Dillon's at the Zoo Reviews List

Dillon's at the Zoo

The concept of Dillon's began in 1998 when Co-Owner George Valverde approached Rich Dillon with a partnership designed to bring Valverde's vision to reality, producing 5 locations. The first restaurant, Dillon’s Thunderbird, opened in 1999 followed by Dillon’s Arrowhead in 2005. In the past three years we have added Dillon's @ Scorpion Bay in September 2009, Dillon's Top of Central in July 2010, and Dillon's at the World Wildlife Zoo in November 2011. Dillon’s Gone Wild, at the World Wildlife Zoo is our new exciting destination with a 60,000 Gallon Shark Tank in the Main Dining Room. At the Bar, be accompanied by an Albino Alligator while you enjoy a cold beverage or step out onto the Patio with the Flamingos. Dillon's wouldn’t be successful without its amazing employees who are a huge part of our lives. We are very grateful for their loyalty, some have been with us since 1999! Dillon’s Continued Commitment is Keeping our Food and Service at the Highest Possible Standards.

"Dillon's at the Wildlife World Zoo is just GREAT! Took my Mother there for her 93rd birthday along with 10 members of our family, 7 of which were from out of state. Everyone had a great time, excellent food, and the aquarium was spectacular. The mirrors that surround the outside walls pick up the aquarium so well that you feel like you are totally surrounded by the aquarium. Our waitress was amazing, going above and beyond all expectations to make our meal the party it was. I was particularly pleased to be able to reserve a table especially since it was for Easter Sunday. Reserving online was easy and uncomplicated. Really great experience."
