Let me start by getting the negative out of the way first. It took forever to get into the restaurant. We stood in line for a good 45 minutes on a Monday. I have no issues with standing but I noticed there were quite a few senior citizens who were also taking the long wait. There were plenty of tables free inside too, they really need to figure out a way to get people seated a lot quicker. Thankfully, everything after that went really well. I was very impressed with the food. There was a good variety of dishes and all of them being very high quality. There are carving stations that had prime rib, brisket, turkey, and pork loin. The carving stations were my favorite foods. They carving stations had some nice sauce to go with the meats too like au jus, gravy, and horse radish. Other good dishes were the cheesesteak eggrolls and dim sum. Even the burgers were pretty good. There was a whole station with fixings you could put on a burger like cheeses, lettuce, tomato, ketchup etc. I definitely made sure to save room for dessert because there were plenty of good choices. My favorite being the crepe station. There are freshly made crepes that you can top with raspberry sauce, chocolate, and whipped cream. There were also eclairs, fruit tarts, bread pudding, and chocolate mousse. There was even a soft serve ice cream machine with four different flavors! It was vanilla, chocolate, mint, and egg nog on my visit. I got full before I got a chance to try everything I wanted. However, everyone was delicious and exceeded expectations. I would definitely recommend visiting this buffet if you're in the area. Be patient and prepared to stand in line for a long time. But then be hungry and save a whole plates room for dessert. read more

Tried their seafood buffet night for Thanksgiving at Hard Rock Casino with comps. Otherwise it's $59.99pp, half price for kids, and free for toddlers (kid prices aren't posted). They have a decent selection, but nothing like a Vegas buffet - they didn't have any sushi! We sat by the back next to the server station so our waiter was quick in picking up dirty plates and checking in on us. They had different areas and selections so not everyone was crowded in one line and people moved quickly with little wait to get food even when the place was packed and a huge line outside. I love seafood so I got a plate of crab legs, raw oysters, and raw clams (never had these raw before and they were a bit too much seafoody to me), but otherwise they tasted pretty fresh. The prime rib area has a sauce station at the end with the aus jus I missed initially. I'd give the food a 3/5 for a buffet at a touristy area. But Hard Rock Casino is striking out with their staff being rude in front of kids again for me. One of my nephews apparently spilled some Mac & Cheese on the side on the buffet pan and when my younger nephew came to get some, I was passing by and asked if he needed help. The staff behind that had just wiped clean the mess rudely interrupted and said "yes he needs help!" Excuse me? So why didn't she offer the help then when he was standing there before I passed by? Meanwhile they had a server at the crab legs and I stood there for a bit as 2 staff were chatting in Spanish, so I went to grab the tongs that were facing them. Then she rudely grabbed it from me and proceeded to plop one on my plate that spilled my butter so I made a grunt cause this means I'm about to get my hands all buttery when cracking them later. She had a sarcastic tone and said "sorry" and after my grunt, she started chatting again with the other staff in Spanish - likely about me. And she started picking the smaller crab legs for me. I don't know what it is, but Hard Rock Casino must be overworking their employees and everyone seems disgruntled at the food spots and acting like we're in a food kitchen begging for food and at their mercy. We leave good tips and even with using comps, we earned that comp money. A casino should be treating those using comps as VIPs as that's their core business clients! read more

It is two parts the front staff friendly even though I didn't like hearing that you can come back into the exit when you can't and I overreacting.

The Hard Rock resort and casino is home to many restaurants. One such restaurant, Fresh Harvest buffet serves up an eclectic AYCE seafood smorgasbord extravaganza. NOTE: Seafood buffet served only from Thursday to Saturday. For starters the seating was spacious, and there was a comfortable flow between the buffet stations, making it easy to survey the food islands so to speak without feeling cramped. The variety of seafood was impressive. They offered a little bit of everything. They had carving stations offering prime rib and other meats. Plenty of seafood and non seafood items, from fried to baked and boiled. The superstar of the buffet was the endless amount of snow crab legs that were steamed to perfection, which made extracting the crab meat easy. The raw bar offered chilled shucked oysters and clams with a variety of cocktail sauces. They had a variety of cooked shrimp prepared in different ways. The selection of fish was impressive as I had monk, cod, flounder and salmon. There is also an Asian section serving up classic stir fry noodles, fried rice, general tso chicken and chicken and broccoli. The staff was attentive, quickly clearing our dirty plates and refilling drinks without being intrusive. The buffet stations were well-maintained, and everything was replenished promptly. I also appreciated that the utensils and surfaces were kept clean as the staff was on top of their game. The dessert bar was a pleasant surprise, offering soft serve ice cream, cakes, cookies and freshly made crepes. While the buffet wasn't cheap, the quality and variety made it feel like a fair deal, especially for seafood lovers. Now not everything was a homerun, but If you're someone who enjoys raw oysters, clams and endless crab legs, you'll definitely get your money's worth and then some. The all-you-can-eat buffet is an experience worth savoring for special occasions as eating this cuisine too often will drive up your cholesterol levels, but if you must indulge yourself frequently, I guess there's always better living through chemistry with lipitor. Cheers! :) read more

