Well, we had another amazing breakfast at Harper's; the place is a gem! Our server was very upbeat and 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. read more

Harper's was an awesome spot!! We absolutely loved it, they started us off with a sample of a complimentary smoothie which was peach and mango. 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. read more

This place has amazing breakfast! I ordered the 2 egg plate and it was nice to see that they had Gluten Free toast! The grits were so cheesy (I added Cheddar) and buttery. The flavor was so good I havent had grits that yummy in a LONG time. The chicken apple sausage was a little sweet fot me but overall the entire breakfast was amazing. The restaurant was beautiful inside and very clean. All the servers were friendly, efficient, and very professional. You also get a few sample of their smoothie if the day which is nice! I highly recommend it to anyone whether they are staying at Ocean or not! read more

This used to be the VIP lounge section, now a busy brunch spot. On the more elegant side of breakfast compared to Sunny's, this place charges for a pot of coffee based on size. I would say the coffee tastes more premium. Ordered a salmon burger with fries which was okay in my opinion. The salmon was cooked well, but could've used more flavor in my opinion. Would try their breakfast next time. Fruit plate for the kiddo, nothing wrong with that. Service was good and plenty of tables inside. read more

Came to Harper's with a large group after a night on the town. It was about a 20 minute wait which was bad considering the restaurant was PACKED (which is always a good sign) Great location right off the water made for a very calming wait. Brunch started with a slushy kind of beverage which rotates flavors every day or so (love a sweet treat) Everyone ordered a little something different but the Salmon BLT and Banana Foster French Toast were the highlights for me. Heard the shrimp and grits were also splendid. All the staff were fun and friendly. Our server was very efficient and patient with our indecisive group. Very reasonably priced as well. I'd come back! read more

Looking for a brunch place and they have good reviews. Checked in and had about a 20-minute wait. Not bad. Deb had the quiche. Said it was one of the best she has had. It tasted good to me as well. I had the Rueben Benedict. Delicious. If you like Rueben's, you love this. Fries needed work though. I like crispy fries. Overall, a pretty solid spot for a brunch and the prices are reasonable. read more

We came here for my boyfriend's birthday brunch and had the most amazing time. We were greeted as soon as we sat down and were given the smoothie of the day to sample while we looked over the menu. We ended up getting the oceans Benedict, A Harper's classic and our server's (Stacy) favorite, the French toast. We polished off everything and left absolutely stuffed full, can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Stacy for the wonderful experience and starting the birthday off right :) read more

Absolute safety failure -- 1 star only We had breakfast at Happer's one morning. We ordered bourbon sticky buns and Quiche Lorraine, plus French coffee. Mid-bite, my husband bit into a jagged sharp shard resembling glass or hard plastic baked inside the pastry. Our server Stacy was kind and professional; she apologized to us right away once we showed her the dangerous debris. Unfortunately, when she brought over the manager, management's response felt excessive and unsettling. They called a security officer to scan my husband's driver's license and required us to write and sign an official incident statement. Later, the kitchen chef admitted the hazardous fragment came from Happer's kitchen. The restaurant comped our bill to apologize, yet this careless error could lead to devastating injuries. If a child had eaten this pastry, choking or life-threatening internal tearing could be a very real danger. Sharp debris in food is a completely preventable breach of basic food safety rules at Happer's。 read more

The last time we stayed at Oceans we came across this place as we were leaving and decided the next time we stayed we were gonna go. That brings us to today. We had a 1030 reservation and were seated within 5 minutes of arriving. We had pregamed the menu on the TV in room, but ofcourse once we got there we changed our minds We got the sticky bun to share...and glad we only ordered the one because it is HUGE! You can see the remnants of it in my picture. Perfect level of sweet served in a skillet! Let it sit a minute because it's hot. I ordered the butcher shop omelet, came with chorizo, bacon, cheese, etc. It is PACKED! it looks small in the picture compared to what you'd get at a Jersey diner but it's deceptive. I could not finish it, and it was delicious. The orange juice was very fresh also. read more

