Our waiter Michael did an amazing job making sure we were never waiting on him with ordering, we never ran out of water, and even sent over the balloon guy for my daughter! The wait was long, 30 mins, but we walked through the gift shop and the time flew by. I ordered the blackened fish tacos - they were well worth the money! Each taco had its own little filet. The ambiance though, is of course what you go to Rainforest Cafe for. There were lightning storms, moving animals in the ceiling and on the walls, and several fish tanks. My daughter had an amazing time. read more

Had a lovely time celebrating my birthday in such a unique and fun restaurant. Food was great - especially the VOLCANO. Our server Michael made us feel very welcome and was great at making sure we had everything we needed. read more

Rainforest Cafe - Table location - American Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I love the rainforest cafe, the ambiance is amazing and feels like a different world. Now the restaurant needs improvement. The waitress was not really friendly, she was rushing us. The food was unpleasant, it's like expensive frozen food. I get that it's pricey to help maintain the whole building. But it was not tasty. read more

This used to be one of our favorite places in Galveston, and I want to love it! Unfortunately, there are too many problems for me to leave it a favorable review. The service is fine. The atmosphere is what this chain is known for- the animatronic animals, the storms, etc. All of this is still happening. My issue is the food. The food has gotten so expensive that it's simply not feasible, and the food was never very good. Now they have tried to elevate the menu, so there are no simple options for someone seeking to just enjoy a nice meal in the atmosphere. It's a really fun place, I just wish the food were more enjoyable for the money. read more

When we visited the rainforest cafe around 4 pm on a Saturday, the wait was 40 minutes for a table for two! Thankfully, there was open seating at the bar (we were starving). The service was quick -- we were served our drinks and food quickly -- but I did feel the ambiance was a bit off for the high prices we paid (80ish dollars altogether). I kept catching whiffs of chlorine from the drip waterfall decor they had. The food was great-- we had cheese curds that were very tasty and I got a pastalaya, which is basically jambalaya but on linguine. Tasted pretty similar to a typical jambalaya and it was interesting for sure. My partners burger looked a bit sad for 22 dollars, the bun looked a bit soggy and crumpled. Overall nice pit stop but a bit pricey for the food. The environment was cool though and I could see it being a hit with young kids! read more

Extremely busy place since it's the only Rainforest Cafe in Houston now and it is the only one with a "water" ride. They don't take cash in the gift shop to pay for the ride or any souvenirs but they take cash inside the restaurant. Hmm.. ok. We went to the host stand to get our table and she told me it was going to be a 45 min to an hour wait. Ok. Then I showed her my Landry's member card & she sarcastically told me "that's going to earn you 20 minutes off your wait time" and I was like okay thanks hun. She was not a very inviting host. On to the food/waiter/restaurant... it was mid. They have people coming around bothering you with a picture (extra charge) and then a balloon guy (optional tip) and then a face painter (another extra charge/extra tip). Like come on, this is too overwhelming. We're trying to eat and enjoy the ambiance of this rainforest cafe and you have so many people walking around trying to get more business. Our first server took our drinks and was a rude. She definitely did not want to be there. Our second server was pleasant and he continued to be our server for the rest of the experience. Thank goodness. Drinks were super sweet. The coconut shrimp had too much coconut and my steak was not medium-medium rare. We paid $45 for this ride for 4 people and they don't even check the tickets. We could've just rode the ride for free. It was cute though but the place looked really old and ready for a remodel. 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

Love this place for breakfast on the island! Nothing like the vibrant, fun atmosphere of the Rainforest Cafe. Brought our kids here when they were little and they still enjoy it as adults! Unlike most breakfast restaurants on the island, they take reservations so you don't have to wait. We appreciated the great service from Michael who provided fast, friendly and efficient service. read more

Michael was a great and attentive server! Food and experience was top notch for kids and adults!

If you're looking for overpriced food that is not good, this is the place for you!!! Server was good, food was terrible.

