Editorial Review for Crocodile Cafe – by John Hyduk
The Scene
Foragers rustling in the brush, grazers gathering on a riverbank, king carnivores hungrily eyeing their next prey. And intrepid hunters making those all-important decisions, like: ketchup, mustard, or both and relish, too? The Crocodile Café, I presume.
Safari, So Good
Inside the geodesic dome of the environmentally correct RainForest Exhibit, predators of all ages and diet requirements can sidle up under a thatched canopy and nosh in a peaceable, quick-food kingdom. Cool (literally) décor, such as hut roofs and deck flooring, plus tables and chairs that wouldn't look out of place in a treehouse make this rest stop a hit with just about everyone. In the summer, the dining area's air conditioning is a welcome relief after all that temperature-correct tramping. And in the winter, it's just good to get inside for some coffee or hot soup.
The Feed
A bungle through the jungle being the hungry work it is, the Crocodile snaps up finger-friendly favorites including hot dogs, hamburgers and very generous deli platters, plus plenty of coffee and soft drinks for the weary.
But We're Still at the Pachyderm House
Stomach's growling and you're nowhere near the Rainforest yet? Consider an exploration of the African savannah, where the Crocodile's faster, cheaper cousin, the Roaring Lion Café does the outdoor thing with chain pizza (Pizza Hut), burgers and ice cream. Visitors traveling without a little flock of their own can drop in the adults-only Long Necks brew stop. And, oh yes: If time allows, there's a really great zoo out there.
