10. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe
Magic Kingdom
Yeah, it's almost always crazy-busy in here, but with a massive toppings bar, you can upgrade those plain French fries to chili cheese fries for no extra charge.
9. Columbia Harbour House
Magic Kingdom
Sure, fans like the lobster roll, clam chowder and other seafood favorites. But it's comfortable upstairs seating that's the real bonus at this Liberty Square eatery.
8. Starring Rolls Cafe
Disney's Hollywood Studios
The place for aspiring star-chasers to enjoy muffins, pastries, sandwiches and desserts before heading down Sunset Boulevard.
7. Flame Tree Barbecue
Disney's Animal Kingdom
Enjoy a view of Mount Everest from across the lagoon as you tear into your choice of barbecue ribs, chicken or pork.
6. Yorkshire County Fish Shop
Epcot
We can't decide if this take-away window's more popular for its crispy fish and chips... or its Bass and Harp beers.
5. Katsura Grill
Epcot
Enjoy some udon or curry and tell yourself, "Hey, I'm at Tokyo Disney!" Well, yeah, sort of. ;^)
4. Tangierine Cafe
Epcot
Order the shawarma and imagine that you've joined the Avengers. Hey, it's the closest you'll get to seeing them at Disney World.
3. Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
Epcot
Two words: School Bread.
2. Les Halles Boulangerie and Patisserie
Epcot
French pastries, breads, soups... there are no wrong choices here. But a hot baguette, lobster bisque and a chocolate eclair makes a very nice lunch.
1. Sleepy Hollow Refreshments
Magic Kingdom
Take it away, TPI reader Emily: "With chicken and waffle sandwiches, root beer floats, soft serve ice cream, and giant, homemade ice cream and chocolate chip cookie sandwiches, this is the best place to get a snack in Walt Disney World."

Also, I'd agree with the other comment that Disneyland's counter service is superior, especially to the Magic Kingdom.
I concur with the bakery comment. It's tough to compare quick serve places with each other when some don't even offer full meals. Starring Rolls does have a limited supply of sandwiches, but I wouldn't consider it a place to eat lunch if you're not getting there right at 11:00 AM for a sandwich.
I also concur with the Disneyland comment, but you have to consider that DL is more of a locals park, and in order to keep those locals from eating at home or at a place that is a 10-15 minute walk from the gates, the food has to be good. WDW has the advantage of a captive audience, and their quick serve places just need to be as good as comparatively priced generic fast food. WDW also has a larger supply of table service restaurants, so the quick serve meals need to be different enough from their table service counterparts to necessitate the price differential. I would also say that the Disney Dining Plan probably has a lot to do with the lack of truly excellent quick serve restaurants. Since guests pay a set rate for meals regardless of what they purchase, it waters down a lot of the quick serve restaurants.
