Had lunch here on Monday, April 8th. Lines were long but moved quickly. Food came out promptly and fresh. Ordered the lighthouse sandwich (hummus and broccoli slaw), a couple shrimp platters and an extra side of fresh steamed broccoli. Sat upstairs and enjoyed the ample seating, quiet atmosphere, and good food. Had a chuckle moment when a family from England at the table next to ours received their food. The young girls at the table looked at their baskets of fried fish and individual bags of potato chips and said in their sweet little accents, "where's my chips, mummy?"
Will return again and again, one of the fam faves.
Pros:
food, atmosphereCons:

We had not eaten here for several years, although we visit the World at least yearly - guess we kind of overlooked it even though we had eaten there before. We were so glad we returned, our experience was great.
We ate lunch here during our first day 02/21/13 right after we entered the park. We were hungry and tired after the arrival and checking in process. MK was very busy, so we went to where we thought would be a restful spot -- and we were right.
We were a little nervous when we saw the refurbishing scrims up, but no need to worry, once inside the experience was as usual. The lines moved very quickly, and there were cast members waiting to assist and answer questions. We ordered the chicken salads and drinks, and headed up the stairs to find a table.
The best place to eat and people watch is to snag a table on the bridge over the walkway to Fantasyland. It was quiet, restful, and people watching was great! Our salads were very good with lots of chicken. We planned the rest of our day, relaxed and just enjoyed being HERE - at the MK, our favorite place. Be sure to head upstairs for the most enjoyable experience. The menu had changed somewhat from our previous visits - for the better, and all the meals we saw looked plentiful and good. The dining areas were kept clean and there were lots of cast members chatting with folks to answer any questions and
offer suggestions.
We will put this counter service spot back on our must do list.
Pros:
upstairs bridge great place to relax, good foodCons:

This is another staple for us, we order and take it out to the electric parade route and eat while we wait for the parade while saving our front row seats. My husband and I both had the shrimp platter which was delicious. He had an apple something for dessert which was yummy, he bought me the chocolate cake, which I think was gluten free, and if it wasnt it sure tasted like it and I didnt really like it. My daughter had the kids chicken which I was so happy about, REAL chicken not greasy fake chicken nuggets and she had yogurt and grapes as a side. She ate every bite and asked to go back.
Pros:
Convience to seating for parade, unique offering for QSCons:

We ate at Columbia Harbour House on January 5th, 2013. We have not eaten here in several years, but we were meeting friends at Magic Kingdom that day and so decided to all have lunch here. We arrived at around 12:30 and were handed a menu and directed by a cast member toward an ordering station. I was anxious to try their new shrimp dishes and my husband wanted to try the salmon. My son does not like fish so he ordered the chicken. I went upstairs and found our friends. Although it was crowded and we were a party of almost 12 (with the 3 families combined), we were able to find 2 tables together. My husband and son brought the food up and it was still hot. My shrimp was fried perfectly, crispy and not overdone. It came with a small order of slaw and french fries. I am a pretty big eater and still I had enough shrimp to share with my husband. The condiments bar includes dipping sauces, mayo and ketchup as well as tarter sauce and cocktail sauce so I had my pick of what I wanted for both the shrimp and fries. My husband's salmon was very good he said. It was hot, cooked well and not overly seasoned. He was very pleased that they offered it with healthy sides. My son's chicken was what you would expect from a typical fast food place, but he enjoyed it. Others in our party ordered the tuna sandwich (which I have enjoyed in the past), the fish dinner and the chili. They all enjoyed it. The 3 small children in our group either had the children's chicken nuggets or ate off their parents plates. no complaint from anyone on the food. We will return here again, if for no other reason that to enjoy the salmon and fried shrimp! It's a great alternative to the typical quick service fare.
Pros:
food taste and qualityCons:

This is one of our favorite quick-service restautants in Disney. We've never had a bad meal here. My husband likes the shrimp basket or the fish and chips basket. They are both good. They've changed the menu up from our last visit and it's still just as good with a great variety. I got the broccoli salad that was a good portion, had a nice variety of ingredients, and is delicious! The sandwiches are always tasty too.
One of the other nice things about this restaurant is that we never have a problem finding a seat. There is a nice seating area upstairs that can be a nice 'escape' from Disney craziness!
Enjoy!
Pros:
Fresh, different, and tasty foodCons:

Gluten friendly chicken strip meal is very large. Could probably be shared by 2. It was not as good as the one at Backlot Express at HS, but it was a decent meal, which is not easy to come by at MK. Also, lots of seating in the air conditioning. They offered gluten free cookies and a brownie as well. We liked the brownie very much.
Mobile order was very fast at 11am restaurant opening time.
Pros:
air conditioning lots of seatingCons:

We ate here as a spur of the moment late lunch and we were not disappointed. There was something there for the whole family and the prices (at the time) were comparable to most fast food fish places. I can't wait to come back and try their lobster roll this time. All in all, a good experience. Protip, sit on the second floor. It's a lot less crowded and you can't beat eating out of the sun!
Pros:
Good food, plenty of indoor seating, something for everybody.Cons:

A solid choice for lunch or dinner. Lobster roll was good but it needed a little more lobster. A little hard to find a table downstairs
Pros:
Each room themed to a different shipwreck, food is decent. Roped off seating area for disabled/ecv guestsCons:

I really enjoy the times I have been to this restaurant. I love the Lighthouse Sandwich as well as other options on the menu, which is surprising because I am not a seafood fan. The theming is very nautical and there is a LOT of seating. Go upstairs for hidden seating!
