As you plan for your 2023 vacation to Walt Disney World, it’s time to start thinking about where you want to eat while enjoying your time in the parks.

While it’s okay to be spontaneous and grab the nearest grub, knowing the best Quick Service Restaurants can help you to choose wisely. Not all Disney World restaurants are created equally!

Did you know that there are over 200 places to eat in Disney World? With so many choices, your friends at DFB want to make sure that you get the best value for your vacation dollars. Today, we’re going to share the best options for fast-food type meals or snacks in Magic Kingdom.

10 Best Quick Service Restaurants in Magic Kingdom for 2023

At Quick Service spots, you generally order at the counter, then bring your food to a table yourself. You’ll also see it being called Counter Service in some instances. These restaurants are typically more casual and less expensive than Table Service venues.

To save time waiting in yet another line, we highly suggest utilizing Mobile Order — and you’ll be back to the next fun attraction before you know it!

Columbia Harbour House

Columbia Harbour House is a popular seafood restaurant located in Liberty Square, we recommend finding a table on the second floor for a quieter atmosphere. Not surprisingly, this spot has a nautical theme. The building is inspired by Colonial America, specifically New England’s coastal style.

Platters offer options such as fried fish and shrimp. The menu also boasts the fan-favorite Lobster Roll!

Gaston’s Tavern

In Fantasyland, you’ll find Gaston’s Tavern tucked behind a statue of none other than Gaston himself. After your meal, wander nearby and look for the “secret door” — what do you think it’s for?!

This is home to the Warm Cinnamon Roll and LeFou’s Brew.

But if you’re looking for something savory, we think the the Ham, Provolone, and Swiss Sandwich is very satisfying.

If you have a picky eater, this might be a safe choice.

Casey’s Corner

Situated at the end of Main Street, U.S.A. (towards the hub) with a stunning view of Cinderella Castle, Casey’s Corner is a popular stop any time of the day. It is themed to be similar to an early twentieth-century baseball concession stand!

Look for the whimsical red and white umbrellas. The only downside is eating here during a rainy or hot and humid day.

While standard theme park food such as hot dogs and fries are on the menu, it’s home to one of our favorite meals — corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese! The mini hot dogs have a thick cornbread coating and pair with almost any sauce that you put it with. Plus, they’re a great on-the-go meal!

Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow is a small spot over in Liberty Square. While seating is outdoors, this place also has a pretty spectacular Cinderella Castle view!

Sleepy Hollow offers a variety of sweet treats and savory snacks (some large enough for a meal!) served throughout the day.

They’re famous for huge and delicious WAFFLES!

REVIEW: Don’t Skip This SERIOUSLY Underrated Spot in Magic Kingdom

The Friar’s Nook

A hidden gem in Fantasyland, The Friar’s Nook is easy to miss as it’s just a walk-up window. However, this spot consistently delivers amazing counter service food.

We’re fans of the Creamy Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Tots!

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe

Looking for a burger or some simple nuggets in Magic Kingdom? Head over to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe.

Located in Tomorrowland, here you can snag basic eats and there is also a refillable water bottle station.

Is it the best food in the parks — nope! But it’s a great quick option that won’t take much time out of your day and there should be something on the menu for everyone in the group.

Pinocchio Village Haus

Located in Fantasyland, this little indoor village is a great place to take a breather while enjoying some truly beautiful artwork commemorating the classic Disney film, Pinocchio.

Pinocchio Village Haus serves up mostly flatbreads (watch for specials!) and salads. Is it going to be the best pizza you’ve ever had? Probably not, but it’s a good spot for picky eaters and those looking to share a bite.

Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe

Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe offers a large, air-conditioned dining room in Frontierland. Welcome to the Old West!

Featuring Mexican-inspired items, Pecos Bill offers Fajita Platters, Nachos, Rice Bowls, and more (though you can still find a burger on the menu, too). The meals here are a bit bland but very filling. We like to grab nachos and a dessert for a quick snack!

For dessert, we recommend Teddie Berra’s Swingin’ Shortcake, which is a Peach and Raspberry Truffle with Crumbled Cake, Strawberry Pearls, and Flowers.

This was one of the best desserts we’ve had in a long time from a Quick Service restaurant!
