Base Camp Café at the Cincinnati Zoo is a hidden gem for a quick bite! 😊 The outdoor patio offers a lovely atmosphere, and I found the service fast - even with a line out the door.

I indulged in a huge chicken sandwich, which was deliciously juicy and paired perfectly with thick, crispy fries that were a dream! 🍟 The pepperoni pizza was a standout too, loaded with gooey cheese and perfect for sharing.

My only hiccup was the sauce dispensers being empty - but that’s minor. Overall, it’s a great spot for lunch, especially when enjoying the zoo. Don't forget to bring some ketchup! 😂
