Driving home from AC, we didn't want to eat anything that was a chain. I turned to yelp and was excited to see this place. It turned out to be the superlative BEST chicken and waffle I'd ever had. Ever! If JJs is reading this: I really loved everything- the delicious food, the warm service, the greeting from the dark haired host with the tattoos, the offer of coffee while we waited (nice touch!) My only piece of feedback is to please use a notebook to keep a list of waiting parties. The owner came out and said "who was here first?" A fight almost broke out because two parties claimed to be a head of each other. Please just write the names in a notebook from Staples so there is no awkwardness for customers. Other than than almost-fight incident, the food is well worth any wait! The service was very attentive and the gravy on the chicken and waffle is the best thing I have ever eaten in my entire life. read more

Went to AC for a weekend trip and when we were leaving we were starving. Searched for diner we would pass and came across JJ's. Once we got there we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. They have some good food choices, but I really wanted a diner breakfast and ordered the western omelette with Swiss cheese, home fries with crispy bacon on the side. My husband ordered from the specials, the 50/50 burger. It's made of angus beef and Italian sausage. We both loved our meals, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the home fries were cooked just how i like them, with a little crisp. I took a bite of the burger and it was DELICIOUS!!! The combination of the two meats was sooo good, and the burger was cooked a perfect medium. When we go back to AC we will definitely be stopping by JJ's! read more

JJ's is still fantastic. They have moved locations since my last review but the quality is still superb. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often. This time I had an omelette with a side of oatmeal. Honestly, I don't know how they did it, but it was the best oatmeal I've ever had. Can't wait to be back! read more

First of all the food was fantastic & the service was just as good. I mistakenly left my credit card behind & they mailed it to me immediately. Beyond expect-ions! read more

We are visiting from Wv and staying at Caesars. This is by far the best breakfast we have had our entire trip, the service was exceptional and the food was out of this world! Try the hash patty and grits read more

Back to Jersey after a 5 year absence, best food I've had in years So good to have diner food ! read more

So yes, this place is definitely worth the hype. Believe me I didn't think that a diner could have such a following. Everything was amazing!!!! The chicken and waffles though was god like. They have engineered some type of maple gravy that is very addictive. Kudo to this place, they are doing a darn good job. P.s. please change your address on Google. It still has the address of the old location. Correct address is (6711 Washington Ave, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08232) read more

Breakfast excellent..servers friendly, big portions...coffee prices too high....reasonable food prices

My friends and I were looking for a cheap spot to grab a quick bite on our way home from AC, and we ended up at JJ's. Food was pretty good and was definitely one of the better diners I've tried. The menu isn't too overwhelming like other diners and they provide a good list of daily specials and everything is homemade (the beef hash was amazing). However, this place truly shines when it comes to customer service. Everyone there is super friendly and my friend commented that it felt like she was eating in her own kitchen. Will definitely keep this place in mind on my next visit to AC! read more

Really hard to review since the Diner has moved to a much larger location near the old Cardiff mall. Not the old feel of down the road, but owner says he had to close the old one at least temporarily due to seating restrictions. Not going to bash new location, but just not the same. Service and new interior to an old diner are very good. Cleanliness perfect. Food just did not come up to expectations. Going to leave it at that since it may have been a bad day in the kitchen for breakfast last Sunday.. read more

10/10 service and food! Amazing The location is nice and clean, family friendly and quiet. Great for any meal at any time. read more

This place lives up to the hype! The food is insanely delicious and cheap - exactly what diner food should be. It's worth the short drive if you're spending a weekend in Atlantic City The biscuits and gravy are amazing. They put huge chunks of the sausage in it, the gravy is nice a smooth, and it is more than enough to fill you up (surprisingly without being super heavy). Also try out the disco fries - they look like a mess but it's a perfect mix of brown gravy, cheese, and battered fries. Although the food did take a little time to come out, everything comes out piping hot and fresh tasting, so it's worth the wait. read more

