Columbia Harbour House

I was so happy to find this place in the Magic Kingdom, where the food tends to be lack luster. It’s not the caliber of the other parks, but it’s reasonably good. I don’t mind paying Disney prices for the fish here, I actually look forward to eating here. I’ll definitely be back

The food was delicious and fresh. I got the chicken nuggets and fish plate; the nuggets are REAL pieces of chicken, not the processed lumps of «chicken» you normally get at fast food places. The fish was very good as well and it came with two good size pieces and they were very flavorful unlike other battered fish I’ve had. My mom had the chicken pot pie which almost tasted homemade and it came with very fresh steamed broccoli. The only issue I had was with the coleslaw; it kind of had an old taste to it even though it looked bright and crisp – I couldn’t eat it anymore. It was overall reasonably priced with very good portions and taste.

Perfect place for the family. The line looked crazy but it was fast and service was organizationed.

This is by far our favorite quick service in MK. They have a great selection, the food is delicious and the service is always exceptional. They have upstairs dining that is usually pretty quiet. They have non traditional offerings like lobster rolls, salmon, and clam chowder, as well as typical theme park food like chicken and fries. Expect it to be on the pricey side, like everything in Disney.

We were wanting a cheap place to get a lot of food since we were on a budget. Our aunt works at Disney and she recommended this place. I got the salad and it was cheaper than I thought it would be! And it was so good! It came with an entire grilled chicken breast on top and I loved the dressing. We got cups of free water, and they were a very decent size; not just the dinky clear ones you normally get. I tried the fish and chips and they were good as well!
They did mess up our aunt’s order, but they were so apologetic and even gave her a free cake because of it.

This was one of the better quick service meals that we have had in a Disney Park! They have a variety of items, including children’s selections, of course. I had the chicken tenders and French fries. The food was all fresh, and the chicken fingers were nice and crispy. I would definitely eat here again!

Kid and hubby really liked the fries and fried chicken strips. The kids meal was good and filling. Liked how they let you control your own condiments for the meal.

The lobster roll wasn’t as amazing as we thought it would be. I enjoyed the clam chowder, but was saddened to find out that it is not available in a bread bowl like they have at Disneyland.
The salmon tasted fresh and the couscous was good! Who knew I liked couscous?
We sat upstairs and it was nice and quiet. We didn’t sit by a window, but I’m sure there would have been a good view!
We also had great service!
I would go back here if it was an MK day. It is one of the better restaurants in Magic Kingdom. It is not one of the better restaurants in all of Walt Disney World, so if you have the option, go elsewhere!

Overpriced and not very tasty. The chicken salad looked good, but it was watery (how is that even possible?) and had no real flavor. The broccoli tasted like the (iceberg) lettuce, and the parmesan peppercorn salad dressing tasted like little more than milk. Ewww! The tuna salad sandwich was slightly better, but only very slightly. The tuna was sparse, and while described as albacore white, it was cheap light at best. Not a good dining option.

Columbia Harbour House served as my last meal at Disneyworld. After being sick of eating the same thing over and over again at all the Disney parks (plain burgers, chicken «nuggets», turkey legs and fries) it was nice to find something that was beyond that. Columbia Harbour House is convenient, quick, and has very decent food.
I got the seafood macaroni & cheese. $ 14 at Disney usually doesn’t get you much but I got a sizable amount of shrimp and lobster in my mac n cheese. Mac n cheese super cheesy. My friend got the fried shrimp platter and inhaled all that. She normally doesn’t finish her food either. Thankful to Columbia Harbour House for having steamed broccoli because it was my first serving of legit vegetables in DAYS.

After reading that this place had great lobster rolls, we decided to check it out right after getting out of The Haunted Mansion. I’m from California where you can say we’re spoiled with our seafood and what we expect. So after taking a bite into their lobster roll, all I can say that it was just alright in terms of taste. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that it was a cold lobster roll instead of a hot one. Additionally, I felt that for the price we paid for a lobster roll, we should have had a decent amount of lobster meat also, but it seemed like there was enough meat from just one lobster claw if anything. On the bright side, their chips were pretty awesome. I’m not sure if they made it themselves at the establishment or were just bought from somewhere else, but I definitely liked the chips more than the lobster.
If you really don’t care or aren’t particular about your seafood and lobster rolls, then I’d say go for it and try it out. But, if you’re like me and get turned off by barely any lobster and overpriced cold rolls, then I’d say skip this place or try something else out on the menu.

