Columbia Harbour House- This place was packed at the MK a few days before Thanksgiving. There were long lines, but luckily there are laminated menus that get handed back through the line so those waiting have a chance to decide what they want before they get up to the register. Also, the crush was so bad that after each customer received food, they was no way out with the tray without many "excuse me/pardon me" nudges.
Now to the important part- the food. We were 5 on this line, me, DH, DS12, DS16 and my sister. I got the much heralded Anchors Aweigh tuna sandwich on toasted multigrain bread. Yum! That was a good sandwich. Beats a tired old burger any day. I split this with DS (12) and it came with a bag of chips which he couldn't have because they were not safe for a peanut allergic kid. I think they were a brand called Miss Vickies. The rest of us tried them and they were very good - thick chips.
My sister got the Half Sandwich and a Cup of Soup which I believe was a clam chowder. She gave DS her crackers to make up for him not being able to eat the chips. Her sandwich was a half of the Starboard Deck sandwich, a ham sandwich with a broccoli slaw and cheese. She gave this a thumbs up as well.
DH had the chicken strips and fries. He didn't comment on the chicken either way, so I suppose it was standard. I snagged a few fries and enjoyed them, but they were also ordinary theme park fare.
DS 16 also had the chicken strips and fries. Like most 16 year old boys, he kept his thoughts to himself.
For dessert, we got 3 chocolate cakes and one apple pie for my sister who doesn't like chocolate. I thought the cake was nothing special. Later in the week, at AK, I had better chocolate cake (IMHO) at Pizzafari. DS 12 was later taken to the funnel cake stand to enjoy a funnel cake for dessert since the cakes were off limits for him. He really enjoyed that funnel cake, which I knew was safe for him since I had checked it beforehand via email with Disney.
Grade - A - for variety and freshness
Still to come, Pizzafari, Boulangerie Patisserie and Dole Whip stand.
