Tuna on toasted wheat - pretty ok.
Missy S.

My friends and I wanted to eat lunch in between sessions at a conference but we didn't have a lot of time. Someone suggested the sandwich place that was attached to the convention center and I thought it would be awful. But the food was decent. The soup was homemade and very tasty, and though the prices were a bit high, I was thankful for the proximity and convenience.

Close up of breakfast burrito goodness
Sara M.

Best breakfast I had in Atlantic City! This is a no-frills, walk-up kiosk located in the train station just across the street from the Sheraton where I was staying. But poor reviews of my hotel's restaurants led me to venture out. Esquires filled the gap! I ordered a small coffee and a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, pork roll (a Jersey thing), and provolone cheese in a whole wheat tortilla to go. The clerk asked if I'd like it with grilled peppers and onions, which was a great suggestion. As I waited for the burrito, I made my coffee the way I like it and chatted with a station security guard. The coffee station and dining tables could use a little attention, as empty sugar packets were strewn about and the tables had overused plastic tablecloths with tears. The consensus: my burrito was excellent and generously filled. I cut it in half and steam billowed out! You won't find a tastier, casual, fresher breakfast at an affordable price nearby.

A hidden GEM!
Roberto A.

This is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the waiting area of the NJ Transit AC station, this place had been a lifesaver when attending anything at the AC convention center. From wraps to sandwiches to burgers to fries. Everything and I mean everything we have had for the 4 days we have been attending the event has been great. Do yourself a favor. When in the area go eat there.

Bacon, egg, and cheese kaiser.
Eric G.

I was looking for a quick snack to tide me over for the hour and half train ride from Atlantic City to Philadelphia. I was going to stop at the Starbucks in Harrahs but the line was insanely long so I nixed that idea. I took the taxi over to the NJ Transit and found this place. They're the only place for food at the NJ. The folks working the counter were friendly. Most importantly there was no line like at the Starbucks. It did pick it with customers once more folks rolled in to catch the AC to Philly train. I decided on a bacon, egg, and cheese kaiser. I wasn't a fan of the Kraft-like cheese slice and I admit the eggs didn't look real but in a pinch it did tide me over for the train ride.

Hot Toasted Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese
Holly A.

If you're stuck at the train station or looking for a quick bite around the convention center, this place is a good spot. The woman at the counter and that made our bagels was super friendly. They have bagels, sandwiches, salads, coffee, and of course, newspapers. There's plenty of snacks and drinks, too. We got Everything Bagels toasted with cream cheese. They were really fresh and delicious! Great for quick bites!

Pork roll egg and cheese! So good!
Dominic D.

Great spot! Great breakfast at a more than affordable price. Located at convention center, but in the train station area. Worth the wait, when there is a line.

This used to be good until they started using fake eggs, which made for a tasteless breakfast sandwich.

Well, we had another amazing breakfast at Harper's; the place is a gem! Our server was very upbeat…read moreand friendly, but at just the right level that you would want to set the stage for the day ahead. The dining area was bustling, but the tables were spread out enough that the crowd was not intrusive. We again ordered a pot of their rich French press coffee, which was the potent kick we needed. For my meal, I went with the Egg White Omelet with baby spinach, tomatoes, and a substitute of mushrooms for what was supposed to have been fresh mozzarella. I asked for the omelet to be cooked "well-done" and not runny, and it came out absolutely perfect. It was served with some of the best home fries I had ever had. They were well-seasoned and not too greasy. Even the unbuttered whole wheat toast was of good quality. Harper's is definitely one of our favorite places to eat in the Ocean Resort.

Our waiter was on point making sure to be quick and polite. He gave us 5% off for being members to the oceans, which was something that made us feel nice as he went out of his way. AC is expensive that's for sure but this place didn't feel as bad. We ordered the Harper's breakfast and blueberry pancakes. Pictures will be attached. Both meals were great, pancakes were delicious.

Well, if you read my previous review about the Borgata this is an update. We decided to try it…read moreagain and were very pleasantly surprised. We booked a room in the MGM Tower. It was named the Restore room as it had an air purifier and small machine that made your room smell so clean. It was so incredibly clean, comfortable and quiet. The resort was super crowded but it did not compromise the service as everyone was so helpful and courteous. I would highly recommend the Borgata MGM Tower. As a side note, we did pay for this room vs the first time was a comp , not sure if that made the difference but either way a great stay! We definitely will be back!!

