Took the guided tour, got to my car and got up to the Cafe around 3:27. Was informed that they close the grill at 3:30 but they'd be open until the 4:30 advertised on the door if I would like some chips. And after seeing the prices, I probably won't be trying to eat at this Cafe again. Disappointed in the high prices and the closing of the grill early. No, I don't want to eat some chips after spending my afternoon on your tour. Waste of my time to even drive up there after finishing the tour.

Was worried it would not feel worth the price but it was a yummy meal and worth it plus the view is amazing.

If you enjoy solid grub and solid scenic overlooks this will be your spot! Enter from the main entrance or the quicker 'back entrance' way. The back winds around and then up towards the nature store and inside area where there is a little petting zoo with goats. I really enjoyed coming here on my way home from my trail race. It's a fun stop and you can do it along with exploring Fossil Rim. You can come without checking the park though free of charge. They have smaller single snack serving plate (veggies, hummus, cheese etc) or sandwiches and full meals. The sweet tea was pretty good and they also have hot chocolate for the kiddos, coffees, fountain drinks. Even on a rainy day I saw families and people coming to enjoy the overlook in the back. They have an area to sightsee and get views of the animals from the top. A must see if you are in the Glen Rose and Fossil Rim area.

Yummy grilled cheese and crinkle fries, but best of all you overlook Fossil Rim's giraffe pasture. Great lunch spot. Accessible halfway through the park or you can go to the back entrance if you just want to do lunch.

The highest priced junk food. Not even that good. Its expensive and made the cheapest way possible.

So this cafe is the overlook cafe of Fossil Rim! So enjoyable, you will eat good food and it was fresh food too, hardly a wait for the food as they cook it FRESH! You can see the giraffes and deer while you wait for food and while you eat. So many children enjoy this area it's amazing. We will be back time and time again.
