Reviews
"Coldest,dry food I have ever ate all that money I had to spend you could do better. VERY UNSATISFIED"
"No lids for my soda or any straws. No carry out bags. The pork tenderloin sandwich was decent but the fries were dry. It was okay lunch."
"The pork fritter was a small step above Pete's Pride."
"Wow, they got you here. You are trapped, not allowed to bring your own food, and you and your family are hungry. You need to feed your family but for the price, I expected just a little more. 2 waters for $9.26, 2 salads (Caesar is basic salad with a "pack" of Caesar dressing making it a Caesar salad), 1 with 3 small pieces of chicken, $17.44, 1 grilled cheese, $8.99............ I knew it wasn't going to be cheap and I don't mind spending money for us to eat but wow. In addition, the service was very poor. They acted as if it was a hassle to take an order. I mean come on, you're lucky to have a job! People.............."
"Get the 10 dollar cup. (Tall plastic cup with the built in straw lid) You can refill it for free all day long at places in the zoo that have fountain machines. And the food is what you expect at a zoo or amusement park like setting. Pricey but does a good job at satisfying your hungry people."