Well I haven't visited AC in maybe a decade and when we came to town really had a desire for a good buffet and if we could find a seafood buffet even better. Well I guess buffet are a dying thing here in AC. But after a lot of looking we found Fresh Harvest in the Hard Rock. We went on a Thursday and found that this was seafood night. Let get down to my opinion. The food was very good. I don't think I sampled anything that I didn't like and didn't have a decent flavor. With several variety of shrimp all tasting good. I really liked the pepper shrimp the best. They did have crab legs and out of everything wasn't my favorite. They were a bit soft and hard to break open. But everything else was really good. As for service: was bad but was perfect. My fella was pretty busy, so we really didn't get our drinks refilled as often as we would have liked/needed. Now let's talk cost: Holy mud - $127.93 for two people. Quite frankly way too much. I also found out "after the visit" that there might have been discounts that the wifey and I could have gotten. But I'm not sure. I later heard they offer a military discount and maybe a senior discount, again I'm not sure if they do or not, but the front cashier absolutely didn't offer or suggest one. So again the food was decent but I wouldn't visit again with such a high cost. read more

I would never recommend this way. Have to get an E. coli went up in the hospital half dead 18 days in the hospital. Then I had a problem with a staff member being racist and then I got him fired. Then he calls me on the phone a few weeks later, crying that he wants to know if I can get his job back on at that point I'm saying how the heck did he get my phone number The union rep gave him my phone number in my personal information I settled everything. I told them to give him back his job and for him not to call me or the next time I'll be filing a lawsuit against them never got comped never turned around and got anything for all my troubles in the disrespect. I think the casino and The whole place is a joke. I should've sued them when I had a chance. The reason why I know it was a union rep because the union called me along with one of the human resources and explained everything to me and apologized and you know it was a mistake and thank God that the guy you know wasn't stupid to try to do something with the information he found out on me. He's very lucky. It would've been very bad for him not me But the whole deal. And they should've gave me something Between the E. coli and getting sick almost winning up half dead in the hospital and dealing with the jerk off employee and the union that screwed up giving him my information Hard Rock Cafe. They can go to hell I hope they don't deny it because I have emailed back-and-forth and I have a whole bunch of record showing what happened and I have plenty of proof that they can never shovel underneath the rug Personally, I should've gotten comped. I should've gotten something that's the way I feel . read more

Favorite buffet in Atlantic City. Excellent selection for the price. Usually the vegetarian food is extremely lacking at a buffet. This one has a solid salad bar, taco bar, pasta section, etc. And of course my favorite, the desserts. So good. Wasn't too busy even on a holiday weekend. Server was friendly and checked back often. Casual vibes, some folks dress up if they're heading out to a show. read more

Fresh Harvest Buffet offers ample seating for families and couples alike, with plenty of cuisine varieties to fill your plates and indulge. Be prepared for potentially long lines at the hostess stand if you don't have a higher-level card. Since there's more seating it can be crowded and/or loud. All the food options were hot and well-prepared. We enjoyed sampling a little of everything with a few plates. On Tuesdays, you can take advantage of a buy-one-get-one-free deal from the rewards kiosk. The lunch/dinner price for one person is $45, so be sure to get your money's worth. The selection of high-end options helps justify the cost. read more

Met some friends at the casino and decided to try the Fresh Harvest Buffet. The price of the Buffet is a typical casino price. However, why there is a mandatory 18% service charge because one person is paying the bill for 10 People? I might understand the mandatory service charge for a regular restaurant. But this is a buffet and we are not even sitting together as a group! The sad thing was I didn't even know until after we ate. Oh, the food was OK. read more

We visited here for dinner and man the options the seafood options were plentiful and fresh. Enjoyed the different shrimp options, crab legs, and the Asian dishes; General Tso and fried rice were delish and piping hot! The dessert bar was good too.

