Sweet Shack is a popular spot for sweet snacks at the zoo, known for its soft serve waffle cones and delicious funnel cakes. The chicken tenders are generously sized and served with fries, featuring a Thai chili option that many enjoy. However, some recent reviews noted issues with the chicken tenders, mentioning a change in supplier that led to chewy dark meat instead of the classic chicken breast tenders. Despite this, the tenders still pair well with ranch dressing. Sweet Shack also offers smoothies, which customers have praised for their taste. While the food is considered amazing with great portions, some diners feel that the prices are a bit high, typical for popular travel spots. The wait time for food can be a concern, with reports of long waits during busy hours. Overall, Sweet Shack remains a recommended dining option at the zoo, offering a nice atmosphere and ample seating.
