Good old chicken nuggets and burgers. Always make use of the toppings bar as it is very handy. Love the castle view too as well as the music. |

I like the quirky Sonny Eclipse at this restaurant and the ease of getting an air-conditioned seat. The food was only ok on our last visit and the restaurant was really dirty. I prefer Pinocchio's Village Haus but can never get a seat in there! |

Really busy, waiting forever for what was 6 outrageously priced forgettable burgers. Vacated tables were cleaned for next customers. Lots of spills and fries on the ground. Condiments area was messy but had everything we needed.
Wouldn't choose to return but it did the job. |

We had a really enjoyable meal here. There were plenty of tables and lots of space to choose from. We ordered the adults chicken nugget meal and the barbecued pork sandwich. The wait time for the food was short and both were delicious and the portions sizes were large. |

This was our go to place in MK as they served veggie burgers! We all enjoyed our food and ate here twice. Basic fast food Fayre but was tasty and a pretty good selection. The rotisserie chicken was good too! |

We ended up here on a couple of nights. Although the queues were quite long as one of the stations were closed, the meals were quite large and good value for money. I personally loved the grilled chicken sandwich. I wanted to try the rotisserie chicken we had heard about, but it didn't seem to be on the menu (that may have been the station that was closed). We would happily go back on another trip, though we are looking forward to trying a few other QS restaurants that we've since discovered online. But on the whole we would definitely recommend this restaurant for the food amount and quality. |

Everytime we have gone to Magic Kingdom, we have always got food from here! We love the free salad bar (just what we crave after all the burgers and chips!) fast service however very very long queues most times. Great for a quick meal, minus the queue times. |

Absolutely terrible experience trying to dine here. Food ok even though the queues were poorly organised. The area we sat in the co-ordinator and staff started to section off as soon as we sat down using metal poles and chain separators. They actually blocked us in so we couldn't move and on complaining they removed the metal poles but left floor holes open in the floor which chairs could fall down creating significant health and safety risk. Staff very intimidating and unhelpful. Formally complained and was given a free fastpass. Decided the experience was so bad to report to guest services at front of the park. At guest services they spoke to the restaurant manager and fastpass ticket was re-issued as the co-ordinator had given us the restaurant's copy to leave no trial of the complaint so unless I'd gone to guest services Disney would not have been correctly updated with my complaint. Basically the co-ordinator was covering up both the health and safety problem and the fact of a very unhappy customer. Total lack of H&S awareness and customer service skills. Can't comment much on the food as we were so intimidated by the aggressive nature of the staff we left our food. Will not be returning here - complete shambles and not what I would expect from a Disney restaurant. They need to get their act together before someone has a serious accident. Poor show - guest services apologised saying they had recently taken on additional new staff but this is no excuse - people should not be permitted to work if they cannot apply basic H&S rules. |

Yes its a bit annoying having different queues for different menu items, but the food was always tasty and fresh. The grilled chicken sandwich was always moist, the veggie sandwich was also good. The toppings bar is excellent and really helps to fill out your QS meal.
Kids loved watching Cosmic Ray on his keyboard. Our DS has autism and meal times can be challenging, but a "live" dinner show certainly helped get him through. We ate here 4 times and it was always good. I'd probably avoid peak meal times as its VERY popular. |

We thought this place was great and were sad that we only discovered it on our last day! We ate there about 7pm and had no trouble finding a table. The food was good and plentiful - we shared a pulled pork sandwich and cheeseburger (with fries) between the 3 of us (2 adults, 1 child- 3) and drinks. It was a bit more expensive than the other quick service restaurants in the MK but we had an enjoyable experience. Our son absolutely loved the entertainment provided by the piano playing, crooning alien, Sonny Eclipse! |

Ate here as party of 6 with 2 kids. Really strange queuing system with queues for certain types of food and you cant cross over sections... very odd. Food ok and queue wasn't too bad went down quite quick. Plenty of seats and bagged some outside. Has a toppings bar of salad and dressings which was really handy to use. |

My grandson loves it in here, more so to dance than to eat! Have been stopping here for years since my sons were both tots and never have any complaints. It's always busy but have never once failed to find a seat big enough to accommodate all our party. No complaints about food or atmosphere and good place to grab some counter service food and get in the shade for a bit. |

This is my fave quick service restaurant! There's lots of seating in here, staff are friendly, and you can be entertained by "Sonny Eclipse," he's the animated lounge singer. Great for the kids! What makes this my fave QS is the toppings bar! I piled my burger high with all the toppings and the cheese sauce, oh my that cheese sauce, my fries were covered! Lovely place to stop for lunch. Can't wait to get back! |

