It was the kind of place that you went to not so much for the food, but primarily for the atmosphere, and the fact that you could make an evening out of it.

Of course, I'm talking about the Rainforest Cafe.

The Rainforest Cafe Closes Another NJ Location, Leaving Only 1 In The State

At its height, the Rainforest Cafe had 16 domestic location as well as several international locations, all of which transported diners deep within the rainforest while they enjoyed a fun dining experience.

According to NJ.com, the Rainforest Cafe located within the Menlo Park Mall is now closed for good, leaving just 1 Rainforest Cafe location in Garden State.

And its last location is pretty iconic; it lives right on the legendary Atlantic City Boardwalk.

Looking at the menu for the Rainforest Cafe as an adult now, it's really nothing special. But what set this restaurant apart was its dedication to the theme and its ability to make you forget that you were at a restaurant and rather make you feel like you were exploring the depths of the jungle.
