Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rainforest Cafe in Detroit Great Lakes offers a vibrant, jungle-themed dining experience that's a hit with families. The "atmosphere is cool," complete with animatronic animals and thunderstorm effects. While the service is often "super nice," the food receives mixed reviews, being "a little pricey" for its quality. It's a fantastic spot for kids who "love the animals," but be prepared for potential wait times.

    Much improved food. Still no prices on the menus for many items. $11 for a child’s smoothie drink is a bit much. I shouldn’t have to ask what the cost is for drink items, especially when the advertising is directed at children.

    Food was great. Server was mediocre but typically we have great service. My son loves RFC and we’re here at least twice a month.

    Service was great, our waitress was wonderful. The food is just very subpar for the amount you pay.

    The food is terrible but the experience for the kids is wonderful, they love it. If you stick to foods out of the fryer it shouldn’t be too bad.

    I generally come out to this establishment about twice a year. This recent visit left me underwhelmed. The food was like warm, and the floors were unkept. May it was a busy day or maybe they were understaffed??? Either way, for the prices that are listed, the value, and maintenance of the restaurant needs to be improved!