As long as you can get one of your party to grab a table at peak times this is a good option if you want a quick meal, like some other eateries make sue you fill up at the toppings bar, go for kids meals and then have loads of salad and mushrooms for a thrifty option! |

Popped in here for a quick bite.
Love the whole Sonny Eclipse thing which adds to the atmosphere.
Actually very big inside.
We opted for Chicken Burger and Fries, with our little one going for Nuggests and Fries. They were tasty enough and hit the spot, so no complaints here.
Would certainly think again of making a stop here if needed. |

We always eat here, because we're always in Tomorrowland at lunch time. This year it was absolutely heaving and we were directed by CMs to queues. We all opted for the chicken nuggets. Finding a table was a nightmare, though. In the main room where Ray plays and 'sings' you actually have to wait in a queue until a table comes free and they seat you! I wasn't prepared to stand and wait while my lunch got cold, so we walked round to the back and found at able at the end near the toilets. At least it wasn't too noisy back there.
It was incredibly disorganised this year, though, and not a pleasant experience. |

We stumbled across this eatery one hungry morning and decided on an early lunch. We lived this place fortunately we were both having burgers so could order from the same station. Food was with us quickly and we were straight to the toppings counter, ooohhhh I loved it! The place was fairly empty too so we had a pick of tables, the whole place was nice and clean and tidy too. We loved the singing alien thingy too added a bit of entertainment for our DS of 2.5! We will defo go back. |

As previous posts have stated its your standard quick service food however there are 3 sections for chicken, burgers and salads. We had the bbq pulled pork sandwich which is always really tasty. Toppings bars are a plus! Staff friendly as always and the place was so clean considering how busy it can get! Simple yummy food! |

We always tend to make one visit here. It's generally the standard counter service fare - burgers, chicken strips, caesar salad - but there is a little more variety with the 3 sections and the toppings bar is a definite plus! There is lots of seating but it still does get very busy at lunchtime. The Sonny Eclipse entertainment is something different and it's nicely airconditioned. |

Great for a quick bite to eat. We've ate here several times and have no complaints. There is a separate section for chicken, burgers and sandwiches. We've only ever gotten burgers here but enjoyed them.
The only down sides are it's always extremely busy, your lucky to find a seat. And the last time I went, one member of staff wasn't very friendly. She couldn't understand my Newcastle accent and wasn't very polite about it. But that's the only time, normally there more than happy to help you. We will be eating here again when we go back. |

We always end up here around lunch time due to the wide variety of food to meet each member of our part's taste, and it provides a brief escape from the sun. The best thing about Cosmic Ray's is undoubtedly the toppings bar! |

We ate here twice on our last trip as it was such a good use of counter service meals. It is a big restaurant but still does not seem to have enough seating at busy times.
The BBQ ribs and half chicken combo with fries and green beans was delicious. There is a toppings bar where you can add all sorts to your burgers/food.
There are 3 different stations to queue up and order at, burgers, chicken and sandwiches if I remember correctly, which can be a bit annoying if you want food from different areas.
Restaurant can be a bit cold with the air con on full blast.
Overall, was happy eating here and will be returning this year. |

We like eating here as it is close to the attractions and esay to find. Also, it is well laid out and kids love 'Cosmic Ray' who plays the keyboard. I love watching the kids laugh at him and play with him.
It is good that there are different queues for different types of food so the waiting tim is shorter but it is annoying when you all want something from different parts.
Also, at Cosmic Ray's there is a lot more variety in the types of food than the other Quick service reastaurants.
The topping bar is good as it provides salad and other specialities which make it a bit different from other fast food restaurants.
If you are going to go- go around 11 oclock or 3 oclock otherwise its really busy and hard to find a table. |

This is our favourite QS on the whole of WDW! Its so well thought out and straight forward! - though, I imagine more of a pain if you have small children who all want different things but couldn't queue themselves! - as there is seperate counters dependant if you want burgers/chicken/hot dogs etc. The whole place is well laid out - even the sauce bar. Plus, another thing we love is that you're only allowed through to the seating area (or at least were when we went!) once you have your food, as this seems to work out correctly so everyone can actually get a seat! Well Done Disney,we need more like this! |

We had our lunch here and while it was extremly busy it didn't take long to be served and to get our food. We went to the chicken counter because the kids were wanting chicken strips, we had half a chicken and ribs with mashed potatoes and green beans which i thought was really good value as there was a lot and we could've easily shared that meal. There is a toppings bar for if you go to the burger counter where you can put all different toppings on your burger which looked quite good. We did struggle to find a table as it was really busy but we did get one eventually |

