    We had a wonderful time at the Rainforest Cafe! I had 7 of my grandchildren with me plus husband and sister in law- they sat the 10 of us promptly, and our waitress, knowing the kids were hungry, got our order in ASAP. The kids loved the food- mini cheeseburgers, Mac n cheese and pizzas! All of tge kids ordered tge fruit which was FRESH, not a fruit cocktail cup! Our Adult meals were equally delicious. The service was great - food delicious and atmosphere so much fun for the kids!

    Our server was outstanding. Food was delicious, order was accurate and received in an acceptable timeframe given how busy it was for lunch. Kids loved the atmosphere and overall vibe. Also bought from the gift shop.
