Food was way better than my last trip here, but still need the food to come out hotter. There is no reason to have just opened up and the food not come out proper temp. Service was excellent from our server and my daughter loved the ambience being her first time at the restaurant. read more

Great atmosphere, quick and friendly service from Christian! looking forward to coming back!

It feels like the older I get, the more I try to recapture my childhood on my birthday. So, Rainforest Cafe seem to be the perfect place for my birthday dinner this year even though I'm 50 years old. I previously tried to convince a friend to go with me for dinner on a regular night and she joked that she hadn't been there since her kids were 3 years old. So I thought, perfect for my birthday. I love immersive environments and themed restaurants and bars, and this definitely delivered! There are animatronic animals at every turn, a talking tree in the gift shop, thunderstorms every 5 minutes, and so much eye candy. Five stars for atmosphere The restaurant was packed at 6:00 p.m. on a Saturday, with full reservations and more people showing up trying to walk in. There is quite a check-in process, and for me with a long line, so it's good to get there early. The whole ordeal actually takes a long time and we were there for almost 3 hours for dinner. But there's plenty to keep you entertained, including balloon animal artists (I was disappointed that they did not come to our all adults table) and a photographer taking souvenir photos which I absolutely loved. Everybody liked their meals. I went on theme and ordered the beef lava nachos which were perfectly good. I also had a frozen strawberry daiquiri in a souvenir parrot Tiki mug, which was fun and tasted good although not very boozy (which was fine because I had a long ride home). Service was very friendly but slow, understandable for how busy they were. We did have to ask for things like a place setting and the gluten sensitive menu a couple of times before actually getting them. But I'm thrilled beyond belief that they actually have a gluten sensitive menu and that I didn't get sick after eating there. I wish there had been more in the gift shop that I had wanted to buy. A lot of the products offered are toys for kids and generic wildlife/rainforest stuff or feature the Rainforest Cafe cartoon mascots on them. All in all it was a great birthday dinner and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a festive time. read more

I haven't been to a Rainforest Cafe since childhood, so I was excited to experience this sacred location with a group of my bestest friends for a joint birthday celebration. The atmosphere was, of course, magical. The dining area was spacious- leaving me plenty of room to walk around to get pictures without bothering other patrons, as well as beat on my chest every time the thunder started, or when the apes started making a commotion. Massive pointers for that. Also the gift shop is so fantastic. I came here primarily motivated by nostalgia, and honestly, my expectation was that the food would just be alright- I was mistaken!! The food was actually so bomb. I got the python pasta, and my friends got the fish tacos, a burger, and the lasagna and everyone not only enjoyed their food immensely, but the portions were substantial- most of us took a last little bit home to eat later. :) We finished off the night with the volcano, which, despite being sad they don't do the little sparkler in the top anymore (i get it though tbh), i loved it. I thought that would just be some brownies or whatever too but The lava cake was soooo gooey and the presentation completed with chocolate rocks and lava sprinkles was so darling. There were also 5 of us and we couldn't manage to kill it off completely, so biggie portion for sure Lastly, service was lovely. Greg took care of us and provided excellent service. He even heard my friends and I out when we provided feedback on the location offering a gorilla walk-around character for parties. I mean, the frog is super iconic, but I'm a primate at heart. But thank you Greg for being so kind and attentive we appreciate you!! Will totally be back to pound on my ape chest and chow on some delicious grub xoxo read more

My kids really liked their kids meal. I thought the presentation was terrible. The fruit salad was scraps of lukewarm leftover watermelon pieces. And their spaghetti and pizza both looked like microwavable dinner. My husband got the burger and I got the chicken sandwich. They were ok in taste but def not worth $25+. But then again who really comes to Rainforest Cafe for the food? read more

My boyfriend and I had some time to kill before our movie and we decided to go to the bar at rainforest cafe. If you've never been, it has a Disneyland feel to it. There's beautiful scenery like a tropical forest and loving mechanical animals. Boyfriend and I ordered strawberry and regular mojito and it was wonderful. Kaydence, our bartender, was an exceptional and kind host and great bartender. We will definitely return. read more

