The Brigantine location was very accommodating and tried to help him so he wouldn't have to drive all the way over to Margate - so shout out to them for their service!

Would recommend!

It's just such a thick cutlet that you feel like you're going to break your jaw when you try to bite into the sandwich lol. Especially when they stack the cutlets on top of each other.

We got our food pretty quick. I got a grilled cheese burger which was delicious and cheesy fries. They had amazing old bay fries and my mom got a burger which was good. They said it would take 15 minutes and it exactly took 15 minutes!

I mean, holy yikes. Before I let it rip, let me start with the undeniable positives. I've been…read moregoing to dairy bar for 20 years for a reason. The ice cream, soft serve, and frozen dessert choice variety is fantastic, despite the price being astronomical and varying greatly every time I go. The addition of the burger bar felt gimmicky at first, but they really put out delicious quality food. Here's my issue that's making it incredibly painful every time I now visit the dairy bar. Let me start with saying Margate is a special place in the summer. The town is overflowing with families ready to spend money, including their teen aged kids. Margate teens don't have a lot of places outside their house to hang out anymore. With the beach curfew and the club wa crack down, the kids are more spread out and looking for somewhere to go that isn't their parent's house. I am NOT asking the dairy bar to be the new club wa, or the place where all the teenagers can hang out without buying anything. But my god, the hostile environment that is created by going over the loud speaker and saying "if you're not a paying customer or giving money to MY buisness, get off MY picnic tables/get out of MY lines/get off MY sidewalk" and "this isn't a free park, it's a business. Buy something or leave," said with the most condescending tone, makes me want to football spike my ice cream cone on the perfectly power washed sidewalk. I mean my god, MOST of these kids have their parents Amex cards. Should you tell the kids to cut it out if there's 10 of them trying to flip over a table at peak business time? If they're vaping into your window at your employees? Absolutely. Do you need to chase every group of kids away before they step foot in line or ask if they can use the bathroom? Maybe not. One of my favorite memories is going to the dairy bar and listening to the jazz band in a long line to get birthday cake ice cream. Another one is being a teenager with my friend, getting cups of water, and sharing one water ice among 2 of us because we spent most of our allowance money for the week already. The hostile and uninviting environment that has been created and seems to be way more aggressive this year than past is not only unappealing, it's borderline disturbing. If your greatest enemy is a 14 year old boy with a supreme backpack and an alo sweatshirt, maybe you should think about your priorities. Treating teenagers as disrespectfully as possible and being surprised when they treat you the same back shouldn't be that shocking. This place that has some of my most cherished memories is now a cringe fest. Being a little kinder to the clientele (even if they aren't buying something until their parents finish dinner at Steve and cookies) and trying to limit your "zingers" at gen z over the loudspeaker could be beneficial to decreasing the god awful vibes you've created. Hope you can work on that, and maybe adding rum raisin to the menu.

I had my chance for a birthday celebration that we had made dinner reservations for the week before. DINNER WAS PHENOMENAL!!! We each got a different dish, and each and every one was delicious and devoured (some wusses couldn't finish theirs, lol)! I'll just review mine, but please look at the menu. Everything is made fresh (including desserts) by the cook and baker, JOHNNY. Whaaaat?! (He stopped by our table and we chatted - super nice guy and my God the talent in those Italian hands)! My Chicken Piccata was really, really good - tender, and not too many capers; with just the right amount of "sauce." It came with two spears of asparaus, that were very good as well. When I tell you that I cleaned my plate, I cleaned my plate! Some ordered desserts and they were all exceptional! I'm usually "Team Chocolate," but was in the mood for cheesecake. DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN, was it other world yummy! (No BS Cheesecake Factory here!). Creamy, yet dense, and it was a really nice portion! Our server, Nick, was great and attentive - a genuine guy too, which is always appreciated. Our sweet men tipped him very well! He made sure that the "birthday boy" had a candle in his slice of blueberry pie. Another delicious dessert - wow! Between the food, LOOCH, the modern decor (beautiful white circular leather seated booths for the most part) and the atmosphere itself, you can't miss here! Johnny's is classy, delicious and fun. I highly, HIGHLY reccommond dining here. (Pro tip - take a cardigan because it can get cold).

Eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast for me; steak and eggs for my husband, which he said was very tasty. Food was very good, everything arrived hot on our plates. Our waitress was very attentive. Cost was reasonable considering we were down the shore. Ambiance was wonderful, even though we were there for breakfast. I can imagine lunch and dinner time, it would be as well. Menu was very detailed and expansive enough for anyone dining there. Pricing was acceptable, considering one is at a shore location. Definitely will hit up Johnny's for lunch or dinner next time we are in Margate.

One time we had an iced s'mores latte and a snickerdoodle latte and the next time we both got peppermint mocha iced lattes. So good!!! Definitely stop by and give this place a try!

We were there for açaí and yogurt though so stayed with that. One order was their nutty bowl with blueberries rather than strawberries. My dining partner sampled a few yogurt flavors and came away with vanilla, something tart, and raspberry. She tossed some mango and mochi balls on top and called it delicious. The açaí bowl had an entire banana on it and tons of blueberries. We enjoyed our treats there, ate it all. We'll stop in again!

I'm visibly pregnant, and our child was hot and tired from the July heat. We simply needed a moment to rest while we decided what to order. The handwritten menu is, in my opinion, messy and difficult to read, so we needed a bit more time to look it over. We were immediately informed that waitress service doesn't start till 7:00pm and we were not permitted to sit. My husband stated that we were just reviewing the menu. The girl behind the counter said, "You can stand to look at the menu. You can sit when your food is ready". The tone used was dismissive, sarcastic, and dismissively rude, making the entire experience uncomfortable and hostile. It was inappropriate for anyone in customer service. I called twice later that day, but no one ever answered. Still, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and reached out to via Facebook to express my concerns. What I got in return was more of the same: a snide, sarcastic, and dismissive response that confirmed this is simply how they treat people. Two Cents Plain has a total lack of professionalism and respect. Save your money and take your family somewhere that actually welcomes customers.
