What JoAnna S likes about Explorer's Café:
The person who took our order was nice and great at taking our orders. He was professional and patient. The food was okay but they don't give straws or lids for your drinks. They want to make money by saying you get a lid and straw with their Souvenir cup. I was in the bathroom and a woman took her cup in with her. It toppled over and spilled Coke all over my new shoes so that was fun. How do they expect the rest of... View all feedback.

What Kassy Killey doesn't like about Explorer's Café:
Gluten free beware. I was given a gluten bun even after asking multiple times and the staff couldn't answer my questions if the fries are cooked in the same oil as other gluten items. The gluten free bun comes in a plastic bag like at Culver's.Dietary restrictions: They don't understand gluten free needs and don't make it easy to know which foods are safe and even when they know you want gluten free will still give y...

The worst service and food. They really need to rethink their customer service.

"This was our first time here, from the Midwest. We loved it. We had the chicken and pork dumplings which you take a small bite into, drink the soup/broth and then eat the dumpling, was light and a delicious bite. The fried rice both the chicken and the pork (pork is like a pork chop placed on top see photo) was really good! We have the infused cucumbers as well not pictured and the garlic green beans which were amazing. The pear martini pictured definitely was strong but a good balance, definitely a little punch in your mouth.The overall experience was great. Family style experience and the staff were super friendly.Make reservations for this place ahead of time. Family friendly and fast service.For roughly 6 adults we easily spent 400 between drinks and food!"

"I ordered Mendos Original Pork Belly Banh Mi sandwich with lemonade. I like how the veg was cooked, and the jalapeño added a pleasant spiciness. However, the pork belly was surprisingly tough. The crunchy bread was a plus, although it was slightly dry. The green lemonade was plain, and the rose was a bit too sweet for my taste. In general, it's an okay sandwich, but I wish I could have enjoyed it more."
