    Shrimply the best ... awesome omelette with shrimp, crab, avocado, cheddar, cilantro and side of hash browns  and toast
    Beth K.

    I was sold on either the lemon ricotta pancakes or banana foster French toast but saw a creative special " From the Sea" and I was sold . Omelette-ting the good times roll one shrimp at a time ! Yes , I think I could be a pescatarian. The omelette was filled with shrimp, cheddar cheese and cilantro with toppings of crab meat, avocado, and hollandaise drizzle. The sides were hash browns and toast ! The diner style hash browns were shredded and crispy. Best breakfast on the Island . Enough food for two days ! Holy shrimp ! The omelette is amazing .

    I had a good breakfast here. I liked the biscuits and gravy. The service was good and I liked being able to look out at the beach while eating. The restaurant had a casual vibe.

    Cheesesteak eggs Benedict
    Kristin A.

    Had breakfast here twice while in Brigantine for vacation. Was an easy walk from my rental but finding street parking nearby didn't seem to be an issue. It's a quaint beach spot. The indoor dining room was bigger inside than I expected. We ate once outside and once inside. The service outside was much slower. When our food came out, we had to wait for utensils. Then I had to wait again for syrup. No sense of urgency. Indoors we had no issue since more attentive people passing by walking around. For food, I loved the Lemon ricotta pancakes. The seawall scramble was nothing special and the hash browns were average. The breakfast quesadilla was tasty and Philly cheesesteak eggs Benedict also average.

    My last trip to NJ lead me to be of my favorite spots down the shore. The menu at Pirate's Den strikes a good balance between seafood staples and classic American bar food. Whether you're in the mood for a fresh lobster roll, a hearty crab cake sandwich, or a simple burger, there's something for everyone. The staff at Pirate's Den are friendly and attentive. While it can get busy, especially during peak summer months, the service remains efficient and the staff seem genuinely happy to accommodate guests. The prices are reasonable for a shore-town restaurant, especially considering the quality of the food and the location. You can enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank, making it a great option for casual dining in Brigantine. Pirate's Den is a solid choice for anyone looking for a relaxed meal with great seafood in Brigantine. While it's not trying to be anything fancy, it delivers on flavor, hospitality, and a fun atmosphere. Whether you're visiting the beach or a local, it's worth stopping by for a casual bite.

    Diabolical turkey

    A pregnant woman's nightmare, Beware!!! Cold sweats and throwing up for days..... The Curse of Pirates Den, Brigantine At Pirates Den in Brigantine, we dared to dine, And what we found should never meet a spine. A turkey foul, a raw chicken snare, A pregnant girl trapped in culinary despair. Her brother and I, the diarrhea twins, Cursed by the kitchen's unholy sins. They served her raw meat, eyes wide with fear, She heaved in the bushes, a rock her veneer. The walls would shiver, the boardwalk weep, If only these horrors weren't ours to keep. Brigantine's Pirates Den, a legend of shame, Where every meal's a grotesque game. Oh, Pirates Den, take note--this tale we tell, Of nausea, disgust, and a rock-bound farewell. No plate, no dish, no chef survives, Your food's a terror that haunts our lives.

    Great breakfast! We went for breakfast this morning and had some pancakes with apples, french toast bananas foster and eggs Benedict over croissants. Everything was delicious and service was fast and friendly. But get there early because when we left at 10:00 there were filks waiting to get a table.

    Lemon Ricotta pancakes
    Gabrielle A.

    We've been staying in Brigantine for about 8 years now and we finally tried the Pirate's Den! Apparently they're under new ownership - the restaurant is so cute on the inside, and the food was excellent! Service was also wonderful. We will be back to try lunch and dinner, too! **Highly recommend the pancakes! (ours were Lemon Ricotta)

    This is a great place to eat. Friendly faces - got sat quickly and had a drink on the table quickly. Waitress could not have been more friendly! Food came quick and was delicious. A little pricey, but it's a tourist destination. My only complaint is the waitress never came back after she dropped the food. I had to flag someone down for drink refills. Other than that, an overall pleasurable experience. If you're in Brigantine, check them out.

    Patio, enjoy ocean breezes while you eat
    Steve H.

    A great breakfast spot where are you can sit outside and enjoy the ocean breezes and really appreciate the surroundings! Our group enjoyed the vegetable eggs Benedict, the seawall scramble and the western omelette today. Prices are good and the food quality is excellent. I would recommend getting here before 10 on weekdays and 9 on weekends, as the patio tends to fill up quickly. They serve lunch and dinner too!

    Got recommended this place and it did NOT disappoint! Service was excellent, Carrie was perfect! I like the spot and how it's right next to the ocean. The coffee was great, I got the churro pancakes a side of bacon. There was a good amount of bacon and it was crispy, the pancakes had a lottt of cinnamon, next time i would go for something simpler. Portion size was perfect, definitely bang for your buck. The bathroom was very nice and clean as well.

    Pumpkin Pancake
    Dolores A.

    Great breakfast experience with Lori as our waitress. Mike provided excellent service keeping us with fresh coffee & water refills. The entire staff was delightfully friendly & welcoming! Our food was fresh and delivered quickly. We enjoyed the meat omelette which was loaded and left our Mike with plenty to take home. Herlyn loved her chipped beef and said it was then"best" she's had! It was delicious, I must say as it was not thick & heavy and quite flavorful. My breakfast of boiled eggs, canadian bacon(3 pieces of juiciness) & perfectly cooked potatoes was very good. Since it is pumpkin season, I had to give their pumpkin pancake a try. Although tasty, I do prefer a more fluffier lighter pancake though. We will enjoy the Pirates Den again for sure!

    Would give 5 stars but they should inform customers it's Tues Senior day when taking their order.

I ordered a sauteed flounder fish platter which came with simple mixed vegetables and coleslaw. The fish was so moist and tender and swimming in a mildly seasoned lovely broth. The veggies were seasoned and buttery, simple and delicious . The cole slaw was homemade but unremarkable. $8.99 for this healthy meal. Sign me up! Spouse ordered the soft flour shell, fried shrimp tacos and boy were they huge! He asked for the slaw on the side so it wouldn't make the tacos soggy, and got two full-sized side orders of coleslaw with his two tacos. For $5 each. No frills just good food.

No worries, I used the ranch from the wings and all was good. I liked the shaved Parmesan and the fact that someone took the time to slice the tiny grape tomatoes, precious. Wings were crunchy and spicy in all the right places. The Squire Burger had huge pieces of maple bacon sticking out from two patties cheese and iceberg. The fries were perfect. The bun was fluffy and glistening on top. Beautiful. We were surprised at the small bill, but left very satisfied. Highly recommend!

    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.

    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.
