Must-visit restaurant in San Diego: "The Taxidermy Restaurant". The entire place is filled with real animal specimens—lions, zebras, deer, bears, wolves... truly unique! Hidden behind a side door is a bar with Native American vibes, perfect for a drink after your meal! � #SanDiegoEats #UniqueDining #TaxidermyRestaurant #HiddenGem #TravelGoals

The busy bee cafe is one of the most hot busy places in the San Diego zoo. All the beverages and the snacks have a huge demand the lines are very long collection and taking orders is quite efficient. I enjoyed the veg burger and the ice tea. Also for my granddaughters, loved the French fries. It's a very nice place with an ple shaded seating area to enjoy the food after you have taken it. Also, another services, the free water provided to the flood. Everybody whoever asked for it and they do it with a smile. I like the vibes in the cafe. Very, very happy to visit it. I think one of the best places to see happy footfalls will visit again

Liked the name of cafe which is situated inside the zoo and it aligns with zoo perfectly. As name suggests, it’s always Busy ☺️. Yes, good place to enjoy meal that can be enjoyed in the zoo. You get quite an option for veg meals or drinks while you need to energize taking the tour of the zoo. The prices felt overpriced and seems its double the amount for a vegetarian meal.

Besides the food: no one wants to accept anything edible from a lady with coffin nails: that is an absolute gross oversight for food industry standards. Long nails like that are harboring stuff from all week long 🤢 And yes, we did leave after eating because of belly aches.

The double patty burger is necessary because each patty is as thick as a double slice of cheese. Neither makes it half way across the bun, so its really misleading: it takes two of these patties to comprise a whole patty and its still a meager and flavorless one at that.

There was even some tiny, hard, colorless spots that my son kept spitting out. What is going on here?

It has bacon on it, but it is so thick and hard that it was inedible. I doubt they will offer bacon for long with the CA price jump that is expected on the pork industry. While the thickness looked appetizing, the texture made it useless.

The shoestring fries are not greasy, but lack any flavor. There were enough on the side if just one burger for an entire family though.

The pickles were the best part, as they tasted more like zingy homemade ones vs the jarred stuff at the store.

Overall, I wouldn't stop again for the menu items :(

I'm not a fan of sweets, but the cake pops were expert level, so I expect that the kids will want one to finish every back to this side of...

Food is ok, but the service here is subpar and the staffs here are rude and unprofessional. I purchased two combos and 3 kids meal for my family, while waiting for the food to come, I went back in to get a refill for my refillable cup purchased at the zoo, waited in line just like everybody else, but but when it’s my turn, the cashier glanced at me and skipped me and started asking the lady behind me what she want, like I was never there. It’s a Monday and it’s not very busy, the lady behind me was the last in line, and I had two woodpile in front of me before my turn, and there are two other staffs standing there with their head down and doing nothing. After another 5 mins, one of the other staff finally came looked at me again and saying we will help you with your refill in a minute…I guess if you have purchased your food, and paid, your other needs, like the refill, becomes the secondary priority to them, and they’d rather do nothing than helping you with a 20...

I’m sitting here next day and didn’t want to forget to post my review. Now the service was horrible. The first two people were decently nice but the guy working the register? I think his name was John. HORRIBLE. Didn’t crack one smile and in fact looked disgusted with everyone, he even went to take the beeper out of my 6 year old’s hand couldn’t bother to ask her for it- but that’s beside the fact.. the food?? The food was incredible! We had the pizza, honey siracha wings, shoestring fries, and a fruit cup with yogurt. Absolutely delicious. Pizza was hot and ten inches (some reviewers weren’t given the right size). The wings blew my mind. Great food but they need someone else on the register for sure- I’m so glad he...
