Can't review the food or ambiance because the staff was not interested in seating us. Customer service is definitely not what it should be for this facility. Hope it improves. I will try again the next time I'm in the area. read more

Barely a three. It is all about the environment, which is rather elaborate and fun. The blow out environment is the only saving grace. The food was not good. It is a place designed towards kids and the food tastes like it. Super expensive and really generic. We ordered their well known volcano. That was a disappointment. Between the five of us, we didn't desire to finish it. We didn't finish our food either. None of it was even worth mentioning. The service was minimal but hit the basics, barely. We will probably go back at some point in the future if we have kids or someone with an imagination. Just eat before you go. read more

You pay for the experience, food wasn't the best but the kids enjoyed the place. We probably won't go back.

Took my 5 year-old grandson here for lunch. I knew full well this is a touristy, money-generating machine. FOOD: He had the slider burgers and ate most of his plate. I had the corn poblano chowder, which was very good, but the peppers needed to be cut smaller and not in long strips. ATMOSPHERE: can be overwhelming for those under 5. SERVICE: Service was just ok. TIPS: prepare to open your wallet! read more

Nothing like it used to be. Very outdated animatronics, food is just average and wait times are silly. I wouldn't recommend

We were seated at the bar and we're there for at least 25 minutes and no one even acknowledged that we were there. We walked out

It's a VERY good idea to call ahead & ask for a reservation. I only cane here for the "experience" because let's be honest it's a fun place! They are short on wait staff so there is a wait time b/c they need people to work in the section they seat you in. Staff was extremely nice & helpful. The menu is down to one page of options, which is totally fine. Overall rainforest cafe is just a cool place to go. Give this location a break when it comes to staff, they are overworked. The food was good! Came out hot & fast. #HappyEating read more

The food is mediocre. You're really going for the atmosphere on my opinion. We were told the wait was 2 1/2 I got a text an hour later and we had to run back because we were deep in mall. The staff was great, the food not so much. Too much money for not so great meal read more

Where do I start.. This was truly unfortunate. I decided to take my boyfriend here for his birthday because we haven't been to a Rain Forest Cafe in YEARS! I made a reservation Saturday on the previous MONDAY just to get a good time, it's very busy here. My boyfriend and I were seated, it didn't take too long for the waiter to come take our order, we ordered an icee cup and a water, but needed more time to actually look over the menu. Nothing really stood out to us, nothing really seemed "unique" in terms of the "Rain Forest cafe" experience. After what felt like YEARS.. we finally got our waiter back, we ordered 2 of the silly alcoholic drinks, and our food. This took FOREVER to get out to us, but the time we got everything we were starving- Might I also add we had to wait forever for our drinks too? We got the rest of our drinks right before our food.. So we enjoyed an icee and a water for like 45 minutes? Anyways, my boyfriend and I just exchanged conversation while we had tons of kids and sometimes even their PARENTS hovering over our table, putting their stuff on our table, bumping the table, etc; because they were trying to take pictures and touch the elephants we were next to. The kids didn't bug us too much though. Now, here comes the worse part: When my boyfriend and I finally received our food, it was all very.. okay. The Salmon I had gotten was dry, the vegetables weren't very tender, but the shrimp was alright! The best part about my plate was the jasmine rice. My boyfriend had ordered a medium well steak, his steak was a bit more bloody though than he would have liked, but it enjoyed it alright none the less. The shrimp was good, he didn't touch the vegetables. Half way into his steak he looked at me and said, "I don't feel right, I feel weird in my stomach and I've never had this feeling before." He left to the bathroom to make sure he was alright and proceeded to throw up. (: On his birthday. After waiting for 20 minutes with him sick in his chair for a waiter and then another 20 minutes to talk to the manager, I was greeted by a very.. grumpy seeming manager, he sighed annoyed like when I told him and asked for the bill. After another 20 minutes we got the bill back- it said "Did not like" on the bill, -10usd. Let me add by the way, for just our food and drinks it was over 100 dollars. And the food wasn't worth at all, 100 dollars. I would have rather taken him to Texas Roundhouse or something for this birthday, their food is delicious! Anywho, "DID NOT LIKE," excuse me he THREW UP your food immediately!?! After not having like thrown up for years, not ever since he was a kid?? I was very angry by time we were leaving, had to wait another 20 minutes to get paid out.. I had a reservation at 6:45 and we left at 8:35. We spent 20-30 minutes maybe eating our food; to which we both didn't finish because it really wasn't that good.. on top of the vomiting. We paid over $100 for an irritating experience, food poisoning, and a grumpy manager. I've never had to do that before by the way, I'm not a Karen. We honestly wanted to make sure no one else would of gotten sick tonight.. Thanks Rain Forest Cafe, I wish I would've left you as an amazing childhood memory, but I had to come back and ruin it forever. read more

