Rainforest Cafe, Galveston Reviews

Since they downsized because of Covid,there is no longer any value forthe price charged. Also needs training in social distancing. $20.00 for Fish and Chips uou would think you could st least get Codfish, not it is some kind of whitefish. High price gast food quality. Stay rich Mr. Owner!

GOOD SERVICE ABOVE ALL DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL

Its a little pricey but the food was excellent. Waiters were friendly.

Delicious food and kids loves the ride that they have.

Awesome place. My new favorite restaurant when i visit Galveston. Great people, better food, cool ride, gift shop and more

Extremely fun atmosphere for the kids. Food was good and very pricey I might add. My Chicken Fried Chicken was great. Served hot & crispy with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans. All round good food for those at our table.

Had to make reservations because of long delay day before. Still waited 45 minutes

Family environment... Good food. Higher-priced food

This location is much better than the Grapevine location. My kid's enjoyed the adventure ride.

The food was okay. It was my first time visiting. My tastebuds where on high with everything i tried. The sauce on the flatbread we had tasted like a pizza joints. The rotisserie chicken i had tasted of nothing but rosemary. To me it tasted overpowering. And coleslaw had a citrus taste.

I loved it! It was so much fun for me and my family.

We arrived and were first in line to be seated. The Hostess was dealing with another customer. Which is fine but they left us standing there for several minutes without any acknowledgement. We were seated in an area that was off to the side and was far from what I would call a prime table even though the restaurant was not busy. The food was good overall ( as expected with the Landry's property). But the french fries were terrible. The Ambiance of the restaurant was pretty neat. Like being in a rainforest. Would I return...... Maybe.

The food was great. Once we finally got a table. Had ana hr and a half wait during which, they had at least 10 to 15 empty, cleaned tables that even had silverware in place. But management must not be capable of managing. But service was great and food was great.

Brought my bother in law and his family here for my niece's birthday and we had a blast. I got my niece and I matching bears from Build A Bear, ate some of the best food on the island at the cafe, and then took a leisurely ride through the rain forest on the Adventure Ride. Be ready to spend time here because before you know it you've spent hours doing all the stuff they have available.

Excellent place to spend family fun moments, very nice, the aquarium is fantastic and the food delicious, it was worth every dollar.

It is a great atmosphere. I give it 4 stars because I didn't not like my dish. It was too bland. Its pricey so bring your wallet. $118 for 4 people with one of them ordering from a kids menu.

Great place to visit in Galveston. Food is good, really recommend their fish tacos & for kids, mines are in love with their mini hotdogs. Our favorite part overall is their River Adventure ride, it's a small short ride but my kids really enjoy it.

Honestly our family was disappointed. The server was kind but the food wasn't very good. We were sat by the waterfall and couldn't hardly hear to converse. Great idea though.

We come here every year for our pre-cruise meal. It s now tradition! :)

Good place to eat with a family fun atmosphere. It's pricey as all of Fertitta's establishments are. It would be nice to not have to save up too have fun, but that's greed for ya.

Outside of the cost I would recommend.

I would recommend this place to anyone not only is the food okay but the environment alone is enough so spend your time there the ride was the best part kids would love it but dose would love it is very beautiful scenery I love the idea I love the gift shop this is by far the best Rainforest Cafe I ever been to I've been to the one and Grapevine it's nothing like this one this is by far and there's a balloon artist that is the best I've ever seen in my life he don't get paid he take tips on it I do recommend you tip him more than $20 cuz he is very much worth it he don't rush he's very fast and he can do some amazing things with balloons bathrooms are clean food is playing me is this a beautiful place

Entertainment was good but ordered the lost city trio and it was a bust.
They ruined a good steak with a sorry tasting sause that was uneatable. The shrimp had some kind of ugly tasting oil on it that again was uneatable.
My wife's chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes were good. This is the only reason I gave it two stars.

Staff wasn't friendly and the wait was nearly an hour. Menu wasn't extensive enough.

Great atmosphere, very family friendly. Appetizer sampler plate was awesome. Had to get the sparkling lava dessert also.

Don't go here for the food, go for the experience. It's pricey and the food is not the greatest. If you have kids it's a good place to go.

Just a great and unique place to visit. If your near by go. It's a little loud but so is the rainforest!

Great place and with the animals and rainforest decor it's one place I'll always love to go to.

Great food. Really need to work on their wifi connection. Ruined a work meeting. But service Nd food was great.

Food was good. It was way too cold inside for me. Loved the atmosphere.

Can't say enough about rainforest food was great the server was great by the time we went to go take the tour the lady didn't give us a chance to adjust ourselves to get a picture and she was quite rude then when you go to buy the picture you're standing at 1 instead of them having a sign saying no you got to go to help you that's not very organization at all

My friends pasta tasted like lean cuisine and was ridiculously overpriced at 21 dollars. My food was okay not great. The drinks were the best part. Was promised an ice cream Sunday for my birthday treat and never received it.

Enjoyed going. It is a fun concept on a Cafe. Food was OK, and price was not bad. The rain storm and animals make it worthwhile with the kids.

Curious place with jungle decoration, even the roof is covered with leaves and branches that cover it giving a feeling of being enclosed. The groups of animals very well achieved and every time they make their characteristic sounds. Every 10 or 15 minutes a storm is simulated with thunder and lightning.
The food is fine and to emphasize the dessert, Volcano ... an experience ask for it.

