Great atmosphere. Great food and live sharks swimming in a gigantic tank. I have been here several times and they never disappoint!!! If you love BBQ, this is your place! A+
Good drinks. Table next to the aquarium. Food is ok, not bad, not great. BBQ spare ribs were good but most people would say overdone and too dry/hard. Come here for the atmosphere and drinks and have a sandwich or burger and you will love this place!
The service is always on point. The food is amazing and they offer a good selection. Try the crispy chicken wings. It is an appetizer, however, you can have it as a meal
The portions are reasonable and the food is really great! We all had take home boxes because we could not finish everything. Will definitely be going back. The shark tank is amazing too.
Great food! Great service!
Very nice restaurant great for families,the aquarium full of sharks and stingrays will definitely keep the kids entertained. The food and service can't be beat.
Food was great!! Only thing better, The scenery Yummmmmmy. Left satisfied
Good food and service would go back again when I visit the zoo
The atmosphere was really good, but the food was lacking. I got a turkey club. While the turkey was good, I found the bacon lacking. My wife had a burger and it was flavorless. There was BBQ sauce, but the actual burger was lacking.
They offer a military discount and have an extensive menu with plenty of options for everyone.
Great all the way around. Good food, friendly staff, servers very attentive. A nice chill place to watch Any Games from open to close.
It was crowded but had a friendly staff nice, cold beer excellent onion rings!
Very nice and welcoming... Food was cooked perfect.. We will be returning
amazing food. killer hot sauce. friendly, attentive staff. worth the drive. definately recommend
Great experience eating while watching the sharks swim around in the aquarium. Service was fast and the food is top notch.
Great place to visit because of the large aquarium in the restaurant. It's worth the wait to get a seat near the Aquarium, a lot of large fish including sharks in the aquarium. All of the Smoked Meats are high quality and consistent
This place is absolutely awesome! We were in town visiting our grandparents and they took us here and I couldn't have been more happy with our experience. The food was fantastic, I had the burnt ends and my brother had the brisket, both were wonderful. The service is amazing, super friendly and attentive staff. I would highly recommend eating here.
Food wasn't that good. Service was to long day at table for 20 minutes before server came over
Love the wings and the sauce omg is amazing spicy but delicious
Good food and great service.
food was awesome. I had the French dip sandwich. I could barely finish it. But be warned that this place is busy. So you might want to get there a little early. The service was good. And to have the sharks and the Stingrays swimming next to you while you're enjoying a meal is top notch
Great atmosphere; delicious BBQ!
Great food,fast and friendly staff...
Made reservations for mothers day at 1pm. We show up at 1245 and the parking and outside looks like a zoo. There were 3 of us and after telling them our reservation we were informed that they were backed up on table reservations and would be a 45 minute wait. Not prepared to be busy on mother's day or tried to fit way to many people into resturant and make money. Food was still great even with then waiting 50 mins after we ordered. Server Kylee was fantastic!!
Great place, lots to see! Love this place!
Staff, food, and drinks superb. Drinks were reasonably priced but food was pricey. Can't beat the ambiance of the peacocks, flamingos, ducks and whatever else decides to visit you
Good food,service, and a great band in the bar Saturday night. Loved it nice touch!!
This place was awesome. Loved being able to watch the sharks as I ate. Food was good, service was great.
Food is always very good. The onion rings are great. Their claim chowder is the best and only on Fridays and we moved from San Francisco
Beef ribs are always good to eat there, especially for the price. Friendly and helpful staff.
Dillon's is always great. Several locations throughout the valley. Great drinks, friendly staff.
Food was pretty good. I had the burnt ends, was so-so. Wish they would have had extra bbq sauce on the table. Atmosphere was a little loud, great view of the giant aquarium in the dining room. Overall was pleased with my visit...definitely a more casual restaurant versus the old location in sun city grand.
Food was pretty good. I guess when you order mild wings be prepared to get bbq sauce. When asked or told we got bbq sauce instead of mild. They said that is what we consider mild lol the look on my granddaughter face priceless.
