Food is good, but the lines are ridiculous! The self ordering kiosk lines are long. Then you have to get in another line to get your food!! This is NOT efficient! Was much faster when you just told the person at the window your order & they gave you your food!!

Food was good but I think there should be a better system in place for ordering & pick up. 2 separate lines for each is not very efficient for a busy day. Good food I would recommend the sambusas!

Okay the place to eat at the zoo. Limited food choices, but outdoor seating which you can see the animals while you eat. Also place for inside eating and restrooms

Very chaotic. They advertise hamburgers and hotdogs but had bbq beef and hot dogs. Took us 45 minutes to get all the food we ordered . We had to make 2 trips through my the line had to clean off our table outside which was very sticky.

Great food plus fairly inexpensive. The pretzel is really good that can be eaten by 2-4 people.

The giant pretzels are WORTH IT. So great, and big enough for a family of 6 to share

The spiralled potatoes are very good. The cheeseburger with sweet potatoe fries is ok. The food is more concession stand quality than restraunt quality which is to be expected.

The African fair is great. Every zoo visit I always get the peri peri chicken. Somewhat spicy but not too hot. You can also get a giant elephant cookie or huge pretzel. Expensive options but they would feed a large group
