Decent and quick. Good option if you didn't plan for a meal.

Ate here twice in Jan 2019 out of convenience and because the kids loved the honey mustard here. Chicken tenders were good, burgers were a bit bland and dry (which is pretty typical of a Disney quick service but without the toppings bar). We liked grabbing a table outside to watch the Padawan show, which is very cute.
Pros:
good Padawan show viewing from outside, good honey mustardCons:

We ate here since it was close to our attractions we had planned around lunch time. My husband ordered the Darth Vader chicken & waffles while I had the chicken nuggets because I couldn't make a decision. He really liked the chicken & waffles and enjoyed the Darth Vader cupcake as well. I thought the BB8 lemon cupcake was a nice compliment after my chicken nuggets. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for decent food at a decent price. They do have lots of seating available although its tough to find a spot when its busy.
Pros:
Great star wars themeCons:

I stopped in for dinner around 6:30pm on 8/13. The lines were on the long side but moved steadily. I ordered the Angus Bacon Cheeseburger with fries for an entree. For dessert options, they had three types of Frozen cupcakes; I chose the Olaf carrot cake one, which came with an adorable white chocolate Olaf on top of the frosting.
While it was relatively easy to find seating in one of the side rooms, I was disappointed to find that despite being open until 8:30, many of the condiment and plastic-ware bars, as well as the soda fountains, in all but the main room had already been closed down.
The burger was fine, just what I wanted. The cupcake was amazing though! So soft and not at all dry. I believe they are available at all DHS QS locations for the time being.
Pros:
Awesome "Frozen" cupcakesCons:

Backlot is a good place to eat because of the entrees, cupcakes and atmosphere. I like it so much I've been there 3 times. The last time I got Chicken Nuggets during my visit and they were really good. Exactly what you would expect them to be. The thing that made the meal so great though was the dessert. The Chocolate Cherry Cupcake that came with my meal was amazing. The cupcake is mostly chocolate with a cherry filling. It's a specialty cupcake, so it is only available at certain times of the year. Other times of year they might have a Lemon Meringue or a Strawberry Cupcake.
I also like the theme of the place, it looks like an old movie prop warehouse. There’s random props all over the place like the Toon Patrol car from Roger Rabbit, a mini sub, statues, paintings, etc. Even the toppings bar looks like a red tool chest. Plus there’s a refill machine in case you want to fill up before you leave and since I’m cheap/thrifty I always do.
Pros:

We went in here about 7.50 one evening, just before closing to get something before Fantasmic. I ordered the hot dog, which was OK-not as good as Caseys but fine for a quick bite. DH ordered the grilled turkey and cheese, and despite there being only 3 other people placing orders at the time, and the chef assembling it to order, still managed to morph into a veggie sandwich by the time we sat down. DH was not pleased (he hates veggies!) The CM that served me was most aplogetic and replaced it immediately but its very disheartening when there was so few customers in there for them to make that mistake.
Pros:
always good foodCons:
in a restaurant with only 4 people waiting they still managed to get our order wrong!tReviewed by Mich97 Review Date: 08/30/2013

Ate here this past July. Typical park food and decent food. Had no problems finding a seat but it can get crowded during peak meal times.

Ate here on 6/12. Good quick service, but overly crowded due to the rain storm that came in. Everyone taking shelther and seats from people actually trying to eat. Good turkey sandwinch, and chicken nuggets just like all the others.

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.
