We went during my daughters birthday celebration weekend. Honestly we found the interior very cool- I was dazzled by the ice cave that changes colors lol. Yes, it's a lot similar to Rainforest Cafe, so if that's not your thing I wouldn't suggest T-Rex either. My husband orders cheeseburgers everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE. His triple cheeseburger was huge and tasted fine. I got the seafood/meat combo thing with steak, shrimp & an odd "bay-bay" scallop dealio. Everything on the plate tasted decent (the steak was actually very flavorful) aside from the weird scallop dish (I was expecting something like seared scallops, not scallops-au-gratin lol). Our little enjoyed her cute meal. We do like sweet drinks so we enjoyed our cocktails. You are definitely going for ambiance and not the flavor here. Yes, it is pricey and you might even say cheesy, but in a MAGICAL place like Disney, it felt pretty magical to us.
We went there on May 21st and my dino loving boys thought it was the BEST! I had the same pasta and thought it was a little bland also but my husband had the meatloaf and loved it and the kids loved their pizza they ordered. We've gone to Rainforest Cafe multiple times so we were excited to check out TREX!
I used to love going to Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney when I was younger. But as I got older it wasn't as much fun anymore. So, I agree these types of restaurants are more for the kiddos.
Thank you ladies for the review. Our family is going there in January and this was a great review for us. The grand kids will love the dinosaurs and the animatronics. The appetizer and dessert will be on our list for sure. As far as my expectation I figure it will be like some of the character breakfast meals that Disney offers. We are there for the characters and the food is ok.
Thank you SO MUCH for going to T-Rex! My 4 yr old LOVES dinosaurs & we're going to surprise her when we go to WDW and eat here. Now I know to get the dessert. Love you ladies. Y'all are friends I never met. ❤
I laughed when you said let me know if you've been to T-Rex. My daughter LOVES Dinosaurs! She's 20 now so we have tried some new places the last couple of trips but she still went in there and bought a plastic dino. LOL
I am a 35 year old Englishwoman and the first time I went to T-Rex cafe I was DAZZLED. Friends who are locals took me because they know how much of a dinosaur fan I am and I just love it. Yes it's cheesy, yes the food is just fine, but DINOSAURS.
My daughter made me go there on our last trip. I knew there were so many better places to eat, but the WOW factor got my daughter. I had low expectations for it. Ended up getting some kind of mushroom veggie burger and i was pleasantly surprised. However, I’m eating at Honecomin next time.
AllEars, can you guys please try to do something about the volume changes with the audio? Half the time I can barely hear them, and then the next cut scene my speakers are getting blown out. 😳
Meet the Robinsons - I’m not sure how well this plan was thought through. There’s your answer Quincy. Entertaining as always ladies!! Eating here tomorrow with the kiddos and that dessert is a Must!
You go here because you have kids. Once they get older and lost interest, you stop coming. As was stated in the video, much better places to eat at Disney Spring. But I will admit, I miss the days of eating there with my girls. Good memories!
So....Middle of the road food, that will not surprise anyone. Pretty much as I expected. Those Hot Nashville Wings were a pleasant surprise. Spicy food should be spicy. Thank you both for taking the bullet on this one.
Went there once when my daughter was little and loved dinos. We ate after going early to build a Dino. She still has Patty the apatosaurus and is now 17. Definitely is somewhere you go for the theming and not really the food - was passable but are definitely better meals out there. Maybe next time you go just for appetizers and desserts?
I love both of you...even undercover but I'll still have to pass, there are far too many better places to eat at the springs. The food is just too meh for me. Ok, the mouth explosion for dessert looked tempting at least.
i ate there after traveling to disney and wanted something quick and my friends liked the dinosaurs and i got a cheeseburger and fries and it hit the spot when i was starving
Went there once with kids & grandkids. And there is no worries if one of the little ones cuts up... the ambient noise level masks any vocal outburst. All that said, my wife is addicted to those cottontiny shaker drinks, and now T-Rex is a de rigeur stop whenever we go to Disney (without family in tow). We head directly to the bar to satisfy my wife’s craving, then we head out to have great food elsewhere.
Reality check: This is a restaurant for families with kids 12 & under. And with Disney gearing food & merch to adults that have the cash, it is great to have opportunities for kids. Nice job the review.
Did they seat you next to a giant moldy Twinkie? On the request of our daughter’s friend’s family (because they had coupons) we ate there 12 years ago. It looks like nothing has changed - a persistent deafening rumble of murmurings accompanied by a cacophony of strident sugar charged children with mediocre food. That said the girls enjoyed themselves but when recently asked about it, they have no recollection. It certainly left an indelible mark on my psyche; I believe it’s called PTSD.
Great to see some different restaurants even if they may not be for me. Is Tony's in the magic kingdom open? Is it time to check them out again. We once had our best meal there (a long time ago 2000 maybe) and our worse.
@allearsmolly I love that you dress up for all of your videos! You also give awesome tips! Can you do a disability access video around the parks? I would love to know what rides I can and can’t do being a wheelchair user and having back issues. ❤️
I would never go back to trex. The service was horrible and the food wasn’t that great and of course expensive. The waiter never came back with refills for our drinks and we asked and were ignored and I was charged incorrectly
