50 Best American Restaurants near Absecon

“We've been going to the Phoenix for decades. we've gotten to know the staff and owner. Good service and fresh, hot, delicious comfort food.“

“bad experience at Vicks yesterday. The cheesesteak looked nothing like the pictures on their site. The meat was not flavorful. not chopped up enough. The cheese was just laid on top of the cheesesteak and came off when I took off the paper. they forgot my mushrooms and they didn't even cut it in half. I'm really surprised that the reviews are so high. I even paid the money for the extra meat?“

“Came by here two days in a row and the food was exceptional each time. Had the bacon cheeseburger and wife had the beer battered fish and chips. She loved it and my burger was cooked perfectly. Kaitlyn was our server and was very attentive and oh so nice. She answered questions we had and was very efficient. She is a great asset to your restaurant and the place was very clean and had a great atmosphere. Hang Time does a super job and very inviting“

“Awesome bagels abs great staff!“

“The ryans provided amazing service to me and my friend. We had just finished playing a round of golf at vineyard national and it was incredibly beautiful. The food that came out of the kitchen was even more beautiful. Katie also helped us decide what to order. Bella was very accommodating to our every need. One of my best restaurant experiences in the past couple years.“

“The service and food were excellent. I ordered the daily special cioppino fra diavolo and the flavor and spice were perfect. My wife ordered the chopped salad with salmon on top. Also, excellent. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff surprised us with a wonderful desert and candle.“

“I just love everything about this place.“

“Great food from appetizers through dessert. Cocktails yummy , service outstanding.“

“Good food and service! Beautiful view“

“Service With a Smile! My husband and I dined today at Molly’s. We enjoyed everything we ordered. I had the California Burger on their famous homemade Buns with delicious crispy Onion Rings. My husband enjoyed the Rueben with Fries. Perfect amount of sauce on his sandwich. Planning on returning when we’re in the area again!“

“My wife & I had a fantastic dinner tonight. She had the chicken I had the ribs. Fairly priced a perfectly served. A must try. We eat so fast sorry no pictures.“

“Steve and Cookies is our go-to for special occasions! We just had my husband’s 40th birthday dinner and it was delicious as always with a kind and efficient waitstaff. Will always recommend!“

“Last night we dined here and everything was excellent, from the service to the food, only thing we didn’t care for and was disappointed in was the crème brûlée, it’s not your typical traditional crème brûlée but everything else was wonderful. Will be back for sure!“

“Great breakfast menu with wraps, meals, and specials. Everything we ordered was delicious and large portuons. Wish they had more bagel options on the menu. Pickup or dine in, and there's plenty of parking in the lot. Very friendly service and my order was ready within 20 minutes.“

“The meal was delish. Everyone was super nice and wished me a happy birthday. We got to try the main things and here's what I recommend: wagyu meatballs were fantastic (nice acidity, good mix of flavors, cheese complimented the savory aspect), beef Wellington (it melted in my mouth and I dont normally like the taste of mushrooms however I didnt mind it at all), sticky toffee pudding (I'm diabetic and had to remind myself to stop eating after 3 bites - it wasnt too sweet, nor sticky but perfect blend and fulfilling)“

“Whole wheat pancakes are so good!“

“Ate there today for the first time. Lunch was delicious and the coffee was great. Definitely will be going back.“

“A great place to go at the Jersey shore. The staff and customer service is excellent not to mention the food. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“always good food and friendly staff“

“Food is great ! The people are all Nice and accommodating . Will be here when we have time 👍🏻“

“First of all, we love ALL of our customers and I can tell you that we serve a variety of ethnicities. I can also tell you that our chefs cannot hear a thing back in our kitchen, so if you did say something, I can guarantee he didn’t hear you. But to put a bad review without even knowing the circumstances and trying to give us a bad name is irresponsible and immature. Maybe next time you can stop and ask instead of ASSUMING. Have the day you deserve ?“

“The BEST cheesesteak omelet around. We go there every time we're in AC. The staff is very friendly“

“We come in often for bite eat and we’re local my husband has commented numerous times how dirty bathroom are but shame because everything else is nice.“

