“This place might just blend into the background, but boy is the food delicious, hearty, fresh, and plentiful. They can’t guarantee gluten free, but the owner Lily went out of her way to personally ensure there was no cross contamination. The result was delicious and my friend was so happy! The drinks were delicious too.“

“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“

“Such a cool little place. Great drinks.“

“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“

“Hat's off to the Byrd Cage!! We (Atlantic City) finally got a restaurant with good food. I've eaten there a couple of times now and both time the food was consistently good! The server Joe was good at what he does , he was quite knowledgeable of the menu as well as the Sunday with Sinatra special. Chef Mike even stopped by our table just to say hello. My wife and I are looking forward to returning for another good meal. Thank you and good luck. Geno“

“Phil is the best bartender!!!“

“Jessica is the epitome of a true bartender. Friendly, attentive, and always one step ahead with a refill, she kept the energy upbeat and welcoming all evening. During Happy Hour she was the only bartender working for quite a while, yet she handled the crowd with ease and kept the entire bar running smoothly. Her personality, professionalism, and hustle made the experience exceptional. Jessica is the real deal!“

“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!“

“Bar 32 is a hidden gem where the vibe alone is worth the visit. Nicole, or “Mama Chocolate,” gives is the soul of the place, and that the chocolate and wine pairings aren't just tasty—they’re crafted with love of chocolate and experience.“

“For Valentine's Day weekend, my wife and I dined at the historical and exquisite Knife & Fork Inn on Friday, 2.13.26, since the 14th was totally booked. It was her first time there and mine since childhood. The menu was so extensive that it made it a bit of a welcoming challenge to focus on a particular choice. For starters, our huge portion of the Corn & Crab Chowder was the best that we have ever had and the Artisanal Cheese Plate was delectably wide-ranging. My wife loved the Halibut and my Bone-In Pork Chop was superb. Our cordial and diligent waiter, Carmen, who took service to the next level, suggested the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert and we were very glad that he did as it was perfectly sized to share! Before we arrived, I mentioned to my wife that this would be a top dining experience and it was more than that with the historical ambiance, service and the spectacular menu options. We will definitely be back to try some more of their varied cuisine!“

“pizza is great , frozen drinks were good , staff was nice and attentive“

“Beautiful hotel, rough neighborhood, great food, great housekeeping, quick response and repair to broken fixture in room . The shopping and food were pretty pricey and Coke is always better than Pepsi. Several New York and New Jersey people lived up to the less-than-friendly reputation!“

“Amazing. My friends and I came across this on our walk, and let’s just say it’s such a hidden gem, it’s definitely worth coming to! The waitress was very nice and friendly. The place was clean and you can tell it’s been around for a long time. The portion sizes are huge!!! I had the hot dog and fries, and my friends and husband each got different gyro plates. They were so generous, they were stuffed by the end of our meal! Please support this business and try their delicious foods. We’ll DEFINITELY be back on our next visit. Muchísimas gracias, Les deseo muchas bendiciones y espero que nos visitamos muy pronto ✌️😊“

“Great local bar/restaurant! Come for the king crabs 🦀 comfortable and not touristy!“

“When entering the bar looking for a seat, blonde hair lady manager was not very pleasant at all. I know it gets busy but she should try to smile once in awhile. Billy The bartender was always pleasant, Then we sat at a table for dinner We had waitress Trish who was absolutely amazing!! Very pleasant made you feel welcomed .. food is always good“

“Moments at Scannicchios is the best spot in AC for a delicious meal, amazing drinks, and entertainment! My husband hosted my 40th birthday there and the service was exceptional!!! Scott, Tommy and the crew really know how to make their customers feel like family and have a good time! I can’t wait to watch games, eat, drink and party next week when the new side opens! 100 💯 recommend everyone try it out!!!“

“When I decided to go there it didn't have much expectations. I just saw it on Google maps and wanted to check it out.
They offer a variety of authentic German beer. The food is mostly more German inspired than authentic, but the Bavarian Pretzel is actually very authentic.
The staff is super nice. I recommend checking the place out if you're ever in the area“

“People were probably off for Mother's day so the dining room was closed and we were served by the bartender. She was very friendly and checked in frequently. The food was a good value for the price and I especially liked the caprese tower and shrimp. Will definitely be back this summer“

“Everything was absolutely amazing! The service was impeccable and the food oh so delicious!!“

“Food is really good! We are local and love this hidden treasure.“

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

“I’ve heard about Nola’s from many people since it opened. It was Ocean’s version of Borgata’s Gypsy Bar. The problem is it wasn’t as good. But that doesn’t matter anymore since Borgata decided to close the best live music bar in Atlantic City. My daughter and her BF took us to Nola’s. It was a great night. Good drinks, nice atmosphere, great music with a good dance floor.

I guess one of the things that made Gypsy better was half the venue wasn’t reserve areas like Nola’s. Groups could reserve an area and it would be roped off but if no one reserved it then it was open to everyone. On this night all of the reserved areas were empty until the second band when two groups came in to take up most of one side of the reserved area. Gypsy has lots of high top tables which are great for dance venues.

