Convenient.

- Cheeseburger Basket - $11.75: The cheeseburger was taken from a warmer. The cheese was melted, but solid and stuck to the bun and tore the bun while trying to add toppings that were given separate from the cheeseburger. The toppings were very fresh and crisp, however. The burger patty was still juicy and cooked good. The bun was still soft and fresh.

- Fries (included in basket): Crinkle cut and on the thinner side. They cooled really fast and were tough. Eat them immediately. They needed a bit of salt, too.

- Super Pretzel - $6: Soft inside and lots of salt. It was on the darker side and tough, but okay.

- Service: Fairly immediate and helpful.

- Conclusion: You are mainly paying for convenience here. It is not bad, but it is nothing much to write home about. The burger was okay.

Visited on a Friday (Fourth of July) at 3:30pm.

Small snack stand with pizzas, burgers, and other easy zoo fare. Prices are as expected when there's no competition!

It is what it is. Kind of pricey but it helps pay for the care of the animals and it's nice being able to grab a bite with the little one when visiting. However we tend to just grab a pizza by the tigers versus a burger or pretzel
