On our visit, I ordered the Paleozoic Chicken Sandwich: pizza dough with grilled chicken, lettuce, bacon, Pepper Jack cheese, avocado, tomato, and lemon aioli. Desserts are can be located in “The End is Near.” Each and every item has a clever, prehistoric reference in its name, such as: Fossil Fish-N-Chips, Pork-Asaurus Sandwhich, Layers of the Earth Lasagna, and Jurassic Salad. Mixed drinks can be found in a section labeled “The Watering Hole,” and there are plenty of beer and wine selections as well. Food is easily organized into sections: Appetizers, Salads, Soups, Carnivores, Pastas, Burgers & Sandwiches, and Seafood. Most of the menu flavors are true American, though there are some light Italian touches. The menu is quite expansive, with something for any taste. On the wall behind the fire pit you can see chickens rotating in a giant rotisserie. The kitchen, appropriately named The Kitchen of Fire, is located behind a long fire pit. Not to be outdone by the decor, the T-REX menu delivers. With a restaurant that is so focused on entertainment, I always find myself skeptical of the quality of food. With so much going on, this place is a sensory mecca. About every twenty minutes there is a “meteor shower,” and the entire restaurant springs to life with movement and sound. Everywhere you look there are animatronic wooly mammoths, giant bugs, and dinosaurs – including a 15 foot tall T. While the rooms have individual themes, they are open to each other and one theme flows into the other. The restaurants tables are nestled into several themed rooms such as an ice cavern and fern forest. Colored jellyfish are suspended from the ceiling, mingling with the octopus tentacles. Behind the bar is a large saltwater fish tank on which a giant octopus is perched, with its tentacles stretching over the blue, water-like ceiling. At the front of the restaurant you can locate the bar area, which has an oceanic theme. Perched atop is a very large dinosaur skeleton, green ferns, and palms. My Grandmother, taking in the restaurant action.Īs you approach the restaurant, you’ll see a mountainous structure with a cave-like opening. Owned by the same parent company, T-REX is a prehistoric dining adventure. If you’re familiar with Rainforest Cafe, then you’ll have a great idea what this restaurant is about. On our last trip, my family and I ate dinner at T-REX. When the project is complete, Downtown Disney will be called Disney Springs. Perhaps even more amazing still, is the fact that Downtown Disney is under-going an extensive renovation and expansion that will include even more dining delights. You can find table service restaurants and quick service dining, as well as stands offering drinks and snacks. Currently there are over 28 various spots to grab a bite to eat, ranging from an AMC Dine-In Theater to an authentically Irish-themed pub, to a Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Soda Shop. This week we are traveling to Downtown Disney – a foodie paradise. I knew I would be washing windows and unpacking dishes thinking about how I should have blogged. But somehow I just couldn’t go a week without posting. I’m tired, and I have a million things still to clean and unpack. ![]() I’m ready to admit that I almost slacked today and skipped writing this post. How is it Monday already!?! My busy weekend, which included my husband and I buying our first house (!!) and moving, probably has something to do with my bewilderment. ![]()
