    Ambiance
    Natalie A.

    I have not been to Rainforest Cafe in ages. And I forgot how much the littles love it. The ambiance is enough to bring you out at least once. When my older children were younger we went often. The inside is decorated to the extreme. Apes. Monkeys. Birds. The ceiling has a sky that changes. Every hour there is a lightning storm and the lights dim and create a storm. The service was good. We only had the nachos because we were just popping in to experience the ambiance and have a snack.

    I meet my niece and sister here and you can tell this is a child's dream restaurant. The restaurant is super cute but a bit loud from all the animation going on. My niece got the cheese pizza with fruit. I was surprised the fruit was pineapple. The pineapple looked dry, but it was actually really good. My niece really enjoyed the thin crust pizza. My sister got the BBQ burger that she said was good but could use more bbq sauce. My pasta said spicy and the waitress also warming that I was spicy, but I love spicy so I was all for it. The spice was spicy, but it was really flavorful and it came with tons of meat. To top off the entire staff are extremely friendly. It feels like they are revamping for people to come back and it is working.

    We went for my son's birthday. I recommend making a reservation for dinner because it gets very busy really quick. My kids loved the experience so much to look at. I really loved that the kids meals were served in kid plates (divided into 3 sections) made my kids feel like they were eating dinner at home. As a parent really appreciate clean highchairs with straps. Our server was so nice and I wish I remembered her name. She had a full party behind us and still took great care of us as well. We had a great time and would recommend for birthdays with the kiddos

    Service was nice. Pasta was beyond greasy.

    Pasta beyond greasy. Service was good, and food was delivered in 20 minutes. Overall 2/5 could do better with the food quality presentation of food was great... yet had a stain on my plate.

    This was my first time ever experiencing this restaurant! It's a really great atmosphere for families. My daughter absolutely loved it and we went on her birthday to have her birthday dinner. The rainforest decor with all the different animals were amazing. The food and service was great too! We will be back, My child thoroughly enjoyed her birthday dinner with all the beautiful animals in the rainforest.

    This is our first experience and it has been an amazing one. All of the staff are wholesomely awesome. The vibe and experience is perfect for the kids. If you have never been and have wondered, don't wait. Check out my Ribs w/ fries picture. Huge! The server has been great-The manager did a table visit. This separates just a dining time to a dining experience.

    I was pretty impressed with my experience at the rainforest cafe in Katy. The food was delicious, the ambiance was good, and the service was decent. I got the chicken fried chicken as my entree. It was really delicious and very flavorful. I would happily order this again. The hurricane drink was just ok, not the best I've had. I was also a little disappointed by the ambiance, I expected it to be a bit more realistic, but this was my first time at a rainforest cafe. This was a cool experience and I'm glad I went, I'd go again for sure. Great food options for adults and kids

Similar to other recently opened venues that serve beer on tap and feature both indoor and outdoor spaces, there is something available for all ages in your party. Though parking is free in their lot, it does quickly fill up as the evening progresses. Our friends had reserved a few tables outside, but it also turned out to be the coldest day of the year, so we ended up settling inside. We sampled sliders, hot dogs, flat breads, pizza, pretzels, nachos, and chicken lollipops, which were served in metal catering trays along a long table. All the food items that were ordered were good. We did not order anything to drink, but the servers did a great job of coming by our tables to see if we needed anything throughout the evening, and he had quite a large party. The outdoor space is pretty large, with open areas of turf for lawn games and kids to run around. There is also ample outdoor seating, with a few food trucks along the outer part of the venue. Not sure if these are left out year-round, but they had these fire pit space heater/light sources between the tables that provided a nice touch to the outdoor space, especially as the evening grew darker. Although we don't live nearby, this was a great spot to celebrate a birthday, hang out with friends, date night, etc. I definitely recommend this place if you live on this side of town.

It has very much of a family and older crowd and is not really a place for the youth. However, my friend reserved tables in the cocktail lounge, which had a completely different ambience from the surrounding beer garden. It was cute, and the cocktails were fun. I got the Pretty is as Pretty Does, which is a sweet vodka cocktail with pineapple juice. The prices were pretty normal, with mine on the lower end being $12 + tip. It was hard to order with all the customers though, and it took a long time for the drinks to be made. Their parking lot is very small for the size of the establishment, and they have additional diagonal spots along the street that stretch for a looooong distance. It's very strange how they designed it.

Our server was lack luster and didn't seem like she wanted to be there. She didn't even come to apologize for the wait or that the food was coming. We had to ask for refills and napkins after waiting 15+ mins until she came back to the grass patio area. Crawfish finally came it was lukewarm and some had a fishy taste. Best part there was maybe 15 people in the grass patio area and 3 people at the inside bar. Customers were cleaning off the tables to sit, getting their own napkins and going inside to get drinks at the bar. A table in front of us declined their potatoes and sausage bc it took so long after their other food came out. Also, we wanted to order cheese fries but were told they weren't doing certain foods bc there was only 1 cook. Lol Place has potential but needs to be cleaned up (random kiddie pool next to the outside crawfish cooking area) , food needs to be refined, servers need to be retrained and customer service needs to be a focus.

Having ordered them once (to go) from this location as well as in-house at the Town & Country location, where they were very good both times, somebody was just a little off their game today. We also ordered shakshuka, which was very good and wiped away the memory of the less than stellar flatbread. I would definitely return here again and try other things.

Table of 4, waiter addressed us after about 10 minutes, got obviously upset when he figured out we weren't drinking alcohol, treated us poorly the entire rest of the visit (when he actually deigned to stop by). Ordered "hand battered" pickles, which is a lie, these came directly out of the freezer, had absolutely no flavor at all, and were not served with the dressing specified on the menu. He literally dropped them and ran. I had to go the service counter to get us napkins so we could try the food, and we had to flag him down to ask for the accompaniment. When confronted, he literally said "it doesn't come with anything", we replied that the menu said it did, and he insisted that he was correct. So, he was asked for ranch dressing (which is what the menu states was supposed to be served with it), and he stated, "oh, we don't have any of that, we've been out for weeks". REALLY? He just decided he didn't like us, so he treated us like crap. Burger ordered, listed on menu as 1/2 lb., might have been 5 ounces maximum and had no flavor at all. All of just picked at our food, because it was all just sad. In addition, meals that came with fries had the fries served almost 10 minutes after the meals. Saving grace, they were hot and well seasoned, so we finally had something we could all share to eat, but had to fight to get ketchup for those that wanted it. Would most definitely NOT recommend for any reason at all.

    I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!
