We had such a great experience at the Rainforest Cafe thanks to our server, Michael! He was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our family had a wonderful visit. My daughter didn't like the cavatappi noodles that came with her meal, and Michael happily switched them out for different noodles without any hesitation. That small act made a big difference and meant a lot to us as parents. Michael was patient, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Excellent service like that truly stands out. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable! read more

First, I would recommend making a reservation , especially if you have a party of more than four. It just makes the check in and waiting process much less stressful. As for the food, the quality at this location was AMAZING. Their Rainforest Burger is a classic and has never failed me personally. Would also highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip and their cheese curds from the "Awesome Appetizer". We went for dinner last night and again for lunch today because the food was just excellent and the experience is like nowhere else. Several drinks have free collectible cups you can collect after you dine by asking the bar and showing them the specific drinks on your receipt. The menu details which drinks come with these "souvenir glasses." This location has the River Ride which is super cool and exciting! There's tons of full scale animatronic animals throughout a pretty relaxed lazy river type ride. The ride lasts 10-15 minutes max, but so worth it! There is also a full service build-a-bear workshop location inside the gift-shop which is super fun and has all rainforest themed build-a-bears plus some non-rainforest-themed plush animals to choose from. The build-a-bear accessories and clothes have just about the same variety of options to choose from as a medium sized retail location like in a mall for example. Shoutout to Justin the Photographer. He was enthusiastic and helped bring that enthusiastic to energy everyone there when we went both times. read more

When you walk in, you definitely feel like you're in the rainforest. The elephants and chimpanzees are moving periodically. The ambiance is superb. Every 30 mins there is a thunderstorm. Food was amazing. The chef came out to meet my colleague who had a food allergy. He wanted to make sure she didn't order anything that would cause a reaction. Great experience. read more

Hands down the best thing in Galveston lol - ever since the YouTube video of the 2 guys who roadtripped and ate at every single Rainforest cafe, I've wanted to come to this one. Badly. Why? Bc there's a flipping RIDE inside a restaurant. Like an amusement park quality ride! The service is decent, the food is okay. But really, you're coming here for all the magic that is the Rainforest Cafe: thunderstorms, waterfalls, the glorious fish, monkeys - and the wandering Cha Cha , balloon guy and face painter. This Rainforest Cafe even has a dude inside the store doing caricatures! After our afternoon wandering around Galveston I have to say this is the top thing to do here. If you have nostalgia for a Rainforest Cafe, this is the best one! read more

We love this place! The food is great, all the stuff is very nice , specially Ibrahim, very attentive, thank you so much

Michael our server was amazing, he made sure we were taken care off. The food was also delicious as always. Our kids love coming to rainforest in Galveston. read more

Fun spot for kids, and the atmosphere is definitely the highlight--tons of jungle vibes, animals, and excitement that keeps them entertained. Service was good and the staff was friendly. It is pretty loud though, so it can be hard to have a conversation. The food was pretty basic and didn't really stand out for the price. Great for the experience, not so much for the meal. read more

Much better than our previous time a few years ago. I got the fish and chips and my wife got the shrimp tacos. The fish were huge the pictures make it look small but they were a good 8-10 inches. While they had a lot of red cabbage my wife enjoyed her tacos. All the food was very good. Kimberly was an amazing waitress! My nephew didn't like the animals and was scared of them. She asked to move us to a different table away from the animals and made my nephew much happier. The food was correct,she paid attention to our drinks and being willing to move to another table was the cherry on top! Of course the restaurant was so cool with the atmosphere. We'll be back next time we're around. read more

Had dinner on a weekday and it was not too busy. It is loud with the rainforest and animal sound effects, but still able to hear the conversations at the table. Ordered the Rumble In The Jungle Turkey Wrap, which came with a choice of side. It was pretty overpriced for just a wrap though. Our food also took a while to come out even though it wasn't very busy. The service was not the best read more

Although we had to wait one hour and 15 minutes to be seated, it was definitely worth it! We ended up spending some of our time of the wait doing the boat ride. It is definitely worth the money for the ride, especially when your kids get really excited and happy to see what's inside! We were seated and our waiter came out and quickly took our order and while waiting for the food to come out, the frog came walking around to the tables greeting the kids. He came and gave my three year-old a hug which was the sweetest thing because it definitely made his night! There was also a face painter who was walking around who painted my three littles faces in the animal of their choice. My three-year-old is very picky and rarely eats anything we order from a restaurant for him, but he devoured the cheese pizza. My entire family enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and service we experienced that night! We also had to try the volcano we saw everyone getting delivered to their tables. It was scrumptious and chocolatey! Definitely a must try if you go there. I do have to add that I ordered the ribs. They weren't the best, but they also weren't the worst. If you had to choose between the ribs and something else from their menu, I would suggest you pick the other choice and skip the ribs. read more

This was our family's first time eating at Rainforest Cafe in Galveston and it was an amazing experience. My husband and I thought we made a huge mistake in the beginning with bringing our 2 yr old and 3 yr old because they were fussy, but our waitress Yamile was very patient and so helpful. She offered to get the kids their meals first so they could eat. The manager, Carmen, was the sweetest!! She checked in and we got to talking about how it was our first time there and she asked how the kids were. My son loved the fish aquarium and daughter was so happy to see the gorillas and elephants. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and Alfredo python pasta for the kids, they quietly ate so it must have been delicious. I ordered the Beef Lava nachos, which were delicious. They were loaded with peppers, onions, black beans, and had the best cheese combination. The chips were thin which made for the perfect crunch. My husband got the Southern Cross Lasagna, it was something newer on the menu. He normally isn't a lasagna eater but told me the picture on the menu sold him and he loved it. Towards the end of the meal Carmen came over and handed us our ticket where she had written for 4 passes for the river ride to go to, it was so unexpected and so sweet, I definitely shed some tears from her kind gesture. She really is an amazing woman and cares a lot about the cafe. I highly recommend going for the experience, we will definitely be coming back again when we vacation here. read more

I wasn't expecting much from a chain full of props in Galveston, but Rainforest Cafe really surprised me! We came on a Sunday during Labor Day weekend, around 12:15 and there was a 40 minute wait. Note that you can call ahead and reserve before you leave the beach! Located conveniently on the seawall, this was on the way headed back to 45, so that was nice. Upon entrance, you're greeted with the Rainforest Cafe shop. Beware if you have kids, they will want something. There is an indoor river ride for $10 per person (kids 2 and under ride free) that uses animatronic animals as you float along in a little boat. My son thought it might be a bit scary so we opted to not ride it. There is also a guy doing caricatures and he was really good, albeit pricey - our family of 4 would have been $50 for black and white. The wait ended up being only 30 minutes and once seated, we were greeted immediately. We ordered the Awesome Appetizer Adventure ($23.99) which comes with chimi-cha-chas, spinach and artichoke dip, mozzarella sticks and chicken strips. This was LARGE. We had 3 adults and 3 kids and it was more than enough of an appetizer for us. It could be two meals. I ordered the Rasta Pasta, which had a pesto Alfredo sauce with bell peppers, broccoli, spinach and chicken. It was really good and also quite large! The ambiance is exactly as pictured - a dark interior with statues of the forest animals everywhere. The frog mascot came around every so often and took pictures with kids. Overall, a fun place to do once for novelty when you're in Galveston! read more
