How is Tusker House?

[HGD24]

We loved the former Tusker House counter service and were very sad when they turned it into a buffet. We're thinking of giving it a try for lunch next month though and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks!

We had BF there at our last trip and OMG it was delicious! Maybe it was because I was starving but I LOVED it!

I would agree with this post. We were there a couple weeks ago and thought the food and atmosphere was GREAT!!!

YAY!!! I'm so happy to hear this! We'll have a party of 6 adults so I'm hoping the variety will be good for everyone's tastes.

Never been to Boma's but heard it's "Boma lite."

There is so much variety. My DH went up 4 times and cleaned his plate 4 times. The biscuits and gravy were delicious. I'm a Jersey girl. We never have those! They had the Mickey waffles too that my kids loved too.

The Boma lite tag would apply to lunch or dinner there. Looks like most of the previous posts have been referring to breakfast. We had dinner there one night and I so wanted to like it. Maybe it was just an off night for them, but no one at our table was thrilled.

It was honestly the best TS meal of our recent trip!

The food was amazing.... loved the interesting variety. Our picky eater girls (ages 8 and 5) were willing to try new things and actually LOVED the curry chicken )

Our server was phenomenal and this will be a must-do the next time we go!!!

I think it was good last week....the park closed at 5:00 and my ADR was 5:00. What food that was left on the buffet was good, they just didn't leave any for the late ADRs.

Personally, I would not consider Tusker House 'lite' anything. We had both breakfast and dinner there our last trip and it was fantastic food, obviously convenient for visiting AK, and if you like a character breakfast.... well, we just thought the safari characters were wonderful ! And we didn't even have our kids with us!

We're looking forward to going back our next trip, it's a 'not miss' for us now.

Have a great time!

We just had lunch there, and while it was good, it isn't something that we'll rush back for. There were too many dishes repeated (with slight variations in theme/spices) like chicken and green beans.

The food was across the board, not up to temperature. I really dislike cold food, and that was what we found at the buffet.

It was messy too, but that is more the guests than anything. However, WDW is known for keeping up with that and maintaining the buffet. I asked some quesitons of the CMs who were working behind the buffet but couldn't get answers to the content questions. A little disconcerting (although not allergy related, I do have dietary restrictions).

I'll stick with Jiko, thanks.

where is tusker house? what's on the dinner menu? my kids love buffets

I've done Tusker House 4 times this year (3x for lunch, once for dinner). I have heard it called Boma light, but I love it - in many ways, I prefer it to Boma. As someone else said, there is nothing light about it.

We had breakfast there on Saturday. It was a character breakfast. The character interaction was wonderful. And the food was delicious.. but as a previous poster mentioned we were absolutely starving (we usually eat earlier than 10 am). The juice is great.
It was however very noisy and busy.. but we expected that.

They also do little dances during your meal. With Mickey and friends. They give the kids little shakers too so they can make noise/music.

So yeah it's pretty loud and busy but man the food was awesome!

We had breakfast and lunch there in June. I really enjoyed lunch. It was one of our best meals.

Great to hear! We were thinking of this being one of our Character meals for our upcoming April trip. We will have 5 kids in our "Magical Gathering" group, so wanted something fun for the kids. Thanks!
