    I had a good breakfast here. I liked the biscuits and gravy. The service was good and I liked being able to look out at the beach while eating. The restaurant had a casual vibe.

    Cheesesteak eggs Benedict

    Had breakfast here twice while in Brigantine for vacation. Was an easy walk from my rental but finding street parking nearby didn't seem to be an issue. It's a quaint beach spot. The indoor dining room was bigger inside than I expected. We ate once outside and once inside. The service outside was much slower. When our food came out, we had to wait for utensils. Then I had to wait again for syrup. No sense of urgency. Indoors we had no issue since more attentive people passing by walking around. For food, I loved the Lemon ricotta pancakes. The seawall scramble was nothing special and the hash browns were average. The breakfast quesadilla was tasty and Philly cheesesteak eggs Benedict also average.

    Served frozen fish sticks for fish and chips.. Not just any the triangle frozen ones from Gorton

    My last trip to NJ lead me to be of my favorite spots down the shore. The menu at Pirate's Den strikes a good balance between seafood staples and classic American bar food. Whether you're in the mood for a fresh lobster roll, a hearty crab cake sandwich, or a simple burger, there's something for everyone. The staff at Pirate's Den are friendly and attentive. While it can get busy, especially during peak summer months, the service remains efficient and the staff seem genuinely happy to accommodate guests. The prices are reasonable for a shore-town restaurant, especially considering the quality of the food and the location. You can enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank, making it a great option for casual dining in Brigantine. Pirate's Den is a solid choice for anyone looking for a relaxed meal with great seafood in Brigantine. While it's not trying to be anything fancy, it delivers on flavor, hospitality, and a fun atmosphere. Whether you're visiting the beach or a local, it's worth stopping by for a casual bite.

    Diabolical turkey

    A pregnant woman's nightmare, Beware!!! Cold sweats and throwing up for days..... The Curse of Pirates Den, Brigantine At Pirates Den in Brigantine, we dared to dine, And what we found should never meet a spine. A turkey foul, a raw chicken snare, A pregnant girl trapped in culinary despair. Her brother and I, the diarrhea twins, Cursed by the kitchen's unholy sins. They served her raw meat, eyes wide with fear, She heaved in the bushes, a rock her veneer. The walls would shiver, the boardwalk weep, If only these horrors weren't ours to keep. Brigantine's Pirates Den, a legend of shame, Where every meal's a grotesque game. Oh, Pirates Den, take note--this tale we tell, Of nausea, disgust, and a rock-bound farewell. No plate, no dish, no chef survives, Your food's a terror that haunts our lives.

    Great breakfast! We went for breakfast this morning and had some pancakes with apples, french toast bananas foster and eggs Benedict over croissants. Everything was delicious and service was fast and friendly. But get there early because when we left at 10:00 there were filks waiting to get a table.

    Lemon Ricotta pancakes

    We've been staying in Brigantine for about 8 years now and we finally tried the Pirate's Den! Apparently they're under new ownership - the restaurant is so cute on the inside, and the food was excellent! Service was also wonderful. We will be back to try lunch and dinner, too! **Highly recommend the pancakes! (ours were Lemon Ricotta)

    This is a great place to eat. Friendly faces - got sat quickly and had a drink on the table quickly. Waitress could not have been more friendly! Food came quick and was delicious. A little pricey, but it's a tourist destination. My only complaint is the waitress never came back after she dropped the food. I had to flag someone down for drink refills. Other than that, an overall pleasurable experience. If you're in Brigantine, check them out.

    Patio, enjoy ocean breezes while you eat
    Steve H.

    A great breakfast spot where are you can sit outside and enjoy the ocean breezes and really appreciate the surroundings! Our group enjoyed the vegetable eggs Benedict, the seawall scramble and the western omelette today. Prices are good and the food quality is excellent. I would recommend getting here before 10 on weekdays and 9 on weekends, as the patio tends to fill up quickly. They serve lunch and dinner too!

    Cheyenne K.

    Got recommended this place and it did NOT disappoint! Service was excellent, Carrie was perfect! I like the spot and how it's right next to the ocean. The coffee was great, I got the churro pancakes a side of bacon. There was a good amount of bacon and it was crispy, the pancakes had a lottt of cinnamon, next time i would go for something simpler. Portion size was perfect, definitely bang for your buck. The bathroom was very nice and clean as well.

    Pumpkin Pancake
    Dolores A.

