    Side of mashed potatoes
    Rachel A.

    Wow! I was in AC for half marathon weekend. I have a rule during vacations to avoid chain restaurants bc I like to support locally owned. Due to time constraints I had to break that rule and head to Rainforest Cafe. Glad I did! Between race weekend and the Stevie Nicks concert, they were SLAMMED. Yet everything was 5 stars! Despite those working the hostess stand being overwhelmed and surrounded by waiting guests, we were greeted very warmly and treated with kindness and humor. Our server was fantastic...efficient and kind. He was very respectful of the hurry everyone was in and stayed calm despite working more tables than I could even count! Having been a server for almost a decade ... I can only say this is impressive! Food was a little slower than typical but not bad and to be expected considering how busy they were PLUS pumping out to go orders like nobody's business! My friend ordered the steak dinner and I'll be honest that the steak was overcooked and the steak itself just average esp since she described how she wanted it down (pink all the way through). Let's be real though...it's not a steak house. Rest of her meal was good. I ordered lasagna and mashed potatoes (maybe weird if you don't run half marathons lol). Both were large portions and the lasagna was some of the best I have EVER had. I had enough of both for leftovers which almost never happens, bc I EAT. As far as ambiance...it's the Rainforest Cafe. Obviously cool. :) Finally....want to call out that I noticed the manager helping at the hostess stand and answering the phone (maybe taking to go orders?). It's always awesome to see a manager helping FOH when they're slammed..as they should. :) Thanks for making pre race dinner experience great!

    I have heard about the Rainforest Cafe before but never actually visited one until recently. The restaurant was very spacious and as you can imagine rainforest themed with animatronic animals and other rainforest decor. The menu had quite a few options that was reasonably priced and the meal portions were adequate. The staff we interacted with were pleasant and prompt. I would recommend this restaurant to others visiting the boardwalk.

    Taste of the Island - Seafood plate
    Karolina S.

    When my boyfriend found out I have never been to a Rainforest Cafe, he drove us all the way to Atlantic City from NYC for a day trip, and took me to the restaurant for my first time. Apparently it is an iconic experience, and I think it was pretty close to it. As soon as you enter, you are greeted with a ton of greenery that makes you feel like you just stepped into a jungle. There was a huge moving elephant, monkeys, parrots, snakes, and a fountain around a statue of Atlas. And a rainbow! Every couple of minutes for couple of minutes, the whole place would come alive with sounds of animals like in a jungle. It was pretty dark inside, but I guess too much light would ruin the experience. I don't know. We each ordered a drink and a Seafood plate called Taste of the Island which comes with "Caribbean Coconut Shrimp, mango habanero glazed shrimp, jerk seasoned tilapia topped with pineapple salsa, island rice, seasonal vegetables." I was excited we got to keep the glasses as souvenirs. Food was average, but no complaints. Service was pretty good as well. Nothing really stood out to me, besides the decorations. On your way out - you could visit the gift shop. I love that they sell pins, so I could pick one up for my collection. I enjoyed myself, so I can imagine it must be a pretty fun experience for kids!

    The rainforest cafe is an iconic experience that you at least need to try once. You walk into what looks like a jungle with animatronics, sounds, smoke and water. The kids will definitely love this, but as an adult all you can think is... how do they dust all of these things? The temperature inside was hot and uncomfortable which may have just been from the outside that day. You walk in and can sit at the bar that looks like animal legs which is fun and silly. It is quite dark inside and if you have anxiety it is a lot for sure. They sell their promotional cups with frogs and parrots on them. And do have a gift shop up front. Our waitress was attentive and polite. They had many iconic drinks and ICEEs for the kids. The menu did not have a lot but was okay. I ordered the Bimini chicken sandwich. It was really good with the hot honey sauce on the side. The coconut curry slaw was so different and enjoyable. The beast burger on the other hand was overcooked and dry. There was not much flavor to it. The experience itself was nice especially if you have kids, as adults probably will not go back. But definitely worth it for family fun.

    Always loved coming here for lunch ! Highly recommend the trip to the rainforest when in AC ! Food and service always good and worth the price.

