Costco Food Court

If heaven had a snack bar, it would be the Costco food court. Every visit feels like stepping into a realm where flavour, value, and sheer joy collide. For the price of a cup of coffee elsewhere, Costco serves up legendary hot dogs that taste like tradition itself—juicy, perfectly grilled, and somehow still just $1.50, a price frozen in time like a gift to humanity. The pizza? A glorious, cheesy marvel—massive slices with just the right balance of gooey mozzarella, tangy sauce, and that perfect golden crust. One bite, and you understand why people drive across town just for it. And don’t even get me started on the chicken bake: it’s a warm, savory hug wrapped in dough, with creamy filling that makes your taste buds cheer. Then there’s the frozen yogurt swirl—smooth, dreamy, and generous enough to share (not that you’ll want to). Wash it all down with a soda refill that feels like a VIP pass to fizzy paradise, and you leave not just full, but gleefully triumphant. The Costco food court isn’t just a pit stop; it’s a cultural icon, a shared experience, and a reminder that life’s greatest pleasures don’t need to cost more than a couple of bucks. Every bite is pure joy, every visit a mini-celebration.

I don’t understand how their system works, but I had to wait 1.5 hours for a pizza and 3 bakes. People who ordered 40 minutes AFTER me and had the EXACT SAME order received their’s before me when I ordered and turned in the receipt before?? Everyone is working hard but the attitude I was given was horrible. This system seriously has to be fixed.

The Costco food court is in a word: consistent. The food always tastes good no matter what you buy. The service is always quick as they can be. However.... There's never enough servers working the food court and that causes quite a lot of traffic congestion and grumpy people waiting for their food. Me personally I waited in line for 45 minutes for 2, yes 2 hotdogs. I watched the poor understaffed and almost overwhelmed food servers scramble to take care of each order. I commend them for their determination. But for shame San Francisco Costco for allowing that to happen in the first place. Other than that no complaints.

Executive members entrance is one hour or 30 min early, meaning that regular members aren’t allowed in for the first hour or 30 minutes depending on the day of the week. Real bullshit.

Good costco place but need some more options But love it's clothing.

Everything is good but you must have Everything in the same zone, I mean, sometimes I don't find the items

I've been a costco member 4 20+ years. This location has the absolute best pizza. Sometimes the lines are long. Sometimes the patrons are rude but 4 the most part the experience here is good 👍🏾 and I've been shopping at this location for over 2 decades 💪🏾👍🏾👌🏾

If you're there only for the food, there's much better options.

Calzones were the bomb! Good value , one take away I would say they don't take cash , and call ahead doesn't mean that much your still gonna wait.

This place should be called the Costco Food Cult not the Costco Food Court. People must be fanatical about the Costco Pizza which I find kind of above average . Just because the pizza cheap doesn't make it great. I must say the hot dog and soda is the best deal in the city plus it taste good. Make sure you have a Costco Card or have someone with Costco card as they will be sweating you and not letting you in if you don't have a card. Don't bring cash it's cards only. Be on guard if you don't bring a card.

I'm always impressed that just a few employees can successfully manage the throng of customers waiting to pick up their (mostly pre-paid) food items. The pizza ovens are going, they're answering questions, another's splitting warmed buns and fishing hot dogs out of the water. It's barely contained madness and God love 'em, they are fast and polite. The Costco Food Court is just another facet of this excellently run business.

Fed 2 people for under $10! Hot dog and drink: $1.50 each Soft serve ice cream chocolate and strawberry: $2.50 each

Rapid snack for the driving, easy to place an order, fresh out of the oven pizza, smart way to improvise a snack during or after lunch, great business strategy

Tried to order pizzas ahead of time for a shorter wait time but no one ever answers the phone. Delicious pizza, especially for the price. Staff are great at reading the time on receipts so everyone gets there pizzas in order.

The BEST value food EVER, unless you count in ridiculous wait times or long lines or limited seating. Most Costcos have outdoor foodcourts but this one is inside so it kind of sucks. The hack though, is to go very very late or very very early and there's never a line; but even if there is a line, they usually serve you the food relatively fast since it's always being made and always in demand (so it's usually always fresh). It's truly amazing.This business is so transparent you can see how everything is made and prepared and it is ridiculously cheap. Costco really is life. food: I'm team chicken bake, hot dog and combo pizza; have never tried their salads or cheese pizza, the beef brisket knocked me out (too sweet), their turkey provolone is not bad but also not great if not eaten fresh, and their smoothie/drink menu changes quite often--sometimes it's fruit smoothie, somethings it's fruit yogurt, sometimes is froyo, sometimes its a mocha freeze. I love eating here.

