Food was not food. We did order online and it was quick service. I wouldn’t ever eat there again. Big waste of $. Only reason I give it a 2 is because it was clean and the desserts are good.
Pros:
Pre packaged food not goodCons:

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 Jason V Review Date: 09/29/2018

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 MaAnniee Review Date: 01/27/2016

The burgers were okay, but of the various items tried on this trip everything was meh...
The butternut soup too similar in taste to pumpkin pie and was thicken so much that it was quite congealed.
The pepperoni flatbread pizza was okay, but the vegetable and bbq chicken both had a very sweet drizzle on top. The bbq chicken base was also very sweet and overwhelmed the chicken.
Forgot to get the first caesar salad with dressing on the side and it was so overdressed that is was a soggy mess. Most of it went in the trash. The caesar dressing was emulsified with so much mustard that it was a dominate flavor.
We gave up after these misses and went to Disney Springs and brought back salads and sandwiches from Earl for the times when we wanted something quick and didn't want to eat in the parks.
Pros:
ease of access for those staying at Jambo HouseCons:

I stopped into the Mara to grab something for a quick dinner. There was very little to choose from. I got the half chicken. It was half of the smallest chicken I've ever seen! It was really very little food and pretty darn dry. The sides were good. There was couscous and the stewed African vegetables.
I was surprised to see that there was a toppings bar. I'm not sure what those items would have gone on but it was a nice offering.
On the flip side, I got breakfast for my DD and she devoured the classic Mickey waffle. The bacon was good. That made me happy.
As with everyone at AKL, the cast was above par.

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.