Okay, I know it's cheesy, and expensive. But dang dude! This place is so fun!!!! We took our daughter and she had a blast! Yes, the nuggets were dinonuggets. But you go here for the entertainment and the excitement. You don't go to chili's expecting gorillas and tigers and shit. I wish I had taken a picture of my burger. It was $13 but it was huge! I couldn't even finish it! They also have booze, FYI. read more

Waited for 15 min for anyone to greet us at our table. Waited another 45 minutes for food after we placed our order. Then waited another 20 minutes to pay. Even though it appeared as though the capacity was significantly restricted due to covid, the service was still slow. Had the BBQ Bacon burger. Not great, not terrible. Quite pricey, but you definitely pay for the experience. read more

If you want to avoid the crowds, try visiting this place on a weekday when it is not packed. My family and I came on a Wednesday afternoon and we were just a handful of diners here. Kids will definitely love this place - my two young boys did, especially the fish in the tanks, animated elephants, monkeys, and tigers. The service was good. Our waitress Jasmine was top notch and helped us through the menu, recommending popular items and drinks. If you like sweet alcoholic drinks, definitely try the $8 Mongoose Mai Tai, it was made just right. The food was o.k., nothing too fancy. We tried the Taste of The Islands - made of Caribbean Coconut Shrimp, dynamite scallops and shrimp,blackened tilapia topped with mango salsa, choice of a side (Fries). The kids liked the kids menu grilled chicken and Gorilla grilled cheese delight. We didn't have enough room for dessert, but we kept hearing that the sparkling Volcano dessert is good. We'll try it next time. On a side note, wife and I were wondering how on earth they dust all the fake foliage all around the ceiling and on the sides...I asked the waitress and she had no idea! We'll definitely come back if we are in the Grapevine area. read more

This is a cool experience for little kids and possibly even teenagers. You should definitely go once ! There's a gift shop as you enter so you can look around while you're waiting for your table to be ready. A huge animatronic crocodile greets You at the entrance opening its mouth and moving its tail. Once you enter the dining area you'll see the light sky twinkling on the ceiling and jungle animals in full animation. Food is pricey and pretty average . You're really just paying for the experience . Salads or $18 can you can imagine what a steak costs! read more

If I could give this place 1 star, I would. The restaurant wasn't even half full, and we waited 15 minutes for a table. We weren't too worried about it. No big deal. We were seated and then weren't greeted for probably 15 minutes. We asked a nearby employee who our server was. They didn't know. They found the manager. The manager didn't apologize or seem to care that we had been straight up ignored for 20 minutes at this point. We ordered with the manager. 10 minutes later our server comes over and says he'll be taking it from there. Still no apology. Our food was brought out after a while by a different employee. Hadn't seen our server at all since then. I asked the other employee for another drink. Waited for a while and still didn't see our server. We completely finished our food, and still no server. I told the other guy to forget about my drink, because at this point we just wanted the check and wanted to leave. Finally we found our server and asked for the check. He didn't come back again for a long time. I asked the manager to run our card after waiting and waiting for our server. Still no apology for our disaster of an experience. I don't consider Rainforest Cafe to be a fine dining establishment, but I could literally get better service at Applebee's. This location is a disappointment to the entire Rainforest Cafe brand. read more