They have a great food n good prices also.. the service is good also
The fish tank is super cool and fun. Kids meal fries are mashed potatoes shaped into smile faces and fried. Cute touch. The kids meals are small. The briscut was really good and super moist!!! Wait is crazy long even at 5pm.
Good food and unique 60,000 gallon tank to watch while you enjoy your meal. Sharks, and rays on the constant move., There is a separate bar area as well as outdoor seating with numerous flamingos. Great place to bring company!
If you like cafeteria style food, then this place is for you. I had the brisket sandwich and it was tough with no flavor. My husband had the bbq chicken sandwich and it was also tough with no flavor. He didn't eat his meal and the waitress didn't even come back to check on us so he couldn't tell her it was bad. The service was non-existent. My grandfather spilled his water, which we cleaned up, but she never came to see if we needed help or new drinks. The only good thing about this place was the aquarium.
Love this place. Great food. Awesome service, even though the night manager IS an Atlanta Braves fan, I would definitely go back.
Food is always terrific and the service is spectacular.
Great BBQ super casual place for lunch or dinner. Right next to Wild Life World Zoo, perfect after walking the zoo to sit down and have a nice lunch next door. Aquarium theme follows through and I'm often tempted by the bar area for drinks, so bring your wallet for a nice cold beer!
Good food. Enjoyed.
Been there many times but yesterday was very disappointing. The food was sub par to say the least and its become way over priced.
Even without the unique setting and shark infested decor, Dillions always manages to deliver a constant experience at any of their locations. The food and menu seem a step above your average chain style restaurant and is one of the reasons I keep returning. I would have went the full 5 stars if the service was as attentive as the other locations. Also the interior seems to rely heavily on the shark aspect, and other small decor details feel dated and half complete.
Prices a little high. Got the incredible burger. It was great. Good place for meeting with Red Hat Club ladies.
Food was great and service was fantastic! Such great ambiance watching the sharks and stingrays. You can't beat Dillon's!
Greatest experience in the Valley Eating a superb Cactus Peach Salad with my lil nephew & the sharks. It was a special experience
Food was good as usual. Unfortunately they were out of our first 2 choices and service was very slow.
Amazing food and great price. Loved the atmosphere and kid friendly.
Food was super good. My kids actually cleaned their plates for once. Service was great and the environment is really family friendly.
Not bad for a place within an attraction. Reasonably priced, customer service was great.
Great food thatcatets to all ages. Your kids will love the giant aquarium.
This restaurant inside the Wildlife Zoo and Aquarium was very good. Reasonable prices, good variety and attentive staff. The enormous shark tank with sharks and rays swimming by was so cool. Enjoyed the experience
Food was ok, service not wonderful, ambiance terrible.
We enjoyed the aquarium and had great service! Food was good as well!
Very good food and a GREAT experience. Will definitely eat there again. I highly recommend the pickle fries and pulled pork with the sweet heat BBQ sauce.
Food was good & reasonable. Atmosphere was really nice. Staff was great.
Robert is a wonderful server! The food was great, too!
Awesome place... Great food ... Fantastic service.. Brittany is the best server. Jess f..is best Bartender. (All four foot 9 inches of her )
Great food ! Had huge aquariums with all kinds of fish
Amazing food, my vegan brothers said the impossible burger was the best plant based burger EVER!! Our waitress was phenomenal
Great BBQ, service, and tons of fun for the young and old. Giant indoor aquarium located in the dining room with sharks, stingrays, and other fish. An outdoor patio right beside a small stream with lots of pink flamingos. Beautiful and interesting to watch...but as anything in nature, as the breeze flows so may some animal smells. Definitely worth sitting on or visiting the patio.
Got to sit by the shark tank. They amaze me. Love watching them. Had the onion rings. They are always great. Food was good. Had the 2 meat dinner ribs were great and had chicken. It was ok but really wanted dark meat and got white. It was a bit dry. Baked potato and Cole slaw was good too.
