Rainforest Cafe is the best place to eat if you want to have good food, and an amazing atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in the Amazon jungle. Our server Daniel was great, he repeated our order back to us which was amazing since most places don’t do that. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. It’s also located right on the San Antonio Riverwalk.

What an amazing meal. To start, this location on the riverwalk is absolutely gorgeous, and the tree house style design of the restaurant is so cool. Our server Desiree was a refreshingly bubbly and super knowledgeable server. She was super friendly and it’s quite obvious how much she loves her job as she made us feel welcome like we were family. My significant other and I ordered the rib steak and shrimp combo and omg yummmm! The steak was perfectly grilled, the ribs literally FELL OFF BONE they were so succulently delicious and the fried shrimp were 🤌🤌. I wish I had another set of hands so I could give this restaurant and experience 4 thumbs up 👍 👍👍👍 Kudos All Around Brian & Anne

Crazy to think that the best part of the experience was the server. She was excellent. The food and drinks were amazing and came out hot. My 3 year old loved the rain forest scheme and was entertained.

If you go ask for Mary Muniz as your server, she made the entire meal a great evening, she was quick, happy to assist, and makes sure everyone is enjoying it. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is exactly as the name suggests. 10/10 would go again.

Our visit to the Rainforest Cafe in San Antonio was nothing short of incredible! The atmosphere is truly magical, making it a fantastic experience for both kids and adults alike. The vibrant decor and ambient sounds of the rainforest kept everyone engaged and excited throughout our meal. A special shoutout to our server, Cynthia, who went above and beyond in taking care of us. She was attentive and genuinely listened to our kids, ensuring all their needs were met. It was so refreshing to see her interact with them, making them feel special and valued, specially as it was one of our kids birthday. Her exceptional service added a personal touch to our dining experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better server. Overall, it was a delightful outing that created lasting memories for our family. We can’t wait to return!

Love it! The animals and the stimulated thunderstorms are pretty cool. We always have a good time there. Everything is reasonably priced from the food to the adult beverages. The food is always great when we go. The desserts are all good but as a chocolate lover the Sparkling Volcano is My favorite.

This was such a fun restaurant. If you are wanting to go for a nice walk too it's quite litterally on the beautiful river walk. This restaurant was three stories tall and had plenty of animals. It's the only location with pandas. It has tons of gorilla, a tiger, a large snake, live fish, a soft shell turtle, and even a waterfall that flows through several floors. It is on the pricier side and our waiter was not very attentive. The food was good and the overall experience was enjoyable!

I love this place. They have a very good selection of food and the portions are of good size. It's a little pricey but you are on the riverwalk and for me it's worth it. The hostess could be a little more excited about her job and in how she greets people. Our server was good but never came and offered refills and walked by the table multiple times when we had empty dishes to be removed. Also we received an appetizer with no plates. We started with the bruschetta and it wasn't bad but I would prefer the ingredients already on the bread personally but it wasn't bad. I had the lasagna and it was excellent. We also got the chicken pasta with mushrooms cucumber and tomatoes and it was good but the pasta noonedles could've been cooked a little longer. I did enjoy the photographer that walked around and bought some photos.

The food was really good and our waiter was extremely helpful in taking our orders and making sure our drinks were full. The only problem we had as this was our first time were the very loud animal sounds and the strobe light effect. We would like to request that there'll be some sort of signage at the door what does information. We had one child who is on the autism spectrum and two adults who were having issues.

Rainforest Cafe is a cool and unique restaurant with an amazing, immersive rainforest vibe that's perfect for kids and animal enthusiasts. Though the main courses were just okay, I recommend the Nachos and Spinach Dip appetizers. The price is a bit high, but the overall experience, plus with the good service we received from our waiter, Daniel, makes it worthwhile. It is a fun place to celebrate birthday.

Had a great time. The kids were very impressed by the decor in the restaurant. It was very loud. So could be a difficult adventure for those with sensory issues. Service was great aside from the fact that my kids and husband witnessed a woman pick up food and eat it, from a table she was cleaning. That was bit disturbing. Food was very good. Although there was a bread tie left on my plate. Glad I was attentive to my plate. Also. Highly recommend reservations. Wait time is long even with them. Also they offered souvenir pictures. Loved that.

The Story Plate

The atmosphere was awesome — thunder, animals, and all the jungle chaos you could want before lunch. The food, though, looked way better than it tasted. Our server, Casey, was a nice guy but already looked like he’d survived a hurricane in the Amazon, and it was only 11 a.m. Service was okay, not great. And for $200, I half expected a gorilla to bring me dessert or at least a free souvenir cup. Cool experience once, but next time I’ll admire the jungle from a safe (and cheaper) distance. 🌧️🐍🍹

If you want Applebee’s quality at 3 times the price - go here. The lettuce in our salad was wilted. The steak had zero flavor. It was disgusting. So disappointing. The manager was kind and refunded our money. But I would not go back.

This was my first time with my family coming here. Initially we were excited & looking forward for our table. But as soon as we were sat everything just went downhill. We were 2 adults & 1 kid. We ordered a plate each and it took 45 minutes for the food to come out. & I try to be understanding but the waitress never once came back to check on us. She was taking care of other tables but us. They messed up our order twice and I know people make mistakes but they just straight up were rude.😭 So disappointing. We paid 86$ for two adult plates & 1 kids meal & 3 drinks. The food was not hot or cold it was just bland.😑 & The food wasn’t that great either. ( I say it respectfully ) Never again. This place is more for the aesthetic & pictures, that’s it!

Food looked good but had not much taste. Shrimp was rubbery and the drinks had no alcohol. We ordered food to go for our family and even though we told our server we were staying at a hotel she didn't bother to put spoons or forks . My expectations were high and I left utterly disappointed

Jasmine was our server this evening we were fine up until the point where we asked for our ticket, handed her our card to pay and she took over 10-15min to charge us, we saw her passed by twice with drinks for two different tables and as we were ready to leave we starting walking to the front since our baby started to get fussy and she started crying while waiting for her to charge us, the second time we saw her passed by she said “oh I haven’t charge you brb” 6min later she came back before this the second time I saw her passed by with drinks for a different table I walked back to our table to get our tip back(we always tip accordingly regardless the food whether we liked it or not, depending on the service) to my surprise she did had time to get the tip from the table but not to charge us, even our table was ready for a new guest and SHE STILL HADN’T CHARGE US THEN . my husband had the fish tacos which tasted like egg and to be microwaved, got the baby the python pasta again half cold half hot seemed like microwaved, I had the chicken something which was good big plate reasonable price. Overall we had a bad experience we had better expectations since this place had good reviews gift shop looked really cool we wanted to shop after our meal but unfortunately with this bad experience we just wanted to get out of there asap .

Honestly this is a really cool and pretty neat looking restaurant. I thought it was overall a little bit to loud with all the weird animal sounds and recordings and the humidity was a little to high for my comfort. We were seated very quickly but the one star is for absolutely horrible service. Five us sat for around 30 minutes without even having someone ask us for drinks. When one staff member realized they forget about us or didnt realize no one was serving us they apologized and said they would be right with us. 5-10 minutes later no one arrived. With the price of a plate 20$ish I would expect at least some service. We got up and walked out and not a single member of staff said a word to us. I would recommend going to McDonald's first. At least you get the service you pay for which is still better than this restaurant. We also went during off hours and so the excuse isnt it was just busy because it was not busy at all.
