    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's so nice to see that after nearly 2.5 years of leaving my last review, my photo of my delish…read moreBelgian waffle with bananas and strawberries is the cover shot!! 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!

We arrived a little after 10 and this place was packed. If you have to wait, you have to wait outside which is a bummer as it was cold but luckily they have a parking lot on the side. The parking lot fits about 8 cars and is tiny but it's better than nothing. We didn't have to wait long. They have a small bar area as well about 20 tables throughout the establishment. They have one of the cleanest old bathrooms I've ever been in. Our waitress was really nice and was quick to take our orders. I ordered the French toast platter which came with eggs, home fries and bacon for me. The eggs were real eggs which was a plus. The bacon was good as well. The potatoes needed some seasoning, as well as salt and pepper. They were lacking big time. Overall my meal was good. The French toast could have been bigger but for the price I get it. My wife ordered the Banana Foster French Toast which comes with a lot of bananas. Overall she liked it though. My daughter had the Meatlovers sandwich on a croissant. This sandwich was gone in less than 5 mins. She shared th same sentiments on the potatoes. Ketchup, salt and pepper are a MUST. Overall we had a good time and this will be a go to for breakfast over the expensive hotel casinos.

Well look no further than Kelsey's on Pacific Ave in Atlantic City New Jersey !!! The ambiance is so alive and bubbly, without being over the top or a distraction from your dining experience. The entire staff at Kelsey's move with awesome energy on every level. At every turn I was met with a smile, and a warm welcome. The band was taking request and kept the environment upbeat. Now let's get to the good part ? The food !!! WOW... I literally almost melted when I bit into the cornbread ( unreal how good it is ) and once I got to my salmon, over vegetable stir fry with rice... I was floored with how fresh everything was and how their season game was completely on point. ( FYI: the cabbage is so bomb ) If you're planning a trip to AC anytime soon... please put Kelsey's on your outing list and I promise you won't be disappointed !!!!

    It is with some reluctance that I leave this review. I have been a patron of the Brooklyn location…read moreof Simpson's several times and have always had a great experience. I have also visited the Atlantic City location once before without incident. However, this recent visit did not meet the standards I have come to expect. My reservation was for 7:00 p.m., and I arrived a little early. I fully expected to wait until my reservation time; however, my party of six was seated immediately. Upon arriving at our table, I noticed food stains on the tablecloth. I understand that changing tablecloths after every guest can be cumbersome, but when white tablecloths have visible stains, they should be replaced. When our waitress arrived, it was difficult to overlook the constant gum chewing, along with her less-than-welcoming demeanor. She was not rude or disrespectful, but her approach felt very matter-of-fact and lacked the level of hospitality I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. My party was celebrating a birthday, and although we did not notify the restaurant in advance, we expected to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. Unfortunately, shortly after our appetizers were served, four of the six entrees arrived while the remaining two guests were left waiting for theirs. I do not recall being asked whether we wanted dessert, which would have been an ideal opportunity to mention the birthday celebration and request the birthday serenade. Instead, the check appeared while dishes were still on the table. The food was excellent, as always. However, the service and overall ambiance fell short during this visit and did not reflect the quality I have experienced at this restaurant in the past.
