Flame Tree or Tusker House?

[Bocko57]

I am trying to decide between these 2 restaurants for lunch, Flame Tree or Tusker House. I haven't eaten at either restaurant. There is 4 of us, myself, DW, DD age 14 and DS age 11. I like Chararcter theme at Tusker House but I am not sure of the variety of food that will be offered. I like the Flame Tree for the more traditional foods offered and lower price than Tusker House.

What do the WDW masterminds suggest?

Thanks.

My boys love FT, that being said if you go to TH it's all you can eat and if you do a later lunch all you will need at dinner time is a snack.

I would vote Tusker House myself.

I prefer Yak and Yeti - not an option for you?

We have tried the table service Yak and Yeti. It was good but we were looking to try something new. Thanks for the suggestion.

Flame Tree hands down. Tusker gets good reviews for breakfast, but I would not eat there for any other meals personally.

I go with Flame Tree. We eat there every trip to AK. We ate ate Tusker House, liked it not loved it. I kinda enjoy eating with the birds at FT also.

We are BIG fans of Tusker House. We go every year for lunch and my DD's now 12 & 10 have always loved the choices and variety. Plenty for everyone, from pork to chicken to beef, couscous, mashed potatoes, great green beans, lots of breads, and delicious deserts.

Flame Tree, i love to sit in the back and look over the water at EE.

I would go with TH, because I have ate here before, but i have heard good things about FTB too!

They are both fantastic! We normally eat at FT for lunch since it is in a relaxing environment and you get a ton of delicious food for the money (or as a QS meal). I've only been to TH for breakfast. As a TS restaurant it would cost more, but it is out of the elements, has great food, and is a character meal.

It's a toss up! It all depends on your budget and whether it matters to you if there are characters or not.

I would probably do Tusker just because the lunch menu looks interesting.

Flame Tree gets the vote here!

Another vote for Flame Tree. The food is good and plentiful, it is a quick meal and the birds will thank you for it.

We at at 11 a.m. at Tusker House - was hoping for breakfast but ended up with lunch menu. But b/c of the time, left over breakfast was still available. Thank goodness b/c the buffet offerings were not very much to my liking. Some was okay and good but most, not my thing. But breakfast was good. So I would choose Tusker with the caveat to go at breakfast. My personal fave, Yak and Yeti.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions and inputs. I am leaning towards FT but those of you that selected TH I am still thinking about keeping my reservation. I still have a few more days to ponder my choice. Thanks Again.

FTB. very good for a counter service and since it doesn't require a reservation, you can hit it whenever you want

Tusker House - get the early breakfast that starts an hour before the park officially opens. The food is excellent and by the time you are done you can walk right onto the Safari Ride or even Everest. Don't get me wrong Flame tree's Ribs were really good but I really liked Tusker House. One other not to miss is Yak & Yeti (if you haven't tried it yet)
