Great fun place to dine. Food selection is large. Husband loves the French dip sandwich. I had the pulled pork,(could have been a little more tender), and served with more sauce. Best handmade onion rings! Service was great. Fresh brewed ice tea. Patio dinning is nice also when weather permits.
Dillon’s is my all time favorite. The food is great, the staff is super nice and the aquarium in the restaurant and the flamingoes by the outside eating area are incredible. I love this place.Vegetarian options: Broccoli and other vegetables are always available.Parking: Lots of parking.

Love that this is at the Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium. I've never had a bad experience. This past visit, the server was outstanding! She was very pleasant and you could tell that she loved her job. I would love to give her a shout out, but the receipt fell out of my pocket.The only concern I had during my visit was the inside of the restaurant seemed like it needed a deep clean. There appeared to be signs of a regular cleaning schedule being interrupted for some reason.Thank you for everything and I'm looking forward to visiting again in the very near future.Kid-friendliness: This is a wonderful place to take your children for lunch or dinner because they have an excellent staff that is patient and accommodating. Added bonus is the shark tank inside and the flamingos on the patio, with a bar in the middle that have plenty of TVs.
My garndson and I had a mac and it was a burger with mac and cheese and the mac and cheese went cold after a few minutes and I just was not that amazing……

A Delicious Oasis Inside Wildlife WorldDillon's KC BBQ was a lifesaver after a fun-filled morning exploring Wildlife World with my students. Located conveniently within the zoo, it offered the perfect pitstop for lunch.The food was fantastic. We savored delicious BBQ dishes that left everyone satisfied. The service was friendly and efficient, which was a huge plus with a hungry group of kids.Overall, Dillon's KC BBQ is a great option for lunch at Wildlife World. It's a delicious way to refuel and recharge before continuing your adventures at the zoo.

Portion sizes are good for the price and food is top notch delicious!!! Excellent option for a date night or to go for friends meet-up.You don't have to go to pay the outrageous prices to go to the zoo to enjoy. I found it to be a very pleasant surprise and will definitely be going back. Hint: the onion rings are out of this world and the ranch is home made. Totally recommend ?

This is our neighborhood restuarant and we love it!!!Parking: Shares the parking lot with world wildlife zoo
A great spot for family dinner. The food was good, the service was great and the fish tank and flamingos were excellent. The restaurant has its own external entrance so admission to the zoo is not required to eat here (they also have a entrance from the zoo so if you are at the zoo you don’t have to leave to come eat here). The indoor dining room has a large aquarium with tons of fish, sharks and even a sea turtle to watch. The patio off the bar has a viewing area for the flamingos. Overall it was super kid friendly and our little one enjoyed walking around to all the different tanks to see the fish, sharks and sea turtle. The food was good, I wouldn’t put this with the giants of Kansas City BBQ but all in al it was enjoyable. I had the three meat platter with Smoked sausage, Brisket and Burnt Ends with baked beans and a baked potato. The portion size was large and enough for me to take home for lunch the following day. My wife had the Arizona Turkey sandwich, she enjoyed it but mentioned the sandwich lacked a sauce (Mayo, bbq or something). We went on a Wednesday night and the dining room wasn’t overly busy, the bar area was very busy and they had a trivia night going on.Parking: Shares parking lot with the zoo.Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly. High chair available. Kids menu. Tons of cool fish to keep the kids entertained.
Had the chicken sandwich. It was good. Service was a little slow in taking order

This is probably our 5th time going to Dillons here at the Wildlife Park. Every time has been great. Until today 4/6/24. Up until this point the food was above expectations. Today was a very different and disappointing experience. I always get the pick your own bbq meal. Today I choose the smoked chicken and baby back ribs. The smoked meat was anything but smoked. I know this because I've been smoking meats for a good while. It also was very dry and completely flavorless. It was just meat. Not what you expect when we've been here before and the place is a smokehouse. Hopefully they can get a better pit master and turn it around. Right now, I won't waste my money here. We won't return until I see better reviews.

Tonight was very disappointing. Most all of our food was dry and tough. The manager gave us a small discount but $75 dollars for our meals and will need to go home and eat. For reference we had brisket and ribs. Both were basically inedible. Fortunately this has not been our experience at other locations.
