Angela did an amazing job. I’ve never been cared for so gently and lovingly. I put this experience above having my children and getting married. No critiques. I will keep these photos all my life. The thunderstorm eased my need to feel like a baby elephant in the jungle. for so long I’ve yearned for that feeling. Spending many a hour in the shower for a glimpse of the rain forest life and finally today I lived my dream. I am complete, I am whole. Never change rain forest cafe.

My husband and I had a pleasant dinner with Cal as our server at AZ Mills Rainforest Cafe. The food was excellent, with the Cajun Steak & Bourbon Shrimp and Bruschetta Chicken with Shrimp Scampi and Pasta Alfredo each as delicious as the next. Our server, Cal provided friendly service with a bit a humor and timely check ins. Atmosphere was fun and relaxing. Would recommend and will return again. Thanks again Cal!!

You do not come here to eat. You come here to experience. From the moment you step through the blue watery arches, you’re transported from the heat of the desert to the cool tropical climate of the jungle. The place is a character in itself, coming alive every 25 minutes in a thundery eruption of delightful chaos. Greeted by the friendly staff and helpful servers, you’re welcomed in the best way possible.
The food you ask? Delightful. Not only does each meal have a fun and whimsical name, but each meal comes with an incredible flavor profile. I have it on good authority that the creole mac and cheese is the best you’ll ever have, trust me.
To ADD to the experience, our server Asiah was so helpful, prompt, and attentive the entire time. My group was thoroughly entertained by Selah the balloon artist. we received not one, not two, but THREE pieces of art. A crown, a sword, and a lifelike Garfield!!!!
GO TO YOUR CLOSEST RAINFOREST CAFE IMMEDIATELY especially if it’s at AZ Mills

We stopped in for a late lunch after 1pm with a group of 2 adults and 2 kids, and although the place was still packed, we didn't have to wait more than one minute to be seated. Drink orders were taken immediately. Our kids' meals were brought out super fast and were perfect temp to eat, the adult meals took a bit longer, but we all finished around the same time. We've never been to a Rainforest Cafe before and LOVED the atmosphere. Such an entertaining place to wait for food. The food was AWESOME. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The servings (even the kids meals!) were big! We had no complaints about anything. The gift shop is huge and we looked around for about 20 minutes and didn't purchase anything, and were happy that we didn't feel any pressure to buy anything either. The kids meals came with a discount on a gift shop purchase as well.

I wanted to go to rainforest cafe as a kid but they closed in San Francisco and we never made it. During our 2025 holiday travels we flew through phoenix and came across this one by accident. I am an adult now and was able to relive my childhood through my 3 year old and 1 year old. The animal decorations were fun, the food was great, and the service was outstanding. We are expecting #3 which led to some chit chat with our server. Turns out he has a newborn (and probably sleep deprived) yet was full of energy and really seemed to enjoy his job. Thank you Kris, you really made our experience on that day!
