Oh how I love a classic whole in the wall spot and Maria's fits the bill. I see the reviews and with 4 stars I knew I had to give them a shot for breakfast. We arrived a little after 10 and this place was packed. If you have to wait, you have to wait outside which is a bummer as it was cold but luckily they have a parking lot on the side. The parking lot fits about 8 cars and is tiny but it's better than nothing. We didn't have to wait long. They have a small bar area as well about 20 tables throughout the establishment. They have one of the cleanest old bathrooms I've ever been in. Our waitress was really nice and was quick to take our orders. I ordered the French toast platter which came with eggs, home fries and bacon for me. The eggs were real eggs which was a plus. The bacon was good as well. The potatoes needed some seasoning, as well as salt and pepper. They were lacking big time. Overall my meal was good. The French toast could have been bigger but for the price I get it. My wife ordered the Banana Foster French Toast which comes with a lot of bananas. Overall she liked it though. My daughter had the Meatlovers sandwich on a croissant. This sandwich was gone in less than 5 mins. She shared th same sentiments on the potatoes. Ketchup, salt and pepper are a MUST. Overall we had a good time and this will be a go to for breakfast over the expensive hotel casinos. read more

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. read more

Great in and out spot close to the Casinos when you're in a rush for breakfast. Small, good prices, quick. Sit at the "bar" old school diner style or grab a small table. Definitely be back next time I'm coming through AC. It is small so ventilation isn't the best. The kitchen is right behind the counter. So you'll hear your food sizzle and smell it as it's being made. read more

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 read more

Maria's Luncheonette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

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! read more

I am on a ketogenic diet, so I needed a good breakfast that would fit my needs. I fortunately found Maria's Luncheonette, a charming little cafe just an 8 minute walk from my hotel. I found the prices to be much more reasonable than those of the hotel with a menu of just good food and friendly service with warm welcome. Two mornings in a row I had an omelette prepared just perfectly and it was a delicious way to start my day! In fact, the second morning, they remembered I could enjoy the home fries that came with the omelette. I'm quite sure the carbs on the menu would have been delicious as well! The next time I'm in Atlantic City, I'll be visiting Maria's again! read more

Overpriced!!!! Gourmet prices for a plain breakfast and lunch luncheonette! There's no much else to say except that the program here needs me to say more. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Nothing special - certainly nothing worth waiting outside on Atlantic Avenue for... good homestyle breakfast food, but no 'must have' menu item that you'll return for time and again. Service was good, ambiance nothing to speak of - but if you crave eggs and bacon, the prices certainly are cheaper than the casinos - unless you have comps, that is. read more

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

Maria's Luncheonette - Maria's window. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

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. read more

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. read more

Service is very friendly here and employees are great. However, the food wasn't very good. My omelet tasted very bland and lacked flavor. The toast that came with it was very soggy. They also didn't have any sweeteners for the coffee, just plain sugar. I will not return. Not recommended. read more

Dear reader, this is the type of establishment where you have to bring your check to the cash register when you're ready to leave. They don't make that clear when they give you the check. That's why I'm telling you now. Very busy place for brunch! Our table really enjoyed the waffles and the scrapple as well as the pork roll and complete breakfast. The pancakes in the complete breakfast were surprisingly amazing. The blueberries were juicy and big on the waffle and it was a delight to have dined here! read more

Saw the crowds one day in AC and looking to eat off the property we were staying at. Luckily didn't have to wait too long for a table to have brunch. The menu sounded promising with a variety of dishes. While the portions were fair, we did find it underwhelming for the cost. Probably still saved money while having a fair meal off property. They offer the classics, eggs, steak, sausage, bacon, home fries, fries, etc. Pay attention to where you park as it could be a bit misleading which lot was for their patrons. Limited spots available and limited street parking. read more

Food was amazing! Served quick and was fresh and hot. Customer service was exceptional!

We had breakfast at Maria's Luncheonette in AC Tuesday August 12th and I've eaten there before and the food as usual was good!! The people are very nice and accommodating! Even with renovations happening they were still crowded and helpful! Good food! Thanks! read more

Great local place in AC for breakfast. Had the short stack. Excellent coffee to boot. Good service! #Endorsed

Worth the wait. Food was fresh and tasty. Service was ok. They were packed so the service was the best it could be.

Sadly, I don't remember much about the atmosphere of this restaurant. I know our server was nice and I really enjoyed my pancakes. I prefer to use honey on my pancakes and they did provide me with some. Now, the scrambled eggs...... Not sure about what anyone else do, but I'm from the South, and we scramble the cheese into the eggs instead of dropping a slice on top. It does make a difference in taste. They were generous with the amount protein given. The bacon wasn't extra crispy, just how I like it. I'm not sure about the sausage as I gave it to my friend. Oh, the hot chocolate was served right. Plenty of whipped cream on top to thicken it up for me. read more

Great place for breakfast off the boardwalk and within walking distance of main strip

Small little diner that serves breakfast like foods. It's a little bit of a hole in the wall, but the service is good and food comes out fast. I had a simple croissant bacon egg and cheese, the cost was about $6-7 bucks which is really fair considering the times. Perfect place to grab a quick bite without breaking the bank. read more

WARNING: be aware of hidden costs. The waiter had asked if we would be okay with peppers and onions on our home fries, to which we said yes. Come to find out, they charged us extra for peppers and onions on the home fries without telling us. The way she framed the question made it sound like it was a default ingredient in the home fries. She didn't tell us it'd be an extra cost. So ridiculous, home fries are usually made with onions and peppers, who charges extra for that... read more
