This is the perfect place to stop in and grab a bite while at the zoo. The burgers and chicken tenders are surprisingly delicious considering how quickly they come out! There’s a large assortment of beverage choices (Gatorade, fountain sodas, fancy craft sodas, beer, etc.) and the french fry portions are massive! This restaurant is also located right near the “farm” area, the “great cats” exhibit, and the carousel, making it a logical and convenient stopping point.

The service that we received was pretty quick, especially for it being during lunch time. Getting a seat wasn’t too difficult either. The food was okay; not terrible, but certainly nothing to write home about. The staff did a nice job of keeping the place clean. Overall, this place is easy to get to and the costs is what you would expect from a tourist destination in DC.

Don’t make the mistake we did. Pack a lunch! 10.50 plus tax for kids meals. $84.41 for a family of five with 1 root beer to drink. They messed up 4 of 5 orders, including a gluten free bun for a food allergy. They also billed us for a fourth kids meal we didn’t order. And the food is at best mediocre. My remade burger is cold. My wife’s burger wasn’t hot enough to melt the cheese.

Food is fairly priced BUT the drinks is where they get you…$4 for fountain drink and $4 for a bottle of water… When I went, the chicken tenders were actually more like heavily breaded popcorn chicken; not bad at all and you get a lot. Two adults could eat an order of the chicken tenders (popcorn chicken). And the staff was mediocre at best.

They were totally not prepared for Spring Break whatso ever. Waited over an hour and a half just to get lunch at this location in the zoo. Felt like a zoo literally inside the restaurant. From the slow service, running out of food and over priced food. 2 kids meals and a regular meal will set you back $50 real quick. And I’m talking 3 piece tender meals and a burger meal. Not worth it at all.

Service was comparatively quick at 2:30 pm. But the quality of the strips were meh. Portion for the price is very good. There is no option for food only this place serving food for the park and quality should be improved. Felt like a checking should have been cooked well. Wait time might be problem if you are going in proper lunch time. But the auntie Anne’s wait time was way too much about 30-40 minutes for about 15-20 customers in front of us at 2:30 pm?

THE best place to eat at the zoo hands down! Easily better than five guys or McDonald’s. Burger was not greasy at all and tasted like a backyard bbq. Would definitely visit again.

Very quick service, which was surprising due to the huge number of people present. Food is unfortunately typical cafeteria food despite the polished and updated interior of the location. Service rating 5 stars. Facility conditions and cleanliness was 5 stars. Food quality was 1 star. Pack a lunch and eat in the nice updated facility instead. At least until FONZ books a better food vendor.

Don’t spend your money here, this place is ridiculous. The food is not worth it. Came in with my daughter around 2:15 and all they had was tenders and fries and employees that just wanted to leave and where being rude about it. I say that cuz they were trying to close the lobby early saying 2:40 closing. Just go somewhere else.

The burgers are pricey and have a small portion size, despite being made from grass-fed beef. However, they lack any discernible flavor and are quite bland.
