This was pretty much what we expected for a lunch at the zoo. Typical options like cheeseburger, hot dog, etc. We enjoyed the fries a lot but the hot dog wasn’t great.
We came here mainly because of how it overlooks the monkeys. To our disappointment the monkeys weren’t even in the enclosure right by the restaurant so you couldn’t even see anything.

Normally we make our trek from Lincoln during off season and bring our own lunches. This time we decided to bite the bullet and eat on site. We scoped out several spots, I figured we’d end up at the aquarium eatery. To our surprise the TreeTops Restaurant was open on a Monday and was what everyone agreed on.
The majority of items were $5-$7 apiece. Potato salad was $4. Chips were $2+.
Kids liked the chicken strips and cheeseburger. Adult kids and my husband got a ton of hot dogs which they said were fine. Mac & cheese was that weird gas station gummy kind. Onion Rings were really good. Nobody liked the fries. All of the “fresh” sides… Potato salad, cheese & grapes, and desserts were all very good.
The set up is kind of a cluster “mistake”. No one was in any kind of hurry to help anyone else. Between 4 adults and 2 kids we spent over a hundred bucks. Not entirely surprised, I get it.

I came here with my nephew today, and the prices were on the high end a cup of fruit for almost 7 dollars??? The gardien sandwhich and fries also had no flavor, and for the food to come to be almost 30 dollars, i would expect better for the zoo. The only nice associate was the girl taking orders . Women who checked me out were rude, and standoff ish wanted to pay before and I was going to tell her my order, and she said i had to wait till the food came out.. overall the view was beautiful but food is just not worth the prices wished they would offer combo meals considering they charge everything individually

Ordered a double cheeseburger but got no cheese. Plus they followed the Omaha tradition from the great exposition by charging for a cup of water. Might have bought a deli wrap but it was unlabeled. Next time I’ll plan ahead and bring food with me.

They have Gluten free options! Was super happy about this. Had the Cheeseburger with gf bun and fries. I’m not Celiac, just gluten sensitive. No issues.

None of these reviews should be over 1 star at all. This place was absolutely terrible overpriced and disgusting. You could tell these burgers were store bought and just way too fake and fries as well. The drinks were OK. But omg no free refills of course. They didn’t get our orders right at all. I would give this 1 definitely a 0 star. Should be shut down. I would NOT recommend anything on here. Made my 11 year old throw up

I went here with my daughters to eat lunch on 1/28. I am not sure who the lady was working the register that day, but I didn’t like her attitude. She was very sarcastic and rude. I asked simple questions and she would answer very sarcastically like I should’ve known the answer.. will most likely not dine in there again.
There was a gentleman working that day, he was very helpful and nice.

It’s really expensive but that’s what I guess you can expect when you decide to eat the zoo. It really isn’t bad though. The Hamburgers are really good. And they have salads and fruit, desserts, fountain drinks. They serve booze here too and ice cream. Hot food and cold options. Then sit looking out over the jungle. You can watch the monkey’s playing or random birds fly by usually. I’d rather ear here then any if the other places at the zoo. And it’s more personalized. With condiments and what not.

I feel pity for anyone who has ever ate here in the past or will eat here in the future. If I could give this a lower star I would.
The prices would be fine if the food was at least Edible, sadly it was not. The sandwiches were nothing but lukewarm mush sqeezed in between stale bread. The fries were cold, soggy and bland.
The service was dismal at best with the staff not even knowing knowing how the items were cooked, how does that even work?! How do you not know how something is cooked in a kitchen that you work in?
I had to ask 3 times how my gardein chikn was cooked, the first two times the rude lady at the front counter told me she didn’t know, with a huge nasty attitude.
Most of the rest of the staff seemed tortured to even be working there. The only staff member that was nice, was the older man that helped us in the seating area, I wish I would have gotten this gentleman’s name, he was such a pleasure.

Food options are lacking. Cold fries, cold onion rings. No salad option, bland burger . Veggie cup had frozen at some point, so the veggies were wilted after thawing.
Seed oils used in frying process.
Happy staff, pleasant music playing in dining area.
