The Top 10 Quick Service Restaurants at Disney 

Disney Guests have become the most strategic theme Park goers on the map.

With Disney’s competitive dining reservation system, all eyes need to be on the My Disney Experience Mobile App to snag a seat at some of the most popular Table Service restaurants like Space 220 or California Grill. Whether a reservation fell through, isn’t available, or you prefer to power-walk your way through lunchtime to the next Lightning Lane, getting to know the Quick Service gems at Walt Disney World is crucial.

Even though Quick Service is in a dining league of its own, there are a few variations to remember as you navigate the Parks. These spots offer either counter service or cafeteria-style dining options. You won’t need a reservation to grab a bite at any of these locations, which is great for the laid-back Disney Guest.

Without further ado, let’s dive into Disney’s best Quick Service locations between the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney Springs.

Columbia Harbour House (Magic Kingdom)

A nautical bite to eat in the center of Magic Kingdom might just be the recipe for hungry Guests on the go. With New England-inspired decor in the dining area, seafood delicacies, and a featured lobster roll, Columbia Harbour House is the perfect place to get a quick, classy bite.

The Friar’s Nook (Magic Kingdom)

Are you beating the Magic Kingdom crowds at rope drop? That calls for a reward of crispy tots and sausage gravy for breakfast. With outdoor seating near Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train, you can start your day on the right foot before getting on the rides.

ABC Commissary (Hollywood Studios)

Fancy a buffalo chicken grilled cheese in between Hollywood Studios rides? Then ABC Commissary is a must for a packed Park day. Between the (now closing) Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and the Hollywood entrance to the Park, light bites like shrimp tacos and a Mediterranean salad are for the taking.

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo (Hollywood Studios)

Speaking of Mediterranean fare, Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo features vegetarian favorites and the scrumptious ​​Smoked Kaadu Pork Ribs. Situated in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Guests can grab a bite in an immersive land until it’s gone for good at the end of September 2023.

Flame Tree Barbeque (Animal Kingdom)

Flame Tree Barbeque is a fan favorite for a prehistoric bite near Dinoland, U.S.A., in Animal Kingdom. With a view of Expedition Everest and a sneaky seating spot (featuring bird friends who might try to steal your fries), it’s the perfect place to rest up with some fall-off-the-bone ribs.

Satu’li Canteen (Animal Kingdom)

Tucked away ​​in the Valley of Mo’ara in Animal Kingdom, unique dishes with vibrant flavors are available for Guests. Named Halle Bailey’s favorite dining spot in Disney (no big deal), Satu’li Canteen features rice bowls with vegetarian options like tofu and heartier choices like shrimp, chicken, and beef.

Sommerfest (Germany Pavilion, EPCOT)

The World Showcase is renowned for its cuisine, even when it comes to walk-up windows. One of the best super-quick spots is Germany’s Sommerfest. With traditional bratwurst, spicy paprika chips, and a decadent pretzel bread pudding, it’s the perfect pit stop for Guests eating around the world.

La Cantina de San Angel (Mexico Pavilion, EPCOT)

There’s nothing quite like cooling down with tacos and a margarita, and you’ll find all that and a bag of tortilla chips at La Cantina de San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion. With nachos, empanadas, guacamole, and Mexican sodas, it’s an irresistible stop on the go.

Les Halles Boulangerie & Patisserie (France Pavilion, EPCOT)

For early-entry Park Guests who want to start the day with a Bonjour to a pastry, Les Halles Boulangerie & Patisserie is a delicious stop. While lines get long throughout the day, a well-timed visit to savor Quiche Lorraine, Croque-Monsieur, sandwiches, croissants, and baguettes is always a good idea.

Chicken Guy! (Disney Springs)

While Disney Springs boasts high-brow Table Service restaurants like Morimoto and STK, it offers a more accessible option—with a guilty pleasure. With a kid’s favorite menu item, chicken tenders, taking over the menu, Chicken Guy! also offers sandwiches, salads, and over 20 sauces to try.

Throughout Walt Disney World Parks and beyond, there are high-quality eateries that aren’t just convenient but affordable. Keeping the budgets for spending and Park time under control is essential for successful Disney vacations, and Quick Service hot spots are proof quality and quantity can coexist at Disney.
