Disney4me Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago You never regret choosing Flame Tree Barbecue. Flame Tree Barbecue This spot in Disney’s Animal Kingdom consistently delivers when it comes to flavor, portion size, and chill vibes — all things that matter when you’re walking 10,000+ steps and still trying to make it to your next ride. Whether you’re a longtime park pro or visiting for the first time, this quick-service restaurant hits just right. Here’s why Flame Tree Barbecue should always be on your Disney dining shortlist — and exactly what we think you should order when you go. Big Plates, Big Flavor, and a Lot of Shade Flame Tree Barbecue doesn’t try to do too much — and that’s what makes it so good. You’re getting solid, smoky meats, comfort food sides, and a peaceful seating area tucked away in one of the quieter corners of Animal Kingdom. That combo is rare in the world of theme park quick-service, where you’re often choosing between speed and taste. Flame Tree Barbecue Yes, the lines can get long during peak meal times, but there’s a reason people keep coming back: this food actually satisfies. Whether you’re starving post-Kilimanjaro Safaris or just trying to squeeze in a meal before your next Lightning Lane, Flame Tree delivers that hearty, feel-good meal energy you’ll need to keep going. What to Order Let’s break down what you should order — and honestly, it’s not a small list, because they’re kind of crushing it right now. Ribs, Chicken, and Pulled Pork Sampler This is the GO-TO if you’ve got an appetite or are looking to split something with a friend. It comes loaded with St. Louis Ribs, Marinated Slow-Smoked Chicken, and Smoked Pulled Pork — plus their Signature Baked Beans and Coleslaw. Ribs, Chicken, and Pulled Pork Sampler Basically, it’s a little bit of everything Flame Tree does best, and it’s genuinely a great deal for how much food you get. If you want a taste of the full BBQ experience in one tray, this is the move. French Fries with Pulled Pork and Cheese Don’t let the name fool you — this is not a sad side of fries with a little cheese dust. This is a full-on meal. We’re talking crispy fries smothered in Pulled Pork, topped with melty Cheddar Cheese Sauce. It’s messy, it’s indulgent, and it will hit the spot. French Fries with Pulled Pork If you’re craving that late afternoon snack that toes the line between “snack” and “accidental second lunch,” this one’s your guy. Baked Mac & Cheese with Pulled Pork Yes, it’s comfort food on top of more comfort food — and it works. The mac and cheese is creamy and rich on its own, but then they pile on pulled pork, crispy onions, and coleslaw. Baked macaroni and cheese with pulled pork It’s the kind of dish where every bite has a little crunch, a little tang, and a whole lot of flavor. It’s an easy win if you’re skipping the sampler but still want something that feels like a full meal. Don’t Sleep on the Seasonal Cupcake We know cupcake fatigue is real, but Animal Kingdom still tends to carry some of the most creative and genuinely tasty cupcakes in the parks — and Flame Tree is often the easiest spot to grab one. Right now, the Flamingo Cupcake is the star: Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Compote Filling, Guava Buttercream, Pink Crispy Pearls, a Sugar Flamingo, and White Chocolate Wings. If you’re someone who doesn’t usually indulge in park sweets but wants that one cute, colorful dessert pic for your feed (and a sugar rush to power through the rest of your day), this is a solid pick. Flamingo Cupcake The Bottom Line is that there are a lot of places in Disney World where the food is fine, but not memorable. Flame Tree Barbecue isn’t one of them. The food here is actually worth your time — even if you’re on a tight schedule. It’s pretty quick, filling, and a great excuse to sit under the shade, listen to the background music, and take a breather before jumping back into the chaos.
