Although we've never tried Flame Tree (because we go to Tusker all the time), we have found Tusker to be one of the best counter service restaurants in all the parks (hence why we go there all the time).
Their food is very good and of a more "sit down" type quality. I tried their salmon last trip and it was VERY GOOD, I was quite impressed...better than many regular restaurants you'd find! We've had the rotisserree chicken which was also very good and the chicken salad which was ok. We like to sit outside and watch the acrobats do their little show, very entertaining.
We prefer the menu at Tusker so we have not ventured over to Flame Tree. The sides of corn and barbequed beans are not appealing. We are spoiled by native corn, summer only! Our trips to WDW are usually in November.
I'm sure you will enjoy either one based on all the good reviews!
Where is Tusker House's outdoor seating? That's the only reason I returned to Flame Tree-I love that outdoor seating. However, I've not been happy with the food. Salad-tasted like it had no dressing; pork sandwich was way too dry. Next time I'd love to try Tusker House's salmon now that I know that they have seating outdoors.
I really enjoy Tusker House restaurant. I like their rotisserie chicken meal. Also, a good tip, when you get to AK go back to the safari ride and get a fastpass then while you wait (hopefully not too long) go eat at Tusker House for breakfast. It was my favorite meal all week. I got a plate with biscuits, sausage, potatoes, and scrambled eggs. YUMMY!!!
