Over the years, I’ve read numerous reviews of Flame Tree Barbeque, and they are always excellent reviews. I’ve had it on my “must-do list” for our past several trips, but it always seems like we’re not hungry after breakfast at Tusker House. So, when it came time to plan our December trip, I was bound and determined to actually try Flame Tree Barbeque this time!

We planned on spending two days in each park on this trip. So, for our second day at Animal Kingdom, I didn’t make any table service reservations so that we’d be plenty hungry enough to experience Flame Tree Barbeque. We did just that on Friday, December 20th!

The Atmosphere

All of the seating at Flame Tree Barbeque is outdoor. There is a TON of space, though, so you won’t have any problem finding a place to sit (you might, however, have to walk pretty far to get there!) We chose a seat right along the water’s edge and had a lovely view of Expedition Everest. There are lots of interesting birds that seem to frequent the seating areas looking for handouts (you’re not supposed to share with them!)

The Food

In a word: YUM! We decided to just get a few different meals and share them, so that we could sample different things. We settled on these:

1/2 Slab of St. Louis Ribs – “Our delicious Ribs, smoked in-house, and topped with our Trademark Barbecue Sauce. Accompanied by our special-recipe slowly baked Beans and refreshing Coleslaw”

– “Our delicious Ribs, smoked in-house, and topped with our Trademark Barbecue Sauce. Accompanied by our special-recipe slowly baked Beans and refreshing Coleslaw” 1/2 Chicken – “Marinated, Slow-smoked Chicken, served with our signature Baked Beans and tangy Coleslaw”

– “Marinated, Slow-smoked Chicken, served with our signature Baked Beans and tangy Coleslaw” Jumbo Turkey Leg with Coleslaw

We loved it all! Absolutely delicious and definitely enough to share. Those 3 meals fed our family of 5 with no problem.

We tried both desserts – the Key Lime Mousse and the Chocolate Mousse – both were yummy.

Would we recommend it?

For sure!

Will we dine there again?

Absolutely! We loved all the foods we tried and are anxious to try some of the other menu items – like the Pork Sandwich (wonder if it’s as good as the ones I make at home), and the Smoked Chicken Salad.
