On Saturday Brett surprised us by taking us to Pirate Island, a new theme restaurant in Orem. While they were building it, I was expecting something close to Chuck E. Cheese, but with a pirate theme instead. Boy was I wrong. Even just walking in, we knew they had done an awesome job. The front of the restaurant had a huge rock waterfall with a pirate skeleton in the middle surrounded by jewels, a palm tree with a parrot, skeletons in cages hanging from the ceiling, and more.
From time to time a skeleton would raise out of the waterfall, and the pirate in the middle would talk. Kennedy was entranced by all of this, but was too short to see over the wall. She compensated by getting on her tip toes.
When the pirate started talking, she even pushed her way through the crowd so she could watch.
They had some awesome maps on the wall too.
They seated us in the bayou section of the restaurant which had trees hanging down and some really cool lanterns. We were right next to the huge ship in the middle of the restaurant. Periodically there would be a thunderstorm and the skeleton captain would talk, and sometimes the cannons would go off.
There was an arcade in Skull Mountain, which actually was a huge rock skull you had to walk through. It was awesome because all of the noise was hidden while you were eating. They also had a play area for kids.
The food was good, the atmosphere was awesome, and Kennedy had a blast. We loved it!

We drove by there the other day and got a take out menu to see what it was like for a future trip. Now you make me wanna take Isaak their sooner than planned! I didn't know they had a play area for kids that awesome! Looks like you guys had a good time!
Seems like Rainforest Cafe. Remember that place?
I've been so curious about Pirate Island, it's great to hear a review
Will loved it! He is already planning a return trip. It sounds like we sat in the same area as you, but we didn't get to hear the captain or the cannons... maybe we were listening. ;)
