- KJKevin Anderson Jr1 day ago5.0Absolutely fantastic time at the rainforest Café in the Opry Mills mall in Nashville, Tennessee. We were celebrating a one-of-a-kind birthday for one of my best friends, Mackenzie C. Turning the bright age of 23 we had nothing less than an exceptional time. Mackenzie and I shared the awesome appetizer while one of our less interesting friends had the meatloaf. Well, I love the food did taste a little bit microwaved and from Cisco, the atmosphere was simply unmatched by anywhere else. If you are looking for a Fantasma time to escape the realities of the world, we live in any immerse yourself in the rainforest experience. That is the rainforest Café do it. Our server was Brandon and he was nothing short of amazing! We were seated right next to the tiger family and it was a super joyful experience. We got to experience a thunderstorm, three times! Simply can’t wait to be back this is definitely a birthday tradition in the books.
- SDSarah D.1 day ago5.0We have been here several times, but today was the best. Kim was our server. She was prompt, so personable, made great suggestions, and totally elevated our experience with her over and beyond efforts. Food was delicious and super fast. The crowd was low at this time, which helped with speed and aided in my little one being able to wander around to all of the animals. We are leaving with the best experience and full bellies! 5 stars!!!!
- CSCody Stevens3 days ago5.0Primal streak was phenomenal, me and my wife went with a 6 year old, a 10 year old, and a teenager. The place is absolutely beautiful. Our waiter Chris was the ideal example of what great service should look like attentive, friendly and it felt he was genuinely invested in making our experience enjoyable. Serving sizes are large and cooked by Hollywood-quality chefs. The atmosphere is amazing and kids love it.
- KLKaylie LancasterDec 31, 20254.0Food was excellent and so was our server and service. Please consider having kinder people working the gift shop. Sofia was rude to my children about them simply bouncing the moon ball near the register. When I asked her why she asked them to leave the ball alone she claimed they were near other customers which was untrue. Im sure its annoying they are near the register and she hears them during her shift but they are out for kids to check out and to consider purchasing. The entire restaurant is geared toward children and she should follow that model as someone who is front and center in the gift shop. I definitely did not consider making a purchase after the encounter with Sofia. Aside from this the restaurant itself and food was phenomenal.
- LLLiz by Design Photography LLCDec 28, 20255.0We had a fantastic experience at Rainforest Cafe in Nashville, TN, and if you’re visiting Nashville with kids, this is an absolute must-visit family-friendly restaurant! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Making reservations was easy, and the service was excellent. Our waitress, Bayley, was incredibly sweet, prompt, and attentive—she truly made our visit even better. The food was surprisingly great. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, and everyone at the table went crazy for it—hands down one of the best appetizers we’ve had. My kids split the adult chicken Alfredo, and every plate was completely clean (which says a lot!). I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps and have absolutely zero complaints—fresh, flavorful, and filling. The Rainforest Cafe decor and atmosphere are what really make this place special. The thunder and lightning storms every 30 minutes were such a hit, and watching all of the animatronic animals come to life was so much fun for both kids and adults. It’s interactive, exciting, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a kid-friendly restaurant in Nashville, a fun dining experience near downtown, or a place that keeps kids entertained while serving good food, Rainforest Cafe Nashville checks all the boxes. We had an amazing time and would absolutely return!
