The Food
At the time of this writing, there are 13 restaurants on site, so there is sure to be something to meet everyone’s tastebuds. If you have dietary restrictions, there are options to meet your needs. I’m gluten free and chose Bodhi’s Bowl. Cute sign, right?
This deliciousness was my lunch. Bodhi’s Bowls serves gourmet rice bowls, influenced my foods around the world. The menu is labeled so you know if it is gluten free or vegan. They will also make adjustments if needed. I enjoyed every flavorful bite of this meal.
My lunch mate ordered a taco and some macaroni and cheese from Nice Guy’s Shrimp Shack and said they were both amazing. As you can see, their portions are large. It took me two days you finish my meal.
Check out this fun car in their backyard. You can also find a second children’s play area and miniature golf on their back porch.