    I came here recently with a friend as we both hadn't been since we were kids and wanted to check it out. We arrived around 3pm during the "off-season" for AC, so we didn't have to wait for a seat. We were worried we might be the only ones in the restaurant but it was decently busy. I ordered an alcoholic drink (some sort of raspberry vodka drink) and it was delicious but weak, which isn't surprising for a chain restaurant. My friend got the turkey wrap and I went for the shrimp tacos. Neither meal was anything special and my tacos were a bit on the bland side, but quality wise they tasted perfectly fine so I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed my meal overall. I couldn't resist getting their special "30th Birthday Cake" dessert they had, as I also turned 30 this year. It does mention it's a portion for 4 people, which I found a bit weird but I guess most people coming here are typically coming with bigger groups. The dessert was just alright, I wouldn't personally order it again. They also didn't use sparklers as advertised on any of their deserts - maybe they were just out or had bad experiences in the past, not sure. The ambiance is obviously more exciting if you're a kid, but we still had fun. Although we probably spent an hour or so in there and were definitely ready to go by the end. The music is quite loud, accompanied by various animal noises and the thunderstorm every 15 minutes, so it's all a bit much after a while. Don't look too close at the ceiling either because I definitely feel like this place hasn't been touched up since it opened, everything looks a bit dull. Overall, we enjoyed the experience but it's definitely novelty and not a place I'd return to frequently. I'd like to bring my future nephew here when he's old enough, though!

    Can you say do not pass the salt...omg salty! The boo and I needed a lunch spot he had never been to a Rainforest cafe so off we went .. I am so not a fast food or chain food lover but I was happy to see they had a fish and chips option on the menu ..they over salted the batter the fries were way salty too the wrap which was a turkey Cesar wrap wasn't salty . Típ being if and when you go order a salad . The absolute saving grace was the staff we apparently got there when it opened so we waited a bit but as soon as they saw us kind attentive had recommendations and at the store showed me sale items and we pleasantly chatted. Am I coming back l yes ... my granddaughters would love it ...but I'll stick to a salad

    Fish Tacos

    What can you say about a place like this? Is it great for kids/families with little ones, yes. Are the menus slightly sticky and everything is overpriced for Mediocre food, also yes. Although I will say I got the blackened fish tacos and they were pretty good. The adult drinks were tasty as well. And shout out to the hostess who accommodated our large group with no reservations.

    Wow! This place brought back memories. I use to take my boys here often when it was at the mall in CT. Unfortunately it closed down, so my son and I HAD to visit when visiting AC. I enjoyed the lightening storms that happened every few mins. It was exactly how I remember it. The staff yelling volcannnno when bringing out the special dessert! The food was so good toooo! It was like being in a real life jungle!!!

    For a typical Rainforest Cafe, it's a decent experience! Ambiance & Service: The jungle-themed decor and animated animals create a fun, immersive atmosphere. Our server Daniel was fantastic--attentive and friendly. The free photo with a postcard is a nice touch! Food: - Spinach & Artichoke Dip: Tasty dip, but the chips were stale and dry. - Amazon Fajitas: Flavorful veggies with good Caribbean rice and beans. Plenty of tortillas, but the beans and tomatoes tasted off. TL;DR: Fun atmosphere with great service, but the food is hit or miss.

    If Disney were to design a rainforest restaurant, this would be it. It is such a unique experience that I could not pass it up while walking on the Atlantic City boardwalk on this beautiful weekend. I have never been to a Rainforest Cafe although I have seen them in other parts of the United States. I think the Atlantic City boardwalk, beaches and water are under-rated. The ambiance is immersive with animated animals, statues, vegetation, water features, a taking tree with a earth friendly message and tropical fish. What really makes the atmosphere special is the thunderstorm and lightening effects which frequently occur. Warning, they are loud! As far as the food is concerned, I ordered the Flatbread Pizza ($15.49). I loved the mozzarella cheese and the other toppings. The crust was not soggy and perfectly cooked. It was also tasty and just enough for lunch. The strawberry lemonade was cold but could have had a stronger berry flavor. Service at 1pm was efficient considering the time of day. The Rainforest Cafe is near Caesars which has 1/2 price parking lots nearby.