    Great breakfast experience with Lori as our waitress. Mike provided excellent service keeping us with fresh coffee & water refills. The entire staff was delightfully friendly & welcoming! Our food was fresh and delivered quickly. We enjoyed the meat omelette which was loaded and left our Mike with plenty to take home. Herlyn loved her chipped beef and said it was then"best" she's had! It was delicious, I must say as it was not thick & heavy and quite flavorful. My breakfast of boiled eggs, canadian bacon(3 pieces of juiciness) & perfectly cooked potatoes was very good. Since it is pumpkin season, I had to give their pumpkin pancake a try. Although tasty, I do prefer a more fluffier lighter pancake though. We will enjoy the Pirates Den again for sure!

    Would give 5 stars but they should inform customers it's Tues Senior day when taking their order.

    Sausage gravy over biscuits with eggs.
    Jeff R.

    What a great find, literally at the end of the road. We can always count on this place for a solid nourishing home made breakfast. The specials are often quite creative. The homefries are shredded just like I like! Service is always pleasant. This is a true hidden gem.

The place was beautiful but it does get crazy right at open for happy hour at the bar so make sure youre there early if you want that. There's literally a line waiting... We started off with the Shrimp Ceviche. It was super flavorful and tasted very fresh. Then we got the Grilled Octopus and it was FABULOUS! The flavor just encased your mouth when you take a bite. Its not overly chewy and the beans underneath made a great addition to each bite you took. I had NEVER tried oysters before and I finally mustered up the courage and tried one and im glad i did. It was delicious and im so glad they allow you to try just one so you don't waste money if its not your thing. The server was so nice to offer because I told her id never tried one. After that we tried the Maine and Manhattan Chowders. Both were super yummy and had a great taste and a good amount of clams.... another thing I had never tried before... WORTH IT. Then came the main course. I got the Flounder and Crab while my boyfriend got the Brazino. Both were so delicious and so light and yummy. I honestly can't say one thing i did not like about the food at this place. It was all so good. To finish off dinner, we got the Creme Brulee and an English Coffee to share. Again AMAZING. If you're ever down in Atlantic City, this place is a MUST GO!

I ordered a sauteed flounder fish platter which came with simple mixed vegetables and coleslaw. The fish was so moist and tender and swimming in a mildly seasoned lovely broth. The veggies were seasoned and buttery, simple and delicious . The cole slaw was homemade but unremarkable. $8.99 for this healthy meal. Sign me up! Spouse ordered the soft flour shell, fried shrimp tacos and boy were they huge! He asked for the slaw on the side so it wouldn't make the tacos soggy, and got two full-sized side orders of coleslaw with his two tacos. For $5 each. No frills just good food.

I opted for outdoor seating on a perfect late evening, and it set the tone beautifully. There's something special about this spot - it sits away from the boardwalk's noise and chaos, offering a much more relaxed, genuine dining experience. I tend to gravitate toward the same order here, and for good reason. The crab cakes are outstanding - generous with the crab meat, full of flavor, and absolutely worth the price. I paired them with a Caesar salad, a solid combination. I also ordered the fried shrimp platter - the batter was spot-on, the portion was generous enough that we couldn't finish it, and, impressively, it held up well into the next morning. That's always a good sign. Don't skip the jar drinks. I went with the cucumber basil, and it was wonderfully refreshing - the kind of drink that just fits the vibe of the place perfectly. The service was prompt and on point. If you're in Atlantic City and looking for a break from the loud, touristy strip, Back Bay Ale House is where you want to be. One of my absolute favorites in AC - I'll keep coming back.

The variety is great and everything we tried tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt like it had been sitting too long and the staff was constantly maintaining the stations. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. The staff working the buffet line were also all really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be there which makes such a difference. Food wise there were a lot of standouts. The chargrilled steak had a really nice flavor and the prime rib was super tender and juicy. The pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were light, bright, and flavorful instead of heavy. The mac and cheese is an absolute must. They use big shell noodles with a creamy cheese sauce and toasted breadcrumbs on top which gives it great texture. The collard greens were surprisingly one of our favorite things and we went back for seconds. So much flavor. The spiced shrimp is a hidden gem and definitely something we grabbed multiple times. The pizza was also surprisingly good. We tried the mushroom and spinach and it honestly tasted like something you would get from a really solid pizza spot not a buffet. The only thing I would say is the chicken parm is hit or miss depending on how fresh it is. If it has been sitting it can get a little soggy so I would try to grab it when a fresh tray comes out. Pro tip leave room for dessert. The dessert section is incredible. The gelato was rich and creamy especially the chocolate. The croissant cinnamon roll hybrid was flaky on the outside with a soft gooey center and the cookies and cream cheesecake was rich without being too heavy. I also really liked how the seating is set up. You can sit on either side of the buffet and choose between booths or tables which makes it feel a little less chaotic. This is definitely a spot we will keep coming back to when we are at Borgata.
