Had breakfast the other day and I was shocked at the bill way to high for one meal. Don't recommend ever.

This place was very nice; a typical New Jersey diner. Ive been living in upper township for the past three years and I can't believe I just went here couple weeks ago. Service was great and food was good. Price was also reasonable. Apparently this place gets packed up during the summer so yep read more

Great small family owned business. I've never had a bad meal! Breakfast and lunch menus include the usual staples and interesting specials daily. It's just quality food, reasonably priced served by a friend staff. It's the place locals want to keep all to ourselves. read more

No matter what you order (breakfast) is better than any other place you've ever eaten. It's cozy and comfy in there too.

Fast and Friendly service with delicious food! Daily unique specials. Homemade soups. Very busy during "typical lunch hours". Take out is available. I have been going to the Village Kitchen for generations! A family owned and operated restaurant! read more

We make a trip to The Village Kitchen every year--both on our way to Cape May, NJ and on the way back--and it never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding, and the service is just as excellent. This cozy spot is a hidden gem for breakfast and lunch. The chipped beef, in particular, is absolutely outstanding--easily one of the best we've had. Highly recommended! read more

Lunch was chicken rice soup which was excellent and ended up getting a quart to go. Turkey special that I got grilled was delicious. Turkey was a little dry but overall a good option. Wife had tuna salad sandwich 1/2. She liked it. Service was friendly and good as usual read more

Best breakfast down the shore!! Farmers Omelet was super flavorful and delicious, just make sure to have cash they're cash only!

First time I've dined here, but the rest of my party has been here several times for breakfast. It is cash only. The food was delicious, the coffee was tasty, and the service was over the top wonderful-everyone who waited on us was friendly and knowledgeable-made sure I knew certain ingredients were in what I was ordering, asked which kind of hot sauce was preferred, came back with both regular and decaf each time they saw our cups getting lower- honestly, the food was great but the workers are the reason I will come back! read more

We stopped here on a whim on our way to our destination and we made the right choice. The portion sizes were huge, the quality matched the size too. We got a couple of cups of the creamy chicken rice soup to share and it was the best soup I've ever had. I got a breakfast bowl with chipped beef and gravy over top and that was great too. Everything on this menu is made here, no shortcuts. We did have to wait about 20 minutes to get a table, however the waitress we had was great! read more

We ate here twice in the three days we were in town. The food is fabulous, and the service was excellent. They cooked over medium eggs exactly over medium. The home fries and hash browns were both perfectly crispy. They only take cash, and they have an atm onsite. read more

Great local place! Good food, great service. Felt like we were part of the gang! A little off the beaten path, but so worth it.

Very good lunch. I had the Turkey envelope. It's like a wrap but toasted which is so tasty!! They offer 3-4 homemade soups every day. A good choice. I will definitely be back read more

Went for a breakfast before participating in the can-can sale, ate the best creamed chip beef in my life.

Incredibly nice service staff here and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. I highly suggest the pancakes with fresh jersey blueberries.

The Ambience, Food, Service from the younger waitresses was excellent. The season waitress behavior was with a questionable undertones. The food was delicious. read more

Great small spot ... good shore find off shore and tucked away enough to be a diamond in the ruff. We wanted a basic breakfast not stuffy and good. We found what we were looking for . All meals were good, homemade, hot , and tasted great. I recommend . There were tables outside which made this a perfect choice . Service was on point and prompt. Remember it's cash only ... but they have an ATM if you forget . read more

Village Kitchen - Scrambled eggs, pork roll and home fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marmora, New Jersey

When I first saw this place, it didn't look like a hole in the wall to me. It looks like a small cafe, cheerful & inviting. I've been there a few times & the food was consistently great. I always ordered the Eggs Benedict as many places don't serve it. Try this place, I doubt you will be disappointed. read more

We are seniors, Philly foodies, and new to living seasonally here all year round. And I'm a retired chef. The cafe style, all day breakfast/lunch menu is varied, the food was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the service friendly and efficient. I had the (really) grilled (really fresh) chicken (breast meat) Caesar sandwich and my husband the burger Florentine. He asked for medium rare. It wasn't, but it was pink. We shared the tasty, crunchy sweet potato fries and finished them off. I had lemonade w/o corn syrup and they kindly checked the label for me to make sure it was. We'll be back. Often. read more