Went for my nieces birthday went last year it was much better this time had a very good waiter I ate a hamburger I think barbecue it was extremely good really enjoyed it read more

2 stars only because kids love the cool animated animals but the service was bad. Food REALLY bad. We had hamburgers and they we barely ok. But for the price I'd expect great. It never fails to make me shake my head that you have a GREAT concept. Kids happy to go and entertained. A full bar. A HUGE menu ( too big. Cut it in half and make that half GREAT). Everything mediocre. Kids had pizza. It seemed previously frozen like a square totinos (think school pizza) and a little fruit. Also hate how you HAVE to walk through the store full of toys so now you have a screaming toddler you have to threaten with a trip to the "bathroom" because you refuse to spend 19.99 on a small hand sized gorilla. read more

The food is not good. The prices are ridiculous. The atmosphere is awesome but we spent $150 for 4 adults and 1 toddler (who shared with us). This didn't include alcohol or appetizers. I wouldn't waste my money if you are looking for a good meal. read more

The staff has always been friendly to me with each visit and I have had nothing but pleasant experiences

I think this is a great tourist attraction. You really pay for the atmosphere and the experience, so be prepared to pay a little bit more for dinner here. The service was above average - our waitress stayed on top of our drinks and we rarely had to ask her for anything. The food was decent, but as I mentioned before, you really pay for the experience. The animals come to "life" every 20 minutes and it's all just very appealing for families with children or visiting tourists coming through DFW. This was a great place for us to try, but I don't think we would be back for the mediocre food nor the price. read more

Well. I hate to do this, but feel it's a must. I've been coming to this Rainforest since it opened (sporadically that is). It used to be amazing. Last time I chose to eat here (in 2015) the food was so bad that I swore I wouldn't be back. But here we are. Since we were at the mall and my 4 year old had not ever had the "experience", I chose to give it another shot. First off: the features weren't operating. So there was lights and thunder but no moving animals (unless you count the fish in the tanks). Next: the food was awful. My soup was microwaved and my daughter's mashed potatoes a cold clump. Her fried food was what it was. The shrimp smelled so strong though so I can't help but believe the quality was poor. Very expensive for what you get and doesn't taste good either. Our server was amazing, sweet, and attentive. The poor quality of restaurant isn't her fault. Never again Landry's. You need to do an overhaul of this location and get the food on point. Get the features working. Make it right again. I know Graoevine Mills is almost a wasteland, and I'm betting that RC will soon be added to the list of "shut downs" in this area. read more

First I would like to say the food is pretty decent. The wait for the food not so great. The service sucked, the waitress had an attitude and not attentive . I one to give the benefit of doubt and try to see the good in situations, however I could not ignore her demeanor. The atmosphere the restaurant has as a whole was lovely . I have no complaints‍! I love the details of this place. I was very attentive to and felt as though I could really be in a rainforest. read more

LAVA CAKE! That's all you need to remember when you go here. And make sure you bring a couple friends to devour that beast. Okay I'll stop messing around but desert was the highlight of my meal and the Lava cake made me want to reach deep down and find room to eat more but I refrained from it. It's a cool concept of a restaurant with the jungle theme and the staff that point out the different animals as they take you on a tour to your table. The wait time wasn't too terrible but pretty lengthy, I'm guessing due to the popularity with its customers. The table I was sat at seemed to be in a congested/high traveled walk way. That was a bit annoying but I just moved to the other side of the table and I wasn't bothered by people walking or bumping into my chair anymore. I had the rib and chicken plate. To my surprise both were juicy and flavorful. I had a mix drink and glass of water to go with my meal. The mix adult drink was pretty darn good as well as the meal. I'm definitely going to give this place a second go if ever I'm around one. Oh the the mark down was for the feeling stack on top of other people. The restaurant felt too crowded with all that is going on in it. read more

