The area is convenient as it is inside the zoo. The venue sells very basic food at insane prices… $17 for an admittedly handmade flatbread pizza that tasted like something I purchased for $4 from the frozen section of my local grocer. However, if one thinks about it like a fundraiser for the zoo, it’s worth the extra cost. The location air conditioned and clean. The staff is for the most part friendly and maybe even a little flirty. TLDR: Food is aight, prices are high and hopefully help support the Zoo.

The food was not bad, expensive for sure, same as what you might expect from a zoo. The thing that I didn't appreciate was that my order was ready. I saw the food and the name, but the guy said I had to wait for them to put the food in the pick up shelf, (which there was not even an indication about it) so he let the food there for an extra 7 minutes before he decided to grave it and put it in the shelf. Imagine a 5yo who's been walking and wants his food. It just amazed me how little empathy the worker had. I worked in the food industry when I was younger and come on. He just needed to say, "Oh sure, you can grab it," instead of making me wait for idk what reason.

The tables are kept clean and the trash cans are regularly emptied. Got the burger and fries. The fries were.pretty good, but the burger was very under-seasoned and soggy.
