Nestled into a stunning resort is this sleeper hit! It offers a little of this and a little of that — flatbreads, salads, sandwiches. But it’s high quality and unique enough to get two thumbs up! Plus you can usually find a tasty sweet treat or two.

Agree with Satuuli but no love for Captain Cooks? Those meatballs themselves earn them a place in the top 10 IMO.
We, like a lot of people, tend to eat a quick service lunch in the park, and a sit down dinner either in a park or at a resort. We have found that we do not particularly enjoy the new incarnation of Disney Springs, so maybe go there once for dinner, and not at a quick service location. So, even though this list has merits, it is not comprehensive enough to give new information to allow me to select a new quick service restaurant.
A comment that is not related to this article, but is related to the All Ears website – the “menus” section does not allow readers to comment on some of the worst quick service restaurants in the parks. I value critical comments far more than mindlessly glowing comments, but the editors of the website have designed it to prevent useful comments in many cases.
Flame Tree BBQ is the best !
I definitely think who your traveling with would sway you for favorites as well as how many days at WDW and how often you go. We travel with friends who want to see everything, we hit more quick service. If just my family traveling, we have at least one sit down a day and then hit quick service for lunch or dinner. I am surprised by most of what was on the list except for Tangerine Cafe which is fabulous and Flame Tree BBQ as not a lot of options at AK.
I think this list is fascinating! I’m as surprised as what is not listed as I am with what is. Young kids so we would not leave the parks at this point to go to QS at Disney Springs or a resort. So, most of these are out for us. We do love Columbia Harbour House though!
