Editorial Review for Rainforest Cafe – by Chris Barsanti
In Short
While waiting for a table, hungry diners prowl the retail village, where cash-register ka-chings compete with chirping birds, roaring lions and chest-thumping gorillas. When the lights start to flicker, never fear--thunderstorms are part of the show. The menu is American comfort food--pastas, burgers, pizzas and salads--served with a tropical flair. There are plenty options that the kids will recognize, but enough novelty to keep the parents happy.

I have gone to RAINFOREST CAFE many times because it is my Godson's favorite restaurant. Each time I go it gets worse and worse. I remember when it first opened at Woodfield Mall several years ago the wait to get in was over an 1 hour long! Now, you can just walk in, get seated and be one of the only tables being served. Now, that is a sign of a bad restaurant! RAINFOREST CAFE is a great place for kids and they have a great selection on their kids menu. UNFORTUNATELY, for us adults, the food is by far the worst! Each time I go and order something different it ALWAYS makes my stomach sick! The menu is very limited as well. The next time my Godson wants to eat there I am going to have to pursuade him to eat somewhere else! I just cannot spen another dime on that nasty food!
Pros: Kid friendly!
Cons: Food is horrible!

The atmosphere is great. Kids LOVED it! The food was worse than awful. I ordered clam chowder and I SWEAR it came out of a can! I also ordered the crab cake sandwich. Their "version" was a pile of crab meat on a bun. It wasn't even pan fried. -I can honestly say I've never had a "crab cake" made that way. My kids got dinosaur shaped ckicken nuggets. --exact same ones I've purchased at the grocery store in the frozen food section. I could have opened a can of crab or soup. --or defrosted the chicken nuggets at home! And I wouldn't have paid 5 times what the food was actually worth!
