It was my first time at Rainforest Cafe and it was fun! My wife and I went there out of curiosity, since we are not kids and don't have any kids yet... We shared a few apps, a burger and had a couple beers...
Anyway, food was good but pricey...even for Chicago downtown you can find places cheaper and tastier. But I am assuming they are charging little more, because place is so different! all the jungle theme and decoration are pretty cool! I can see how all kids are in love with rainforest cafe!
Will go back when get some kids!
Wow! Now I don't normally criticize restaurant service. But service was horrible. I had a party of 6, and 2 of them were grand children. They brought out everyone's food except for my grandson, and he only ordered a grilled cheese kids meal. Well by the time they found it (waitress said it was lost) everyone was just a bite from finishing there meal, with the help of our grandson eating off of everyone else's plate. Next, it took them 4 attempts to get my bill correct, which turned into a lengthy process. Well I tolerated this, only because it was my grand kids choice. Next time I will just say choose someplace different.

This is very theme-based family restaurant with very typical family restaurant menu. Â Other than the decor of savanna (? I guess) there is nothing else to be excited about. Â So If you are not 9, this theme factor wouldn't really affect you. Â In fact it may go negatively on you because you can smell a bit of bleach that you smell at a public pool. Â So you decide.
That being said, their food was adequate enough that I hang 3 stars on them. Â We had burgers and clubs (I don't remember exactly what we had), and they were not bad. Â So, unless you have a high expectation on their food, it is not a bad thing to do once. Â Especially if you are tempted by the frog head in front of the restaurant.
