My Top Quick Service Restaurants in Walt Disney World
Not everyone has time to do table service dining as it can eat away at precious park time, so that is where quick service restaurants come in. They are Disney’s fast food restaurants where you will be able to go in, order your food, and enjoy it at a quicker pace than a full-service restaurant.
I will be breaking down my top quick service restaurants in every Walt Disney World Theme Park
Magic Kingdom
Columbia Harbor House
Magic Kingdom has a lot of food options between snack carts, quick service locations, and full service dining. My favorite is Columbia Harbor House. This quick service is nestled in Liberty Square across from the Haunted Mansion. It serves New England-inspired cuisine like chowders and lobster rolls. I usually get the kid’s salmon (pro-tip kid’s meals come with a drink and two sides, so they are usually the better value). Still, I am not coming to this restaurant for the food. I am coming for the ambiance.
The restaurant has a second floor with many windows and tables that allow you to people watch and not fight over a table during peak dining hours. The second floor is great for resting, enjoying the AC, or hiding out during the rain.
Pinocchio Village Haus
Pinocchio Village House is located in Fantasyland across from the Carousel. It serves mainly flatbread style pizzas. But the real reason you want to dine at this location is a little unknown secret. Pinocchio Village Haus has a small section of tables in front of glass windows that look down into the It’s a Small World attraction. As a kid, I loved sitting at these tables and waving to all the people on the boats below. If you have small children, I recommend grabbing one of these tables as I think they will also be a big fan of waving to all the people on the boats below!
Epcot
Regal Eagle
There is always a festival happening at Epcot, so I would prioritize the festival food over a quick service as the festival food is only there for that festival and may change yearly. But if I had to choose a quick service, it would be Regal Eagle in the American Pavilion (though Sunshine Seasons in The Land Pavilion is a close second). Regal Eagle is a Muppet-themed BBQ restaurant offering briskets, burgers, ribs, and more.
You cannot go wrong with any food items here, but try the Mac and Cheese and their Garlic Toast as your sides; they are amazing! I am also a big fan of their S’more Brownie, and it’s my go-to if I have a chocolate craving and the festival does not have any chocolate desserts.
Sunshine Seasons
This quick service is nestled in the middle of the Land Pavilion between Soarin’ and Living with the Land. I like how it has a little bit of everything from salmon to tacos to pizza to sandwiches. You are sure to find something for everyone. I also love how big this restaurant is so you will not spend ten minutes trying to find a table after grabbing your food.
Hollywood Studios
Woody’s Lunch Box
Woody’s Lunch Box is located in Toy Story Land, right beside the exit of Toy Story Mania. They are well known for their Grilled Cheese sandwich, their Totchos, and their tarts (think more pop tart-like and less like a fruit tart), and for a good reason.
Woody’s grilled cheese is hands down one of the best-grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever had. It is on thicker bread with different cheeses… my words will never do it justice, so just try it. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner which allows you to try their various offerings throughout the day.
Pro-tip if you know you want to eat here while you are at Hollywood Studios, mobile order your meal earlier in the day to avoid having to wait longer for your food. The only downside to this quick-service restaurant is that it is outside with very little shade, so it is not fun in the summer. PS the adult lemonade hits the spot on a hot summer day.
PizzeRizzo
I am a huge Muppets fan so this restaurant holds a special place in my heart. Pizzerizzo is located in Grand Avenue right across from Muppet Vision 3D. It serves pizza and subs. The real reason you come to this restaurant is for its best kept secret, Rizzo’s Deluxe Supreme Banquet Hall. It is set up like a stereotypical wedding banquet hall and places 80s pop music. The room is usually empty so the kiddos can run around and dance and you can take a break from the Florida heat and crowds.
Animal Kingdom
Satu’li Canteen
Satu’li Canteen is in Pandora - The World of Avatar and is mess-hall-inspired American/out-of-this-world cuisine. I love how this is not your typical quick-service food at the parks. It offers a nice break from burgers, pizza, chicken tenders, etc. The main courses are similar to Chipotle, where you pick your base, protein, and sauce.
My go-to is the noodles, chicken, and creamy herb sauce. You also cannot go wrong with their Cheeseburger pods which are cheeseburger bao buns. They taste exactly like a McDonald’s burger in a bao bun (there are dupes for these at Trader Joe’s, but they do not quite hit the spot as the pods do). This quick service is always a welcome break from the regular theme park food, and everyone is always amazed when I take them to this quick service.
I hope you found this helpful! Please let us know if any of these are your favorite or if we missed your favorite quick service.
