    We had such a great experience at Rainforest Cafe, and Kris truly made it unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, Kris was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. They were amazing with our group, kept everything running smoothly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Kris’s positive attitude and great energy really stood out and added so much to the fun atmosphere. It’s clear they care about their guests and take pride in providing great service. If you’re dining here, you’re lucky if Kris is your server. we’ll definitely be back and hope to have them again! 🌿🐸🍽️

    The truth is that we went for the rainforest themed dining which is a magical experience for the kids. But the food was pretty decent too. There is a "thunderstorm" every 15-20 minutes where you hear thunder, the lights go brighter like there is a lightning, and the animals act upset, moving and making sounds. When we were there, there were also a few people going from table to table making balloon animals for the kids and telling kid-friendly jokes. Overall, the kids loved it. Beware of the gift stop on the way out if your kids cannot contain themselves and want to buy everything in sight.

    Can't beat the Rainforest for the ambiance, wild animals come to life when the lightning and thunder happen every quarter hour. Anyway, it's been a long time since my wife and I had eaten here and we very happily reminded of how good the Pot Roast and Cheeseburger we ordered. We're from Tucson and came to Tempe/Chandler to do some shopping at AZ Mills Mall and the Premium Outlets and decided we'd check out the dinner fare. We'll be back soon!
