Fabian's Snack Shack - Nowatney

Fabians snack shack at Adventure Island Tampa is a Good spot to get popcorn, lemon icees, blueberry icees, chicken on a stick, or a giant slow smoked honey bbq turkey leg

Fabians Surf Shack or Fabians Snack Shack is located at Adventure Island Water Park next to Fabians Fun Port kids splash pad play area, Island Eats Food Truck, Beachside Craft Brews, Rambling Bayou Lazy River, Colossal Curl Water Slide, Colossal Snacks, and Vanish Point Water Slide. Fabians Snack Shack serves jumbo smoked Turkey legs, jumbo chicken on a stick, popcorn, souvenir cups, fountain drinks, and frozen slushy icees in flavors of coke, blue raspberry, lemonade, and cherry. The Jumbo Slow Smoked Sweet BBQ Turkey Leg at Fabians Snack Shack is just like the ones at Disney World! The Turkey Leg meat had a nice, smokey flavor to it! The leg was also incredibly juicy and tender! After the first couple of bites, I was not surprised that so many people suspect that it's actually not turkey at all, since it doesn't really taste like turkey. It tastes a lot like a cross between cured ham and chicken. I suspect the turkey leg is brined. The strong salty flavor would certainly suggest as much. If you're not super hungry, the turkey leg itself is large enough as a snack or light meal for 2 people, and splitting it among a few people is probably a good idea! I thought turkey was super good for you. But as it turns out, that applies mostly just to the turkey's breast meat. The jumbo turkey leg is probably not the lowest calorie option or the highest calorie option at Adventure Island Water Park with the average leg containing 1,093 calories, 54 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, and 5,284 milligrams of sodium. I imagine the burgers and ribs are more calories than this. While the Jumbo Turkey Leg tastes pretty good, I can't make a habit out of eating this too often sadly. If you're in Adventure Island, definitely give this a try, but just not every time you visit!
