Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good food Cons: Seating layout
Flame Tree has pretty good food and there are a variety of selections. The seating layout is extremely widespread and makes it difficult to find your party unless everyone stays together or sends someone back to the queue once seating is found. Because all the seating areas are not easily visible, it takes a while to find a table during busy times.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Nice change from the typical counter service of WDW Cons: All outdoor seating (that mean's it's HOT)
One of the top counter service places in all of WDW. Food is all very tasty and it is a nice change from the typical burgers, pizza, and chicken nuggets that is WDW counter service. Wish they had some indoor seating as Animal Kingdom is always very hot.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Lots of seating Cons: Aggressive ducks!
Although I'm not a big BBQ fan, I'm told by somebody that is that this is pretty good BBQ given that its "fast food". I enjoyed my part that's for sure.
Please don't feed the ducks.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): food selection, portion size Cons: finding a seat, avoiding ducks
This may be our favorite CS place in all of WDW. 2 meals feed my husband, 5 year old, 2 year old and myself. The flavor/quality of the food is great. Now finding a seat can be a pain (especially with 2 little kids) as there are several different terraces to check out (and walk down narrow paths. Beware the ducks that will be at your feet/touching you the entire time you are seated.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quant Seating Areas Cons: All outdoor seating
The food here is fabulous. My favorite counter service at any park. The bbq is terrific and this is a great place for a nice lunch. There are lots of outdoor covered tables scattered in the trees and bushes to sit and relax. Walk all the way down the path and to the right is a great area over looking Expedition Everest.

Pretty good BBQ considering its a theme park. One meal was big enough for two of us. There is some nice seating down by the water here. Some people don't like the baked beans, but I thought they were fine.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great view! Nice quick service food options Cons: Bit of a challenge to get to seating area
Love how the food options are different from usual fast food fare. The BBQ ribs were tasty, as was the pulled pork sandwich. Kids meals are usual fare.
If you're with young kids, it can be a challenge to get your tray of food, and then walk down a number of steps carrying your tray and directing young kids, down to the seating area.
However once you get there, the views are awesome!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great Choices, Good Portions, Very Share-able Cons: seating is spread out, some indoor seating would be nice
Great counter service in Animal Kingdom! I wish more places in the theme parks offered this selection. Like Cosmic Rays, the ribs or chicken entrees can be split and the fruit plate is awesome with a sweet yogurt dipping sauce that is hard to beat! Sharing an entree, drink and fruit platter costs about $20 for two people with small to normal appetites.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great selection for a Counter Service meal Cons: Fighting with the birds for your food
Flametree is the only Counter Service meal we plan up front. An added bonus is the large seating area behind it. The cover is nice when the sun is beating down on you. Watch out for birds while you eat, since they expect to be fed.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): ribs Cons: can't choose sides
The ribs are good, and you get a large portion. They are a bit on the dry side. They come with baked beans and a corn muffin. I wish you could choose your sides, but they are firm.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quality of food, portion size Cons: Birds in the seating area
This is our choice for a meal at AnimalKingdom. The choices are large enough that some of our light eaters can share. Both the ribs and the chicken are good, though the ribs can be a bit dry, and the side dishes are great. The beans, corn bread and fries are always hot and tasty.
The only problem is that everytime we visit, we seem to have issues with lots of birds in the covered seating area. I imagine people feeding the birds have made the animals rather bold, but it can be hard to eat when you're trying to keep birds away from your table.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): great food Cons: bird attacks
This is very good bbq chicken and ribs. However, be careful while carrying your tray to a table as it can be kinda treacherous. There are a lot of different levels and cement steps. There are also birds galore walking amongst the diners. Altho there are warnings, people still "drop" food or feed them and they can get out of hand. It is a beautiful little oasis, however, to take a break.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good Food Cons: Seating
The food is pretty good food and not your standard theme park fare. The seating is supposedly large but widespread and makes it difficult to find your party.
We where there at a busy time and it took FOREVER to find enough seats, but because of the layout we didn't see other sections that were apparently empty down by the river.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): lots of great seating; good food, ;arge portions Cons: limited variety of food choices, odd traffic flow from windows
We enjoyed our BBQ chicken salads, fries and onion rings. We shared two salads among three people and had more than enough. If you don't like BBQ you wont like your options here, but the food was tasty. There are ample places to sit behind the building, but it is not particularly well marked. If you dont go to one of the lines on the left you will have to fight your way over to the pathway that leads back to the tables. Many tables are by the water and many are covered -good on rainy or hot days.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): yummy food, not just a burger Cons: sometimes se
This is my favorite counter service in WDW. DH and I make sure to eat here each trip. I love that it is good food and something besides a burger. The bbq beef sandwich is my favorite. It is good comfort food. There is a lot of seating nearby, but during peak meal times it is crowded. We have always been able to find a seat, it just takes a few minutes of walking around.

This is not my favorite counter service place. A lot of people love it but I find the ribs to be dry and the chicken to be greasy. However, the corn bread and desserts are good.

A tasty alternative to burgers and the like. Nice outdoor seating some seem to go unnoticed. Tables in Wonderland discount applies.

We like this food. Not spectacular BBQ, but well done. Nice portion sizes. I think we had chicken and corn. Really enjoyed the waterside tables. The lines get a bit long and slow, though.

This is the best CS in WDW!!! Never had a bad experience here. Plenty of seating. The "hungry" birds are annoying.

Good BBQ ribs. Good food overall. Outdoor seating wouldn't be so bad, if 1.)you didn't have to watch your food like a hawk to keep the birds from snatching it, and 2.) the heat of a hot summer day.

one of my all time counterservice favorites. I love the pulled pork sandwich. the cold turkey sandwich is delicious. out of way seating areas make for a peaceful & relaxing meal. This past trip we were lucky to find a spot overlooking the lake with Expedition Everest facing us. The ducks can get a bit overbearing at times

Positive aspects of the product (pros): large portion sizes, nice seating area Cons: messy to eat
This is a location that serves large portion sizes. The chicken comes with cole slaw and baked beans. In the past corn on the cob was a part of this meal, but it wasn't the best, so I'm glad they no longer include it.
The seating area behind the Flame Tree is a very relaxing spot to sit and have your meal. We usually sit in the area where you have a nice view of Expedition Everest across the water.
While the food is very good here, it is messy to eat. If you don't mind licking your fingers a little when you're done, this is a great location to try.

Flame Tree is Disney at its best. The portions are huge and the prices are nice. All of the food is delicous and authentic. It actually tastes like BBQ! Our favorite AK eatery.

This is good counter service! I don't care for BBQ, but really liked the ribs. The cornbread is also very good.
This is a good spot to eat if you happen to be dining solo, because there is ample seating and you can people watch!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): cornbread and good pork sandwiches Cons:
December 2008 we ate here and it was surprisingly good! I had a pork sandwich and cornbread and it was all great and I really enjoyed the outdoor seating. If you go all the way into the back of the outdoor seating you can get a great view of expedition everest as well! Beware of friendly birds who will come up to you and beg (or steal) for your food! This is pretty great fast food BBQ for theme park food!
