Wondering how Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe stacks up against the other Magic Kingdom Counter Service Locations? Check out The Best Magic Kingdom Quick Counter Service Locations for a comparison of the five Magic Kingdom counter services in a variety of categories including Most Unique Menu, Best Value on the Disney Dining Plan, Best Value Out of Pocket, Best Seating, Best Food, and Best Overall Counter Service.
Food Type: Burgers, Wraps, Salads
Dining Plan: One Quick Service or One Snack
Cost: Entrées $7-$9
Unique Items: The 1/3 Pound Deluxe Angus Burger
Advantages: One of the best fixings bar at Disney with plentiful sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms, pickles, lettuce, cheese, onions, tomatoes, and that hot cheese sauce we’ve learned to love so much. The Deluxe Angus Burger is topped with two large onion rings, bacon, BBQ sauce, and as many toppings as you see fit. The seating area is mostly cool and dark which feels great after a day in the hot sun. There is also covered seating outside. Food is prepared well and served hot.
Disadvantages: This is the most crowded counter service at the Magic Kingdom. The lines to order are close together and there are not enough tables for everyone who wants to sit. Try walking to the back of the restaurant and work your way forward as it’s more likely to find a seat farther away from where the orders are taken. There are no backs on the chairs because Disney doesn’t want you to stay. The hamburger buns have changed to whole grain and may disintegrate while eating. The fried chicken dinner is gone. Desserts leave something to be desired.
Value: Average. Pecos has all of your standard $8+ burgers, wraps, and salads. It’s possible to spend $15 on the Dining Plan, making this a decent value.
Reputation: If your goal is to only eat one burger during your trip then Pecos should be it. If your goal is to eat a burger at every meal then you’ll want to hit Pecos as well. The toppings bar spices up what would be “just another burger” at another location. The quality of the Angus beef is higher than standard Disney burgers and the Deluxe burger is excellent if you like onion rings and BBQ sauce. The location is conveniently near Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain Railroad which makes Pecos an excellent place to stop midday. Overall, Pecos is probably the second or third best counter service choice, slightly behind Cosmic Ray’s because of the additional variety and seating at Ray’s.
Overall Rank on The Best Magic Kingdom Quick Counter Service Locations: 4th out of 5
