The high pricing was expected, but $15 for two small chicken stripes was no expected. As always, bring your own lunch to the zoo. You can go out to eat at a decent restaurant for much much much cheaper.

Not a fan. The edamame salad was tasty but not filling as it was mostly cos lettuce. The staff looked bored as hell and the layout was difficult as the utensil dispensers were far over to the back door whereas the drinks were closer to the pick up area. Not much in selections of places to eat but I'd pack a lunch in future if we go to the Cincinnati Zoo again.

I ate here as part of a larger group. This restaurant was continuously busy. The restaurant staff kept the flow going and the food coming out. Our food was slower coming because it all came out at one time and we had a larger group. But, the food was good. The restaurant is clean, and well maintained.

The LaRosa's pizza was terrific and the service was great but I don't want to remortgage the house for it.

Better than expected for during the lunch rush. The food was good and outdoor seating was great.Vegetarian options: Great vegan and gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: Exactly what was needed with hungry kids.

Overpriced, simply average food and drink.....we were a customer, but only because we had young, hungry children. My recommendation; next time, brown bag it for the entire family ; there are multiple areas to eat as a family; you'll be much more satisfied, and have $$ for more enjoyable things you need. Coolers and baskets allowed in the zoo.....it's a short walk back to your car if you don't want to be burdened with it all day.

Food was way over priced for the quality of food. If it's your only option like it was ares. Then be ready to spend a fortune for poor or average food. Pizza was subpar. Chicken tenders were fair. Cheese burgers subpar, chicken salad was ok. Fries were the best thing. Attendees were rude and slow. Other guest were rude. Maybe it'd just Ohios attitude I don't know. Do better

Horrible. Undercooked and overpriced pizza. $26 for worse than
This place was a mad house. Went on a Saturday after typical lunch time. No seating available. Took about a half an hour to get to place our order. The staff seemed overwhelmed and were not friendly. The line to get drinks took about 15 minutes, in addition to the already half hour or so we spent trying to order food. There was no ice available for drinks. The floor was sloppy wet and sticky with zero clean tables. All of the self serve condiments were empty and nobody to refill them. Food was served hot and did taste okay though. The prices are absolutely outrageous, as expected.Wheelchair accessibility: Went with 2 people that have mobility issues, one of whom was in a wheelchair. Difficult for him to get in and had to be moved from wheelchair to get into seating area.

The Food is honestly out of this world scrumptious! ? The atmosphere inside and on the outside patio is amazing! It is very comfortable, cool - as in not sweaty hot, and lots of room - especially when it's very busy I never felt cramped. I must repeat that the food was incredible! I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was huge and so yummy, the fries were big and thick and NOT greasy - they were my favorite! The pepperoni pizza had 8 slices for 24 bucks and it was everything you want in a pizza! The cheese OMG I can still remember that first bite I was in shock from the hot delicious flavor gooey and scrumptious melting in my mouth all my senses tingling and screaming in delight!!! Yes it was that good! The food was surprisingly really great! The few things that were irritating was no boxes you cannot save any of the food to take with you. I had 3 young kids with me and they couldn't eat everything, it would have been nice to take for a snack later. The other annoying thing was the pumps with catsup, ranch, mustard, etc all the sauces were all empty and even though I told the employees no one would refill them. That sucked. I love the catsup with fries but I was denied ?, I did survive obviously!!! Overall I humbly enjoyed this experience at the Cincinnati Zoo! For a fast food place it was really nice.

Terrible food service, my family waited over an hour for fries, a wrap, chicken tenders, and a kid's meal. On top of it they lost our order and receipt, after we handed it to the employees.
Lee Wells
It was very crowded but the staff worked very hard to get everyone's orders out and the cleaning staff kept the areas very clean.

The food's pretty good here for the being at the Zoo. I only had the burger and fries but those were pretty good the fries weren't greasy.
