Liz is friendly and amazing! She took care of us on a Sunday lunch with her can do attitude. Highly recommend asking for her. She's sweet and an excellent server.

This place is so fun! I did not expect to enjoy my trip this much. I got the Amazon Bruschetta and the Nacho plate. Both were quite large servings, too much for one person to eat all of, for sure! They were surprisingly flavorful, and I enjoyed them! The animatromics are in great condition, and the vibe and the storm sounds were so fun. If you are in the area I say definitely stop by! There was a separate bar area, and many dining tables. There is a gift shop at the front of the restaurant. There are a handful of vegetarian options, no vegan options, and some items can be adjusted to make them vegetarian, such as the nachos.

Exciting. Exciting. Exciting, especially for kids. They went above and beyond themselves with the rainforest theme. Went with my friend and our kids, 4 year olds, and they loved loved loved it. The make-belief animals, the thunderstorms rvery 30 minutes, the roaring tigers, etc. The entrance is a shop with rainforest themed mersh. Amazing ideas. Also, the service was great, fantastic, I must say. The waiters were attentive, smiling, and all-around good. The food was yummy, too. I had the coco-colada. The kids had chocolate milk and lemonade. I had the seafood sample platter (called taste of the island), and it was sumptuous. Shrimp made in 3 ways was served with island rice. My kid had the mac&cheese and side of corn. Beautiful place, very kid friendly, and exciting to be at. You should go. There is at least a 45-minute wait time for walk-ins, so a reservation is HIGHLY recommended.

Very nice restaurant with Safari theme. Swinging monkeys, elephants moving their ears, even some drinks go to special cups, mine looked like a parrot. Little pricey, but worth it. Just think menu should include prices.

Yesterday was our last daughter’s first birthday! This one was super special and Berkeley made it even more special for us. Our daughter loved our server and the food! My son and husband have never been to rainforest Cafe. This was definitely an experience! We came to Dallas to celebrate our daughter’s birthday and visit with my grandmother. Berkeley made this day super special for all of us. This woman deserves a raise. Thank you for making our day so special!

Had a great time at Rain Forest Cafe. The food isn’t bad but we go for more of the atmosphere of course. It was my son’s birthday and our waitress was amazing! She was attentive and really made his birthday special! We drove to Dallas from OKC just so he could have his birthday dinner here so thanks for the great evening RFC!

We went here after finishing up at Meow Wolf. Party of 5. It was super crowded, but I'd never been to a Rainforest Cafe before, and we wanted to check it out. The atmosphere was definitely cool and visually appealing. The food was good but nothing fantastic. Service was good but food took awhile bc they were packed. I think I'd visit again for the atmosphere alone.