Harper's - Butchers Shop Omelet, filled with multiple meats. The size is deceptive! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

Very disappointing overall. The food was either completely bland or overwhelmingly seasoned. We tried to branch out and order some of the more unique items on the menu rather than sticking with the basics like pancakes and eggs -- that turned out to be a major mistake. As I walked around the restaurant, I noticed that nearly every table had the "safe bets": bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Now I see why. Since it was our first time here, we wanted to try dishes that you don't usually get for breakfast. The quiche lorraine had no flavor whatsoever. The poached egg on the mitake mushroom benedict was so overcooked it was almost gummy -- I didn't even know you could get that kind of texture in a poached egg. The mushroom and the home fries were similarly bland and under-seasoned. The shrimp and grits, on the other hand, were completely overpowered by whatever blend of spices they used. And apparently, they love crispy fried onions here, because they top nearly everything with them. In my experience, touches like that are often used to cover up poor cooking in the kitchen. Also worth noting: the cappuccino came out lukewarm. No flavor, bland sides, and an overall underwhelming experience -- especially considering the prices. We probably won't be returning. Dio, however, was an excellent server. Friendly, attentive, and warm -- he was the highlight of the visit. None of the food issues were his fault, and he truly provided wonderful service. read more

The staff, Stacy, Francisco, Gladis, and Rich (Head Chef) are exceptional. Attentive, friendly yet professional. We go nowhere else for breakfast because of the above. We request Stacy as our waitress because she goes out of her way to always make it an exceptional and memorable experience. Not just for our table but we hear her at others and she provides the same quality of service. It comes naturally to her and one can tell. It truly makes a difference. We took our family who was visiting from IL and they were highly impressed with the food and the staff. They are looking forward to returning. Must not forget the hostess, Angela and the Mgr., great people too!! read more

Harper's is a brunch restaurant inside Ocean Casino Resort. They are open Mon - Fri 8AM - 1PM and Sat - Sun 8AM - 2:30PM. Every time I stay at Ocean I make sure to stop at Harper's. I've seen a few inconsistencies with the food and service here, but overall it's a great place to grab breakfast/lunch. I'm one to try different things on the menu, but when it comes to Harper's I always order the same thing; steak & eggs. The dish consists of two petite filet mignon medallions, two eggs any style, bearnaise, home fries, and toast. Service is good to great depending on who takes care of you. Fran was my server on my last visit and he awesome. He was friendly, accommodating, and attentive from the moment I sat down.

Came here for brunch Saturday with my boyfriend, a little after noon and we got seated right away, greeted by our server Stacy! Who was really informative and really sweet. We each got two eggs any style, and then we shared a short stack of pancakes. The food was good portions and really good. We also got a tasting of their daily smoothie which was mango and strawberry and it was really refreshing and tasty. For drinks I ordered a pomegranate mimosa and my boyfriend ordered the daily smoothie. Beautiful restaurant with a view of the ocean and great service. read more

We went to Harper's around 1 PM on a Sunday, there was no wait and we were seated promptly. We were immediately greeted by someone that filled up our water cups and within a minute or two our server Mike came by and promptly brought coffee over. The coffee was wonderful. We placed our order. I had the eggs with potatoes and chicken sausage. I was happy that they had an option for gluten-free toast. My husband ordered the steak and eggs. Our food was delivered in a timely fashion and looked very appetizing and also tasted great. The portion was large for me so I took my extra for later. The restaurant itself has a prime location with views of the ocean if you sitnear enough to the windows, everything was clean and inviting. I would definitely recommend if you are at ocean or in Atlantic City. read more

