3 Best Quick Service Places to Eat in Magic Kingdom
1. Columbia Harbour House
If you are in the mood for seafood, Columbia Harbour House is the best quick-service Magic Kingdom restaurant.
Located on the corner of Liberty Square, just diagonal from Haunted Manion, is this air-conditioned restaurant that has plenty of seating and various seafood options.
Some of the delicious choices include Lobster Rolls, Grilled Salmon, or Fried Shrimp & Fish. Prices range from $12.49-$15.99.
2. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Cafe
This unassuming restaurant located in Frontierland has undergone a menu change in the past few years.
While once heavily focused on burgers and barbeque, now Pecos Bill offers a Southwestern-themed menu.
Guests can dine on tacos, fajitas and burrito rice bowls.
Portions are really large, so you could easily split meals between two people if you aren’t that hungry or on a budget.
The best part of dining here is the topping bar which has all your taco fixings as well as guacamole! Prices range from $9.49-$14.99.
3. Tortuga Tavern
This pirate-themed restaurant can be found across from Pirates of the Caribbean and features an eclectic mix of food options.
Choose from common park fare like Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Hot Dogs or venture out and have something a bit more obscure like Orange Chicken Strips or a Peanut Butter, Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread, and Banana Sandwich!
It has a nice section for indoor seating and onsite bathrooms.
Guide to Eating Quick Service at Magic Kingdom
If you want to only eat at quick service restaurants while you are in Magic Kingdom, you don’t have some choices.
These are the places I would suggest dining for breakfast, lunch & dinner on your day at the Magic Kingdom:
Breakfast at Sleepy Hollow Inn
Sleepy Hollow Inn is a breakfast favorite. Serving some of the BEST waffles in all of Disney, you can’t go wrong with anything.
Menu options include a traditional waffle topped with fruit & Nutella, the breakfast egg and cheese waffle sandwich, or a Mickey Waffle with cinnamon & sugar!
Lunch at Tortuga Tavern
Tortuga Tavern is the logical lunch choice since the menu is more like a heavy snack than a full-on meal. This means that you can have a quick meal before heading out to ride Pirates of the Caribbean.
Dinner at Harbour House or Pecos Bills
Your last meal of the day should be determined by what you are in the mood for. If you love seafood, then hit Harbour House.
If you have a hankering for Tex-Mex, then you should eat at Pecos Bills.
Just because you are eating a Quick Service meal doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality food!