“Hello Do you come to this golf course often now? I've recently been looking for a new course to play near me, I tried to add you as my friend but fb refused me to do so, could you please add me as your friend thank you！lolw“

“This is a steady spot in our rotation of places to go. I have read several reviews about slow service and have to agree that I have found this to be an issue at times, but it isn’t a dealbreaker. A lot of places are short staffed right now and I find that service is slower overall in the area due to this. Last night it took quite some time for our server to come to the table because they appeared to be short staffed, but when she did she apologized and explained that she has been busy. I have industry experience and understood, so we moved on from it. From that point on she was AMAZING!! Ariana is an absolute gem. She was attentive and friendly the entire evening. We were there until closing getting to know her and she made sure everything was great the whole night.
The drinks are delicious. The food is great. I have been there for lunch and breakfast and definitely recommend giving it a chance. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday they have mimosas with $1 refills!! Food recommendations: maple Pork chop, goat cheese artichoke chicken, any pizza, eggs Benedict.
As far as the bad reviews…. A little grace goes a long way. We are all just out here doing the best we can.“

“We ate there last night. It is an upscale restaurant with white table clothes. You should eat on the patio facing the marina. Two of our dishes were very good- the flounder and the lobster ravioli. They had Slacktide Pale Ale on draft, which is great. You need reservations here, even during the week (in-season.)“

“Went for an early dinner with friends. We were greeted and seated quickly, had a tough time deciding from all the yummy possibilities. One of our party had the tuna wrap, one had the falafel salad, one had grilled cheese, and I had “The Stu”. We were all very pleased with our choices and the service. We will definitely be back again!“

“Chef Niko is always creating something new that we have never had before. His ability to combine flavors in his dishes is second to none!“

“American Bar & Grille NEVER disappoints. We come here every single time we stay at the Borgata. The ambiance and decor are warm and inviting and the seating is such that you don't feel crowded, even when the restaurant is packed. The servers and their teams always provide exceptional service and food & beverages delivered very promptly. This visit on 7/26 we were a party of 5 and had exceptional service from Vincente who took excellent care of us. The chef is amazing and we have enjoyed everything we've ever ordered since this restaurant opened. Menu changes a bit with the season and the summer menu is great. We started with Jersey Corn soup--to die for and the Berkshire Farm pork ribs ,which comes with cornbread is always a must-have app. Entree highlights this visit were the Branzino special, swordfish over a bed of jambalaya and the grilled pork chop. The trio of sides is a great economical option and allows for sharing as the portions are generous. Definitely recommend to make a reservation, which is very easy via the MGM app. Had we paid full price it would have worked out to be $60+ per person but use Borgata comps if you have them. Highly recommend.“

“great drinks“

“Great spot in the Fall to watch the Eagles Games outside!!“

“Sat at the bar with Christina what an asset to your restaurant!Very pleasant and personable.our dinner was delicious!“

“I tried this morning the breakfast. I had a perfect service from Maria. Very professional and always in good mood. The food I will classify 4 out of 5. The restaurant is absolutely clean and fresh. Dont even smell like a restaurant. It's really hard to find a place like this to eat and have a great time. Will be back.“

“Nikki the bartender was amazing!!! Always on top of our drinks and food. I worked for a retail and restaurant environment and for her to be able to take care the bar and the rest of the restaurant drinks in a busy night, I will said I was impressed with her performance. Manager was great to as well being on top of customers and help the stuff. I will definitely come back to the Mays Landing location again. TMs like Nikki need to be reward for her excellent costumer service and performance as an employee!“

“I was in atlantic city . I have walk past this truck a million times when I visit atlantic city. So yesterday i was hungry i didn't want to eat food i could get in New York. The guys that work at this truck are nice. They are willing to listen. When i tell you that Chicago cheesesteak was lit. The fries and the mozzarella sticks. Awesome. I would come back ago. Great service. Worth the money and I would spend it again. Just mad i couldn't get it this morning before I left. I will be back“

“Lovely time at Sirens! We went on a busy summer weekend and the location and atmosphere are beautiful. There was a killer band outside playing - father/daughter duo who were amazing and a sax player too! Got the garlic shrimp which were great , as well as a blueberry cocktail with fresh blueberries. 10/10 recommend!“

