Best

What a wonderful treat mars 2112 was! From the space shuttle trip entrance to mars, to the molecular regenerator exit to earth, it was all an exquisite dining experience. The atmo...

Worst

This place is worth a visit for it's unique atmosphere. Kids would love it especially, but don't come here if you're hungry. The food is horrible and overpriced.

Tons of Fun 11/21/2005

This place is so much fun! You get to go a a rocket ship simulation ride in order to ""travel to Mars. The main room really looks like Mars. The drinks and the food are awsome, which is totally unexpected in a place like this. The only negative is they won't let you get seperate checks. We were in a party of 10, and they said only two peopel could use credit cards to pay for their portion on the meal. Pros: Great Atmosphere, Great Food, Great Service Cons: Dumb payment rules more

Awful Rip-off 11/18/2005

$4.00 coat check, $10 for a tiny drink in a half-size plastic cup, and they automatically added a $2.00 per drink tip on the credit card bill! The nerve of this place. Will never return or recommend it. more

try it at least once 9/24/2005

If you've never been here you should try it at least once. It's definately a tourist stop. The prices are a little bit more than you'd expect with food portions that aren't proportionate to the prices. You're basically paying for the name and entertainment. There's an awesome ride before you enter the restaurant. The overall restaurant appearance was great. They have a great set up inside. more

Strictly for the little ones 8/12/2005

We almost didn't come here because of all the neg. reviews. But am glad we did! The food was not gourmet fare it was perfectly fine burgers, salads and pasta. The look of the place must have been really something when they first opened, but now our five year still loved it; our ten year old was suspicious of the hokey decor. The service was polite, friendly and prompt, the characters walking around entertained the kids but werent intrusive to our meal. The staff in general was very friendly. As parents we have endured Chuck E Cheese and Ronald McDonald, think of this a one step up. This place will definitely leave your little ones saying ""cool"" over and over again. For grown ups, wait to put them to bed and then have a real meal with a nice martini elsewhere. + 9 people for $280 in Times Square!! Pros: freindly, prompt service, good value Cons: outdated technology more

REALLY not worth the aggravation 10/24/2004

The family voted to go here because it sounded like fun. BAD decision. First they charged us $2/pp for ""entertainment"", which consisted of a very obnoxious and rude ""comedien"" walking around (who insulted my daugther's friend by making fun of her height), the use of the ""ride"" and one other alien we saw. If they need money that bad, they could charge a fee for those who wish to take the simulator ride. We, however, walked in. The food was cold, my daughter's burger raw in the middle and we didn't see our waiter for 40 minutes. I finally had to get the host to find him. No one came back with the mayo my daughter requested, to check on our food or refill our drinks. Once is enough -- thought it was a rip-off. There's plenty of places in NYC where your money would be better spent. Pros: Atmosphere Authentic, Kid Friendly Cons: , Poor service, Entertainment Fee! more

terrible 6/19/2004

You have to take a ""ride "" to Mars that will make you ""Space sick."" The atmosphere is intriguing and well designed. The menu is relatively bland and expensive, considering its simplicity. Then you order the food and it is beyond ""not good"" It is terrible. How can they mess up a salad (soaked in dressing), burn a hamburger and undercook fish and chips. We were so ready to get out of there. Word of mouth needs to spread and tell people to stay away until they improve the food. Don't go!!!!!!!!! My kids said it was the worst part of their visit to NYC. Pros: cool decorated walls Cons: , child tourist trap, terrible food more

Just Go For The Game Room 1/23/2004

The atmosphere is certainly unlike any other restaurant in all of Manhattan, but it is a pity that the food does not live up to the decor. What this establishment really needs is an overhaul of the entire menu, but then it would still not improve the service: my soup was delivered with half of the contents spilled onto the saucer, thus soaking the spoon. I guess Mars 2112 keeps the food bland for the family fare, but it only serves to detract from its overall experience. Avoid the food, the $2 entrance fee, and head straight to the game room! Pros: Game room, Decor, Interesting spot Cons: Food, Service, Long lines more

Even tourists can hate this place 11/15/2003

This place sucks!!!! At first the decoration of the place is so nice, so I thought this place seemed ok. The ride in the beginning was so damn sorry. The food was below ok. There is definitely better american restaurants in NY. The alien is kind of annoying that goes around the tables. Pros: Tourist area Cons: Food sucked, Over Priced more

