Description: OK, so call me on this one. This is a restaurant that is designed to please children, but I really enjoy going there. No so much for the noisy surroundings, but the food is really good (for what it is). The fish tanks are beautiful and among the best in our area and the decor is cute to say the least. It’s a 'bang for the buck' situation. Very good for the family if you are lucky enough to show up when there is little or no line. They will give you a timed ticket with an indication when you should return to get your table when the line is nearly out the door of the mall.
The food is basic American chow with a heavy emphasis on what children and young families like to eat. It’s priced accordingly. But the food is well prepared and well presented. Every time I have dined there, the service has been above average.
The Gaylord Texan Resort offers a free shuttle trolley to and from Grapevine Mills Mall and some families with young children who are staying at the resort give the kids a break with a trip over to the Rainforest Cafe.
We had hamburgers, large, fresh and very tasty and an enormous plate of potato skins. I had coffee, which was freshly made and served with real cream.
Not just for children, this restaurant has a full bar. In fact you can get into the bar without having to wait in the line for a regular table. As you can order food in the bar, this may be an alternative to the often long line.
If the sounds of roaring lions and screaming monkeys don't set your nerves on end, you might want to give this place a try.
