How many places in the world can you eat lunch sitting 3 feet from a tiger? I'm sure quality is going to vary at a place like this somewhat but we had a great meal as a family and local craft beer for prices not much worse than if we had gone to a local restaurant. The quality was comparable to a typical restaurant as well. The chicken tenders were massive. Our two kids (3 and 5 years old) shared one 3 piece chicken tender plate and there was food left over.
My one beef was the TERRIBLE payment system. If you want to pay with a card you can only pay at an unmanned kiosk. There is a manned register but only for cash transactions. At the unmanned kiosk if you order alcohol it blocks the transaction until a manager overrides it but it doesn't actually notify the staff. It's up to you to flag someone to come help you and if they don't come quick enough the computer tries to end the transaction. Same problem if you want to apply your zoo membership discount. Staff has to enter a code nobody gave you. There's no way to just enter your membership ID/name, etc. a very poor user experience. Please fix this Tulsa zoo. Otherwise a great meal. Sure beat the original plan of eating at Sonic...
Read moreAll other restaurants in the zoo are better. Ordered the pizza melt, Cuban melt, and kids melt. We also ordered some poutine.
The kids melt is half a sandwich.
The pizza melt does not have any sauce add advertised and is VERY garlicy, and I love garlic.
The Cuban says it does not hasn't any sauce and also says it has pulled pork. We asked if there way any sauce on it at checkout. We were told no. The one we received only had 3 little pieces of pulled pork on it. It also was COVERED in mustard.
The poutine only had 4 shredder curds and 4 little dollops of gravy.
When we asked about theses issues we are told the sandwiches are made before they open in the morning and just heated up when people order them. They also said that we should have known there was mustard on it since it is a Cuban. They also felt there was enough marinera on it.
I have attached pictures so you all can judge for yourself.
Go to ANY other spot for better food and...
Read moreWe had a great experience at the zoo except this place! My wife my son and my self paid for three sandwiches we didn't eat all of. 2 cuban melts (wife and kid had) were smothered in mustard and had two small pieces of shredded pork that was advertised. My son's Cuban not only had almost no pulled pork but one small piece of Ham on half the samdwich. Pizza melt had a large amount of garlic flavor. So much I couldnt take more than 2 bites of it, we asked to have them remade and they explained they were premade and would be the same. so dont eat here at all. We paid as much to get in to the park as we did on 3 melts and 1 drink. We tried to eat and trade to make it work but in the end we all threw our melts in the trash and paid $40 for some ok waffle fries and a drink. SAVE your money and...
