    Default Favorite Counter Service Restuarants?

    Curious to know everyone's favorite counter service restaurant? Keeping price in mind; we're on a budget (not on the DDP).

    Thank you in advance!

    MK: Columbia Harbour House or Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe or Pecos Bill Tall tale Inn and Cafe

    EP: Electric Umbrella or Sommerfest or Yorkshire County Fish Shop

    DHS: Backlot Express or ABC Commissary (since the new menu started) or Pizza Planet

    AK: Flame Tree Barbeque or Yak & Yeti local Food Cafes

    These are our favorites, not necessarily the least expensive, but most are about the same for pricing anyway.

    Getting away from the standard fare burgers and chicken, we found 2 on our recent trip that were really good. They are not hidden gems or anything, just ones we had never tried before.

    Flame Tree BBQ at AK - 1/2 slab of ribs or pulled pork sandwiches (excellent!)

    Starring Rolls at DHS - great sandwiches and desserts.

    I prefer the fish & chips at Yorkshire (Epcot) to the F&C at MK's Colombia Harbor House. CHH does have good chicken strips though.

    MK - Peco Bill's and Cosmic Ray's Both have the fixin's bar. We love the pulled pork sandwiches and had rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes at Cosmic rays which can easily be split between two people.

    AK - Flame tree BBQ

    Epcot - Sunshine Season's. We had soup and salads here, Chinese dishes, and turkey wraps. All were great not to mention the deserts!

    DTD - Wolfgang Puck's Express - Split a Rotisserie Chicken with mashed potatoes here and a salad.

    Earl of Sandwich - we have had nice salads here.

    Don't have a favorite at DHS.

    We really like Pecos Bill's, but our absolute favorite place to eat in all of Disney and all types of service is breakfast at the Main Street Bakery.

    Only 36 more days until ham, cheese, and egg croissant, and a cinnamon roll, and a crumb cake..

    OK, I need a few minutes to compose myself right now...

    They are generally all the same price for CS meals. You can always pack some food and rent a locker at the park too.
    Our favorites are:
    MK: Pecos Bill and Cosmic Rays
    EP: Seasons
    HS: Pizza Planet
    AK: Flame Tree
