Top Three Walt Disney World Quick Service Locations – In Each Park

Today, we are talking about the Top Three Walt Disney World Quick Service Locations in each park of the resort.  Quick Service restaurants are a great way to get a speedy meal in the parks without requiring a reservation.  And the theming and variety of menu items offered at these locations is top notch!  We aren’t just talking burgers, chicken nuggets, and pizza, here people! 

At Walt Disney World Quick Service locations, you can expect to find menu concepts from Disney’s top chefs, specialty ingredients, and flavors from all around the world (and OUT of this world!).  Not to mention, Disney is incredibly accommodating to anyone who may have certain food allergies or dietary restrictions.  Are you ready to tour the Top Three Quick Service Locations in each park of Walt Disney World?!

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is made up of several different themed lands: Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.  Park goers can expect to find dining offerings in each land themed to fit their surroundings. 

1. Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn and Café – Frontierland

This western saloon-themed Quick Service location in Frontierland features a TexMex style menu.  Here, you can expect to find fajitas, tacos, and nachos as well as traditional burgers and salads.  And don’t forget about the mini churros for dessert!  Pecos Bill’s is open for lunch and dinner and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available.  Meals here can be QUITE large, making it a great place for thrifty parkgoers to share entrees.  Another great value is the FREE toppings bar!  Guests can load up on as many fresh veggies, cheeses, dressings, and salsas as their hearts’ desire.

2. Casey’s Corner – Main Street USA

This popular baseball-themed restaurant on Main Street serves up hot dogs, corn dogs, and plant-based dogs with a variety of fun toppings.  Parkgoers can expect to find chili-cheese, pickled slaw, and mac-and-cheese add-ons as well as a creative “limited time” offering featured on the menu. Casey’s Corner is open for lunch and dinner. And if you are lucky, you can catch a live piano performance in the outdoor seating area! 

3. Cosmic Ray’s – Tomorrowland

You can expect to find a variety of traditional theme park food at Cosmic Ray’s such as burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs.  This may seem “ho-hum” at a glance, but the preparation is quite good and there is almost always a fun experimental burger or sandwich available as a limited time offering.  The major draw at this Tomorrowland Quick Service spot is the atmosphere.  Guests are entertained by the stellar performer, Sonny Eclipse, as he sings and plays the piano throughout the day.  Kids and adults alike will enjoy this lively performance as they refuel for the parks.

***I have to mention here: BEFORE COVID, Be Our Guest Restaurant offered breakfast and lunch in a Quick Service fashion while requiring reservations. We had reservations for Quick Service lunch on our last trip and it was INCREDIBLE! If they ever return to a Quick Service breakfast or lunch in the future, this would be my NUMBER ONE recommendation for Magic Kingdom park.

EPCOT

EPCOT’s Quick Service offerings are REALLY hard to narrow down to three. There are SO many interesting offerings here, especially the international flavors found throughout World Showcase. But, I promised you THREE Quick Service spots, so here they are!

1. Sunshine Seasons – Land Pavilion

This Quick Service location in the Land Pavilion is a great place to find a wide variety of healthy menu offerings.  Serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, guests can expect to find wood-grilled entrees, Pan-Asian inspired dishes, and unique burgers and sandwiches.  The desserts are also AMAZING, and there is typically a limited time offering that is highly instagramable.  You know that fun boat ride through Disney’s greenhouses known as Living With the Land?  Those fresh ingredients are utilized at this VERY Quick Service spot! Make sure to visit the attraction to fully appreciate these fresh menu offerings. 

2. Katsura Grill – Japan Pavilion

Katsura Grill is a great Quick Service spot in the Japan Pavilion.  The menu includes popular Japanese dishes such as sushi, noodles, teriyaki, and curry.  Not only is the food fantastic here, but the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful.  There is seating available indoors, but if you head outside, you will find a gorgeous garden area with Japanese details.  Dining here, you will feel transported to a peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of the parks.

3. Regal Eagle Smokehouse

Located in the American Adventure pavilion, Regal Eagle salutes the various styles of barbecue found throughout the United States. The meats are smoked over oak wood and include ribs, chicken, and brisket. Get the Loaded Burnt Ends Fries!!! You will also find burgers, salads, and vegan barbecue options available to suit a wide variety of palates.

I’m a big fan of sauces, and Regal Eagle has four delicious house-made options to choose from. And the best part, the restaurant is themed to one of our favorite Muppets – Sam Eagle!

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is home to some of my favorite Quick Service restaurants in Walt Disney World.  The flavors here range from traditional theme park fare to exotic flavors of Asia and Africa.  This is definitely the park to try something new and exciting!

