    My fiancé and I were looking a quick bite. Upon entering the host placed our name in a waitlist. Our wait time was about 15 mins. Our server was Chance and he was attentive. We ordered a coke and a sampler. Everything in the sampler was good except the egg roll it had an aftertaste. Overall the experience was great especially having the jungle themes

    Had a reservation for 16 and they crammed us into a table that was 4 seats shorts and squeezed in extra chair. So we sat...shoulder to shoulder. Food was tasty tho.

    I already knew Rainforest Cafe would be overpriced, but since it was my daughter's birthday we bit the bullet. Our waiter was also preoccupied with making drinks for the bar, he tried to do a good job at least. So, I ordered the Blue Mountain Caprese sandwich, of which the lemon grilled chicken was actually good! I just thought the bread was too hard and ended up taking it off the (what I think was) French bread and eating the chicken/tomato/mozerella by itself. Also, the Cole slaw that came with the sandwich tasted and smelled old, I took one bite and stopped for fear of getting sick. The fries were good while they were warm; however, they turned too hard once I took them to go indicated they had already been reheated. I ended up tossing them. My husband ordered the Python chicken pasta, his pasta sauce was BLAND! But the chicken was abundantly flavorful though. And my childrens' meals were good! The mini burgers were great, dry but tasted good at least. All in all, $80 for a family of 4 wasn't worth it. We didn't order dessert and only had one coke with everyone else drinking water. It really is overpriced for the quality, as one would assume for a mall novelty restaurant. I would probably just recommend drinks and dessert, after already eating a meal elsewhere.

    Rainforest Café - Grapevine Fun for kids and kids at heart! Expect to pay $30+ per person. Food isn't great. As the name of this place, you do feel like you're inside a rainforest. Staff were good, not great. Our waiter came by once to take our order and once to bring check. Food was decent but way overpriced. House salad was bare minimum and wilted. Soup was very small and cold. Anaconda Pasta wasn't too much to write home about. The menu option is very limited. The décor was decent, as well, but everything in here is 1990's original. Some of the animatronics were too scary for 2025. The rainforest sounds you'd expect to hear are also limited. The thunder and lightning effects are also outdated. The music was loud and wasn't fun to talk loudly to hear each other. They need to revamp this location and for the money they're charging, redecorate and update their '90's animals. If you're coming here, it's a once in the blue moon type of visit. Be sure to bring lots of money as food is overpriced. Between two people we paid $60.

    Rainforest is a great resource to take your kids to We went with the majority of our family about 10 The problem with this is the table we sat at was minimal view of the actual rainforest animals etc so make sure we don't sit by the aquarium We had as an appetizer the Korean chicken wrap excellent and healthy My son and I ordered Cajun ribeye w shrimp and veggies Spouse had the combo fajitas For desert the lava cake which never disappoints

    It's a super cute experience if wanting to dine with children. The food is average but good and the service was fantastic

    The food was decent, and the ambiance was outstanding, but the service left much to be desired--slow and understaffed. It's baffling that a place like this hasn't implemented an online payment system like Chili's or Chuy's. I had to wait a frustrating 30 minutes just to settle my bill, even though there were no issues with it--just a long wait. The food also took a long time to come out. They could take notes on efficiency from Chick-fil-A and digital convenience from Chili's. I shared my concerns with the manager, George, but the conversation was entirely unproductive--just a series of excuses. I won't be returning. One of the rare places I've rated one star--would've given zero if that were an option.

    Bathroom

    My daughter and I visited this location during spring break 2026. It was busy as expected, however the service was mediocre, our waiter told us he was ready to go home as he took our drink order, pure chaos in there. The women's bathroom was deplorable, even children who walked in commented to n how nasty it was, Im talking 5-7 yr old kids. I was so disgusted and felt I might catch something second hand had I used it. Prices are way too high to be given the service and appearance we experienced. Please do better, I wont be back.

    It was surprisingly busy for a Thursday evening. The interior is very dark, designed to resemble a forest. Unfortunately, there was a strong smell of urine when you first walk in. Honestly, we would have left if we'd been seated near that odor. Thankfully, it improved as we moved further inside. The service was extremely slow. When our server finally came over, he seemed distracted and zoned out while we were placing our order. The food itself was dry and completely lacking in flavor. For the price, it was disappointing and felt like a poor value. I definitely would not recommend this place. We only went for the kids, and even then, my son didn't enjoy the meal.

This sprawling estate is able to accommodate lots of guests (vehicles included) for all different types of functions. Everything about the property is ostentatiously southern, which might seem kitschy to non Texans, but for locals it just feels comfortable and familiar. Since I was there for a banquet, the first thing I have to talk about is the food. It seemed only appropriate that barbecue was on the menu with things like brisket, smoked sausage and baked beans, all served buffet style. While it was respectable enough, the quality was closer to Dickey's or Spring Creek than more authentic Texas barbecue. I thought the bread pudding they had for dessert was a good choice since I don't see that very often, plus it was very tasty. This place also has several built in bars because at social events people need their adult libations! There were only a handful of options available, but frozen margaritas was one of them, so that totally made up for the small selection. In addition to special events and private parties they also host market days open to the public. For that they have local vendors selling their goods along with other family friendly activities, such as pony rides, a petting zoo and rodeo. Although I haven't been before, I'm inspired to go now after seeing how well they handled the event that we did attend.

I wish I had taken a picture of the Dr. Pepper bottles on the bar. Still makes me smile when I think about it. Our last wedding was on December 14, 2024. I was nervous about this time frame due to private parties and other weddings. With this date, and other special events happening at Royal Affairs, I was concerned with setup time as I, mother of the bride, was the setup team. David worked with the schedule of other parties, as well as our availability, and made it possible for us to setup before the wedding rehearsal. We got the much-needed rehearsal, and my daughter got a first look at the decorated venue. She was very VERY happy. The day of the event, everything was perfect when we walked in. We were able to get into the Ballroom early for dressing, pictures, etc. Timing was never an issue as, we spoke with David beforehand and he made everything come together for us.
