“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!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely love it here❤️“

“This was an outstanding dinner experience! Everything was so fresh and uniquely prepared. I had shrimp and crab over a squid ink pasta- the sauce was delicious !!! The labne salad was excellent. The cacia de Pepe was perfect! My husbands halibut was cooked perfectly and generous portions.“

“Donna was amazing! She was very nice,warm, and provided great service. We enjoyed the dinner overall. The lobster risotto was just ok which was disappointing BUT everything else was delicious. We had the crab cake appetizer, lobster and shrimp scampi, ny strip, and mac and cheese. Thanks for making this a fun and enjoyable experience Donna!“

“Muy buena ubicación y magnífica atención“

“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“

“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 ?“

“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 ❤️“

“This place is just great. Passed by a million times and today we went in for lunch. We noticed how clean it was as we sat down. The menu is more than reasonable and had a wide array of items. We both decided on the cheesesteak. I’ve gotta say, hands down, it blew all the usual sub places out of the water. Crusty seeded bread, cooper sharp, etc. One of the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. Owners and staff were so nice and approachable. Believe me, this spot is a true hidden gem. We can’t wait to go back again.“

“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.“

“Whole wheat pancakes are so good!“

“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!“

“always good food and friendly staff“

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

“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.)“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Shug’s has the best soul food in South Jersey hands down! It’s hidden off on the campus, but it’s the first thing you see as you walk in. Hard to miss. The food is delicious!!! and the owners are friendly and give you enough food to put you to sleep! I would say what my favorite dish is, but they make it impossible to choose.“

“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“

“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“

Our food came fast and the feeling and vibe was like chilling on the beach eating fro yo. Food was well priced and it was delicious. IN LOVED THIS PLACE too bad I was just on vacation. COME TO THIS PLACE!“

“Updating my review to 5 stars. While the experience initially started off frustrating due to issues with the online ordering system and a misunderstanding regarding my order, I called back and spoke with Tim who completely turned the situation around. He handled the issue professionally, fixed the problem, and made things right. The entrée ended up tasting great and I really appreciate the effort to resolve the situation. Thank you to Tim for the excellent customer service and professionalism.“

“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 highly recommend. Very nice people here. I just had to make a special order due to having Crohns disease and they were accomodating. Quality food and good service from staff who care about pleasing thier customers. The chicken steak was delicious. Thank you.“

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

“We’ve visited Ventnor Social twice now, and both times have been fantastic. Going out to eat with our 14-month-old usually makes us a little nervous, but that wasn’t the case here at all.

Shane, who was bartending and serving, was incredibly kind, polite, and attentive. He really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and accommodated, which we truly appreciated as parents. He was genuinely warm and patient, and you can tell he truly cares about giving guests a great experience.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the games make it a great spot for families. We’ve had such positive experiences each time and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Dinner at the American Bar & Grille located in the Borgata Hotel & Casino was a very nice meal. There are multiple sections to the restaurant, so the commotion of the casino does not affect the ambiance. The clam chowder and salmon off of the pre fix menu were delicious.“

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

“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.“

“Invited my friend for her Bday treat and was not disappointed 🤩 steak was melting in my mouth and my friend said that fillet mignon was super tender !! potatoes and veggies simply delicious 😋 very good service and atmosphere 🥰 highly recommended 5⭐️👌“

“I love the Little Goat! They have actual hash browns. The staff is lovely. The food overall is fresh, tasty, comforting and the menu has lots of creative specials and then there are the cinnamon rolls. Homemade cinnamon rolls that are just extraordinary. Also brownies.“

“Best clams in the damn world. So fresh so tasty , this place really delivers it's closed until the next beach season 😭 but if your down there next summer do not even consider missing this place . Everything we had was excellent and very affordable. It gets crazy packed so get there before they open or expect a little wait“

“I held a tasting for Bella promotions and events / alliedbeveragenj and they were amazing host! They treated with me w amazing hospitality and selling ghost tequila went off like a hit during their Halloween / Phillies World Series 1st game! Very memorable night plus they have two of the BEST BOUNCERS !“

“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.“