Excellent breakfast and service. A little pricey but that's to be expected at a casino restaurant. Had the Turkish Eggs which was a very unique and refreshingly light. It was a play on a traditional Eggs Benedict and was delicious. My wife and I went twice on our last stay at Ocean and we also had the shrimp and grits, Ocean Benedict and the quiche. All were awesome. Probably one of the best breakfast spots in AC! read more

Harper's made my list after doing some research on notable trendy brunch spots in AC. Upon arrival we were greeted by the hostess, informed them about our reservation and were promptly seated. I will say, the Ocean Resort and Casino is definitely my speed. Harper's has all the making aesthetically of the Instagram worthy brunch spot. It's open and airy feel with trendy, neat, and clean sleek decor made it very inviting. Their reservation system was efficient, and the staff were polite and attentive. However, the food left more to be desired. Before we ordered, our waiter, Nancy gave us complimentary mango smoothies in shot glasses. For starters, we had the sticky bun which was quite large but good to share with our group. Our waiter, Nancy, did warn us that the portions were large and suitable for sharing. I could tell the bun was not fresh but the flavor was decent. We definitely had other patrons looking over at our table because I think the size of the dish brought on some attention. The hot chocolate was a decent size and flavorful. It reminded me of rich flavored hot chocolate from my childhood. I ordered the egg white omelet but forgot to ask if I could replace the mozzarella cheese with cheddar cheese. In my opinion, the mozzarella cheese did not blend well with the vegetables in the omelet. The home fries and wheat toast that accompanied the egg whites were good. The whipped butter definitely hit the spot. Nancy and Francisco were a great team that took care if us! We were thankful for their hospitality. read more

I'm not a morning person and rarely wake up in time to go have breakfast. Staff were all friendly and polite. Our waiter "Hao" greeted us and even offered us a shot glass strawberry smoothie. And I really appreciate that. Now, usually when I do go for breakfast the portion is small at other places and afterward I'll be hungry for more but not Harper's! They have some pretty big plates of food. I would have to say, I almost couldn't finish my food. I recommend getting their French press coffee. Waiter brings you a pot and you press the coffee down. It is on a pricey side but you get about 4-5 cups out of it. I gotten the blueberry pancakes. Pancakes were packed with fresh blueberry. You know it's fresh because the blueberries wasn't syrupy or gooey. Also comes with whipped cream on the top. Such a tasty breakfast. If you're a morning person and you're by ocean casino, stop by and catch h them out. read more

Always a great place for breakfast. Make reservations or you will be waiting for at least 40 mins. You can call or you can do it online. The coffee is always amazing.

Bourbon Sticky Bun Presentation is fantastic. The caramelized pecans were great. The cream topping should've been allowed to get to room temperature. Since it was so cold it made bites with ice cold pockets. The bun itself is recycled warmed up making it dry and stale in the middle. This would be amazing if freshly baked in the morning and when they sell out it's gone for the day. It definitely tasted day old that was warmed up. Chicken and waffles The chicken was so over cooked it was a brick. I couldn't even cut it with a butter knife. The chicken lacked flavor, no seasoning on it at all. It was dry and chewy. They at least got the golden color of the fry. The cornbread waffle was dried out. The only good item was the mustard drizzle sauce. It tasted like it sat under a heat lamp and was made a while ago. Grits They are made with water! If you are southern don't even bother getting them. The ratio of water is way too much. Yes it's creamy in presentation, there's not enough butter fat or heavy cream to give it the rich goodness that grits are supposed to have. I'm not sure how this place made it on the list of "best brunches", maybe it's the view. The view of the ocean is stunning, the food left nothing to be desired. read more

Had brunch at Harper's again after checking out during a recent stay at Oceans. I still highly recommend making a reservation and we were seated after a brief wait and I was surprised at how busy it was that morning. We were immediately served the smoothies which was a nice treat. Our waitress took our order and I got the breakfast platter and my sister chose an omelette. We also wanted to try the pancakes and ordered a short stack to share. Both of our meals came with flavorful breakfast potatoes and toast. The pancake was large enough to share between the two of us. Everything tasted great! Harper's is a great breakfast spot for your stay while at Oceans or even if you are staying at a different property while in Atlantic City. It is worth the visit! read more

