Worth a visit. Place beautiful and service awesome. Lasagna and NY steak tasteful. Ribs not so much. The Orlando homemade beers and drafts are delicious. And the Chocolate Extinction serves 5-6. Nice!

Our waiter showed awesome hospitality. My French onion soup was really good! The atmosphere is incredible. It does get a little loud during meteor showers every 15/20 minutes. Pricey but we enjoyed!

The Triassic Tortellini with chicken is a great choice. If you're hungry, it will definitely fill you up. Make a reservation in advance as this place is popular. I would come back.

The meteor shower is pretty loud and frequent for those with sensitive littles. Food is pretty good for what it is. We always have a great time. Kids love it and everyone always has a great time.

The kids love it. dinosaurs everywhere and the sounds that go with it. The food is decent to. Try the meatloaf and staff are always very friendly. Easy to go to with a big group too.

Most of the food is not great & very overpriced. The best item is the omnivore's salad! The atmosphere and theme is very well done. Great gift shop area/Build-A-Dino if your kids love dinosaurs

Usually 20/25 min wait but worth it. Loved it, dishes are large and they do have veggie options. It does get dark and the dinos move a bit and groan. My 1 year old loved them, but yours might not.

Food was great. Little on the expensive side, but that's expected with a Landry restaurant. Get plenty of food and the desserts are great as well. The ice cave can be a little much on the eyes.

Awesome place, Elisha B was the best waitress! Wanna build the Ice Cave in my house. Sat with Triceratops and he was the best lunch partner I've had in awhile, although he didn't split the bill! LoL

Dino-themed family restaurant in Disney Springs with jungles & ice cave decor. We split beef nachos & roast chicken flatbread. Pricey because Disney, but service good, food good & fun decor.

Fun place to take the kids if you are at the Parks or for a special occasion. It does get loud in there at times. The onion soup is amazing! The entree The Trio is delish!!

Sweet atmosphere. If u like the rainforest cafe, this restaurant tops it in every way. Extremely busy, but great food. Try the ribs.

Great atmosphere and the food was delicious. My first time here very similar to the rainforest cafe but prehistoric creatures. I definitely recommend it for families.
Evette GesualdoJuly 10, 2015
Beautiful bar, excellent food and service. Kids loved it . Overall an excellent experience!
Marcel BautistaDecember 3, 2013
I highly recommend this place if you have small children. Great atmosphere. Tasty food. Huge portions. You can't go wrong. Make a reservation to cut down your wait time.
Alexandra GoldsteinApril 16, 2015
Decent rotisserie chicken, nice onion rings and a wide selection of other entrees. Kids get a headband & enjoy regular "meteor showers" with flashing lights, sound effects & animatronics. Noisy!

This place is great with Gluten Free or special food allergies..they send the chef out to help you with what you can order. VERY happy with how they handled keeping us safe!

Grab a seat at the bar under the squid. You can eat from the full menu and the wait is much shorter. Also the bartenders have always been a lot of fun.

Food was good and the theme restaurant was cute. Great for kids. T bone steak was great. Dessert was pretty good too.
Derek LippoldJanuary 14, 2017
Steak is was great? Atmosphere is VERY loud but the Dinosaurs were great. A bit pricey so best for special occasions.
James DobbsSeptember 21, 2013
When you arrive make sure you stand in the correct queue! There will be three: 1) I want a table 2) I've booked a table why am I queuing 3) I've done queue 1 or 2 and finally I'm going to have a seat.
Kathy KurtzNovember 7, 2018
Food was amazing! Service was great too! Something to do on special occasions, it is one of you upper price restaurants.
Stella RussottiMarch 17, 2013
a little pricey, but hey, it's Disney. excellent food & great service to match.if u're going w/ 4 or more people definitely get the Chocolate Extinction for dessert.
Raied FarghalyJuly 8, 2017
Get the trio, it was delicious. Omnivore delight with chicken was great.
RyanSeptember 23, 2015
This place is a must-do if you are at Disney World. Make sure to make reservations far in advance!
Laura BMarch 7, 2013
An awesome place. If you want to avoid the line and possibly mediocre food but enjoy the fun, have a drink and an app at the bar!
Nick SowersMay 3, 2014
This place is awesome inside! It is pricey but no one comes to Disney to save money. The meteor shower was a bit of a let down. I was surprised at how good the food was. Way better than RFC.
Jahdai CintronSeptember 27, 2011
An amazing place to eat. The decoration is phenomenal. Make sure you see the meteor shower. The food is definitely on the expensive side, and but entrée portions are big. Moz. sticks bring only 5.
Jeremy WrightAugust 17, 2013
Don't wanna wait 4 hours for a table? Go to the bar and sit/eat. Usually seats open all the time. Plus you get a great view!!!
Kayla HarbinMay 13, 2015
The nachos and quesadillas are super good and you get a ton to share or take home with you! The food is just like Rainforest Cafes.

