Fernando Kikudome

Worth a visit. Place beautiful and service awesome. Lasagna and NY steak tasteful. Ribs not so much. The Orlando homemade beers and drafts are delicious. And the Chocolate Extinction serves 5-6. Nice!

Jennifer Foster

Our waiter showed awesome hospitality . My French onion soup was really good! The atmosphere is incredible. It does get a little loud during meteor showers every 15/20 minutes. Pricey but we enjoyed!

Dustin Gavin

The Triassic Tortellini with chicken is a great choice. If you're hungry, it will definitely fill you up. Make a reservation in advance as this place is popular. I would come back.

Noel Clarke

The kids love it. dinosaurs everywhere and the sounds that go with it. The food is decent to. Try the meatloaf and staff are always very friendly . Easy to go to with a big group too.

Kelly Harmantas

Most of the food is not great & very overpriced. The best item is the omnivore's salad ! The atmosphere and theme is very well done. Great gift shop area/Build-A-Dino if your kids love dinosaurs

Shannon Sewell

The meteor shower is pretty loud and frequent for those with sensitive littles. Food is pretty good for what it is. We always have a great time. Kids love it and everyone always has a great time.

Apu Wallbrecher

Usually 20/25 min wait but worth it. Loved it, dishes are large and they do have veggie options . It does get dark and the dinos move a bit and groan. My 1 year old loved them, but yours might not.

Ronald Patterson Jr

Food was great. Little on the expensive side, but that's expected with a Landry restaurant . Get plenty of food and the desserts are great as well . The ice cave can be a little much on the eyes.

Gypsie J

Fun place to take the kids if you are at the Parks or for a special occasion . It does get loud in there at times. The onion soup is amazing! The entree The Trio is delish!!

John Kraft

Dino-themed family restaurant in Disney Springs with jungles & ice cave decor. We split beef nachos & roast chicken flatbread . Pricey because Disney, but service good, food good & fun decor .

Eric Stankovitz

Sweet atmosphere. If u like the rainforest cafe , this restaurant tops it in every way. Extremely busy, but great food. Try the ribs .

Evette Gesualdo

Beautiful bar , excellent food and service. Kids loved it . Overall an excellent experience!

James Dobbs

When you arrive make sure you stand in the correct queue! There will be three: 1) I want a table 2) I've booked a table why am I queuing 3) I've done queue 1 or 2 and finally I'm going to have a seat.

Marcel Bautista

I highly recommend this place if you have small children. Great atmosphere. Tasty food. Huge portions . You can't go wrong. Make a reservation to cut down your wait time.

DJ HBangeleyez (Ashley)

Great atmosphere and the food was delicious. My first time here very similar to the rainforest cafe but prehistoric creatures. I definitely recommend it for families.

Phil Russell

Awesome place, Elisha B was the best waitress ! Wanna build the Ice Cave in my house. Sat with Triceratops and he was the best lunch partner I've had in awhile, although he didn't split the bill! LoL

Baochau Tran

Food was good and the theme restaurant was cute . Great for kids. T bone steak was great. Dessert was pretty good too.

Derek Lippold

Steak is was great? Atmosphere is VERY loud but the Dinosaurs were great. A bit pricey so best for special occasions .

Samantha

Grab a seat at the bar under the squid . You can eat from the full menu and the wait is much shorter. Also the bartenders have always been a lot of fun.

*Sabrina

When the waiter asks for your birth day, tell em you don't have one, u were hatched. ;D If u have Jonathan as a waiter , you'll get an excellent response that surprises even the shrewdest of men!

Alexandra Goldstein

Decent rotisserie chicken , nice onion rings and a wide selection of other entrees. Kids get a headband & enjoy regular "meteor showers " with flashing lights, sound effects & animatronics. Noisy !

Kayla Harbin

The nachos and quesadillas are super good and you get a ton to share or take home with you! The food is just like Rainforest Cafes .

