Went there a Saturday. Was seated right away. Waiter was nice until she got busy with to many tables and forgot to come back to us a couple of times. The food was horrible. Fish was extremely oily, salmon had no taste. The prices were ridiculous. Regret not eating in one of the other cafes, would've probably pay less for... More

We were at Busch Gardens with friends and decided to have lunch upstairs at the Crown Colony House Restaurant. We were very pleased with the entire experience. We had a view by the window so we could watch the giraffes. The staff were friendly and the food delicious. The prices were very affordable for the meals we ordered. We left... More

Reasonable quality food. Pizza base was soggy bit the sandwiches were tasty and dessert was good. Nice to sit outside and watch the animals although you do get pestered by the begging birds

Very good food in the cafe, only sandwiches and burgers etc, but great for the middle of the day, prices are ok too. You can sit out on the verandah overlooking the animals, loads of giraffes, really lovely spot.

If you are going to the expense of going to Busch Gardens, treat yourself to eating here. It is not that expensive, especially relative to the cost of food in the park, and the food is excellent and the view of the serengheti is terrific. Good service, and good value. It is also a nice cool break from all the... More

My family ate there in December and the food was horrendous. Very pricey as well. The bread in my sandwhich was stale and even when I was brought back a second one it was stale also. The other meals looked just OK but not many people were pleased with the food. I would have to say it's your typical carnival... More

Food was just ok. We tried the chicken strips, pulled pork, salad, kids pizza and fries. All were fine, nothing exceptional but certainly edible.
