Service was slow but once she got to us,she was sweet and accommodating. As far as the food.... Artichoke dip was great and we liked the cheese curds, BUT I would not recommend the appetizer "Awesome Appetizers" The Python pasta was delicious and highly recommended! The lava cake was entertaining It was a great experience for the kids but I don't see us heading back to soon! read more

The service and staff were great. The nachos were ok- I expected meat on them- Just beans, cheese, sour cream and pico. Husband liked the fish and fries-and the burger disappeared quickly! The birthday song by the staff was very appreciated by Jake! read more

Stopped for a quick bite while strolling the mall. Definitely on the pricier side which is surprising since it's a very family friendly restaurant. It was pretty loud with all the animal sounds, thunder and whatnot. We got a couple apps and drinks. I would have liked the bruschetta to come with a couple extra slices of bread since there was a lot of tomato left over. The bread was overly toasted as well. Overall, service was alright and food was okay. read more

I have not been to Rainforest Cafe in ages. And I forgot how much the littles love it. The ambiance is enough to bring you out at least once. When my older children were younger we went often. The inside is decorated to the extreme. Apes. Monkeys. Birds. The ceiling has a sky that changes. Every hour there is a lightning storm and the lights dim and create a storm. The service was good. We only had the nachos because we were just popping in to experience the ambiance and have a snack. read more

I hadn't eaten at Rainforest Cafe in a long time, and to my surprise--it was really good! We celebrated my son's first birthday there and it was super kid-friendly. The food was solid, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and they made the happy birthday singing actually fun. They also accommodated our group of 15 with no problem. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely do it again. read more

I meet my niece and sister here and you can tell this is a child's dream restaurant. The restaurant is super cute but a bit loud from all the animation going on. My niece got the cheese pizza with fruit. I was surprised the fruit was pineapple. The pineapple looked dry, but it was actually really good. My niece really enjoyed the thin crust pizza. My sister got the BBQ burger that she said was good but could use more bbq sauce. My pasta said spicy and the waitress also warming that I was spicy, but I love spicy so I was all for it. The spice was spicy, but it was really flavorful and it came with tons of meat. To top off the entire staff are extremely friendly. It feels like they are revamping for people to come back and it is working. read more

I took my family to Rainforest Cafe here only because we had a good amount of gift cards to use. I never had a good memory for this place as it use to be musky, sticky and food was vastly mediocre back in the late 90's. Upon further investigation, this location underwent a $2.5 million renovation only 2 months ago (LOL) But since I had gift cards, sure why not. I brought my 2 year old daughter here for her birthday and I was actually rather impressed with how things are. There are enough of things I remembered, the animatronics, the atmosphere and the gift store in the front. However things aren't as bad as I remember them. Perhaps they got rid of the must and did a remodel or something, but my current experience was alot better than back in the late 90s. The food was actually alot better too. I ordered the fish and chips and ended up not even eating half the amount. My wife got the Cajun pasta and it was a very healthy portion of it. It was salty but good amount. My baby got a large portion of chickie nuggies with mac and cheese so it was great. Prices weren't exactly cheap, but with the impressive amount they gave us, its workable. Our waiter Johnny was fantastic, good attitude and not helicoptering. Overall our family had a fantastic time at Rainforest Cafe, I'm glad it has erased my not so fond memories from back in the last century. Imagine my 2 year old's mind when the sparkling volcano dessert came out. read more

We went for my son's birthday. I recommend making a reservation for dinner because it gets very busy really quick. My kids loved the experience so much to look at. I really loved that the kids meals were served in kid plates (divided into 3 sections) made my kids feel like they were eating dinner at home. As a parent really appreciate clean highchairs with straps. Our server was so nice and I wish I remembered her name. She had a full party behind us and still took great care of us as well. We had a great time and would recommend for birthdays with the kiddos read more

The best of this review will be that the establishment was clean! The food subpar at best; my coworkers and I decided to patronize this establishment and we were disappointed(always believe the reviews) the service was neither here nor there. She barely checked in with us. We do not approve! Good luck(Don't ignore the reviews) read more

We had a party of 9 on a Sunday for an early dinner. The restaurant has plenty of seating and ofc the decor with the animals are probably the best part of the whole experience. The waiters were nice but service was overall pretty slow for being one of the only tables seated. Pastalaya and Creole mac and cheese were flavorful, but the prices are expensive for what it's worth. Portions were decent. Drinks were a miss, unfortunately. Overall 3.5/5. read more

I grew up in the NOLA area but remember going to Rainforest Cafe when we'd travel. If you're wanting the full on "rainforest thunderstorm" experience where the animals go ballistic, I'd wait a bit - a lot of those exhibits are under construction at this time. That said, now that I live in Houston, I was THRILLED when my SIL planned my nephew's birthday party here a few weeks ago. The staff went above and beyond to make his day special. In addition, I'm gluten intolerant and love the gluten-free options the menu offers. I got the turkey club on GF bread. My husband ordered the same (after his seasonal sandwich was sold out). Their drink menu is quite large, and the collectible cups are always an added bonus. Service was a bit slow, but we truly enjoyed our time together. The manager also came by a few times to ensure our water/drink glasses remained full. He was so kind and caring. If we're in the area again, we'll be back! read more

Took our daughter here tonight for her birthday. We were seated right away and had drink orders promptly. The food was ok, honestly food was about 3.5 stars. I am giving the restaurant 5 stars because of our server. Syoriah was amazing. She was attentive, friendly and just all around a great server. Highly recommend asking for her if you visit. read more

Rainforest Cafe - Service was nice. Pasta was beyond greasy. - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

Our server was perfectly pleasant. The food was expensive for what it was and both my burger and my wife's pasta arrived at the table luke warm. The plates were warm. But the food was not. My fries were hot. The bottom bun of my burger was soaked with grease and compressed. I asked for a different bottom bun. Had to ask for a refill on my soda. I think while paying almost $55 for a meal for 2 people the food would be better. read more

This was my first time ever experiencing this restaurant! It's a really great atmosphere for families. My daughter absolutely loved it and we went on her birthday to have her birthday dinner. The rainforest decor with all the different animals were amazing. The food and service was great too!

