We ALWAYS go to Columbia Harbour House for lunch our first day at Magic Kingdom. It may be quick service but it is quality food. I got the lobster roll which was very good and my dad got the seafood combo platter and was very happy with the freshness and taste. My mom and sister got the chicken fingers which was also very good albeit classic quick service food. The Harbour House used to have a chicken pot pie and a colonial salad that still stick out in our memory as some of the best bites we had in Disney. Hopefully they’ll bring them back one day but until then it is still a great place to eat and take a break from the hustle and bustle.
Pros:
- Quality food and seafood - lots of indoor seating - mobile orderCons:

Decent, if unimpressive, food. My major complaint is the ordering area - I use a cane, so I can only carry my tray with one hand, and it is hard to negotiate the overcrowded ordering area, despite the fact that there are line "handlers" who direct people to an ordering station.
The clam chowder is ok, but not anything special. The bread bowl is not worth the extra money, unless you are extremely hungry. It's nothing special black bread. I wanted a vegetable, and the only offering is green beans - plain, unseasoned, kind of cold, greeen beans. A side salad or cole slaw would be welcome additions to the menu.
Seating is always challenging. I am handicapped, use a cane, and can't get upstairs because there is no elevator. This time we ended up eating near a trash can at a table for two that seemed to have just landed there for no particular reason. It's less than ideal to be trying to eat while people are depositing trash a foot behind your head. Plus, people walk off without bussing their tables, and the servers are slow to clean up (because it looks like the staff has been reduced and they are busy trying to keep up).
The menu, as at most DW restaurants, has been reduced substantially with the excuse that Covid made them do it. I suspect that we will never see the return of old, fuller menus.
Pros:
Decent location, food okCons:

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:

Been coming here for years! Usually take a lunch or AC break here midday to escape crowds and the heat. Recently got to try some of their gluten free selections and really enjoyed the ability to eat nice allergy friendly food in the middle of Magic Kingdom.
Pros:
Fun atmosphere, tons of space and never feels too crowded despite having a lot of peopleCons:
Not the most unique food options, but definitely higher quality than typical amusement park foodReviewed by Lizgistix Review Date: 04/05/2022

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:
No elevator to second floor, lobster roll could use more lobsterReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/20/2022

I was wary of seafood at a theme park but, as a New Englander, I was shocked to learn the fish was pretty well cooked, the shrimp wasn't overdone (HOW?!), the hushpuppies didn't suck, and even the lobster roll was totally fine - which is a hard bar to meet. There's lots of fried food, but also plenty of fresh, simple options. This is the best counter service restaurant in the Magic Kingdom.
Pros:
something for everyone on the menu, lots of seating, healthy-ish options for theme park fast foodCons:

Our absolute favorite QS!!! The food is so delicious and I love that you get vegetable sides instead of just french fries or potato barrels. We never have trouble finding a table and the staff is always super nice.
Pros:
Great food, reasonable price, lots of seating!Cons:

CHH is consistently a place my family and I go back to you every year. Plenty of seating and the food is usually if not always well prepared. The clam chowder and the lobster roll are family favorites.
Pros:
plenty of seating cool place to have a quick bite when it is hot outsideCons:

One of the better quick service spots in MK, but it's sad because the food is still so-so. The lobster roll was fine, but nothing that will knock your socks off. Same with the clam chowder. This one scores higher for me because compared to what else you get in Magic Kingdom, this one is your best option.
