T-Rex Reviews

[feline figaro]

Am thinking of trying the new T-Rex restaurant, we saw it in Oct & the theming looked great but we did nt try eating there.
Has anyone tried eating there, what did you think?

In comparison to the Rainforest Cafe would you say its worth trying or that RF is better

Thanks for your advice

My family and I thought it was "just ok." Expensive, mediocre food. The scenery was fun, but that was about it. I think it's worth going at least once, but I don't see myself ever going back. As for comparison to RFC, I don't think I can help much. I've only eaten at RFC once and that was when I was a kid, so I do not remember much. I hear it's pretty comparable, though, and that T-Rex is just a RFC with dinosaurs.

Both restaurants are owned by the same company, so I would expect the food would be about the same as the RFC.....BAD. But I'm going there latter this month anyway!!

I have reviewed T-Rex for my flog (food blog). I think it's a little better than Rainforest, though that's not high praise.

We went 2 weeks ago and DS7 loved it. It is very loud though and it's hard to carry on a conversation. DS loved the Build-a-Dino at the end of the meal too. Food is pretty much the same fare as RFC. I personally prefer the theming of RFC but it was something different so it was worth a try.

We're excited to try this in June no matter the reviews. The dining experience sounds AWESOME, and it's hard to screw up burgers, pizza, or pasta

Heres a thread that I think you may like to see. IT has some good reviews and pics of the T-Rex cafe. Hope this helps....

FYI, to anyone interested, TRex will start taking reservations starting tomorrow, Jan 5th! You have to call the restaurant directly.

We were not too impressed with T Rex, the theming is nice (kids really enjoyed it) But did not think the food was much to talk about, we probably won't return for a while. We do like RFC slightly more.

Can I get for one minute and ask if they take AAA discount? Does anyone know? I've just made my reservation for April.

No, it's down by the McDonalds.

I've been twice - I'm glad I went and I thought the food was very good (but overpriced). Don't miss the frozen mojito - YUMMY!! However, I have to agree with the PP, it is very, very loud (especially during the meteor shower) and quite honestly, I would rather put that much money towards a meal at Kona's or Portafino if I'm not eating in the park.

(another slightly off-topic comment - if you enjoy Rainforest, I would heartily recommend the breakfast at the RFC at Animal Kingdom - it's a do not miss for our family!)

I asked if they offered a AAA discount and was told no. The 2 RFCs by me do so I thought maybe they would.

Give them a little time. I called to ask if they accept the Club Card Rainforest Cafe has and currently no, but they will in a few weeks. This allows you certain benefits, discounts and priority seating.

We thought the food was very good (better than RFC) but it is very expensive. It cost $60 for just the two of us and I only had one alcohlic drink...which was amazing.