Decided to go back here for seafood night with my comp rewards. From my understanding they have extended seafood night into Thursday and Friday now. That being said they really need to do something about the customer service and the cashiers that check you in. There's one Latina young lady with blonde hair who has a consistently poor demeanor. She was there both times I've visited and both times her demeanor is just not costumer service friendly. Also the cashier she had working with her (AA woman with black and reddish tipped braids) was unnecessarily loud and obnoxious. She was loudly rambling on about how there should be a time limit for "these people" to sit here and all this other nonsense. There was also a woman there complaining about her special needs child not being accommodated for whatever reason. This same cashier was rambling on saying "ion know what she want or what she spect me da do" and again more unnecessary comments that have nothing to do with her job at hand which is to simply ring people up and point them to the host who will point you to the server that seats you. It's literally just that simple! What she's not noting as she's delivering her unwarranted opinion is the average couples with out comps are paying almost $150 dollars just to get into this place for the seafood buffet and whole families with children are paying more! So the fact that she's sitting there collecting their money sounding illiterate and complaining about how these same PAYING PEOPLE need to be put on a time limit when they are waiting about 10-15 mins just to be given their drinks when asked as well as standing 10-15 mins in long lines waiting to make their plates is wild work. This is why management needs to step in and tell her she should concentrate on figuring out how to be great at performing the job she's been tasked to do. If she was being paid to run the establishment it definitely would be shut down by now and nobody there would have jobs at all. That said the customer service here isn't good at all and the wait staff is also hit or miss. You see some that are very nice, some that are meh and some that are just flat out rude and obviously don't want to be there. In closing, now having the seafood buffet experience I still would not go here unless I have comps or an offer. It's still just meh to me. The salmon is still over cooked. The seafood options are just ok. The crab legs are the only thing that brings value to the seafood buffet and even those are extremely salty. Some of the other options like the fried and tempura shrimp are overly bready as is the fried cod. The fried bay scallops were ok. Honestly there's just a bunch of mediocre options. It's definitely quantity over quality. I can say at least the vegetables have been consistently well cooked and tasty from my experience. The ice cream is also the star and highlight of the dessert bar and everything else is like mediocre back up dancers for it. Based of my experiences I can't say I recommend this place. Before you spend your money paying full price here go sit down and dine at a nice local restaurant that shows you they appreciate your business by greeting you with good customer service and serving you great food. read more

For the cash tou better like crab legs. I paid $70 and had a plate and left. Took forever to get a drink being only server's can get you a soda. No fountains.

For the cash, go to a sit down restaurant. read more

Not Family Friendly - A Disappointing and Painful Experience (See attached photo of locked restrooms near The Harvest Buffet.) I visited The Harvest Buffet at Hard Rock Atlantic City with my two toddlers and had a truly upsetting experience. Despite Hard Rock promoting itself as a family-friendly hotel--with cribs, pools, and more for kids--there were no baby changing tables in the accessible restrooms near the buffet. The only bathroom that might have had one was locked, and even after I asked multiple staff members, I was denied access. No help. No compassion. My baby had diarrhea and I was forced to change her on a bathroom floor or go all the way down to the casino level. I'm recovering from postpartum pain, dealing with arthritis and a painful cyst. Walking that far was excruciating. My baby was crying, I was crying--and not one staff member showed concern. Hard Rock advertises as family-friendly, but this experience says otherwise. Basic accommodations like accessible changing tables should be a priority. I hope this review leads to change. No mother should ever be left to suffer like this. read more

was really looking forward to trying Fresh Harvest Buffet at the Hard Rock, but unfortunately it was a letdown. The food overall wasn't very flavorful, and for a buffet, I expected a much better variety--especially with seafood. The selection felt limited, and nothing really stood out. Service was also on the slower side, which made the experience less enjoyable. Between the lack of variety, bland taste, and the price point, I honestly don't think it was worth it. With all the dining options in Atlantic City, I'd probably try something else next time. read more

