T-Rex worth a credit?

[kasey1988]

We will be in disney for 10 or 11 nights, and are trying to figure out how to use our dining credits, but of course I have way more places I want to try then we do credits . Is tree worth a try? How is food quality? Atmosphere?

Have you any children with you.? We went last year,my DS was 14 and we all had a blast..Yes it's noisy ( well it is dinosaurs ) but the food was way much better than we expected.And the cocktails were awesome..I would rate it 8 out if 10.

T-Rex to me looks a lot like Rainforest. And like Rainforest, you go there for the atmosphere, not the food. If I had a little boy I'd definitely consider T-Rex. But not for two adults.

I believe there owned by the same company but have been to both and the theming at Rexy is superb.Try and get the blue ice cave room.

If you have children, go they will love it! In my humble opinion the food is only soso. You are paying for the atmosphere! Skip it for a sit down but go in and have a drink at the bar to see the meteor shower.

It is busy and noisy! But I really like the food there. Rainforest is not as good food-wise (except for that amazingly good cranberry waffle at breakfast - YUM!)...but I haven't ordered anything I didn't really like at T-Rex.

And kids really like it.

I should of noted, no children with us. Two adults , I like the idea of grabbing a drink at the bar!

My wife and 4 year old daughter went there in February and absolutely loved it. When we first walked up I thought 100% that it was going to be your typical themed restaurant with terrible overpriced food, but we were very plesantly suprised. My wife and I both has some type of chicken sandwich on pizza dough bread and it was incredible. We liked it so much that on our second night we left the MK at about 7:00 just to go over to DTD and eat there again.

And one tip... it was like a 45 minute wait for a table, but you can walk in and sit immediately at the bar and eat there if you don't mind with zero wait. We love it because you can watch the awesome fish tank behind the bar the whole time that you are eating and you also have a nice view of the entire restaurant from the high bar seating.

I've gone there with just adults, and we always enjoy it. Although I am excited to go with DD someday too, because I think she'll love it. I prefer Rainforest because I love the one salad they have, my husband prefers T-Rex. But we like the food & atmosphere of both. My parents love to just visit the bar for a drink. I think any of it is worth it to check it out.

Atmosphere is two thumbs (my tribute to Roger Ebert!!) but the food is very average, not bad just average.

Food = outstanding. Best burgers I've ever had. The portions are HUGE, too.

Atmosphere = outstanding. It really accomplishes what it's intended to. It's like a Rainforest Café, but themed to dinosaurs.

It's definitely worth a credit.

We are eating there in August. I'm sure my boys will love it. I'm glad to read the food is great!!

 

[jazznrachie]

I'm glad you posed this question. It seems like people enjoy it more than I expected!

It is like it but the food is way better and it is must do now.

They are owned by the same company, but they are nothing alike. The food at Rainforest is average, but the food at T-Rex is fantastic. Two adults would enjoy it there, IMO. I know I do.

 

[GSP Guy]

I really enjoy it and have it on my to do list for my upcoming ADRs!

 

[HouCuseChickie]

We enjoyed it, but I honestly don't think I would have considered it for an adults only trip. Still, I think it's more of a spectacle than RFC, the service was excellent, and most of what we had was decent...so I certainly wouldn't classify it as a waste of a credit.

I really enjoy Rainforest Cafe'...I like the food as well...and since they are owned by the same company...I think it's worth a credit...but I don't think T-Rex is on the dining plan are they?

They are both owned by Landry's, so yes, same company.

And yes, both are on the Dining Plan as one TS credit as of last year, however, both menu's have a few items that are eligible for the Dining Plan, your waiter will inform you what they are.
