Tusker House: Thumbs Up

Just thought I’d let everyone know that tusker House is AWESOME.

This eatery recently switched from a quick-service location to a sit-down restaurant and offers a buffet for guests.

In its quick-service days Tusker House was very good and now it’s even better.

If you love the food at Boma’s at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge you will love Tusker House’s offerrings.

Here are some pictures of the food area.

Notice the amount of space…it’s huge.

This area offered breads, salads, and fruits.

This area offers hot foods like salmon and veggie dishes.

There is a generous amount of space devoted to the children’s selections.

The carving station was very popular…beef and pork roasts were the offerrings on this night.

At the center of the food area was “dessert circle” and it was decadent. It had everything….except zebra domes.

Tusker House is most crowded for dinner during Disney Animal Kingdom’s Extra Magic Hour Evenings…especially as the evening goes on.

On rainy nights, like the night we were there….thanks Tropical Storm Fay…the crowd as you can see by my photos…were down.

I may be going out on a limb here but Tusker House may be my favorite buffet offerring throughout the WDW resort. It may not have as many choices as the others on the resort but there are two factors that have made an impression upon me.

First of all the quality of the food is exceptional. It just seemed so much better than other places.

Secondly, and this is important to me…the food is fresh because the containers at the food stations are not very big…thus the food is replenished quite often and made fresh.

For instance, the bowl containing the Ceasar Salad…which is a salad to die for in Tusker House…was replenished three times while we were there.

Quality and freshness…two words to describe Tusker House.
