Where should we at in Animal Kingdom?

[V2000]

Not familiar with anything here. It will be our first time in AK.
Either quick service or fine dining.

Where are the best places you have eaten? Recommendations welcome.

Flame tree BBQ is an awesome QS location.

Everyone in my family LOVED lunch at Tusker House. Great buffet optons for all and awesome character interactions.

Flame tree for me

QS: Flame Tree BBQ (best food available).. runner-up: Restrauntasaurus (food is ok, but has a self service beverage machine)
TS: Yak & Yeti (best TS food in all of WDW, imo)

Another vote here for Flame Tree BBQ! Easily one of my favorite QS locations on property!

Yak and Yeti counter service was really good. So is Flame Tree BBQ.

Flame Tree - but don't forget Rainforest Cafe if you have not done one yet. Worth it at least once depending on ages of any kids.

Yak & Yeti & Flame Tree are our absolute favorites but this year we are trying Tiffins!

Another vote for Tusker House. It has a good variety of options on the buffet, plus the characters come to your table! Wasn't really a fan of Y&Y table service - felt like overpriced Chinese take-out. Y&Y quick service is solid, and more reasonably priced. It was our go-to place to eat at AK until we tried Tusker House.

Tiffins might be the best food I've had anywhere at WDW not named Victor & Alberts. That being said, Tusker House is alot of fun.

The ribs at Harambe Market are awesome. I wasn't all that impressed by Flame Tree and Yak and Yeti QS got rid of the one thing I liked there.

Another vote for Flame Tree.

Trying Tusker House for lunch on my next trip.

I love Yak & Yeti (either table or counter service, both good) and another vote for Flame Tree BBQ.

Thank God I'm not the only one that wasn't impressed with Flame Tree. I found it dry and bland as all get out! I sat there thinking, "maybe all these folks don't have bbq where they live and don't know what it's supposed to taste like?" ??? I find the same with the Japanese at Epcot that everyone loves. Yuk, it's exactly the quality of the food court in the mall. If you have good japanese steakhouses in your area, don't ever try the Disney version. blah!

I forgot to add my vote of Tusker House. We didn't care for Yak and Yeti. It was just okay. Can't lose with Rainforest...something for everyone and amazing theme.

There are some pretty good options at AK when it comes to dining. Some of my favorites

QS: Harambe Market & Flame Tree BBQ
TS: Yak & Yeti is a decent 1TS restaurant with nice decor and decent food. Tiffins is a signature (2TS) restaurant and completely blew me away when we dined there the beginning of June. It was excellent and I will certainly return again.

I will give an honorable mention to Tusker House. I'm not a fan of buffets overall, but this one at least on most counts is average when it comes to food quality... And for me being average is a pretty good review for a buffet.
