Quick service at Disney might not sound exciting at first, but it’s one of the best ways to eat well and save money on a Disney trip. When you think of theme park food, you may be thinking of hamburgers, chicken strips, and hot dogs. While you can indeed find those foods, you can also find lobster bisque and French sandwiches in EPCOT, as well as Bao buns and loaded breakfast bowls in Animal Kingdom.
Quick service offers some of the best food on property—without the huge price tag. You’ll find creative flavors, big portions, and great value across the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs. Whether you’re Disney-bound for the first time or a regular visitor, these spots belong on your Disney World food bucket list.
Grab your appetite and your list—we’re diving into more of the best quick service restaurants at Disney that prove fast and affordable food can still be fantastic!
This is the second in our quick service at Disney World series. In the first post, which you can read here, we shared our favorite meals for less than $10 – so be sure to go back and read that one too. Some of my all-time favorites from that post are the Holiday Turkey Sandwich at Earl of Sandwich, the Morning Flatbread at Polynesian Village Resort, and the Pretzel Breakfast Sandwich at The Friar’s Nook. In this post, we’re sharing our second round of favorites from our most recent trip in January 2025!
Sharing food can drastically cut food expenses. Instead of two meals, you’re sharing one, and if you need more, order an extra side rather than an additional entrée. There’s no food waste, and you’re saving money. And since you’re not overeating, it leaves room to try more, especially when you’re at Disney World surrounded by delicious Disney snacks. We have a whole series on how to save at Disney World, including the cheapest way to do Disney and more, so be sure to check those posts out!
Quick Service at Disney
- What IS A Disney Quick Service Restaurant? A quick-service restaurant at Disney World is where you order your food at a counter or window, pick it up yourself, and find a seat. It is not a full-service situation. It’s fast and casual. A lovely table service restaurant is a treat, but it comes with a price. Disney table service restaurants are exorbitantly expensive, and it can be very frustrating to pay hundreds of dollars for something that just isn’t that good (looking at you, Ohana).
Quick-service restaurants offer faster and more affordable options, serving fantastic food. Let’s dive in!
Hand-Dipped Corn Dog $11.49
Sleepy Hollow
- Location: Magic Kingdom > Liberty Square
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Sleepy Hollow Menu
Sleepy Hollow is a hidden gem – and so is this corndog! It’s perfectly fried without being greasy, the batter has a touch of sweetness, and the hot dog itself is plump, juicy, and crisp. It’s also huge. The picture doesn’t do the size justice. For just $11.49, this is an incredible deal, especially since you get a side of chips with it, and I am always here for chips – ha! Highly recommend!
Ronto Morning Wrap $12.79
Ronto Roasters
- Location: Hollywood Studios > Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Ronto Roasters Menu
Don’t let the simplicity of the Ronto Morning Wrap fool you. It’s delicious! The pita itself is soft and tender. I expected the egg patty to be hard and rubbery, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. As you can see, the cheese is plentiful, and you get a huge piece of grilled pork sausage. Personally, I think the peppercorn sauce makes the dish, so we always ask for more!
There is also a Ronto Wrap available for lunch and dinner, which is equally as delicious. We will get a picture of that on our next trip in January 2025. It comes with roasted pork and grilled pork sausage, tangy slaw, the same peppercorn sauce, and pita bread. It’s so good!

Croissant Salé $9.50
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie
- Location: Epcot > France Pavilion
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie Menu
Les Halles is one of the best Disney quick-service restaurants for a few reasons. The food is unique, one of the few places to get breakfast early in the World Showcase at Epcot, and where else can you get an entire authentic French baguette with butter and jam for less than four dollars on Disney property?
It’s also one of the few places to get breakfast early in the World Showcase at Epcot. The Croissant Salé, pictured above, is light, buttery, and flaky. The bacon adds texture, the cheese is melted and gooey, and the eggs add creaminess, making this a glorious combination of textures. We asked to have it toasted, which I highly recommend. This sandwich is simple and delicious every single time.
Crispy Chicken Tenders $7.99
Chicken Guy!
- Location: Disney Springs > Town Center
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Chicken Guy! Menu
Chicken tenders aren’t typically my first choice, but I know there are a lot of chicken tender lovers out there, and Chicken Guy! at Disney Springs makes some solid dishes. The tenders are crispy, and the breading is flavorful without being greasy. The real draw here is the dipping sauces. There are many choices, and sampling the different sauces is fun for everyone. We paid $7.99 for four chicken tenders, which is a pretty good deal considering the size of the tenders. Since we were sharing, we opted for a side of fries for $3.49. Having said that, I would’ve been satisfied with four tenders. Our meal came with two sauces; each additional sauce was $0.50. The honey mustard was standard but flavorful, and I loved the donkey sauce, which combines mayonnaise, roasted garlic, white mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon.