Great food, great atmosphere with the fish/shark tank right next to your table. Fried pickles are a must, and the fish tacos were pretty good as well.
After five hours at the Ben Avery Shooting Range, we decided to stop by for some brisket. However, after noticing bar-b-qued beef ribs were on the menu we decided to order a plate for each of us. WOW, as you will see below, the servings were huge, the other restaurant patrons clapped when we were presented our meals. Can't say enough about how flavorful and moist they were,,, they were simply amazing.
Yummy food. Great service. Beautiful aquarium.
This visit was a mixed bag The exterior was clean oderly and since it was after dark was well lighted Interior, in fairness looked like the end of a huge dinner rush lots of tables unbussed. Regardless litter on the floor could use a really good sweep or vacuum Service was outstanding sat immediately and waited on just as promptly. Food was prepared and delivered in a timely manner though would have preferred the salad prior too vs with the meal. Brisket was dry with no smoke ring or taste, pulled pork along with the sausage and rolls were very good. The KC sauce was excellent. Had to use restroom; not a pretty site. Trash can was over flowing used Paper towels were every where ...floor, sinks, stalls seat protectors were exhausted though the Dyson hand dryer was awesome. The caulking around the sinks need to be removed and replace. The young lady bussing tables was incredible, hard working and very efficient. Our waitress was always busy her tables were representative of her pride in her craft. Now tables outside her station were a bit disheveled. Very young staff in General could use a little coaching in not "hanging out" Walls could you a coat of paint and install a practical chair rail..would go a long way. Yes we will return. Dillons just need to step back look at the big picture. The bill was $50.00 for two so attempting to be fair to others and Dillons. We were seated with the sharks always a winner for us
Always great! Food, service, and atmosphere is great! Amazing staff and managment
We sat by the aquarium and that was entertaining. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive.
We have been to all the Dillons restaurants and this one is the families favorite. There is something for everyone at the Zoo location from animals and fish to live bands on the weekends. This time of year is great to sit on the patio and eat with the flamingos.
Excellent place with great food and fair prices
Dining with a view... of fishes/sharks! Great place to eat after walking around the zoo. I found the prices to be very fair and the food tasty.
Beef brisket was very good, but sitting next to the shark tank was my favorite part. Fun to sit and watch them while having a meal.
BBQ and Aquarium...next door to Wildlife Zoo. Fun day and great food! All ages will love this!!!
Employees were very nice. And the food was good
Service and food was great.
My first 2 ribs were good and tender but lacking in sauce and flavor. Had potato salad and bbq beans, also blah. Took food home. Next day I tried to doctor it up. The last 4 ribs were burnt and so dry I couldn't chew them up enough to swallow them. So I threw it all out.
Great food and great staff
Delicious food. Large portions. Nice views while you eat
We had a great time at Dillons the service was absolutely fantastic and food was amazing. Our server Nicole was a complete delight super attentive and friendly and accomadated us. Sadly no did not get a chance to take pictures our the other meals due to our hunger. Please do visit and it is not overpriced.
Delicious food with great prices and service.
Good food. Good service. Fun to watch the flamingos while you eat!
Fun atmosphere. Food very good!
What made this place stand out for me personally. Well other than the fact that they are located by the zoo they have another cool touch. The best parking lot in the place is a reserved veteran parking spot. It is really cool that they did this. What a touch of gratitude!
Awesome place to go. They have indoor fish tanks and a huge wall of windows that overlook the flamingos. Good food and craft beer selections. Friendly service. Family friendly. One of our favorite spots.
Loved the brontosaurus ribs. Everyone really liked their food and service was good too
Very good food. The portions are very big so bring an appetite. The service was prompt and the waitress was attentive. We went early and beat the crowd. I recommend it.
The food was really good. Service was great and the people are really nice.
Great food, huge portions, military discount....great waitress Valerie.
Great food, service was tremendous, and sitting next to a huge tank full of sharks and stingrays, priceless. Will definitely be back. Fyi: best onion rings ever.
