic Cheesecake" perhaps?
Sadly, my only bad words are reserved for the crepe stand in World Showcase's France. Maybe it's because I've had an authentic Parisian crepe, but oy...what a waste.
Beverages: I've enjoyed all beverages consumed in World Showcase with one exception-- the Mexican "margarita", it was far too salty for my liking. I had the multi-color-layered one. In the non-alcoholic category, that stand near the teacups in MK, something "grove" I believe, has this wonderful raspberry(?) lemonade slushie type thing. love those.
Ok, I think I've made myself too hungry now, so I will stop.....

From reading above, I seem to be the only one who misses the old Land food court. We have some "extremely" picky eaters in our group and the old food court with the baked potatoes and soup were must eats for our family. There is nothing there my son (he's 20) will eat and my 16 year old niece also cannot find anything she will eat either. My brother is also a bit of a picky eater too. We ate there last summer but I don't think we'll be back anytime soon. Our fav counter service restaurant at Epcot is a tie, Electric Umbrella and the China place. MK, either Cosmic Ray's or Pecos Bills with a definite stop at Pinocchio's for Figaro Fries.

I have a lot of problems with my dietary restrictions--I can't eat anything greasy or fried or spicy. I try to eat healthy, so here are my picks:
MK- the Tomorrowland noodle place if it's open; Cosmic Ray's; Columbia Harbor House (I agree with the upstairs seating--facing Fantasyland to people watch or facing Haunted Mansion)--and I dream of Dole Whips all year! They are actually not dairy, but very creamy. Also, if the taco place (El Pirata y el perico, I think) is open across from pirates, you can use the toppings bar for tacos or salads.
Epcot- I love the new Sunshine Seasons, and my husband, Mr. Picky Eater, always finds something he likes, too. I also eat at the counter service place in Japan--miso soup and a California roll works for me, and my husband usually gets teriyaki chicken.
AK: The Flame Tree, with the wonderful seating on the water; if you want pizza, the theming in the rooms at Pizzafari are well-themed and usually pretty cool; and the Tusker House, especially for breakfast, is nice, at least until they make it a character meal.
MGM: I can usually find something at the ABC Commisary (especially for breakfast and lunch); Pizza Planet is okay if you sit at the windows upstairs, and they have a vegetable pizza that's pretty good as fake pizza goes. MGM is the hardest place for me to find something to eat quickly that won't make me sick.
Have a good time!
