Some like counter service restaurants because they’re quick and they want to get back into the action. Some like counter service restaurants because they’re cheaper and you can feed your family on a “budget.” Whatever your reason, some counter service restaurants are better than others.
Here are the top picks for each of the parks:
Magic Kingdom – Want a hot dog? Casey’s Corner is king. But for a little healthier fare, try Columbia Harbor House. They have clam chowder, wonderful salads and a great tuna sandwich. Cosmic Ray’s is also a favorite among large groups. There is something for everyone: burgers, chicken, salads and sandwiches and plenty of seating.
EPCOT – Almost every country in World Showcase has a walk-up counter service option, so it’s all about personal preference here. Or you can eat at Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion. Large variety and fresh, fresh, super fresh ingredients.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios – Every Toy Story fan must try Pizza Planet. Not in the mood for pizze? Try the ABC Commissary. They have everything from cheeseburgers to a vegetable stir fry to tabbouleh wraps.
Animal Kingdom – Try the food at Yak & Yeti counter service without paying sit-down prices. Be prepared to share. They are known for large portion sizes. And the barbecue is wonderful at Flame Tree Barbecue, with ample shaded seating.
