Great breakfast spot! Awesome pancakes, super thin and delicious. Breakfast and brunch options for every appetite! Super friendly service, if you see a line don't be scared it moves fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is a converted gas station, counter seating as well as tables. They do have an outside area also.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

What a lousy breakfast sandwich! Asked for a two pork roll egg and cheeses with extra cheese, got bacon instead of pork roll. When I opened up the sandwich, no cheese was spilling out, the cheese wasn't even on the tinfoil. Not sure how they measure cheese by the square but I got skimped and paid almost $19 for both. The ratio of bread to the insides was sad and needs help. For $19 I could have made two monster sandwiches with extra to feed. The sandwich in general was weak and couldn't taste the one egg on the sandwich, just the bread. This is not the first time this has happened to me and I hope this review will help the next person who orders a breakfast sandwich. read more

I love a good breakfast! Especially a scratch me one and this one was giving all the southern comfort vibes complete with a stack of pancakes and some amazing homemade grits! The coffee was hot and the bacon was crispy, my waitress was hysterical. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great spot for brunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is my go to place for pancakes, especially blueberry. Service is great. Prices are reasonable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But you better get there early because it does get crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This spot serves my favorite breakfast in the world and has had me coming back for years. The servers are always so friendly and keep your coffee cup full the entire meal. The food is breakfast perfection. The food comes out hot and fast, my eggs are always cooked just right and the potatoes are soft and tasty. They also always get my side of scrapple crispy just how I like it. The blueberry pancakes are the best I've ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is quaint and feels like home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always crowded, but seats open up fast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Try it and see for yourself. This place is awesome. read more

It's Saturday, restaurant half empty, asked for poached eggs, gen Z waitress immediately pushed back..."we don't do poached eggs on the weekend, it's too busy". Mmm, ok then can you cook my eggs in butter? Another pushback.... oh I don't think that we can do that. Whatever happened to customer service? Ashley... find another occupation. Maybe in front of a computer. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small place, but everything feels comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was some confusion about our order, I think it could have been on us, but I didn't receive what I asked for. I was also misled about the price of a specialty item that I wouldn't have ordered had I known. I think the food is good, but it's nothing out of the ordinary. The service staff were nice. read more

Gilchrist Offshore Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Egg Harbor City, New Jersey

Great local breakfast/brunch spot. Best Hammonton blueberry pancakes around. Breakfast is always fresh and hot. I've only had breakfast here so I can't speak in the lunch platters but you can't go wrong with the breakfast. They take credit cards now which is convenient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have an additional room in the back for seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be mindful of the hours because they are a breakfast/brunch spot so they close early afternoon. Friendly staff and fast service. Check this place out when you are in the area. read more

I unfortunately was not super impressed with Gilchrist Offshore Restaurant. The service was great and everyone there was very nice and helpful, but the food wasn't anything special. The pancake part of the menu says they are the "best you'll ever have" and I definitely did not feel that way. The bacon was also a bit strange and not what I was expecting. My sister got the PREC sandwich and she really liked it. My mom got the egg whites, scrapple and potatoes and thought it was okay. There's nothing necessarily wrong with any of the food we ordered, but it was just average. I don't think I will return. The parking lot is a bit of a nightmare with the busy roads nearby so be careful pulling in and out! read more

If you're familiar with the Gilchrist location in Atlantic City, then you already know where this is going. The food is GOOD. They're going to be some of the best pancakes you're ever going to have. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is super friendly and personable. Going here, I was a little worried that the food wouldn't be as good as the AC location, but that turned out to be a non issue. And in fact, the staff was WAY nicer than the staff at the AC location, no doubt due to the fact they this location is a little more low key. Don't let that confuse you though, they are still packed, and we got there just in time, because as soon as we sat, every other table filled up in minutes. I will stop by for breakfast every time I'm in the area. read more

The hotcakes are amazing... simple, fresh, and delicious. Inexpensive and high quality. The waitress Lauren is such a sweetheart and was very attentive, kind, friendly, and thorough. Quaint eating area. I love it here. read more