The food was great, and it was nice to watch the giant shark tank while we waited. Four stars because we waited a little while to be seated, even for a very late lunch and the service was good, but not great.
Amazing bbq. Service was great even though it was very busy our waitress took very good care of us.
Great customer service and great food
The food was way below average. The only cool thing was the shark tank.
Fun place with decent food. I love watching all the fish while enjoying my meal
They now have the Impossible burger! Oh, and the shark tank is cool too.
I met a group of ladies here for lunch and was delighted to be able to watch the sharks and other fish while we ate. The food was good but expensive for lunch. I had a cup of soup, half a sandwich and water. With the 20% tip, which was added to our bill, I paid a few cents short of $15.00. My favorite part of the meal was the onion rings shared by some of the others. Interesting experience but I doubt if I will return.
Not the best, but darn close. Absolutely love the beef brontosaurus ribs. Delicious and gigantic. Atmosphere is cool, especially sitting next to the shark tank. The location at the lake is awesome too. You sit right on the lake. Love this place
Food was okay. Service was extremely slow and lack. Music was great!
Not enough room to eat for big partys
I had a great time there, good food, fair price, great entertainment and friendly staffing members.
Service was great for the large group of people at the table
Food was good but smelling animals urine...not so good....i love the zoo...so i just won't combine next time.
Best part was the flamingo's. Food was very bland, brisket and turkey had absolutely no smoke flavor. Service was non existent and made us feel like we were putting her out. She also gave one of our guests only $3 back in change when she should have received $3.85. I know it's only 85 scents, but it wasn't her's to keep. Probably wouldn't make the trip back out there.
Great BBQ reasonably priced with fun aqariums with sharks and turtles. Fun place, good food.
I really enjoyed the ambiance and being able to sure right by the tank... All we had was appetizers but they were really good
Was hesitant, I mean, how good can a restaurant attached to a zoo be? So glad we stopped in instead of leaving and having to drive around to find another place. My husband like his pulled pork sandwich and I had the best club sandwich I've ever ordered!
Great atmosphere with very good service. Great food for a good price!
Ya got two stars because of your locations, not the food. Please dear baby Jesus help Dillions learn how a real brisket is bought, made, and served.
Food was outstanding and service was even better! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY
This place is absolutely amazing if you want good barbecue!!
Excellent brisket sandwich. Sitting by the shark tank is nice. Drinks with the flamingos on the patio next time.
Awsome wait staff, I love the entire menu. I go all the damn time. There is an indoor shark tank you can eat next to. There is a flamingo habitat you can eat by on the patio. The menu is so diverse. I can't wait to go again.
Friendly and a warm atmosphere
Disappointing!!! Not authentic BBQ at all. Ribs were dried out/over cooked... "Burnt ends" were just dried out chopped brisket with a ton of sauce.... No where near actual burnt ends. A lot of money for nothing...
Great atmosphere, love the sharks. Food is really good, fair prices, good service.
My waitress was very kind and attentive, but the food was not good. Got raw chicken in more than one strip, and undercooked potato. Other food wasn't very good either. I'm only giving two stars because the staff was great.
I love this place! Good eats while watching the sharks swim by.
Love the atmosphere and it back itself up to the tanks in the predators exhibit of the wildlife world zoo so you can watch the sharks and others In the tanks while you eat The foods really good and the service is amazing the only thing I wasnt a fan of was there barbeque sauces honestly
Restaurant does have really good food at reasonable prices. Place is clean, workers are professional and courteous, waitresses are knowledgeable about the menu, and definitely like the fish tank view. Their spinach artichoke dip is really tasty and the beef brisket sandwich is delicious.
Food is acceptable. Service and price are reasonable.
Great onion rings and other food. Never had a bad meal there.
Very delicious and filling. The restaurant itself was very playing and looks like they concentrate on getting out good food.
The food and the server were very good!