I came here with a reservation, and they let us in a bit early. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation through OpenTable since this place always seems to be busy. First off, this place is definitely a vibe. It's a fun experience that makes you feel like you're in a jungle/rainforest. I can't say too much about the food since I came here mainly to try the special Sparkling Volcano dessert, which is a fun, big chocolate brownie/cake with ice cream. It tasted good, and it's a fun little dessert for $19. I love all the monkeys and other animatronics that make noise every so often. Overall, I'd say you come here more for the experience than the food. Also, the service was actually amazing! read more

I have always liked the rainforest Cafe! This one is in the mills mall. Its a neat place bc of the decor and ambiance. I love the vibe here. The food is ok. Just very average but the service has been great and the atmosphere is just awesome. Ive added a picture that's 21 years old. My baby at the time! This is how long I've been coming here!

I usually always take a picture of the menu, but didn't think I would be making a yelp review for this place. I forgot what the steak dish was called, but it was really good! The steak had a good hard sear on it, although it was overly salty. Everything on Taste of the Island plate was good. Everything was seasoned perfectly and flavorful. read more

The Rainforest Cafe is a very special place to me, and I had a wonderful time dining here tonight! The atmosphere of the chaotic rainforest was so captivating, every detail adds to such an immersive scene and experience. The service was good, dining on a Saturday evening can be tricky with wait times, but I could see that the staff was working so hard. The food was okay, I personally wouldn't dine at the Rainforest Cafe for the food, but for the experience only. My appetizer plate looked really good but most of the food was a bit too greasy and I could tell it was sitting for a while. I still ate nearly all of it however, like I said, it wasn't bad it was just okay! I absolutely adore this restaurant and hope it stays forever- maybe an upgraded menu in the future? read more

I was really disappointed with our recent visit to Rainforest Cafe at Ontario Mills. First, I highly recommend making a reservation because they seem to be required. However, even with a reservation, be prepared to wait well past your scheduled time to be seated. The service was extremely slow, and the food was mediocre at best. It's unfortunate because this restaurant used to be much better, but the overall quality has definitely gone downhill. Also, if you're considering this restaurant for a child with autism or sensory sensitivities, I would think twice. The constant loud noises, flashing lights, and overall atmosphere were incredibly overstimulating, even for someone without autism. What is meant to be a fun experience can quickly become overwhelming. Overall, the concept is still unique, but the long waits, slow service, average food, and overwhelming environment make it difficult for me to recommend. read more

