Which is best MK Counter Service: Pecos Bills, Pinochio Haus or Tommorowland Terrace?

[teambricker04]

Personally, I like Cosmic Rays (Sonny Eclipse and his, as stated, Intergalactic stylings are great!). But, if you are on the other side of the park, I would do PB.

We like Cosmic Ray's. We've found it to have ample seating, even on Party nights around official closing time. The fixin's bar is great, and you can get Corn Dog Nuggets!!!

We've wanted to try Pecos Bill's, but its always been too crowded. I REALLY want to try El Pirata y El Perico, but its never open.

We have never ate at Pecos Bills or Noodle Station. Noodle Station is always closed and Pecos Bill's was crowded. We ate at Cosmic Rays and loved what we had there and Pinnocchio Village was good and we've also ate at Columbia Harbour House and it was very good. DD's (8 & 15 )loved the clam chowder and the fish baskets. I don't think you could go wrong with whatever you choose.
Each yr we've gone we've tried to eat somewhere different so we could have our own opinion about the food.

Of the ones you list I like both Pecos Bill and Pinochio. However my fav CS at MK is Columbia Harbor House. Great tasting food and nice atmosphere. Remember to check out the upstairs where there is also seating.

Pecos Bills it is love the bugers & fixins bar!! - BUT have you thought of Cosmic Rays??? It's my favorite and they have such a varity all in one place. It's my favorite CS place at MK.

[jenperich]

Pecos Bill for sure! They have some healthy food there too.

[lightyearfan]

well we would reccommend going to Pinochio Haus, they have a good selection of food to choose from the atmosphere is very WDW. we cant comment on the others since we never been to either, we would love to try Pecos but everytime that we try to it is sooo overcrowed, but maybe next June (08). you may want to buy the Birbaums Book of Walt Disney World Resturants, we bought it 2 years ago and it helps out allot, because out TS meals are set in stone pretty much, but our lunches are always CS meals so when it whatever park that were in for that day we just resort to our book. now it's nice and small so you can fit the book pretty much anywhere without being an issue. man i'm rambling on sorry

Enjoy

I really like Cosmic Rays, but out of your choices I'd recommend Peco's Bills. I didn't care much for the food at noodle station. Both Peco's Bills and Pinocchio Haus can get extremely crowded, but I think the crowds are worse at Pinocchio Haus- right in the middle of Fantasyland with hungry, screaming kiddos all around. It's just so stressful in there. With Pinocchio Haus or Peco's Bills I'd try for late morning or late afternoon when most other people are not eating.

Pecos Bills for sure

Another vote for "none of the above." My favorite CS is Columbia Harbor House. The lighthouse sandwich, clam chowder, chicken strips and fried fish are all very good. Some of the other sandwiches look good there too, but I have yet to try them.

Columbia Harbor House and Pecos Bills are favorites.

We love lunch at CHH, their chowder in particular.

We tend to eat early or late at Pecos Bill's to avoid the inevitable peak meal crush. We enjoy the cheese burgers and wraps are a nice choice if you simply cannot face another burger. Their fixin's bar really hits the spot. My DM has a thing for the sauteed mushrooms.

Since our first visit in 75, the lower level of the terrace has been our "designated meeting place." It had become crowded, but since they changed the menu to the "really gross, really wilted, really small" noodle concoction, and related stuff, the crowds have thinned out quite a bit. We now get food from Casey's, and take it to the terrace for casual dining while waiting for the clan to gather.

We still miss the Teriyaki Burgers they once served in Adventureland. Pecos Bill is good, as is Pinochio's. Columbia House serves good food, and always has a quiet nook for a relaxing meal. Most of clan also likes Cosmic Ray's, but DW and I never really liked either the food, or the noise. DW and I also like to take a break by having lunch at the Plaza if the wait isn't too bad....know that isn't counter service, but the food is good, and not much more than CS if you are paying OOP.

Glad to see some others thought the Noodle Station was good when it first opened. That's the only time it has been open for us so can't comment on it going downhill, but can believe it.

Pecos Bill would be my choice of the 3. But like others, I'd suggest looking into Cosmic Rays which we actually prefer.

[GrmGrninGost]

Cosmic Ray's for me! I love Sonny Eclipse! Plus they have an excellent selection!

[Beast_fanatic]

Though it's not on your list, my favorite counter service restaurant in the Magic Kingdom is Columbia Harbour House. Check the menu and see if the selections appeal to your family.

Mine too! I always get the fish basket - it's yummy!

[AmberB]

I've only eaten at Pinocchio Haus, Cosmic Ray's, and El Pirata y Perico in the MK. All three were very good. With ADRs I feel like so much of our dining is planned, so we try not to plan our TS meals. We make a note of the TS restaurants we think we would like in each park and wait to pick the one we're going to eat at when we're actually there. That way we can decide based on what we're close to or just what we feel like eating.

Any updated info about these counter service restaurants?

DBF had had the fried fish before. My long time favorite is the chicken strip combo and a bowl of chowdah (in RI accent)

[mydisneygirls]

Another vote for Columbia Harbour House. My daughter and I share a fish and shrimp plate (more than enough for the 2 of us) and my other daughter gets the chicken strips. We love it there.

Touche! Columbia Harbour House is also my favorite.. the tuna with lettuce tomato on toasted whole grain bread is the BEST! Pecos Bills would be a close second.. the fixin's bar is great!
