Tip: The line is often shorter than at other spots in the park, making it a decent option if you're looking for a quick bite.

Best place
Very Good!
Todo delicioso
Bien bueno
It was awesome! Everyone was really friendly and the price was really good considering how expensive everything else is in the park. I got a burger and fries for $8.50 and they were fresh too!
Always go here when I go to great America. It isn't the best food ever, but it's always fast, reliable and tastes good. It has milkshakes, burgres, chicken tenders, fries, basically everything you would expect from a fast food restaurant. Really good place to stop for lunch if you're looking for food at great America
The food was really good. I had the hot dog and fries and finished off the wifes cheeseburger it was really good also. First time here at Great America and loving it. Relaxing in the cabana.
It was so good! Food was fresh, delicious and way less cash than other places in the park. The place is 50s style so anyone who likes grease will super enjoy this one.
I love this place, because the service is very good and the food is delicious, fast and fresh
Nice sit down place at Great America. Not near the selection Sierra Creek has (which is a short walk away) but good for a burger or corndog.
Great fries, juicy burger. Staff were friendly and helpful with scavenger hunt.
Amazing food, and its all inside Great America. Nice burgers, and chicken strips.
Good food.. slow service but great food worth the wait sometimes lol
Great choices at great prices. I would recomend you try this cafe!
The best place to come eat and use our season dine in pass!
I loved everything well, an excellent service ❤️
Got quinoa (veggie) burgers with fries for $17/each. Totally hit the spot! Decent enough for amusement park food 😆 Hot and fresh and generous portion of fries. The girls working there were friendly and kept everything cleaned up and replenished. Cute 50’s diner vibe.
I really like this cafe; it is the best one in the Bay Area. The food is delicious, and the service is great. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the outdoor seating is perfect for people-watching. I would definitely recommend this place to any who love a great dining experience.

Good food
Cool
Best fries, but recent changes to order your food is not very efficient and take very long.
Fries are fresh sliced, but not super crispy. Service was slow the last couple times.
For the price of the chicken fingers and fries you get a lot and they are tasty.
Pros: it is not in front of any particular ride, so the line is often shorter than in other spots. The food is decent (chicken tenders were ok, fries a little cold). Folks working there were nice and helpful to use the food/drinks pass when it was not working. Cons: unnecessary long wait in line to wait for the food to come out, though line was short

Great french fries, and chicken strips, the burgers would be great but the buns are the biggest part of the burgers... Side salads are good also, shake machine is always broken though so i don't how good the shakes are... as always buy the food option on your gold pass and you get two free meals a day...

I miss their hickory burger where there is bacon. Now there is only cheese burger or regular burger, chicken tender, and veggie burger. The cheese burger is decent though Services is usually slow.
Very disappointing experience at American Cafe. We ordered food for our toddler through the QR code system, which clearly stated a 15 minute wait time. After more than 25 minutes, we noticed people who arrived after us were already receiving their food. When I asked the cashier, Charisma, to please check our order number because something clearly seemed wrong, she refused and simply told us to keep waiting. After another 10 minutes, a supervisor finally checked and confirmed the order had an issue and was apparently not linked to our table. Poor customer service and lack of staff training made this a frustrating experience.
Way overpriced. I got a small serving of chicken tenders for 16 bucks and they sold bottled water for 425.
Long wait times to order food. Poor quality extremely overpriced food.
Food was average. At peak times, wait was abhorrent. Service was okay, nothing special.
If your hungry in the park well your stuck with park food. The burger was good and chicken. With fries well hmm more of a box filler of a waste of money. 17 bucks for a meal w no drink. With season pass we were fortunate that each card holder got a 35 dollar food credit due to the COVID and entire year park was close in 2020.
Great atmosphere which is disproportional to the quality of the food. Got a pretty terrible $8 sub-par milkshake, even by amusement park standards that was 40% sad whipped cream, 30% chocolate syrup.
Chicken tenders are hot but kind of dry. Fries are hot and fried to perfection but the ranch is chunky. This cafe would get another star if they had more to offer. Seems like GA is not serving milkshakes so they have less to maintain. Over all this place makes me feel like I am in a low budget movie where they don’t pay the extras. The longer I think about it I keep wanting to deduct stars. Whoa.. down to one but I will add an extra since the staff was courteous. So two ⭐️ ⭐️ it is.

The menu on the Great America App is much larger than your choice there. Overpriced! $15-$18 for just fries and a hot dog/ burger/chicken strips. Very long wait for a very short line. They opened the second line but they were not ready, we stood and waited another 15 minutes and the cashier kept asking if we had ordered. Very disorganized. I won't be going there again when I visit the park, I was very disappointed.