Atmosphere was interesting but not overbearing. We chose to sit on the shark side. Our waitress was a delight & kept the drinks full & very attentive. Fried pickle appetizer was good. Son ordered the 50/50 full rack of ribs & loved them. He doesn't care for spicy so he ordered the mild sauce & he said it still had a bit of a kick. I ordered the salmon salad w/the balsamic vinaigrette & it was delicious! Nice crust on the outside with tender meat on the inside. Yummmy!
So after much hype we finally tried this place. Was a disappointment. The food was no where near what we had heard of, to their defense the mac n cheese and beans were great! Had the beef ribs and full rack of baby back ribs, will not be back. Service was good and place was packed.....
Great food, great atmosphere and the drinks are very tasty! The ability to eat next to sharks or flamingos is really cool!
I wasn't impressed by the food. The atmosphere here is really cool though with the giant fish tank in the middle of the seating area. It's fun to watch the sharks swim around while you eat.
Overall, it was ok. Cool concept having it connect with the zoo. Price vs quantity of serving per meal I felt was fairly high. Had the beef brisket meal with 2 sides and taste was bland considering it is marketed as "KC style BBQ". Best part of my meal was the baked potato if that says anything. I gave 3 stars because is it a terrible meal?...no. Would I eat here again if I was walking around zoo all day and was hungry?...sure. Would I feel good dropping $70.00 including tip for 3 meals?...absolutely not. That's all I gotta say about that...
We chose to go here instead of choosing one of the cafeteria style options that were available. The menu is impressive with plenty of options and the food was great. It was very busy but the staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Food was alright, never had artichoke spinach dip that was that thick before. Went on a Saturday and was filled with too many loud children. Shark tank was cool but it only attracts unwatched children toward you, as they slap the aquarium glass and schreech
I had been wanting to try this location ever since I heard about it opening, today I was excited to finally get the chance. The onion rings were good but that is about all. The entrées and sides were disappointing without much flavor, I have tasted better from a frozen dinner. There smoothie was so sickly sweet it was like drinking raw sugar without any flavor but sweetness. The best thing was the small aquariums, and the large shark tank. Very pricey and not worth it for what you get. Will not be back.
Ordered the brontosaurus ribs (beef) with BBQ beans and veggies. The veggies were buttery and delicious. The beans had just a tad of spice and were pretty good (would have been even better with bits of brisket mixed in). The rack of ribs was monsterously big, the sauce was sweet and spicy (I usually prefer a lot spicier), and the meet was delicious. I ended up taking half home and eating it for lunch the following day; the meat tasted just as good chilled but the sauce was a bit sweeter. Overall, I was impresses at the bang for the buck (about $25 for my meal) and delighted to find such a wonderful meal to conclude the day at the wildlife park.
Delicious food! Fun atmosphere! And sharks swimming by as we ate! What more could you ask for?!
Ordered from the Gluten Friendly menu, had lots of choice so I went with the beef brisket with beans and a baked potato on the side. When my food arrived it had a bun on the plate, obviously they have no idea what gluten free means or the waitress didn’t think to write down when I told her that I have celiac disease. Was pretty upset to say the least. If a restaurant is gonna advertise that they have gluten free options they should at least put in the effort to actually confirm it.
Great bbq. Good customer service. Reasonable prices for the quality of food. Fun atmosphere.
Ordered brisket sandwich with fries, brisket was dry and chewy, bun was dried out. Fries cold and greasy. 15 minutes before my meal came I asked the waitress if I could change fries with mac and cheese, she said that could not be done. I'm sure my meal sat in the kitchen until it was cold. Very disappointed.
I absolutely love the food and the environment. This is one of the first places I bring my family when I visit. I usually just get the spinach & artichoke dip and pulled pork and don't change that up, but I think it's so good! Great BBQ place and extremely fun for the kids.
Food isnt very good, hot inside, lady at the door letting people in from the zoo seemed kind of rude
Great service and delicious food. Have been to the other Dillon's, but this one was neat because of the huge fish aquarium.
