A happy hour event was also on the calendar for Thursday, meant to be a cheerful punctuation mark on a long work week. Then came the news: Wingcraft had closed its doors forever. No warning, no farewell, no wings. It is strange to feel stood up by a restaurant, but that is how it felt. One moment there was a place with burgers and beer flights, a hum of televisions and bar chatter, and the next there was only silence and a locked door. We were left wandering near the Convention Center, hungry and confused, like pilgrims whose holy site had vanished overnight. I give it two stars because once upon a time, the food was decent and the beer cold. But the sudden disappearance left us stranded, and the city felt emptier for it. Atlantic City is cruel like that, swallowing places whole and leaving only echoes where the laughter used to be.

We started with a couple of apps- Wings,, Mexican Street Corn Guacamole And Chips, and the Short Rib Tater Tots. All were fantastic. We all had different entrees shrimp tacos, California Reuben(sooo good), Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, Short Rib Grilled Cheeese/came with a side dipping sauce with the perfect amount of heat, Last but not least the terrific Cali Burger with chips Can't really tell you about the drinks we all drank water besides my hubby that had a house IPA he said it was good. They are also very accommodating they will put the game you will like to watch if you ask. All in all a great experience, will definitely be back.

Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall continues to be a favorite spot in Atlantic City's Orange Loop. Located…read morejust off the Boardwalk on Tennessee Avenue, it perfectly captures the laid-back beach-town vibe that makes this neighborhood so special. Great for a solo diner or a group or family. I stopped in for dinner around 6:15 PM and, as always, the atmosphere was welcoming. There's indoor seating, a full bar, and a fantastic outdoor space complete with games, a fire pit, and one of the best music playlists in town--often accompanied by live entertainment. It's the kind of place where locals and visitors naturally mix together, creating a fun and friendly energy. One thing that always makes me smile is the sign when you walk in explaining that the bartenders and servers may be outside and asking guests to let them know they've arrived. Honestly, who could blame them? With the fresh salt air coming off the Atlantic Ocean and the outdoor atmosphere they've created, it's exactly where I'd want to be too. Tonight I ordered the crab cake platter, served with garlic French fries and coleslaw. The crab cakes were very good, packed with flavor, and the fries were crispy, garlicky, and absolutely delicious. A simple meal done right. Everything was fresh and appealing, I eat small portions so I took one crab cake and some fries home with me. I did ask about dessert, nothing was available, I don't do sweets frequently, I'm surprised they don't request Momma Chocolate, at Bar32 to make some extras for days they are closed. My server, Bella, was upbeat, bubbly, and attentive throughout the evening, adding to an already enjoyable experience. Parking is easy, with both free and paid options nearby, plus curbside access. Whether you're a local looking for a regular hangout or a visitor exploring beyond the casinos, Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall is well worth the short walk from the Boardwalk. Highly recommended for good food, cold drinks, great music, and some of the best local vibes in Atlantic City.

Seeking out live music on a Saturday early, we made our way to the Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall for a…read more7pm classic rock band. They have Happy Hour 1130-1 and 4-6 M-F, which we missed. They also have a great $25 dinner special on the weekends, however we weren't looking to eat that heavy. But the live music on weekends at 7pm brought me in without the specials. We started with a down East blackberry cider $8, and a wanderback Hugo pilsner $7. We took our time sipping slowly while the band's set up and began to play. I think our server was more eager for us to make a food order than we were to eat yet. But when we finally did order, we chose a Tennessee Avenue tycoon salad and the "Phish" grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas. The salad was fresh but ordinary, with grilled chicken, blue cheese, egg and bacon. Spouse opted for some sort of orange dressing instead of the normal avocado dressing, perhaps it was the same one I loved on the fish tacos, a chipotle aoli. The Phish tacos were on soft corn tortillas that needed more time on the flat grill with a little oil to crisp them up! The fish was nice and white with good sized pieces in each taco. The cabbage slaw inside was wet, mashed avocado and so was the aoli, so a little gloppy but good even if it fell apart. These tacos are normally served with a side of chips, so I asked what options I had besides potato. Our server happily volunteered a grilled vegetable side which I loved until I found out it was an $8 upcharge of which he didn't inform me when ordering. That's an extreme amount, for not advising the customer prior. We stayed for a second round, I had another blackberry cider because it was delicious. Spouse switched to the Blue Horizon Kolsch, but apparently it was high test because it was $10. It was a lovely evening but, room for improvement. The band was fantastic, played all our favorites and we stayed a lot longer as a result of the great weather and the lovely picnic tables in the "garden". The beer hall has done a great job making this a fun hangout!