The food was great and the service was awesome very respectful and helpful Justin and Sergio we're very helpful and their service was very good our favorite is this appetizer read more

We were looking forward to bringing our daughter to eat here on a Friday night. The hostess took my name down and told me it would be 1 hour and 50 min wait! I looked around the restaurant and noticed that it was half empty.... Thinking maybe they were short staffed or had big parties coming in, no problem. I come back an hour later to check if maybe we could get in ( the restaurant being even emptier than before) and the same hostess, with attitude, told us that we have only waited for one hour and that we would have to wait until the time she selected. Just an overall horrible experience. read more

I would definitely recommend this place I got the salmon and rice it was delicious. I also really enjoyed the decor and the entertainment. They also had someone come around and make balloons for kids. read more

Love taking my boys here! And hopefully continue to taking now the grand baby when he gets a little bigger

Rainforest cafe in grape vine Tcc rolled out a new menus today and the food is new and definitely improved. My wife had the shrimp flat bread and I had the shrimp tacos, they were both amazing. The most important part of as my sone has a dairy allergy and they more than impressed us with how they catered to us and ensured his food was dairy free. If you go ask for Justin super awesome guy and great server we will definitely be back the next time we are in town read more

Definitely a place to eat because you have kids! The food is Ok At best. But the moving animals and the rainforest back drop, and the large aquarium with tropical fish make it awesome for kids. The restaurant will mimic a real storm with loud thunder and lighting every 5 minutes or so. I truly enjoy seeing my son's face. But I wish they had better food options (like healthier) because they do cater to kids. Lots of birthday celebrations while we were there, they bring out this volcano dessert and sing for the person celebrating birthdays. read more

Great food and atmosphere! It was so fun to see the aquariums and wild animals around us while we enjoyed our meal. I went with a couple of friends and we felt like we were enjoying our childhood memories in a jungle while eating delicious food. Very fun experience! read more

Even though I'm in my mid 20s, I love rainforest cafe. The animals always crack me up and I still get excited when the "jungle" goes wild. I wanted to be adventurous this time around and ordered the veggie burger and fries. The veggie burger is a chick pea base, and it comes with guacamole and all the fixins. It was yummy and then two bites in it got so boring. The burger was just okay. Despite the food being just okay, I left a 5 star review because of the wonderful and attentive staff members! I absolutely like this rainforest cafe and you'll have a great time coming here with your family! read more

Waited to be seated for an hour and when it was my turn the table had garbage all under it and the table itself was dirty and the high chair (that was clearly left there on accident) wash full of food.. not only that the service from my waitress is horrible. Took over an hour for our food. Mind y'all I brought my 3 year old for the experience and they sat me at the table right at the entrance so we were nowhere near all of the animals. The food was horrible. This place is outdated. Needs a new menu that makes sense. New staff. New cook. You couldn't pay me to com back here. Yuck. read more

I went into this fully knowing the food would be expensive and we would have to wait a bit. It's a unique experience that's supposed to be fun for the kids, and I was willing to wait/pay a little more for it. I was not prepared for the poor customer service, and my experience will forever be tainted by some cheesesticks... that I never ate. We ordered cheesesticks for an appetizer. We were getting worried about how long the food would take after 20 minutes had passed and we never got them. Then our food arrives, but still no cheesesticks. Our waitress finally returns and asks if we ever got them. I said no, and she seemed surprised. She thought that we had received them and eaten them but someone else cleared them away. Here's the thing... if you've neglected our table for so long that you aren't sure whether or not we've eaten an appetizer, perhaps you've neglected it a little too long. Nevertheless, I try to be understanding. She offers to give them to us anyway at no charge, and I said that would be nice. Mistakes happen, but I appreciate when places try to redeem themselves. More time passes... we finish our meals, which were underwhelming, and still not a cheesestick in sight. When our waitress stops by to check on us, she realized that we still don't have them. She claims there is a misunderstanding in the kitchen and that she'll make sure we get some to go. More time passes... our waitress returns a third time and rambles on about the kitchen some more. The manager also stops by to give a simple, half-hearted apology and blame the kitchen. At this point, I don't really care about the cheesesticks, but I realize I'm just being fed excuse after excuse while nobody takes ownership of the (now repeated) mistake and no attempts are made to rectify the situation. I also realize that poor customer service comes straight down from management. We close out our check and leave. The kids loved it. They thought the thunderstorm was real and enjoyed watching the animated animals. The atmosphere is the only thing keeping this from being 1 star. It's really neat, and I really wanted to like this place more so that I would be happy to bring the kids back. Unfortunately, the service was so unacceptable that I don't plan to return anytime soon. read more