Stayed at the Hard Rock so many times and never knew this place was here. Came here for lunch on Saturday. No line we walked right in. The waitress was a little much...kinda all over the place. Food options were ok. Major con was the temperature or some options like the salmon was overcooked. 1st batch of steamed crabs legs were overcooked as well. The crab meat was hard. The next batch had was better but the temperature was lukewarm. Price was $60 per person. Just based on the crab legs you can it, the price pays for itself. Definitely would come back to try again. read more

Visited the Seafood Buffet on Sat 10/12....Beautiful roomy restaurant with a nice size buffet; however, it was VERY basic and hardly enough seafood options to be considered a seafood buffet! What my mom and I tried we felt lacked flavor! This was not worth $60 pp to us. The service was just ok as our waiter was swamped so he wasn't as attentive as I'd like. Will not go again. read more

Food had gone down and prices have gone up. They have cut back on different stations of food. Craving station had only Turkey and ham. No carved beef. Did not serve some of the items that were on their menu. Shrimp small not worth your time picking at them. Some food looked like leftovers from the day before. Deserts were very good. Very disappointing for what we paid - $45 per person. Use to like going there but after this time I don't want to go back. read more

This is definitely one of the best buffets in Atlantic City. The overall quality really puts The Borgata buffet to shame. The selection here is excellent and the food simply tastes good, plain and simple. For the price ($29.99) you're getting pretty good value considering the vastly inferior Borgata buffet charges way more for dinner and has far less variety and is simply not as good. The real standout here for me was the prime rib, which was tender and well cooked. The au jus was excellent as well. The salad section was also nice and the dessert selection is excellent. There really isn't much in the way of anything negative to add as the entire place was clean and also the service was super attentive. I guess the real drag was how long the lines were especially during the weekends and even during off hours. However, beyond that you can't go wrong eating here if you're seeking some Vegas quality buffet items in AC (minus the crab legs). read more

I really was disappointed and disgusted. I told my husband that he was not going to get tip. And I meant it. I never went to a restaurant and never received service. I don't think we would go back again. We spent money for the buffet and received horrible service. I was going to speak to a manager but we were so mad we decided to leave.

I would absolutely recommend this place. It's got a lot of variety and a great price for your buck. I feel like there's so many shrimp possibilities in here. A lot of the dishes I walked by had added shrimp to it. I did one big plate for my first time there and couldn't even do a full second plate because I was stuffed. I was shockingly surprised how well everything taste. I wasn't a huge fan of the dessert section but they did have a lot of things to choose from. The macaroni and cheese was my favorite, along side their ribs and pulled pork. Mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, vegetable lo mein. We all loved the General Tso chicken too and vegetable fried rice. I mean for $29.99 plus tax per person, it's very well worth it. We happened to eat free because we had $60 dining voucher so be sure to check your promotions on your Hard Rock card before going inside. Service was great, checking in to be seated went really quickly even though the lines seemed long. I almost can't wait to return on Sunday. Come with an empty stomach, the possibilities are endless in my opinion. read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 7:30pm... it was PACKED but we were able to be seated right away. It was about $85 total to get in for 2 people. The food was typical: pasta, pizza, meat, etc. The salad section was beyond small, and the dessert section had no labels with the exception of 3 items. I hate buffets with no labels. The mashed potatoes were delicious, and the pizza was better than any buffet pizza I've ever had. The service was okay. The people at the front who took the money weren't very friendly, the server who got us our drinks was nice but that's about it. It was a fairly large buffet and definitely nice to try. It was clean and everything I had seemed fresh. If I was in the area, I would probably go back but I prefer Borgota overall. read more

A very decent buffet with the usual huge selection of options, from Italian to Asian and everything in-between. Plus desserts. The ice cream was the single best thing I ate.

Fresh Harvest Buffet - Crepes, pie and banana strawberries ice cream - Buffets Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Do not go here. Hands down the worst buffet my partner and I have ever had in our lives. The food tasted like it was made from frozen, it was tasteless, dry and mushy. The prime rib was way over done and the brisket is so dry it can probably break a window; and they force the shitty pieces on you. The ravioli was so mushy I washed it down with lemonade because I didn't want to spit it out. The dessert looked great, tastes shit; the tiramisu has been left out for so long, the cream stiffened and went dark. The lemon bar had no lemon taste, the eclair was stale and had condensation; and I've never seen a more unripe watermelon being served. Why serve this at all?? JC, this place was awful; do better. The only redeeming part of this experience was service and the soft serve - so a star for that. But also only because I have to at least provide one star. read more
