Hidden Gem Quick-Service Restaurants Throughout Disney World

Many guests are familiar with popular restaurants at Disney World? But what about those that are a bit underrated? Disney defines quick-service restaurants, also known as counter-service restaurants, as restaurants in which guests place their order at the counter and take their food back to a table to eat rather than being served in a traditional sit-down setting. These quick-service restaurants can be found throughout Disney World both in the parks and in the resorts. Many guests prefer quick-service restaurants so they can quickly eat and get back to experiencing their day at the parks. If you’ve already tried the popular quick-service restaurants and are looking for something new then check out some of our favorite “hidden gem” restaurants at Disney World.