Rainforest Cafe - Inside the restaurant - American Near Me - Ontario, California

THE FINAL BASTION OF RAINFOREST CAFE IN CALIFORNIA. I'll never forgive the Downtown Disney location for closing before I became an adult with the money and funds to visit. I've actually only ever been to the Las Vegas one ages ago when I was a child, but I do have memories of going to the gift shop at this location. A lot has changed though, most notably all of the fish that were in the aquarium tanks while you wait to be seated or you can gaze at from the gift shop. Makes sense as taking care of live animals makes things much trickier, costly, and is a huge liability. I actually recently learned that Rainforest Cafe locations had live parrots. Insane. Imagine the America we could have had. With that being said, even if you're not dining in, it's always fun to see the gator animatronic in the front and of course, Tracy Tree. I love that the company still does its best to reach out to an audience, like chimera fusion animals and the appeal to Millennials (the Tracy Tree secrets bumper sticker and shirt). Huge discount corner in the back where I got a really neat vintage art huge drink mug, an Iggy the Iguana pen, and an Easter Cha Cha shirt. I love the characters and that there's printables for kids to color and do activities with. I feel like newer generations are so screen addicted that a call to more simpler times is just so nostalgic and endearing. But I digress. Bar seating is immediate and I love the animal butt stools, but being seated at a table has it's own charm too. I love the chaotic over the top animal (marine, jungle animals, etc.) prints on each table and the rainforest thunderstorm show with the lights and animals that happen frequently. Although everything is a bit outdated, it's very charming. I despise corpo slop minimalism so the attention to detail on the statues, wall painted art, animatronics, etc. is all so very welcome to me, despite how tacky it might be others. There's a balloon animal artist walking around and a photographer who gives you a free small postcard print but you can always get a nicer one for a fee. For our visit, we got several non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Most drinks come with a souvenir cup you just show the receipt to at the gift store and they give you a new clean one. Some cups you just have to take from the table (like our 250th USA Anniversary one and a light up one), so confirm with your server. You can BARELY taste the alcohol in the alcoholic drinks which made the much more yummier (I despise alcohol and am intolerant to most drinks), but my brother and his friend enjoyed their Raspberry Rainfall and Strawberry Mojito. My friend and I enjoyed our Swimming Hole and Brazilian Breeze. Not to sweet and refreshing fruit flavors. We we already so full, so we decided to go for some desserts and most of the party wasn't sweet tooths so I couldn't be silly and order the brownie volcano. It took a bit of time for us to order since a lot of the menu was entree foods and not much in the variety of shareables (if you strip away the decor and aesthetics then outside of a couple items, you couldn't really differentiate it from a standard sit down franchise). We got the key lime pie and cheesecake, which were both solid desserts and didn't taste like super pre-made frozen box cakes. Good texture, not too dry crumble, and big enough slices to make sharing easy. Since we were near closing and they had a pretty full restaurant (Saturday evening), it was hard to flag down our waiter since he had a lot on his serving plate. So keep this in mind, also make reservations on OpenTable as it does get busy too. Check their social media since I guess Cha Cha also makes an appearance and I would love to meet them one day. I really hope this place survives and stays a relic of times long gone. They don't make super themed restaurants like this anymore, especially with eatertainment. read more

Talk about a blast from the past. I hadn't eaten at Rainforest Cafe in probably 20 years, so coming back felt like unlocking a very specific childhood memory, complete with jungle decor and plenty of nostalgia. I was actually surprised by how good the food was and enjoyed it much more than I expected, although a few items leaned overly spicy and felt a little mismatched with the rest of the menu and theme. Service was fast and efficient, and Tim deserves a special shoutout for bringing such great energy and enthusiasm to the experience. Is Rainforest Cafe a little over the top? Absolutely, but that's also kind of the point. It was a fun meal and the perfect place to recharge after completing what felt like an expedition of its own: one very large lap around the very large Ontario Mills. read more

You come to rainforest cafe for the vibes, not the food. My friends and I took a trek here for the nostalgia since the downtown disney location was taken away. I ordered the raspberry rainfall and amazon rainforest burger. The drink primarily tasted like pineapple juice and was a little hard to get through. The burger was an average & safe choice - nothing fancy but not terrible. Extra bonus points that my drink came with a souvenir glass to take home, so at least I'll always have that as a memory :-) read more

First time at this location after Anaheim Downtown Disney one shut down years ago. Came here Saturday night and host quoted us 25 min wait for 2. We decided to get some drinks and sat at the bar while we waited for a bar table to be cleaned. After waiting 10-20 mins for the bar table, we went back to ask the host an update on the table and ended up being seated on the main floor. Glad we asked! After placing our food order, it came out about 20-30 mins later. We ordered the Pastalaya and Lasagna and both were pretty good. Solid meal and fun restaurant experience but service could be better. Would still reccomend for family with littles. read more

Amy was amazing! She answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable about the food.

Rainforest Cafe - Pork chop 10/10 and Jamaican steak 9/10. - American Near Me - Ontario, California

First time at Rainforest Cafe in Ontario Mills and we were pleasantly surprised! We sat at the bar and our bartender, Jayce, was AMAZING! She was so patient with us, kept checking in, asked what we were in the mood for, and helped us make our choices without ever rushing us. Great service really makes a difference! The food and appetizers were really good too. The beer selection was another story... Modelo and Michelob Ultra on draft only. My husband was personally offended. Jayce definitely made our visit! We'll be back! read more

Had the best experience at rainforest cafe! Lindsay was absolutely amazing! Hands down the best service we had. Will definitely come back.