Didn't have time to head out to fancy eateries or cafés? Why not head to the food court after you spent minutes in long, frustrating lines towards the checkout. Every Costco has its food court; so if you're feeling hungry, here it is. There's some of the food options; ranging from pizza by a slice to a chicken bake. Want healthy options? Go for açaí bowl or açaí/vanilla froyo, which finally came out last year. That's for dessert but it's worth your time. After several minutes of grocery shopping, there comes a time when a man is still hungry even if having some different samples aren't enough.

Can't believe how cheap it is $1.50 ($1.63 with tax & no tip) for a 1/4 lb hotdog and 20 oz diet soda. Other stuff (not many) but all cheap -$3-6. Very good value for medium quality food. Issues: Getting a seat is a bit of a scrum. Easy to get fat eating here.

Value for money, only $2.17, including tax, for a big slice of pizza (pepperoni or cheese or everything)

You should know they just don't let anybody in here. No, no, you plebeian - this is a most exclusive eatery only available to those who buy laundry detergent in oil barrels and toilet paper rolls in 84-packs. So just go away, you spontaneous hand-basket shopper....you simply don't belong here. Hell, I didn't know this even had a name, but sure enough, the Costco site calls it the Food Court. So OK, it's a food court...sorta. It looks more like lunch hour during visiting hours at San Quentin with families crowded on long picnic tables between a cinder-block wall and the throngs of exiting shoppers with their flatbeds doing about 20 MPH on their way to get checked off with a magic marker at the exit. I've never managed to get a seat here. People park here for days, I think. And I can see why - $2 pizza slices! How can you beat that in our current economic malaise? In fact, I'm surprised I don't see more people queuing up for the food here. But alas, you need a Costco membership card. I was freeloading off Jamie W.'s that night, and we both got slices of the combo (see my photo) and took them to the cement post outside the door. As people were using their carts as battering rams trundling their stash, we tried mightily to maneuver the flimsy paper plates to the sounds of screeching tires and screechier-sounding shoppers. FOOD - 3 stars...can't beat $2 pizza...and it ain't bad AMBIANCE - 2 stars...you're kidding, right? SERVICE - 3 stars...well, I like how you can pre-pay for your food at the main checkout TOTAL - 3 stars...I'm in with the in-crowd

For the 200th review milestone, I put deep thought into what fancy restaurant I'd go to. Maybe Gary Danko, Wakuriya, The House, etc. Then I thought of Milli Vanilli's lip sync'd words: "You said you didn't need her You told her good-bye (good-bye) You sacrificed a good love To satisfy your pride" These words came to mind because in the past I turned my nose up to it. I would shop, checkout and keep my eyes focused on walking towards the two people with the Highlight markers.. My pride told me that I shouldn't, that I couldn't lower my Foie Gras, Ahi Tuna Tartare, Creme Brûlée palate. "Did you ask if I wanted a hot dog?" Is it grass fed or Wagyu? Pizza? Is it Margherita neapolitano style thin crust?!?! Did the person preparing it work under the tutelage of Michael Mina or Joel Robuchon?? I like drizzle. Is there drizzle involved? But just like Jay-Z, I'm too old to be frontin. (Let's pour it on thick). Costco Food stand is spectacular. Here's my menu: Pizza: breathtaking. Polish dog: astonishing Caesar Salad: remarkable Carne Bake: mind boggling Very berry sundae: dazzling For under $10 I got a five course meal. I can pretend I don't like it just as I pretend I don't like Milli Vanilli. But I do. "I guess we gotta blame something. Blame it on the Rain".

A huge pizza for around $10?! I can't deny that it's a steal! Too bad I'm not a huge fan of their pizza. I find their crust too thick and bready. The roommate always wants a order a pizza whenever we're at Costco, so he's a fan. He can eat more than half a whole pizza in one sitting! It's fun watching the machines sauce the dough and all, but it took about 30 minutes to get my pizza! That's way too long. And there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to who gets which pizza and in what order. I saw people waiting after me who got their pizzas first. And others who started waiting before me who didn't get their pizzas before I got mine. An average pizza, but a great deal at $10!

got a hotdog a soda and a slice of pizza for less than even One Singular McChicken From The Value Menu ™ at McDonalds

Foods good but these mofos won't pick up the phone when i try to order pizza! That's all i have to say. Stop forcing me to extend my review, yelp!