I found Kings Pub on Yelp while in Atlantic City. The establishment was easy to find and had a…read moredecent amount of parking. I entered and made a beeline straight for the restroom because I had to gooo . I quickly discovered the bathroom doors were locked and required a key code. Next thing I know, the bartender, Domingo, starts yelling from behind the bar and then comes around questioning why I was in the establishment. He made it very clear that the restrooms were for paying customers only. I firmly replied, "I plan to dine in, but need to use the restroom first. Is that a problem?" He didn't seem too happy with that response and walked away. As intended, I sat at the bar and ordered wings and truffle fries. The food wasn't particularly memorable, but the wings were a decent size. The truffle fries were fine, but nothing that stood out. Antonio clocked in about halfway through my meal and was a breath of fresh air. He was friendly, attentive, and completely changed the tone of the experience. Overall, it was a good visit with decent food and great service from Antonio. Unfortunately, my first interaction with Domingo left a poor impression and took away from what otherwise would have been a positive experience.

When I saw the menu I saw they had a Crunch Burger, which I had previously tried at the Yankee Stadium, and really enjoyed. While looking at the menu, I saw that they also had a different burger. A brunch burger, which included a fried egg and bacon. I was caught in the middle because I really would've enjoyed to have a Crunch burger with a fried egg. I don't eat bacon but I like the Fried egg and I'd also like some chips in there I tried to explain that and it was a bit difficult to get that order done. But In the end, I got a cheeseburger with a fried egg and some chips on the side. The Burger was once again, amazingly delicious. I just stuffed some chips in there on my own and devoured it. I also got an order of Fries.. They were ok.. I would've preferred them a bit crispier it seemed the condensation from the Box made them soft/almost soggy.. Maybe don't cover them in the container? I dunno. The Milkshake was delicious though.. It had great flavor and texture.. I'd give the Burger a 9 outta 10.. (make a crunch burger with a fried egg and it's at 10) The fries a 7 (Crispness counts) Milkshake gets a 9. It was definitely very delicious.. One of the best I've had and will get again! There it's is! That's my review! Have a great one! -Ray

The cashier was attentive and answered my questions about the type of burger such as it is smashed or not; she said it was smashed so I ordered my beef crunch burger well-done based on that information. I also wanted to know if the sauce was spicy, etc. It seemed that most are spicy. They were out of the pistachio milkshake at just before 5:30pm which was a good thing for me in the end. Avoid one more temptation. *wink* To receive your order, you must have your receipt on hand as each order has the order number attached. Once your order number hand written on the receipt is called, then it's brought up to verify it is indeed your order and to avoid any mix ups. They will not hand you your order without the receipt they gave you. There's even a sign at the cashier to be sure folks are aware of the policy. The crunch burger was not so much a smash burger as a regular burger on a delicious brioche type bun. So, unfortunately do not expect to have those flat, crunchy edges to go with the crunch of the potato chips added to the burger. The fries I ordered with the burger were plentiful and satisfying. These satiated my hunger with the side of spicy ranch and mayonnaise as condiments. There is plenty of seating and no need to feel rushed in that area. As such, it's a good place to spend a quiet time breaking bread.

I'll play first and eat later. Come back perfectly on time and what do I see? Couple that was still in the line when I made my reservation before them - was getting seated. And we had to wait another 10 minutes for the next table. After that it takes 19 minutes, yes I timed it, before server shows up at our table for the first time. I would have expected appetizers to be served at that duration. Later, I timed same thing for the neighboring table, still 14 minutes. I understand about being understaffed and overbooked. But in this case manager was present at the front and had not 2 but 3 greeter girls available. Why one or 2 of them did not convert to wait stuff? R just close half the tables. But no, we will keep running with a reduced service available. Guess what do I see next? Another busy server working exactly half the tables in my proximity who refuses to even stop by for a second. Nope, they each have their own tables and do not share tips - so he has absolutely no interest in helping those that are half a step away. And this is my favorite moment of the visit. By the 19 minute mark we both had made complete food decisions and were ready to go for beef Wellington. However, we learned from another visitor that dish is not cooked to order, but it's a conveyor. You might get that perfect serving or you might get completely cold undercooked meal that waited 30 minutes for you. Just get a steak, and order a custom readiness level: this way one will have to be next to it most of the cooking time. So, we get couple burgers with truffle fries and calamari. I'm looking for the menu section for English ale, and the only choice is Guinness. This is the moment where we should have left, but there would be not enough time to eat somewhere else decent. Calamari is ok, only ok. I was expecting something much better. I can easily take you to 3 places in central NJ that will give you best calamari of your life. Drinks came after app. So, even bartender is busy???? The truffle fries is the only start I'm giving this place in my review. But I guess that they come pre-seasoned in a frozen package, so it's hard to mess them up. Burger had a really good idea of combining pulled meat with your typical hamburger, and it would have been great it patty was cooked to order. I think mine was seating in a warm drawer for ages and then microwaved. Just good enough to eat. Overall this is the worst Gordon experience I've had, hint: try fish and chips place in Vegas. I will not be coming back even if some else is paying. Gordon, I would love to make you the best burger I can at home, then serve you some of the best ale and scotch money can get, and then we can drive to AC and shake up this place. PS. Manager was made aware of all troubles we had and yet did not made any attempt to play bullet out of you-know-what by offering round of drinks or cutting the bill in half. PPS. I run out of Guinness and server was never around to order a replacement. This alone cuts the tip in half in my books.

Overall, the service was good and the food was tasty, making it a worthwhile stop.
