    Gyro Wrap
    Trish V.

    I expected for them to have the falafel salad/sandwich based on the photos posted up online, but those must be outdated because they didn't have it on the menu when I went. Regretfully, I forgot to take a picture of the current menu to post. Anyway, since they didn't have the falafel I ordered a gyro wrap which came with a side of waffle fries. The order took a bit of a time to come out even though it seemed that there was only a couple of customers ahead of us, about 10-15 minutes of wait. I was quite pleased with the food tho, inside of a pita bread was the gyro meat, arugula, cucumber, and tzatziki sauce. The pita was soft and chewy, portioning was fine although it needed a lot more of the tzatziki sauce, but I was so hungry by the time I got to eat so everything was satisfying nonetheless, esp the fries they were pretty tasty. Ultimately, Reggie's was a good choice, & it was nice to have a healthy-ish option to eat at the zoo.

    Menu as of 6/2023

    Solid four stars considering this is the LA Zoo so expectations were set accordingly. I like that this place makes your food to order and there is a pretty good selection if things to choose from. I'm not sure how often they change their menu as some of the photos on Yelp are not options anymore. It took about 15-20 min for our food to be ready so might not be the best option if you have hungry kiddos. My fiancé enjoyed his Reggie Burger but wished he had gotten my Reggie's hot chicken sandwich (which was basically two chicken tenders with some spicy seasoning on it, but not Nashville hot). I liked the ingredients in my seasonal side salad but wished I got his fries because they were satisfying (the kind that are slightly crisp). Glad there is this place at the zoo!

    Falafel burger and small salad
    Kim K.

    November 4. 2021 I am impressed! My sister and i both ordered the falafel burger. She opted for fries and i had a side salad. The falafel was crisp and flavorful. It could have had more yogurt dip, so definitely ask for extra. Fries were basic so I'm glad i got the salad. The Caesar dressing was AMAZING! OMG.. I'm going to go back just for that! The staff was super friendly! The cashier, i think his name was DaShawn, was so nice! Polite and friendly. What an asset. When not taking orders he was emptying trash cans and cleaning... all with a smile! Food came out pretty fast. There's a good amount of tables and chairs. Hand sanitizer beat front entrance, Although I would like to see sanitizer at cash register. Tables were clean. Restrooms were just next door. Prices are a little on the higher side, but it is expected at a touristy spot. We enjoyed our meal and would eat here again.

    Grilled chicken naan bread wrap with hummus and yogurt sauce. With a side salad
    Tiffany W.

    This place is delicious! I got the chicken naan bread wrap with hummus and yogurt sauce with a side salad. Very fresh ingredients! Not that expensive either!! I want to come here every time I go to the zoo!

    Beef Short Ribs and Mac & Cheese. Meh
    Ronald M.

    This rating is only for today's order of Beef Short Ribs and Mac & Cheese. I should have ordered a burger! After my recent review of Crossroads West Cafe, just across the street from the zoo's parking lot, and stressing how it was a "must" for our zoo buddy get togethers. After walking the zoo grounds for several hours, we were content with Reggie's Bistro right in the zoo's front plaza area. And my buddy was treating; making that a belated retirement lunch #5! But as I stated before, I should have ordered a burger. Instead, I went with the Beef Short Ribs and Mac & Cheese. A shredded beef dish mixed with pasta that wasn't a very good simulation of Mac & Cheese. Oh it was filling, so much so that I didn't even want to think about dinner hours later. I wouldn't order it again. And all I could think about the entire meal was "I should have ordered a burger" as my buddy contentedly chowed down on his. But the outdoor patio is nice for people watching and viewing this cafe's namesake, Reggie the Alligator, the world famous elusive alligator that roamed Harbor City's Machado Lake from 2005-2007. And finally successfully captured by LA Zoo reptile experts.

    Tuna wrap. Delicious!
    Brian H.

    To our surprise the food is delicious. I got the tuna wrap with a salad. It's was really good and fresh. My wife got a burger. It was huge. She loved it and complimented on the bun. Our boys got spicy chicken wings and chicken strips with chips and fries. They really enjoyed their food. We will eat here again when we visit the zoo.

