The selection was SO MUCH smaller than the food court at Music All-Stars, poor atmosphere, and the ribs were really terrible
Pros:
We loved the 4 times in 3 hours refillable cup. We took it to our room and then brought it back for an evening refill. Just be careful- an inch of soda counts as a refill.Cons:
The ribs were very tough- I tried taking them to my room for the next day as we planned leftovers for lunch and I just threw them out. Also, even a cafeteria can have a fun, jungle atmosphereReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/31/2018

I cannot say enough great things about this quick service restaurant. The food was so good, the service was amazing and they had fantastic desserts and drinks.

When we stay here we always eat here for lunch or a light dinner. The special of the day is always one of the carved meats, corn beef, turkey or ham. all are excellent and are the best choices on the menu. If the weather isn't to hot we like to sit outside but watch out the birds there will land on your table and steal some food if you leave it unattended for a moment. There is also inside dining.
Pros:
the specials of the dayCons:

The food is OK, but I would say for being at higher end hotel, I think the quick service locations in the All Star resorts are better than here.
Pros:
Lowest cost option at AK ResortCons:
Nothing special for being at a higher end hotelReviewed by KenHutch Review Date: 06/25/2018

I rate this place as mid way between a 7 and 8. It is just a solid counter service restaurant. We ate there several times and when the cook/server noticed I take everything no pork (try to keep largely kosher) she loaded my platter down with extra eggs.
Pros:
Good place for breakfastCons:

We always stop here on our way home and get the carved meat sandwich of the day to go. It’s become quite the tradition and we always hope for the turkey but the ham is good also. When we were there in Sept we were not on the dining plan but it is still a reasonably priced option. The kitchen seemed a little off that day as we had to go back twice to get the correct order. When I explained we were taking it on the road they packed it with the condiments on the side which was helpful.
Pros:
relatively inexpensiveCons:
kitchen crew not always the bestReviewed by mbelerique19 Review Date: 10/10/2017

We made the trip out to dine here because I had to try a zebra dome which was a little less than what I expected but still good. My husband at the black angus burger and found it to be okay; however the Braa chicken flatbread & BBQ pork sandwich are the real winners here. The flatbread had such good flavor from the distinct ranch sauce used and the tangy slaw of the sandwich was the right taste. It doens't hurt that this location give you the chance to explore the Animal Kingdom lodge
Pros:
Great food, not very crowdedCons:

I was thrilled to have cast member Liul from Vietnam, go out of her way to make sure I got my vegan Mickey waffles! Mara needs more cast members as there were long lines to order & everything needed to be refilled (cream, etc)
Pros:
Vegan optionCons:
Needs more Cast MembersReviewed by maddox4 Review Date: 04/19/2017

We always make it a point to stop at this quick service even when we stay in a different resort. And, we always try to come on turkey sandwich day! This trip (March 17) we grabbed these meals as we were leaving for home, packed them in our cooler and ate them for supper on the road that evening. The meat is cooked so well it never seems dried out and love the homemade chips.
Pros:
turkey sandwiches!Cons:

Still the best Caesar Salad we have found anywhere. Made a special trip from Saratoga Springs to get it (and spend some time with the animals)!
