Been to Rainforest Cafe a few times. Wasn't our first choice for lunch on this day but seemed like a good idea for the group of families we were with.
It's difficult for me to justify paying $$$ for food that is completely overpriced and just meh. I have no problem paying $$$ for amazing food. Rainforest is just OVERPRICED!!! It's a tourist trap. The group we were with ordered the Icee special souvenir cups...these were $8.99 each!!! Holy crap. We only got one. It was the same price as their kids meal.
I was scanning the menu and forgot how expensive this place is. Chicken dishes were $19.99 and up. Salads started at $16.99. Appetizers were pricey as hell. Couldn't get over the menu prices.
The kids got pizza and mac & cheese. The presentation was cute with junior food trays which reminded me of cafeteria food or prison food. Ha. Cute presentation. The kids meals are expensive at $8.99 and comes with free soda. My kids only get soda at special events like weddings or parties. I made an exception today since we were with friends.
I shared the appetizer sampler with my friend and ordered a veggie flatbread for myself. This was pretty good and the crust was nice and soft but I wish the crust was thinner.
At the end of the day, I wouldn't voluntarily choose to dine at Rainforest Cafe unless it was for a special party or with friends who chose this spot. The space is much smaller than other Rainforest Cafes we have been to. Not much of a spectacular show we have seen in the past at other locations. Way too small. The menu prices are a turn off. If you're going to charge absurd prices for your food, make it AMAZING!!!
