Not bad, not good. After tax and tip, a complete breakfast is roughly $23. Service is fast though, and there's parking on the left lot. Nothing remarkable about a spot like this, but at least the floor is fairly high for a brunch spot.

When I'm visiting AC I always come to this spot for breakfast! It's a nice and easy going place. Staff is friendly and attentive. And the food is terrific! Prices are pocket friendly as well. This time around I had the French toast with scrambled eggs and a side of strawberries! French toast was old fashioned which I like. They tasted delicious. Not soggy and cooked perfectly. Eggs were cooked perfectly as well, nice and fluffy. Not all burnt.. My friend had the Spanish omelette and they enjoyed it. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back next time. So if you're looking for a good and affordable place for breakfast this is the spot! You can thank me later! Have a great one ya'll! - Ray

This place is mediocre and priced okay. I'm Not sure what's the great deal about this place. The wait is long and the place is not the most sanitary either

French Toast

This is our second trip as we were here last time between Christmas and New Years. This is an Atlantic City hidden gem with wonderful food and service. I had a bacon omelette with home fries and toast. The omelette was chock full of bacon and cheese overflow the eggs. This was perfectly cooked and was simply great. My wife had French Toast and scrambled eggs. Both were cooked great and she really enjoyed them. The others at the table had an omelette, and eggs and corned beef hash. The corned beef was cooked perfectly and everyone at the table was impressed with their food. The is a quaint little place with a constant flow of people in and out. The service is quick and servers were very attentive with details of simple things like refilling coffee. And that's a key item for this coffee lover There were just a few meals over $12 and plenty of options for all. Save your money and hit this gem hard!

Nice selection of hot sauces on the counter!

While staying in AC, I came here for breakfast one morning. The place was packed and the service was great! I was able to score a table without a wait. There was lots of carry-out business going on during my stay. The food is typical diner fare for breakfast. The prices were really nice. The venue is typical (for a "row house" type diner) and spacious. They have lots of hot sauce options!! I tried a side dish of their corned beef hash (which is the typical "Hormel" style) done extra crispy and it came out perfect! Next up was the plain bagel with egg, cheese, & beef sausage breakfast sandwich, which was excellent and very fresh & tasty!!! Like I mentioned, service was great too... she kept an eye on my needs and they topped off coffee as needed. I can see why the reviews are so good... this place is definitely worth visiting!

Sandwiches were delicious, Croissants were cooked with love Service was amazing and the waitress was friendly. Loud and crowded place but definitely chill vibes.

Corned beef hash, over easy eggs, French toast, sausage, links, and home fries

First time passing through, cute atmosphere, polite, friendly service, and food came out very fast. Sadly, the flavor and seasoning level of their basics ranged from mid to low, but their bananas foster was tasty and one of the few items worth their money besides the orange juice and a corned beef hash, which came at a good portion size. Do not get the Homefries 2/10 Completely unseasoned and tastes strongly of the water it seems they boil them all the way through with b4 frying them slightly. Tried adding salt and pepper but did not improve flavor French toast 4/10 bland on their own like there's no sugar in the dredge, Small portion size Bananas foster 8/10 Highly recommend Pancakes 6/10 Taste like box pancakes, normal Sausage links 6/10 Small portion, unseasoned, but OK Everything else in photos ok

The server was friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. But equally important was the food. Very tasty and good servings. Thank you Maria!

French Toast Deluxe Platter, Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich & Corned Beef Hash

Sandwiched between Pho Sydney and White House Subs is Maria's Luncheonette. Stepping foot inside, you hear the latest pop music playing. We naturally picked a table towards the back because most of the tables in the front appeared to be occupied. The breakfast menu is basic, kind of like a mini iHop. Service was wonderful, friendly staff and very attentive to our needs. Ketchup, butter, jams, salts are all on the table. However, the food was meh. I got the French toast deluxe platter. The toast was the best part, add a little butter. The bacon wasn't super crispy, just a bit. Unfortunately, I felt the hash browns were very dry and lacked flavor. Even if you add ketchup to the hash browns, it still didn't make up for the bland flavor. Not crispy either.

