“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.“

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

“We always enjoy returning to Stella. We live out of state, but frequently return here to spend time on the Jersey shore. The food is always incredible. The veal and eggplant is amazing, with wonderful flavors. Portions are large, and will be extremely satisfying. We will definitely return next year to enjoy this stellar restaurant!“

“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!“

“I just love everything about this place.“

“I had a 7:45p reservation and I was running late. I called the restaurant to see if I could push the time up to 8p; they accommodated me without an issue. However I still showed up late ugh. The host was very nice and she still seated us. I Love our server & host. Food was delicious.“

“We were looking for a good breakfast yesterday 11/2/25, and happened to find TW Howells restaurant. We stopped in and placed our orders and while waiting for our food, we could not help eyeing all the wonderful dishes coming out of the kitchen! Each of us had a great breakfast! The waitress was helpful and fun, and even the owner/Chef came out and talked with us. We even met some of his brothers that help keep everyone happy!! All four of us highly recommend this restaurant and will likely be planning another road trip from Delaware to visit soon.“

“Great vegan breakfast spot! Conveniently located in the ShopRite plaza, don't let the location fool you. Plenty of space inside, with additional seating around back. Why did it take me so long to discover this amazing gem, located right here in Egg Harbor Township, NJ? I had heard that the vegan options were good and I was happy to finally give it a try, but I wasn't getting overly excited. Ha! Was I ever surprised...and in the BEST way possible. They have vegan options for breakfast and lunch (see pics). I went with the French toast and an omelette (w/ mushrooms, onion, spinach + cheese). Comes with potatoes, which were cooked to perfection, and a choice of toast, English muffin, or bagel. I opted for an everything bagel (w/ vegan butter) and it was fresh, chewy, toasted perfectly, I mean-really good. I can't say enough about what a great experience I had. Our waitress, Danielle, was helpful with our order and explained that they are very careful about vegan orders, cross-contamination, and allergies. Breakfast for 2 for under $50 (we didn't have coffee or other beverage) and we had plenty to take home. Can't wait to go back again!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.)“

“Alyssa was amazing, she gave us her recommendations on Saturday evening and we were so impressed with the food we came back on Sunday. To our surprise, we had Alyssa once again as our server! We got her recommended chicken vodka sandwich and the fabulous cinnamon bun french toast.“

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

“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“

“I must say I am very impressed with how well this restaurant handles themselves during busy times during the holidays. The wait was 2 hours but when I got in and ate the service was phenomenal and food came out quickly. Highly recommend this restaurant when heading down south.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Thank you Kay. My 2nd tine to the Flagshio resort and my 1st time to this Applebee's. Your professionalism was amazing as well as your care and concern your guests. That meal was hot, reasy and delicious. Oh and the broccoli, delicious. Thank you management as well.“

“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!“

“Food was wonderful but the menu keeps changing and not enough variety for people with food restrictions! The Tuna melt is gone from the menu I just found out today! And the Delicious Carrot Cake 🍰 🥕is no longer available! I hope they bring BOTH these items back in the future! Our cashier Saba was wonderful and understanding. She helped us pay our bill with no confusion. Can’t wait to come back!! Whenever you come to Resorts Casino come to Breadsticks and have SABA check you in and do your transaction!!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“I am writing this review in response to the review from 3 weeks ago where someone is claiming that Philly Steaks and Subs has left their meat out all night long😂😂😂. I took my own picture and just wanted to let everyone know the case is full of assorted nuts. No meat is ever in the nut case 🤪🤪🤪. No meat was harmed during the creation of this review 😂😂😂. Also I showed the employees the last review claiming that they need to shut this place down immediately. They all shook their heads 🤪🤪🤪“

“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“

“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.“

“Way fun since I was 21. Now I’m 59. Great memories and people!“

“Stopped in while spending a long weekend at the shore. Local hot spot for sure as they still had a good crowd despite being off season. The wings are definitely a must as they were well seasoned and a nice size. I had the stuffed flounder while husband had the seafood combination. Everything was tasty and the portion sizes were good.“
