Best Quick Serv Location

Where is the best place to eat at for QS meal??

 

[NYwdwfan]

Which park? In MK I love the Columbia Harbor house.

 

[jduran]

Hands down, Sunshine Seasons in Epcot.

If you twist my arm and ask me what else: Cantina de San Angel and Tangierine Cafe, also both in Epcot.

Worst QS? Anything in MK. Dining in general (from QS to TS) in MK is pretty awful. Your average mall food court has better food.

In all of WDW ?

I love Pizza Planet, not necessarily for the food but the theme. It needs more claw tho

But I've noticed most people like the qs from mexico and pepper market is pretty popular too

Where is the best place to eat at for QS meal??

My favorite QS meal (using the Dining Plan definitions of QS) is Wolfgang Puck Express at DtD Marketplace. The quality is up there with lots of TS meals. The price, if you're paying for it, is also more than other QS meals, but it's still just one QS credit. This is far better than anything at any of the parks or resorts that I've tried.

Also, if you're on the dining plan, use QS credits at the Pepper Market at Coronado Springs for better food than at most resort food courts.

In Epcot, Sunshine Seasons, Tangerine Cafe, and Yakatori are my favorites for food, and Sunshine Seasons wins hand-down for combination of food, location, convenience, etc.

At MK, I have no favorite. Pecos Bill, Pinnochio, CHH, and Cosmic Ray's are all fine, but nothing to get excited for.

At DHS, again, nothing exciting at all. I'd pick Backstage Express if forced, only because of the refillable drinks.

At DAK, I like Flametree Barbecue and the Yak 'n Yeti quick service. They aren't great, but slightly better than average.

My favorites by park:

MK - Probably Columbia Harbor House, though if you don't like seafood, you might want to try somewhere else.

Epcot - Lots of good options here, though Sunshine Seasons probably gets the nod for the awesome dessert choices. The new Cantina de San Angel is excellent and you get a really good meal at Tangarine Cafe too.

DHS - Weak options here, but Sunset Ranch Market has some decent options.

AK - Probably the Flame Tree BBQ from what I've eaten at.

Overall, Epcot has the best QS available, and essentially any country in the WS is a good option.

Just my 2 cents: Pinocchio's Village Haus has such a great interior decor, but the pizza is AWFUL. I'd avoid that at all costs.

The last time I ate at Backstage Express, the burger I ordered was *gray*. It also had the texture of a wet dishrag. You can imagine how it tasted.

At MK, Cosmic Ray's. Looking forward to finally trying that key lime pie at Sunshine Seasons on our next trip though!

Your going to get pretty much the same answers over and over here...

If a QS location sells Pizza or Burgers, it's going to be off the list (for the record, don't start craving pizza in The World -- there isn't a single good pizza place anywhere there, and I'm not kidding when I say that).

THe burgers are the same everywhere -- bland cafeteria style burgers with a condiments bar. Tasteless and overpriced.

What people will recommend are the QS counters that sell other options -- so you will find Harbor House there for MK (seafood); nothing at DHS, even simple wraps are awful; Flame Tree (BBQ) at DAK; and just about everything at Epcot WS that isn't the American Pavilion (burgers -- see note above).

In reality -- nothing stands out in any of the parks other than the food at Epcot's World Showcase countries...food in general at the QS locations is bland, not really filling, and overpriced -- usually quality is a bit worse than your local mall's food court. But it it will be servicable just about anywhere -- it really does boil down to where you are that day, and what you pass on your way from one line to another.

Let me just repeat: whatever you crave, suppress, no eliminate, that craving for pizza right away. I've eaten pizza all over the US and Europe, and I have never found worse pizza anywhere than at Disney property. You have been warned.

Downtown Disney has some good options -- but most people aren't going to be going to DD for QS meals while they are in the parks.

 

[wdwfan4ver]

MK - Columbia Harbor House because I love fried shrimp
Epcot - Sunshine Seasons
AK- never tried
Disney Hollywood studios- never tried either and no plans on.

