Backlot Express is often overlooked as a great place to grab some food in Hollywood Studios, but because of its large dining area, consistently tasty food, and fast service (with mobile order), it is my go-to dinner spot every time I'm in the Park! Also, be sure to set aside some time just to peruse the old movie props throughout the restaurant...SO COOL!
Pros:
Large (air-conditioned) dining area (with patio seating as well), quick service, good food for the price, some healthy menu options, themingCons:

I mobile ordered lunch here. My food was tasty. I had the Cuban sandwich with fries and the Wookie Cookie. The Cuban was a solid choice. I didn't eat many of the fries, not because they weren't good but because I was saving room for dessert. Still, I didn't come close to conquering that giant cookie sammie! It was ridiculously tasty. I just couldn't finish it. The cream inside wasn't as sweet as I expected, which was a good thing. I loved the whipped texture. And the cookie itself was scrumptious!
Pros:
a/c portion sizes were generous plenty of seatingCons:

I hit this in mid-afternoon between meals, so it was relatively quiet and not too busy. My burger was large and very good! Enough to share if I hadn't been so hungry. Other meals we've gotten there have been satisfying as well.
Pros:
lots of seating indoors or outdoors, decent foodCons:

We shared the warm turkey and cheese on multigrain ciabatta bread, really good! What a nice surprise! They also had a pumpkin spice cupcake that was excellent, best of our trip and we tried 5 or 6 different cupcakes! We really enjoyed the seating and atmosphere here, will go back for sure!
Pros:

We seem to always end up at Backlot Express when we go to Hollywood Studios. We ate here the first week of Oct. The place is always very busy at lunch, but we found a table without too much searching. I had the chicken nuggets and DH had the burger - both were good and hot. The best part of the meal was the desert - we both got a seasonal cupcake that was carrot cake and was made to look like Witch Minnie.

Good FoodCons:

Good themed area and service was quick. We always eat here and try to get a seat near windows to see Star Wars show. The food choices are good and standard fare for Disney. The quality is good so you can always find something to eat.

I ate here on Presidents Day, Feb. 18, for lunch. Ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger and was surprised at how quick my order was filled, especially since they were packed. The burger was great, but the best part was the marble cheesecake. One of the best counter service desserts I've had.
Pros:
Good food, fast serviceCons:

We ate here twice during our January trip. Both times, my sister and I shared a CS meal on the dining plan and felt that it was more than enough food.
We had the chicken nuggets and carrot sticks/french fries, and tried both desserts.
The place was no frills, the service was speedy. The food was simple but warm and tasty. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside.
We would definitely eat here again!
Pros:
Food, quick serviceCons:

This is a good place to go if you are wanting the basic theme park food like burgers, chicken nuggets, etc. They also have some sandwiches and burgers you can only get there which is a nice way to switch up the usual cheeseburger. There is a decent amount of seating inside so it's nice for a little break from the heat while eating. They also have a lot of seating outside. I got the pulled pork burger and it was very good. Someone else in my party got the Cuban sandwich and it was also very good. Is it the best quick service ever? No, but it is a nice place to cool off and get a bite to eat.
