Great place to go with kids. The food was very tasty and they had a great variety to chose from. The service was quick even though they were very busy. Fantastic atmosphere... I would recommend to go here to anyone who wants good food and a different atmosphere.
Extremely slow service, waited 2 1/2 HOURS!!just to be seated.
High prices for average food. The kids love the experience though and the Adventure Boat Ride is neat. Definitely enjoyable for the family, if you are okay with dropping some cash.
Extremely busy and crowded. The hostess wasn't very friendly. We ended up leaving without getting anything.
I am giving the 5 stars not because the good food and amazing place to eat that surrounded with different animals, I am rating 5 stars because of the ride that it s really nice and make your visit different and worthy.
Good job Rain forests
We love the environment and always have a fantastic time eating here!
Food was great, service was great, and the energy of the Rainforest Cafe, was magnificent!!! But the seating needs a little work. Other than that it was wonderful!
Awesome place! The food is a little overpriced but the staff and atmosphere really makes up for it!
Food was excellent , and the River Ride was the best. Big soviener shop. I would give it 10 stars .
We are members of Rainforest Cafe for at least 3 years, we have taken my mother, sister, guests and we were very displeased with the food. My wife and I had 2 meals with steak and shrimp for $28.00 each and a visitor from Mexico City ate something else. The shrimp were no longer than the smallest finger in my hand. The meat was tough, and was not cooked according to the way we wanted. The largest portion was the mash potatoes and still had empty spaces on the plate. A person does not mind paying for what you eat, but this is not acceptable. The volcano did not work that day the only thing that out guest saw was fire coming from the top of the volcano. The waitress was very kind she was from the Ukraine, I think. This will probably be the last time we visit or take a guest to this restaurant.
Very kid friendly. Awesome atmosphere. Food was good
Me and family had a great time here. The food was delicious.
My boys really enjoyed it and we had a great time. However the food was cold, bland, and my scallops were inedible. Very high prices for not great food. But it was fun so we would go back....just not to this location. Grapevine was much better. Also, take a pass on the dirt and worm pudding, it had a weird flavor and neither of my toddlers would eat it despite being chocolate and candy
The most delicious restaurant I've ever been to. The service is at the highest level. You get into the animal world.
That was so awesome. That waitress got my granddaughter to go with her to see the gorillas and she never goes with anyone. Thank you
The kids enjoy their adventures food wasn't too bad
This is the best rainforest Cafe I've been to the food was great and the atmosphere was also great fun for the whole family plus they had a street performance out side which was awesome.
All cool! The only thing that in the end we thought that the tip was already included in the bill, as usual they charge 25% or around, but when we left we were approached by the restaurant supervisor that why we had not left the waitress tip, that if He had treated us badly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, we told him that we thought he was already charged on the bill, that we didn't know, and the waitress was very friendly.
I HAD NEVER SEEN A RESTAURANT THAT ALMOST YOU, ALMOST, MUST MAKE A TIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so AWESOME my husband won me this pink monkey he's so cute. We had to wait for quite awhile but there is so much to do and see that time passes pretty quickly. Plus every 10-15 minutes the volcano erupts, and it thunders and rains. There are also these huge fish tanks with pretty saltwater fish in them. If you are ever in Galveston Texas you have to take the time to visit the Rainforest Cafe. Remember to call for a reservation at least a day ahead. That way your wait won't be too long.But even if you do have to wait it's TOTALLY worth it.
Great place for a special meal with the family! Grandkids loved it. Service is outstanding. Don't miss the ride on the way out!
Me and my children absolutely love the atmosphere in this place it's amazing and it makes the imagination go wild!
The ride wasn't good enough and I also expected to get good food for a low price but instead I had to pay $40 for appetizers wouldn't recommend
Food is way to basic
My 8yr old and 6yr old really didn't care for the food or the environment
All your doing is paying for location jungle music and moving robot animals
Mediocre food, overpriced
Husbands burger was cold, my meal was forgotten and didn t come till we were ready to leave
Only meal that was right was the kids meal
We ordered one meal to go but it came out with the rest of the food and had to box myself
Waitress didn t stick around long enough for me to even complain or tell her to just forget my food order so we could leave :( 80 bucks for a meal I didn t even eat and family didn t enjoy
The atmosphere was phenomenal! My server, Tyler, was very attentive! The food was great!
Great food. LARGE portions. A bit on the pricey side, but hey, you're paying for the experience and in a high-traffic tourist area.
They We're about to shut down nights and allowed us still come in with Table of 4. Food was perfect. Service was excellent
Thank you for such a good experience. My boyfriend took me out to eat for dinner Saturday night. Our waitress Camila was the best. And the biggest surprise of it all was my BF proposed to me at the restaurant. Food was great, even though I took my steak home and my bf was too excited about me saying yes that he threw the food in the trash lol but above all. Everything was great.
The family and I were very excited to come here. We came early in a weekday so there was not a long wait time. We ordered a sampler appetizer and it was the better tasting of all the food. My son ordered an a hamburger and asked for no cheese. When we got our food the waiter set down his plate and said oh looks like it has cheese he offered to take it back and remake but I scrapped it off. My husband ordered the coconut shrimp and asked for the pineapple dipping sauce that it come with. They brought him taco sauce. He asked agai if they had the pineapple dip and the waiter said sorry we are out. Not sure why they didn t say that the first time. Our total bill came out to be $135 and it was not worth it. Very poor customer service. Had to ask for refills. Sad we wasted our time and money here.
My wife and I had a very pleasant experience, the atmosphere was a nice change, the food was absolutely amazing. The staff was above and beyond.