Difficult in not losing my shit here. Crowded as hell with not so polite patrons. I do shop here a lot but need to take my chill pill before coming inside of Costco. The food tasting stands are a benefit coming here because the quality of food that comes out of Costco is always excellent. If I could wrap my brain around the crowd control I would be better off.

you can never go wrong with costco, especially on sampled Saturday's hehe. The food court here is way too bomb as well and VERY inexpensive!!!

It's not my kind of food but the boys I am with definitely always love it... Here's what I usually will and won't eat with all the pricing I can remember... Will eat: - frozen yogurt with berries on top, really yummy - $1.65 - frozen yogurt vanilla/chocolate swirl - $1.35 - frozen latte/mocha/berry smoothie - $1.45 (or very close to that) Boys love and I'll steal a bite: - chicken bake - $2.99 - slice of pizza - $1.50 Boys love and I usually won't touch: - huge hot dog/sausage with a soda - $1.50 Haven't tried: - turkey wrap - $3.99 - chicken caesar salad - $3.99 You can definitely get more than enough food for a meal for $5 though! I'm more of a McDonald's food fan though if I'm going to eat not-so-healthy... P.S. Where did the big soft pretzels go?!

Some days the lines are so long due to 4 people helping 1 person at a time. Other times I get there only 2 people waiting. Some of the staff are just plain rude. It is a hit or miss. Lines form due to the cheap food options available. And still hear from time to time stupid customers trying to order pizzas with no onions or something else that slows down the line even more..

I've never done a review on the food court but maybe someone should havedone one earlier. if your going open up at 10 in the morning have your hot dogs buns hot and leave the steam door closed. because eating a cold hot dog bun with a hotdog is nasty as hell, and you can have one line open all your registers open we could just order our food and leave. Some people don't know where they stand not paying attention and then just walk upto the counter start ordering be a little bit more assertive if your going to work in the front. Because we're standing there trying to order our food that's just rude and put the tables back we need 2 be able to sit down especially when it gets busy at noon time. and clean up the area and make sure you refill onions/ mustard/ relish / ketchup Sandoval things the soda machine..

2 dollars for a slice of pizza 1.50 for hot dog / polish dog + soda but most importantly, 1.50 for 3 giant scoops of gelato. Chocolate, pistachio, or Stracciatella AWESOME

I love the Costco Food Court. It has only one simple purpose. If you remember this purpose, then you will have NO problems! The singular purpose is to serve you cheap, grease filled, sugary, high-fat food to nourish your shopping energy reserves for a reasonable price... lol Yeah, the Costco Food Court reminds me of food at the Alameda County Fair which isn't a knock against it. At least I didn't say the food was like food at the Oakland Colisuem...or worse-Great America... I love the Polish Dog combo. A nice cheap snack that will keep you your tummy happy until you eat some real food later on... ) Uh, the only bad part about this place is seating is next to impossible. Be prepared to share a table... And don't be scared to talk to the people sharing the table with you if you do... :) BTW... If you dont' have a Costco membership, just tell the security guards you left your id card at home and they'll let in to go to the food court But you didn't hear that from me.

Minus one star for the bad service. Not sure what is up with the employees? But heard one of the ladies yell at a customer, "Come here! Hurry up!" I felt bad for the customer. Come on this is San Francisco, the land of the free love. I was more impressed with the food selection. They serve gellato here!!! This doesn't happen at other Costco food courts. I'm sad because they don't serve chocolate gellato. Only mixed berry, chocolate chip, and vanilla. Blah! I want my chocolate

If you like pizza, served by people wearing hair nets that look like colostomy bags, like I do, then you'll love Costco pizza. For $9.80 incl tax, one or more would be hard pressed to demolish a whole 18" pie of scrumdidlyiscious, consumeristic, artery clogging, goodness. By the slice prices are equally as low, which are a welcome relief for Harry Calahan's hometown, Have I made myself clear? *sideways sneer* PUNK? You see chez whitey, we're not some TV-coma-induced, sports mclovin, source of have-more-children-get-more-tax-rebates, red state votin', spendin' retarts, who will impulse buy a 144 pack, of bluetooth-hd-compliant-frozen-shrimp-rich-corinthian-leather-multi-zone-recliner-massager-grilling-machine-inhome-ez-floor-ceiling-mount-auto-erotic-asphixiation-stripper-pole. No sireee, we will not fall for your ploy. Nor will we be run over by automobiles who yield for pedestrians everywhere in SF, except 8th through 12th streets in SOMA. We are the internet-educated masses, ready to corrupt your children to become arrogant, obnoxious, free thinking, pro-gay marriage/choice pains-in-the-asses who will take over the world. Are you ready for a new sensation? A new sensation.

