Best WLM Reviews

Excellent food considering this is a zoo cafe. Prices were high, as to be expected, but the pizza and chicken strips were fresh, hot, and delicious. They did not taste like reheated frozen food, which was my expectation. The staff was working to keep the tables clean and there was a great view of the playground.
My family and I enjoyed a delightful day at the zoo the other day, marred only by the horrifying experience in the Zoofari Cafe. The food preparation staff in particular were woefully unprepared for the simple task in front of them to find out what the people who were there to patronize their establishment wanted, cook it and deliver it promptly.
There couldn't have been a half dozen customers, yet it took almost an hour to get us a simple order. I speak for each of those customers - all of whom were furious by the time they got their crumby food. Even the hungry children with us left about a third of their food uneaten because it was not particularly fit for consumption (see, of all things, the PB & J). Every single person working in food preparation on the afternoon of November 6th, 2023, should be fired and then go find a job where only the absolute minimum in life is asked of them.
What ever happened to American pride in performing the task in front of you?
The service was terrible... the have no manners they took a cup out of my sister hand he didn't even ask for her the cup. The food is good the service bad. Never coming back
Order took over 30 minutes, food was almost not worth eating but being I spent 75 dollars on 3 combos on it I didn't want to waste it.
The food was ok a little high for what it was. But the service was great and friendly.
The zoo is a great day out with the family wish it was a little cheaper maybe we'd be able to go more frequently it's awesome to see the kids having fun and doing the things I did as a kid the new improvements should be nice one finished
Waited over an hour for a simple burger and fries, as did several other people, while guests who arrived later were served larger orders.
I was brushed aside and told my food was coming when I asked, and eventually demanded and received a refund, but not without wasting an hour of my and my family's time.
The staff was probably the only good thing about the Cafe. The food was bland and way overpriced. If you are planning on going to the zoo I would recommend to eat before or after you go. We spent almost $50 on a cheeseburger with fries and 4 tenders with fries and 2 drinks. Like I said the food is way over priced and honestly they should be ashamed of what they charge you for the food and drinks.
