My family and I went Atlantic City for Labor Day weekend and after spending a good amount of money for food in the hotel and on the boardwalk we opted for a more reasonable place to have breakfast our last day there, and that is when we found on google maps this cafe. We drove there and the place is small there's about 4 small tables to sit and eat at. Our waitress Makiyah was nice as she took our orders. My son ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, and French toast which he devoured. I ordered scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage gravy, and turkey bacon, which was good and hubby ordered scrambled eggs, ham, home fries with toast. And we all wash it down with a nice cold Snapple. If you are looking for a reasonable spot in the Atlantic City area, check them out, I do recommend. It will do the trick. Cheers read more

Wanted to find a black owned spot in AC to get some breakfast and I came across some reviews for Mikes B's Cafe. Let me say I'm glad that i found this little spot because the food was delicious and reasonable. I will definitely be back in the future. I went with the crispy cornbeef hash, sunny side up eggs and home fries. Babe had the Famous Breakfast Bowl. We definitely enjoyed our meals. The place is small but there are tables to dine in. We took ours to go due to time. Services was great especially since it was just the two of them working. read more

Food was a 10/10! We had to order our food to go because there wasn't any available seating. The sitting area is small and seating is minimal. Keep in mind it's a made to order restaurant so there is wait, but our food was definitely worth the wait. We ate in our car out front of the restaurant as we were only in town overnight and headed home. I had the French toast egg sandwich with turkey ham & provolone cheese and it was the perfect blend of sweetness and salty. Just delish!! My hubby had the omelet combo with fried potatoes and it was healthy size portions and he says it was seasoned to perfection! 4 stars b/c it would've been a better experience to be seated to enjoy our meal ! read more

if you eat makes you feel like you're at home. I suggest you try this place out. It's very small but home like the service is great and you pretty much get what you asked for. You can see that the community loves this place because it's always busy, but the ambience is so family like. If you're ever in Atlantic City swing by and give Mike a try I worth it. read more

Mike Bs Cafe - Whiting Breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Atlantic City, New Jersey

7/8/24 We needed an inexpensive breakfast since we've spent way too much for breakfast in the resorts. So I googled and yelped somewhere close or on our way out of AC. We had to park in the strip malls parking lot and walk over. The area is a little sketchy, I would not want to walk through in the dark... We got to the restaurant and it really is a hole in the wall! There were several fans on high, no AC. We almost turned around and walked out, but we were hungry and it's just breakfast, it shouldn't take long. There are 4 two seater tables and 1 that can hold 3 but has supplies on it. There was just another couple there when we walked in. As we ordered and waited a party of 3 and 4 walked in and grabbed the other tables. Another party of 3 sat at the bigger table but walked out after a few mins. Too bad for them, they missed a good breakfast. 2 meat platter - Corned Beef Hash and Sausage with 2 Eggs, Home fries and Toast - corned beef was crispy, unlike other places that serve them soggy. Home fries were delicious, I usually never touch them, but these were so good. The 2 Eggs were nicely seasoned, you don't see that elsewhere. Shrimp and Grits were perfect - I honestly was not expecting fried shrimp but it works and was really good. The grits were perfect, not watery and not dry, also seasoned so I didn't have to fight with the bowl to flavor it lol Watermelon Lemonade - I like finding different flavors of soda/juice not usually found in north Jersey/NYC area hehehe Mike was nice a nice guy. Definitely give him a try, you won't regret it. read more

Was looking for a quick breakfast place while in Atlantic City. I can't say this place was quick - it took them 15 minutes to take our order and another 15 minutes before the food was served up - but the food was delicious. The store itself is a little confusing as it originally looks like a order at the counter and sit down type of restaurant, but they actually have full fledged table service. Yu pay at the counter either way. - Hungry Man Sampler - This was so much food and can comfortably feed two people. The home fries were quite good as it was flavorful and wasn't too dry. I appreciate that they put a lot of pepper over the eggs. I didn't really care for the bacon or turkey bacon as it wasn't as crispy as I would've hoped. - Biscuits & Gravy - Is this the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had? I think yes. The biscuit itself was light but also buttery and went very well with the gravy which was thick with chunks of meat inside. I feel like usually with this dish, it feels too heavy but this was actually surprisingly light and filling. I would just get this dish next time I come. Very solid place especially for biscuits and gravy, and will definitely come back earlier in the day when there are less people. read more

