So after a failed attempt at HRC in Boston due to a "too busy" manager to hear about food allergies, we decided to head to RFC. We got there & of course out kids LOVE this place. I'm dreading it. I know the food is sub par & NOT worth the $$$. It always makes us go straight to the... More

Had made a reservation but still had to wait in line for half an hour. It was February school vacation so I guess this was to be expected. The overall experience with fish tanks and animated animals and sound effects was quite awesome. We did need flashlights to see the menu and make our selection! Food was okay and overpriced.... More

We had never been here before. We had tried years earlier when our daughter was younger but she was too scared. This time she loved it as did my husband and I. I loved the atmosphere, the staff was fun, the menu had great choices and wasnt ridiculously priced. I cant wait to go back again

The waiter was very friendly and gave us a great table for our 2 year old grandson. The food was delicious and we had to take half of it home because the portions are so generous! Plan for time to look around the restaurant.

This was our first stop on our very first family weekend getaway. It was a little difficult to find (we didn't know it was in the mall) as our GPS kept sending us down some random side street *before* the turn to the mall. Once we found it, however, it didn't disappoint in terms of the fun, exciting atmosphere we... More

The Rainforest Cafe is a really fun experience for kids. The atmosphere is filled with jungle themes, animated animals, and fish tanks teeming with colorful fish. The food selection is fairly good. The food is reasonably good. The service from front desk to hostess to wait staff at this particular establishment was mediocre.

Brought our daughter & grandkids. Waited an hour only to be brought into a half empty dining room. Thought the prices were too high for quality of food. The worst thing was that one in our party didn't get his entree until the rest of our party was finished. This was after several false claims that the meal would be... More

Because we enjoy T-Rex at Downtown Disney, we decided to surprise our kids with a similar experience closer to home. We've never been to Rainforest before, and to read the reviews here, I think people ought to get some idea of the type of place they are dining at before going and then giving a lousy review because it isn't...

We went to this restaurant while out of town visiting family. First the positives: the decor was cool. Many things to look at and the animaltronics were fun. Negatives: first off, the food was mediocre. It is way over priced, the food took forever to come, and the service was ridiculous. The restaurant has a policy that any party with... More

We had a reservation for 5 of us and were seated on time. The decor was fun especially the big fish tanks spread around the dining area. The service was pretty good but a little on the slow side. Menu was fine but could have had a few more "light" selections. There was a simulated lightning storm every 15 or... More