1. Satu’li Canteen

This Quick Service restaurant, located in the Avatar world of Pandora, is rich in theming.  Designed as a former RDA mess hall turned Na’vi Quonset-hut, guests can observe gorgeous Na’vi artifacts throughout the dining facility.  The menu features international-inspired cuisine meant to reflect the abundance and beauty of the world of Pandora.  Guests can enjoy build-your-own-bowl offerings, cheeseburger steamed pods, and otherworldly desserts.  This menu is incredibly innovative for a Walt Disney World Quick Service restaurant boasting healthy and flavorful options.     

2. Flame Tree Barbecue

Flame Tree Barbecue serves up smoked ribs, pork, and chicken accompanied by traditional barbecue sides such as baked beans and coleslaw.  There is also a plant-based hot link smokehouse sandwich for vegetarian or vegan parkgoers.  Portions are quite large here, making meals a great value for those wanting to share entrees.  In addition to the great food, guests can enjoy beautiful views of the lake, surrounding wildlife, and Expedition Everest in the distance. 

3. Harambe Market

This Animal Kingdom Quick Service location is themed to replicate an active African marketplace.  The menu features African-inspired cuisine such as ribs and chicken bowls, cilantro rice, and fresh salads.  Be sure to check out their dessert offerings as well!  Currently, you will find an adorable Simba cupcake featuring an image of the beloved lion with a mane of colorful icing.

Hollywood Studios

In the past, Hollywood Studios has left parkgoers wanting when it comes to their Quick Service offerings. However, they have really stepped up their game in recent years with the addition of new Quick Service locations as well as fun seasonal offerings!

1. Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

This Quick Service restaurant is housed in a hangar bay of Black Spire Outpost on the distant planet of Batuu.  Like all things located in Galaxy’s Edge of Hollywood Studios, you can expect to find rich Star Wars theming here!  Docking Bay 7 serves lunch and dinner.  All the dishes here are incredibly themed to the land and have otherworldly qualities in how they are presented.  We tried the Smoked Kaadu Ribs (BBQ pork ribs) and Fried Endorian Tip Yip (fried chicken), which were incredibly delicious!  Even the side of broccoli was fantastic, my kids actually ate it!  The quality of food here is top-notch and the theming really makes it stand out.

2. Woody’s Lunch Box

At this Quick Service location in Toy Story Land, you can expect to find delicious comfort food, imaginative theming, and charming details.  Woody’s Lunch Box serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a themed area resembling Andy’s toy-laden backyard.  The counter service windows are designed to look like Andy’s overturned lunch box, and the seating area is comprised of oversized toys and Babybel cheeses (a sponsor of Walt Disney World).  The menu contains a variety of sandwiches, tomato basil soup, the famous “Totchos” (tater tot nachos), and Lunch Box Tarts for those looking for a sweet treat. 

3. ABC Commissary

This studio-inspired commissary is located right on Commissary Lane in Hollywood Studios.  The theming here reflects the Art Deco movement of the 20s and 30s, and guests can find movie posters, props, and other items from ABC television shows.  The menu features sandwiches, tacos, salads, and plant-based options with international flair.  ABC Commissary also features some fun seasonal desserts you should be sure to check out!

Disney Springs

Known as the food and shopping district of Walt Disney World, Disney Springs has TONS of great Quick Service locations to suit any palate. Here are my top three!

1. Polite Pig

At this Quick Service location, you will find amazing wood-fired BBQ.  The quality of the food here matches that of Table Service locations. 

The menu contains several appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and sides.  But if there are several people in your group I highly recommend ordering the Butcher Board to get a little taste of everything Polite Pig has to offer.  The board contains polite pork, smoked chicken, prime rib, and cheddar sausage with slaw, pickles, cornbread, and a choice of two additional market sides.  To cap off your meal, but sure to check out the large selection of craft whiskies Polite Pig has to offer!       

2. Morimoto Asian Street Food

Morimoto Asia is an INCREDIBLE table service restaurant in Disney Springs, but if you weren’t fortunate to snag reservations or are only looking for a small taste, Morimoto Asian Street Food is an excellent Quick Service option!  The Pan-Asian menu offers popular Morimoto dishes such as the ramen, baby ribs, and egg rolls.  This is a great location to get a taste of what Morimoto has to offer! 

3. Cookes of Dublin

This is another great Quick Service location that shares its kitchen with the popular Table Service restaurant, Raglan Road.  For those looking to get a taste of the Irish fare offered at Raglan Road, but not looking to spend time and money on Table Service reservations – this is a great spot for you!  Cookes of Dublin offers a limited Irish Pub menu featuring fish and chips, burgers, sandwiches, and more!

I hope you have enjoyed these Top Three Walt Disney World Quick Service Locations in every park!
