When you are heading into Dinoland from Discovery Island you will see Flame Tree Barbecue, my favorite Animal Kingdom counterservice restaurant, beckoning you.  From the bright, hand carved sign, to the sweet smells of the tasty barbecue sauce, Flame Tree will not disappoint!  This counter-service restaurant is on the Disney Dining Plan and is open during Animal Kingdom park hours.

Food here includes: ribs, chicken, beef, and pork options served with baked beans and a corn muffins, sandwiches, salads, fruits, and various sides and desserts.  Refreshments available here include beer and wine and most all meat entrees include the great Flame Tree meat rub and barbecue sauce!
