EPCOT Quick Service Lunch & Dinner – Ranked!

You can’t spend a full day in EPCOT without fuel, so your thoughts will wander to food at some point. And there are a lot of places to get food in this park! We’ve helpfully ranked your options for Quick Service lunch & dinner at EPCOT, based on their ratings in TouringPlans user surveys. Now, what to order when you’ve decided where to dine? That choice is on you. And if you’re looking for a morning meal, see Five Places For a Quick Breakfast in EPCOT.

To keep in mind: Quick Service locations get very busy around lunch. Arrive by 11:30 or closer to 1 pm to avoid spending a long time in line and waiting for a seat. Mobile Ordering in advance can help, but pickup can also get backed up in peak hours. The dinner crowd does tend to be a bit more spread out. And if there’s a Festival going on, you can easily make a meal from the Festival booths – but it will probably cost you more than an entree from one of the regular Quick Service spots.

#T1: Yorkshire County Fish Shop (United Kingdom)

The Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the UK Pavilion is unique on this list; the menu has no variety to please multiple family members. But “Let’s have fish & chips for dinner” is like the British version of “Let’s have pizza for dinner”, and plus, the Fish & Chips is that good. Unless you don’t like fish & chips, in which case you should give this spot a pass. (See the menu here –what there is of it.) The Fish Shop scores a 95.2% thumbs up on surveys, and the comment “Fast service, hot food, good value” pretty much sums it up.

#T1: Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie (France)

Les Halles is in the France Pavilion, and serves a range of what you might think of as “French country picnic food”. But it is all delicious; what makes Les Halles a favorite is the high quality of everything, and especially the bread.

Should you choose, you can skip over your meal and go straight to the equally large selection of pastries. (See the menu here) We won’t blame and we certainly won’t judge, we might have done this a time or two ourselves. Les Halles scores 95.2% on surveys, but the downside is the relatively small indoor seating area; it’s a frequent complaint in survey comments that rave about the food. Pro tip: Pastries purchased at Les Halles while waiting for Luminous to begin make a terrific in-room breakfast the next morning. Just be careful that they stay right-side up in transit.

#3: La Cantina de San Angel (Mexico)

The name is a giveaway that the Mexico Pavilion hosts La Cantina de San Angel. The menu here is straight-up Tex-Mex: empanadas, tacos, etc. But the quality is very good and there’s perhaps a smidgen more “Mex” than “Tex”. Plus, that “straight-up Tex-Mex” description includes the drinks; cerveza, sangria, and margaritas are there to represent. For the zero-proof crowd, there are traditional Mexican sodas (Jarritos) in three flavors. (See the menu here) Diners agree, with a 92.4% rating, and “tasty” is a highlight word from several comments.

#T4: Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue (American Adventure)

Barbecue is the chosen U.S. cuisine in the World Showcase; you’ll find Regal Eagle Smokehouse at the American Adventure Pavilion. Regal Eagle has a full lineup of BBQ items, from sandwiches to salads to ribs. As long as you don’t think too hard about how “true-to-type” the options are to the regional styles they’re supposed to represent, most everything is good.

There are occasional consistency issues, but everyone except for finicky connoisseurs should come away happy. And if you’re on a budget, add an extra side of Mac & Cheese to the Smoked Half-Chicken, and it’s plenty big enough to share. (See the menu here) Regal Eagle has a 91.4% rating, and survey comments praise the selection of alcoholic beverages, the seating, and, of course, the BBQ.

#T4: Katsura Grill (Japan Pavilion)

The menu at Katsura Grill ranges from sushi to Japanese favorites to a lovely chicken cutlet curry that’s tops with our parks team. (We also love the pork ramen.) The food is flavorful (See the menu here), and survey comments praise both the variety and the healthfulness of the options. But one of the best reasons to eat here might be the setting.

If you’re sitting outdoors, you’ll find that Imagineering has worked its magic to make you feel like you’re visiting a calm, garden area in Japan. As a break from a day of hectic touring, it feels very zen. If you’re seated indoors, you’ll find simple Japanese styling and tables that are poised with just-right views of the outdoor areas, giving the illusion that you’re truly eating your lunch somewhere in Japan.

#6: Connections Cafe & Eatery (World Celebration)

Connections holds down one side of World Celebration, at the front of the park. The actual Quick Service location is Connections Eatery; the Cafe is the Starbucks location. But it has items that you could make a hefty snack of, and the two are rated very closely at just about 90% on surveys, so we’ve grouped them together here.

You’ll find a fairly straightforward lineup of burgers, pizza, and salads. (See the menu here) The pizza is the most likely to disappoint, but our overall take is that the food is serviceable. That’s not a very exciting word, is it? Neither is the food. In a park with so much great eating, you can do a lot better. And despite the large amount of seating, survey comments frequently mention difficulty finding a table; try to avoid peak dining times.

#7: Sunshine Seasons (World Nature)

Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion was once easily among the top Quick Service options in EPCOT. It’s been making a comeback lately, and 88% of diners have a good experience even though it’s ranked 7th, which just goes to show how strong EPCOT’s food game is.

You’ll find a hefty lineup of Grab’n’Go, as well as just shy of a dozen hot entrees. (See the menu here) The food is heavily American, even when it’s ethnic, and the hot entrees are good quality. When making your plans, be aware that it’s only Grab’n’Go at dinner time – but some survey comments call out that even the Grab and Go is fresh and healthy!

#8: Lotus Blossom Café (China)

As you pass through the China Pavilion, you’ll have the chance to dine at the Lotus Blossom Cafe. Does the name remind you of a mall food court Chinese outfit? Good call, the menu will too. (See the menu here)

The lineup might feel ho-hum, but comments agree that the food is good, and Lotus Blossom scores an 87% on surveys. If you’re in the mood, or you have picky eaters who want potstickers, this could be the place for you.

#9: Crêpes à Emporter (France)

Ah, the food of France, of gay Par-ee, how can you go wrong with a crêpe? Choose from savory galettes, or eat a dessert crêpe for your meal; we won’t tell. (See the menu here) Both options are reasonably toothsome, but be aware that crêpes stand alone. No side of fries or veggies is to be found; your entire meal is in the wrapper.

That’s helpful, because you’ll need to be prepared to carry it away; seating near the order window is scarce. Crêpes à Emporter has fallen from 5th place to last since we last ranked these spots, but it’s not what you might think. The 85% survey rating here is unchanged; everything else has simply jumped up above it. And survey comments mostly mention the lack of seating and a slow-moving line, so negative ratings might not even be about the food.
