This is a theme-park food stand, and I don’t generally expect much from such “restaurants.” That said, this place ain’t great. The veggie burger isn’t bad—the slaw, cheese and brioche bun are nice. The regular burger is kinda “meh” and there’s nothing special about it. They give small portions of fries with your food though which is disappointing. Their fruit is pretty fresh. Do NOT order the steamed vegetables—they taste like they came frozen out of a bag and were steamed last minute. The food is also pricey, which, again, is to be expected. Staff is friendly and helpful. Overall this is not a good value for the money and you’re better off bringing your own lunch, which the park allows you to do.

It’s a restaurant in a zoo. We got the double cheese burger and bacon cheeseburger, can’t mess that up right? About $15 each. Burgers were over cooked, buns were thick and not toasted but it’s a burger so it was fine. Fries were surprisingly crispy and well seasoned but nothing to write home about. Staff was nice. Ask for ranch and ketchup, while the ranch was watery it helped make the burger less dry. Dining is all outdoors under umbrellas

The food is horrendous. Absolutely the worst I've ever seen in any park in either Europe or the U.S. the only edible thing here are the fruit cups. It's insane that it's still operating. In the attached photo the fries are swimming in a puddle of oil and the bun of the sandwich is absolutely soaked in oil.

This food is absolutely disgusting the hamburgers where cold and the cheese fries also where cold and disgusting I was starving I drove a very long drive and ate it and got very sick the next day. I think even food poisoning it’s so awful that safari park knowing that the scenery is beautiful know that they don’t have to make the food good for many people to buy it in my opinion I want to warn others don’t eat it just because you feel there’s no other choice. You will regret it the restaurant deep in the park is very good but it’s hard to get to and you need reservations I had always ate there but this time this one was very easy to get to by the entrance there’s still no excuse to serve this disgusting food cold and I believe it was old that’s scary. It’s also extremely expensive what I payed...

I didn't get why they only got 2 stars.

Got a fish burger, an orange salad, a kids meal cheese burger. The fish was crispy, the vegetables and fruits were fresh. The soda was a bit waterish, which was not too annoying after several hours' sweating walk. After all, decent food for such a fast food restaurant. And the price was not too bad.

The major weak point was that they don't have indoor tables. It is always nice to sit in the patio, especially in a safari zoo. But while dinning with the nice plants around, we were also dinning with annoying fliers.

Food: 4 stars. Meeting expectation. Fabulous plants: +...
