Best Food Choices at Local Attractions?

Well, it's summer so maybe a thread about the best dining choices at local attractions would be topical.

Several posters mentioned the Rib Place at Sea World as the best place to eat there. I haven't been for several years but I remember them as being pretty good for food at a theme park.

I saw a show at Cricket Amphitheater the others day and the feeling of the employees I spoke to was that the Tri-tip from the Hunter Steakhouse booth on the east side is the best thing there. (BTW, I ate at the buffet line in the "VIP Lounge" and it was gross.

So how about it, any suggestions for the best food at the Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Legoland, etc

    Legoland's BBQ place (Knight's Table) is probably the most palatable choice there as well.

    The Zoo has Albert's (which is pretty upscale for a theme park), but none of the less expensive options stand out. In fact, the most satisfying meal I've had there was unplanned. The "crowd" decided to simply order at the burger stand near the children's zoo (Poppy's patio), and damned if I didn't get the best cooked burger that I've remembered having at a theme park. The fries were perfect, too. Entirely random, probably just got lucky with the staff that day. but still it was noteworthy.

    I've not had good luck at all at the Zoo Safari Park (what is this Wild Animal Park that you mention? :) ). I suspect it is because they are in the middle of nowhere and you are a captive audience. The fudge at the Mombosa Island place is pretty good.
