Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
Never had a bad experience at any QS restaurant. I don't care for Gasparilla Grill at GF though but other than that I have enjoyed pretty much all of them we have tried.

I don't particularly like the Artist's Palate at Saratoga Springs, but I'm assuming you mean in the parks. At Hollywood Studios, I was never a fan of the ABC Commissary, but now with Pizza Planet closed it may be a necessity. Honestly, they are all more or less the same in quality. Read the menus online and pick the ones that appeal to your taste.

I posted this on another thread called "Everyone's Best and Worst Dining Experiences?" under the General Forum, on page 8. This is at the Food Court of the Art of Animation Resort just recently. The first picture is what is advertised and the second picture is what was served...need I say more?

What?!? That is absolutely crazy. I have never seen such a discrepancy and I've eaten at a lot of QS places.

I'd say the QS spot over at the Mexico Pavilion. Not that it's bad, but it is terribly overrated. In my experience, long lines and crowded for food that's just barely on par with Qdoba.

Believe me, we totally didn't expect what we received. We were going to complain about it but figured we would share it here so others don't make the same mistake.

Sorry you had a bad experience there. Having eaten there multiple times without incident, I think you might just have gotten unlucky.

That an itty bitty piece of lettuce poking out from underneath? Should there even be lettuce on that sandwich?

Yah I was under impressed at their offerings too.

We've ate at ABC Commissary over at HS twice. It's got an air conditioned dining area and that is the only good thing I can say about it.

To echo what others said, I've never had a "bad" disney CS experience. I do find that a lot of items (hamburgers, chicken , corn on the cob, pasta) at WDW CS places tend to be rubbery and overcooked, and sometimes things that should be piping hot are only lukewarm, but that's something all CS restaurants nationwide struggle with when trying to prepare and keep mass quantities, so it's nothing that would make me consider a meal to be "bad."
For that reason, I don't avoid any particular CS places -- but I do stay away from certain menu items that I know I'm not going to love (e.g., burgers, because I like them rare and juicy, and a CS location can only offer well-done), and order things that are either freshly prepared or that tend to keep/reheat well in a CS setting (BBQ meats, quiche, salads, cold sandwiches, flatbreads). We also tend to choose CS venues that offer something we can't easily find at home (e.g., shawarma platters at Tangierine Cafe at Epcot's Morocco pavilion, lobster rolls at MK's Columbia Harbor House).
EDIT: LOL! I see that WDWMagic bleeped the word, "b.r.e.a.s.t.s" above. Should I have called them "chicken bosoms" instead?

There really needs to be some kind of context filter, because this is getting ridiculous.

I agree. Not only that, but there is nothing offensive about that word. It is not a vulgar slang term, but the highest, best and most respectful word to use, no matter what species' mammaries are being discussed.