We read some of the reviews on here and thought this would be a good place to have a fast lunch. The restaurant is located near the entrance of The Haunted Mansion. We entered the restaurant around 2:30pm. They had someone greeting the guest at the entrance and also someone that guided people to go to a certain line. I like this much more than a made dash to the nearest cashier.
The menu is pretty simple. You need to decide if you want chicken or fish, or both, or a lobster roll. I picked the fish with fries and a large soda. Phillip did the fish and chicken and large soda. Fish and fries is $ 8.49, for the fish and chicken is $ 9.59. It’s $ 3.29 for a large soda, the usual Disney price. The cashier was very fast but not too friendly. You step back past the cashier to the counter to show them your receipt and get your food. The dining area was pretty full but we found a table upstairs. It seems to be a little less busy upstairs, and less noisy. They’ve got a ton of different condiments for your selection. I did ketchup and tartar sauce.
The fish was your average frozen to fryer type. I would put it on par with a fast food fish place like Long John Silvers or Captain D’s. The fries were ok as well. For the price (in Disney) I thought it was good. I wouldn’t want to eat this all the time, but a one off was okay. It was nice to sit upstairs and take a little break from all the walking and crowds.

Columbia Harbour House is a counter service restaurant located at Liberty Square in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. We’ve stopped here for lunch a few times on different visits to the Magic Kingdom. It’s been very consistent.
The fare includes tuna sandwiches, fish and chips, chicken nuggets, clam chowder, and salads. I like the Anchors Aweigh Sandwich (tuna sandwich on multigrain bread), which comes with potato chips, and my wife the Garden Harvest Salad. I’ve also tried the Clam Chowder in the past.
The lines to order move very quickly. You give your order to a cashier and pay and then move forward to the counter to pick up your food. There are several rooms in which to eat, all themed in a New England seafaring style. It’s doesn’t seem like a fast food restaurant at all. Columbia Harbour House is centrally located in Magic Kingdom, making it easy to reach from any point in the park. It’s a good place for a group to arrange to meet for a meal if people have split up to do different activities. I recommend sitting on the second floor. It’s more spacious than the first and not as noisy.

Disneyland was packed as usual and wife and I wanted something fast and eay too eat.
We had been recommended too Columbia House.
I had the tuna sandwich with fries.
The fries were the only good part of the meal.
The tuna was terrible and ate half the sandwich and tossed the rest.
Would definitely not recommend this place to eat for anyone.

Quick and good. This is a typical fast dining location at Disney World. The line moves quickly and the food is fine. My Seafood Macaroni & Cheese was fine. The prices are steep but that’s to be expected inside any amusement park.

We were hungry and walking by this place when an employee appeared and said we are closing in 5 minutes, if you’d like to eat come on in. So away we went and it was a good move on our part.
The line moved quickly. I ordered and enjoyed their salmon platter $ 12.49 and a diet Coke $ 2.99. My only complaint was that I found several small sliver sized bones so be cautious. They don’t offer lemon which would have been nice.
My boyfriend enjoyed a combo platter w/​broccoli, chicken nuggets and fish strips $ 9.59 and a bottle of water $ 2.75.
I would eat there again!

If I had to pick my favorite quick service restaurant at the Magic Kingdom, Columbia Harbor House would definitely be it. With decent prices and good food, it’s a great place for lunch or dinner on a budget!
The décor of this place is awesome! I love all of the old ship themed fixtures and paintings on the walls. Plus, Columbia Harbor House has two floors of seating which is great when the park is really busy. If it’s peak season, there’s normally cast members who are there to help you find a place to sit.
The food is also really good and they are very accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. I have a sensitivity to onions and they had someone in the back make me my own salad with-​out onions on it because I casually mentioned it while looking at the menu. I’ve also had the fish and chips which are great too. The cheap tartar sauce in the small packets aren’t that great, but it’s edible.
Unlike many other quick service restaurants at the Magic Kingdom, this one seems to have a ton of helpful cast members willing to help or get you whatever you need. It’s also in a great location near a lot of great attractions.