Visit: Monday evening, 8/12/19. 7:00p We almost didn't come to the Rainforest Cafe due to all the terrible reviews, not only on Yelp but that I have heard since the restaurant opened back in the '90's. The kids REALLY wanted to go though, so we decided to go and take our chances. It was a Monday night, so not terribly busy but still really steady. Service: Excellent! Pleasant staff, from the host to the waitress everyone was lovely and super friendly. Food: Actually really good! Wife and I split the big appetizer plate. The kids (ages 3, 3, and 7) loved their food and ate every bite. Atmosphere: The kids loved it! It's fun. It's obviously over 20 years old, but all in great working order. Everything was very clean and in order. Wait time: Despite there being a steady flow of people in, we waiting about 2 mins to get seated. Overall it was a really good experience. It could be that most reviewers went on a weekend; I could see it being insane there on a weekend, making the food sub-par and the staff tired and annoyed. Not excusing this behavior, just maybe the reason we had such a good experience where others have not. All in all, very glad my family got to experience this and enjoy it. read more

The ambiance is always AMAZING at any Rainforest Cafe. This is our 3rd time here and needed some work. We came during Spring Break which yes, I know, bad planning. Because we are Landry club members our wait time went from 2 1/2 hours to 10-15 minutes. BONUS!! Highly recommend signing up. They had their usual balloon artist which was great for the kids!! And I totally get you're paying for the atmosphere when it comes to the food. Pretty plain but all in all, the kids had a blast, and isn't that all that matters? read more

God this place sucks. Service is terrible, and surprisingly the food is worse, bar service was worse than that. Do not waste your time no matter how much your kid is screaming, anything literally anything is better than this place. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner this year to be nostalgic as I use to come every year as a kid. We were so let down in comparison. We had a bigger party since it was my celebration dinner so we anticipated a longer wait time for food but did not think our main courses would take an hour. No server or manager came to our table to acknowledge the wait time. By the time the food arrived my steak was way over cooked and my brother got sick from the raw chicken he was served he unknowingly took a bite of. He stopped eating his meal immediately once he noticed it he said as well as he did not take it home when offered a to go box. He later threw up and didn't feel good for the rest of the evening and informed me of the food issue. I feel bad that he didn't mention it but he is younger and didn't want to say anything to potentially ruin my evening. I've since told him it is appropriate to bring up in the future. I tried to call the restaurant the next evening and could never get through to anyone so im guessing they were busy. I was so let down by the whole experience and felt over looked/embarrassed with high expectations I have for the Landry's brand especially as a LSC member. read more

Overpriced for the food you get. Also the wait is a couple of hours. The servers are slow too. But I'm sure it's just hard to hire good people nowadays. read more

Two of us were having birthdays and three of our group had never been to Rainforest Cafe. Luckily, for us it was a nice quiet weekday without a lot of young families and kids running around. The service was awesome and we had a great waitress. The Manager made an appearance at our table to say "hello" as well which was very nice. Everyone of us enjoyed our meal and it ended up being a very pleasant and enjoyable dinner. read more