Fries over cooked chicken tenders dry, no ketchup in the dispenser
Terrible place. Filthy and overpriced. DO NOT GO!!!
Food wasn't good long wait
Ok fries and dried out chicken tenders!
Bad service, bad food
shitty and long wait like why
Very bad place. The workers had an attitude and the food was nasty and very expensive. The place in general was very unsanitary and dirty. I would NEVER recommend someone to come here.
Despite saying “SHAKES” in all capitals on six different spots on the outside of the building, they do not sell milkshakes
Food is disgusting and they forget to process the order.
Schlechtestes "Restaurant" in dem ich war. Der Burgerbelag lag neben dem Burger. Außerdem bestellte ich ein Getränk und erfuhr im Nachhinein dass es mehr kostete als auf der Karte stand, weil die Karte noch nicht aktualisiert wurde. Das ist ein Unding. So geht man nicht mit Kunden um.
Super hot, long disorganized wait time. Outrageous prices even for a theme park. $12 for frozen burger patty and greasy fries. $3 for water.
Absolutely horroble...food was overcooked and dry. No one knew what was going on very disorganized..out of mayo and ketchup...and this is a burger joint!!!
I waited in line and turns out that you have to order from a table and when i ordered my food it took 50 minutes just for it to get here👎
Overpriced, mediocre, and took forever to come out. Just go eat outside the park, this isnt worth it
Stale corndog, stale nachos. Just gross. Btw it's expensive and that had nothing to do with how bad the food quality is. They could try a little harder for what it costs.
Zero stars waaaaaaaay to expensive and no good flavor used lots and lots of ketchup and only the ketchup taste good i gave it 1 star only because it didn't give me a choice
Over priced for a simple hamburger and BURNT fries
Gave a 1 star only because food was good, however waiting in line to pay for 30 minutes with your food in your hands getting cold was ridiculous! There were problems with 2 customers at the cash register. They should of opened another register and taken care of the 20 customer's waiting with food in hand. I almost said, I can't wait any longer and was about to throw my food behind the counter. It was ridiculous... and no apologies as to the delay.
We ordered some fries as a snack to tie us down. I didn’t think it was possible to mess up such a simple order but somehow they surprised me. The fries were straight up black and tasteless and the ones that did have some sort of taste were definitely rotted. There was also no service, only mobile order.

Lowk buns. Only the strawberry cake was good. Everything else was kinda bad and not worth the price at all
This place is not organize to get the food out to the customers. There is just a cashier taking your order and another person handing out food one by one. If there was a food ticket method maybe it would be alot more efficient. People were just having their hands out taking their food one dish at a time. It was easy for people from out of line to say hey I ordered a burger and take what was meant for the person ahead of them.
waitress kept forgetting to bring items. they didnt mention they were out of sprite and randomly substituted it with water without telling us. they kept forgetting the tomatoe and lettuce for the burger also. waitress said she would come back with it and never did.
Wouldn’t waste your time and especially your money. This restaurant definitely isn’t worth $19.00 a meal! Food was not good at all. Burgers had no flavor, fries sucked and the milk shakes weren’t any better! $120 for four people and it was terrible
Don’t eat here!!! I waited for my cheeseburger combo for over 30 minutes. I stand up to talk to the cashier - black guy (3x) before I got my order. Worst customer service ever!!! The black guy (cashier) didn’t even apologized at all!
This place is so BUNS. Me and my hg have been waiting for like a hour and it STILL hasnt come out. I'm not a cook but come on how long does it take to make a milkshake, cheese fries, and a strawberry shortcake 😔 . It's also stupidly expensive. Ts place was the worse part of our great America trip 👎👎👎👎👎
Overpriced We paid $65 for 3 cheese burgers and some rotten fries.hey We paid for our food we didn't get it for free. The lettuce 🥬 that comes with the order had some dark stains all over. Same problem with fries. Cashier should learn how to treat customer and stop being racist..
More workers and faster service and a please help with supervision from an adult that knows what is going on no Coordination, no supervision, not enough food. They see that there is 20 people in line. They make me to make 10 burgers. They need to do 10 chicken nuggets, chantin hot dogs. People were picking up food and then putting it back. People were grabbing food cutting in line and not paying for it. Waited over an hour just for a hamburger cheeseburger
This place appears to be set up as a self serve line, but the kitchen doesn't keep up with the flow of people going through. So when it's lunch time there is no food out for people to take until they get up to the cashier but then they put food out so the people who have ordered at the cashier have to wait even longer for their food and then people try to line jump because they got food out of the self serve line and just want to pay for it before people in front of them have even ordered. The people working the kitchen were absolutely clueless about how their process is supposed to work and kept serving people at the back of the line instead of catching up with people who had ordered and paid and were still waiting for food. Finally we got some of the food we ordered and it was an ice cold bloody cheeseburger. GROSS. By that time we had waited so long it was a hard choice between getting food poisoning and waiting even longer to get safe food while people in line continued to take the freshly made food they were still trying to stock the self serve line with. I had to stand at the cashier and constantly remind the person who was handing out the food as it came from the kitchen that yes I did want cheese on my cheeseburgers and no I still haven't received my complete order. I will never eat here again. It was a complete annoyance and waste of time not to mention a health hazard. I am sad there is such incompetence at such a busy place. Although to be fair it was not busy, the incompetent staff just could not handle the whole 10 people that were in line.
Wow! You only have the option to order off your phone and are given a specific wait time. For frozen meals and cafeteria style food that should only take putting in a microwave and (for any idiot) not more than 10 minutes to prepare, I thought 23 minutes was a little steep to wait. Luckily, they were an hour and a half backed up and the food is probably mid. Still waiting as I type this out, having ordered two items chili fries & chicken tenders a while ago, and I probably should just leave but their prices have already made me waste my money. And time. And money. Not even nobu makes you wait an hour for two items. And I've been. If you like food that takes just about as long to come out as it takes to digest it, please come here.
You can tell that the food is fake, the milkshakes were probably made with “milk” and some sort of powder. Milkshake came without cherry or whipped cream. Overpriced too but that’s expected at a theme park. Good atmosphere however
