My favorite part of the park. You can see animals from here. You can relax and have food and drinks. Also, thel best roller coaster is located directly across from the Overlook.

We had the mango beer and it was like the best beer I've ever had! 😋. The view is absolutely beautiful. You can see the animals and it's such a stunning view 😍. I highly recommend it. Beer is kinda pricey but the view is worth it. Comes with the theme park standard I guess.

Delicious fresh pizza, nice seating inside and outside, a very nice place. I also got the sparkling Madagascar Mojito which was immaculate and Delicious. Highly recommend. One of the best places for food in Busch Gardens.

Candy 🍬 straws! Chomp chomp chomp. You can stare at a giraffe 🦒 and suck down booze with a candy straw. What is not to love?? Looked inside of Busch Gardens, across from the Cheetah Hunt roller coaster and has a lovely view of the serengeti. They also offer food and non-alcoholic bevs. The top floor is a pass holders lounge, which offers an even better view of the serengeti and a different menu.

Excellent establishment for the whole family when dining. Kids loved the variety on the menu. Specials at the bar for adult drinks were a plus. Yet the view made the moments even more amazing. Definitely returning every time we visit the park.

The service was a complete mess. The menu stated that a pizza with fries costed 10 dollars, but they charged 15 for pizza plus 6 for fries. Also, a cup of tap water was charged 5,49. To make matters worse, a 5% "surcharge" was charged just because. When I asked the cashier, he said that it was right, so I ended up paying 30 for an expected 10 dollars check. The food was totally not worth the price and I 100% do not recommend eating there. The meal's main seasoning was regret.

This is a newly renovated bar with wrap around style seating. You can also snag a table outside and see amazing views of the fireworks they do selected nights and the giraffes. It's a must see if you're eating and drinking at Busch Gardens. The seasonal cocktails were batched but really tasty.

Let's keep it simple today. Flatbreads were good. Waffle fries were seasoned and ok. Beer selection was very nice. Prices? wow. I know it's a theme park, so we weren't looking for Michelin Star cuisine. But we also weren't looking to pay Michelin Star prices for it. 2 flatbreads, waffle fries and 2 beers was around $70. One beer alone is $12 I understand operating to make a profit; but this blew me away. Nice view to watch the Giraffe's while eating.

Food not so great. Lines very slow. High price for beer, it is a theme park tho. They do have a good selection. The pizza was not so great but hit the spot when I was hungry. I'd say the main concern is the speed of the lines. The view of the serengeti from the inside is cool though

The food was absolutely horrible! The prices were horrible, the food was even worse! We ordered 2 meatball sandwiches and stood there for 45 minutes! Finally, after adding twice where our sandwiches were, they came out! The bread was tough, and the meatballs were dry. The pizzas were terrible as well. Do not recommend it.

Mediocre food for the price of fine dining. I should have just ordered a beer, but I was glad they at least had some greens and vegetables.

Slow service, staff not really intersted, long queues and only half the serving area open during the busiest time of the day. Need to do better. Having said all of this, the view was lovely and we enjoyed out company.

Nice place to stop for some cold air conditioning and a drink and some food! It's right across from my favorite ride, The Cheetah Hunt which is so awesome. My boys loved the pizza and they have a full bar and seating inside or you can go outside and sit at tables with umbrellas and watch the big roller coasters fly by or just see amazing views of the park! Free ice water and restrooms and very clean and well maintained. I loved it!!

Quite nice pub with some basic drinks and food. The best about the place is definitely the view. The prices are quite high, the service could be better, they seem to be quite bored as we experienced. All in all one v of the better options there.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Made strawberry lemonade for my daughter who was THRILLED. Lovely to sit and watch animals roam. Needs hot tea though

Excellent view of the Serengeti Plain feeding station....the Train track runs right by here.. ..bring your camera for some great pictures ! !

