Flame Tree Barbecue

Flame Tree Barbecue, where guests with a beastly hunger can dine in a lush outdoor paradise overlooking Discovery River.

Flame Tree Barbecue is a popular counter service spot in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, located near the Discovery Island bridge to Dinoland. All seating is outdoors, but there are colorful pavilions in the back that provide shade and cover from the sun or inclement weather.

The menu features barbecue classics: St. Louis Ribs with baked beans and corn bread, smoked chicken, beef, pork, and turkey. Vegetarians would be confined to eating side dishes, as the main menu does not offer any meat-free options besides a fruit plate. However there is a “Mixed Greens Salad with BBQ Chicken” that reportedly can be served without the chicken for a different charge.

Flame Tree’s children’s menu offers a baked chicken drumstick with two sides, or a hot dog. This location is open for both lunch and dinner hours.