Blehk! 7/31/2003

Obviously you are going to have to pay through the nose when visiting a Times Square tourist trap, but come on! Someone in my party inquired about a specific item on the menu, and the waiter said it was terrible. It was ALL terrible. Cafeteria quality food at outrageous prices. more

Are you ready to leave NY? 3/10/2003

The mini ride at the beginning was a very nice touch. The interior decorating, was out of this world but the only thing I personally did not like was the martians walking around. The food was OK, nothing worth going back for. What I do recommend is going once just to fill your curiosity, you won't regret it. Pros: Interior Design Cons: Price, Taste more

Bored? Take a trip to Mars. 1/3/2003

I went here twice in Summer 2002 and enjoyed it both times. Yes, it is not a 5 star restaurant, but interacting with the martians and that dr. mars guy is fun in itself. Try getting one of the 'silent' Martians to talk to you while you're there. Overall, a fun experience, just don't expect filet mignon. Pros: Cute, good music, courteous staff Cons: food is OK, can be crowded, arcade is too much $ more

Cheap Drinks, Scary Characters! 12/19/2002

My friends and I go to Mars when we want to drink cheap after work. You can't go wrong with half-priced drinks and appetizers. The only thing that bothers me about Mars are the creepy costumed aliens..... more

Very fun place! 12/4/2002

My husband took me there for my birthday and we thought the place was unique! I am very particular about food and service (having much experience in the business) was outstanding. The characters were great for children and adults! The service was a little slow b/c they were very busy, but they were friendly and the food was ready in no time. We would, and have recommended Mars to many people who have also enjoyed their experience there. Pros: Fairly inexpensive, FUN 4 adults and kids, Unique Cons: no parking, hard to find, sometimes long wait more

dirty tourist trap 11/21/2002

This place is disgusting. We went there b/c someone suggested it would be good for our kids. We waited over an hour and were eventually seated at folding tables with vinyl table cloths and folding chairs. The food seemed microwaved and I never want to know what goes on in the kitchen. Restaurant was not clean. Some of our kids were scared by the aliens walking around. Service was bad at times. Not a good value either. Stay away, get pizza and grilled cheese for the kids somewhere else! Pros: Game room, Music for kids Cons: Pricey, Crowded, Dirty more

Not #1 11/18/2002

Visited with a group - made us wait outside in the cold & rain over 30 minutes. One of our party was disabled and needed to use the elevator. It was locked and we were told it would take ""awhile"" to find the key. Food was so-so, service slow, very hard to find way around - easy to get lost finding rest room. NOT a fun experience - although the resident ""alien"" was a nice touch. Definitely WON""T be going back. Cons: level of service, NOt hanidcapped acces more

This place belongs on another planet! 10/24/2002

First of all, this place is hard to find at night. It actually sits under street level and the only thing that signifies that it is there is 4 small gray colored space ships on poles. We literally looked for this place for an hour. When we finally found it, there was a HUGE line outside. We stood in line for atleast 45 minutes and when we finally got to the front of the line we went through this small little ride to get inside. If you're claustrophobic, I don't recommend the ride. The inside is decorated nice but the service is horrible and the prices are rediculous. We sat down at a table and waited atleast 30 minutes and NOBODY waited on us so we got up and left. Needless to say, we'll never go back to that place. Pros: Can't think of ANY Cons: Terrible Service, Rediculously Priced, Hard to find at night more

Only Aliens would enjoy it! 10/23/2002

Mars 2112 is absolutely miserable. The service is terrible, the food even worse and the prices extremely unworthy. I'm afraid if they turned the lights on everyone including the ""alien"" waiters would be scared away...who knows what was living in the carpets. more

watch out tourist! 9/3/2002

This place is a hoax; it charges a ridiculous amount of money for practically anything you order, given the poor quality of the F&B's. Please believe the previous submissions about poor food quality and other disappointments, and not the 10's which have obviously been submitted by 'Mars 2112' friendly people!! Pros: easy to reach Cons: expensive, poor quality, bad service more

Cosmically Underwhelmed 8/26/2002

Aside from the ride into the dining area, this attemp at a theme restaurant was a huge disappointment for both of my kids (age 9 & 13) and my wife and I (kids at heart). The food was marginal, at best, the table service was a challange and the Spaceman character was annoying. With all the out of work actors in the City you would think they could have found some one better in tune with what he was supposed to be projecting. A Martian Henny Youngman doesn't score with the kids. Cons: too dark, uncomfortable seating more
