Favorite Quick Service?

[lily2521]

We're relying mostly on QS/Counter service while at DW. We have 1 res at Akershus, and might add another one at 1900 (haven't decided). If BOG opens we'll add that too (fingers crossed!)

We don't want to be too tied down to a reservation schedule, and we don't always eat lunch at noon. I'd like to eat when we're hungry, and not just because of the time of day. But I would also like to have an idea of what QS places we think would fit us. Based on some suggestions I got here on another thread, I am going through the list of menus, prices, etc. for the QS places in DW and compiling a list of what I think we'd like in each park.

But it got me thinking what everyone else likes for QS...so I'm just wondering, what are your favorite QS places, and why?

Is it the food, the cost, the ambience overall? I'm guessing QS places still have a general 'theme' to most of them

Thanks!

This is a great thread. Hope to see more responses. I actually never really gave much thought into pre-planning our QS. Just figured we'd find something close when we were ready to eat. Hoping to get a reservation for Be Our Guest lunch when they open up on the 25th though.

MK: BOG - newness, variety available
AK: Flametree BBQ - Nice size portions, something different
Epcot: Sunshine Seasons for variety but also have enjoyed Boulangerie Patisserie les Halles
HS: Been a while since I've eaten counter service there but it used to be ABC Commissary. Min & Bill's Dockside Diner menu looks good though
DD: Hands down Wolfgang Puck Express is my counter service of all time! You place your order and sit down and they bring your meals to you and it is served with real dishes and silverware so its QS that feels more like TS.

Thank you
I'm printing a list of restaurants for each park, and at least looking at the menus to see if it's something we'd even consider or not, hoping it will help as we're walking through, I'm just putting a * near any ones that I think would suit my family, and hopefully that way we won't waste our time with any that won't.

You've given me something completely new to obsess about for the next 100 days.

Does anyone happen to have a more approximate date for when Flame Tree BBQ will reopen? I'm just seeing a generic Spring 2015.

Our family enjoys ...
MK -BOG and Columbia Harbor House (Pecos Bill got rid of taco salad )

DHS- I know I'm in the minority, but Pizza Planet. DD's like to play arcade games, we like the AC (August trips) and there is a side caesar salad. Yummy Cappuccino cupcakes and usually a 'special' cupcake as DDP dessert.
We also like that it's across from Muppet Vision- we go after we've eaten to let our food settle
Starring Rolls- great use of snack credit or DDP QS credit with the sandwiches

AK- Pizzafari- AC and really neat themed rooms with ample seating. Food ok

Epcot- we split up here (2 for fish and chips in the UK and 2 for quiche/croissant meals at Les Halles in France).

DTD- Wolfgang Puck Express - BY FAR OUR FAVOURITE QS There is so much variety here and you feel as if you are at a table service meal. We like taking the boat from POFQ to DTD. We've had the pizzas, meatloaf, spaghetti, chicken fingers, rotisserie chicken, salmon, mac n cheese ... it's all delicious. Also, there is table service for drink refills. Dessert can be cream brule, brownie, cookie or frozen yogurt with fruit! After eating here it is nice to walk around DTD and do some shopping.

DTD-WOLFGANG PUCK EXPRESS-our favorite CS of all time, we eat here at least once each trip, they have delicious entrees that are TS quality at CS prices. My favorite is salmon and chicken dinners, pizzas, mac and cheese is loved by all of us. Crème Brulee there is better than other onsite TS places!!! (but by all means save room for some ice cream at Ghiradelli, lol) They also have amazing breakfasts as well.

MK-Columbia Harbour House, lobster roll and/or fish and chips and cobbler, yum!

EP-Sunshine Seasons-pork chop and chicken are awesome!

DHS-not a big fan of any CS there, usually head out to Boardwalk (burgers at Hurricane Hannah's/BCV CS are great!)

AK-liked Flametree , BBQ Chicken