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 were celebrating our anniversary so my wife wanted to try rain forest Cafe. There is honestly nothing I can say good about the experience that ruin our anniversary night. The entire place is a tourist trap. It's incredibly dated decor and sad animatronics are so outdated. The waitress could barely speak English. She took our order by pointing at pictures. We ordered sad smoothies that came with a lighted glasses that you keep that ended being plastic junk. After 30 minutes our entree arrives...and I ask where the appetizers were...they showed up 2 minutes later. I asked why they came after the entree and she shrugged. So we had food stacked all over the table...entrees getting cold...good thing the cheese curds and the mozzarella flatbread we decent because the entrees were basically horrible. My wife ordered the shrimp 3 ways...all the shrimp we cooked some place beyond overcooked into golf ball consistency. The side dish was the absolute worst version a rice dish ever.. it was supposed to be some version of rice and red beans...well it was as sweet as rice pudding with kidney beans running thru it...your brain say no way in hell! My entree was Coconut crusted flounder and shrimp..guess what? The shrimp was just as over cooked and the flounder had zero flavor...could have been Coconut covered paper towel...which would have potential to actually be better if there was seasoning. I stated my displeasure to the waitress several times about everything all to a blank stare. Even ky 11 year old soon said the place was ridiculous...his mushy fries and he said stupid animal sounds. Overall I wish I could forget this experience ever happened and picked any of the other fine galveston places to eat. Certainly would have cost less than $150. read more

Our server Michael was very attentive and helpful!! We would recommend him to anyone and ask for him next time!

If You are ever in Galveston, Texas you have to go to the rainforest Café. We were looking for a breakfast spot. We went to Waffle House. It was packed then we went to IHOP. It was packed too. Then We looked over across the street and saw the rainforest, had no idea what to expect and when I say, we were excited about the prospect! it was so fun and the ride through the rainforest is a must do ! highly recommend read more

Food was okay, but the atmosphere, animals, storms and especially our server Michael made it an amazing experience

Galveston was my 7 year olds pick because of the cafe and ride (she saw on YouTube). It's been a really long time since I've eaten here and wasn't sure what to expect but we had lunch and breakfast which we're both delish. The ride is a fun little add on. Michael was our server today for breakfast and he was great and attentive! read more

Food was great. Micheal was awesome. Excellent customer service. I definitely recommend it.

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

I had such a fun experience at the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston! From the moment you walk in, it really feels like stepping into a jungle. The atmosphere is honestly the star of the show. The animals move, the thunderstorms roll through every so often, and the whole place is full of little details that make it feel magical. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and our server made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. The food came out quickly and everything tasted great. Portions were generous and the drinks were perfect after a long day walking around Galveston. If you're visiting the island, this is such a fun stop, especially if you're with family or friends. Even as adults we had a blast just taking in the atmosphere and exploring the restaurant. It's one of those places that makes the whole experience feel like part of the adventure. Definitely a must visit when you're in Galveston. I'll absolutely be coming back next time I'm on the island! read more

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

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

Unless you have a plan to keep yourself busy around the area, the wait time makes this experience not worth it. We waited for ~1.5 hours to be seated and eventually decided to get tickets for the ride to make it bearable. There turned out to be a significant wait time to get on the ride and by the time it was close to being our turn, we got a text saying that our table was ready. The food was good but not memorable, definitely not worth the price but I guess you're paying for the rainforest gimmick. Our server did a great job and checked in on us a few times despite how busy it was. Conveniently enough, by the time we were done with our meal and went back to get on the ride, there was no wait time. It was cool to check out but it wasn't anything spectacular. In retrospect, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. For the price and wait time, I'm sure there are better options. read more

Rainforest Cafe - Bbq Bacon Cheeseburger - American Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I came to Rainforest Cafe today and from the moment I walked in I experienced horrible service. The hostess did not greet me only said "yes" with sass. Then my appetizer came 10 minutes after my main course, I did not even want it anymore. Next, the woman who took our complimentary picture seemed as if she did not know how to speak and explain what she was doing. Next, I was not informed that getting a strawberry lemonade required buying a 10$ cup and I was not informed of this until I received the bill and waitress had an attitude the entire time. Lastly, the food was not up to standard. I ordered the python pasta and it had no seasoning. read more
