I was initially skeptical about the food quality at a zoo or amusement park, but Sabertooth Grill exceeded my expectations. I tried the Carne Asada Burrito, and the combination of tender carne asada, pepper jack cheese, Mexican crema, guacamole, and pico de gallo was simply delightful. The flavors blended harmoniously, creating a tasty treat that I didn't anticipate from a zoo eatery. Additionally, I ordered the Cheese Quesadilla with guacamole, pico de gallo, and Mexican crema, accompanied by a side of chips. The quesadilla was cheesy perfection, and the sides complemented the dish well. What impressed me the most was the overall quality of the food. It was not only delicious but also reasonably priced, which was a refreshing change from the usual expensive fare found in such venues.

The Sabertooth Grill wasn't to bad of an establishment. The food was actually way better than I expected it to be given where I was. I got their bourbon burger and it was quite well worth it even though it was a little on the pricey side of about 13-14 dollars. The location for eating was a little dirty as can be expected with a high traffic area such as the zoo. One thing I did notice was they put the children's seats for the tables in the sunlight when the attendant went and picked them up. I don't have kids but i figure that's important for some.

Food was MEH. Only grab and go was available, because ya know, covid times. We had some sort of wrap thing that wasn’t even worth taking a picture of, or even remembering what the heck it was we ordered. Sorry I am usually a little more thorough. Maybe when the grill opens up it will be better? I don’t plan on finding out.

We go here for the abundance of space and tables, and great view of the elephants, perfect spot for dining with kids, or to grab a beer and hang with friends. If you are looking for good food, this is not your place. Last time we went I grabbed a yogurt parfait which was $5, it was tiny and the granola was soft so either stale or had been sitting there a while. The decaf coffee (about $4) was undrinkable, and I’m a mom of a 2 month old so it has to be really bad to not drink it. Chicken tenders are pretty good (super picky kid approves) and so are fries. If you gotta eat, I recommend staying with the basic selections. I’ve had the jidori chicken before and that was also big disappointment. My biggest tip: bring your own food into the zoo and eat it here, just add a beer on...

A terrible experience. DO not come here. We paid 50 dollars for the family meal (8 taquitos and 2 nachos and 4 fountain drinks). The best thing was the fountain drinks. The taquitos were overcooked, and the red rice was way too salty and spicy. The beans were even worse and I couldn't even take more than a bite. I'm not really a person to not finish my meal, but I literally could not finish the meal because it was so terribly made. My friends also couldn't finish their nachos because the beef was overcooked, rough and disgusting. We threw away more food than we ate. 50 dollars for a pile of trash. Don't ever come here. Bring your own food or something. The food completely ruined my zoo experience. Would give zero...
