   I have been to the Galveston Rain Forest cafe several times prior and have never really cared for my food. I have always thought it was over- priced and honestly not that good. The kids begged to go on this trip and I did not have high expectations. I had the ribs, coconut shrimp and steak combo. The shrimp and ribs were absolutely delicious. The steak was left on the plate unfortunately, but everyone else at the table was very happy with their meal. I will be back but will not order that steak! I am happily surprised that the food was enjoyable and I did not feel "ripped off".

   Very good care taken regarding our food allergy. Very good service. Key lime pie that we took to go was rancid. Unfortunately we didn’t realize that until we had eaten a few bites. 2 burgers and fries, 2 pieces of pie, one bar drink and one tea was $100.

   Good service and less than 5 minute wait time with reservation on Mother’s Day! Staff were attentive and Cha Cha the frog was an added plus. I definitely recommend this location.

   Phenomenal experience from start to finish! Great staff, awesome food, even better service. My kids always love coming here every time we're in Galveston. You MUST make a reservation or else you're not getting a table, but then again it's because they're so good at what they do.

   I’ve been coming to Rainforest Cafe for my birthday for years. The food is still excellent and I still love the scenery! My only complaint was the volcano changes. I remember years ago that the volcano came with the birthday but my server insisted that wasn’t the case and it came with a small chocolate cake with whipped cream that was still good to its credit but just not as good as the volcano. I do remember seeing the volcano given to another birthday group but I’m not sure if they were charged or not for it. Despite my complaint, I still loved my time here and I’ll still be coming back. I’m just sad about the volcano cake.

   What an awesome experience! The water ride was definitely a highlight, and the drinks in the fun souvenir glasses were a plus. Most importantly, the chef came out and specifically handled two food allergies at the table. We were incredibly impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail the staff showed and will be back!

    The food was very mid and over priced. But the vibe was fun and exciting for the little kids which is the primary reason we chose to eat here while visiting Galveston.
