Very good! The python pasta was delicious. Very garlicky, so beware if you’re sensitive to garlic. I loved it! Drinks were delicious and ambiance is unmatched. Servers are fun and energetic.

Love Rainforest. We try and stop whenever we’re in town. Chris N took great care of us. Helpful with the menu, patient with our kids, was super friendly and made the meal so wonderful and memorable. The menu offerings are great for kids and adult. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so fun. It kept the littles entertained while we waited for the food. We walked up and waited maybe 10 minutes for a table. Reservations are recommended, especially for larger groups!

★★★★★ 5.0 Haylee M · Feb 2026

I’ve been dying to go here for so long and had it very hyped up in my head and it was absolutely worth it! Of course the pricing is high but that’s to be expected for the location but I think the food quality was worth it! I have only tried the quesadillas and Mac n cheese and they were both amazing! The entire experience was so cool as well with all the decor and sounds! Absolutely worth it!!! PSA- make a reservation or be prepared to wait.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dave Cope · Dec 2025

The Rainforest Café at Disney Springs is a fun and lively spot, especially if you’re visiting with kids. The restaurant is decorated exceptionally well — the jungle theme, animatronic animals, and periodic “storms” make the whole experience feel like an adventure. It’s definitely one of the more entertaining dining options in the area. The menu is surprisingly diverse, with plenty of choices for just about any taste. The food itself was tasty, though I’d describe it as elevated bar food rather than anything gourmet. Still, the portions were solid, and everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. Overall, it’s a great place for families or anyone looking for a unique atmosphere and a wide range of menu options. Just don’t go in expecting fine dining — go for the experience, and yo

★★★★★ 5.0 Teo Pellegrino · Dec 2025

We had a great time at Rainforest Cafe in Disney Springs. It had been years since we’d been to one, so it felt like a fun throwback and very nostalgic. Our older kids especially loved it. The atmosphere is really what makes this place. It’s immersive, lively, and entertaining. Our server, Jill, was fantastic. She was very nice, attentive, energetic, and genuinely helpful, which made the experience even better. The food was pretty good. Not amazing, but solid and enjoyable. Overall, it was a fun experience and a great stop for families, especially if you’re looking for something nostalgic and unique.
