Hi, I always think it’s hard to advise on best...too many individual preferences I think.
However all deluxe resorts have a quick service. I was really impressed with Grand Floridians Gasparilla grill. Nice setting and good food choices for my family. Contemporary and contempo cafe had some amazing cupcakes, beach clubs hurricane hanna is beautiful sitting next to the pool. Boardwalk bakery also has some lovely food. I like to combine a food stop with a visit (nosey) round the resort as well so I love all of them!

My favourite two are Contempo Cafe and Gasparilla's grill. They have a wider choice of items than most others IMO.

I think Gasparilla Grill is the only deluxe resort QS I have liked.

Contempo Cafe has a decent selection of food and when we stayed there we would often get things to take to the room, but we didn’t want to eat in as it was very noisy and canteen like.

Wasn’t impressed with Geysers Point at WL as despite being QS there was a thirty minute wait for a table. Roaring Fork was more QS like, I went in to fill up my mug but didn’t eat there as we were Club level. but I would have been happy to eat there.

I don’t think there was much of a QS offering at Yacht Club at all, I think maybe BC is better but we didn’t actually try it our.

I think the best two QS restaurants I have been to were in moderate resorts; Sassagoula Floatworks at POFQ and Centertown Marketplace at CBR.

I'd say Yacht/Beach Clubs and the Boardwalk, not so much for the on-site offerings but for the wealth of options within a short stroll, most notably in Epcot.

Regardless, counter service choice would not be a key factor for me when choosing a deluxe.

The monorail resorts are much better in every way .

Counter service at BC is awful unless you eat cheese! When I was there in September there were a lot of flat breads etc there but I'm allergic to cheese and that's what's on them. There wasn't much else there. I can't wait to return to POFQ next year - I love Sassagoula Floatworks particularly the jambalaya

The marketplace at the BC is fine and Hurricane Hannahs is hit or miss but certainly isn’t “awful”. You have the Boardwalk Bakery which is nice across the way and you have TONS of choice in Epcot which is short walk away.