2.5 stars is what I would probably give. Pros: Our waitress Amy was very nice, she checked on us several times and updated us on our food arrival. She seemed a little overwhelmed as it was pretty busy and there was a line of people waiting to get seated, but she was still friendly. The outside and the inside of the restaurant is really fun and the perfect place to bring younger kids. We hadn't been here in a good 9 years but it was nice to see the decor outside of the main mall entrance as well as the area outside the restaurant, inside the mall and the gift shop. It's just fully immersed in jungle theme for kids! There's a little smoke, steam and animal hollering every 15-20 mins or so. Our table was right next to the pond with the atlas statue so the water was loud, on top of the jungle sounds so it was really hard to talk to the people in your party. Cons: the food was overpriced for what it is and how much food you get. My little cup of maybe 7 or 8 ounces of clam chowder was $9.49! It didn't taste extraordinary or freshly made, probably out of a can. The kids fried shrimp was just ok as well. My taco salad was also just average. It was on the smaller side and had some chopped iceberg lettuce. It tasted ok. Nothing to write home about but people don't come here for the food. It just felt $2-$3 dollars more per dish than it needs to be. We are in Ontario but I guess the extra $$ is going to the upkeep of the fun and cool stuff inside. It also took at least 30 mins to get our food so don't come hungry! They don't have any complimentary chips and salsa or bread to hold you over until your food comes out. It's pretty much just a fun place to bring kids every once in a while but that's it. read more

Heard about this jungle-themed restaurant, you hear monkeys lions birds and elephants during your meal the decor is cool and, every 30 minutes, a thunderstorm passes by a talented balloon artist walks by and makes cool balloon art for the little ones love the gift shop located directly outside of restaurant because we had a little ones, I didn't get to enjoy dinner and just picked on french fries, that being said, need to go back to be able to comment on the food! The customer service was excellent! Our waiter was great, interacting with the kids. Located in the Ontario Mills, plenty of parking available. read more

Rainforest Cafe - Best seat in the jungle - American Near Me - Ontario, California

Restaurant itself is very cool inside. Especially for the kiddos. Wait took a bit but it's due to it being such a popular place. The server was very attentive to us. The food took a crazy amount of time though and no one explained to us why that was which kind of made the experience a 4 star. The food was tastey. They also have someone the makes balloon animals for the kids and takes your photo. Very family friendly atmosphere. Recommend for a nice Sunday when its not to busy read more

Rainforest Cafe delivers exactly what it promises, an immersive jungle dining experience paired with comforting, crowd-pleasing food. The restaurant's towering trees, vibrant lighting, and rainforest ambiance create a playful environment that feels nostalgic and entertaining especially since this was our little guys pick for dinner on spring break lol. The fish and chips arrived perfectly crisp with a generous portion of fries, while the pineapple coleslaw added a refreshing balance. The kids' meal, pepperoni pizza and mac & cheese was simple yet satisfying so the kid said lol happy kid happy tummy happy parents. Another entrée, topped with crispy onion strings and sautéed vegetables, offered hearty flavors and great texture was the pot roast my hubby seemed to like it. Beyond the food, the themed decor and iconic "Rescue the Rainforest" statue that they sat us in front made this a memorable dining spot. It's a great destination for families, visitors, and anyone looking to enjoy a fun atmosphere with their meal. Bring your out of towners lol it's fun and unique! Walk it off afterwards in the mall it's about a mile long walk around the mall lol get your steps in and or dessert there or elsewhere lol volcano cake on birthdays are always fun! read more

We took our kids here for the first time and they had a blast! They loved the "rainstorm" and the big gorillas. The restaurant is roomy and has plenty of seating. The kids meals are affordable but also seem like they were microwaved and the kids weren't much of a fan of their food. My chicken lettuce wraps were spicy but good with plenty of meat and sauce to dip in. The bathrooms were also clean and well stocked. The customer service was good and our food was served pretty quickly. read more

