Nice restaurant but sonewhat over-rated
This restaurant is so popular amongst visitors during the summer months that the service staff serm unable to keep up w/the high demqnd of the visiting patrons.
I was told that l would have an hour or more wait b4 l would be able to acquire a table. So, l decided to go to sit @ the bar in the hopes that the service would have been quicker- it wasn't!
And by the time my order came out, it was cold & hard. I had ordered the shrimp & grits meal. Now l have eatten here @ Resorts Casino Margaritaville Restaurant b4 on the off summer season, & l had acquired much better service & better quality food. This time, my favorite meal came out to me cold & the grits were hard and as dry as the Sahara Desert.
It seemed as though the restaurant was short staffed & the workers looked underpaid & overworked.
Off summer season service & food quality, @ this restaurant appear to be better when the wait staff are less stressed out.

We went with two couples two hours before the listed closing time but it seemed we were being rushed. It was a cold night and raining We were told that coffee wasn't available anymore at that time . While eating they closed off the entrance with a screen and brought our check right when our entrees came even though it was still over a hour until closing it seemed really rushed. Our food wasn't as good as it usually is when we go there the steaks are usually great but not this time the bbq platter was great though and the shrimp pasta dish was two both steaks seemed tough though .

While attending a conference at Resorts Hotel and Casino, a group of four decided to eat dinner at Margaritaville. The best part of our dinner was our wonderful server, Porscha! Unfortunately, our meals were not very appetizing.
Two in our party ordered Shrimp and Grits. They love this low country-favorite. But the Shrimp and Grits were extremely dry, had very little shrimp and almost no andouille sausage. They asked for some extra gravy, but that didn't help this sad dish. They complained that it had no flavor. It would have also been nice if a roll or corn muffin was served with this dish. Another in our party ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad, which he said was just ok. Mine was perhaps the best choice in the group and I ordered a Southwest Chicken Salad, which was quite tasty. One in our party also ordered a Perfect Margarita. This expensive drink came in a glass that wasn't very large and wasn't even filled anywhere close to the top. Overall, the food and beverages in this restaurant were overpriced and underwhelming.
As mentioned above, the best part of our meal was Porscha. She was extremely friendly, very helpful, and couldn't do enough to make sure we had what we needed. She also had a very sweet personality! She is a real asset to your restaurant.
After spending some time in AC, my husband and I are thinking that it would be fun to return on our own. But we definitely will skip Margaritaville on future trips.

Had a wonderful experience at this location. Amaris (Hannah) was awesome. She made great recommendations, was very friendly and attentive. The food was good. Loved the music and the key lime pie hit the spot. The bartender and the hostess (missed their names) were pleasant and looked out for their customers to make sure they had the best experience possible. Will definitely return.

I was just completely disappointed in Resorts Casino Hotel and Margaritaville Atlantic City at their Fins Up celebration, what a total joke. I drove an hour and a half to go down there today to celebrate the life of Jimmy. I would have felt closer to Jimmy going to Cracker Barrel. First off, no meat in the Volcano Nachos and $25 for them, my sons Mac and Cheese was Kraft right out the box, I ordered a loaded landshark and did not get the shot of tequila though they swore it was in there, the waiter we had never came back and checked in with us until we we were halfway through the meal when he passed by on his way to another table with silverware and asked us if he had ever given us silverware which he never did, good thing we ordered nachos and appetizers. We complained and they gave us a 25% off the bill. Then the boardwalk thing that was supposed to be going on was a country cover band that did covers of Eric Church and Kid Rock never really giving that island vibe at all it wasn’t like they played Chesney, Zac Brown, and other island type music. I would have been happy if they would have had a steel drum. I hate to say it but I will never go back to Margaritaville Atlantic City and that hurts me to say. They even took out the trademark giant blender from in the front. The restaurant itself didn’t even play tropical music. There is no sign of Jimmy left on that place at all and I was really hoping for the vibe of Jimmy, today of all days!

My wife and I love Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville having visited many of these restaurants around the world. We love the relaxed theme and tropical decor of the restaurant inspired by the Jimmy Buffett song. For a themed restaurant the menu is quite good with seafood, burgers and salad dishes, plus of course the beers and margarita drinks! Our server was great, enjoying being there, and whilst this restaurant location didn't quite have the atmosphere of some of the others we have visited, it was none the less, a far more enjoyable experience than another well known themed restaurant with trees, waterfalls, volcanoes and earthquakes - yes, you know the one!