Disney Fast-​Sea-​Food
Columbia Harbour House is a fast food seafood themed restaurant located in Liberty Square not too far from the «Haunted Mansion» and «It’s a Small World». It does somewhat remind me of a restaurant I would find in an old town by a river/​ocean.
Anything with lobster calls my name, therefore the seafood mac and cheese was my goal eating here. The portion is rather on the small side, but they certainly don’t skimp on the shrimp and lobster. While the two ingredients are far from «top-​quality» they are good enough to make the dish a positive. The lobster was on the dry side. I could have used a little more mac & cheese as well. Then again more of the expensive ingredients while receiving less of the inexpensive ones is fine with me. It was filling enough that I didn’t need anything but my lemonade. After a long day’s walk in the Orlando heat the tartness of that frozen lemonade made the 3 different occasions I got brain freeze during dinner worth it.
The French fries are exactly the same as all the other fast-​foodish restaurants located throughout Magic Kingdom. Therefore, they are just as delicious as the other locations.
Once again the prices are rather reasonable totaling about $ 15 for the average meal and drink.
The restaurant (similar to most other in Magic Kingdom) sees a high population of children under the age of 5 who love to scream and cry constantly. Sitting in in a back corner of the restaurant we were surrounded by 2 – 3 tables with children constantly crying or making a racket that would make a chipper Disney employee want to go postal. I was too exhausted to tell the lazy parents to control their kids.
As a lunch spot you can’t go wrong, but I highly recommend dining at a place a little more upscale for dinner. You are likely already exhausted from roaming the park all day and the barrage of screaming and wailing children will not help you relax.

If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan this restaurant would be considered a Quick Meal.
This restaurant is better than the other restaurants in the Magic Kingdom other than Be Our Guest. It serves mostly seafood, but has options for those in your party who don’t want or care for seafood.
This restaurant is actually larger than I had expected it to be. It has two floors that have plenty of seating. When we sat upstairs it was pretty much empty because many people don’t know about the second floor, or may think that the stairs don’t really lead anywhere.
The seafood macaroni and cheese was really good. I honestly think there’s a general recipe for macaroni and cheese across all the parks and restaurants because all of the places where I tried it, it tasted the same. Everywhere except Cape May Café. The macaroni is still really good, and tastes great here with the lobster and shrimp added in.
The chicken pot pie was also very good, but the portion is smaller than the macaroni and cheese, and they serve it with a side of broccoli. My boyfriend said he would have liked it to be bigger and he finished off my macaroni and cheese because it was too much for me.
They let my dad get double chicken nuggets instead of fried shrimp and chicken nuggets because he doesn’t like seafood.
The clam chowder was very good, it wasn’t too thick or thin and had lots of flavor.
The peach cobbler was tasty as well, but it didn’t have very many peaches in it and the dough was leaning towards the «too soggy» side.
Overall I would definitely eat here again because the atmosphere is great and the food is really good. Also, if you sit upstairs you can see Rapunzel’s tower through the window.

Wanna know a hidden secret?
If you’re on the dining plan, the Columbia Harbour House is serving lobster rolls for lunch.
Yay! Why the heck would you want to eat a greasy burger or even more gross, a turkey leg in the hot sun? You look like a savage eating that thing, heck no.
Me? I’d like to see a cutie waitress looking like Betsy Ross serving me a New England style sammy that’s actually pretty good! They do go a little strong on the mayo but guess what? Me likee.
Great menu choices like salad topped with chicken, chicken nuggets, fried shrimp as well as a Hummus sandwich? That’s Yankee ingenuity for ya!
Right across from The Haunted Mansion, Columbia Harbour House is a cool lunch spot. If it gets too crowded downstairs, head up to the second floor.
Next go to The Hall of Presidents. It’s cool inside and you’ll be super patriotic.
Columbia Harbour House. Makes me wanna dump tea in the Disney harbor. USA USA USA!
:D
