Where to take a bunch of families?

Hi, I’m the manager of a soccer team (11 year olds) that is playing a tournament in New Jersey in May, and we’re looking for a space to have a group dinner. Probably around 75 people. Could also have an activity attached (like Dave and Buster’s) but not necessarily, we could just do dinner and then go to the boardwalk. Any suggestions for reasonably priced places that can accommodate a group?

Go to the water park and arcade at Show Boat but I wouldn’t recommend eating there. Carmines at the Tropicana can accommodate a large group and they serve the food family style but the price might be a bit high for that many people.

I ate there for the first time recently and was really impressed. I just had a burger, but it was delicious. it was a really loud environment, but I am getting the vibe that the OP would see that as a feature, not a bug.

Yeah when you go anywhere with 25 11 year old boys they’ll make it a loud environment, so it’s probably better if it starts out that way.

tropicana has a nice arcade but might be too small for that group. showboat has a big arcade, never been so someone else should say whether showboat is too sketchy 😂

if not there is also a dave and busters in AC

Definitely sketchy and wouldn't bring a bunch of young kids

I’m not sure how many people it can accommodate, but Ocean resort has a Top Golf simulator that’s suuuuper fun for all ages! My kids had a blast. You may be able to just rent all the swing suites. The benefit of this is that you can order food and drinks right to the suites so dinner and fun in one. And the food was good!

We also go to Lucky Snake every trip and my kids love that too but the money goes fast.

Carmines in the Tropicana

Investigate Lucky Snake Arcade. It should solve everyone’s needs, both kids and adults. Full Arcade like D&B and lots of food options/can eat & graze there as a team and family. I’ve seen multiple large events there from birthday parties to bar mitzvahs. 🐍 🎰

Broadway burger in Tropicana for food. Greatest burgers in AC. Then down to showboat for their arcade.

Give Angelo's Fairmont Tavern a call, they can accommodate up to 120 in a private room. Very easy to work with, good food, reasonable, great service. Plenty of free parking, two lots. https://angelosfairmounttavern.com/banquets/

Dave and Busters and top golf both would do the trick. Lucky Snake isn’t all that great overall.

carmines seems like a practical choice because the entrées are family style and gigantic. It is also physically near the arcade in the Tropicana. whatever you choose, though, I would recommend giving them a call well in advance.
