Is this New York restaurant as horrible as some reviews claim? We have two children in our family group going to NYC at Christmas and I am considering this restaurant if it would be really fun for the 9 and 6 year old. Has anyone eaten there?

I've been, and the food is probably as bad as you've heard, but the kids do love it.

Well, as they say, "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't." I guess it's better than going to a restaurant and expecting it to be wonderful, lol.

Thanks for your replies. I believe I will put it on the itinerary with a disclaimer.

I think you can do better, especially in a place like NYC.

You will pay a lot of money for bad food.

But the kids will love it. Mine still want to go back. We've been 3x and that is enough.

If you've eaten at Jekyl and Hyde, the food is worse at Mars.

Go for the experience. My kids loved the ride, too.

We went to Mars 2112 when our kids were 4, 6 & 10. They loved it. It is similar to a Disney character meal where the aliens come to your table and you can take pictures. The kids really did love it. As for the food - I would recommend sticking to the basics and you will do okay.

The food is on par with a Houlihans or an Applebees or a TGIFridays. You can get some good space-themed adult beverages. The kids will love it.

Think microwaved pizza and burgers. I believe they cook everything in the microwave.

Brad Pitt likes to bring the kids there a lot. It's always on Page 6 or something like that whenever they go. I've been, it's for kids only!

I am all over the space-themed adult beverages.
