    Food was delicious and dessert was even better. We went twice! Service was pretty good and friendly and not too much of a wait.

    Waited 30 minutes for the server to return to get our orders. Half of the orders were wrong. Food mediocre at best. Would not recommend.

    What a cute place! My husband and I were staying at a flat next door and passed Freddy's every time…read morewe came and went, and on our last night in Paris we decided to go ahead and give them a try because we appreciate good BBQ and were curious to try it in France. We each got the combo platter that allowed us to try multiple meats and sides, and I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the meat. Especially the brisket, a particular favorite of mine when it comes to BBQ. The mac and cheese was a solid side, but the coleslaw was underwhelming. As Americans, yes, we expect large portions. I've been to Europe often enough to manage those expectations pretty well, so I was also pleased when we each reached a comfortable stopping point and were able to get takeaway boxes for our leftovers. I know it's traditionally trés gauche to take leftovers from French restaurants, but I was happy to see that the trend is catching on. After all, not wasting food is a good thing, is it not? We carried those leftovers all the way to Amsterdam the next day--that's how much we wanted to finish them. We opted to sit in the terrace seating that has a suspended plank for a table so that we could people watch Rue St. Denis, a busy street in this arrondissement. It's in a great neighborhood that was vibrant and full of life, even in the wake of the pandemic. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to try good Texas style BBQ in the middle of Paris.

Since we are from Texas we had low expectations but we were wrong. Freddy's BBQ Serves excellent BBQ THAT WOULD COMPETE WITH ANY IN Texas Or Tennessee! The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender and juicy! The pulled pork was fantastic and the ribs were solid! We had all the sides and loved them The two pitmasters are trained and from Texas and Oklahoma So you know they know what real BBQ is!

    I am aware that you should not expect 5 star service and food from a tourist chain such as…read moreRainforest Cafe, however our experience at this location was pretty poor. First and foremost, we waited nearly 20 minutes after being seated before anyone came to serve us, despite flagging people down multiple times. Similarly, we had trouble getting service when we needed more drinks or to pay our bill which was almost an issue as we were trying to catch a shuttle bus at a specific time. I understand that in Europe, especially France, it's not uncommon for servers to leave you alone until you need them but here we were essentially ignored. Luckily the food was edible, although edible is the only praise I would give it. It was not very tasty or well presented. This was not a Rainforest Cafe experience I would recommend and I hope ours was an outlier.

    Soooooooooo, This…read morereally ruined rainforest cafes for me. I get it, we aren't in the states, and things are done differently in other countries ... buttttt just no. We paid 27€ for a steak plate ... anddd it was eaten within 5 bites. it was THIN, no flavor, and all around horrible. Now a simple fish and chips, shouldn't have been messed up right? WRONG! Why was it dripping in oil! It made me so sad, whenever I asked for malt vinegar our waitress gave me the dumbest look and walked away, never coming back. Now, we tried coming to eat here the night before and it was PACKED. So we decided we'd try again the next day and try to make it before a lunch rush, and we did just that! We came in, and there was only 9 other families dining. We thought we'd get great service and all. Wasn't the case. Waited 20 minutes for water and a coke, the alcoholic beverage came at the end of the meal, we just wanted to leave because we just couldn't even order any food. There were sooo many people working! And it was like no one was being helped. However I still love the thunderstorms and how the animals move, that's the ONLY reason I gave this place a second star.

    Des fois se fier aux autres review, c'est important. J'ai lut à plusieurs endroits des review pas…read moretrès positif sur ce restaurant et j'ai comprit. Le positif. L'accueil était bien, rapide et courtois. L'endroit est quand même grand mais c'était (trop?) vide, peut-être parce qu'il était uniquement 17h. Maintenant le reste. Nous avons prit le meal plan qui inclus entrée, repas et dessert. Comme entrée, la salade Steakhouse césar. La salade elle même était bien mais elle est venu avec du poulet pané qui semblait être du réchauffer de la veille. Très gros contraste avec la salade qui était fraîche. En même temps, on nous a donner 2 petit pain. C'était tellement dur que j'ai eu tout la difficulté à entrer mon couteau dedans et quand j'ai réussi, ça fait le bruit de casser une brique! Ensuite le repas principal. J'ai prit les travers de porc fumé aussi appeler côté levée ou ribs. La viande était très très grasses avec des gros morceaux de nerfs, vraiment pas agréable. Le porc lui même n'était pas tendre ou juteux et la viande semble cuite avec aucun assaisonnement. La sauce bbq qui vient sans un petit pot était bienvenue mais je n'ai pas réussi à mangé le plat plus qu'à moitié. La patate qui vient avec est une patate où l'intérieur est mise en purée avec de la crème et du cheddar. Si vous aimez la crème et le cheddar, vous allez aimé sinon comme moi, une bouché à suffit pour ne pas continuer. Ma conjointe a prit les pâte saumon et elle a dit que c'était passable tout au plus. Pour le dessert, j'ai prit le gâteau au chocolat qui vient avec une sauce à la vanille sur le côté. C'était un gâteau bien normal que l'on retrouve dans les restaurant cheap. Un gâteau style "pain" au chocolat qui goûte rien séparer en 2 par un mini crémage et avec un crémage sur le dessus qui est très subtile. L'impression de mâcher de l'air. Le chocolat rouler sur le dessus était bon et la crème de vanille. Ma conjointe a prit la crème de vanille et c'était encore une fois passable. À peine de garniture vers le centre sinon c'était comme un pouding bien normal. A ce prix, un des endroits le plus cher à Disney après les character dining, on s'attend à bien mieux. Passé, aller ailleurs. Je ne dis pas ça souvent mais ici, c'est ça.

    The ambiance is good and feels like luxury but the service certainly isn't. We didn't even get to…read moreeat the main menu just the appetizer because they took over an hour and a half to bring the food. We asked for the check and left. Didn't even check in on us we had to walk and find her so we could leave.