Great ambience. Friendly staff. The ride was also fun.

I'm giving this place 4 stars because our server was amazing. He was extremely polite and very attentive. I wish I could remember his name. Because he deserves 5 stars. The food is just ok. And I would give it a 3. We started with the nachos which were pretty good. But my salad definitely was not the freshest I've ever had. I had to pick out quite a bit of old lettuce. I also asked for no green onions, and they were everywhere. And the mandarin oranges looked a little smashed. The chicken on the salad was good tho. My husband ordered the Chicken Chimi-cha-chas. He said they were alright. But were served with brown guacamole. Overall, you definitely go here to experience the atmosphere, not so much the food.

Great service, fun atmosphere, staff was great and food was delicious.

Its Rainforest Cafe it's going to be over priced but when you pay that much money for a well done steak I would actully want it well done, not bright pink. The waiter didn't make any effort to help at all. The restuarant is always wonderful looking though.

Great food, service, atmosphere, and so much fun for all ages!

My family and I loved it personally. That day with us we took our pet. A very quiet chihuahua in my bag. The staff at Hay noticed that she was coming with me and they let us through with her. That same day another person entered with his pet that was very large. In the same way he entered. Almost no restaurant would allow something like that. This if as long as the pets are silent .. I was delighted with this restaurant ... I highly recommend it ..

Really fun place with a rainforest them. There is a ride inside, gift shop and some fish tanks. The dining area is cool too with the different things going on. Really family fun place to bring the kids. Prices are reasonable and the service and experience is great.

Food was good.
Hated the really long hour wait.

I bought the BLUE CORONARITA thinking it was a souvenir glass option which it was not please update your drink menu so nobody is confused about this drink

I sat at the bar and got great service. The manager helped me with not losing my points on my Loyalty card. It was a great treat to finally visit their restaurant.

We had the best first experience, our waiter Sergio was so nice and funny. He gave advice on what foods to get and his choices were very outstanding. We differently will come back on our next trip to Galveston.

The whole experience was amazing. It was both my husband and I first time going there and we absolutely loved it. The whole rain forest theme is really unique.

Waiter was great. Food was so-so. Chicken in the chicken sandwich was very dry. Menu selection was greatly reduced. I understand about Covid, but if you reduce your menu, what is left should be great. Animatronics need repairs. Ripped and jerky movements on the ride make it scary in an unintended way.

This is the second Rainforest Cafe and it was as entertaining as the one in Dallas. The service and dining experience was excellent and the food was outstanding. Dining under a jungle canopy complete with animal noises and thunderstorms is just awesome! Our waiter was timely and attentive and very friendly. Side note... If you have kids over the age of 10 then skip the kids menu and get a regular plate. The child portions seem woefully inadequate. All in all a great dining experience, especially if you want more than just a table to stuff your face at.

Almost everything was great. The only problem was something that can easily be fixed. The tortilla on my second taco was so hard to bite through whereas the first one was perfectly fine everything else from the ride to the waitress was great. Would definitely eat here again.

Me and my girlfriend both got very sick after eating here over spring break!

Food is always good here service is a hit and miss but usually ok. We will be back and do recommend this place to others it's great for kids

This is a typical Rainforest restaurant, the "jungle" ambiance is just awesome and very unique, even outside the restaurant they have a very colorful "volcano" simulation, with great sound and special effects. If you take the optional jungle tour inside, it can be fun for the little kids. We went there on a Friday night, so the place was very crowded, despite the fact that is a very big restaurant. You may have a long wait before being seated. I like seafood, but the dish I ordered was only so-so. My daughter wasn't too excited about hers either. They also have the typical burgers, salads and sandwiches if you don't want seafood. Overall, I recommend going to this place for the unique atmosphere and decor, but maybe not so much for the food.

Busy but we'll worth the wait. Great food and a fun atmosphere for the whole family

To long a wait, didn't even stay. Fun place when I've been in the past. Expensive.

Good atmosphere, good place, very tasty food and the shop behind the restaurant has plenty of very beautiful things for gifts or souvenirs.

Food is okay but over-priced. Service was good. The animatronic animals are dated & fake foliage very dusty. The lighting is very dark. But a fun experience for the kids. Worth it for a one-time experience.

Robin is a very friendly server great place for the kids

First time there. Was a 20 min wait as a rewards member, which was fine. Manager brought us our drinks and took our order. Our waiter had food brought out by others. Only came by twice to ask if we needed anything. Poor quality, overpriced food. Save your money. Glad I didn't bring my two youngest kiddos. Disappointing. The underground lazy river ride was the best part

Food is over priced for what you get. Staff was pleasant though. Music was loud, so everyone had to be loud to hold conversations

Food is always good here service is a hit and miss but usually ok. We will be back and do recommend this place to others it's great for kids

The food was good; the waiter was excellent considering the chaos and overstimulation that you have to endure since the Rainforest Cafe is a noisy plastic jungle, but the kids had fun, and it is an experience that you have to "enjoy" at least once.

Great place to take kids for a birthday great food but can be a little pricey. Love this place through

parking lot is absolutely horrible; nearly impossible to get around it, much less find a space

Family friendly, flavorful food, and exceptional service.
