50 Best American Restaurants near Ventnor City

“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.“

“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.“

“always good food and friendly staff“

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

“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.“

“Delicious and lots of choices including gluten free“

“First time in. Me and my wife went to the downstairs bar and it was amazing. Best old fashion I have had in a long time. Vic was outstanding and truly made us feel as if we had been to the bar a dozen times“

“the fried mozzarella is just a dream“

“Mechanicsburg location-We stopped by last night. The food was fantastic snd the service was great. The owners were working hard along with their staff as it was an extremely busy night since it just opened 2 days ago. Despite that, the food was excellent and no short cuts were taken. My family and I loved this place snd will be back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Muy buena ubicación y magnífica atención“

“The wife and I were down here for a getaway and found Kessel’s Korner online for breakfast. We read the reviews, and decided we would check it out for ourselves. Wow I am glad we decided to go, it was absolutely delicious we will go back again. Everything was fantastic!“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Could not be more thrilled to of found such great gluten free options in OCNJ. The GF breakfast wrap is phenomenal and I can’t wait to enjoy their other items. Thank you for giving those of us with food allergies great options!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.)“

“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!“

“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?“

“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.“

“Good service, good cheese pizza and I appreciate they had a gluten free pizza option, which they provided a small pizza cutter and serve pizza on its own pan. Gluten free pizza could be better, but it’s definitely better than nothing.“

“A regular. Love this place. Friendly servers. Fantastic brunch.“

“Ate here yesterday with three of my co-workers. I've had their food previously at the restaurant and we've used them for catering but it was my co-workers first time there. Two of my co-workers had oxtail and my other co-worker and I had wings (I also added a piece of fish to mine). EVERYTHING came out as expected; hot, fresh and delicious. Seasoned perfectly. We all loved every single bite and the sides were also amazing. Will be back. Sorry...didn't get any pics. We were starving and starting eating as soon as we got the food. Lol!“
