Both the Crown Colony House and the Smokehouse are two of my favoirtes at Busch Gardens. They have quite a few places to eat, and most of them are worthwhile.
As for the rides, if you're a coaster lover, Sheikra, Montu, and now even Gwazi are must dos! Jungala is a pretty nice area with some neat animal habitats and nets to climb and whatnot. I'd also check out the new Cirque Dreams show!

My favorite place to eat in Busch gardens is the Zambia Smokehouse. Beats the heck out of flame tree and you get a nice sized portion of food. Busch gardens is a majority outdoors, think AK so if you go during the summer pack some sunscreen and stay hydrated. Cheetah Hunt will be complete around late may, right now the crown colony area is tore up. Busch Gardens has their own pay for fast pass. If you go on the weekend during the summer, it can really make your day relaxing, off season and weekday can be a waste.
