Tusker House or Rainforest Cafe?

[suzy508]

Hi! I'm a newbie here, finally coming out of lurkdom.
Which is a better breakfast restaurant? We could do the Rainforest Cafe or Tusker House. I have 2 dds, 6 and 9. We have 2 breakfast buffets for the week. Is Tusker House really good?

Thanks!!
Susan

Are you on the dining plan? If you are, please be advised that Rainforest Cafe doesn't accept the dining plan.

Id say go for Tusker House regardless of whether you have dining plan or not. Our family loved TH so much we went twice last trip, and made it the first thing we booked for our Sept. trip. I cant say personally how good Rainforest is, but the reviews that Ive read have not been great. Plus with Tusker House you do get Mickey and the gang to keep the little ones entertained

I vote for Tusker House! We went to breakfast last trip & are going again this time! Rainforest Cafe is okay, but to us it's not as special since they are all over the country.

Tusker House is the best breakfast buffet we have done. I prefer it over 'Ohana's! Unusual and usual choices and great character interaction.

Tusker House is also our favorite breakfast. Having the characters there is just an added little perk but we go for the food.

I would go with the Rainforest Cafe because my family and I have been there multiple times and always enjoyed their food.

Tusker House...great food, juice and coffee. This is one of the best character buffet meals we go to. We had great character interaction here and they have a musical parade that your kids will love. We went here 3x and its a must to go place for my son on our next Disney trip.

I thought Boma was my fav restaurant until we ate at Tusker last trip (it was lunch). Wow- thats all I can say. We went back for dinner, so I can't really speak for breakfast but I can tell you that Rainforest cafe ranks somewhere on my Top 10 list of worst restaurants ever (possibly first but it's decor does seem to please the kids).
All restaurants have bad days but RC is consistant.
Good for you for not lurking any longer!

I vote for Tusker House. Either choice will be good, but I agree that the Rainforest cafe is all over the country and Tusker House is unique.

my vote is TH based on the fact Im not to impressed c the food at Rainforest cafe(way over priced, even for the atmophere). we have one only a 1/2 hr from our home and have eaten there a couple times. We also have ate at the one in DTD. I am trying to get a last min. ADR at TH b/c I have read really good things about it. gook luck c your decision!

TH is also great because of its location deep inside the park. If you can snag a pre-opening ADR you are well ahead of the crowds!

We like both, but the Rainforest breakfast menu is limited. The kids would probably like the TH better if they are into the characters.
