Best pancakes on the island and friendly staff. Thin and fluffy pancakes priced reasonably. This place doesn’t take advantage of other resteraunts ridiculous prices. U can have breakfast here for $10. Indoor and outdoor seating. A block from the ocean. Well run business with good quality food! Come here 4-5 times every season.

Luncheonette-style GREAT pancake + house. This is an outgrowth of the original Gilchrist's in the Marina District in Atlantic City, near Harrah's Casino. The pancakes are thin, light and crisp. They go down easily and I'm not a big fan of pancakes anywhere else. At fancy restaurants they would be called crêpes and you would be charged five times as much. Good coffee. Reasonably priced. Ground floor of a high rise. Street parking available.

We were visiting ALC from So. California and our waitress recommended for us to visit Cape May and also the boardwalk in Ocean City and have pizza at Manco & Manco. All 3 recommendations were spot on! Not only that, our food here was yummy and served quickly and the staff was friendly. Great spot near the beach!