Jenny Janz

This place is great with Gluten Free or special food allergies..they send the chef out to help you with what you can order. VERY happy with how they handled keeping us safe!

mariajose

The food was awesome! Had the tortellini with chicken , and my party had fish , chicken and shrimp and everyone loved it. Service was also really good from Nick.

Ryan

This place is a must-do if you are at Disney World. Make sure to make reservations far in advance!

Jahdai Cintron

An amazing place to eat. The decoration is phenomenal. Make sure you see the meteor shower . The food is definitely on the expensive side, and but entrée portions are big. Moz. sticks bring only 5.

Russ Perkins

This place is an amazing dining experience right in the middle of the jurassic era. No matter where you sit, you have a dino table mate!

Stella Russotti

a little pricey , but hey, it's Disney. excellent food & great service to match.if u're going w/ 4 or more people definitely get the Chocolate Extinction for dessert .

Kathy Kurtz

Food was amazing! Service was great too! Something to do on special occasions , it is one of you upper price restaurants .

Raied Farghaly

Get the trio, it was delicious. Omnivore delight with chicken was great.

Derek SebastianWoods

Best place for NY strip between 1 and 4 #imo buy q 21oz caveman punch from the best server in the building Jay and get a FREE souvenir glass

Jeremy Wright

Don't wanna wait 4 hours for a table? Go to the bar and sit/eat. Usually seats open all the time. Plus you get a great view !!!

Laura B

An awesome place. If you want to avoid the line and possibly mediocre food but enjoy the fun, have a drink and an app at the bar !

Azeez

Lovely for children , dinasour-themed Resturant, love the food ❤️

Nick Sowers

This place is awesome inside! It is pricey but no one comes to Disney to save money. The meteor shower was a bit of a let down. I was surprised at how good the food was. Way better than RFC.

H. Neto

It was a nice place years ago, now, too crowded and more like a junky fast food restaurant ,but the show with dinos still awesome for the kids!

Kayla Kelly

Remember to tip your dinosaur builders. $5 is good and well . Request Kayla, she builds the best ones. Then tip her. Heavily.

Bob Haag

This is a great themed resturant. We loved the sampler app,but it wasn't enough for 4 people.Our waitress Virginia was A++ and made our night the best!

Greg Kensington

Coolest place to eat with kids. So much to see no matter where you sit. Choose the ice cave on hot days.

J Rodriguez

Ok i guess, food was good bronto burger was really good and so were the quesadillas ... Little pricey thou... My 3 yr old nephew was scared of dinosaurs ????

Bethanne Babbs

The Rotisserie Chicken is great! Make sure to come here when you are very hungry, everything is in huge portions .

Kristin Knutson

Check in to your reservation as early as you can or else you'll still have quite a wait! The Mammoth Mushroom Ravioli is delicious.

rosa fernandez

Great ambiance for kids, gets a little too loud and food is ok. Try the cotton candy martinis :)

Anita K

The Atmosphere is Awesome! Food is a lil above average prices. I will try it next time we go back.

Paul Howells

Go to the bar order some drinks ,sit at bar whilst waiting to be seated and staff will come and get you when table is ready .it beats waiting in line like all the other people (sheep).

Tracey Postiglione

Sat in the corner booth in the ice cave and it truly was the best seat in the house!! Candy Apple-Tini was very yummy! Loud but kids really enjoyed it!

Bob Haag

The app sampler is awesome and adding ribs makes it so good.Not enough food for 4 though. We also loved the theme and our waitress Virginia,she is A++!

Erin Bursley

A fun place to go! The food is good...you could probably split a meal...very generous helping . A bit pricey but worth the fun!

Michael Heckel

If you don't have Children, go to the bar and skip the line ... you can eat and drink and faster service.... plus enjoy eating under a giant octopus

Billy Madden

For sure get the Mango Mojito (frozen). Really good! The ribs were also amazing! Its worth the price for the food and atmosphere, people who complain about the price are just cheap .