I know that it's not the best for me, but I will consume Costco food court food when the opportunity presents itself. First of all, it's tasty and second of all, it's affordable. If you don't arrive during the peak business hours, then you beat the rush of having to wait in a long line to order a meal. This was the first Costco that I knew of that serve gelato in three different flavors. I have since learned that there is one more Costco in the SF Bay that serves gelato as well. I think that's why they had to sacrifice the very berry sundae for the gelato, but they still have froyo. Costco food is kind of a staple with me, so I don't mind rating it high at all.

I have a love/hate relationship with the food court... PROs: -Good selection -Quality food -Cheap prices (hello, big, juicy hot dog and bottomless soft drink for $1.50!) CONs: -Long lines (especially at night) -Filthy people I guess it just really disappoints me that there are people who really don't care - they will leave trash everywhere and wait for someone else to clean up after them... I'll give this 4 stars for the food...I won't let filthy people ruin my dining experience. Just make sure you bring some Purell with you before you touch your meal since they don't have soap/water.

I love Costco! You can get anything you really need here. I haven't been to the SF Costco in awhile. We were gonna just go for hotdogs. Which I love nice and juicy! Instead I just went for gelato! Gelato for $1.50 they fill up the waffle cone! Where else can you get a big waffle cone with gelato? It was very yummy! Except their sitting area is very small and dirty! Come on now Costco!

The Polish Dog WAS good! Too bad Costco removed it from the menu . The only "rescue line" is the Chili. Oh well, prices (for now), can't be beat!

Have you EVer had a bad experience with the customer service? No , right?! I havent! it really surprises me how friendly costco associates are! Food is the bEST price you can get anywhere for fast food. pizza and churros being considered fast food here. tables are usually the harder thing to snag but it's not too bad it's awkward having to sit in extreme close proximity to strangers though. and they can listen in on your every word in conversation

I get 2 things at the Costco Food Court. Their Pizza's - under $10- for a huge pie , thats about 1/2 the cost of any where else in the city. Their Frozen Yogurt , and for $1.35 that is the cheapest for a decent soft server you will get anywhere in the bay area. I don't do anything else here , but for what i get these are insane cheap prices for a decent quality product.

I am in love with their pistachio gelato in a waffle cone but they never have it when I visit on the weekend! Last Sunday they gave me chocolate chip gelato newly made as a substitute and it was BLAND & runny. I wouldn't have paid ahead for it if they told me at check out they were out. Next time I'll order at the window instead vs. ahead. The rest of the menu you can't beat it! Everyone loves the hot dog and soda combo for under $2. I had a chicken bake once and it is FILLING. The chicken cesaer salad is HUGE and worth the money. You can literally eat it for a couple meals. My weekly Sunday ritual lately has been shopping with the boyfriend at Costco for his coffee fix and after shopping, we do the pre-order at the check out for our gelato, hot dogs and sundae's. Usually the pre-order line is longer than the regular line, so I think next time I'll hit that up instead of the short cut.

As cheap food courts go, this is fine. Pizza, hot dogs, sausage. I am not a fan of the sundae but the smoothie is fine. If your stomach and pockets are empty, this is an adequate option.

Me and my brother-in-law got diarrea after eating their Hot Turkey Sandwich. We bought it on 11/11/16. Costco did returned my money after complaining, but they really gave me a hard attitude because I didn't bring the sandwiches. Come on, I ate them already. Should I bring the shit instead?? The food is still cheap and fairly tasty...

Every Costco food court is five stars. Great value for great food. Every single item on the menu is worth it, as long as you don't have any dietary restrictions. In case you're not familiar with the items of the menu, here's a partial list of my faves: * Pizza by the slices or whole Pizza pies (cheese, pepperoni, "combo" which is like a supreme) * Chicken bake * Hot dog * Frozen yogurt Overall, it's an amazing place to get lunch.

