Alright y’all, if you’re cruisin’ through Hillsborough County and looking for a spot that’s got dino-mite food, prehistoric vibes, and a setting that makes you feel like you just stepped into a Jurassic jungle, then buckle up because Dinosaur World Café in Plant City is the place to chow down. Tucked right next to the iconic Dinosaur World attraction (yeah, the one with life-sized dinos scattered through lush Florida greenery), this quirky café is part restaurant, part time machine, and all kinds of fun. Whether you’ve just explored the Dino Trail or you’re just hungry for something a little different than your usual chain stop, this place is where food meets fossil frenzy, and it delivers on both.

🍔 Why Dinosaur World Café Is a Must-Stop Spot

• 🥪 Kid-Friendly + Adult-Approved Menu – Burgers, wraps, chicken tenders, hot dogs, nachos, and dino-themed snacks that'll keep your crew fueled

• 🧃 Ice-Cold Drinks & Sweet Treats – Icy sodas, slushies, and ice cream that taste even better after a Florida sun-soaked walk among the dinos

• 🦕 Prehistoric Atmosphere – You’re literally eating next to dinosaur statues and fossil displays. It’s like lunch inside a natural history museum with better snacks

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for Families – Big tables, chill vibes, and no judgment if your kid is roaring like a T-Rex during lunch

• 🛍️ Connected to the Dino Gift Shop – So you can snag a plush triceratops or a fossil kit while waiting for your burger

This café sits at 5145 Harvey Tew Rd, just off I-4 in Plant City, which means it's an easy stop whether you’re rollin’ from Tampa, Lakeland, or anywhere in central Florida. And here’s the thing—this isn’t just about the food. You’re stepping into the wild world of Dinosaur World, a 20-acre theme park packed with over 200 life-sized dinosaur sculptures, interactive exhibits, a fossil dig for the kiddos, and photo ops that will absolutely blow up your Instagram. You can hit the park for a few hours and then settle in at the café to refuel and cool off. Even if you’re not doing the whole park thing, the café alone is worth stopping by for the novelty and the chill setting.