Rainforest Cafe - Ribs and fries - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

I went to Rainforest Cafe last night to celebrate my birthday. I am so highly disappointed about everything. I went to the Katy Mills location in Katy Texas. I order the Jamaican beef stir fry with the jasmine rice and fried plantain. It was a rip off for the price. The rice was disgusting smoochy oily and a small portion, the beef was salty not tasty but extremely spicy so I only ate the 3 mini fried plantain. My daughter had the shrimp salmon over jasmin rice . Salmon was tasty but was also was a rip off $30 + per place and was a tiny portion same jasmin rice was blend not worth the price. disgusting. I use to eat there not no more. But wait , there is more , I was overwhelmed with the loud noise of the jungle animals . I couldn't even talk , the noise was not like before where there was a lower sounds and you could talk this time was extremely loud a non stop and continuously. Don't eat there is not worth your money. read more

I was pretty impressed with my experience at the rainforest cafe in Katy. The food was delicious, the ambiance was good, and the service was decent. I got the chicken fried chicken as my entree. It was really delicious and very flavorful. I would happily order this again. The hurricane drink was just ok, not the best I've had. I was also a little disappointed by the ambiance, I expected it to be a bit more realistic, but this was my first time at a rainforest cafe. This was a cool experience and I'm glad I went, I'd go again for sure. Great food options for adults and kids read more

I really still like going to this Rainforest Cafe, it's fun, tropical and has great food. This particular visit we came to just have a couples night out my husband is comfortable always having the fajitas and me they had new items so I tried the Bombay Chicken and Shrimp I want to prepare you that if you like spicy but so GOOD wish there was more shrimp, it eats like a gumbo so if you like gumbo give this dish a shot. We liked our waiter but wish he had been more attentive and kept my tea glass full. He did not check on us as often as I would have liked, if the restaurant had of been busy I could understand but they were not at the hour we had dinner. Another note: in the gift shop area there are not enough adult items or sizes in clothing for we adults who would like to take something home other than a coffee mug. read more

Review for 4/19.. Had a great time at Rainforest Cafe! The energy in the place was really fun and lively--definitely a cool vibe. I didn't have any food, just drinks, and they did not disappoint. I had three tequila lemon drops (so good!) and tried one of their $14 drinks from the menu--it was blue, strong, and surprisingly tasty. Alicia was my bartender and she was awesome--super funny, had great customer service, and just made the experience even better. Honestly, it turned out to be a great spot to chill, grab some strong drinks, and even catch a game. Definitely a pleasant surprise! read more

Decided to give this place a try at the mall and the atmosphere was very welcoming and beautiful the decor really made me feel like I was in the rainforest. Our waitress was out of this world she was so sweet and helpful thanks Alessandra for being an amazing waitress. We tried the appetizer plater and it was so good 10/10, the chicken and shrimp was flavorful. Will definitely be coming in here next time I'm shopping at the mall. read more

The food was AMAZING! The atmosphere was so neat. I haven't been here in 15 years - so while we were on vacation we had to stop.

We've gone to the one in San Francisco. Same rainforest vibes. Lots of seating. We asked for a booth but they claimed there were none available. Clearly there were some available-- but I think they couldn't seat a party of 3 only on the booths. So we settled for a table. Service wasn't the best. Our waiter placed the orders. But I think the cooks were the ones who messed up. Our main dinner arrived first, then our appetizers came afterwards. So we ate everything all at once-- and we didn't like that. They don't have a system like most restaurants do. Plates we were done with-- were left on our table for very long time. This was a one and done. The best way I could describe the food-- DRY and not freshly made. If they were freshly made, they might've been sitting out on food warmers or something-- because you can definitely tell with food textures. Appetizers (even if they arrived last): Awesome Appetizer Adventure 3/10 overall - arrived after our main dinner arrived. Egg rolls were dry and not crunchy, but flavor was there. Dip was dry and not creamy and smooth. Chicken tender didn't have much flavor, mozzarella was decent. Steak, garlic butter shrimp, coconut shrimp and rice-- 2/10 I asked for medium and they gave me a VERY DRY medium-well. Garlic shrimp and coconut shrimp were ok. Rice was bland. That steak ruined it for me. Pork chops-- 4/10 Kids cheeseburger and fries + Lava Mud dessert-- 7/10 Chocolate Volcano-- 5/10 pretty huge serving First impression, service and quality of food was NOT it for us. I don't think we'll be back again. read more

The chicken quesidilla was excellent. The resturant was a very fun experience and I really enjoyed the animals.

Four stars for excellent service. Food was three stars so good enough but not anything wow. It's a place for your kids and family and that's what you're really paying for. The kids meal was perfect with the Dino shaped nuggets but my kid was so mesmerized by the scenery that he forgot to eat all of his food. I got the beef taco salad which was good enough. read more

We visit this location twice monthly. Today we were treated poorly upon being sat and we decided to get up and leave. The host was super nice but the waitress did not want to be there from the start and I didn't want to pay for an experience that was going to be bad from the start. Wait staff have so much influence on a dining experience. I'm not paying 80-100 to have the waitress irritated from the start. There are plenty other options in Katy. read more
