    Tuna Salad

    The V I is famous for their baked tomato soup, and it is justified, the delicious soup is like a French onion soup but with tomato, creamy with small bits of diced tomato, topped with cheese, and garlic croutons, what's not to like. Get their combo soup, and grilled cheese, pure lunchtime heaven...

    Disappointed and Discriminated - Denied Entry Due to My Service Animal I'm deeply disappointed with my recent experience at Varsity Inn. I arrived with my fully trained and clearly identified service animal, who assists me with a medical condition. Despite calmly explaining the legal rights surrounding service animals, the staff/owner refused us entry, claiming "no pets allowed." This is not only incorrect--it's a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Businesses are legally required to allow service animals that are trained to perform tasks related to a person's disability. The refusal showed a clear lack of training and understanding of the law, as well as a lack of basic compassion and respect. What makes this even more frustrating is that the restaurant has a sign right on the door that says "Service Animals Only". Clearly, they understand the law well enough to post it, but not enough to actually follow it. The hypocrisy and lack of proper staff training are extremely concerning. I had been looking forward to dining here (again as we were allowed to dine with my service dog here the year before) but instead left feeling humiliated and frustrated. I hope the owner takes this seriously and educates their staff so no one else has to go through this experience. Until then, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone--especially those in the disability community. We left and walked a few blocks over to "Hooked on Breakfast" where we were more than welcome and enjoyed an amazing breakfast.

    Tex Max Chicken Quesadilla

    Spent a nice October day on the OC boardwalk and decided to grab a meal somewhere new. Name like Varsity Inn makes it tempting to try it out. Wait staff was very nice and seated us right away. Greeted with waters and a very nice run down of the menu & specials. Inside there are plenty of seating available to make wait not long. You can people watch from the bar top seating facing the street. Plenty of different options to choose from and from the look of the dishes that were coming out of the kitchen, they all looked delicious. The breakfast options seemed to be the highlight. The quesadilla was packed with great flavor chicken, tomatoes & cheese. Crisp on the outside with sour cream dippings on the side. The tomato soup was excellent and some of the best soups I've tasted. On top is a thick layer of cheese and inside is garlic bread chunks inside the thick cream tomato soup. Grilled cheese was pretty basic white American cheese. Great combo and filling.

    Best tomato soup and believe it or not I don't even like tomato's. The five star French bread French toast is another one of my favorites.

    Aunt Helen 's Favorite & Breakfast Special #1
    Cj D.

    Went with my dad for breakfast at 8, we really enjoyed sitting outside at the big garage windows and barstools. Food came quickly and really hit the spot. My dad had Aunt Helen's Favorite omelet (has kielbasa in it!) and I had Breakfast Special #1. Pancakes were great and my dad said the breakfast potatoes were nice and crispy. Our server was quick and kind! Place was not too busy. Great breakfast spot!

    New owners running this establishment Ordered soup....never got it. When told server (owners son) we didn't get soup the comment was ...don't know what's going on in the kitchen... no apology just walked away. Asked to speak to manager (who is the owner) And as an apology gave us a soup to go. An hour later went to have the soup which he gave me with shredded cheese to put on top. There was a rancid smell and then looked at soup with cheese on top and it was all moldy Called the restaurant and owner was rude and unapologetic

Don't be deceived, mini means single meat patty , it's a standard size sandwich. We also split medium fries. The burger was great, fresh tasty bun, plenty of provolone cheese lettuce and tomato. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. The fries were skinny, crisp like we like them. You order on a computer screen similar to Wawa. There are two screens close to each other. Was a bit awkward with the couple ordering next to us and it took a bit to understand the flow of information. You also pay via the screen which is very easy. Very little to no human contact. A person behind the counter did greet us and I guess could have been asked questions if needed. If the place was busy the self ordering could be a problem. We ate in, the place is kind of shabby but appeared clean. I cleaned our table with some spray I found on a back counter. I didn't see anyone cleaning tables. One minor annoyance, the napkins are single ply and do not hold up well to the clean up from eating g a pretty messy juicy burger. We must have used 20 napkins, a good two ply napkin would have been preferred. We will definitely be back the next time we have a burger craving.

    Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall continues to be a favorite spot in Atlantic City's Orange Loop. Located…read morejust off the Boardwalk on Tennessee Avenue, it perfectly captures the laid-back beach-town vibe that makes this neighborhood so special. Great for a solo diner or a group or family. I stopped in for dinner around 6:15 PM and, as always, the atmosphere was welcoming. There's indoor seating, a full bar, and a fantastic outdoor space complete with games, a fire pit, and one of the best music playlists in town--often accompanied by live entertainment. It's the kind of place where locals and visitors naturally mix together, creating a fun and friendly energy. One thing that always makes me smile is the sign when you walk in explaining that the bartenders and servers may be outside and asking guests to let them know they've arrived. Honestly, who could blame them? With the fresh salt air coming off the Atlantic Ocean and the outdoor atmosphere they've created, it's exactly where I'd want to be too. Tonight I ordered the crab cake platter, served with garlic French fries and coleslaw. The crab cakes were very good, packed with flavor, and the fries were crispy, garlicky, and absolutely delicious. A simple meal done right. Everything was fresh and appealing, I eat small portions so I took one crab cake and some fries home with me. I did ask about dessert, nothing was available, I don't do sweets frequently, I'm surprised they don't request Momma Chocolate, at Bar32 to make some extras for days they are closed. My server, Bella, was upbeat, bubbly, and attentive throughout the evening, adding to an already enjoyable experience. Parking is easy, with both free and paid options nearby, plus curbside access. Whether you're a local looking for a regular hangout or a visitor exploring beyond the casinos, Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is well worth the short walk from the Boardwalk. Highly recommended for good food, cold drinks, great music, and some of the best local vibes in Atlantic City.

It was not exactly quiet as the TVs and music were at a volume that would allow for conversation but you still needed to concentrate to hear the responses.

The olive spread on both sides as expected with the addition of hot capicola to the mortadella, etc. I went with a root beer since I was driving. And then I headed over to Bar 32 for dessert beignets and a just made for me and for the first time, non-alcoholic grasshopper. They hit it outta the park! I saved my other half of the sandwich for after Ash Wednesday. It was even better. But, alas, no photo. You'll have to catch it next year. This '26 Mardi Gras was delish!