Sooo glad for Yelp assisting me with finding this gem of a place. I was looking for a local breakfast spot in the city to venture out into away from the Boardwalk for a little and came across Mikes. They have street parking and a couple small tables inside. What they don't have a shortage of is great prices and even better food. I went with the Famous Breakfast Bowl. It contained 2 eggs which I had scrambled, my choice of meat (sausage patties), homemade turkey sausage gravy and some home fries. This thing was a masterpiece all for $9, this place rocks!! The home fries were delicious and I can appreciate a good sausage gravy that was smothered underneath and was the star of the meal, kudos to them for using turkey sausage to make it healthier. I couldn't recommend this place enough, more people should know about it. They only have maybe 2 people that work there but the young lady was helpful and very friendly when I walked in and sat down, get you some Mikes! read more

I was in the area with some friends and decided to check this place out since it had pretty good reviews. At first glance the food looked pretty good! But honestly it wasn't the best. I thought I could play it safe with getting pancakes, but it didn't really taste like anything with a hint of meat? The pastrami sandwich was mid and the sauce was way too sweet. The breakfast bowl was super bland too. Maybe we just got the wrong things, but the server was really nice at least! read more

I found this one on Yelp too. I was looking for breakfast/brunch. Originally, I had planned to have a sit-down meal before going to Little Water for a distillery tour at 1pm but spent way more time than expected at the outlets lol. Everything in AC is pretty close in proximity so I was in the restaurant about 6 minutes after finding it on yelp. I had about an hour before I needed to be at Little Water which was only another 5-7 minutes away. I ordered a breakfast platter with eggs, sausage, potatoes, and toast as well as chicken and waffles. The service was kind but very slow especially for such a simple meal. At some point I thought I would miss the beginning of my distillery tour. All in it took about 40-45 minutes to get my food. I rushed over to the distillery and had about 10 minutes to have a taste. Everything was well seasoned and absolutely delicious! The chicken super crispy and had what I think was hot sauce in the batter which made an excellent compliment to the perfectly sweetened (not too much) waffle. Worth the wait and I would come back! read more

Incredible breakfast sandwich. Totally hit the spot and exactly what I was looking for. Small place and nothing fancy but we were in the mood for a delicious breakfast sandwich and it over delivered! He even pressed the bagel so it wasn't thick and annoying to eat like it would usually be which wasn't expected! In and out in just a few minutes with great prices. Definitely check it out if you're in AC and looking for a quick bite. read more

I was livid walked nearly a mile from my hotel to arrive to a closed store that said it was open. I called and someone picked up and hung up without answering. Please update your website if you are no longer open. Should have taken a photo to add. Really disappointed since the reviews were good we were really looking forward to eating here. read more

Food - the food was excellent and super reasonably priced. (I think it was $12 altogether). He cooked it right up for me on the grill after I ordered it and brought it out. Service - this is clearly a local place and well-known in the neighborhood. He was very speedy and cooked up several to go orders as I was dinning in. Ambiance - it's smaller with about 3 tables and no frills. It's very cozy, clean, and friendly though. read more

Ambiance: A place the locals eat. A deli or small dinner feel. I loved to watch the interaction with Mr. Mike and his regular customers. Food: the French toast was dry. I spit the greasy chicken out although the chicken did have good crisp. The potatoes was cold. The biscuit was a can biscuit!!! Take that off the menu. A can biscuit. The eggs and Turkey bacon was the only thing good. Service: the young lady at the counter with the locs was so very sweet, patient and knowledgeable. She was perfect. read more

The most flavored filled deliciousness of breading on shrimp I've ever tasted. The shrimp and grits were on point. Don't let the look or capacity of this place discourage you from grabbing a satisfying meal. There are three two person tables inside to eat in. Breakfast is a must. (This is the second place I would ever eat grits at) read more

Good food reasonable prices. A break from casino food which is high priced and rarely worth the cost.