We still stay at Borgata but go to other casinos each night to whichever has the best live music and dancing that night. The more we go to Oceans the more we talk about switching from Borgata to Oceans. We can’t have Gold level status at two casinos so we have to pick. Nola’s might finally get us to switch casinos.“

“Super man on acid kicked my butt“

“Idek the lady name behind the bar, but I went there yesterday, day before yesterday and planning on going there today. She has such a pleasant spirit and the drinks are top tier. Don't drink it too fast, you'll get a brain freeze lml“

“Jessica is an amazing waitress, friendly and attentive. I would definitely come here again and request Jessica.“

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

“Best place to hear my favorite band, This is the best place in Atlantic City 2nd to none good people young and older all having fun. This is the best place to jam out with the best cover bands in New Jersey... And the best bar tenders on the planet... P. Rose“

“Love it!!!!!......💖💖💖💖💖💖💖“

“A great hidden gem in Atlantic city is the Toga Bar. Drinks are reasonable priced with comfy seats. Our bartender was Joe T and he was great! Every empty glass was whisked away and refilled. He was full of knowledge about Caesars casino and hotel and recommended different restaurants and buffets on the property. We can see why Caesars keeps him at the bar on the casino floor as he is such a great advocate for the casino.“

“So. Much. Fun. Stopped in for a cocktail before and after the show, The Hook, at Caesars. Atmosphere is whacky yet perfectly matches the vibe of the show. The craft cocktails are just perfect, the menu includes some older drinks that are worth revisiting. Try the Aviation, thank me later. The bartenders Noah and Frankie were super friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed talking to them for quite some time. Frankie knows his stuff, likes what he does, and he does it well. We also enjoyed watching him craft said craft cocktails. lol Stop in for a drink around the show or just as you walk by. We will be back!“

“Decided to check out Gin Rickey’s Friday night (10/18) with my friend because there was a band playing. Even though the band was almost done with their set, it was a great atmosphere!!! The bartenders were great and personable! We enjoyed some small talk with Nick! We will definitely come back next time we’re in AC!!!“

“Absolutely love it here❤️“

“Typical casino lobby bar, but given the history of the Resorts Casino, it's worth having a drink or two. The bar's hours aren't great (they open later than most) BUT they do have amazing holiday themed pop-up bars for different seasons (Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, etc) that take over the bar, complete with decorations and specialty cocktails.“

“I'm absolutely blown away by this incredible spot! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere is electric, with a vibe that's perfect for catching up with friends or making new ones. But what really steals the show here are the drinks - oh, the drinks! They're truly exceptional. I mean, I've tried my fair share of beers and artisanal cocktails around town, but the ones they're serving up here are on a whole different level. The attention to detail is staggering. Every sip is a masterclass in flavor and technique. I went for the seasonal spritz, which was expertly crafted with just the right balance of sweet and tangy. And the presentation? Absolutely stunning. I almost didn't want to disturb the perfectly arranged garnishes and ice cubes, they looked so beautiful. But of course, I had to take a sip, and boy, was it worth it. The flavors just danced on my palate, leaving me wanting more, more, MORE. And don't even get me started on the service. The staff here are some of the friendliest, most knowledgeable people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, especially Brian and Adam. They're passionate about what they do, and it shows in every interaction. They took the time to explain the inspiration behind each drink, and made spot-on recommendations based on my tastes. All in all, I'm thoroughly impressed by this amazing spot. Whether you're a foodie, a cocktail connoisseur, or just someone looking for a great night out, this place is an absolute must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. The drinks are, without a doubt, super good - but it's the whole package that really makes this place shine. So grab a seat, order a round, and get ready for an unforgettable experience!❤️“

“Kathy and Nick are always inventing new, interesting events to make folks proud to call our town Somers Point HOME.“

“Located on the Lobby Level of Ocean Resort & Casino this bar in the round is always up to fun.The current event is the Girl Scout Cookie inspired Cocktail Menu. These drinks are really delicious and taste reminiscent of the 4 featured cookies. This special menu is offered at other spots in the hotel. 1$ from each drink sold goes to the Girl Scouts of Southern & Central New Jersey.In the past they've offered seasonal cocktails as well as drinks inspired by performers doing concerts in the Resort theater.#OceanResortCasino#oceanforthewin#lobbybar“

“Went tonight to see one of my favorite bands - The Loop. Going bar seats and the bartender Dan made one of the BEST old fashioneds I have ever had… and I am picky. He was also very personable and made the night fun. The bar itself is clean and comfortable… but what will bring me back is Dan and the great entertainment space.

** I rates food a five bc I didn’t want to lower the rating…. But I didn’t eat and don’t think there even is food. Great as an after dinner spot.“

“Excellent atmosphere to relax and unwind. Music was enjoyable. pool and surrounding deck is kept clean and comfortable. Plenty of chairs and towels available. Bar/ food service was spectacular! Just one suggestion would be to provide umbrellas for the chairs. Not very much shade on the pool deck. A very happy place!“

“Fun place and great drinks“

“Got to enjoy a Halloween in Atlantic City. The Mountain Bar was the perfect place to get drafts for an amazing price, hear some live music everyone was singing along to and witness some jaw dropping costumes. All I can say is that you should be so lucky as to have Lence as your server if you find yourself at the hightop tables by the bar!! And no that is not a misspelling!! She was absolutely fantastic, incredibly attentive and rather quick considering how busy the bar was. Highly highly recommend!!!“

“Was out last minute Xmas shopping and decided to pop in for a quick drink. Kathy was my bartender and she was very friendly and so helpful on helping me find a Xmas gifts for my expecting wife. Never had food here but I’ll definitely pop in again.“
