This is one of the best spots in the park for a vegan to come by for food. If you’re doing the meal plan, they have so many options that you’ll need to either drop by twice or choose to omit some stuff. (The meal plan option for vegans is 3 selections plus a bonus frybread)
All locations have a binder that includes the ingredient lists
For my first meal, I grabbed the roasted potatoes, roasted vegetables, mango salad, and the free piece of fried bread.
The bread is quite donutty! Delicious! The potatoes are straightforward.
The roasted veggies were nicely done, pleasant roasted onion flavor on it all.
the mango tomato salad was tasty. Peppery and mildly vinegary. The red onions are raw, as a heads up just in case. The cilantro is easily picked out and I didn’t taste the soap, so the soaking in the vinegar may have mellowed it.
They don’t have a 6th item, and watermelon doesn’t count, so for my 2nd meal to sample the items I didn’t get the first round, I just grabbed another serving of the roasted veggies.
The kale slaw is nice and tangy, not too crispy, but not soggy. The ramen gives it a subtle occasional chewiness.
The Bahamian rice isn’t really anything special, and the ingredients aren’t super healthy anyway. (And you can get rice at other locations in the park, so if you wanted to pare down the menu, this is the top item I would pass on.)
The second item I think I would pass on is the potatoes. Especially with the fried bread on the side. It’s the least interesting item compared to the other options.
So if you’re getting only one meal from here, I’d get the roasted veggies, kale slaw and mango salad with the fried bread. But when I visited last time, not everything was ready at park open. So if you’re maximizing the timing of your meals, I’d pop in real quick to the grains place near the entrance for first meal and then go to outpost for the second meal. By then everything should be ready.
I suspect like other locations within the park, that vegan items may sell out early without the intention to prepare more for the day. So definitely optimize the “once every 90 minutes” thing for your first few meals so you don’t miss out on the only items we can eat. (Also pay attention to the hours of each eatery. I missed out on trying outpost during my first visit because they closed early)
They have a very large outside dining area.
Food was mediocre and I paid $155.00 for 5 people. My daughter attempted to get power aide from the fountain and it came out as water. When I told a staff member they just said well check it in a minute. Another party with me bought a soda and that was watered down. Definitely not worth it.

Lines can be a pain here but the grilled chicken was excellent as well as the salt potatoes. Employees could be trained better to get people through quicker, but at least the food is good.

This place is a good spot to sit in the AC and cool off. I came here with my parents and sister for lunch after a bunch of rides. I got the chicken and Mac n cheese, my sister got the shrimp and Mac n cheese and my mom got the same. My dad didn’t eat because he ate gravel he found on the side of the highway on the way here so he wasn’t hungry. The chicken was mid, it didn’t have a lot of flavor and tasted watery, the Mac n cheese was good until a damn hornet landed in it and I threw it away because that’s disgusting. They only have tables here and no booth I was absolutely GUTTED ! I hate tables they r so uncomfortable, awkward and downright hillbilly. Booths r the way to go. Now this used to be bubba gumps shrimp co then it changed to this place. Their used to also be a pair of divers boots 🥾 outside that were welded and bolted to the ground 😂 I used to put my feet in em and get my pic taken lol. WELDED BOLTED BOOTS! I would come here for food again but probably only if I needed to. Like I said the chicken had hardly any flavor so I didn’t really have a good dinner. I got back to our hotel and found some bugs hanging in a web so I decided the spider looked fat enough so I pulled the bugs outta the web and ate the spiders dinner. He was GUTTED. Crunchy and full of protein. If ur at kings dominion u can come here but beware u might not like it all that much. 2 stars for atmosphere because no booths only tables with hard wood chairs, 3 stars for the food because the Mac n cheese was good and 5 stars because the servers were really polite and had an amazing attitude and looked like they really enjoyed their jobs. Below is pics of the restaurant, our food and the big web I took bugs out of at the hotel. Their is a big hole in the web because it was sticky so I had to punch through it extra hard to get the bugs out.

The food was okay, the service was good, since I have problem speaking, but the atmosphere was... strange. There was water everywhere and my bag got wet and the water smelt like vomit...

Overall one of the better places to eat in the park I think. Sometimes there is a little wait for the food to be ready. Only one line here

Long line with 1 server for entree and 1 server for side dish. Would take you 40 minutes before you reach the cashier on friday visit. The food is good, though. Citrus chicken portion was big for All Day dining

Horrible food (some of the worst I've ever had), employees seem constantly miserable.
Just get fast food outside the park.

The prime rib and potatoes were delicious. I had never tried the fried rolls, They were good as well. This meal comes with the all season dining pass, which is great paired with your season pass and all season drink pass.