Not from the area so when I did a Google search, this came up as one of the better options so I figured I would give it a try. As soon as I exited my car, the first sign that I seen multiple times on the windows of the business was that it's cash only. Now they do have a ATM machine inside so they can capitalize but fortunately I did have a couple dollars in my car and I was able to go inside. Upon entering there were two ladies, one greeted me and I chose to sit at the counter because I had limited time and I wanted to Get in and out as fast as possible. When I sat down, I asked one of the girls (the one that just stared at me and did not greet me) for menu and she told me to give her a minute. I didn't understand why because the menus were right next to her, but I guess she wanted to finish what she was doing which was totaling the check For another table. A little awkward but regardless, I waited a couple minutes and finally got a menu. Luckily for me, she was not the waitress that was going to be serving me. A couple minutes later the other girl came out of the kitchen and took my order. She recommended the hashbrowns, which were very good. I ordered eggs, toast, and scrapple. To my surprise, the scrapple was fried very well and was probably one of the thinnest pieces of scrapple I've ever seen in my life. Kind of makes sense because the breakfast was 995 so it's a special but I'm assuming it's a smaller piece than you would normally get if you ordered à la carte but again I can't verify this 100% since it was my first time. Overall, the place is very nice and clean. One out of the two waitresses was very pleasant. One of my biggest pet peeves is when you go into any establishment and you can hear the staff complaining and it just doesn't make any sense to me because there's customers that are listening. The same customers that you could be waiting on showing off your customer service skills and actually earning tips. Upon leaving, I seen another sign which was that an automatic gratuity of 15% would be added to take out orders over $50. That is something I just will not ever understand. So you have people that actually want to enjoy your food, but maybe they necessarily don't like your service or they don't like to be out in public. Why are you charging them to bring you revenue? Regardless, even if I'm back in the area, I most likely will not go back here read more

These people are like family, and the food is always delicious. Their soups are so creative and flavorful. Yesterday my daughter had Clams Casino soup, while I was in heaven eating the Creamy French Onion. Great people, great food!!! Eileen Ward and Rachel Slaughter read more

Discovered this breakfast and lunch spot on the way to the beach . It is even better than my wife and I imagined. Can see why so many great reviews. Corned beef special was fantastic, cute place with some outdoor seating. But the warm, friendly service from everyone there was hugely appreciated. Can't wait to return! read more

This place is probably my favorite breakfast place at the shore. It's near the bridge to OCNJ and is tucked away in a shopping center near Shoprite. Let me start by saying, the breakfast was all cooked to perfection and is homemade. I got the pancake, and a two egg, corned beef hash, and Texas style toast platter. The eggs were perfectly cooked "dippy style" and the Texas toast In them was divine. The corned beef hash is homemade. It's BETTER than the traditional canned kind most diners sell. It's actually BETTER! Get it, you won't be disappointed. The pancake was PERFECTION. It absorbed the syrup perfectly and still tasted cooked with the slight crisp. My server (I didn't catch her name but she had clear framed glasses and short hair) was super sweet and very attentive. The ONLY reason this didn't get a 5* review is because it's cash only. We are in 2021 people.. take cards/venmo/PayPal/any digital currency. Again, take cards and it bumps to a 5*.. otherwise food and service and cleanliness is OUTSTANDING. I'll be back many times. read more

Love the food and service here. Atmosphere is clean & quaint. Only downside is Cash Only

Don't go here!!! This was our first and last time here. Today, my wife and I ordered breakfast and were told that there was no charge to substitute tomatoes for home fries. When we got the check, we were charged extra for the tomatoes. Waitress and manager repeatedly told us we were lying and made a scene for several minutes at the register over $1.50 (on a bill of $30.00). Definitely not going back for more abuse!!! read more

Great soups, breakfast and lunch. Servers are the best! I highly recommend. If there is a waitlist, don't leave, it goes fast and it's well worth it. read more

Was at the beach this weekend and took a 15 min drive from Sea Isle to this place. It was worth it. Had a wonderful breakfast and will defiantly be returning to. Actually, our relatives went there today based on our recommendation! Keep up the great work and we will see you the next time we are down! read more

What a great place! We went on a Wednesday morning. Great parking, clean, homey and friendly breakfast place. The servers are all smiles, greeted us immediately and seated us. Hot, fresh coffee was quickly served. The menu is not overwhelming, easy to see that all items are fresh and made to order. My wife is a creamed dried beef fanatic and she said it is the best she has ever had. I had the Jersey Devil omelet and it was spectacular! We definitely have a new "Go-To" spot for breakfast in Ocean City. The service is OUTSTANDING! The Village Kitchen is probably 8 minutes, max, from 34th and West. read more

This place was great! I loved their grilled sticky bun, I have never had one before and it was 100% worth it. It one less culinary regret I would have if I died. I had the chipped beef with country toast and it was delicious. There wasn't a single scrap left on my plate. After eating their chipped beef I feel like I need more of it in my life. The service here was pretty good. the waitress was nice and we were seated pretty promptly especially considering we came at a pretty busy time. read more
