The food was great and affordable.
You see the bird? Or animal come across you to begging for some food.
It somehow close last in the park because it’s in discovery island so great choice for dinner after roaming around Disney’s animal Kingdom theme park for all day long before going home

The food was delicious! Really great smoked flavor, large portions, and didn’t seem too high priced compared to some of the meals around here. My only complaint was the kids meal, very small portion and no opportunity to sub something out, you get a cookie and an orange.

Baked Chicken Drumstick
I have crossed the line from appreciation into devotion.
What was once a meal has become an act of worship.
The moment this drumstick was placed before me, something shifted. The noise of the restaurant faded. Conversations blurred into silence. Steam rose slowly from the plate like incense from an altar, and I understood—instinctively—that I was no longer here to eat. I was here to participate.
I paused. You do not rush a sacred moment.
The skin glistened with purpose, roasted to a state of balance so precise it felt intentional. Not overly crisp. Not soft. Perfectly ordained. When my teeth finally broke through, the release of flavor was immediate and overwhelming—deeply savory, gently smoky, warm in a way that reached far beyond taste. It felt comforting. Familiar. Correct.
The meat beneath defied reason. Juicy beyond logic. Tender beyond argument. It separated from the bone effortlessly, as if it understood that its role was complete. Each bite demanded attention. I chewed slowly, not out of caution, but respect. This was not something to consume mindlessly.
I found myself reflecting between bites. About life. About choices. About how tragically unprepared I had been for this moment.
Halfway through, I stopped—not because I was full, but because I needed time to process what was happening. I realized then that hunger was no longer the motivation. Faith was.
The sides were no longer sides. They were offerings, present only to honor what stood at the center of the plate. The milk or water was not a beverage—it was a sacrament, cleansing the palate so I could return, renewed, to the next bite. And somehow—miraculously—this entire experience meets Disney Nutrition Guidelines for Complete Meals, proof that holiness and balance can coexist.
At Flame Tree Barbecue, I did not simply eat lunch. I bore witness. I left changed. I will return not because I am hungry, but because I am called.
This is not a chicken drumstick.
This is devotion.
And I am a believer.

We had a terrible experience at this place. We went for lunch and one of the greeters directed me to stand to one of the side of the registers. There were 2 families in front of me, the family on the left completed their order and there wan nobody else in front of them. The family in front of me on the right side took a few minutes to complete their order and pay. At about 10 seconds before they finished their order another family came to the left side. The cashier which name is Eddie immediately turns to the newer family that came in several minutes after us. I told Eddie that I was next behind the family that had just left a few seconds ago. Eddie told me “we are supposed to go to one side and the then the other”. I told Eddie next time please tell me to move to the other side since I have been waiting behind another family for a few minutes. Eddie told me “I don’t know which side you are standing on”. Mind you, there was nobody on the other side for several minutes and unless Eddie has a vision problem, I was pretty visible as I am taller than the family that was ahead of me. I told Eddie to ring out the other family and then I placed my order which included 2 kids pull pork platter. We went to find a table and then started eating. Then we find a long hair in one of the kids pulled pork chops platter. Gross… I went to take it back to the folks handling the food. A young lady that look like a supervisor or team lead made a face and said to me. Let me grab you another one. She went to the back and came back with a new platter which looked even drier than the one before. In the private sector a good manager or supervisor would try to do some customer satisfaction recovery, by offering a refund or a dessert or some other item to try to recover the customers experience, but not Disney. Although, I would not have accepted a refund or other type of “bribe” i would like to at least see some type of apology other than sorry.
Disney has lost its way and it’s a shame that they don’t really care about making the experience “magical” anymore. This is why we will not renew our passholder tickets anymore

A little on the pricier side… $18.99 for the most expensive sampler meal.. food was great, service was great as well.
No indoor seating so it made it a little difficult eating a pork, rib, chicken dish in the 110 degree heat. There was a canopy that provided shade.
We would eat here again as the food was really tasty!

One of my son’s favorite places to eat in all of Disney World. Food was delicious! We ordered Ribs & Chicken combo with cole slaw and beans, Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork, and a flamingo cupcake. Fun live music nearby ads to the atmosphere! Service was helpful.

Flame Tree Barbecue is one of the biggest eateries in Animal Kingdom, with a widespread array of sheltered eating areas. These look out onto either the lake, over to Asia, back to Discovery Island or some lovely secluded spots too.
The menu as the name suggests is a fare of barbecue delights as well as some tasty drinks and limited time snacks.
Some great entrées and excellent value sides that are both shareable.
Try the French Fries with Pulled Pork and Cheese or maybe the Ribs, Chicken, and Pulled Pork Sampler whilst taking in the excellent entertainment just over the walkway.
It’s an upbeat, fun and delicious place to eat

This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Animal Kingdom. They have such an awesome menu filled with delicious barbecue meals at pretty great cost. I’ve eaten here a few years ago but forgot how delicious their food is.
I ordered the baked macaroni and cheese with pulled pork. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. Mac and cheese is always hit or miss with me and this one hit the spot. They also added a ton of pulled pork and onion rings to top it off. Just a note, I do prefer mine with extra barbecue as they are a little light on the pour so be sure to ask for extra with your meal.
After eating this, I was pretty filled up for the rest of my time at the park. Definitely worth checking this place out. 10/10. Cannot wait to go back and have this again. Might also try the ribs, chicken, and pulled pork sampler next time as well even though the cost for that is about $20. I’m positive it’ll be worth it.

Great value in the food. Make sure to use the mobile order in the app, that will save you a lot of time and the service is really quick. You can get a great spot besides the river if you walk down to the path for the sitting area. If you’re not a big eater the ribs, chicken and puller pork platter is enough for two people.
