User Reviews

Brought the family here for their first time. My 4 year old liked the atmosphere alot. Maybe a little bit too distracting for him, the service was good, average wait time. Clean facility. Very good Food! Good restaurant overall. Definitely a place to check out if you haven't been to one before.

Love the atmosphere. The kids absolutely love coming here as there is a great display of relastic looking animals. You feel like your eating in the jungle. Menu is great for the kids. Regular menu is a bit small and a little pricey, but it's definitely worth it for the kids. They also have a store attached.

Way overpriced. There needs to be better lighting at the tables. It's very hard to even read the menu, had to use the flashlight on my phone. The restaurant needs to be updated especially when you figure 2 adults and 1 kid costs $100+ tip. The menu needs a bit more variety. The fish and chips is a good choice if you're in the mood for it. You get 4 pieces. I likely won't be going back unless there's some new menu items at least. Once you've been there, you've been there.

Some meals are a bit over priced for the quality & quantity. The most expensive appetizer for $30 feeds 2, The fish was very chewy, the adult drinks were watered down, the rasta pasta was ok, & the kids meals are so small that unless your child is under 5 they will be asking for more food like my kids were. & the 2 watered down adult drinks came in a souvenir glass we didn't want or ask for but were still charged for. We won't be returning or recommending.

This rainforest location was clean and the decor was great. That's it! Everything else was mediocre, below par and tasteless. The jungle seems to be serving all frozen or canned food. Corn, tilapia fillet, green beans; were frozen or straight from the can. If you are looking for casual dining to enjoy tasty food, you may want to avoid this location. Entrees are upward of $30 (for lunch also). Kids menu was good. The freshest food on the plate was an orange slice 😄

It is a unique restaurant with its own style. A very cool looking bar. Large aquarium with beautiful fish. Large statutes of animals to pose for pictures.

I love the place, all the details. The food was average. We sat at the bar and it was nice. Unlike some of the other locations it wasn’t constant noise. But that could be because we were at the bar. But it was fine for what we wanted. The only complaint is how loud they are. But I love how it looks for atmosphere it looks amazing, but again the sound. Definitely recommend if you don’t have a headache and are fine with the loud noise.

Food was way better than I expected (I had a burger; my date had salmon. We both agreed it was better than other chains and were really surprised). Frankly if you have a family or are in a long-standing relationship and aren’t coming here you’re dead inside. Who the hell doesn’t like the ambiance here?! Just a lot of fun.