Ate here while staying at the Hard Rock for a few days. Never ate at one and thought we would give it a try. Our server was less than friendly, and the food looked and tasted like it was just pulled from the frozen food section of my local grocery store. I expected better. Much better. Will not return.

Service is incredibly slow. We wanted to grab dinner and head back to the casino and we ended up spending way too much time here. Took forever to get a table in an almost empty restaurant then 30 minutes before someone took our drink order. There seemed to be as many staff as patrons, so I'm not sure what was causing the service to be so slow. Food was ok.

Group of 4. One person ordered the shrimp pasta for $32. He got 6 small popcorn shrimp and not much pasta. His wife ordered a burger, and the bun was burnt on the inside. My wife ordered the burger (which was overcooked) with raw onions and didn't get them. I ordered the wings which were overcooked. Our waitress Brooke was great, but OMG, what horrible food....won't be back...

Horrible service. At 730, we were told there was an hour wait. Added our name to list they were supposed to text us. Returned to hostess an hour later because we were not texted and she looked confused as though she did not have us on list. Seated in a back corner. It took 30 minutes for server to bring drinks. Our food never came and finally 45 mins after our drinks arrived another server came by and said our server left for the night and she would take over. We explained we had been waiting for food for over an hour. 15 minutes later and she never returns with an update
I finally found a Manger and as I was speaking with her the food appeared. You would think the Manager would have followed up with us. She did not care either. I contacted corporate and no response from them. Obviously it is acceptable service
Choose another restaurant. Overpriced. Food was ok and they were out of Italian salad dressing so they brought nothing and left without offering another option.

First time ever to dine at any Margaritaville, and if this branch is a representative of the rest of its chains, we would say we're pretty satisfied! Its location in the Boardwalk is smack in the middle of where the hubbub is and yet once one gets in they'll be treated to a vibe that's separate from the outside. Lava Lava Shrimp, Appetizer Trio and their burgers are worth checking out -- they're nicely done! Our trainee server was with their staff observer and they both did a great job in making our party feel at ease. The menu prices are par for the course; it's something to be expected and yet the quality of the meals are worth it.
Almost forgot: its Live Music! At least during our brief stay everyone was treated to a number light, catchy songs which invite you to sing along while enjoying your food. Just think of Jimmy B's genre about the song pieces. For us, that's our thing!

This has to be the most overrated and underwhelming place in Atlantic City. Went for dinner and was absolutely the worst. Had the worst burger which was nothing I ordered which made me ill at night. Watched chaos ensue over people sending their food back. The thought that Jimmy Buffet puts his name on the place amazes me. $98 including tip for a burger , salad , two beers, and two mixed drinks was appalling. The only positive of the entire experience was the bartender who not only negotiated with people over their food but made drinks, ran the food back, and tried to salvage any hope of a tip. Do yourself a favor- plenty of pricey food in A C but eat something that won’t make you sick!

I ordered the Lava Lava Shrimp and I tell you the shrimp was salty and overcooked and did not look like the actual pic, I did tell the waitress and she offered to bring another one which I refused, Why I refused..... I used to be a waitress and whenever food is sent back to the kitchen the chef gets upset and ............................ Never, ever going back there. Oh one more thing the bathrooms are old and filthy!!!!!

Stopped in around 4:30 for a early dinner/late lunch and decided on the Beach Club Sandwich with Fries to share. Our sandwich was very good and fries were better tasty also, the portion was plenty for the 2 of us. The bartender was friendly and the atmosphere as always wonderful.....Stopped in again this past Friday, October 27th and decided on the 5 o'clock Somewhere for our drinks and decided on the Beach Club again to share. As always the Club's are great, drinks were delicious and atmosphere one of the best.

Disappointing from start to finish. Plastic utensils? Plastic drinkware? If you can order a full entree and need to cut a piece of chicken or fish, you need more than a plastic knife.
Waitress kept disappearing, had to find other people to help bring things the waitress forgot.
I didn’t care for my drink. Told the waitress. She said “yeah I always tell people to get the ___ instead, nobody complains about that one.” Well, you don’t ALWAYS tell people because if you did I would have listened.
I couldn’t find her to ask for a manager and by the time she came back we had to leave for a show.
I understand it’s basically a hamburger place and that’s fine, but my expectations were pretty low anyway and it still was disappointing. I’ve been to other Margaritaville locations and had a very different experience. This one was $100 for plastic utensils and bad service. You get better quality food, supplies, and atmosphere at an Applebees.
