You just had the best morning walking down Main Street, U.S.A., riding through the Haunted Mansion, and sailing through the Pirates of the Caribbean. But now your tummy is rumbling, and you need to get something quick to eat. Have no fear! We are here with what you need to get at every quick service restaurant in Magic Kingdom.
There is no shortage of food in Magic Kingdom, but that also means you have to decide what to get! We want to help you make sure you get the best food Disney has to offer, so we have compiled a list of our recommendations for the food you need to try. We have tried it all and we believe every meal should be great. So, let’s get going and dig into some quick service food at Magic Kingdom!
For this post, we’re looking at quick service restaurants that offer savory eats that could serve as lunch or a hearty snack. We’ve left locations that only serve treats and dessert off this list (such as Aloha Isle, which mostly just serves DOLE Whip), but let us know in the comments if we should do another post about dessert in this park!
Quick Service Restaurants
When it is time for some food, quick service restaurants are a great option. They do not require reservations and provide a quick and easy way to grab some grub. We highly recommend taking advantage of Mobile Ordering for an even easier meal experience!

While most quick service restaurants offer Mobile Order, there are a few that do not. We will make sure to let you know if you can Mobile Order below.
Magic Kingdom boasts a wide variety of options, and we are breaking them down for you and letting you know exactly what to get. Let’s get into our favorites at each of the quick service restaurants.
Casey’s Corner
You Need to Get: Corn Dog Nuggets and Plastic Cheese
We are starting it off with a fan-favorite on Main Street. Casey’s Corner sells baseball-themed fare and offers an amazing view of Cinderella Castle from the tables just outside the restaurant. While this location boasts a good selection of hot dogs, our favorite item on the menu is the Corn Dog Nuggets with a side of cheese sauce! These crispy morsels are a perfect snack to grab in between rides. Crunchy corndog batter and cheesy sauce come together for a delicious snack.
The corn dog nugget meal (served with fries or a Cutie) costs $10.79 and a side of cheese sauce is $1. You can Mobile Order at Casey’s Corner!

Columbia Harbour House
You Need to Get: Lobster Roll and Hushpuppies
Columbia Harbour is a hidden gem in Magic Kingdom. Not only does it have wonderful food, but the restaurant has two stories with lots of indoor seating. It is a great place to grab a meal and relax in the A/C. Our pick for your must-get at Columbia Harbour House is the Lobster Roll and the side of Hushpuppies. The Lobster Roll is a fan-favorite! The lobster is chilled with a mayo-based sauce and served with lettuce on a New England-style bun. The sandwich is light on the mayonnaise which allows the flavor of the lobster to shine. We have always been impressed with the amount of lobster you get too!
Next up, hushpuppies. These little guys are a fantastic snack or side item. They are warm and crispy, with a soft inside. There are whole kernels of corn inside and we just love snacking on these while we people watch from the second floor of the restaurant. These have a hint of sweetness but are not overloaded with sugar.
The lobster roll costs $16.99 (includes one side choice of French fries, green beans or rice) and a side of hushpuppies costs $4.99. You can Mobile Order at Columbia Harbour House!

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe
You Need to Get: Triple-B Burger
Heading over to Tomorrowland, let’s stop by Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. While not one of our favorite quick service restaurants in Magic Kingdom, Cosmic Ray’s still has plenty to offer! We recommend the Triple-B Burger. This burger is an Angus beef patty with bacon, cheddar spread, crispy onions, and Coca-Cola® Cherry-barbecue sauce on a brioche bun served with a side of French fries. The sauce did not have much Coca-Cola flavor, but it was tasty and a great combination with the cheddar spread, crispy onions and bacon. The patty is your average theme park burger, but the toppings really make this one stand out!
The burger costs $13.49 (side of fries included). You can Mobile Order at Cosmic Ray’s!

Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe
You Need to Get: Chicken Rice Bowl and Mini Churros with Chocolate Sauce
Continuing our journey, we arrive at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe in Frontierland. Pecos Bill has quite a few options that are on the healthier side and provide a bit of a departure from your traditional theme park foods. Our favorite food items are the rice bowls and the mini churros. Pecos Bill offers the rice bowl with either chicken or pork carnitas. We prefer the chicken rice bowl, but both are delicious!
The rice bowl comes with your choice of meat, rice, black beans, lettuce, tomato, grilled peppers and onions, sour cream, and salsa. You may need to ask for the sour cream and salsa if you would like it as we have not always been given it with our meals. You get a great portion of food, and the chicken is seasoned well.
For dessert, you need to get the mini churros with chocolate sauce. These are great for sharing! They’re everything you love about the classic Disney churro but in mini form. We are usually guilty of eating these first as they are always better fresh. Sugary, cinnamony goodness with a warm chocolate sauce for dipping, yum!
The chicken rice bowl costs $12.49 and the mini churros with chocolate sauce cost $6.79. You can Mobile Order at Pecos Bill!