Restaurant is in a prime location near the castle. This place suffers the same problem as about 60% of disney/universal/seaworld restaurants, is that they only seem to serve burgers, chicken burgers or chicken strips and chips, not good if you are looking for variety, all in all the food was still good. Place was extremely busy and we were there at 3pm, very hard to locate seats. |

busy restaurant, but was immaculately clean. we were entertained by sonny eclipse whilst we ate our HUGE meals. i have to mention the baby ribs, as they were sooo lush, me and my 8 year old were prepared to fight for them, lol! although the restaurant is so big, it was well organised with a topping bar close by. my only gripe was that because we all wanted something different, i had to go to three different counters to place/wait for my orders. |

Usually eat here at least once per visit. It's burgers and chicken etc what more is there to say. Having queues for different things can be quite irritating as they are often long. The tables are often left dirty because people are lazy and don't clear up after themselves and the staff are slow to clear them. The queues for the ladies toilets here are also quite long. However the food is reasonably tasty and reasonably priced.

We ate here on a couple of occasions; we all found the food to be of a good quality, bearing in mind that it was fast food.
What we did find annoying having to queue separately if we all wanted something from one of the different sections.
Although it was busy 12noon-2pm, tables became available quickly.

I love this place simply for its burgers, I can't vouch for any of the other food. Having had an amazing burger from the Pinocchio counter service in Fantasyland in 2001 at the age of 10, I was desperate to have another in 2008, however that place had been turned into something else! Luckily they did them here at Cosmic Rays, and, it might be because of childhood memories, but they are one of the nicest burgers I have ever had! |

I find it quite difficult to review counter service restaurants as you typically know what to expect and it would take something drastic for the meal to go wrong. However, the location of this is ideal, but is quite a size and can be tricky to find the rest of your party if they have already sat down! |

Three of us (DW,DD and Self) ate here on a couple of occasions. We all found the food to be of a good quality (the pulled BBQ pork sandwich was excellant), but did find it a bit annoying having to queue separately if we all wanted something from one of the different sections.
It did get very busy (no doubt due to the free DDP) and sometimes tables were not cleaned for a short while, but generally very good food and service. Only downside was that apparently we could not exchange the dessert on the DDP for a bottle of water as apparently the computer systems would not allow this! |

We ate here this lunchtime and I have to say that I was not expecting much but it surprised me. First thing to mention is the faxt that it was very busy and extremely hot so it was good that it air conditioned with high ceilings. The food was ok, bearing in mind that it was theme park food, however I was impressed by the options to add grapes, apples and carrots, milk etc to the kids meals. Overall the food was hot and reasonable. I had the pulled pork BBQ sandwich and loaded it with jalepeno peppars, onions, relish and hot pepper sauce. Although it was busy, tables became available fairly quicky. Our table was clean although we saw many un-bused... Location wise it was perfect we were on the way to Space Mountain from Dumbo, perfect.
It is an old-style Disney set up, pay first, queue and exit thru the centre, but it worked quickly.
For 2 adults and 2 children we paid $28 and felt we had a lot of food. Not bad VFM in park. |

Grabbed a quick burger each here on evening before the Wishes fireworks and thought it fine for a fast food place. Fairly good burgers, good topping bar and seeing a cabaret alien is a novelty our little girl enjoyed.
Only pain was the way you have to goto different places for chicken or burgers. So we ended up all having burgers. |

Cosmic Rays has for many years been our meeting place in MK so have spent a lot of time in here, in fact I think I know Sonny's cheesey jokes off by heart. I wouldn't say it's a must but for me it has a kind of nostagic appeal. Foodwise it's nothing special, the usual burgers, hot dogs, fries, sandwiches etc but there's a good variety and can usually please everyone.
If you can avoid going during peak times, say between 12-2 as it gets pretty packed. At other times there's usually plenty of space. |

Visited Cosmic Ray's many times over the years. Posh nosh, it ain't but as counter service goes, the variety is very good. As a vegetarian, I have always been impressed with the veggie burgers on offer and you can almost create a meal in itself with the items from the toppings bar.
Plenty of seating inside and out, with the latter offering great views of the castle - a great spot to sit back and chill out for a little while. A trip to WDW is not complete without at least 1 trip to Cosmic Ray's. |

As QS goes food is decent enough. It's clean enough and have always managed to find a seat within a minute or two... even at peak during July. Think we have only ever had the chicken tenders and fries which were fine. It's QS. Does what it says on the tin. |
