Tusker House is well-known for its excellent theming, solid food, short lines, and air-conditioned dining areas - a welcome respite at DAK, which has few such climate-controlled environments. During peak hours it may sport small lines, but these usually go pretty fast.

We had the salmon ($8), which came with yellow rice and tasty green beans. The salmon was serviceable, especially for the price, but it was not exceptional in taste, and was a bit dry. The spicy chicken sandwich ($7) did not suffer from any similar problems - it was moist, surprisingly so for a fried sandwich - and there was ample spicy mayonnaise. This meal was worth its price for sure. Equally good was the turkey wrap ($7). It was really only half a wrap, but it came with a bowl of hot corn chowder that was satisfying and delicious.

Service usually goes pretty fast, which you'd expect from a counter-service location. But the best part of this restaurant is its environment. Themed to the hilt, temperature controlled, sporting ample seating… this restaurant is everything you expect in a Disney fast food establishment.
