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.“

“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“

My family and I loved this place snd will be back.“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“Our first time at Hells Kitchen Atlantic City NJ was on 10.16.26. We were celebrating our 9 yr wedding anniversary on this day. Our server Donna was phenomenal. Not only did she have a friendly demeanor she was quite professional as well. She informed us a few menu items such as the pumpkin soup. She also informed us about the portion sizes for the salads and the side items. Knowing it was our first time she offered to take our picture down in front of the kitchen. As well as she surprised us with a delicious chocolate dessert. I highly recommend Hells Kitchen and especially Donna.“

“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.“

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!“

“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.)“

“The employees are friendly and the sauce and cheese flavors show they take pride in their product. At $3.25 for a for a standard size slice of pizza they put a fair amount of sauce and cheese.

The orange and green signage jumped out at me while walking the boardwalk. Im glad I stopped here.“

“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!“
