    Interesting concept... Arrived and got a table immediately. Ordered a Ruben, the portion was great. The ambiance felt like some kind of weird taco stand vibes, but with lunch food. The restaurant serves everything on paper plates, plastic silverware, and paper cups. Not really the vibe I was expecting. Felt like a picnic. Food was okay, portions were large .

    This picture amounts to about $40 worth of our breakfast.

    What a scam!!!! 4 of us ate four breakfast plates. The three in this picture and one more the final cost $100!!! If you take a close look you will see the meal is served with paper cups and plates! South Korea all the way to Prague. I've never had to pay $25 per person to eat off of paper plates. One thing they don't tell you is that any bill over $40 automatically includes a $25% tip. It didn't matter that the waiter only came to the table to take our order and drop off the food. We had to get his attention just to ask for the ticket.

    No service 11am on a Monday.the hash, bacon, and home fries were all just not tasty. No crisp on the hash, soggy bacon, bad service. Other food may be good , I'll never return.

    So, Im not thrilled about eating off of paper plates when dining out, but - hey - it probably saves them money. We had breakfast today - really good and hot pancakes (more like flap jacks), scrambled eggs, and an omelette, home fries, and toast. All very good!

    While in AC, why not find a random place to eat on the boardwalk to have an experience? Well, that's what I did for My Friends Diner. The look of this place isn't the best, but that's a part of the nostalgia for me visiting AC. It's definitely a "hole in the wall" type of atmosphere, not in a bad way. Sat at the counter area where I could see the cooks. The guys working here were quick as they could be and friendly. I ordered one of my safe go-to meals, shrimp basket w/a side of cheese whiz (unfortunately they did not offer other types of cheese fries). The food was decent.

    This is an excellent diner in a world of mediocre diners. It is not excellent because of the atmosphere even though the atmosphere is very nice but they just serve good food at a good price with great service. My wife and I as we celebrated our 49th anniversary together. We're looking for a simple place just to have some breakfast and this just really fit the bill. It was some of the best breakfast I have had in a very long time. I so appreciate the owners and the waitress, all bending over backwards to make sure that we had a good meal.

    The food was delicious, a regular diner place. The service was quick and attentive. Looks like a typical diner inside. Tip already included on the check (18%). Went there early on a weekday and was one of the few places that were open earlier on the boardwalk.

    I stopped by here while I was walking the boardwalk. The food was good and the cook had jokes. The service was good. I laughed at the paper plates and plastic utensils but I guess they are saving money. I recommend it.

    The service was good. Ate breakfast there, and it was good. Refilled our coffee before we left. Would eat there again on our next trip.

And I have to say, my review remains the same at 5 stars...JJ's Diner does not disappoint! Our awesome server was Mary Ann with an M ....she gave us friendly and warm service and she was very attentive. Our food came out hot and was delicious - - i had another waffle, but this time with just bananas - -and hubby had scrambled eggs and hash browns covered in cheese - - and he LOVED every bite as did I. And the coffee is just perfect! JJ's is a bright light and such a heavenly oasis. Everyone should be as happy and positive as the people that work at JJ's. They have worked hard to provide this consistently good food and service over the years. We will make it a point to be back again next time we are in town.

    Hi there Yelpers. This counts as the fourth time coming to this diner to enjoy their breakfast. On…read morethree of four occasions I enjoyed - thoroughly - their Sunriser. That's creamed chipped beef over toast with two eyes any style but I get mine poached or over easy accompanied by grits. Yes. Grits. Which explains my finally trying their sausage and gravy. Quite traditional dish I'm told by a Floridian friend who I had join me this past week while she visited. We agreed that the server was allowing us the time we needed to catch up with the right amount of follow up. I'd have liked to have my water refilled one more time. But that was on me for not stopping to ask as she poured another cup of coffee for my friend. I've had their coffee and it's delicious. My friend enjoyed the international omelette. She enjoyed it. The diner has its own parking lot with plenty of parking. The inside is eclectic but with definite typical Jersey diner vibes and the counter and stools to go with it. I've sat at the counter and the service is cordial and inviting. Quick too when necessary. Enjoy if you are coming to or from ACY as it's close and you'll feel satisfied either arriving into the area before heading to AC or returning home. Enjoy!

I found this spot called Maria's Lunchonette on Mississippi Ave. not far from CAESARS casino. They make the perfect breakfast at a reasonable price compared to what you would get on the boardwalk. I mean this food is actually quality! The customer service is great, and the venue itself feels Homey. It's like a classic type of diner out here. Nothing over the top like those celebrity chef places that charge an arm and leg for mediocre food... But a nice family style spot. I really enjoy the French toast here, some eggs and toast. I'm not the biggest fan of the pancakes to be honest they're kinda dense for my taste. Besides that, everything else hits nice! The place is always filled with people from all over enjoying their meals. It's like the hidden gem Out here. IYKYK The staff are always so nice and attentive.. We appreciate them much.. Overall, it's a great family ran spot where you can get a great home cooked meal in a nice, decent restaurant that's not overpriced. so if you're ever in Atlantic City and are looking for a great spot for breakfast or lunch, you should definitely try this spot. You won't be disappointed. Ok.. Have a great one yall! -Ray