I must admit that I was disappointed when the crown colony restaurant and buffet were discontinued. However this little bar and restaurant are impressive. They seem to offer food and drinks not found in other parts of the park. Plus a nice quiet comfortable and scenic dining area to enjoy them. It certainly very easy to spend $$ here, lol

Unfortunately, when we went, they were renovating the restaurant. However, they kept the upstairs seating open and served a very minimal menu with cheese pizza and a couple other options. 4 pizzas ended up costing us about $60, they were just OK, some were cooked more than others. There was a QR Code on the table that you ordered from. A staff person came over and delivered the food. The reasons to eat there would simply be because of the air conditioning on a hot day, which was awesome, and the view of the roller coasters was pretty cool as well. It gave you something to look at.

We enjoyed a marinated pork and other item loaded nachos. It was delicious. The view was nice. We watched pelicans in a pond and giraffes moving nearby. I believe we may have seen some wildebeest.

Beautiful views of Busch Gardens animals and rides from the overlook pub. FYI - This restaurant is inside the park so park entry is required. Friendly bartenders, they make some great tasting drinks, even straws are edible! Only a couple of food options at the bar but the pulled pork (?) Mac and cheese was delicious, so was my Sunrise drink. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was nice to take a beach and relax.

The pizza is good, but the line is forever. It took me about 40min to get a pepperoni pizza and drink. One guy trying to do everything including getting everyone drinks and the 2 cashiers are there mostly waiting for something to do

Stopped by here to find some food and cool drinks. Disappointed at first by the Ala Carte pizza bar but then we found the bar and Carlos exceeded our expectations. The view of the safari and wild animals outside right near our table absolutely sealed the experience!

Enjoyable atmosphere, the food was satisfying for casual dining. Sit inside or outside where you could view the giraffes and other animals for free. Pizza was good, the fresh fruit was better.

Mac and Cheese 10/20. Rare place to get air-conditioned meal in the park. Drinks were good but very pricey. Pretzel us good but more of a bread stick. Decent size but don't expect it to fill you up.

We visited as a group and enjoyed an IPA based beer flight. It was delicious! The price is a little high but hey I get it. We tried the pepperoni pizza and I was beyond shocked with how yummy it actually was. Not going to lie I expected it to suck and it was pretty tasty. Note: The draft beers vary between restaurants. The BBQ restuarant offered draught Jai Alai but the Overlook Pub did not.

I brought my girlfriend here for celebratory drink. We had two drinks they were doubles, the bill came out to about $42 including the tip and I tip well. So that kind of bummed me out but besides that, it was a good strong drink flavor was amazing. The atmosphere was very light and airy. Everything seemed very clean and was being cleaned continuously while we were there. To be able to look out over everything was really beautiful. And the bartender let me tell you something the bartender was the sweetest woman we'd come across that whole day she was a gem. She made spending $40 for two drinks not so bad so you better hang on to her!! She's in the background but unfortunately we can't remember her name. Sorry about that.

I've yet to eat here but the bartenders are super friendly and know their stuff. They'll let you sample the tap beers so you can find the perfect one for you! Definitely worth stopping in.

I’ve been living in the Tampa area for over 10 years now. Have had season passes to a few theme parks over the years including Busch gardens. I have never been denied a cup of water until today. Annie at the giraffe bar refused to give me a cup of water saying she only has bottled water and that it’s policy meanwhile the bartender next to her is pouring a cup of water for his guest. When I asked Annie she had a smug look on her face and just shrugged her shoulders proceeding to charge me $5.00 for a bottle of water. Now, if we just walked up for a cup of water fine but we didn’t, my husband wanted a $13.00 beer and not the first time! This didn’t sit well with me being forced to pay for a bottle of water when there were plenty of people with cups of tap water. I was feeling dizzy and my heart rate was 160. I went to Guest services and they informed me that this is NOT policy and Annie should have given me a cup of water. They gave me Busch bucks in return which was nice but couldn’t use it where we went to lunch go figure. We returned for another drink and another bartender gave the lady in front of us 4 glasses of water with no issues. My recommendation stay away from Annie at the giraffe bar.

I love the new Giraffe Bar, with the Giraffe shaped pretzel, that comes with cheese dip. The views off of the back balcony are serene and pretty. We watched them feed the giraffes. They have pizza here too and I bought a new refillable souvenir cup.

Very beautiful building looking out on all the African animals. The only thing, I wish they had a larger variety. They only had pizza, strawberries and carrots while we were there.
