Counter Service options abound at Disney Studios, but several are outside locations. My crew likes to sit and cool off while we enjoy a meal. Therefore, you will find only one of my top three is an outside location.
What is a “counter service” restaurant?
Counter Service restaurants are also known as “quick service” in Disney terms. This is how they are referred to if you are on the Disney dining plan. It simply means you place your order at a counter and wait for your food. Then you take it to a table of your choice. Think Wendy’s, Moe’s or 5 Guys.

Here are my top 3:
1. ABC Commissary –
Not your regular burger and fries place. Here you can find BBQ Ribs, shrimp teriyaki and Mediterranean salads among other things. Grab a Strawberry Lemonade Slushy to drink and don’t forget dessert.
2. Backlot Express –
This location has indoor and outdoor seating. If we can’t sit inside we look for another place to eat. You can grab the usual burger and fries here or chose a chicken club or southwest salad. Have a Fanta fan? Fanta Wild Cherry Slushy is available here too!!!
3. Woody’s Lunchbox –
Honestly, this is #3 only because it’s outside seating. Located in Toy Story Land, this counter service is the newest eats on the block. Pick up a classic pair – Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Soup. You can also have turkey sandwich or brisket melt. Try a root beer float while you are there.
Ready to plan your amazing Disney vacation, but not sure yet where to start.
