I like most of those listed, but Pecos Bill's gets my vote. Lots of food for the price.

:)

I like CHH and PBC, but I'd have to say Pinocchio's, it was the first counter service restaurant I ever ate at MK, so it has a bit of sentimental meaning for me.

Harbor House, hands down. The fish is surprisingly excellent. A little off topic but STAY AWAY from The Land at Epcot Center. The old set up was much better. It's Awful :(

It's Pecos Bill's for my family. Dh loves the toppings bar so he can load his burger with all of the extras. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken salads I've eaten there. The only drawback is their kids meal choices, we always order off the regular menu for Ds, as Franks & Beans or Cold Chicken isn't appealing to him.

Oh . . . we LOVE the counter service at the Land in Epcot. :mickey3: Our experiences there have been excellent - a wide variety of choices and great desserts! That's what's so great about Disney, lots of options for places to eat - just in case you don't like one, there's always another. :wink:

We usually stop at El Pirata y El Perico; the taco salad makes a good lunch (not too filling and somewhat healthy). It's a nice place to stop before or after a visit to the pirates. :wink:

Probably a big part of the appeal of El Pirata y El Perico is sentimental for me too. A favorite memory is of my son wearing his newly acquired pirate gear, complete with eye patch, eating his lunch at the "pirate restaurant."

Cosmic Ray's gets my vote since it is the only counter service I have had at MK

I love Cosmic Rays and CHH, but my favorite is Casey's Corner. Being on Main Street, Listening to the Piano Player and looking at the castle or watching the old Goofy Classics in the stands. Not too mention that's where are daughters name came from. Trip of 99. :)

I really like Columbia House and Cosmic Ray's. I actually wanted to try the noodle station in May, but it was closed. But, I did watch Wishes from their table area which was aboslutely great! :D

I love Cosmic Ray's!! I always have to sit in the room with Sonny Eclipse...that's part of the experience. That and the tons of mushrooms from the condiment bar and the awesome honey mustard sauce for the fries. We tried Noodle Station when it first opened and it was okay, a little overpriced. I know they've changed the menu since then, but it's NEVER open, so I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I voted for CHH since it's the only one I really remember :wink: I don't see the Dole station in Adventureland though! C'mon a Dole Float/Whip counts!! :mickey:

REALLY??? I thought the options were so limited. About 3 stations compared to about 5 or 6 with the previous Land. I guess different strokes for different folks. Maybe I'm in the minority on this one. :)
