    Sude, our server, made this dinner special. She is warm, attentive, kind, and quick to offer and respond to any request. Three different generations visited the Rainforest Cafe and we all left happy. I personally did not care for the fish & chips, as it was a bit too fishy and the crust made me fear breaking my teeth. But everything else was absolutely delicious, incl the frozen drinks: alcolic and non-alcoholic. The appetizer sampler, the beefy burger, and coconut shrimp where a big hit. My grandson was visited by the balloon artist and was ecstatic by the results, and we ended our adventure with a very entertaining boat ride. A great afternoon! Thank you very much.

    I made reservations and ask to be seated next to the fish tanks… got seated by the fog wall in front.. by a huge tree the was blocking everything. It was for my son’s birthday celebration.

    Service was extremely slow, consistently having to repeat ourself multiple times, they were cramming large parties in booths too small, there was face painting/balloon things/and photo takers, it was overwhelming and money grabbing- ruined the whole experience.

    Our reservation got us right in with minimal wait. Normal wait time was 1hr 45min. Glad we used Open Table to plan ahead. Atmosphere was fun. Waitress was very nice & attentive. Good was yummy!

    It’s Rainforest. You gotta go for the kitsch. Especially if you have kids. The food isn’t any more pricey than a lot of other restaurants and it’s generous portions. Wonderful hamburgers! It’s worth it for the experience and seeing the kids faces. They love it! I suggest if your kid is under age 3 ask to be seated away from the animatronics. They’re pretty loud and realistic to a small child.

    My family and I always have to make sure we visit the Rainforest Cafe, from the outside the restaurant looks like a volcano, the inside looks like a rainforest and has animal animatronics and big aquariums of exotic fish. We of course have to get the Volcano dessert which is served with a sparkler which is pretty cool for the kiddos. The Rainforest Cafe in Galveston even has a water ride inside the restaurant that you can purchase a ticket for and ride while your waiting for your table or finish off your meal with a really cool water ride, they really went all out on it! I highly recommend this place to everyone, its a must stop for the family!

    We sat and waited for over 20 minutes before a server came to the table. The table that sat after us was served first. Our server wasn’t irritated with who knows what. She had a bad attitude and didn’t want to be there. Several waiters just walked by didn’t acknowledge us at all. When the waiter finally came to our table we went ahead and gave her our drink and food order at once. And again we didn’t see our waiter anymore. We finally saw her we asked for the check. When she handed the check she came right back to collect it back. ALL SERVERS there need to be retrained.
