You might want to rethink your quick service game at Hollywood Studios.

For years, ABC Commissary has kind of just existed — not awful, not great, just…there. But according to a recent review by one of our readers, this spot has officially leveled up. If you haven’t been in a while (or ever), you might be sleeping on one of the best quick-service meals in the park.
ABC Commissary
Our reader “mschu2112” gave the restaurant 9 out of 10 stars and shared:

That’s not just a casual endorsement — that’s someone going out of their way to let other guests know that a classic “meh” pick has officially become a go-to.
So what’s changed? Let’s get into it.
Why ABC Commissary Used to Be a Skip
If you’ve been visiting Hollywood Studios for a while, you know ABC Commissary didn’t exactly have the best rep. The menu used to be bland, the theming was kind of cold, and nothing about it made you want to go out of your way to eat there unless it was raining and you were desperate for A/C.

But over the past few years, Disney has slowly revamped the menu and leaned into more modern, bolder flavors. It’s no longer just chicken nuggets and burgers — it’s shrimp tacos, pork carnitas, and plant-based bowls. And somehow, it still flies under the radar for a lot of guests.

What to Expect Now
ABC Commissary is now serving up food that actually feels worth the price (at least by theme park standards). The shrimp tacos mentioned by our reader? Genuinely solid. And if you’re someone traveling with picky eaters, the grilled cheese is a crowd-pleaser while still being better than your average kids’ menu fare.

Here’s the breakdown from mscheu2112:
-
- Pros: Food, atmosphere, good A/C.
- Cons: Seating can be tough when busy.
So yeah, it’s still popular enough to get crowded — but that’s where mobile ordering comes in. And seriously, use mobile order. That was one of the biggest takeaways from the review and something we also can’t recommend enough. Ordering in advance is almost always faster, and especially at a place like this where it gets slammed at lunchtime.

It’s Still Not a Secret… But It’s Close
ABC Commissary isn’t exactly hidden, but because it doesn’t have the flashy theming of Galaxy’s Edge or the nostalgia factor of Woody’s Lunch Box, it still gets overlooked.

That’s honestly a win for you, because while everyone’s waiting for a table at Sci-Fi or battling the lunch rush at Backlot Express, you could be sitting in a cool, shaded dining room eating tacos that don’t taste like cardboard.
Final Thoughts
Is ABC Commissary the best meal you’ll have on property? Probably not. But for a quick, air-conditioned break in Hollywood Studios with food that’s better than average (and doesn’t require a reservation), it’s an easy win. We love it when a guest tips us off to a glow-up like this—because it’s a perfect example of how Disney World is constantly changing, even in the places you least expect.

So if you’ve walked past ABC Commissary without a second thought in the past, maybe give it another look next time.
