Over here a regular five guys cheeseburger is about £8 which is about $12 without the fries. Always seems strange when someone in the US uses it as a cheap comparison

I didn't even know they had Five Guys in the UK.
Your prices are roughly triple what they are over here.

I've actually tried one of those.
Very dry, but surprisingly edible. It would at least give one an idea about what a patty is supposed to taste like.

I can understand that some people may not want table service, though. Similar to how the Mexican pavilion has a mexican restaurant inside that is table service and outside that is counter service.

What does table service have to do with this? Tortuga Tavern is not table service.

Oh.. Pshh.. I knew that. *slowly fades into the shadows out of a WDW convo I know nothing about*

No your family is not the only one. It's probably been 8 or 9 years since I've had a QS burger at WDW. I avoid them; the last one I had was disgusting. DH will occasionally have one, but it's been several years. At MK, we generally eat at Columbia Harbor House, AK is Flame Tree, we generally avoid QS at DHS, and Epcot we have several "go-to's". Generally none of the places we frequent offer burgers.

The new Skippers Cantina will be table service.

I tried a burger after many years not getting one. I took one bite and threw it away, it had a lot of gristle in it. Yucky!

What is in a Jamaican beef patty, as far as seasonings? I've never had one. I found the ingredients in another post, thanks anyway!

But that's not replacing Tortuga Tavern and it doesn't seem it is set to mimic it's menu either.

Can someone please explain this to me? How are the burgers at Pecos any different than Cosmic Ray's? I have had both multiple times and they taste exactly the same to me. Add to that that Cosmic Ray's has a toppings bar and it's the same darn thing.
I can understand complaining that you now have to walk to the other side of the park for a burger but complaining that they are taking away the burger option at MK seems silly to me. They aren't taking it away...IT IS STILL THERE...just not at Pecos.
As someone else said, they very well could be changing the menu at Tortuga. They may have realized that the offerings there are more desirable to people and wanted to put them in a larger venue to accommodate the crowds.
That being said, they aren't exactly duplicating the menu. The menu at Tortuga is quite small and what they have announced for Pecos new menu seems a little different to me. Yes, it is the same type of food but it may or may not be the exact same items done the exact same way. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I think someone got confused about Tortuga and mixed it up. Tortuga will remain counter service (as far as we know).
Skippers Cantina will be a new table service.

No doubt the burgers and fixin's bar at CR is the same as PB. I never said that they weren't. However, I find PB to be themed more nicely, smaller and quieter than CR and I also enjoy the other menu options (e.g. pulled pork sandwich). As for taking away burger options... They ARE. Plain and simple. Now there's one less place to get one. Whether or not that affects actual restaurant attendance, who knows. Surely at least a little.
And as for the menu mimicry, time will indeed tell. Right now, the scant details make it sound like they're identical. But yes, TT is a joke - it's hardly ever open.

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.
