Restaurantosaurus

Burgers and fries! That counts as meat and potatoes, right? Unlike its name, Restaurantosaurus is NOT adventurous eating, but it’s kid friendly menu and neat dinosaur theming make it a wonderful addition to DinoLand USA! There are not many restaurants in DinoLand USA so it’s nice to finally have a place to sit down–and don’t forget about the toppings bar!

What to Expect

Disney explains the theming as “pre-hysteric.” The story goes that a group of paleontology students turned their dorm and labs into a restaurant. There is outdoor seating but also themed rooms inside.

While the rooms look a bit different, each is decorated with dinosaur bones or other prehistoric decor. The star of this show is the clever humor–or not so clever humor. The jokes are of the pun variety, and while the jokes are written by the paleontology students, you could call them dad jokes. Hey, I like the sound of that!

If the heat has got you down, don’t throw a fit like Donald Duck, head to Restaurantosaurus! Inside, there is quite a bit of seating, making it a nice place to cool off during a busy park day.
