Definitely a place you go for your kids to enjoy the atmosphere rather than going for the food. It's definitely a hit or miss with the food. I love getting the Volcano Sundae for nostalgic reasons.
I go here often while visiting WDW but it's mainly for the kids, not the food.
Pros:
Great for KidsCons:

So my friend and I went to rainforest cafe just cause my friend tells me that area tends to be quieter in Disney Springs. We were thinking pandemic wise of where to eat so we just did this place. Our reservation was at 7:15 but we got there an hour early to ask if we can sit outside because of covid. We had heard the hostess tell people ahead of us say to guests that it was an hour wait for people doing a walk in. But when we asked to be seated outside when it was to be our turn, she told us she could actually seat us right then and there. I think the wait times were to sit inside in the main areas, so definitely keep that in mind when reserving a table! Other than that food was average but our waiter serving guests on the outside was awesome and very hospitable!
Pros:
waiters, food was average.Cons:
price is just a bit exaggerated for how basic the food was.Reviewed by hello12345 Review Date: 12/05/2013

We walked up on 12/01/13 at 4pm with no reservation and were told to come back at 5pm. We arrived back early at 4:45pm and we were called a few minutes later. The service was above average. I have ate at T-Rex before. The menu at Rainforest was considerably more limited when compared to T-Rex. We ordered some cheeseburgers, Chicken parm, and grilled chicken something. The food was above average to maybe good. Not worth the price though. The meal with no drinks or apps was over $90 for 4 people. The same stuff at Chili's or Applebee's would have been $50-60 at most. The atmosphere at Rainforest is boring compared to T-Rex, and I'm not really a fan of T-Rex either.

It is great to go once to experience the atmosphere. Beautiful! The food was OK. Nothing special. If it wasn't for the dining plan, we probably would have been upset over the prices. The menu has a lot of choices. Server was horrible. He kept trying to talk to us over the animals instead of waiting a few minutes for them to be quiet. It was very hard to hear him.

My grandson loves going to the Rainforest. We go twice a year. We went on 6-21. I tried to make a reservation on line but I as not able too. We were there at 11:43 am. We were put on the waiting list. It took 2:30 hours. Then when we were seated they put us in the corner so we could not see anything. I asked of we could have a different table. They moved us to the open lower dining room. Which really does not have much going on. The food was good but the service was terrible. From making our reservation to being seated. What a disappointment.

We dined at Rain Forest Cafe the week of Dec 6, 2015. We had dined at the AK location in the past and decided to try to DW location on this trip.
I didn't think the decorations - animals, trees and effects - were as good at this location as they are at AK. That was a little disappointing. There was lightning but no rain showers. Maybe we had a bad table but I only saw gorillas. Generally a little disappointed when compared to the other location.
The food was average. The temperature of the food was warm, not hot. And the quality was okay, but certainly not as good as many of the other restaurants we enjoyed during our trip.
Our waitress was attentive and very friendly. She brought drink refills automatically and seemed eager to please. Unfortunately, the lack of food quality and loudness of this restaurant were just not appealing to our family.
I would not recommend this specific location. If you're going for the effects - go to the AK location. If you're going for food, skip this one.

We went without any reservations to see the wait. They got us in by the bar instead of waiting 2 hrs. The experience was ok. But way too noisy and the food was just ok. For $150 for 5 people was not great value or worth the experience. Could have found a better option but kids were hungry. Look elsewhere.

Rainforest in Galveston....fries were cold, hamburger barely warm, lettuce on quesadilla plate was brown, mac and cheese was runny. Food cost too much to be served that way!! Should not serve bad lettuce. Could make someone sick.