Very Disappointing -- Borgata Has Really Gone Downhill…read more I visited the Borgata buffet over Labor Day weekend with my family of four, and the total was close to $200. Unfortunately, for that price, I honestly felt that we would have been better off going to a regular restaurant with better tasting food. I hadn't been to the Borgata buffet in a very long time. I remember when it was around $30-$35 per person, and I had much better memories of the food. That's why it was especially disappointing to see how much it seems to have declined. There were a few highlights. The gelato was very good, and I will say the dessert section seems to have improved. The salmon was probably the standout savory dish. The platanos, waffles, pork ribs, and meatballs were also good. The General Tso's chicken was decent as well. Unfortunately, those positives were outweighed by the negatives. There wasn't even much of a fruit selection anymore, which was surprising for a buffet at this price point. The sushi rice wasn't prepared properly all mushy and the shrimp cocktail didn't taste particularly fresh. The seasoned shrimp was also far too salty. The seafood section was particularly disappointing. The clams were so salty that they were essentially inedible, and whoever seasoned the mussels simply did not get the seasoning right. These are not particularly complicated dishes, so it was surprising to see them executed so poorly. The fried foods were also hit or miss. Some batches looked cooked on the outside, but the shrimp inside were still undercooked and appeared almost raw. Some of the vegetables, such as the zucchini, were noticeably undercooked as well. The steak was very tough, while the prime rib was extremely bland and lacked flavor. The Chinese section, aside from the General Tso's chicken, was particularly disappointing. The pasta dishes, including the macaroni and cheese over cooked and tasteless w alfredo being was oddly sweet was extremely underwhelming. And honestly, this is what surprised me most about the entire experience. It's not as though the buffet has an enormous number of dishes that would make it impossible to maintain quality. The selection is relatively limited, and many of the individual dishes are not particularly difficult to prepare. Yet so many of them were either poorly seasoned, undercooked, overcooked, bland, or simply not executed well. When you have a smaller selection of dishes, you would expect those dishes to be done really well. Instead, it felt like there were only a handful of things that were actually worth eating. That is what made the experience so surprising and disappointing. Overall, a large majority of the food was simply not good enough to justify going to a buffet. At nearly $200 for four people, I expected significantly better quality and consistency. What made this experience even more disappointing is that this was my parents' first time staying at the Borgata. Unfortunately, the food experience was poor enough that it actually made them less interested in wanting to stay at the hotel again. When you're spending money on a casino resort, the dining experience is part of the overall experience--and a bad meal can definitely affect whether you want to return. Borgata used to be one of my favorite places to go in Atlantic City, so I really wanted to like it. But after this visit, I'm not sure I would choose it over newer properties like Hard Rock or Ocean Casino Resort. Those properties may be newer, but at this point, I think I'd rather spend my money there than return to this buffet. Overall: very disappointing, especially considering the price and what I remember Borgata being like in the past.

My family and I went Atlantic City for Labor Day weekend and after spending a good amount of money…read morefor food in the hotel and on the boardwalk we opted for a more reasonable place to have breakfast our last day there, and that is when we found on google maps this cafe. We drove there and the place is small there's about 4 small tables to sit and eat at. Our waitress Makiyah was nice as she took our orders. My son ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, and French toast which he devoured. I ordered scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage gravy, and turkey bacon, which was good and hubby ordered scrambled eggs, ham, home fries with toast. And we all wash it down with a nice cold Snapple. If you are looking for a reasonable spot in the Atlantic City area, check them out, I do recommend. It will do the trick. Cheers

7/8/24 We needed an…read moreinexpensive breakfast since we've spent way too much for breakfast in the resorts. So I googled and yelped somewhere close or on our way out of AC. We had to park in the strip malls parking lot and walk over. The area is a little sketchy, I would not want to walk through in the dark... We got to the restaurant and it really is a hole in the wall! There were several fans on high, no AC. We almost turned around and walked out, but we were hungry and it's just breakfast, it shouldn't take long. There are 4 two seater tables and 1 that can hold 3 but has supplies on it. There was just another couple there when we walked in. As we ordered and waited a party of 3 and 4 walked in and grabbed the other tables. Another party of 3 sat at the bigger table but walked out after a few mins. Too bad for them, they missed a good breakfast. 2 meat platter - Corned Beef Hash and Sausage with 2 Eggs, Home fries and Toast - corned beef was crispy, unlike other places that serve them soggy. Home fries were delicious, I usually never touch them, but these were so good. The 2 Eggs were nicely seasoned, you don't see that elsewhere. Shrimp and Grits were perfect - I honestly was not expecting fried shrimp but it works and was really good. The grits were perfect, not watery and not dry, also seasoned so I didn't have to fight with the bowl to flavor it lol Watermelon Lemonade - I like finding different flavors of soda/juice not usually found in north Jersey/NYC area hehehe Mike was nice a nice guy. Definitely give him a try, you won't regret it.
