Extremely not worth it here they sell chicken strips for $15 I bet you will find the same thing at another place for only $5 really pricey and not worth it will never eat here.

Very long wait for very mediocre, overpriced food.

This place was absolutely amazing!!! I’d go so far as to compare it to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. The food was OUTSTANDING and this place deserves a Michelin Star!

Aviary Cafe: It was an okay experience. It wasn't exciting to look at on the inside. There was quite a line, and the prices were a little higher than I expected for the items they were selling. I would suggest just bringing a lunch. But if you forget, this is a great option.

The food is on the pricy side but that is to be expected when eating at the Zoo in my opinion. I got the Pulled Pork Nachos, both my boyfriend & I really enjoyed them. The service is honestly awful. When we first walked in we saw one of the cashiers getting mad at a mother for asking where to get the food at when it was ready for pickup. The whole staff does not seem to be trained on customer service as we had multiple issue with the guy on the cleaning staff almost running into us as we were getting up from the table to grab stuff.

Guys, don't go to this restaurant, it's very dirty to wait in line. After you've ordered, you wait at least 40 minutes for your order.

A kids grilled cheese sandwich meal (with mandarin orange cup and choice of milk or apple juice cost $14.50. I thought it would have had at least cheddar cheese. No, it's a processed american single. And it was burned. Black. Not golden brown or anything acceptable to serve to another person paying for it?!?

Only $2 more for a whole veggie burger with cheese and fries. I thought that was going to be a better value but the veggie pattie was burned also and extremely dry. I knew it was going to be bad based on going from years ago but had no idea it was going to be this awful.

I knew I should have brought our own lunch. Thought I would treat my family to something nice but we ended up still hungry and angry.

I waited for 30 minutes on *just* chicken strips before going up to the front to ask what was taking so long.

They never even put my order in! Just told me to leave after paying *and* tipping

When I asked about it, I immediately got handed the same food I saw when I started standing in line. It sat under a heat lamp for 40+ minutes by then. It was so hard I couldn't even eat half of it

The cashier wasnt even nice about it, had no idea who I was, and she just yelled at me for not speaking up!

I wasted a total hour of my zoo trip on this and had to leave immediately after, still hungry 😑 and mad.

Way overpriced. Seems like they are serving food that has been sitting under a heat lamp for who knows how long. Super lame. Just cook the food when it's ordered instead of taking shortcuts. Don't expect me to tip when you serve me lukewarm food lol. Nah.

Smash burger was good. Fries OK. Grilled chicken sandwich was not good. Didn't open on time at 10 am. Door was unlocked but they made us leave. We had to get coffee elsewhere. Prices seemed appropriate for the venue. Reasonable wait for food. No signs signs indicating hours. No signs saying you can't bring your own food. Indoor and outdoor seating. There are tables at windows looking into the aviary. The window glass needed cleaning. There was debris on the window sill and under the bench seats. The tables were unstable. There were clean all user family restrooms nearby.

Food was overall tasty but overpriced. Atmosphere is seriously lacking and needs updated modern look and paint. Service has always been so slow and unfriendly. They also all seem like they have never worked this restaurant before. Takes forever for food and now when they give you a "buzzer" for when food is ready, it has annoying beeping that is constantly going off as other orders are done.

Excessively slow. Almost an hour wait for basic fast food is unacceptable.
