Cafe Africa

I'm surprised our zoo can afford to have such a nice place to eat at. I was impressed by how good my hamburger/fries and sweet tea was. And how good they keep it clean looking. I think ill start coming here to eat 2-3x a month.

They get your food out to you fast! The appetizers are great! The customer service it excellent. Very helpful, patient, and pleasant workers.

I'll do the middle on stars. They were busy with a kid group and they all got burgers and chips which was pretty neat. But I ordered a basket of fries and it was a very small portion of fries. It was about as much as a kids meal with fries and they were under cooked. As a professional cook myself I understand being busy and trying to get food out but quality over quantity. I would not have sent that out with as little amount it was for the price the guests are paying. I'm always up for giving places another chance but I probably won't get the basket of fries again.

The zoo itself was very nice and the majority of the zoo workers were friendly. However the restaurant SUCKED. As soon as we walked in the guy at the front would not stop rudely staring at me while I was trying to look at the menu. Almost as if he was trying to intimidate me. I felt very uncomfortable looking at the menu and trying to order because he just looked like he DID NOT wanna be there, and HATED that he was there. The tables were dirty, not even wiped off. The man in the restaurant who took our order walked around “cleaning” however, he wasn’t cleaning just making it look like he was. At least be nice. It’s not our fault you’re working at a zoo restaurant. Go get a new job if you hate it so much you have to be rude to customers.

Just visit Café Africa to ruin a good zoo visit. Prices are off the hook for the poor quality food and drinks and for the lack of service. Cashiers are merely wall flowers.