Went here today with my husband after reading the great reviews on the food last night. The reviews did not fail on this one. We had chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits and sausage biscuits. Everything was favorable and delicious The sausage biscuits are to die for. They reminded me of my grandmother sausage & biscuits from South Carolina. The waffles were crispy and soft. Chicken was seasoned to perfection. Absolutely delicious. The shrimp was seasoned the same. Great! Grits were made smooth and good. Will definitely be ordering anytime we visit. Great job! And many more blessings to this establishment. read more

Nestled in a side street off of the main strip, Mike Bs cafe is worth the trip! The owner and cook, Mike, was awesome. He cracked jokes and made some of the best short order food I've ever had! He sat us even though he was about to close. He took our orders while making us laugh. Then he pushed out the food in less than 10 minutes. It was a great experience, will come again! read more

I came in town for the weekend and saw this place had a good review so I decided to try it. Always willing to support a small business. When we went in to the place it was empty besides one other lady there sitting at a table in the corner as you walk in. When the guy working there finally finished his conversation with the other lady (side convo about their weekend) he asked was we ready. I answered and started telling him my ordered. He interrupted me and said I asked were you ready? I repeated yes and he said ok and walked away. I was ok. So then about 2 mins later he asked what we wanted. After giving out order I went and sat down at in the chair by the door. The man said ma'am the waiting area is over there. Mind you it was about a foot away from where I was seated. By the establishment being empty besides on lady already sitting in the waiting area I don't understand what the issue was with me sitting a foot away in another chair. I wanted to just walk out then. But I decided to just wait since we've already ordered. Once we got our food and paid the guy told my wife I forgot to charge you for the extra wing. She stopped what she was doing and asked him how much do I owe? He said don't worry about it. She said are you sure it's not a problem. The man responded what did I just say I told you don't worry about it. So at this point we were just looking at each other like what was your point in bringing it up then. But anyway we left and the food was less than. The fired chick was salty AF and the French toast sandwich was bland. When we come back in to Atlantic City this establishment will NOT be on my list. read more

Mike Bs Cafe was a fantastic find in AC! Food was fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the fried chicken wings and waffle and highly recommend it. I want to try the fried shrimp next time since the seasoning/breading was perfect on the wings. Waffle was flavorful and filling. Good selection of cold drinks available. My boyfriend had an Italian sub which he said the loaded meat was fresh and it was good soft roll. There is limited seating but it was clean and service was friendly with smiles! Thanks for a great meal! read more

Staff was awesome. Had breakfast. Food was like home made. I would definitely recommend it. They have a small sitting area and do takeout.

I stopped in here on a Saturday morning while spending a weekend in Atlantic City with a friend. I'm a foodie and couldn't turn down a place with shrimp and grits on the menu. The very casual atmosphere is a plus. The coffee was good, the man behind the counter although he was busy was friendly & patient since it was our first time there. I ordered shrimp, grits & cheese eggs. Everything was hot, delicious & fresh. The portion of shrimp was great for the price. The shrimp was seasoned well and fried to perfection. Just a delicious meal all together. If they were open on Sunday I definitely would have stopped in for the chicken & waffles, so I guess that means I'll have to go because soon to Atlantic City so I can try that dish! read more

The food is excellent, but Mike go back to the original waffle mix that's my only change. I've had the Philly omelet, French toast, chicken & waffles, fish and waffles & its excellent, but the new batter for the waffles doesn't work for me. Love the location very quiet. Its a mom and pop restaurant not upscale dining more of a cozy environment. The service is good, but a tad slower on Saturdays because he's fulfilling take out orders. You'll love it!!! read more