Pinocchio Village Haus
You Need to Get: Buffalo Chicken Flatbread and Key Lime Pie Tart
Pinocchio Village Haus has a wonderful charm to it, and you can even grab a seat overlooking “it’s a small world”! The restaurant menu offers various flatbreads, Caesar salad, and chicken strips. Our personal favorite is the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread. We love the combination of the slightly spicy buffalo sauce and creamy ranch. The flatbread is thin and crispy with just the right amount of gooey cheese and grilled chicken.
The Key Lime Pie Tart is served with sweet whipped cream. The crust is buttery and not too thick. The filling is the perfect amount of sweetness, tartness, and lime flavor.
The Buffalo Chicken Flatbread costs $12.79 and the Key Lime Pie Tart costs $5.49. You can Mobile Order at Pinocchio Village Haus!

Tortuga Tavern
You Need to Get: Orange Chicken Strips and Desert Pear Lemonade Pirate Slushy
Tortuga Tavern is a seasonal location, so it will not always be open. However, if you happen to be in Magic Kingdom when it is open, we suggest the Orange Chicken Strips and Desert Pear Lemonade Pirate Slushy. The Orange Chicken Strips are your classic chicken tenders dipped in a sweet orange sauce. The sauce has a slight kick to it and just the right amount of orange flavor.
We also recommend the Desert Pear Lemonade Pirate Slushy at Tortuga Tavern. We love the pear and lemonade flavor combination. This is reminiscent of the Violet Lemonade found seasonally in EPCOT, but with less floral notes and a bit more sweetness. It is a vibrant pink and wonderfully refreshing!
The Orange Chicken Strips cost $11.29 and the slushy costs $6.49. You will need to order with a Cast Member here, as Mobile Order is not available.
Keep in mind Tortuga’s Tavern is a seasonal location, but you can check out our latest posts about it here!
Quick Service Stands
Now that we have covered the quick service full restaurants, we are moving on to the various quick service stands/kiosks in Magic Kingdom. These stands still provide great, quick food options but generally have a bit more limited of a menu. These stands often don’t have designated seating areas, but you can usually find somewhere nearby to enjoy your food.
The Friar’s Nook
You Need to Get: Creamy Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Tots
The Friar’s Nook is a great snack spot with tots and hot dogs. We recommend checking out the Creamy Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Tots. Combining tots with mac & cheese is speaking our language! The tots are served on top of their creamy mac & cheese and then topped with bacon, sour cream, and green onions.
These tots cost $11.49. You can Mobile Order at The Friar’s Nook!
Read even more about these tots and the other mac & cheese offerings at Friar’s Nook here!
Gaston’s Tavern
You Need to Get: Cinnamon Roll and LeFou’s Brew
We can’t talk about our favorite food items in Magic Kingdom without talking about Gaston’s Tavern and the famous cinnamon roll! Just in case you need a bit more sugar in your diet, we recommend the huge cinnamon roll from Gaston’s Tavern. It is served warm and topped with sweet icing (we recommend asking for more if you want!). This thing is huge, and we definitely suggest sharing this one.
Another favorite at Gaston’s Tavern is LeFou’s Brew. This is frozen apple juice with a hint of toasted marshmallow and topped with passion fruit-mango foam. This drink is on the sweet side but also super refreshing! The flavors blend together well and make for a unique drink to cool you off.
The cinnamon roll costs $6.99 and LeFou’s Brew costs $6.79. You will need to order with a Cast Member here, as Mobile Order isn’t offered!

Golden Oak Outpost
You Need to Get: Minute Maid Premium Lemonade and Sweet Tea Slushy
Golden Oak Outpost is not always open, and when it is, it hasn’t usually been one of our must-eat spots. However, we found this Minute Maid Premium Lemonade and Sweet Tea Slushy and think it is worth a stop for. While the plain Sweet Tea Slushy is SWEET, the addition of lemonade in this slushy makes it much more balanced. The drink is refreshing, and you can really taste both the lemonade and sweet tea. A great option for a quick rest break during your day!
The slushy costs $5.99 and you will need to order with a Cast Member here!

Sleepy Hollow
You Need to Get: Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken-Waffle Sandwich
Sleepy Hollow is another hidden gem in Magic Kingdom! They offer a lot of options including corn dogs, funnel cakes, and waffles, but one of our personal favorites is the Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken-Waffle Sandwich. This sandwich is meal-sized and wonderful! A fresh-made waffle is topped with fried chicken dipped in a sweet & spicy sauce and then topped with a creamy slaw. The sauce has a kick to it, but the addition of the slaw helps cool it down a bit. We recommend grabbing this waffle sandwich and enjoying it on the hub grass! Yummy food AND a view!
This waffle sandwich costs $11.59. You can Mobile Order at Sleepy Hollow!

The Lunching Pad
You Need to Get: Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel
If you are in the Tomorrowland area and are looking for a quick snack, look no further! The Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel from The Lunching Pad is here to save the day. Here you can grab a warm pretzel that is stuffed with sweet cream cheese. The pretzel itself provides a bit of saltiness to the sweet filling. One of our favorite sweet snacks!
The cream cheese pretzel costs $7.79 and you can Mobile Order here!

Ok. I know it’s not a restaurant or a stand and really more of a snack than a a meal…BUT…if you go to the spring roll cart in Adventureland you MUST get the spring rolls 😂 Honorable mention!
