I don't get all the Debbie downers on this restaurant. The Rainforest Cafe is awesome sauce. My sister in law dragged us here, and right off the bat I was impressed. Super awesome gift shop awaits you at the entrance. Filled with colorful plush toys and thin flimsy plastic creations. They really had the "we sourced this stuff from an Indonesian sweat shop feel, and passed some savings on to you. No better way to start meal with 2 2 year old's than letting them play with stuffed animals, then taking them away. Cool thing, is you totally get to relive this process when you leave because the entrance is also the exit. Wait Staff I really appreciated the uber young staff. I hate it when restaurants discriminate against people with "no experience". Give me a fresh faced high school kid who will exceed the amount of flare and doesn't sweat the finer points of service or try to hard. Hate it when the wait staff tries to hard. Price I thought the price was fine, when you factor in the cost of all the animatronic apes butterflies and HELLO that alligator, yeah it blinks. Felt like I was in Jurasic park. One of our party shit their pants but I won't tell you which one... That's my secret. Sure some of the animals have an odd affect both making the kids cry yet pulling them closer so when you go back to get food its another cry session. But its cool because the place is so loud you can hardly hear anything. I could have drowned sissy in-law in the fountain and no one would be the wiser. And I really like how they aren't afraid to stray from the jungle theme, Atlas the Greek Titan who for some reason had corn rows.. maybe it's there to appeal to the younger Gen X'rs... sure why the heck fire not, he belongs in the jungle, lets not over think this. I got the burger, and it was so much more than just a burger, it was an experience. Comes out on a plastic, cutting board not some boring old plate... umm can you say fancy as all fuck? I felt like the pope at times. Loved how they didn't season the meat, and it had that frozen patty quality which is great cause freezing kills germs. And you know that when you eat frozen meat you wont be nauseous the entire ride back to Ipswich constantly wondering "should I pull over and vomit on the guard rail on rt 128". So I was eating the burger, and it was rocking an odd new kind of flavor that I wasn't used to, almost a funk. After the meal My wife was like, "why did you keep eating it if it was bad" So I says back, "been a member of the clean plate club since 1981" And who's to say the meat was rancid, maybe its a new level of awesome I am not used to. So the awesome was more than I could handle, and I vomited. I put a pic up. Check it out soon cause the awesome crack fire marketing team @jungle cafe might take it the wrong way, be offended and take it down. OK, back to the benefits of vomiting up your lunch, 1. Now I can eat another lunch and its like a 2 for 1 with calories. Weight loss is easy when you body rejects the awesomeness that Jungle cafe and throws at you. and 2. I am more confident in my bodies ability to protect itself.. which is nice. Warmly, Alex William

If you haven't been to a rainforest cafe you're missing out. Especially if you have kids this is the place to be. I'm an adult and I love it, all the animals and I show it's just great. It's literally a rain forest with all the animals you would find. Kids are allowed to walk around alone and check out the animals as well. The drinks are Amazing! I have never had a bad alcoholic drink from here. Pay a little extra and keep the glass, that's what I did a cute souvenir. Now to the food , they don't have a huge selection but it varies in food. The names are rainforest names. I actually enjoy the food and the appetizers here. They also offer this thing called volcano and they make it this big thing, they yell volcano it's huge and it's cute a chocolate cake with chocolate drop and looks like a volcano. My server was so sweet , and we never waited much for anything. She was on top of the drinks and very attentive. I didn't get her name which I'm upset, but my fiancé and I enjoyed our experience. Oh when you go please make a reservation this place gets packed!

4 Stars for the Environment & the Joy my son gets when he goes... The food is Bleh... I always order up & get this elaborate seafood thing & am then pissed when I get it, portions are horrible, freshness is sub-par and just not fabulous... Ill stick with a salad or sandwich, but I just love the place.. The servers are all great & I always have a great time... Just need to have better adult options... Am a big fan!

After shopping at the Burlington Mall on a Saturday evening, my friend and I had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. There's a crocodile in a small pool in front of the gift shop. I've been to a few other locations in NY (now closed) and California many years ago. We were given a "Your Passport To Adventure" card and browsed around the gift shop (kids gifts, toys & souvenirs) until our "Safari" was called 20 minutes later. We lined up in the gift shop through a large arched fish tank with tropical fish. The restaurant and bar is dark with colored studio lights and it does actually sound like a jungle. There are some decent special effects of a big rain storm (rumbles of thunder, strobe lights, and rain), music & sound effects of a jungle, jungle leaves & branches along the walls & ceiling, fish tanks with tropical fish, tropical birds, butterflies, and the animals (the mechanical gorilla and elephant were moving around and making loud noises). The sound of rain and mist was constant. Now onto the food. We ordered some mixed fruit drinks and skipped the appetizers. For dinner I had the Rasta Pasta (grilled chicken, pesto, broccoli, red peppers, spinach, alfredo sauce over penne) and my friend had the Primal Steak (rare) with garlic mashed potatoes & veggies). Both dinners tasted good. While waiting for food, we enjoyed the fun atmosphere of a simulated jungle and wondering why many servers were shouting "Volcanooo!!!" I did see the servers with this huge lava cake with sparkling candle. Well, we now knew what we were having dessert then -- the Sparkling Volcano Dessert!!!! Our server came back yelling "Volcanoooo!!!!" before serving us the very huge dessert. The towering chocolate fudge lava cake and ice cream dessert was very sweet & rich. We couldn't even finish half of it. This dessert could serve four people. The service was good on this last visit. This is a great place for families with kids to have dinner. The prices here are moderate (paying for the atmosphere).
