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

We bought Mac & cheese for my 5 yo-she hated the taste of it. The chillie fries were so good. The iced tea was bad too. The reason we were there was because it was mentioned as Asian cuisine when we googled. we walked all the way from the cart Safari for that Asian food and was surprised to see the menu wasn’t Asian. The lady there said they changed the menu a week ago! So was very disappointed with the menu and the taste. Hence the low rating.

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.

I’m a little bit biased only because I work at the San Diego zoo Safari Park and what is the best places to eat is here at Thorn Tree they have hamburgers too even french fries too whatever you like you could actually check out their mail if you put it in Thorn Tree Terrace in Google and it will show you out the menu. It’s a great idea and a great opportunity even download the app if you have to have a great when you guys great place to eat at the San Diego, Zoo, Safari, Park, any of the locations

Service was okay, flies constantly landing everywhere with no fly traps or anything. One of the worst burgers I have ever had, very dry and cold unmelted cheese. Super expensive too.

Their veggie burger is good. The bun is soft and the burger isnt just a dry hockey puck. They put some shredded cabbage and melted cheese on it too. I really wish the zoo would have this veggie burger on their menu!!! The fries are cut into large wedges and have a good flavored salt sprinkled on. They did a great job cleaning the tables and keeping everyone social distanced. Staff was friendly and upbeat, too!

Just plain disgusting…. 20 dollars for a McDouble tasting burger less seasoned.

This was the absolute worst food we have ever had . . . In our whole lives! The burger tasted freezer burnt, and the chicken teriyaki bowl was incredibly weird and atrocious. The rice and vegetable were soggy and tasted like they scooped it out of the trash. The “chicken” was a weird texture and it looked purple and tasted awful. The customer service was also lacking as the gal failed to mention we needed to show our receipt for refills throughout the park. In short this food was traumatizing.

I didnt 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 dont 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: + 1Annoying fliers: - 1

Kids burgers were cold, and the Sprite was lacking in syrup. Total price for three cold burgers, bad drinks and a bag of Cheetos - $30. The only thing here even remotely worth getting is the Orange Chicken meal.
