ProTip: The wait can get up to 2hr at around 6pm. Walk around back to the Lava Lounge for instant seating and the same menu. You can take the kids inside to "see" the cafe .

Susan Brown

The wait for our table was very long despite having reserved a table. Nevertheless the hamburger was delightful and the “VOLCANO ” was super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashley Powell

Awesome friendly service ! Our server Felicia was amazing. Very personable and made our experience one of a kind. Neat interactive environment, great for kids and families of all ages! Highly recommend

Diane Deal-Hardy

If you don't want to wait for a table, just sit at the bar ! Full menu! Turkey Bacon Wrap was excellent, as well as the Bacon Cheeseburger . Pricey , but filling and very good!

Enrique Atilano

Everything is awesome, place, food, service, best place for family lunch or dinner in Disney Springs with no doubt!

Jonathan Hoster

The "Pastalaya " (jambalaya ) is outstanding! Ask for it with Caribbean rice instead of pasta . ???? Delicious food and excellent service!

Colleen H

Jay was our server and he was great, super friendly ! The nachos & chimi-cha-chas are awesome appetizers . Get the VOLCANOOOO to share for desert at the end! Fun and tasty time :)

Antonietta McGoey

You can skip the long wait for a table if you get seated in the main dining hall away from the "animals". BUT, you can walk around & see the animals.

Arianna Miller

The 'pastalaya ' was incredibly good. Super fun atmosphere and great staff . Our table was ready early, and we got our food and drinks promptly on a Saturday night.

Melissa Lee

The food was good, but a little on the pricy side (you are at Disney after all). I couldn't believe how popular this place was! So busy.

Alan Carley

For those that complain and want to go to T Rex know that it is the same company and same base menu only with dinosaur names. Want five star dining, don't choose a family restaurant then complain

Aliette Valiente

Great for dining with kids, the rainforest comes to life every 15 minutes. The margarita salmon wasn't great, but overall the experience was good. The kids loved it!

Kevin Vincent

Always a good meal here or at the Animal Kingdom location. Make reservations for weekends and Friday nights to avoid long waits .

Sarah Rollins

All food is good here.. Just a little pricey .. T-Rex across the way also has great food

Joseph Illingworth

If you don't have time to wait for the Cafe , children can sit at the bar where the full service menu is available. We sat backwards to watch the show.

Chris Pont

If there's just a couple of you, sit at the bar . You avoid the wait, it's much more chilled and you're closer to the beer taps ;-)

Edward Dudley

If it is super busy, follow around to the back. Lava lounge , bartender is super friendy and accommodating. Best of all, no wait!

Matthew Phillips

They take Disney Dining, but it's not a Disney-run restaurant , so don't expect Disney-level customer service. Reservations are a vague idea, and they act like you're lucky to get a table either way.

John H

Love the wings !!! Been going here every year we visit Disney since 2004. Can't wait till the next visit!!

Jordan Fernandes

This place is awesome!!! A little pricey , but the food and even moreso the atmosphere justify it... Say hi to the gorillas for me, and BEWARE of the sudden thunderstorms!!!

Jackie Carvalho

Very good service and the quesadillas were delicious! The Volcano is huge! Try the sangria ! ????

Jordan Fernandes

This place is awesome!!! A little pricey , but the food and even moreso the atmosphere justify it... Say hi to the gorillas for me, and BEWARE of the sudden thunderstorms!!!l

Maria Julia Rosa

Ask the manager for vegetarian dishes , they have some awesome options!

Cathy Mannor

Be sure to sign up or use a Landry's select card to get faster preferred seating. Simply show them your card when you walk in.

Krista Grams

Everything is delicious and I absolutely love the atmosphere. I always have to eat here at least once on my vacation!

Greg Kensington

The nighttime volcano eruption is a must see.

Caroline

Ask to sit in the ice cave ! Coolest spot in the restaurant !

Yolanda Johnson-Bryant

Every child should visit this place. Watch out for cooky employees, ask for Rachel, she is the best.

Andy H.

Everytime someone orders their volcano desert , the servers obnoxiously yell "VOLCANO ". Cute at first, then becomes incredibly disbursing and self-serving during your meal.

Paulo Aquino Oliveira

Beautiful place. It is a incredible thematic cafe . Must see place.

Tim Seamans

Don't forget to cover your food when the thunderstorm starts ;-) The appetizer sampler is worth sharing and strawberry lemonade is great.

Rowan Cecil

If you go to this specific location make reservations before you get there!

Baruch Herrera

The rainforest Burger is delicious. !

Al Nikocevic

Love coming here the food is good the kids love it

Kaitlyn Moores

Tristan was a great enthusiastic waiter ! Really made my birthday dining experience even better, thanks!!

Alan Bruce

Google "Laundry Card". It gets you to the top of the wait. 3hrs became 2 minutes!

Anthony

Great banquet style meal, love the bread puddingish stuff

Amelia Rose

The atmosphere is the whole reason to go there. But the food is good too!

Clementine Mottola

The gift shop not only has great customer service, but 12 squish penny designs along with 4 squish quarters!

Ben Jordan

Great place for a meal and an experience for the whole family.

Stacey Pritchett

Paul the manager was awesome! He comped our appetizer , offered us drinks and made sure we had a great experience after our rude waiter .

Jon Trick

If you are a Landry's Select Club member ($25), there is no wait for a table :)

Eddie M

This was my view from the table. Nice. Not couple friendly . We had less "Ka-Ching" value.

Bethanne Babbs

Coconut shrimp is delicious! The atmosphere is pretty great, too.

Big Mark

Giant erupting volcano ???? and good food.

Sean Miller

Primal steak with mashed potatoes was very good!

Chad Hembree

The lines for this location can be incredible. Go early.

Rodrigo J

If you don’t like spicy and fried stuff, go away! But the place is very nice !!

Justin Lisenby

Such a fun experience and great food!

Stacy Speel