Good food. Watched the sharks swim in the tank along side.
Always delicious service was excellent!
We love eating with the fishes at this delicious and unique BBQ restaurant. Bonus points for their menu having great kid options.
Good Kansas City BBQ at this place with a twist. Aquarium entertainment for the kids. I have had many of the sandwiches here as well as the burgers. Since the burger only comes well done and you can't have it cooked as you like I tend to stick with the BBQ. Burnt ends are nicely done as well as their sliced brisket. The pulled pork is more of a Carolina style and its moist and flavorful. Potato salad side is also my pick along with the $3 onion rings which are the best value on the menu.
Average burger. Wasn't bad but wasn't great. Cooked was perfect but the flavor wasn't. Fries were under done. Service was average but the place was packed. Can't blame our service because of how crowded it was. Maybe understaffed? Who knows. Location was great. Inside the zoo. Has a giant shark tank and falmingos outside to look at. Overall it's a 4 but I'm giving it a 3 for the flavorless BBQ burger.
Fun place to have a bite 2 eat and have a few cocktails. Friday nite lots of fun with karaoke and new friends.
Amazing food 5 stars!!!! Really nice staff the manager goes to every single table to ask if the food was good and as you order it we are definitely coming back! 100% recommended.
Nasty tasting food. Got a burger with zn egg. It was fried so hard the it had no yoke. That is why you get the egg fir the runny yoke
OMG !! Absolutely Delicious food. And great to visit.
We came in from the zoo because my husband wanted real food and I am so glad we did. My dad loved the mac and cheese (he tried one that sounded like it might be as good elsewhere...he was so disappointed after having the amazing mac and cheese here that he left a note!). I loved my mango habenero boneless wings (the server was great in helping me figure out if they were hot or not...I like spicy but not omgspicy. The wings were perfect) and my drink- can't remember just what it was but it had non-alcoholic ginger beer in it. LOVED it! We loved watching the sharks swimming in the tank that made up one wall and loved how cleverly the mirrors made it look like there were more. We're not from the area but if we visit again we'll probably hit up a Dillon's KC BBQ
Food was excellent. Beef ribs were tasty and massive in portion: Enough to feed two or three people. Kansas City style ribs and sauce were worth the visit by themselves. Our waitress delivered excellent service. The shark tank with several shark subspecies and manta rays make this a unique night out. Highly recommended!
Half chicken and sweet heat bbq sauce was delicious. Onion rings were awesome like most reviews said. Service was average, they try.
So the server said they automatically add the tip. These are the hardest, nastiest, chewy most over priced ribs I have tried to swallow ! The knife would not even cut through the over cooked ribs. I am never coming back, Horrible experience! Also while my family and I were waiting to be seated there was an angry customer asking for the manager, then after that was "settled" the manager came and told the ladies in the front that the costumer was upset because the server laughed at costumer.
The lunch we had enjoyed in the dining room with the huge shark aquarium was pretty phenomenal.And the food we all ordered was perfect too. Definitely have to recommend.
Great food. Great service. Amazing atmosphere
Very good KC style barbecue and a great setting. Dine inside with the sharks or outside with the flamingos. Definitely a fun and unique dining experience. Prices are in line with a normal causal restraint and are not going to brak the bank. Portion sizes are just right so add to be filling without being way too much. Their burnt ends are on point! (Pun intended) I was impressed with the quality and very glad to find a place that does them right. Their sauces are delicious as well with Sweet Heat being my favorite. It is a solid medium heat with a "slow burn" that creeps up versus being in your face about it.
I got the ancho burger and there was nothing ancho about it. I also got the nachos for appetizer and that was good. Waitress was good but other than that, not worth it.
Good service and great BBQ. Cool ambiance with the aquariums. Our hostess seated us next to the shark tank, which was very cool. An unique experience for Phoenicians.
Great food!! Way better than the park has to offer! And free refills (coke) unlike the park places!! Fish tacos were light and tasty!