    Very good Cesar salad with tuna
    Jennifer D.

    This is a restaurant in the LA Zoo. They serve some alcohol here for those of you that like to drink. This bistro has pasta, sandwich, and salad selections. The outside dining area is nice and clean. I had a salad with tuna on top. It was well made.

    Nice outdoor seating. No tops or straws used in order to protect the animals.
    Yadhira L.

    I come here for the cous cous shrimp salad and to people watch. This is the only decent restaurant at the Zoo. Since I work across the street, I see the Zoo staff at the museum cafe often and I can see why. While members get a discount here, it is a bit pricy for the average family. Plus, there are no lids or straws for the safety of the animals. It's a great place to sit and relax in their outdoor patio. However the food will not disappoint. I've gone with several people and they have all been happy with their hamburgers and fries. They also serve Starbucks coffee but don't open until well after 10am so I can't run across early in the morning for my coffee fix. They also use biodegradable to-go boxes and cups. It's a good place if you want something good, natural, healthy, and tasty but not if you are on a budget.

    Wife got the mini hot dogs!

    This was also on my list of places I've been wanting to try because they released Jollibeer, a beer…read moreflavored like Jollibee's Peach Mango Pie. It was actually a collaboration with three Filipino breweries in LA. We really enjoyed the beer here and ended up doing three rounds. Of course we had the Jollibeer, which is a Peach Mango Lager. Their ube-flavored drinks are also really good, so we tried the Ube Macapuno Porter. Their calamansi drinks are amazing too, so we had Lola's Wit, a Belgian Wit with calamansi and coriander. They also have some interesting Japanese beers like Yasuke, a Matcha Black Lager, and Kanpai Krush, a Sushi Rice Lager. I'll definitely be back for more of their great tasting beer. As a bonus, they also have disc golf. One of the employees was really cool and even let us take some discs home.

I do appreciate the know-how of the bartender/brewer in their knowledge of the beer they brew here as well. The ambiance is cohesive and family safe. There are plenty of folks from the movie industry kicking back at this place, a trivia night, families hanging out; the vibe is chill here. A Food truck is generally always around. The one downside is their parking situation isn't super big. Their location is basically in a large garage warehouse, but it's very well put together. The expanded available parking in just nearby under the overpass which could use some lighting but it's only a few yards away from the friendly-establishment. I'll never say no to this place to visit a friend for a solid pint of beer. Good stuff Brewyard!

There are plenty of TV's and a variety of seating area options with both high chairs and low comfy couches and fun little corners with heaters to hang out in. There's a nice selection of English and Spanish 80s and 90s music playing in the background and a fantastic relaxed vibe with a great selection of vintage decor and memorabilia all over the hangar building. We sat in the small upstairs area with cozy seating, a large TV and a balcony view of everything and everyone below, including views of the back area with the beertanks. The second level is stairs access only. They are both kid and pet friendly throughout the entire space. There's a small patio area with access only through the front and located to the side of the hangar (i didn't see any heaters tho). There are 3 co-ed restrooms which are only located on the bottom floor near the entrance. I'm not sure if parking gets difficult, but we got lucky with street parking right in front. Something to point out... Although we stayed for an entire football game, we didn't really encounter too many employees during our visit (so not sure if they were short staffed or they don't really go upstairs). We didn't feel comfortable leaving our glasses and trash from the foodtruck and with consideration to others, we bussed our own table/space before leaving. The only interaction with staff was when ordering the beer at the front counter and they were polite. Something to keep in mind... dress warm or according to the weather. The building is an open hangar and although they have space heaters throughout, it got a bit cold when we were there (January)... they eventually closed part of the entrance door, so i guess they felt it too lol! I'm sure it's the opposite during summer, so I guess I'll find out then. Overall, visually pleasing, great use of space and vintage decor, cozy and relaxed vibes. I'll definitely visit again and will be adding to the list of favorites. Fun times!
