Very nice restaurant and less busier than the one in Disney Springs. If you go to Animal Kingdom it's a great place to eat just try to make a reservation before you do but they do take walk-ins.

Ursula Palladino

Fun, family friendly , party friendly atmosphere with a wide variety of food and drinks for all appetites.

Marranda Boyd

Breakfast is good here with decent prices. It's also not as busy in the morning. Exit the restaurant through the store and it is quicker to get into the Animal Kingdom park !

Michel

Food is good, atmosphere is good, prices high and the waitress asked us if we were going to get desert whilst still eating. Seems they want you in and out fast.

Sarah W

I come here every year, and it is always amazing!! I always get the Rainforest Burger . It is so good!!

Laur Lo Ski

Absolutely loved the food, service and atmosphere! Be sure and get one of their souvenir drinks as they will give you a voucher for the gift shop to get a brand new glass!

Sean Miller

The food is always great! The service was pretty bad though. Our server completely ignored us for the first 15 minutes (all while taking care of a large table that got seated after us)

Jessica Rich

Rainforest Cafe is must-eat place for all ages and is good place to excite each kids about the rainforest animals and some geographical lessons about the rainforests.

Ursula Palladino

If the weather is nice, try a seat outside on the Safari Deck. Has a great atmosphere and serves drinks and full menu.

Chad Hembree

The service was excellent and the food tasted great. Seat 1100 people, so getting in is easier than some Disney area restaurants .

Karen Yvette

Try the Rainforest Natural Burger - They take mushrooms , beans, rice , etc and blend it together, grill it up and too it with guacamole . Delicious!!!!

Sam S

Get the Chix sandwich as it's well worth the $15. Also a good place to get out of the heat as the AC is kicking. Sit in the Bar area as the staff is fantastic and they keep your drink topped off.

Jake Smith

The service is extremely slow; make sure you don’t have a FastPass within an hour of dining here, because I can almost guarantee you it will not happen.

Adam Bulmer

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and the food was excellent.

Unless you really love monkeys, steer clear of this section of the restaurant whilst dining. The monkeys are very loud and yell constantly. I recommend sitting near a different group of animals. =)

The Transit Navigator

Stop by the Rainforest Café for a nice meal in an incredible environment. When you're done eating, check out the gift shop for some incredible goodies.

Jack Burke

*Outside* the Animal Kingdom fenceline and *not* owned by Disney. Be sure to take your park ticket/pass with you if you want to get back in.

Emilio C

Great place to eat at Animal Kingdom. The portion sizes are huge, you can order one entrée for two people.

Mehul Kamdar

Fantastic food, and service. Young lady from New York called Melissa, is especially efficient and nice.

Mark Beadles

Eardrum-shatteringly loud , louder than any rainforest has ever been except maybe when they're clearcutting them with heavy equipment. I think the fish are terrorized by the robotic elephants.

Ciro Rolandi

The food is so good.the salmon is so good.the atmosphere is so nice.3 more monkey jumping in rainforest

mLehua

ᴡ Murray

Bartenders are amazing. These guys work hard.

Valerie

The pita quesadilla is AMAZING! I order that as my main meal-& ok this is not the best place to eat, but for all who are saying its expensive - my quesadilla cost the same as a hotdog in MK. Its Disney

Ivy Hildebrand

Rasta pasta with shrimp added! Delicious!

Jan M

Ask for Paula as your server. She is best server I have ever had. Get the reward program info from her! She loves kids and people!

Mike Hill

Awesome service and great food! The whole family will love this place!

Matthew Burkhardt

One of the best restaurants for atmosphere in WDW, and I think. Food was great, too!

Bad Wolf

They now take the Disney Dining Plan! Check in on FourSquare and get a FREE Dynamite Shrimp appetizer . Very delicious.

Susan Brashear

The best veggie burger I've had in a long time. Excellent service . Great friendly bartenders . Highly recommended.

Dan

The barbecue bacon burger might just be the best thing I've had on Disney property so far.

Brandie Manuel

You can get seated right away if you sit in the bar . Otherwise - make a reservation .

Светлана Дудина

Lots of chocolate )))))) VoLCaNO is perfect - everybody should try it;)

Sue Spaight

If you have food allergies I can't recommend this highly enough. Chef came out and talked to us about our son's allergies to make sure they could prepare a safe meal. Incredible service all around.

David Telfer

Rhe volcano now has a silly bit of tinsel in place of the firework sparkler it used to have.... health and safety gone mad? Not as spectacular by a million miles. Shame

Amanda ✈️

The Volcano dessert was well worth the money! Yum!!

Patricio Arrangoiz

Great çfor a nice animal-themed dinner after a visit to awesome AK

Elana Thaxton Novak

Most people don't realize that if you 're with a small group you won't need reservations anywhere. 4 or less. Or belly up to the bar .

Carol Percival

Best food I love it here this is a 5 star for me.

Pete Connaughton

Coronarita is actually really really good! Awesome on a hot day

Clarissa McDaniel

Use this entrance to bypass some of the traffic at the main entrance

Curtis C. Fortin

AWSOME atmosphere

David White

Mike the bartender was friendly and very attentive. Took the time to give us suggestions about the menu, and the local attractions .

Julie Gillespie

Make sure you check in at the front, the bar is not open seating like every other rainforest cafe I've ever been to.

Gina Sanchez

The food is great but the service is consistently very slow. It took about a half hour just to get our appetizer . I always enjoy it but they need to speed it up

Jason Altland

Paradise Pot Roast is great! Really melts in your mouth.

Barbara M. Y

Love this place! Try the coconut shrimp ❤️

Die & Lau

Blue mountain sandwich yummy!

Adam Schirmer

Our waiter tried to sell us in on some points program when we sat down, which was kind of odd... Service was a slow too, and they weren't all that busy. The Rainforest Lager was pretty good.
