The Tusker House, Orlando, FL

When I first walked in to the Tusker House I was so happy because it had AIR CONDITIONING! It had been a hot day in Disney World and I was ready to cool off. We only had to wait outside for fifteen minutes ( not bad for Disney) but it was so hot that I was glad to get in. The atmosphere was interesting- it reminded me of an African marketplace -it had baskets of fruits and vegetables( they were fake) and ceilings with terraces and blankets.
The waitress was very nice and explained that it was a buffet and we could eat as much as you want. She also said we didn't have to wait in a line, but could go to your favorite foods first. I order the buffet and had a passion fruit juice to drink. It was cool and refreshing and slightly sweet and tangy.
The buffet was huge. It had macaroni, roast chicken, beef, and pork, lots of pasta and rice ( even couscous) and fruits, veggies, and dessert. I got the roast beef, the macaroni, the marinated salmon, some pork and ham, and a pickle for the first trip. The waitress said to try everything to see what I liked so I did. The beef was juicy and tender and delicious. It was some of the best beef I have ever had. I also really like the salmon- it was slippery on your tongue and tasted like the sea. The marinade was perfect. The only thing I didn't like was the macaroni and cheese- it tasted like cafeteria food.
The last thing I got was the desserts. I had a chocolate cup filled with a strawberry mousse and a coconut macaroon with a gooey and yummy fruit topping. The desserts were delicious. I wish I could have ate more it was so good!