I went to this place with my 2 sons after coming back from the Philadelphia airport. I live nearby and was intrigued on how good the place was seeing it full every day. I ordered a coffee and my son's ordered breakfast and orange juice. I add sugar to the coffee and when I was ready to drink it, my son hold my hand and told me: mom don't drink that. I was confused and he said mom turn the cup around and when I did I saw it had red lipstick on it (and I wasn't wearing any lipstick, not even lip gloss). They called the waitress and she only said sorry and brought a new cup. Which I checked really well. No excuses, no discounts nothing. The waitress wasn't even interested in servicing us. I don't understand how that place is always full. If I could give 0 star I would. read more

I always go for breakfast & get what I asked for. Servers are quick. Pathing never a problem.

Only open for lunch and breakfast. Real fast is always served. Food is good and freshly made. You can substitute within the order as it is fresh Waitresses are pleasant and fast. They know what to ask as they are experienced. Thank you ladies for your service and smile. read more

Service was bleh. Food was worse. Ordered breakfast, eggs Benny. Eggs were runny, English muffin burnt, Home fries half cooked. Haven't gone back. read more

Wonder food, wonderful atmosphere. A perfect diner and served by Pat, the very sweetest lady ever. She was very attentive and I watched as she clipped a withering plant leaf between tables making sure the place looked its best. Love it! read more

This place is solid. Food is excellent, service is great, and prices are reasonable. The perfect trifecta. Worth a visit.

JJs have the best food and customer service !!! It's very clean & no matter what time of day you go, the food is amazing. I've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I love it! This is my favorite go-to spot. read more

Great service and great breakfast & lunch food! Exactly what my friends and i were looking for in AC after a long weekend. One of my friend's whom i was with recommended it and now we know why. Greeted by i think the manager who was super friendly, got to know our names when he told us the specials menu changes everyday depending on what his grandmother wants i think? Just a small gesture like that already told us this was going to be good! I ordered the turkey wrap with avo, lettuce and bacon yum. Came with a bag of chips and pickle. Standard and just what i wanted. I felt much healthier after all those buffets haha. My friends ordered deliah's, eggs benedict, lumberjack and chicken and waffles. All the egg dishes came with choices of sausage or bacon, hash browns. Hash browns weren't as crispy as i would've liked but my friends said the pancakes, french toast and eggs benedict on english muffin were fantastic. Chicken and waffles were heavy af so if you're going to eat that have your stomach ready. Drownedddd in gravy. My friend also got the rubin sandwich with not overly fried french fries. Sauce is a tad spicy my friend coughed on it but they chowed down so quick. Everything was delicious! Go to spot now for brunch when we go back to AC. read more

The one in Pleasantville, stole money from me, added like a $500 tip then my car got hit and they didn't even really help. I would never go there for so many reasons pretty much safety is one of them read more

Great for breakfast, large portions Easy to find, but difficult to get to Price is right read more

Food and service great very friendly staff. Corned beef hash homemade only complaint small portion of the hash

Nice clean breakfast spot with good service. Nothing special in regards to the food however. Average breakfast fare at above average prices.

Thanks yelpers for introducing me to another local find. Had late brunch with family, ordered breakfast items. High lights were: -good grits -good omelette (we had vegetarian) -biscuit and gravy was very good Corned beef hash was a hit -hash brown was ok, we should have ordered more grits -fluffy flavorful blueberry pancakes -French toast was ok Small place but very busy and packed. All locals, except us. Good simple honest inexpensive diner food. The owner was a hoot. He came over to us while we were waiting and joked with us about himself and everything else. At first we thought he was an crazed customer but figured out that this was JJ being himself. We had a big tummy contest, he won. His was 9 months. Method to madness, he's having a good time and giving a good show for his customers. We'll be back for sure. read more