Rainforest Cafe will always be a nostalgic place for me. It brings back so many memories of when my girls were little and I used to bring them here all the time. When my daughter graduated from high school, I wanted to do something that reminded us of those special days, so we decided to come back. The restaurant is just as fun and beautiful as I remembered with all the animated animals and rainforest atmosphere. We had a party of 11, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great everything was. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries, and everyone else had a variety of different dishes. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The service was amazing, especially considering the size of our group. This visit reminded me why I loved bringing my family here. It was the perfect mix of great memories, great food, and great service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Rainforest Cafe - The Beastly Burger and BIMINI CHICKEN - American Near Me - Ontario, California

First timer and I can honestly say I was highly impressed! Hubby and I brought our 4 year old on a Thursday evening. Waited about 15 min to get seated and although it took a bit for our waitress to take our orders, she was great. Very communicative, especially when the food was taking a bit long. Food was (IMO shockingly) REALLY good. I had very low expectations of the food & was a bit hesitant since the prices were a lot for a "gimmicky" restaurant but my mind is forever changed. Hubby had hot honey fried chicken, I had fish tacos. Although I was undecided between 2 meals and told the waitress to surprise me, she picked well! The tacos had a very large portion of grilled fish, the sauce had a slight kick but was delicious. My son had the steak kabobs (he was disappointed they didn't come on sticks) but they were cooked perfectly. The "thunderstorm" that occurs every 30 min was not too loud but it was a cute perk to eating at the rainforest. Bathrooms were clean. Gift shop out front was HUGE. Balloon artist that works on tips was a hit. And they even have a photographer that will take pics for you..... we bought one $20. Will we return? Absolutely. read more

I'll start with the food. It was not good at all. I've never really gone to a restaurant and not ate my food. I was so bothered that they had to take it off my bill. Our server was great tho. S/o to Her. We just wanted to leave and go home. I'm frustrated at the fact that we live in Northridge and traveled to Ontario for basically.....NOTHING. I mean that pasta was DRY. Like the desert. It was a Rasta Pasta and baby... it was NOTHING Rasta about that. At least our drinks were cold and good. We even got to keep the mugs/cups (they were $15, but that was worth it) We will not be retuning and it's all good. You live and you learn. We definitely learned. Oh....the ambiance was nice tho. Definitely fit the vibe of Rainforest. I actually used to go there when I was kid living in DC so it was pretty nostalgic besides the food. Yuck Maybe the animals cooked the food in the back. Even our server was like "it looks kinda dry". read more

We decided to take the kids to Rainforest Cafe so they could experience the atmosphere. We knew there would be a wait since it was a Sunday afternoon and we didn't have a reservation, so when we were told it would be about 35-45 minutes, we were fine with that. We gave the host our phone number and waited for the text. After about 40 minutes, we still hadn't received anything--not even the initial confirmation that we had been added to the waitlist. I went back to the host to ask how much longer it would be, and I was told we should receive a text in a few minutes. So, we continued waiting. About 25 minutes later, I went back to check with another host just to get clarification and make sure we were actually on the list. That's when we found out that the original host had never added us to the waitlist at all. That explained why we never received a text. Thankfully, after a few more minutes, they were able to seat us. The food was pretty mediocre, but honestly, we weren't expecting anything amazing. We mainly went so the kids could experience the restaurant and enjoy the atmosphere. Unfortunately, our service wasn't much better. Our waitress was not very attentive, and I had to repeatedly get her attention. It almost felt like she kept forgetting we were in her section. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the initial mix-up with the host and them trying to seat us wherever they could, but the overall experience was disappointing. We went for the kids, and I'm glad they got to experience it, but between the waitlist mix-up, the service, and the mediocre food, I don't think we'll be going back. read more

Took my daughter and mother-in-law to lunch here on our way home from a trip to the desert. I used to come to Rainforest Cafe as a kid and it's very nostalgic for me. The pros: very easy to find and parking was a breeze. Also, our server Amy was absolutely lovely. She was very attentive and kind - we couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of us over lunch. She was very on top of refills and continued to make sure we were enjoying our time. The cons: It feels like things haven't been maintained at the same level as I remember as a kid and there was a little bit of a wait for the food to come out. Overall, we had a really nice time and I would love for this spot to stay because so many of the locations have closed in more recent years. **Side note, we also shopped in the gift shop and the young gentlemen who helped us was also very nice but I did not catch his name. read more