“Amazing food, excellent staff. Comfortable inside and outside seating.“

“In my humble opinion, I must state that my total experience at this “Exceptional Restaurant “ was 10 STARS! The staff greeted when I arrived with a smile and I must admit that the CRAP TRAP has a philosophy of making sure you will have an individual who is a Professional who will advise you and answer any questions about their “SUPERIOR” menu! Our waitress never missed a beat when it came to advising me the in her opinion, I should choose their famous Crab Cake that was stuffed with crab and no fillers! One thing that you will observe, their salad was so fresh and the rolls & muffins were homemade & hot! You have several choices of side dishes & I selected the apple sauce that had to be prepared in house, and the frech fries were crispy and also seasoned perfectly! Our table was spotless, and the whole restaurant had a staff who never rushed you, but was always there to refill you water! I have dined in 5 Star Restaurants on my vacations & business trips, and all I must state is for being my 1ST Visit to the CRAP TRAP, I plan to make it a weekly location and a priority on my “Schedule”! I have wanted to dine there before, but I can add there parking lot suggested that there was a long wait, When I entered, I was so impressed by the size of the inside accommodation! I must apologize for my velours review, but I truly feel that this restaurant is a “GEM”“

“Went for the wings after seeing a viral tiktok video looking for places in wildwood. The wings were good! They have homemade blue cheese that everyone loved - it is a little thin and I prefer thick with lots of chunks but it's still a great homemade sauce!

I got the cheese fries which were fantastic! Crispy and well seasoned. I also got the honey garlic wings which were also very good. My husband got the mild - they had a zing but not too hot.

The only downside is there is only 4 flavors. A mild , a bbq, a honey garlic and a hot. So if you like different flavors just a heads up. Also it's cash only but ATM is on premise and only charges 2.99. They also serve coke products - good to know if you are a pepsi lover like myself ?“

“What a great spot to stop for lunch during my busy work day! They were so accommodating and welcoming! I ordered “The Gladiator” on a wrap … phenomenal taste! The butternut squash soup had to have been homemade!

I highly recommend.. looking forward to ordering again“

“They've been going through transitional periods... I get it. You get it. We all get it.
However, as of late, the kids are trying! Not much leadership other than their manager, who, for me is amazing.
Lately their newer hires are actually customer service forward, but also, just... friendly.

I've always come here, but as of late, compared to the others, the kids here... are actually on it.WITH A SMILE.
Food on point.
Don't sleep on WB“

“My bestie and I met for our monthly brunch… best coffee and grilled cheese I ever had. The server was amazing! I’ll be back for sure“

“We attended a small 50th Birthday party at Fred and Ethels with 12 in our party. We were told there was a 45 min wait. We were seated in about 20 min. The server was excellent. The food, especially the Bang Shrimp Tacos were Banging! It's a little far from me but I'd go there every week if I could. Can't wait for my next meal there. I'd definitely recommend Fred and Ethels. Parking can be found even on the weekends.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“My husband and I have dinner at the Bar on Sunday‘s. The food is delicious, and the Bartender is awesome!“

“Hope more shoobies that are pretentious stay away . Beer is cold jukebox best in town and bartenders always nice . Definitely a little rough for some but fits …scared of a tattoo stay away ? Prices also best in town“

“Read in facebook about a shrimp and grits special! I ran right over I used to go to ac New York av for what was my fav dish. But little goats is definitely my all time fav shrimp and grits ever! Tender lg shrimp seasoned grits and a minuet of crispy bacon and cheddar cheese in the middle what a wonderful surprise! I highly recommend little goat diner on Delilah rd you’ll never be disappointed ❤️ jersey girl“

“Take off 6/16. I enjoyed two espresso martinis and an egg platter. The two running the show are so incredibly funny and entertaining. I debated missing my flight just to hang out with them. Make sure you sit at the bar or if you’re at a table - please wait to be seated ;)“

“Great experience with live band. Menu felt incomplete but is probably in line with other outside beach bars in the area. Prices seemed a bit high but service was excellent. I would definitely return. Parking is completely free in the casino garage.“

“I’m a little biased I work here“