I had the breakfast platter. Wife ate my pancake. It is small place and very friendly. It. Looks like it was family run. I like the bacon as it was thick. Pancakes were good. Wife ate the home fries and they were pretty good. If you want a small cozy place this it it. Service was great. Parking was only a few spot next to the building and paid street parking. Road is semi busy.

BLT.  Look at the size of it

This place is amazing. The people who work there first class. Such respectful people. The food is amazing and affordable. The best packages I have ever ate. I went and picked up breakfast to go. Amazing.

Short stack of French toast with strawberries

Best thing I ate in AC. Went here for breakfast. Nice luncheonette with everything you need on a breakfast menu. The French toast and omelet were great. Reasonably priced and nice service people.

What's not to LOVE about Gilchrist? The food is delicious and the staff is out of this world. Not…read moreonly are they friendly, they're so upbeat with the amount of customers coming into the restaurant. With all this foot traffic, I personally don't know if I could be so cheery. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here and the pancakes are OUT OF THIS WORLD!! I don't know what they put in them but they're the best I've ever had and I've been told I'm a pancake snob ... lol. Wishing Gilchrist continued success!!

Wish there were more stars! This place is terrific. It's inside the Trop, but also has an entrance…read moreoff of the street. There's a counter, booths, and tables. We sat at the counter. It was super busy. Host was great at getting everyone seated. Very well oiled machine. Didn't wait long even with the crowd. Okay - let's chat about service. Not sure who trained this staff but they need to create their own course in customer service. Every single person who worked there, regardless of their actual position was helping all customers. Seriously... never waited for anything and constantly asked if we needed anything. Such a treat! You can tell that they pour their hearts into this! Just a lovely experience. Now, the food! Welp, this is it. The pancakes are wonderful and thin. You can get them stuffed with various things. Just the perfect crunch and taste. No battery thick middle! Get these! Also got eggs, fried bologna (highly recommend), scrapple, and delicious Turkey sausage. There wasn't one thing that wasn't good. No notes. The coffee is superior as well. Even asked for a cup to go. Just delicious. This place is a whole package. Go out of your way to get here!! You will NOT be disappointed!!! The prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality and quantity. Would go again and again and again!!!

We finally tried the Borgata Buffet and honestly I do not understand some of the bad reviews…read more Yes it is a casino buffet so the price is higher at around 43 per person, but there are definitely ways to get it comped or discounted, and for the quality you are getting it actually feels worth it. The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata.

A pretty solid buffet considering there aren't many buffet options in the area!…read more Sushi - dry and tasted fake Seafood - all of their fishes were the highlight of the offerings! The carving station had a salmon larger than I've ever seen too. Also appreciate that they offer a spiced version of the cocktail shrimp. Meats - prime rib was very dry and overcooked but the grilled steak has really great taste Everything else is pretty standard for a buffet. Huge compliments on all of the sauces they offer to go along with your food (steak sauce, au jus, melted butter, etc.).

Perry's Cafe & Deli is a family-run diner located on Pacific Ave. They are open every day from 7AM…read more- 3PM. After looking over the menu, I found myself torn between breakfast and lunch. There were so many tempting options to choose from! I went with the 7 oz sirloin steak and eggs. It was decent, but nothing special. The steak was cooked medium instead of medium rare, and it lacked seasoning. My friend ordered the hot jumbo biscuit with homemade sausage gravy and the pastrami Reuben, both excellent picks. The gravy was some of the best I've had, and the pastrami on the Reuben was tender and full of flavor. Our server may not have been the most personable, but she was prompt and made sure we were well taken care of. Pickup and delivery are both available.

The menu is like your typical American diner, nothing crazy. Even though it was busy it seemed like the service was on the slower side. I got a sausage breakfast sandwich and my girlfriend got steak and eggs. Both of our entrees came with home fries. My sandwich was good; I feel like it's hard to mess up a standard breakfast sandwich. My girlfriend said her steak and eggs were decent too. The steak was a little overcooked but still seasoned well. I was not really a fan of their home fries and neither was my girlfriend. They were pretty dried out and not that flavorful. Prices are average. Food is average. I wouldn't say the place is dirty, but it didn't seem particularly clean. The decor and furnishing definitely looks dated. Nothing really wowed me, but it was good. I wouldn't mind going back.
