Trapper's Smokehouse

Waited over 40 minutes to get food. Once you actually get into the area to grab your food the environment is really dirty. The heat lamps are absolutely disgusting and have caked on grease and dust. Looked above and the air vents have thick layers of dust and dirt caked on. It’s a very open concept and there isn’t any way to keep the inside sealed which is understandable of all the debris all over the walls and lights. But for 2 meals and two bottles of water and a side of fries it was about $100 bucks. Which for that kind of money I would like to not guess if there is going to be something gross lingering on my food. And the concept of having the drink machine at the end of the service area is slowing down the service line. People are taking several minutes just to get drinks and all the people behind them have their food in their hands waiting patiently to leave. After nearly an hour of that mess I get to the table to eat and half of the meat on the sampler was cold. The food that was warm was really good. The brisket and ribs were very delicious and smoky. Would have been even better if it was hot. I wish this was a smaller concept or have multiple locations in the park so quality and time can be improved. I would have gladly paid that kind of money for a fresh hot plate and a cleaner atmosphere. Will not wait in line for that ever again.

Trapper's Smokehouse is a solid go-to if you're looking for a hearty meal in the park. The platter is definitely the best value, especially if you get the all-day dining pass it’s about half the cost of the pass and then you can use it at other spots too. It’s something we always do when we’re planning to stay all day. The food is satisfying and makes it easy to refuel without leaving the park.

I have never left a review on Google but felt the extreme desire to do so after my experience here. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. It smells great from afar, but the food does not live up to the tasty aroma. Everything was flavorless and dry. The ribs were mediocre at best, but they were definitely not worth the price considering it was almost $40 for ribs, fries, and a slice of bread. The bread roll itself had MOLD in the middle. My friend bit into the roll and realized halfway through the bite that there was mold. The only thing that saved this place was the lady who gave us a whopping load of fries when we asked for more. Would not recommend.

Good portion sizes. Cherry cobbler was great. Brisket was a little dry.

This was a pretty decent place, nice décor and setup. I got the Trapper’s signature smoked chicken for $23 which is a ½ BBQ chicken with fries and a roll. The chicken was good, would have liked just a little bit more fries for the price. I also got a side salad for $8. The food was good. Seating was decent as well.

A 1 star is 1 too many! Food was cold. The staff refused to let us have the fresh food beig put out. As we were heading to the check out they were fighting with a man that was wanting a kids meal that didn't have hard crusted over mac n cheese. Shame on Busch Gardens! Awful customer service.

The exterior is nicely done and we had high expectations. The decor looks like a really decent barbecue place but the food is pretty bland. Not a smoked flavor at all, more like oven cooked with a little sauce. The service was okay but not really friendly. The French fries were good.

Scammed us. The only entree available was the most expensive sampler option, making us choose the expensive choice. When we got to the cashier who could barely speak English, he proceeded to tell me my meal was 46 dollars for a sampler and side with no drink. Mohammed then didn’t even print the receipt, making it impossible to show that the price was wrong. If the side was 11 and the entree was 26 then how is the total 46? I’m sure the tax wasn’t 9 dollars. The food was decent but the bread was very dry. The chicken was bone dry and the ribs weren’t tender at all.

Vegetarian options: No vegetarian options unless you like fries and Mac and cheese as your entire meal