The Earl of Sandwich. The highlight of every trip for us

 

[lwalker8]

1. Earl of Sandwich - You cannot beat this place. 5.99 for the best sandwiches in the world.

2. Flame Tree Barbeque - Great food, takes Tables in Wonderland for 20% off if you have the card. Great deal.

3. Any country in World Showcase - They all have great food. The new burgers in America are really great too. But Morocco, China, Japan and Mexico all have great options.

Sunshine Seasons I saw mentioned a lot, and they do have good food. However it is all far too little food (at least for me) for what you pay and leaves you starved for more. If you want to end up paying $15 a person to eat here then I guess it's awesome. But I'd rather eat elsewhere for half the price.

IMO Via Napoli has changed that. While I can get better pizza here, that is the same for just about all food at WDW (and for most people as well). The point is the pizza at Via Napoli is good, quite good. It is not like the dollar slices of frozen square pizza I used to eat at the little league field as a kid that are everywhere else at WDW>

THe burgers are the same everywhere -- bland cafeteria style burgers with a condiments bar. Tasteless and overpriced.

Sometimes you can get a good one. Every so often they surprise me. Again, not awe inspiring, but a decent burger.

What people will recommend are the QS counters that sell other options -- so you will find Harbor House there for MK (seafood);

I don't understand how people call CHH a seafood place. Fried shrimp and fried fish. And oh, I guess the tuna sandwich counts as well. Really it is a fried food place. Nuggets, fries, shrimp, fish, fry fry fry fry fry.

In reality -- nothing stands out in any of the parks other than the food at Epcot's World Showcase countries...

And Sunshine Seasons

Well, best sandwiches in Walt Disney World. Let's not get out of control about run of the mill cold cuts.

The price is right though.

MK- Pecos Bill (great double bacon cheeseburger, and taco salad); Cosmic Ray's, Columbia Harbour House (great tuna sandwich!)
EPCOT- Sunshine Seasons, La Cantina (HUGE order of nachoes)
HS- Backlot Express or Pizza Planet (not for the food, but we are huge TS nerds)
DTD- Wolfgang Puck Cafe (love getting "served" at a QS and GREAT food)

 

[WVParkfan]

Agree. Here are some of our favorite unique options at the parks:

Magic Kingdom:
- Fresh fruit and bakery items at Mainstreet Bakery
- Turkey Bacon Wrap or Caesar Salad at Cosmic Ray’s
- Chicken Noodle Bowl at Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station
- Tuna sandwich or Fried Fish basket at Columbia Harbour House
- Hotdog at Casey’s Corner on Main Street. Baseball-themed place that I love!
- “Dole Whip” icecream float in Adventureland. YUM!!

Epcot:
- Sunshine Seasons. Hands-down the best CS restaurant in Disney. Asian food, rotisserie chicken, salads, panini's.
World Showcase going clockwise:
- Mexico: Cantina de San Angel counter service tacos and enchiladas.
- Norway: Kringla Bakery has Danishes and homemade Norwegian breads.
- China: Lotus Blossom Café for stir fried shrimp.
- Germany: My favorite! Somerfest for a bratwurst.
- Japan: Yakitori House for Teriyaki Chicken.
- Morocco: Tangierine café for Falafel wrap with couscous.
- France: Crepe’s at Crepes des Chefs de France.
- UK: Yorkshire County Fish Shop.

Animal Kingdom
-BBQ ribs at the Flametree BBQ, or a pulled-pork sandwich
- If you have to go to Pizzafari, then get a Caesar Salad or Italian sub. Disney pizza is horrible everywhere.
- Tamu Tamu in Africa has a Tuna Pita or a Turkey and swiss on Focaccia.
- Sweet & Sour pork at the Yak And Yeti Counter Service.

Disney's Hollywood Studios:
- Backlot Express has grilled Turkey and Cheese with red peppers sandwich
- Studio Catering has a Pressed Tuscan Deli sandwich and a greek salad.
- ABC Commissary has a Chicken Curry with rice.
