T-REX Restaurant at Downtown Disney

T-REX Restaurant

This Downtown Disney restaurant can be found in the Marketplace section, near shopping and the LEGO Imagination Center.

T-REX is open for lunch and dinner and is part of the Disney Dining Plan.  Reservations can me made through Disney Dining Reservations online or by calling 1-407-WDW-DINE or 1-407-828-TREX.

T-REX is a dinosaur-themed restaurant touted as a “Prehistoric Family Adventure”.  The restaurant is divided into different Prehistoric themes such as Meteor and Ice Age with decor to match.  You are surrounded by animatronic dinosaurs, meteor showers and the Kitchen of Fire!  The Paleo zone features a Dinosaur Dig and Dinosaur Creek to pan for treasures.

Some of the Menu Items are:

• Appetizer:  Brachiosaurus Bruschetta
• Wooly Mammoth Chicken
• Tyrannosaurus T-Bone
• Triassic Tortellini
• Age of Salmon
• Various Burgers and Sandwiches
• Dessert:  Chocolate Extinction
• Children’s Menu: Jurassic Chicken Tidbits, Mini Mes-o-Bones

T-REX is a part of the Landry’s, Inc chain of restaurants;  which includes Rainforest Cafe.  You will find many of the menu items similar to what you would find at Rainforest, but themed to dinosaurs.  This restaurant is family friendly, but keep in mind the dinosaurs make noise and the meteor shower can be a little scary for small children.  The menu is extensive, with choices to please everyone in your party.  There is also a Dino-Store which includes a Build-a-Dino Station, by Build-a-Bear Workshop.

Chip’s Tip:   The Ice Age room is the most surreal, but give yourselves time to walk around and see everything!

Overall I give it an A-
