Food Choices at Tusker for Lunch?

[plutosgirl]

We have done Tusker a few times for Breakfast and love it but we are going to be AK our first day after our flight comes in. Since they do characters all day (correct?) I am thinking of changing my ADR to Tusker House from Yak & Yeti to get the character meal in on day one!

I looked at what Disney had listed on the menu but it didn't look like much and I know the breakfast has TONS of choices...could be that they just don't have the room to list everything available at lunch?

Have you done Tusker for lunch? How was it and what kind of food choices did they have? Were there a lot of options?

Thanks!

There is a lot of options. Dont recall what as most I didnt care for. I do remember eating a plate of their green beans! Loved that. Made myself a cold cut sandwich. They had a carving station. I think ham, turkey and beef. I also remember someone cutting a HUGE whole fish! Lots of breads, cold cuts and side dishes.

What the PP mentioned are the safe options. They offer a lot of African/Middle-Asian options like curries, boboti, roti, etc. I’m sure you can find a video tour on YouTube. We love it. It’s one of our favorite buffets on property.

We prefer lunch over breakfast at TH. They have a TON of options - carved meats, entrees, salads, sides, desserts.

We usually aim for a late breakfast ADR. Character interaction is longer (as the place is clearing out) and we can enjoy selections of both breakfast and lunch offerings as changeover is happening.

We did this too! It was around 11:30 I believe. Which is awesome because myself and my daughter are big breakfast eaters and my hubby is more adventurous. So, he made a small breakfast plate while they were switching over and then made a lunch plate. My daughter and I had plenty of breakfast plus lunch desserts. They had stuff that wasn't listed on the online menu. There was plenty to choose from!

Same here. Did a late breakfast and was able to do BOTH breakfast and Lunch. Was excellent and I would def do it again.

Lunch def has more adventurous items than breakfast has.

Thinking of doing a later breakfast to take advantage of a few lunch options too - we are partial to breakfast but couldn't get a prepark opening time. What time do they switch over? and will we get charged for a lunch buffet if we eat off that or breakfast because that's what time our ADR was for?

You will be charged a breakfast as that is your adr time.

We had a 10:45am reservation and turnover started at about 11am

I had the most delicious lunch EVER at Tusker House once - I still dream about it! I am not a spice fan and was somewhat worried, but I found the most amazing large couscous and salmon EVER. Seriously, I ACTUALLY dream about it.

We ate lunch there in April and it was delicious! The salmon from the carving station and the shrimp were my favorites! The banana bread pudding is delicious!

We have eaten both lunch and breakfast at Tusker House. Both are VERY good!