I thought using Costco food court doesn't require membership because I have gotten pizzas everywhere else except this one. A man at the front blocked me and said, "you can't go in" He didn't even check if I'm a member. I said I am not a member in fact but non-members can use food court as well right? He said, "no" Awkward silence. And I tried to explain but he just ignored everything I said. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe this location has its own guidelines.

If your looking for a yummie snack for super cheap... this is the place to be! This is totally great if your on a lunch break or need to supply food really fast. Pros: Very cheap. Cons: This particular Costco is always very packed and so is it's food court line! Lots of rude people pushing and shoving... forgetting there's even a line... Food recommendation: the Turkey sandwich is amazing! I don't even like tomatoes but it's perfect oh the hot sandwich

On my continued mission to stay on my austerity plan for lunch, I have now started running to Costco for their chicken caesar salad ($3) for lunch...now, I am often tempted by their polish dog and soda ($1.50), but I am trying to diet...so salad it is. My salad is always fresh, and definitely has more than $3 worth of chicken in it.....and it is delicious! I'd like to thank Costco for not raising their prices, even with the current economy. I'm a foodie, but not a snob.... I know a good salad when I eat it.... PS....still dreaming about a polish dog though...mmmm....damn you diet!!! PPS...that frozen yogurt berry thing.....DELICIOUS!!! PPPS.....if you splurge, go for the pizza

I love Costco...I always have. However, this one, unlike any other location I've seen, recently sells gelato! Not sure if they're just test marketing, but it's actually pretty good and my dad loves it. When he had it the first time, he told us that he had never had ice cream so delicious before. I wouldn't go that far, but it was pretty good, especially for the price. Just wanted you to know that they have it...check it out!

Costco is one of those places you can't help but love. Free samples? Check. Isle upon isle of things you both want and need (like a massive display of different flavors of Spam)? Check. Diamond rings and booze? Check. Cell phones and clothing? Check. I mean, the list goes on and on and on and on.... I stopped in for an inexpensive throwback lunch, by which I mean I used to eat at the Costco food court in my younger days when I was home schooled and my mom had to fill up the cabinets with giant bags of pretzels, bread, canned goods, etc. So I opted for a classic hot dog ($1.65 with tax) for a deeeeelicious hot dog in a sesame bun and a soft drink. I went back yesterday for a slice of pepperoni ($1.99) and oh man was it tough today to talk myself out of going back for just that! I never had the pizza from the food court until just yesterday, and it was fantastic. I wish they had peppers and cheese or hot sauce or something but you can't have it all, all the time. Though I think for any other item, Costco got you covered. There are other items like Caesar salads, sandwiches, and that tastey Chicken bake, which Ill probably go back for tomorrow. It's cheap compared to other spots in the area too. Also not sure if you need to be a member to go to the food court side... I just walk in.

They say a dollar isn't what it used to be, but know what a dollar fifty still is? A Costco hot dog!! The Costco hot dog is the only item I can think of that has not changed in price, ever. Electronics have gotten cheaper, almost everything else has become way more expensive, but the Costco hot dog or Polish sausage plus soda deal has always been $1.50. Plus it's tasty, pretty large in quantity and even if the line is long your time from thinking about eating to actually eating is usually very low. You're at Costco, so obviously bulk toppings are the way to go. I recommend the deli style mustard, relish and onions (don't be intimidated by the dispensers) and the kraut - which you need to ask for at the counter. Hard to believe that buck fifty also gets you an extra large soda, but believe it. It does. Other pro tips - -The pizza is also an extremely good deal if hot dogs aren't your thing. -The beef brisket sandwich tastes pretty good but is incredibly greasy. -The food court itself is cash only but if you happen to be shopping at Costco also (yes I have come here just for the food court) you can add your order to your bill during shopping checkout and pay with debit or Amex.

