50 Best American Restaurants near Absecon

“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?“

“I had been going to this diner for almost 11 years. Started in 2006 until 2016. Going and returning from Atlantic City. Spoke to the hostess in 2017 and said I promise to be back. I haven't been recently, because my husband passed away in 2017. This diner has the "best breakfast, lunch & dinner." Omelettes and pancakes are very, very good!! I almost forgot the name recently and looked up locations. So glad I found it. This will always be my favorite diner to go to in New Jersey. Desserts are great by the way. Enjoy their cookies for Christmas, too. See you soon. Ms. Ro“

“First time here. Awesome. Excellent food and service. Special accolades to Amanda and Kate at the bar. Had a ball!!.“

“Awesome bagels abs great staff!“

“I cannot express how awesome our Memorial Day Sunday was at Renault Winery. From the planning with Meredith, to the incredibly informative tour with Jessica Zelinka, to the charcuterie class with Tatiana and Sebastian, to the firepit and dinner with Ben. All top notch A1! Highly recommend large friends gatherings here. We were all treated like VIP rock stars. Thank you Renault. We will certainly be back!“

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

“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.“

“Good food and service! Beautiful view“

“I just love everything about this place.“

“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!“

“Always a wonderful meal. My favorite is the grilled Romain with anchovies on the side. The stuff dates were also amazing. Everything we all ordered was outstanding. The food is superb. I just wish the restaurant were a little bigger, so there was a little more elbow room. “

“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)“

“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!“

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

“This is a wonderful chill spot for breakfast and lunch. Service is friendly, but a bit sluggish... There were only about 5 out of twenty tables going when we (4) came in. Took about 20 plus minutes to get my special... Specials are prepped or at least should be.“

“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 ?“

“Whole wheat pancakes are so good!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“great drinks“

“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.“

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

“always good food and friendly staff“

“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.)“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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 ?“

“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“

“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”“

“Great spot. Hard to find good places in AC but this place made my day.

Beautiful location with a good view. Super friendly staff, shout out to Stevie. The Bloody Mary was on point.

If I come back to AC, I’ll make a point to come back.“

“Service was excellent from the Host to our Server. Our burgers and fries were really good but our nachos were the absolute worst. Zero flavor from the gobs of canned cheese, unripened tomatoes and seemingly boiled chicken cubes with no seasoning made for lackluster nachos.“

“I’ve been dying to try this place since seeing it featured on Triple D and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere and the food was off the charts. Definitely try the snapper turtle soup. I also had the chipotle shrimp salad sandwich which is a home run.“

“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.“

“This was our first time here and I choose due to the many pics on line and I LOVE SWEETS!! LET'S JUST SAY it did not disappoint. The place is so charming and the dessert menu was huge. My husband and I landed up splitting a huge 4 scoop ice cream with everything on it and it was even too big for us to finish. Our waitress was as cute as a button and so nice and welcoming. She knew it was our first time, so she took the time to go over her recommendations. We will be bringing our daughter back when she visits“

“Recently came in on a Tuesday night around 10ish and tried the mango habanero wings which were absolutely delicious as well as the fish tacos which I would highly recommend (add extra sauce) ! Got great service from the bartender and waitress who was super cool and friendly. Definitely will be coming back!“

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

“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“

“This place is terrific. Since our first visit when we moved to town 2 1/2 years ago, Rose’s has been a favorite. Everyone is always friendly & the whole menu is great. The tuna hoagies & salads are our favorites. Great food & customer service!“

“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 food and atmosphere“

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

“Always great food and drinks.“

“It always surprises me how much I enjoy the boneless buffalo wings from Applebee's. I would go as far as to say they do boneless wings better than all of the actual chicken wing chains do. They always arrive hot, with a outside crunch, flavorful sauce, and cool blue cheese. What more can you want?“

“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.“