Great ambience but the food could use some tweaking
Food is over priced and tasted less satisfying than food off the dollar menu at any given fast food restaurant. Drinks are sugary and extremely over priced as well. Save your time and money, id rather eat a lunchable on the beach... at least ill get what I pay for.
Rainforest cafe in Galveston s is amazing. I love that they have a ride it is so cool. The food personally I m not the biggest fan but it a nice place for kids and the fact that is all about the rainforest is awesome.
There was a frog mascot they had fake noise as a thunderstorm
So fun! The river ride was much more than I expected it to be, and the service was excellent and quick even on a busy night!
Grandkids love this place and I got really good food there surprisingly. Staff was good as well
Food is pretty good. I'm not into sweets, but my girlfriend loves the volcano dessert.
Can you say "food poisoning". Went to this restaurant. My husband and I shared a plate. I got food poisoning. He ate the fried shrimp and I ate the shrimp and scallops. On top of that shrimp was burned and the staff was rude. If you love your family go someplace else
You're paying for the experience, not the food. Food is mediocre, but the atmosphere is very good. Service was wonderful, very knowledgeable and friendly.
They forgot my order, but they were prompt about fixing it.
Very good food , Very nice restaurant !!! but the time for getting a table is to long sometimes
Great experience for the family. Rather pricey in my opinion- portion sizes definetly need to increase for the price. Otherwise great experience. The drinks are WEAK!
My little ones love it here its looks awesome and loved the river too
Short staffed almost 2hr before we got our food....but the food was pretty good
One of the places that is fun dinning with the kids. They love all the animals, and one weekends during afternoon and night they always have somthing festive going on in front of the restraunt. The service is very good, and the food it good as well. The gift shop is has reasonable prices, and the ride is so much fun especially during Halloween.
Food and service was excellent...dining room was freezing cold..we had to wear our heavy coats to eat..wouldn't hurt to turn on some heat and warm it up a bit...Rainforest? Warm?
Completely horrible experience. First even though the restaurant was at only 40% occupancy my wife and I had to wait to be seated because two teenage girls ran past us in the store section to beat us to the hostess station. The teenage girls requested a table for 15 and the staff immediately went to work building this table out of 4 other tables. As plenty of regular tables sat free my wife and I waited as staff spent time on a group that wasn't even in the restaurant yet. After about 8 minutes at the hostess station my wife and I were seated. After another 10 minutes of waiting a manager comes over and asks if we've been helped. After telling her no she seemed aloof and not to concerned. So the wife and I waited another 5 or 6 minutes with no help we decided to leave, on the way out the manager couldn't understand why we were leaving and told us we should be more patient and someone was eventually going to help us. Being laundry select members we've never felt with this level of disrespect in one of Tillman's restaurants. Avoid going there at all costs.
Let me start by saying this place is not wallet friendly at all. Be prepared to spend. With that being said. Atmosphere was fun and lively, staff was friendly and the food was very tasty. Of course we had fun, isn't that what theme restaurants are about?
Unique place.
Long wait and noisy..
Staff is friendly and food is good
Staff brought my food wrong twice. Very bad experience
Loved the food, the atmosphere, and the staff. Had a great time, even while waiting for our table. It's pricey, but the food is good, and the experience is probably worth the extra price. Our kids love it, and we have a good time also.
It is a good place to eat, but if you have seen one you have seem them all, if you are in Galveston, eat local.
This use to be a great place. But the staff sucks nowadays, my daughter's food was a tad spicy but to her it's hot and I let my waitress know and she's like well there's no seasonings on there's. Ooo I almost lost it.
It was incredibly hard to enjoy the rainforest cafe. It was very overwhelming with all the rainforest sounds in addition to music blaring over the speakers. It is just too much. You have to basically yell to carry a conversation.
Very touristy but the food is decent and prices are not as bad as most places around the seawall.
Kids love this place, which is why we went. It's otherwise OK - aside from the occasional 'thunderstorm', it seemed like everyone was having a birthday. So...if you're eating a later dinner with young kids after a day at Palm Beach, this may not be the best place to end your day due to the almost constant noise (i.e. above normal ambient restaurant noise). The food was decent, and the selections were good. If you have kids and don't mind the noise, go wild.
The Best Birthday I had food was delicious and the service was good. Very friendly environment.
Great steak and shrimp plate. Had a mixed drink and was perfect for the beach atmosphere.
The place is nice and neat. The food is terrible . No taste , no quality . The serve canned food and fruits .
Kids loved the decore.
Find a different place to eat .
The Rainforest cafe is excellent! The ahi poke was a pleasant, delicious, healthy surprise and the shrimp platter did not disappoint! Plus it's such a fun environment. We will be back!
3 hours wait for mediocre expensive food? No thanks.
Food is way overpriced. Not worth going but once or twice.
Other than the food and price of the food it was good. The ride inside was cool. Just the food is over priced, and was not that good. And the mixed drinks was not good as we did not taste the alcohol in it at all, just tasted pinapple juice.
Friendly staff, good food, kids had fun on the river ride and in the restaurant. Only down side was that we called in the morning and made a reservation, but when we got there we were told we still had to wait in line with everyone else...why even offer reservations if you make us wait in line for a half hour anyway??? We asked multiple staff members to be sure, and they told us to wait in line.
OMG was so awesome, the animals in there look so really and move and make noises. And there was a build a bear inside of it. the workers where so amazingly sweet to all my friends and I. They even went out of there way to fix one of my old build a bear babies for free. U should definitely stop by u'll have a great time.
I love this place! Food is pretty over-priced but it's a great experience.
Very entertaining atmosphere, nice selection of apps and meals. Friendly staff and attentive service. Would try again.