SLOW SERVICE!!!! Went there today and "prepaid" for a couple of pizzas and a polish dog at the cash register with the rest of my purchase. Like a good little robot... I went directly to the "Pre-Paid" line where I encountered the slowest moving employee ever... Razel. I swear... this girl looks miserable working there and moves slower than the elderly hanging around this food court. And Costco put her at the "pre-paid" line!!! Isn't the point of pre-paying your food at the register so that you can just grab your food and go? Welp... not with Razel working at this window. The people standing in the food court line received their food quicker than the pre-paid line. When it was finally time for my turn at the window, Razel will only give me the polish I ordered and directed me to the other side for the pizza. I understand they have their rules and the other side did say "pre-paid pizza only" so I obliged and went and stood in that line. When I got in that line, there was only one person in front of me (unfortunately this person took a long time and had her cart with her so she was hogging up the space). Miguel was helping her and once he was done, instead of motioning to help me (the person that was next in line), he went to a register and started helping taking orders. He saw me but kept ignoring me. I figured he was waiting for the lady in front of me to get out of the way first. But once she was gone, he just kept ignoring me. It wasn't until I was there for about 10 minutes until Roshawn (the only person there who looked like she knew her job and didn't hate it) motioned to look at my receipt and helped me. (She's the only reason I am giving this place 1 star... ok.. Roshawn and the fact that Yelp requires at least a one star rating... ) Seriously... Costco need to review their work distribution and have some better management at the food court. They should also look at the employees working there... i know it's cheap food... but I also know for a fact that they get paid pretty decent there (I have a friend who works at Costco). Even though I'm only giving it 1 star... I will be back over and over again... cheap eats is cheap eats (where else in SF can you find a Polish Dog and drink for 1.50? I just wish there was better implementation of their workflow.

Note: This review is only for the gelato. Costco only serves gelato at select locations and since my local Costco doesn't have this item, I jumped at the chance to try it here. $1.50 for three huge scoops in a waffle cone! What a steal! Or so I thought. The flavors include stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate chunks), pistachio, and chocolate. I asked for two scoops of pistachio and one of stracciatella, but was instead given two scoops of stracciatella and one pistachio...okay I'll live with it. The stracciatella was SO unbearably sweet. After one bite of this, I instantly regretted ordering gelato instead of a churro. The gelato consistency was there, but it felt like I was swallowing frozen sugar. The pistachio was slightly better, but did not have a very strong pistachio taste which made me question if it even was pistachio at all! The only part I actually enjoyed was the crunchy waffle cone which is a little sad. Skip the gelato and order something else!

OMG a whole pizza for $10 whether you want it with just cheese, just pepperoni OR a combo! Most pizza joints will charge you PER EXTRA TOPPING. But not good ol' Costco! Chicken Bakes are delicious but are also 800 calories (no joke)! $1 churros. AWESOME. And you can even order your food items at the register and go to the pick-up window and skip the line! Convenient, cheap, nummy, what more can you ask for??

For some reason, this Costco refuses to let you in for access to the food court without a membership. I was very excited for my $1.50 hot dog when I was told this disappointing information at the door. Obviously the policy makes zero sense as it's not as if you can make a non-alcohol related purchase sans Costco card and is not common policy of Costcos with outdoor food courts. Unmitigatedly disappointing.

So today.. pizza. hmmm not as good as that hot dog but still aided in the hunger :) Darn it... wrong location but I can't imagine they'd differ taste from city to city.

$1.50 for a sausage & soda? Are you kidding me? If there was one closer to my home/work, I'd eat here *every* day! (slight exaggeration) Stick with the Hot Dogs, Polish Sausage, or Pizza items. I've tried the Chicken Bake on several occasions and it's *always* been very dry. There's a reason the packaging recommends microwave vs. oven heating.

She got my order wrong, :[ too bad i didnt check. She gave me a slice of pepperoni instead of combo. Blah, pepperoni is so salty. On the upside, theres carne asadas and gelato added to the menu now! I will have my next birthday party here.

I'm super broke. Yay, I can eat dinner for 1.50!!!!!!! And the taste, fellow food snobs? Yum. Yes, the polish sausage with relish, onions, kraut and mustard can't be beat. And it comes with a soda too! Unbelievably good deal.

As one of the thousands upon thousands of local people that come here to grab a cheap pizza for a party or dinner, you can always expect a line unless you decide to be an early bird or come when it's nearly at shutdown. Unfortunately, they don't accept credit cards here, but with the advent of new technology (kinda), you can just order at the cash register when you're checking out and use your card there. I always make a trip here to order something as small as a soda or a pizza and shop while I'm waiting for my number to be ready. The food here isn't that bad considering the price and the prices can be dirt cheap. 18' pizza for $9.95 plus tax is uncalled for anywhere else in the city. I'm surprised that Costco decided to keep it this price despite the setting. Other chain restaurants, take notes from Costco.
