    A medium sized sweets shop in the Animal Kingdom park. They have pre-packaged goodies, and a cold case with fresh goodies as well. A lot of the items are animal themed to fit with the park. Be sure to check out all the adorable cookies!! Staff greeted us on entry and offered help if needed. It was nice and cool in here since they keep perishable items in this store. If you need a cool off stop from the Florida sun this is a good option. They are also attached to a merchandise store so you don't have to leave one shop to go into another. Overall: A Fun park themed snacks and refreshments.

    It may not look like it, but these cookies are huge. I got the white chocolate and peanut butter cup.

    A couple of days ago, I went solo to Disney's Animal Kingdom to partake in the Wilderness Explorer park-wide activity. Along the way, I saw one of the most notorious restaurants/eateries the theme park has: Zuri's Sweet Shop. Back in 2015, it was "under fire" for serving chocolates that looked like animal poop. It was part of the park-wide game I partook in. Unfortunately, they no longer serve such as too many parents complained (some even claiming racism). Despite its history, the question is if Zuri's Sweet Shop (which I will shorthand to Zuri's for the rest of the review) a sweet shop worth stopping into if you have a sweet tooth. I am happy to report that the answer is an acquisitive "yes." First and foremost, we got to get basics about Zuri's out of the way. It is located in Africa, specifically in the Harambe section right across from the train station that take guests to Rafiki's Planet Watch. It is a hybrid sweets shop and unique souvenir store. As shown in the provided photos, there are numerous sweets to be bought in the cold case, mostly chocolates, cookies, and candied apples. Also from what is shown, the poop-themed fudge are no more, but there is "just" fudge that has the consistency and taste of said poop-themed fudge. They just no longer call it elephant poop, zebra poop, etc. Besides that, the sweets were worth it especially the cookies. You are definitely getting your money's worth as they are behemoths. The prices are in between normal to high but once again, look at the cookies and you'll understand their prices are fair. Finally, the staff was accommodating in the special Disney customer service way they are known for. Ultimately, Zuri's is definitely a place worth stopping by if you happen to be craving sugar into your system. Probably not worth going out your way to try, but if you happen to be near it, definitely drop in and check it out.

    This was a great find while in Kissimmee. I'm always trying to find something different that's not…read moreby my home . The prices are reasonable and the portions are quite large for the food. The beverages also are pretty well priced. However, I did not try the alcoholic one this time. The crescent rolls with him y butter were to die for. The first batch is complimentary and you can order more for only 1.99. We ordered the fries cheese bites which was similar to mozzarella sticks and was quite tasty. You can order meals that come wit a side or special. I ordered steak with caramelized onions and a broccoli and cheese side with a baked potato and had left overs to take home was pretty juicy with the sauce and dip. My son ordered the fries steak with loaded fries which he said a little bit too much breading for him but was still a big portion so enough. His GF ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. Thrlere were four of them so also leftovers. Even though I was stuffed I had to order th fried apple pie which I took to go for later with the homemade vanilla ice cream both so delicious . It was late near closing but still patrons eating there. The food took a little longer than anticipated to come out it probably because it was too late. I wish they had one of these near my back home . As I looked it up , there is one in Miami and I e in Hollywood about half hour from me. This is defienekty a great restaurant to go to on a budget or just to save from being on vacation and everything . I will be heading there again for sure .

All were well seasoned and huge portion sizes. And, those starter breads were too tasty. Service - Abraham took great care of us. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and super friendly. Vibe - casual and cozy. Good for families and friends. Space-the space in huge. Nice bar area. Lots of tables and booths available. And sunroom too.

    Thanks to Yelp! I was able to find a restaurant to fulfill my craving for some delicious ribs in…read morethe area! I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

    I seriously can't wait to be back at Big John's! Let me tell you 5 reasons why we WILL be back:…read more 1. Our waitress was absolutely the sweetest. Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness. Rock on, Big John!!
