For a family with a 2.5 year old son T-Rex Cafe is awesome, on a date night with just my husband this place would be my worst nightmare. It is very loud, not music loud just lots of people loud. The theming is unreal our son just wanted to walk around the whole time seeing all the dinosaurs (which staff recommended and was fine with). The animatronic dinos are really neat our son was mesmerized. Of course, the food is overpriced, but for a themed restaurant the food quality and portion size was actually far beyond our expectations. My husband and I shared the backyard buffet (large portion of ribs, half a roasted chicken, slaw and fries) and kids portion was plenty as well. We split a meal and actually had leftovers at the end. Our son also really enjoyed the area that he was able to dig up bones. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night, the wait was 2.5 hours, but with our Landry's card we only waited 5 minutes! Highly recommend getting one.
Though it's very loud in here sometimes I really appricate a restaurant where a kid can be a kid. It's more stressful for me to worry about my toddler being loud during a quiet meal then me sitting in a very loud kid friendly spot.
Pros:
dinosaurs of course!, backyard buffet was quite good and large portion (sharable), Disney prices, kids can be kidsCons:

Came here with a large 11 person family group on a recent trip, mostly because we had a four year old who is a HUGE dinosaur fan, and we were not disappointed.
Look, like many highly-themed restaurants in Disney World, should you come here expecting mind blowing food? No, please don’t! But will you come here with kiddos and be delighted by their delight in the dinosaur decor (yes, that is pro-level alliteration, thank you)? Yes!
The menu here is exactly what you would expect, lots of American-style fare, with burgers, fries, chicken, etc. And the quality of all of it is solid. There is not really any food here that is bad, and there is not really any that will blow you away.
The atmosphere is why you come here though, and it does not disappoint. Lots of fun Dino animatronics and cool themed rooms. The ice cave room is the coolest in my opinion, but the rest are fun too. Take a walk around the whole restaurant with your little one and let them look at all the animatronics up close and really take in the theming and you won’t be disappointed.
All in all, T-Rex is exactly what you need it to be: A highly-themed restaurant for the kiddos that will provide solid sustenance as well.
Pros:
Great and fun theming that will entertain the chilluns Solid foodCons:
Not anything mind blowing Probably not a top choice if you don’t have kids with youReviewed by ktkueb80 Review Date: 02/28/2022

Ate here on 2/25/22 for dinner. We have a landry's card so no reservation was needed and we were seated right away even though there was an hour wait. DS age 8 had pasta, meatballs, gogurt and oranges and ate everything. DH got meatloaf and loved it. I got the appetizer sampler as my meal and shared it with my husband and son too. SO MUCH FOOD! Favorite thing on the plate was the queso dip and meatballs with garlic bread. The atmosphere here is great for kids but can be noisy depending on where you are sitting. Theming is great.
Pros:
Theming is great, can beat the wait with landry's cardCons:
little pricy, food just averageReviewed by LJTombs Review Date: 06/05/2021

I like T-Rex over the Rainforest Cafe for sure. I think the menu is just a little bit better and the food is better overall.
The food isn't anything extra special or unique but its a great place to take the kids.
Pros:
Great for Kids, Good Quality FoodCons:
Not as unique as other DS restaurantsReviewed by DisneyNewbie Review Date: 01/06/2021

Our family of 6 (kids aged 7-13) had a great time at T-Rex! We have a Rainforest Cafe in our hometown, so we knew what to expect at T-Rex: the same but with dinosaurs! The dino animatronics are great. A storm comes every so often, which is great fun. We were not seated in the blue room, but after walking through it, I would request that next time. It looked awesome! We had great service, an attentive server who provided recommendations, and we were even seated 30 minutes early when we arrived sooner than we anticipated.
Is it the best food you can find at Disney Springs? I'm sure not. But, we never expected it to be so. The portions were plentiful, the drinks were fun, we didn't have any room for dessert. It's all about the dinosaurs, and T-Rex doesn't disappoint in that category. As long as you are dining here with the right attitude, you will love it. If you are expecting to be wowed by flavorful and inventive food and are then disappointed, it's really on you. If you go for the dinosaurs, you will love it!
Pros:
Dinosaurs!Cons:

the theming of this place is like no other restaurant i have ever been too.it is beautiful and super cool! although it's fun, it is really loud. the lightning storms actually made a couple of children in the place scream and cry, but as an adult, it was really fun to experience. the food was not terrible but not great. this place was a little overpriced. this experience is similar to rainforest cafe, but better theming overall. the gift shop is great, you can actually pick out your own geode and have them crack it for you in the store!
Pros:
amazing atmosphere, very nice staff, gift store was great, pretty good price rangeCons:
food was not great, a little overpriced, very loud and can scare some childrenReviewed by sreynolds5 Review Date: 12/27/2019

We tried T-Rex during Thanksgiving week. It was very crowded -- I assume this is always true. There was a 15 min. line to stand in just to tell the hostess we were there. Then we were told to stand in another line. Eventually, they called our name. We had arrived 15 min. early & were seated about 15 min. after our reservation time. The meal was good, nothing to write home about. Our server was very friendly, but the service was slow. After waiting 30 min. w/reservation to be seated, I was not thrilled that it took another 90 min. for the meal. Not worth 2 hours of our Disney day. Overall: Service in slow, food is OK, atmosphere is over the top & kind of fun, expensive, probably not going back... until our grandson is old enough to beg to eat in the dinosaur restaurant:) I recommend this restaurant if you have small children who love dinos. Otherwise, there are much better options in DS.
Pros:
Fun atmosphere, friendly wait staffCons:

Very good food. Seated quickly. I highly recommend purchasing the Landry select card as it allows you to skip the line. Server was friendly.
Pros:
Burgers were huge. Server was good. Manager came by several times. Good experience.Cons:
Can be loud with so many people in a smallet space. One of us ordered Lasagna and ot was good but tiny and I do mean tiny. My son finished it in 4 bites. Not good value there.Reviewed by KimH134 Review Date: 04/20/2019
