Surprisingly good food for being located inside of an amusement park, Busch Gardens. Interesting that this section of the park is about Marco Polo and celebrating his return from the Silk Road, hence some eastern Asian style cuisine as well. Rush comes and goes, bummer that the cannoli section wasn't open. Prices are expensive (bc inside park obviously) but felt like portions were big and definitely filling.

I visited Busch Gardens today to take advantage of my Dine all day pass that I have not used. I enjoyed the new signature artesian flatbread! The ingredients were absolutely delicious! Service was good because there was a little bit of chaos with a large group ordering 10 cheese pizzas at once. Due to that reason my flatbread had been sitting out and wasn't fresh out of the oven. If the oven were larger I would have given 5/5. The ambiance was good for the circumstances. We attended the park on a rainy Friday. Will return for a fresh flatbread

This was disgusting. Online menu was misleading as it said there were snawhiches and better prices. I got lo mein IT WAS LITER-ALLY SPAGHETTI!!! This was a disgrace I've never left a place feeling so defeated.

This section of Busch Gardens is just plain beautiful the architecture the ambiance the people I adore all of it. The food that is served her during peak dates is more Italian but they have it set up cafeteria style with different food offered in different lines such as Chinese or chicken tenders. This year for the off season they have been offering a smaller menu yet stillUnique including soup and sandwiches The entertainment here is always magnificent they usually have the best singers and orchestra this year it is a performance of first Christmas complete with a pianist. The performance was amazing and beautiful they sang wonderfully bringing a tear to my eye they had a projector showing various Christmas scenes in the background as well I really love that there is ample seating with a roof overhead Marco Polo is a must stop at Busch Gardens

I’d love to share my experience today with the owner. Unacceptable. Not the usual service that is expected from this location. Can’t find a way to contact owner but if he is interested to hear- please reach out.

not sure what has happened since moving to the new building, but twice now I have been there and both times my order has been wrong. Of course, I don't know this until I get home. very disappointed

This is the worst food I’ve ever gotten from Chick-fil-A!! I am a very regular Chick-fil-A customer and talk about disappointed!! My fries were cold and hard, the nuggets were not fresh and my ten year old said that his sandwich was cooked hard, wasn’t hot or fresh. I usually NEVER have anything negative to say about my favorite fast food restaurant, but today was not a good day for Chick-fil-A!!??

BEWARE- this place is CLOSED, and it is one of only a very few options for the dining plan- I DO NOT recommend the dining plan- it is very restrictive, very crowded and long lines (well over 30 minutes) to pull cafeteria style food from a heat lamp.

Marketplace is easily the greatest dining hall on Campus. I love Christian!!!

When this restaurant first opened, it served amazing hand carved meats. I guess that's a memory now, likely lost to staffing and cost issues. Instead, it now serves poor imitations of Panda Express and Sbarro--both of which are poor imitations of Chinese and Italian cuisine. The Chicken Parmesan would have been right at home in the cafeteria of an impoverished elementary school. It is certainly served with all the grace of lunch ladies counting the days to retirement. Semi-dried out and partially covered in congealed melted cheese, it's saving grace is that by being bland, it didn't taste terrible. Spaghetti is similarly flavorless and covered in a cheap canned-tasting sauce. Mozzarella sticks are reminiscent of samples you might get at Costco. The one saving grace is the chocolate cake. It's moist but heavy with a thick icing. It's decent--not great mind you--but decent. Sort of like a reprieve from the chair that is still a life sentence with no parole. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED.

Walked in the restaurant to order, slipped on grease just walking through the front door...that should’ve been the second I turned around and left but stayed and decided to order anyways. The dining room is closed but decorated? The employee “break room” has officially made its way into the dining room. Front tables were scattered with fruity pebbles, pop tart boxes, and cans of red bulls. Waited approximately 10-15 minutes for 3 chicken sandwiches and fries only to get mildly warm food? With the amount of “bored looking” employees standing around you would expect hot food...will be driving to the other side of town to the other chick-fil-a from now on.

Almost 25 minutes in line. Unacceptable. Our restaurants in the Warrenton are more efficient.

I would like to give a big shout out to D'Shanna and the other managers for donating breakfast for Sentara's COVID Vaccine Clinic this morning. All the staff absolutely appreciates the yummy breakfast sandwiches.

nice employees, good service, clean restaurant area. but each time I go and try curbside, even when not particularly busy, it takes four times as long as the drive thru. the last two times I've been, I've waited over 10 minutes.
