Rainforest Cafe

My experience here was absolutely awful. I asked to speak to the manager regarding options for celiac since I’m recently diagnosed and still figuring out what’s safe and what’s not. My waiter waved his said and said not necessary and I could just let him know what I was allergic to. I let him know I had celiac and couldn’t have gluten. I would have LOVED suggestions as to what was gluten free since the menu doesn’t specify. I ended up going the safe route with taco salad and it was so bland and TERRIBLY overpriced. Literally paid $22 for a bag of shredded iceberg lettuce with a half cup of beef on top and a sprinkle of cheese. Later learned they could have done gluten free pasta, but again, I had NO suggestions from server and the manager came over after I had received my meal. It was very disappointing and very frustrating as I was so excited to try Rainforest Cafe for the first time with my family. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone with Celiac. The food is NOT worth the price. Would avoid at all costs as they were also incredibly inattentive forgetting to bring a box for my SIL and they also completely forgot to bring my niece her apple juice, and never asked if we needed refills.

Went here with my family but did not feel safe enough to actually eat… The server offered some suggestions available like burger with gf bun, gf pasta and ceaser salad without croutons but nothing was marked gf. And the options weren’t dairy free friendly.

Le serveur est allé s'informer en cuisine. Sur le menu enfant pour ma fille, elle pouvait prendre la poitrine de poulet, le burger ou les pâtes sauce marinara avec à côté fruits et maïs. On nous a dit que les frites et nachos contiennent du gluten. Elle a aimé son repas. C'était une petite portion pour le prix. Le serveur a été très consciencieux. Lorsque l'assiette sans gluten est arrivé, il a eu un doute et l'a retourne en cuisine pour confirmer que c'était bien des pâtes sg. Le décor est magnifique et les enfants voulaient y aller pour ça. Heureuse d'avoir trouvé un option pour qu'elle mange.

Friendly staff and options that could be adjusted to be gluten free. Daughter had the option of gf pasta with different sauces, gf hamburger and bun or grilled chicken, 4/5 of the kids menu sides and ice cream for dessert. Nachos were not gluten free and no dedicated fryer but daughter was happy with the options.

Nothing is marked gluten free/friendly on the menu. Asked my server and she indicated I could have chicken (not beef) nachos, a hamburger with a gf bun, or pasta. I opted for the chicken nachos and the portion was very large and they were pretty good. The waitress advised that the nachos wouldn’t be served with the beans and she confirmed that the nacho chips were okay because sometimes they change the chips they use. A Manager came to the table to confirm the gluten free order wasn’t just a preference and to advise that precautions would be taken. Overall, pretty satisfied with the experience. It has been 24 hours and I do not have any symptoms of consuming gluten.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Would not waste time or money Very over priced and little options

Gluten free pasta, gluten free buns for hamburger that must be well done, or steak/ Fries are safe as well We sis not get sick but stressful with so little options

No dessert options

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Terrible experience. Felt rushed the make a decision with very little guidance on my options. Waitor didn't know what was gf. Poor service.

Separate gf buns and pasta. Manager came out. Brought my food separately. Did not get sick.

Loved the food. Waiter was knowledgeable and personable. I usually never go out to eat because I think it’s playing Russian Roulette at most place but I have eaten here 3 times and each time it was excellent and I did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a small gluten free menu (buns & pasta) but it’s delicious. Waiter advised us even though they have a dedicated frier it is not recommended for celiacs since the baskets are not dedicated to a certain frier. He recommended the fruit or veggies as a side instead of fries. He double checked with the chef about the pasta & reconfirmed it’s safe for celiacs before ordering. He also brought out her pasta separately to avoid any cross contamination. Food was good & safe for my little celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chef came out and spoke with me about my dietary needs. I had the anaconda pasta and did not have a reaction.

The waitstaff was amazing and assured us there is a dedicated dryer for fries and chips. My kids are both celiac and extremely sensitive and didn’t have any issues. There’s also a pasta option, but we didn’t have it.

Fantastic experience! Our server has celiac so he guided me through the menu. The manager came to our table and filled out an allergy ticket for the kitchen. This was the best eating out experience I have had since my diagnosis 2.5 years ago.
