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?“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“My first time at Hell's Kitchen in Ceaser's Atlantic City and it didn't disappoint. First I want to say the staff was amazing. Lynda our server was so nice, friendly and accommodating. The food was incredible. The short rib arincini as our appetizer was so good. As main courses we had the Beef Wellington and the chicken breast. We enjoyed both. I highly recommend the restaurant when you are in Atlantic City. Delicious food, amazing staff and classy ambiance.“

“I just love everything about this place.“

“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“

“Always excellent! Seafood at its best. Service is tops.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“great drinks“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. The food, along with the staff are the best. Enjoy.“

“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“

“First time visiting we did the Halloween flights n Halloween frozen hot chocolate it was delicious!! Can’t wait to make another road trip back. Staff is excellent even when it was busy always checking on us making sure we were good!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Cheesesteak place and Chinese food place are both great options. Cheesesteak place is open late but the Chinese food place does not have bad hours. Both the chicken teriyaki and general tso's chicken at the Chinese place are good and I usually order a regular cheesesteak. The food is far cheaper than anything else you can find in the hotel so its a good move and filling.“

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

“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?“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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 ;)“

“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!“
