We love Yak and Yeti. The food is consistently good (the tuna nachos are great!) and the service has been pretty good. We love the atmosphere and decor. The first time ate here we'd eaten at Tiffins a few nights earlier and had a really bad experience with the nonexistent service. We all agreed for the money we could eat at Yak and Yeti twice for what we paid at Tiffins and have just as good, if not better experience.
Pros:
Interesting menu and overall good foodCons:
Cocktails are not great here. Skip those unless you like sweet, fruity drinks.Review of Tiffins

This was very disappointing for us. We had been so looking forward to eating here. We had a late reservation so the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Our food ranged from good to incredible. That wasn't the problem. The problem was the service. I honestly cannot recall having such poor service at any other place in WDW. We aren't that hard to please. We order off the menu, and enjoy a slower paced meal but this was ridiculous. Our drinks finally showed up after we'd finished our appetizers and were halfway through our entrees. Our server hardly ever came back and checked on us. We literally went for 45 minutes or so without seeing her. we never got the complimentary bread and had to flag down another server to find her to get our check. It took so long to get out of there, that the busses had mostly stopped running. We waited an hour to get a bus (they finally had to call for one) to get us back to our resort. Considering how much we paid for that meal, I'll never try it again. Just go next door to Nomad - same kitchen and wonderful food and excellent service every time.
Pros:
Food is good to excellentCons:
Our service the one time we tried was horrendous. I've had significantly better service at our local Applebees than what we experienced at Tiffins.Review of Satu'li Canteen

This is probably the best QS on Disney property. I love the fresh bowls that you can customize and the cheeseburger pods are such a fun treat.
Pros:
Fresh, delicious optionsCons:
Honestly nothing, though I guess it can get busy during typical meal times.Review of Harambe Fruit Market

We must be the only people on the planet that dislike the corn here. I'm not sure if it was just an off day, but neither my husband or I liked it at all. And we love African spices. I'm not sure what particular spice they put on the corn, but we hated it.
Pros:
Fresh fruit and corn is a nice change from other theme park optionsCons:
Hated the African spices on the corn - even though we typically love that type of foodReview of Dawa Bar

I think this little bar is underrated. I was pleasantly surprised by the drinks. I was afraid they would all be sickly sweet, but for premade cocktails they were tasty and refreshing. Plus, it's a great place to sit in the shade and watch the live entertainment in the Africa section.
Pros:
Tasty drinks, great location in the shade to watch entertainmentCons:
Nothing super inventive about the drinks.Review of Dino Bite Snacks

This is one of our favorite places to eat and drink on property. Cocktails are inventive and consistently good, service is great and the food is wonderful as it comes from the Tiffins kitchen. The view and setting are relaxing. It's perfect.
Pros:
great food, drinks, service and atmosphereCons:
Can be hard to get in on a busy day.Review of Nomad Lounge

Love sitting on the porch overlooking the water and sipping on a delicious Tempting Tigress.
Pros:
Delicious cocktails (I even found the recipe for a Tempting Tigress online so I could make it at home) and the outdoor patio vibe is sooo classy.Cons:
The portions on the apps were kinda small for the cost.Review of Flame Tree Barbecue

Flame Tree BBQ is the hidden gem for dining at WDW. This is a quick service with the quality of a sit down restaurant. The prices are extremely reasonable however the portions are huge. Any of the entrees can easily feed 2 ppl and probably 3 unless you're feeding hungry teenagers (if you know, you know). The seating area is large and beautifully themed, and there is a great view of Everest along the water.