We came here at the recommendation of a friend who has frequented their other location. Service was slow which is fine, but the waitress told us that she had asked the hostess not to seat anyone else in her section when she apologized for the delay, which I don't really think needed to be said. She didn't need to throw the hostess under the bus, a simple apology would have sufficed. That being said, the reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because my friend found a piece of metal in her food and the situation was not corrected. It's not really clear to us whether this was accidentally dropped on top of her food, or if it was mixed in, but she found this in her meal and despite us letting our waitress know, her apologizing, and apparently showing it to someone in the back after identifying it as a shard of metal from their industrial can opener, it was still on our bill when we asked for the check. She ate most of the rest of her meal since she was hungry, but I think it would have been minimum courtesy to at least strike her meal from our bill. We don't live in the area so we really don't have a reason to ever come back, but there were quite a lot of people in the diner and they otherwise have good ratings, so I hope in the future they would rectify this situation with their loyal or regular customers. read more

Pretty decent diner in the AC area. The food was filling, portions were definitely worth the price, and service was quick and friendly. The restaurant had a very homey feeling. Servers were really friendly and checked up on us often. My only complaint is the charges for add-ons. I ordered the breakfast combo (2 eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and a short stack of pancakes). I decided I wanted them with chocolate chips and bananas which ended up being $2/add-on. If I had known this, I probably would've settled with plain pancakes since this ended up being almost half the price of the meal itself. Not very worth. My boyfriend ordered the roast beef platter which was pretty filling and tasted as expected. Overall, a great little locally owned diner with reasonable prices and decent food! read more

breakfast at JJs for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. best cup of coffee i've had at a diner in a while. food was great , service was friendly, only drawback was that the food took a bit long to be served and it wasn't very busy at the time. however it was worth the wait , pancakes did not disappoint. read more

What a hidden gem right outside of Atlantic City! I was visiting for the AC iron man and got a craving for some solid diner food to help with some pre-race carb loading and found JJs on Yelp. I was not expecting to eat delicious breakfast foods in Pleasantville and was presently surprised! The Food: The Delilah: You can't go wrong with this dish. It's a little bit of everything and the French toast is to die for. My only issue with the dish was each of the foods seemed to be at various levels of heat- the French toast was colder while the breakfast potatoes were extremely hot. Of course it didn't matter since I basically inhaled the whole dish in about five minutes. Red Velvet Waffles: This was on special for the day and it was sooo good, the cream cheese sauce on top was exactly reminiscent of a cream cheese frosting on a red velvet cupcake. Pancakes: So light and fluffy. You won't go wrong with these. This place is great! The prices are extremely reasonable and the service is exceptional. I will definitely be visiting the next time I'm in AC! read more

Lovely service. Classic New Jersey diner experience. What's not to like? Got my Pork roll & eggs and met all my expectations.

A visit here is a must! I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast here on a Sunday with my best friend. We were both visiting south jersey and had this place on our list of places to visit. She ordered chicken and waffles which is a special and I had home fries, omelette and toast. We had so much leftover! Free coffee refills too! read more

Very horrible service. Manager assaulted me. Food was terrible there was hair in it and they did not care!

Best corned beef hash my wife has ever had! We came here because of the reviews, and we're so glad. The people are friendly, service is great and the food is delicious. It's too bad we don't live near here or we'd be back, often. I had eggs, bacon (well done) and fruit, standard breakfast fare, I know, and it was all good. read more

We popped in here on a Wednesday morning on our way to Ocean City. There were a good amount of people in there but no wait. We ordered pretty straightforward breakfast items.

Second trip to AC and had to check this place out again. Went on a Saturday this time. No chicken and waffle on Saturdays and I'm back to keto eating, so I went with the Italian Omelette. Still super tasty! Service still fast, even with how busy it got. I feel like this is now a tradition any time I go to Atlantic City - very reasonable price, and the food has been consistently great! read more

Went here on a Tuesday at noon and the place was packed. Its a quaint place. It's a small diner but we were seated almost immediately. The food was your traditional diner food at a diner price. It's definitely quality diner food. The service was good- our waitress refilled coffee several times and the food came out relatively fast. I say the place lives up to its 5-star rating. read more

Amazing food. Courteous and quick servers. The owner regularly is on floor checking in on tables. The baked goods are to die for! If it's a large party you might want to call ahead cause it gets packed. Steak and eggs is a must try. Also the chili for lunch will change your life! read more
