If you are looking for a great list of the best quick-service restaurants in the Magic Kingdom, you are in the right spot! When you want a quick bit to eat at Disney World, quick service restaurants offer an array of menu items within the Disney theme parks. Regardless of your choice, be sure to use mobile ordering in the My Disney Experience app, if possible. It is a great way to avoid long lines waiting to order your food! Now, on to the list!
Casey’s Corner
One of the best options, especially for picky eaters, is Casey’s Corner. If you want quick service dining and crave hot dogs, corn dog nuggets, or french fries, head on down Main Street USA. Casey’s Corner will be on your left, as you look at Cinderella Castle.
Here, you will often find a long line of loyal Casey fans waiting to order. It’s a great place if you love chili cheese hot dogs and corn dogs, which they are famous for. One thing to know about this quick service location – it only has outdoor seating. If you are looking to get into air conditioning, this isn’t the right spot for you.
But, if it is a nice day and you want to take in the Main Street atmosphere, be sure to check it out! It is a good choice for many people, especially the hot dog lover in your group. Casey’s Corner is open for both lunch and dinner, and pricing usually runs under $15 per person.
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn is a fun, frontier-style quick-service dining option, located in Frontierland. It is a great option if you are looking to get out of the sun, as it has a huge dining room with plenty of indoor seating. One of the best things on the menu for me is the fajita platter which features seasoned pork and chicken. You can select toppings like cilantro rice, pinto beans, fajita veggies, sour cream, lettuce, and cheese. Make a filling meal here for under $20. You can also visit the toppings bar in the dining room to add more flavors!
There are plenty of good options for those who don’t prefer Mexican-style food as well. Consider the burgers, chicken nuggets, nachos, and salads to satisfy everyone in your group. There are also multiple allergy-friendly menus available, making it a home run for most people. Pecos Bil is one of the best Magic Kingdom quick-service meals in the park, according to our family.
It is also good to know that if you go on the Keys to the Kingdom tour at Disney World, the lunch included comes from Pecos Bill. Those meals are served in a private room and will be prepared for you, ahead of time, after you select your choice at the beginning of your tour.
Columbia Harbour House
Columbia Harbour House is another of our family favorites at Magic Kingdom. They offer several good options, as well as a large restaurant with a second floor! If you have seafood lovers in your family, they will enjoy the shrimp, salmon, fish, and New England clam chowder featured here. My personal favorite is the salmon, green beans, and rice plate!
Does someone in your party dislike seafood? Don’t worry. You can still find chicken strips, french fries, and even PB&J here! It is also the perfect place to grab lobster rolls, chilled lobster with mayo on a bun, served with fries.
One of the best things about Columbia Harbour House is the second floor. Get away from the busyness of the parks and into the quiet of the top story. If you sit near the windows, you get a nice view of Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
If it is a busy time of day with peak times for lunch or dinner, your best bet is to use the mobile order feature within the My Disney Experience app. Columbia Harbour House is one of our favorite Magic Kingdom quick service restaurants with some great food offerings!
Pinochio Village Haus
Are you a big fan of the It’s a Small World attraction or Pinnochio? If you are, Pinocchio Village Haus is a great spot to grab quick service meals with a view of the ride! This quick service spot serves up Italian favorites like flatbreads, casar salads, breadsticks and tomato basil soup. You can also still find the basics like turkey sandwiches, chicken strips and a ham and cheese here too.
Is it one of the absolute best restaurants at the Walt Disney World resort? Probably not, but if you want an easy quick service spot, this is a good pick. Pinachio Village is a fan favorite for many Disney lovers, perhaps because of the food, perhaps because of the nostalgia. If you love It’s a Small World, be sure to grab the windows that overlook the loading dock of the attraction, right in the middle of Fantasyland.
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is a fan favorite. Sony Eclipse sits in the main dining room, serenading visitors. The menu includes park classics, like hamburgers, chicken nuggets, french fries, Greek salads, and macaroni and cheese.
You can find Cosmic Ray’s in Tomorrowland. This quick service spot is not far from Space Mountain and across from the Tomorrowland Speedway. Be sure to use mobile order through the My Disney Experience app if you are dining during peak times.
Friar’s Nook
Friar’s Nook is a cozy little spot in Fantasyland. Inspired by the film Robin Hood, visitors will find options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Though the breakfast options have a limited menu, you will find some good options. Breakfast includes a breakfast sandwich on a pretzel bun, sausage and gravy tots, and cinnamon sugar doughnuts.
Lunch and dinner options at Friar’s Nook include hot dogs, bratwurst, and tator tots covered in lots of delicious goodness! The kids’ menu includes covered tots, macaroni and cheese, turkey sandwich or a ham and cheese sandwich. Friar’s Nook does not require dining reservations, so check it out on your next Disney vacation!
Tortuga Tavern
Tortuga Tavern is a fun, pirate themed quick service spot located right outside of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The lunch and dinner menu includes barbecue sandwiches, orange chicken strips, hot dogs, and peanut butter, banana and chocolate sandwiches!
Tortuga Tavern is a quick service kiosk, so if you need something quick to eat as you explore the park, it’s a great fit! Ask a cast member if you need help locating it in Adventureland.
Main Street Bakery (Starbucks)
Main Street Bakery is located right on Main Street, USA. The bakery is actually a Starbucks location in Magic Kingdom Park. Here, you will find your favorite speciality coffees, cold brews, breakfast sandwiches and bakery items you have come to expect from Starbucks.
You will also find some great Disney themed treats and fantastic Starbucks and Disney themed merchandise. We always stop in to see what’s new.
Park guests can use their Starbucks app and gift cards to purchase items at this location. Starbucks mobile order is not currently available, so be sure to get there early to avoid the long lines.
Sleepy Hollow Refreshments
Sleepy Hollow Refreshments is another great quick service kiosk, located in Liberty Square. This little brick cottage offers the famous fresh fruit waffle sandwich, filled with cream, berries, and covered in chocolate sauce. You can also find Mickey waffles and funnel cakes here!
Sleepy Hollow also offers Joffrey’s hot and cold coffee options. Lunch and dinner options include a turkey leg, corn dog, or a sweet and spicy chicken waffle sandwich. It’s the perfect pick me up location, and it can be found close to Haunted Mansion and the Hall of Presidents. Haunted Mansion fans have to check out their Madame Leota cupcake!
Sunshine Tree Terrace
Sunshine Tree Terrace is home of the famous soft serve ice cream of the Magic Kingdom. This citrus swirl treat can be found in Adventureland, tucked away near the Swiss Family Treehouse. I love ordering a chocolate and vanilla soft serve through mobile order and finding a shaded spot to take a break in the afternoon.
Gaston’s Tavern
Gaston’s Tavern features the famous warm cinnamon roll and LeFou’s brew. You can also find the Grey Stuff cupcake, made famous in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast! Be sure to check out this favorite spot in Fantasyland, not far from the Be Our Guest sit down restaurant.
