Food prices match expectations as a snack bar/restaurant in a zoo. You will pay premiums for food here obviously.

Staff is courteous and helpful, even if beset by large families. Wait times are reasonable at peak hours. Seating is clean and cool even at peak lunch hours.

Food selection is slightly limited and ymmv. I found the black bean to be a good example of the vegetarian option, but the buffalo chicken is a little basic. Overall, your choices in zoo are limited, but you will be treated well here.

The food here was fresh and there was no wait. Love the options for all the drinks including slushies and alcohol. They are also selling plastic free disposable water bottles from Aquafina.

Not bad food not too expensive. But I would recommend it if in a party of more than 2 would be better to bring your own food . And yes you can bring coolers into the zoo, or you can leave to go to your vehicle as long as you get a stamp so you can go back into the zoo.

Awful, ordered and they disregarded to tell us that there was a wait until after we paid. If we had to wait then I wouldn’t have picked it. Told us it’d be 3 minutes. Ended up waiting over 20 minutes for my loaded tater tots. Which didn’t even end up being loaded.

It's in the Kansas City zoo. Was pretty busy when we went, but beats having to go somewhere else when you are hungry at the zoo. A beer was like $12 though.
