If you’re like us, you probably have your favorite Disney World quick-service restaurants picked out that you return to over and over again for a quick and easy meal. If you’ve never been to Disney World, you’re probably thinking that fast food restaurants in Disney World can’t be all that great, right?
Actually, some of our favorite meals come from “fast food” joints in Disney World! There are SO many hidden gems to grab a quick bite that are often overlooked and underrated, likely because they’re at the hotels or Disney Springs (out of sight, out of mind). Still, we want to bring your attention to FIVE overlooked quick-service restaurants you need to remember to add to your list for the next time you’re in Disney World!
Chicken Guy!
Located in Town Center in Disney Springs, you may overlook Chicken Guy! as just another fast-food chicken joint, but that would be a mistake. This chicken diner has fantastic chicken and sauces bursting with flavor. Plus, it’s known for its celebrity chef, Guy Fieri!
You can get chicken sandwiches, chicken by the strips, and salads, along with a MASSIVE list of sauces to dunk it all in. There’s Special Sauce, Donkey Sauce, Garlic Parmesan, Nashville Hot Honey, and more. The sandwiches are made with two chicken strips instead of one patty, making them extra thick and juicy. We really like the Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ sandwich! You’ll want to try them all for a full Chicken Guy! experience.

Pepe by José Adrés
Also located in Disney Springs is Pepe by José Andrés on the West Side of the district. This brick-and-mortar location of the popular Washington, D.C. food truck serves up authentic Spanish comfort food.
Pepe also happens to be the quicker and cheaper version of Jaleo, also by José Andrés. So skip the dining reservations and opt for Pepe! We recently stopped by and grabbed the Pepe Burger for $18.
This burger is made with Brasstown beef, 100% grass-fed ribeye burger, American cheese, secret sauce, and piparra peppers. To say it was a hit would be an understatement! You do not want to sleep on this overlooked and underrated burger at Pepe.

Trail’s End Restaurant
Did you know that Disney World has a campground? Yep, you can stay in a tent or RV at The Campsites at Fort Wilderness Resort. This obscure resort also has a mean quick-service restaurant that is often overlooked because it’s off the beaten trail.
Trail’s End Restaurant serves up a hearty meal with all the fixin’s. If you want some fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, and mashed potatoes with all the flavor but at a low cost, stop by this quick-service joint! You’ll find food stations offering pizza, cold fridges with pre-packaged sandwiches, salads, and desserts, and there are hot cases that have the chicken, mac and cheese, potatoes, and more. Everything comes prepared in shareable sizes, so the whole family can have a tasty meal together.
You can even get s’mores kits here for your campsite or the nightly campfire hosted by Disney! You don’t need to camp at Fort Wilderness to give Trail’s End a try.

eet by Maneet Chauhan
Eet by Maneet Chauhan is easily overlooked in Disney Springs. It’s located at the Marketplace in the shopping and dining district, but it’s really tucked away and easy to miss. But you NEED to put this hidden gem on your radar and list for your next trip.
This little quick-service restaurant serves up fantastic food that you won’t find anywhere else in Disney World. It’s also one of the few celebrity restaurants (Maneet Chauhan is a Food Network star) that offers quick-service eating. You can make advance dining reservations for guaranteed seating, but you still have to order at the counter. This is seriously one of the biggest overlooked and underrated restaurants in Disney World.
We love the Chicken Tikka Pizza and Tandoori Chicken Poutine. Of course, you can never go wrong with the bread service or one of the several options of naan. Truly, nearly anything you get here will be great!

D-Luxe Burger
D-Luxe Burger can be found in Town Center at Disney Springs. It is a ranch-inspired diner that offers classic and specialty burgers and chicken sandwiches. You can shake things up with a tasty shake, while getting saucy with hand-cut fries and a specialty dip.
Grab a classic cheeseburger or opt for the Barbecued Burger, which includes two-pressed patties topped with a fried onion ring, Muenster cheese, bacon, lettuce, and barbecue sauce. This fast food restaurant gives you what you’re craving, but at a much higher quality than typical fast food joints!

BONUS: Table Service To-Go
Really want to try a specific table-service restaurant, but you don’t want to or are unable to get a reservation, or you don’t have time for a whole sit-down meal? Mobile Order Table Service To Go is a dining feature on the My Disney Experience app that lets guests order food from a participating table-service restaurant and take it to go.
This option is available at participating restaurants in Disney World Resort hotels. You can order your food on the app, grab your meal, and head to another area of the resort to eat. You’ll select an arrival window, wait for the meal to be prepared (about the same amount of time as if you were to sit down at the restaurant), then pick up the order once you’re notified.
Trust us, you won’t want to miss out on these five quick-service restaurants. It’s fast food at a WAY higher quality. Don’t let these stay overlooked; add them to your list now! And don’t forget about that sneaky Mobile Order Table Service To Go feature in the Disney World app.
