WDW Must Do Counter Service Restaurants & entree

[Philhar-Fanatic]

Magic Kingdom-not a big fan of anything here

Epcot-La Cantina

Hollywood-Backlot for burgers Starring Rolls for Ham or Turkey Sandwich

Animal Kingdom-Flame Tree for Turkey Sandwich or BBQ Chicken
Yak and Yeti for egg rolls, fried rice, and a safari amber or two!

DTD-Wolfgang's for ANYTHING ON THE MENU :sohappy: Earl of Swch

In my opinion, there are no "must-do" counter service eateries in WDW. Their fast food has gone down the crapper in the past 10 years.

Unfortunately agreed - I read this thread and I couldn't think of a single thing that I just "had to have"....

Magic Kingdom: to me nothing stands out as that good or bad.
Epcot: Sunshine Seasons
Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ
DHS; eat before you get there

I really enjoyed the empanadas at La Cantina last year. It is the only CS meal I plan to have on my next trip.

our choices....

Our family choices are -

MK - Columbia Harbour House and Casey's Corner (we've eaten at CC on every trip but this year will be the first time we aren't)

EP - Sunshine Seasons

AK and HS - we've not tried any counter services in either of these parks yet! :shrug:

Cosmic Rays is a must for our family, my wife always orders the chicken and my son always orders the ribs.

Magic Kingdom
Columbia Harbor House for fried shrimp and fish
Casey's Corner for hot dogs and corn dog nuggets
Pecos Bills for burgers and pulled pork

EPCOT
Sunshine Seasons for chicken, desserts and stir fry chicken
Snacks around World Showcase

DHS
Starring Rolls for giant cupcakes

AK
Flame Tree BBQ for chicken

Nice to see Starring Rolls mentioned many times in this thread. I enjoy it as well and there really is not much to choose from in DHS. Pizza Planet is cool for families with kids.

It looks like everyone is posting dining options in the parks only. I highly recommend Captain Cooks at the Polynesian. Just hop on the monorail from Magic Kingdom and enjoy a great meal in a beautiful setting. It is a casual counter service that serves sandwiches and light fare. My favorite is the "Grown up Grilled Cheese" sandwich served with homemade chips. The serving is big enough to share too! Also, don't forget about Earl Of Sandwich at Downtown Disney! There is enough on the menu to eat there every day of your trip and not have any repeats! I keep wishing for an Earl to open here at home but until then I'll have to wait for my yearly trip to WDW!