    BEWARE and KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS and CHECK your bank transaction! I wish I listened to the 1 star reviews and saved us all the headache. I hate making these reviews as I am so easily flexible and chill and fluid. So this was our first time eating here and it was a big family dinner (12 of us) We went to celebrate our kiddos bday and had a reservation. We were walking there because it is on the boardwalk but had some issues on the way so we were 15 minutes late for our bday package reservation time. Someone had called us about our reservation 5 minutes after and we told them we were on the way but they canceled it once we got there. They told us it would be a 30 minute wait and we thought okay we will wait. Especially since it was our kiddos bday and we heard it is cool inside and so we were like lets just experience it once. However while waiting people were walking in with no reservation and they were seating them. (We could have called and let them know we were running late. I get that) Once we were seated it was very cool looking inside! Love the thunder storm and all the animals and their sounds. Really is a cool place but they just have to up their standards for food qualitt and staff at this location. Our server seemed to be having an off day, maybe rude people, so we made sure to be polite and kind and not complain to hopefully make his interactions with us a pleasant one. ( I will leave his name out BUT I do remember all yalls names) We got our drinks but it was so overpriced that it is definitely not worth it. The food looked good but it definitely tastes like cheaply made Applesbees food for the price of fine dining. We didnt get refills on our drinks and we were not checked on by our waitor for over 20 minutes. He also forgot some of our drinks so we had remind him of that. He was busy though so I get it. We asked him since they canceled our reservation if it meant we didnt get the bday package and he got the manager for us to confirm. The manager ( whom lacked customer service by not being friendly or kind. Instead very dissmisive) said since we didn't pay a deposit we dont get it. However, with all the email traffic a month prior to booking this reservation, not once we were told to pay a deposit. Which now I am thankful we didn't because....Lastly THE MAIN REASON I am doing this review is because they over charged me and the other members of the party! Thank GOD we kept our receipts so BEWARE! Being in a tourist area, I can only imagine how many people they do this to. I contacted corporate as well because this is not okay!!!!

There were so many tempting options to choose from! I went with the 7 oz sirloin steak and eggs. It was decent, but nothing special. The steak was cooked medium instead of medium rare, and it lacked seasoning. My friend ordered the hot jumbo biscuit with homemade sausage gravy and the pastrami Reuben, both excellent picks. The gravy was some of the best I've had, and the pastrami on the Reuben was tender and full of flavor. Our server may not have been the most personable, but she was prompt and made sure we were well taken care of. Pickup and delivery are both available.

The menu is like your typical American diner, nothing crazy. Even though it was busy it seemed like the service was on the slower side. I got a sausage breakfast sandwich and my girlfriend got steak and eggs. Both of our entrees came with home fries. My sandwich was good; I feel like it's hard to mess up a standard breakfast sandwich. My girlfriend said her steak and eggs were decent too. The steak was a little overcooked but still seasoned well. I was not really a fan of their home fries and neither was my girlfriend. They were pretty dried out and not that flavorful. Prices are average. Food is average. I wouldn't say the place is dirty, but it didn't seem particularly clean. The decor and furnishing definitely looks dated. Nothing really wowed me, but it was good. I wouldn't mind going back.

We also ordered fries and truffle fries (subbed instead of regular fries), and everything tasted fantastic. That said, the pricing gave me a little pause. About $75 for two burgers, truffle fries, and sodas felt steep, but honestly, the flavor helped justify it... at least a teeny bit. Later in the evening, we returned just for drinks and dessert, which were both solid. The espresso martinis were especially good (though at nearly $20 each, expectations are high), and we had more than a few. The only real downside was service during our second visit. When we let the staff know we weren't ordering food since we had already eaten earlier, our silverware and napkins were quickly cleared and our water glasses were taken as well. I had to request that water glasses stay and be filled, which felt awkward and honestly a bit dismissive, especially given the cost of the drinks we were ordering (4 of us). Overall, excellent food and drinks, but the service inconsistency took away from the experience. With more attentive hospitality, this would easily be a 5-star spot. Solid option and they can deliver to the room if you scan from the room. We ordered and asked for it to be delivered and they said they couldn't. We returned for breakfast the next day and the food was delicious and hot! Definitely delivered...

    We finally tried the Borgata Buffet and honestly I do not understand some of the bad reviews…read more Yes it is a casino buffet so the price is higher at around 43 per person, but there are definitely ways to get it comped or discounted, and for the quality you are getting it actually feels worth it. The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata.

    A pretty solid buffet considering there aren't many buffet options in the area!…read more Sushi - dry and tasted fake Seafood - all of their fishes were the highlight of the offerings! The carving station had a salmon larger than I've ever seen too. Also appreciate that they offer a spiced version of the cocktail shrimp. Meats - prime rib was very dry and overcooked but the grilled steak has really great taste Everything else is pretty standard for a buffet. Huge compliments on all of the sauces they offer to go along with your food (steak sauce, au jus, melted butter, etc.).