When the waiter asks for your birth day, tell em you don't have one, u were hatched. ;D If u have Jonathan as a waiter, you'll get an excellent response that surprises even the shrewdest of men!
Bob HaagOctober 18, 2012
The app sampler is awesome and adding ribs makes it so good.Not enough food for 4 though. We also loved the theme and our waitress Virginia,she is A++!
Tracey PostiglioneJuly 15, 2012
Sat in the corner booth in the ice cave and it truly was the best seat in the house!! Candy Apple-Tini was very yummy! Loud but kids really enjoyed it!
rosa fernandezSeptember 6, 2015
Great ambiance for kids, gets a little too loud and food is ok. Try the cotton candy martinis :)
mariajoseAugust 19, 2012
The food was awesome! Had the tortellini with chicken, and my party had fish, chicken and shrimp and everyone loved it. Service was also really good from Nick.
*SabrinaDecember 31, 2012
Your party is "expedition of..." which is cute. So loud though. Metor shower every 20min. A bit chilly so bring a sweater. Take advantage of all the photo-ops!
Bob HaagOctober 18, 2012
This is a great themed resturant. We loved the sampler app,but it wasn't enough for 4 people.Our waitress Virginia was A++ and made our night the best!
J RodriguezMarch 5, 2015
Ok i guess, food was good bronto burger was really good and so were the quesadillas... Little pricey thou... My 3 yr old nephew was scared of dinosaurs 😂
Paul HowellsApril 19, 2012
Go to the bar order some drinks ,sit at bar whilst waiting to be seated and staff will come and get you when table is ready .it beats waiting in line like all the other people (sheep).
CourtneyMarch 7, 2012
Amazing time! Great family place! However prepare to spend a while there, even w a reservation! It's also rather loud! Waitress was nice but rather scarce! We still had fun! ;)
H. NetoDecember 26, 2016
It was a nice place years ago, now, too crowded and more like a junky fast food restaurant,but the show with dinos still awesome for the kids!
Bob GreenfieldSeptember 15, 2017
Might scare the very young kids, but older kids love it. Decent food, usually crowded, good break from the Florida summer heat.
Bethanne BabbsMay 11, 2015
The Rotisserie Chicken is great! Make sure to come here when you are very hungry, everything is in huge portions.
Greg KensingtonJanuary 17, 2015
Coolest place to eat with kids. So much to see no matter where you sit. Choose the ice cave on hot days.
Jennifer BruceApril 13, 2014
Bring hand sanitizer and blinders. Apparently clothing is optional for toddlers in diapers. I wonder if the health department would agree?
AzeezAugust 13, 2018
Lovely for children , dinasour-themed Resturant, love the food ❤️
Anita KJuly 3, 2016
The Atmosphere is Awesome! Food is a lil above average prices. I will try it next time we go back.
Chris RSeptember 28, 2016
Food is very basic, nothing creative or exciting. Atmosphere is as loud as a rock concert. Bring ear plugs. Worth it for the joy on a ten year old's face. I'd do it again.
Jenn PeddeMarch 31, 2013
This place is hilarious, but worth the long wait. It may look ridiculous, but the food is actually really good. And the drinks are adventurous.

The chocolate extinction is big enough to share with 6 people!!!
