The Best Quick Service Eats at Disney World

Our Favorite Quick Service Locations at Disney World

We said it before, and we’ll probably say it a few more times after this as well – we LOVE food, especially Disney food. Disney World has so much to offer in terms of delicious eats. From snacks, to quick meals, to relaxed sit down meals and dinner shows, to upscale dining options, Disney has it all. Today we have for you our favorite Quick Service dining options.

Disney World has over 100 quick service locations – this includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner locations that have a window or counter that you order at. We do not count ice cream, popcorn, churro or other such snack carts as counter service locations.

So, let’s get started!

Meals and Snacks

Landscape of Flavors – Located at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Landscape of Flavors offers unique quick service eats for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. We stopped in here for lunch during a day of resort hopping and really enjoyed it. The unique menu items include Challah French Toast, Tandoori Potatoes, Mussels Marinara, a Surf and Surf Burger, and so much more.

All-Stars – Our favorite resorts to stay at are the three All-Star Resorts (Sports, Movie, and Music.) We also love the food court options are these three resorts. So our list would not be complete without the End Zone Food Court at All-Star Sports, the Intermission Food Court at All-Star Music, and the World Premiere Food Court. These food courts all over a wide variety or choice for all three meals of the day as well as for quick snacks. Options include traditional breakfast options like waffles, bounty platters, omelets and more. Lunch and dinner options include burgers, flatbread pizzas, pasta, sandwiches, fish tacos, quesadillas, salads, and more. There is also a wide range of sweet treats that include pastries, cookies, cupcakes and ice cream available at each of these three resort food court locations.

Backlot Express – Located at Hollywood Studios Backlot Express transports you to a prop storage warehouse with so much to see, and delicious things to eat. The restaurant is located near Star Tours, at the menu has a touch of Star Wars to it. Here you’ll find The Dark Side Chicken and Waffles which include Darth Vader waffles, The Royal Guard Burger, Galactic Salad, a chocolate peanut butter Kylo Ren cupcake, and a vanilla BB-9E cupcake. In addition to the Star Wars eats Backlot also offers chicken nuggets, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, a Caprese Sandwich, and a California Club Sandwich.

Casey’s Corner – Casey’s Corner, located at the end of Main Street USA is the perfect place to stop for a meal with a view of the Castle! The menu here is inspired by ballpark fare! Hots dogs are the meal staple of the menu, with a new monthly dog each month. A Chili-Cheese Dog, a Mac and Cheese Dog, a plan dog, and a planted based dog are always on the menu. Additionally the menu includes Corn Dog Nuggets, Fries and Mac and Cheese.

Cookes of Dublin – Get a taste or Ireland at Cookes of Dublin in Disney Springs. We’re big fans of Irish food, and really enjoy dining at Cookes of Dublin (and the table service Raglan Road next door.) The menu here includes favorites like Fish and Chips, Beef and Lamb Pie, a Battered Burger and cookies.

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café – Cosmic Ray’s is located at the cross roads of Tomorrowland and Fantasyland and offers delicious eats like burgers, a Greek Salad, chicken nuggets and a Grilled Chicken Club. There are also two “Mobile Order Secret Menu Options,” a Pork Belly Burger and Galaxy Loaded Fries. Our favorite part about this restaurant, though, is the ability to customize your meal with the toppings bar! Toppings include lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mushrooms, peppers, and onions.

Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café – Pecos Bill’s is located in Frontierland and will fill you up! The menu features what I would call Tex-Mex favorites likes Beef Nachos, Fajitas, and Beef Rice Bowls, as well as salads, burgers, and more. The best part, like Cosmic Rays, is the toppings bar! Here you can customize your nachos, tacos, salads or even burgers with toppings like salsa, sour cream, cheese, mushrooms, peppers, and more! Pecos Bill’s also offers a TON of indoor seating.

Flame Tree Barbecue – If barbecue is your thing then you’ll love Flame Tree Barbecue in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Here you can take a break from your trek to enjoy your meal in the huge covered seating areas. The menu includes Chicken, Pulled Pork, Ribs, Baked Mac and Cheese, Watermelon Salad, Baked Beans, and Coleslaw. Barbecue sauce is available in the seating area, so you can add as little or as much as you would like to your smoked meats.

The Mara – Located at the beautiful Animal Kingdom Lodge, The Mara offers delicious eats with an African flair. Our favorite include the Braai Chicken Flatbread, African Potjie Stew, and Zebra Domes. Other menu options include flatbreads, Chicken and Bacon Sandwich, Tamarind Barbecue Pork Sandwich, burgers, chicken and more.

Sunshine Seasons – Epcot is all about showcasing different parts of the world, and Sunshine Seasons does just that. Located in the Land Pavilion this restaurant offers a variety of eats including sandwiches, pork loin, Mongolian Beef, pizza, salmon, chicken, grab and go wraps, fruit, salad, and desserts!  

Snacks

Aloha Isle – Located in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom, Aloha Isle offers tropical treats like Dole Whips, Dole Whip Floats, and pineapple spears We’re big Dole Whip fans, and if you are too you’ll know why this is one of our favorite quick service places.

Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies – Stop by Auntie Gravity’s for an ice cream or a float during your time in Tomrrowland.

Gaston’s Tavern – There’s no one like Gaston, and there’s nowhere quite like his tavern either. We like to stop by here for a giant cinnamon roll and to check out the decorating.

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe – No trip to Epcot would be complete without a stop in Kringla Bakeri in the Norway Pavilion. Our favorite treats here include School Bread and Lefse.

L’Artisan des Glaces – If you’re craving ice cream while you’re at Epcot be sure to stop into L’Artisan des Glaces for one, or two, of their delicious ice cream flavors. In addition to cups and cones of ice cream you can also enjoy macaroon ice cream sandwiches, warm pressed brioche ice cream sandwiches, and ice cream martinis.

Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie – Just a few steps from L’Artisan des Glaces you’ll find Les Halles and cases full of delicious, authentic French pastries.
