Great place to eat for breakfast, lunch or supper if you don’t feel like cooking or just lazy to do so, but hey your on vacation and your definitely allowed to be and I took advantage of that with a few of our meals lol. Also it’s a nice place to just get out from under the hot sun to enjoy some ice cream and cool off in the fully air conditioned facility after a hike. The Café was clean, modern and the food was great along with the wonderful staff, the lady with the purple hair “excuse me for forgetting her name because I was hung over a bit” was fantastic and so friendly. They also sell essentials that you maybe have forgotten for camping like bug spray etc.

The Cretaceous Cafe is very nice, the food looked good, but we only ever ordered the Chapman's Ice Cream, it was very delicious! Big servings!

My partner and I promptly finished our wraps (chicken Caesar and veggie) and are desperately trying to talk ourselves out of going back for seconds. The hummus and veggie wrap did not come with falafels, but they offered to add them free of charge without me even asking. Both wraps were amazing and the staff were lovely.

Great little stop for food option in Dinosaur. However- PLEASE hire a 2nd cook for the breakfast rush! That poor woman did her best, but was exhausted and clearly overworked!

Newley renovated and it’s awesome. The kitchen is quality, and all the food they made was really good. Definitely a must for this location because it can get crazy hot. Ice Cream too!