Located in the main lobby of the Ocean casino and resort. Nice views and atmosphere. Very busy restaurant and the brunch menu is pretty lean. Service was great and the staff really hustle here. Pricey and portions are good all in all the breakfast was good but none of us actually finished any of the breakfast. I had the shrimp and grits and the Ocean omelette which had no flavor and dry. 8 had to request a side of hollandaise sauce just to eat the omelette, there was also a veggie omelette and chocolate chip pancakes as well. I do like their French press coffee. read more

I was staying at the Ocean Resort and decided to stop at Harper's for breakfast. I would say that Harper's is the main sit-down breakfast option at Ocean. They also have a Starbucks and a casual option on the casino level - Harper's is on the same floor as the lobby. When I ate at Harper's, the menu was limited as Atlantic City had a boil water advisory, so hot drinks, poached eggs and oatmeal was unavailable. I opted to get the Harper's waffles, which was four waffles topped with berries and whipped cream. They were pretty tasty, but also very big and I did not finish it. My biggest complaint was that I did not think our waitress was very good. She did not ask us if we wanted drinks for example. Additionally, she was not very professional in speaking to us. Altogether, Harper's is a solid breakfast place at the Ocean resort. They could improve on their service, but at least their food is good. read more

We wanted to grab brunch/lunch with family before hitting the road so we made a reservation here, especially since we were staying at the hotel and this was convenient. This place is near Top Golf (don't waste your time here!) and has an almost view of the ocean. There is a bar with TVs but they've yet to program them for sports and other shows so beware for now. Upon being seated we were given samples of the smoothie of the day. I believe they were peach based; they were tasty, pleasantly fresh and sweet. We all enjoyed our meals, everything was flavorful and cooked well. The eggs were scrambled with cheddar, there were pockets of gooey cheese which made each bite fantastic. The ham was large and in charge, quite savory. The French toast was prettyyyyy thick, but! Flavor was everything, the syrup was the perfect compliment to each warm bite. The berries on the side were good as well, though I wish they were more of a compote but either way, still hit. Not pictured is an espresso martini I had, they made it with baileys how I like but it didn't hit like back home. Our kind and attentive waitress took very good care of us; i forgot her name unfortunately but she made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us in a timely fashion. This place was really one of be best places we dined at this trip-- food & service superior than most. read more

I live like 15 minutes from Ocean Casino but I've never been. So why not Christmas Morning for brunch. Located in the hotel's lobby so we had a lot of cool things to look at while we waited. We made reservations for 12:30 but we got a real early. I didn't want to sit at a lobby table, but after we were sitting a bit I liked it. Lots to see while my family were on their phones. The mimosas and drinks were good, but the "starters" bourbon sticky bun (fantastic) flatbread (very good) took some time getting to us and I was afraid they would bring them out with breakfast. That gave us a good 5 min before they brought them out sooo. My wife liked her salmon BLT and my son liked his Harper Burger. They both said the french fries which were top-notch. I got the butchers omelette and it was ok. All and all we had a nice Christmas Brunch. Now we are going to gamble a little bit. Wish us luck. read more

Harper's is an excellent choice for breakfast and brunch. The service is always top shelf! Once seated the service staff usually give you a complimentary shot of a fruit smoothie, yum! You can't go wrong with the breakfast items. The coffee is served in a French press as the coffee grounds are still steeping and drawing out that robust and full flavor of the coffee beans. One taste and you can tell the difference. The serving sizes are plentiful for a big eater like myself and the proteins are always cooked to perfection. They really do an amazing job on the home fries as they are seasoned well, cubed and fried to a beautiful golden brown. The texture is pure joy! A definite go-to place for breakfast and brunch! Check the schedule carefully as they close early. read more
