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?“

“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“

“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.“

“Awesome bagels abs great staff!“

“This is the second time we have had Jeremy as a server and he is absolutely amazing. It was our six year anniversary and I couldn't imagine anyone else being our server on this amazing occasion. There was a loud group of people next to us, but they easily let us move inside, which was amazing and so accommodating“

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

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

“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!“

“Absolutely love it here❤️“

“Muy buena ubicación y magnífica atención“

“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!“

“We ordered the 3 course meal. Beef wellington, lobster risotto and dessert. Our daughter ordered the mac and cheese. The risotto was amazing as well as the dessert and the mac and cheese. Only complaint was the wellington was room temp/cold when we received it. That may be how it is supposed to be served, we aren't sure as it was our first time trying it. The meat was cooked perfectly and the outside crust was so good. Our 9 year old did say the mashed potatoes needed to be seasoned as well. Overall, great experience.“

“We love coming here but even with reservations we always wait about 15 mins to be seated. That's fine but there is no place to wait comfortably. Maybe consider taking out one table to make room for a sitting area? At least in the summer. As always, the food is outstanding. The servers are warm and efficient. Noise level is high.“

“Good food and service! Beautiful view“

“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.“

“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 ?“

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

“Whole wheat pancakes are so good!“

“2/8/2026 hubby & I’s first time today came with a friend & his daughter that’s been before hubby and I enjoyed our food and the home feeling from the owner and his brother very pleased thank you for making us comfortable ❤️“

“Hello again culinary aficionados. Today we ventured to Egg Harbor Township and the Shop Rite Shopping center to find a local spot to have a fabulous lunch & voila we actually found THE Local Spot Restaurant! A Breakfast & lunch haven open from 8 am to 3 pm everyday of the week! As we ventured in we see booths and a welcoming counter and in the back many more spacious tables. Joining yours truly today was my travelling companion always my Nan and her cousin Theresa. We get Nicole a very engaging young lady who would be our server today and then we also met Danielle and we were doubly happy! Great young ladies who did not just robot the order they were informative, enjoyed the banter and actually were both a breath of fresh air from the normal may I help you no personality people many of you have said to me you are not happy with! It's always nice to smile when greeting your customers! I started off with the lentil soup and the ladies had the appetizer sampler with Onion Rings, Mozzarella Sticks & Jalapeno Peppers. Lunch was the Corned Beef Grilled Reuben, Grilled Chicken Gyro and for yours truly it was the Big Boy Cheese Steak with Fried Onions & Peppers! We gave the meals six thumbs up! We also gave our servers a standing ovation. And they are so easy to find. Heading east on the black horse pike you'll see the shopping center entrance just past the Burger King. Turn right and go to the end of the road & it's right in front of you! Find a place to park, walk in and get ready for a great breakfast or lunch. We all had to get boxes as the portions were to say the least generous. We met Steve at the main window and he's handling the abundance of take out orders and if you want to join in for a take out call 609-568-5197 but the recommendation here is you make time to visit not just a local spot but THE Local Spot in EHT and ask for Nicole or Danielle. It was a great time had by all of us and as we left they even reached out to say goodbye and in todays culinary world that's not the norm. Total for a tremendous lunch for three right about $50. The Local Spot in EHT we will be back! Check Please.“

“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.)“

“Great food and great customer service!“

“Great atmosphere. We were seated by a window which allowed bay views. Drinks, apps, then dinner. Trust me you will be impressed. Our server was pleasant and efficient. I had snapper and it was delicious. We split a dessert of cheesecake. You need reservations, and in the off season they still draw a crowd. Plenty of off street parking. Enjoy.“

“I had a great time at the Atlantic City location tonight. The bartender Colleen provided exceptional service and was so fun to talk to!“

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

“Promptly greeted by host Johanna. She accommodated our request to move to an outdoor table. Then server Jasmin nicely greeted each person at the table and answered all of our questions. She was prompt with our bar drinks and very attentive to our requests. Our food served at the perfect temperature; clam chowder soups, rice bowls, and jalapeno bomb burger. We asked jasmin for dessert recommendation and she suggested the cheesecake and excellent choice! We will definitely dine at Fred and Ethel’s again for the outstanding dining experience!“

“Was a really great place to go to, I ordered a southern hot honey chicken sandwich and a raspberry iced tea, which i dont typically like tea OR hot honey, but they were both VERY good! You can tell that food is fresh, and the people working here are very kind. 9.9/10!“

“Great service fantastic food . Soups are delicious nostalgic atmosphere“

“I love all the sandwiches at Roses but my favorite is the big Nick breaded chicken cutlet roasted red peppers and fresh mozzarella. delish!! I think its mainly a takeout spot, because they have only like 4 tables. parking is never a problem though so i have no complaints.“

“This was one of the first places I stopped after moving to Ventnor. Shane was our bartender, and you could immediately tell how much pride he takes in what he does. Even though he was busy, he took the time to answer all of our questions and never made us feel rushed. He was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel at home. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and a place I always enjoy coming back to.“

“Since I cannot cook right now, my Chef friend Amy Phillips Manzione from Stir It Up in Northfield has been providing our meals. She changes her menus weekly and the food is delicious. From Citrus Salmon to sweet potato burgers, lentil loaf, beef gyro, eggplant dishes, turkey burgers and chicken spinach meatballs-the entrees are delicious, healthy and a lot of gf and vegan items, which is rare in this area. Her side offerings are amazing-sweet potato wedges, blue cheese slaw, jicama citrus salad, aloo potatoes and blueberry protein bars. The desserts are perfection, from the mini key lime pies(mom’s favorite) to the peanut butter cookies, which are so good I only order one at a time…. She also does special holiday menus So, if you are in the area, or driving through on your way to the beach, stop in and pick up a great meal! And I need to tell you how we met…. Just a few months into the pandemic, I had a 3 day gig in AC. After the first night. I was feeling awful enough to go to the ER. I didn’t expect to be kept overnight for testing. I didn’t know Amy, I had only been in her shop once. I decided to call to randomly see if she could cover my gig-explaining the situation. She accepted without hesitation and then would not let me pay her for jumping in. I was blown away. Because, who does that? She didn’t know anything about me. So, in addition to her talent as a Chef, she is an incredible human 💕💕“