Came here for Mother's Day, service was good from most of staff except our one server. Didn't speak to us once after we ordered, her name was Colleen. We felt discriminated against and less than others around us. Now I'm home and with food poisoning. It was my first time here. I'm very disappointed. read more

Arrived around 9am on COVID summer SATURDAY. Immediately greeted with a smile and seated under tiki style tents outside. The morning air was dense with sweet buttery, maple syrup, pancake mix aroma! Menus were placed and offered basic/simple American bfast options. We ordered : Hangry man 1 : scrambled eggs + beef sausage+ blueberry hot cakes (pancakes) 2 Banana pancakes + turkey links Everything tasted... Just fine. Nothing more, nothing less. Which is why this place is good. If you're simply hungry, you simply come in, sit, and have a simple breakfast. Portions and speed service were NOT up to NYC standards but okay for me - given the fact we're in a pandemic. Butter on pancakes was pretty salty. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Price to taste to portion ratio within standards. Recommend! read more

Gilchrist Offshore Restaurant - World famous pancakes with bacon. Excellent! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Egg Harbor City, New Jersey

Went back again after too long of a break from here. Got the hungry man special #2 which adds the home fries to the two eggs, breakfast meat (cod for me), two pancakes. I forgot how good the pancakes were. They have to be the best I've ever eaten. Thinner style with awesome flavor. The wait staff is always friendly and efficient. read more

I had a server named Colleen. I hate to talk bad but I have nothing good to say about her. She lacked in customer service and was more open to serving my friend who was white as opposed to me. I felt unwelcomed by her and do not plan to come back due to this negative experience. Do better Gilchrist. UPDATE 2021: Just saw Colleen at Tropicana Gilchrist. Surprised she's still working with Gilchrist. immediately left because I don't wanna be served by Colleen nor possible employees like her. read more

This is a fantastic mom and Pop breakfast and lunch restaurant. Though I've never had lunch there, if breakfast is any indication of the quality of their food, you're in good hands. The staff are always smiling and accommodating, which tells me, this must be a good place to work as well. This restaurant is our family favorite, and one we haven't hesitated to include many friends and family members because we know they'll walk away with a huge smile and a full tummy! read more

Very well know local breakfast establishment, if you're from the area.. you've most likely heard of Gilchrist. No frills breakfast restaurant. Pancakes are always a hit here, they're huge! Service was great, sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. Only downside of sitting outside is hearing the noisy traffic on route 30. Parking could be a little better too, not many spots. Will be making a return to try more pancakes! read more

This is one of the absolute best breakfast places in South Jersey. Pancakes are a must here -- it's their specialty. We got two Hungry Man's and a Greek omelet. The price felt a bit outrageous (over $40 for 3 breakfasts), but it was delicious. Not a place to go if you're looking to be frugal, but definitely one of the absolute best breakfasts in all of South Jersey. *We did takeout because of COVID stuff, and it was ready FAST. read more

Best breakfast in AC. Pancakes are fluffy and delicious. All around great breakfast spot.

Pros first. Customer at this location was great. The staff and owners are very friendly. They take care of you and make you feel welcomed. They're talkative and not like robots that just take orders with a straight face and then leave. Now cons. The food was just regular. Nothing memorable about it. The menu options are just more of the same, with nothing exciting. The "hotcakes" were very thin, they offer 3, but all 3 could have been one good size pancake. The taste of the pancake was boring. It had blueberries dropped in it, but you would only know it was a blueberry pancake when you'd eat that part of the pancake with the blueberry in it. It either needed more blueberries or the batter should have been mixed with the blueberry to get the taste. The omelets where bland, the home fries was a good portion, but also bland. It was like diabetic food and I know this because my grandmother is diabetic. 3 stars only because of the customer service read more

absolutely my favorite breakfast spot, never disappointed. my eggs were cooked to perfection, the pancakes melt in your mouth, the Italian sausage has a nice kick to it, and the potatoes were awesome. as good as the food is, the staff is the cherry on the top. The kitchen provides the food quick and hot. the servers are attentive and very polite (even with the Jersey girl vibe) and you don't feel like a stranger when you walk in. treat yourself, stop by. you won't regret it! read more
