I love this place. They have a very good selection of food and the portions are of good size. It’s a little pricey but you are on the riverwalk and for me it’s worth it. The hostess could be a little more excited about her job and in how she greets people. Our server was good but never came and offered refills and walked by the table multiple times when we had empty dishes to be removed. Also we received an appetizer with no plates. We started with the bruschetta and it wasn’t bad but I would prefer the ingredients already on the bread personally but it wasn’t bad. I had the lasagna and it was excellent. We also got the chicken pasta with mushrooms cucumber and tomatoes and it was good but the pasta noonedles could’ve been cooked a little longer. I did enjoy the photographer that walked around and bought some photos.

Celebrating my wife’s birthday in San Antonio we ended up at Rainforest Cafe during a stroll at the River walk. I had already marked Rainforest Cafe as a restaurant to visit anytime we were near any of their locations. November of 2025 was the time. The restaurant decorations make you feel that you are walking thru the jungle to get to your table. Make sure you are looking all around you for subtle details. The service was great and they warn you that the decorations are not just that, some of them are animatronics that are paired with restaurant-wide sound bites of gorillas, monkeys, elephants and jungle sounds in general. We ordered the Taste of the islands, and a Grilled meatloaf with a Hurricane for a drink. The portions were great as was the flavor. We are looking forward to being able to visit some of the other locations of this restaurant.

I had a reservation and arrived on time, but the lady at the front took her time attending to me. When I was finally helped, they tried to blame me, saying I wasn’t on time and that I should have gone up sooner, which was frustrating and unprofessional.

The experience only got worse from there. They brought me the wrong order, and instead of fixing it quickly, the staff seemed to be slacking and not paying attention. It felt very unorganized and careless. Customer service was lacking, and no one seemed in a rush to make things right.

The food itself was extremely disappointing. The texture was off, the presentation was sloppy, and it definitely did not taste fresh. For the price we paid, it was beyond disappointing.

On top of that, the utensils were dirty, which was completely unacceptable. Everything just felt unclean, and there was even a smell inside that reminded me of dirty water. It made the entire experience uncomfortable.

Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. I will not be coming back and would not recommend this place to anyone.

The only positive part was a staff member wearing blue who helped us get our to-go boxes. They were kind and made the experience feel a little better despite everything else.

First time at Rainforest Cafe and was impressed. Aesthetics of the restaurant was unique and beautiful. The service was awesome. Thank you to our server, Eric, who gave us his recommendations and he was spot on! The Brushetta chicken was delicious! Eric was very attentive to our table during a busy time which is not always the case. Eric was also very accommodating and understanding as we had unexpected need to leave urgently and he got us out in no time! Thank you Eric for your service and providing a great first impression of this restaurant! Great vibe, great drinks and great food!

This was my first time ever at any Rainforest Cafe and my fiancés first time being at the San Antonio location and this was his idea. We were celebrating his 29th birthday and he is a VTuber, so he wanted to bring along his avatar’s mask he had created and take pictures around the restaurant. When we asked our amazingly sweet, great recommender of drinks and food waitress Joana if we could speak with the manager for permission for our silly shenanigans photo shoot, she gladly got him. The manager, Jonathon, not only gave us his most enthusiastic blessing, but also gave us dessert on the house and whipped up and amazing blended espresso martini for me after I went on about how much I enjoyed their regular espresso martini, on the house as well. They really made the experience special and fun for us silly adults with the hearts of children still.

I came to this place just to try something different. And we ate dinner. I wasn’t expecting the food that good and the place is magical, I love it. It is a beautiful experience. Sorry for the food photos but it was that good that I forget to took the pic at the beginning bc it looked so tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

What an amazing meal. To start, this location on the riverwalk is absolutely gorgeous, and the tree house style design of the restaurant is so cool.
Our server Desiree was a refreshingly bubbly and super knowledgeable server. She was super friendly and it’s quite obvious how much she loves her job as she made us feel welcome like we were family.
My significant other and I ordered the rib steak and shrimp combo and omg yummmm!
The steak was perfectly grilled, the ribs literally FELL OFF BONE they were so succulently delicious and the fried shrimp were .
I wish I had another set of hands so I could give this restaurant and experience 4 thumbs up
Kudos All Around

This was my first time with my family coming here. Initially we were excited & looking forward for our table. But as soon as we were sat everything just went downhill. We were 2 adults & 1 kid. We ordered a plate each and it took 45 minutes for the food to come out. & I try to be understanding but the waitress never once came back to check on us. She was taking care of other tables but us. They messed up our order twice and I know people make mistakes but they just straight up were rude. So disappointing. We paid 86$ for two adult plates & 1 kids meal & 3 drinks. The food was not hot or cold it was just bland. & The food wasn’t that great either. ( I say it respectfully ) Never again. This place is more for the aesthetic & pictures, that’s it!

This was such a fun restaurant. If you are wanting to go for a nice walk too it’s quite litterally on the beautiful river walk. This restaurant was three stories tall and had plenty of animals. It’s the only location with pandas. It has tons of gorilla, a tiger, a large snake, live fish, a soft shell turtle, and even a waterfall that flows through several floors. It is on the pricier side and our waiter was not very attentive. The food was good and the overall experience was enjoyable!

The atmosphere was awesome — thunder, animals, and all the jungle chaos you could want before lunch. The food, though, looked way better than it tasted. Our server, Casey, was a nice guy but already looked like he’d survived a hurricane in the Amazon, and it was only 11 a.m. Service was okay, not great. And for $200, I half expected a gorilla to bring me dessert or at least a free souvenir cup. Cool experience once, but next time I’ll admire the jungle from a safe (and cheaper) distance. ️
