Ever since I heard about T-REX cafe opening up at Downtown Disney last year, I was instantly curious. Not too long ago, I satisfied that curiosity and stopped in for dinner one night.
T-REX cafe is really another Rainforest Cafe, but trade out jungle for dinos, and a meteor shower for frequent thunder storm. And, just like it's counterpart, it shines in details. From the mammoth (yes I went there) moving octopus over the bar, to different sections with their own themeing (Ice Cave in particular was cool), this place really is fun. Where else would you see large jellyfish for lights, and a bar that looks like a sheet of glacier ice that changes color via LEDs?
Staff was friendly and engaging and service was right up there with Disney quality. They had the right balance of looking after you, yet not hounding you every 5 minutes. Oh, and a big thank you to the kind server in pigtails who posed for a pic...from a complete stranger...dressed like and shrub. She laughed and said it wasn't the first time. Even so, kudos good lady, to you and your coworkers.
Now let's talk food shall we? While there's a good variety of dishes for all appetites and preferences, I let the carnivore side kick in...with a steak n cheese sandwich. Surprisingly, on such a busy night, I only waited about 15-20 minutes and the sandwich was tasty. Filling too. Didn't even get to the chips that came on the plate. Pricewise, remember that vacation dining is a bit more expensive due to convenience and location. Dinner, including tip was about $18.
Bottom line, I had a good time at a well themed restaurant and would go back to try the other dishes. If you like the sister Rainforest and Aquarium restaurants, T-REX will give you a smile.

Thank you to all the nice folks at T-REX and see you again soon!
