Dillon's KC BBQ at Wildlife World Zoo - Litchfield Park, Arizona

Janelle

Dillon’s coming back strong and for us today the experience was wonderful. I’ve been taking my kids here for well over a decade and my now grown kids still talk about the aquarium views while they ate. We haven’t been in so many years so we decided to stop by today with my teens after a few hours at the zoo. Service was friendly and we were seated within minutes on the patio. The menu had so many good options that it took us a minute to decide. We settled on there’s combo with coleslaw, Mac and cheese and a side of baked beans. We also ordered chicken tenders, fries and a bowl of the southwestern stew. Everything came out pretty quick and looked amazing! The ribs were falling off the bone, the pulled pork was to die for and with the Cajun bbq sauce …yum! The brisket was equally as good, but if I chose a favorite of the three mine would be the pork. All of the sides were good although the beans were too sweet for me so I probably wouldn’t order them again. The hit for is by far was the stew. It had a perfect kick! I could see eating that as a main meal with salad etc. with the large pieces of meat and all the flavor it was so satisfying on this little chilly of a day . It reminded me of a cozy dinner on a cold day at home. SO GOOD! The kids chicken tender meals came with 7/8 pieces and they had to take some home. They’re picky with their tenders so hearing them say they were good was great. Our server was wonderful, answered all of our questions and was patient with us while we tried to decide what to order. The view was awesome with the flamingos nearby. We’re already talking about going back.

Great restaurant to eat at while at the Wildlife World Zoo, and with a gigantic aquarium inside. I had no idea how much fun it is to eat BBQ while watching giant sharks and other aquatic wildlife swim around in a giant tank. But turns out, it’s pretty great.

Service can take a while, but the wait is more than made up for by the absolutely massive aquarium in the middle of the restaurant. Somehow, the barbecue just tastes better!

This restaurant has great atmosphere and a huge center aquarium. It is family friendly and wheelchair friendly. Prices could be preciecived as a little high, but it's character and food is real good.

Nice place with several nifty seating options , we. Hoose to air out on the porch with the flamingos. The meals with sides are pretty magical. Baby back ribs were pretty magical, they refilled the drinks automatically which was nice. Very filling platers. Coleslaw was the only meh 😑

Eat next to a shark tank?! We’re in! This was a great experience for our family. The food was also great. I really enjoyed my chicken tenders and my husband got BBQ! It was also so convenient after spending time at the zoo that we didn’t have to drive somewhere else to dinner with our toddler and newborn. You also do not have to pay for the zoo to enter the restaurant.

Delicious food and great service! Plus, you get to eat next to either a shark tank or some flamingos!