Breakfast Totchos $10.99
Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery
- Location: Animal Kingdom > Africa
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Kusafiri Coffee Shop & Bakery Menu
You might mistake Kusafiri for a small bakery or coffee shop, but this little Disney quick-service stand serves up some of the best little bites at Animal Kingdom. The breakfast totchos are an explosion of flavors and textures! Crispy tater tots are topped with creamy eggs, savory cheese sauce, salty bacon, and chewy cheese curds – and it’s delicious! We aren’t huge breakfast eaters, so this is enough for us for $10.99.
If you prefer something sweet, consider the pistachio honey croissant, which was featured in my list of the best $5 cheap Disney snacks. I’m in love with this pastry!
Bavarian Pretzel $10.00
BaseLine Tap House
- Location: Hollywood Studios > Grand Avenue
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- BaseLine Tap House Menu
The pretzel at Baseline Taphouse is one of the best on Disney property. It’s huge and filling and will only cost you $10 plus tax. The beer cheese fondue is absolutely delicious, and you’ll also get a side of spicy mustard. Pro tip. Dip the pretzel in both sauces and thank me later!
Baseline Taphouse is not only a quick-service restaurant but also a small brewery serving a variety of delicious drinks. It’s our favorite place to take a break and people-watch at Hollywood Studios. The vibe is comfortable, we love the seating outside, and the selection of beer and snacks is great. If you’re hungry enough, there’s a California Cheese and Charcuterie Plate for $13.00 that we thoroughly enjoy!

Breakfast Flatbread $10.79
Contempo Café
- Location: Contemporary Resort
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Contempo Café Menu
After trying the morning flatbread at Captain Cook’s (aka one of the best quick service meals on Disney property!), I was on a quest to try every breakfast flatbread/pizza on Disney property. When I read that the Breakfast Flatbread at Contempo came with sausage gravy, I couldn’t wait to try it, and it did not disappoint. The crust was chewy with crispy edges and held up well to the toppings. Although it wasn’t loaded with toppings like the one at Polynesian, it was the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The gravy was flavorful and added enough moisture to the pizza without making it messy. As for portion and value, you can’t go wrong. For just $10.79 plus tax, it’s easily shareable between two people. Highly recommend!
Stuffed Pancake Sandwich $8.99
Drinkwallah
- Location: Animal Kingdom > Asia
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Drinkwallah Menu
This may look small, but don’t be deceived. It’s dense, hearty, and filling. The Marshall’s Favorite Stuffed Pancake Sandwich is a pancake-like dough stuffed with egg, cheese, sausage, and guava jelly. We had mixed feelings about this, but it was enjoyable enough to make the list. The filling had good flavor, but I would have liked more guava jelly. For $8.99, this is a filling breakfast, and you can find it at Pongo Pongo, Trek Snacks, and Drinkwallah, where we purchased ours.
Drinkwallah is an unassuming little stand in Asia and one of our favorite quick-service spots at Disney, but not necessarily for the food. If you walk behind the building, you’ll find a small, covered seating area right along the water. We love hanging out here and taking a break!
Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup $9.99
Boardwalk Deli
- Location: Disney’s BoardWalk
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Boardwalk Deli Menu
Many people are unaware that the Boardwalk even has a quick-service location. The deli is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and offers some hidden gems, including the Reuben, brownie, and grilled cheese sandwich. Grilled cheese and tomato soup hit the spot on a cool January day. We found a table on the Boardwalk and thoroughly enjoyed this meal for just $9.99. While the grilled cheese was nothing fancy, it didn’t need to be. The bread was buttery and toasty, and the cheese was gooey and plentiful. We happily dipped it into the tomato soup, which was tangy, tomatoey, and delicious. This is simple comfort food.
Cuban Sandwich $12.79
Backlot Express
- Location: Hollywood Studios > Echo Lake
- Dining Plan? Yes – Quick Service
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Backlot Express Menu
I consider myself A Cuban sandwich aficionado, and I absolutely loved this! It was a total flavor bomb, and my husband and I both commented on how much pork was on the sandwich. As you can see, there was also no shortage of cheese, which was perfectly melted and flavorful. This sandwich is packed with protein and very filling! The side of plantain chips was a pleasant surprise, and something different from the standard Disney chips served almost everywhere. They had a subtle sweetness that perfectly balanced the savory flavors of the sandwich. There’s no way I could’ve eaten the sandwich myself, so this is definitely one you can split between two people!
That’s a wrap on round two of our favorite affordable quick service at Disney! I do my best to update all these posts with menu changes, but it’s hard to keep up with the ever-changing menus at Disney World. Please let me know if you find something I need to correct. I genuinely appreciate the help!
