As I pinky promised Fry Bucket, my family and I came out to WDW to celebrate mom’s birthday 7 months ago in DAK and we had an amazing birthday dinner for her at Tusker House with the character dining included. Goofy and Donald were great.

Pros:

Food is absolutely just out of this world and especially the white cheddar Mac n cheese. But the food overall was great/outstanding quality.

Cons:

However it is pretty pricey but the dining experience is worth it if you have the cash saved up for this experience.

Hello,

My family dined at Tuskers House Restruant on March 14th. We had a pleasant experience with the hostess and all the staff except for the charter handler who was handling Daisy Duck at around 11:45 am when we're finally seated. Upon arrival to our table we needed a high chair that he (the cast member) was standing by rudely said it was not his job and I asked if I could take it to my table and again rudely said "ask your server" mind you our reservations we already late even though we checked in well before our reservation so our toddler was fussy if you can imagine. And we told him okay we can wait but you don't need to be rude. And the Entire time as he was "managing" Daisy he would have one of conversations saying something about our table. I obviously noticed because he was in eye sight across the room and when would chat with another cast member both would directly look at our table. His presence and demeanor made my family nervous the entire meal. Mind you this is my father's 77th birthday. And having to watch us being treat poorly was not part of the disney magic. Our server carol bless her was great but the handler for Daisy that morning/after broke our Disney magic. We have been big disney fans as our family but have never been treated or felt that way at disneyland, aulani, tokyo... no where. The food was okay much geared for adult tastes but our party at another table who had another great server help their picky eaters with some extra options. Also note with your reservation expect to wait addition 20 to 45 mins to be seated.

Pros:

Food for adults Servers/hostess

Cons:

Character handlers

So loud, so squished in at our table. yes, it was school vacation week, so they overbooked i guess. We had 2 reservations and they wouldn’t put us together. Characters did not dance around, when we saw them there was no room to get up for pictures. Environment is dark, ceilings low, loud and tables squished in.

Pros:

Server was good, seemed very busy. Food was good.

Cons:

Environment, accommodation, couldn’t see characters from out corner

I was pleasantly surprised with this. I’m not one for buffets but they seemed to bring out smaller dishes to the buffet which were being refreshed frequently. The characters were fun and very interactive. Service was great. Food was good and better than the normal Disney buffet.

Pros:

Fun characters

Cons:

Expensive

We used to love this place when it was a buffet but everything has gone down hill since switching to family style. The beef was doused with a herb sauce that tasted like a just drank a bottle of perfume. The pork was cold and dry. Chicken was ok but was cold as well. Our service was horrible. I chalked it up to the waitress having a bad day, but my sister who was with us, said this has been the way it is ever since it reopened. She’s been there a few times. Characters were rushed by our table with little interaction. This used to be our go to for character dining. Not anymore. Everyone seemed like they were in a bad mood. It must be a reflection of new management.

Pros:

A/C in a hot park

Cons:

Price, Service, food, limited character interaction-

We were seated quickly after checking in. Our waitress Jojo was sooo detailed and kind. She was fun and engaging. The characters came out one by one immediately after our seating. It was so nice to be in AC and meeting characters without long lines. The food was alright, nothing to brag about. This was our last table service dining after a full week of dining. I didnt like the chicken. The rib and shrimp were really good. Potatoes a bit too salty for me. I LOVED our desserts. I also had a mai tai and that was delicious. For me, this was a one and done. Food wise- I wish I wouldve eaten quick service throughout the park since there are so many good options, but I do not regret trying Tusker House once.

Pros:

Character one on one time with photos. Lots of food, AC, table, and own bathroom without the long lines.

Cons:

Food was okay. Nothing to brag about. Character one on one time felt a little rushed- take your pic and next.

Delicious food and amazing service. We went for dinner and had the best server here that went above and beyond to find something (off menu) that my extremely picky daughter would eat. This isn't the best character experience (I would give that to Topolinos), but the food was good and it is definitely worth the trip when you're visiting Animal Kingdom.

Pros:

Delicious food

Cons:

Expensive
