I was sold on either the lemon ricotta pancakes or banana foster French toast but saw a creative special " From the Sea" and I was sold . Omelette-ting the good times roll one shrimp at a time ! Yes , I think I could be a pescatarian. The omelette was filled with shrimp, cheddar cheese and cilantro with toppings of crab meat, avocado, and hollandaise drizzle. The sides were hash browns and toast ! The diner style hash browns were shredded and crispy. Best breakfast on the Island . Enough food for two days ! Holy shrimp ! The omelette is amazing . read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We've been staying in Brigantine for about 8 years now and we finally tried the Pirate's Den!

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

This is my go-to place for breakfast in Brigantine. I always get the Stuffed French Toast with a side of bacon. OK , maybe I'm a bit boring because I always get the same thing...but I really love that French Toast! I do always end up trying what other people in my party are having and everything is always great. Although I usually go for breakfast, I have also had dinner there and it was also very good. Staff is very friendly and attentive to me when I visit. Brigantine is a very family oriented town and they are the people who frequent the Pirates Den. I have also noticed a lot of regulars who are probably locals since there aren't that many restaurants in the area. It does get busy during summer so expect a wait especially at dinner time. Their decor is beachy, as expected and gives a nice vibe to their dining rooms. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Had a great breakfast and lunch here at the north end of Brigantine Island. This place has been a mainstay on the island for decades. Service was great. The remodeled interior has a modern feel and there was lovely seating around the outside with beautiful flowering plants. Food is your standard diner fair.

Best Hamburger and more! My family and I have been coming to Brigantine for 30 years and we always come for breakfast at the Pirates Den. We have had a few dinners as well and it is always great and very consistent. Recently, my wife and I wanted a burger with fries. We both had the bacon avocado burger with fries. I also started with their homemade French Onion soup. The soup was delicious and was not salty. It reminded me of when I had it in Paris. As for the burgers, I would stack it up against some of the top steak house burgers. They were delicious and quite big. It tasted like a mix of sirloin and brisket. Overall, they have a great menu and we have tried many items but this is the first for a burger but not the last. read more

The selling point for Pirates Den it is directly across the street from the ocean and the Brigantine seawall. Pirates Den probably has the best location for any restaurant on the island, or very close to it. They have a fairly large menu with a wide variety of choices. Pasta , Fish, Sandwiches,Breakfast. etc. I had the Brig Burger, it wasn't the best hamburger I ever had but it was more then decent. The French fries were quite good, crispy on the outside. My wife had a salad and that was good also. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. Pirates Den has early bird dinners on the back of their menu at reduced prices. They do take out also. 3.5 Yelp stars. read more

After years of coming to brigantine we finally made it to the pirates den for breakfast. I got the eggs Benedict which was pretty good. My husband got a club sandwich and brother got an omelet. We also noticed how many tables had French toast so of course we had to try it. It was good but not spectacular. I would say still worth trying. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with the meal and will hopefully be back! read more

The crab cake sandwich was very tasty. The crab cake itself was not dry unlike most crab cakes. The lettuce and tomato complemented the crab cakes very well also. The chips and coleslaw weren't the best as the chips where kind of stale and the coleslaw was to chunky. The service was pretty good and the ambiance looks like a modern kind of diner type feel. read more

We ordered: - Cheese steak - we had this both times we ordered, so good - Flat bread pizza with blue cheese, fig and balsamic syrup - Very good - Cheese burger - tasty - Strawberry and goat cheese salad - very good - Tuna - tasty but a bit bland, the horseradish sauce was a bit too strong I would recommend the Pirates Den. read more

Been here in the past but found they changed. The service is still amazing as well as the decor. I believe they upgraded their ventilation system too. The food is a disappointment unless if you appreciate seafood that is not fresh. It seems to be either frozen or canned. The steamers we ordered were actually cherry stones not actual steamer clams and were not fresh. The clam chowder tasted lumpy but not with clams. An unusual consistency. Our main meals which were not low in price tasted like they were premade and frozen. A real disappointment read more

Pirates Den only deserves one star for their young ambitious waiters but they deserve zero for their food. It was the worst food experience that my friends and I have ever had. The food was inedible. We went to dinner on Saturday, August 16th, 2024 and ordered seafood. It was all frozen and not fresh. I complained and sent my dish back which they said they would discount. They only gave us $12 off the bill. Then they proceeded to talk about us to other patrons which was extremely unprofessional. It was an overall really unpleasant experience read more

Another excellent breakfast today at my favorite beach eatery. The easy over eggs cooked perfectly. The scrapple was crisp on the outside and creamy inside. The potatoes were also crisp and creamy. Fluffy and huge short stack with butter and syrup and a side of perfectly toasted rye bread with butter make a filling breakfast to start your beach day. My wife enjoyed her scrambled eggs with side of hash browns and some of my short stack. Bottomless cups of coffee and tea to wash everything down. Appreciated the friendly fast service and reasonable prices. Be back soon. read more

Excellent breakfast and friendly people working there.We always stop there first when visiting Brigantine.

Doesn't look very nice from outside but the inside is super cute and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and all of the workers were very nice. This place is exactly what you would expect. Most of the breakfast menu is pretty generic for a beach town but it has some unique things. I got the sweet potato omelette which was very good. I wished the toast wasn't so heavily buttered but I guess I should have asked for no butter. It was nice that a good size meal was less than $10. It is rare that beach town food is less than 10 bucks. The lunch and dinner items looks pretty unique and really good too. Definitely a great local spot for the area and I would recommend! read more

Before I give my review, I am a former food & and beverage director of a casino resort. The service was good. the outdoor seating with the sounds of the ocean was great The food was horrible, borderline inedible. French onion soup: flavorless, topped with cheddar and american cheese, and OLD BAY, seriously? Clams casino: HAD AMERICAN CHEESE on it!! WTH?! The chef / owners can not be from Jersey. Crab cakes: all filling barely no crab could not finish, vegetables no flavor That was just my meal. My partner had the catch of day, which was dry, an inedible. I truly can not believe they are serving this food and think it's ok. I hate to leave this review, but it truly would not be right to let others go there without knowing how bad the dinner was. I heard the breakfast is fantastic. I hope and pray the owners & and chefs reevaluate the dinner menu because it's not working. I can't even imagine there was a menu tasting before they put this menu. I politely told the waitress, and she clearly saw we couldn't finish apps or meals. I also told the front desk at check. Again, I am sorry to leave this review because I believe in supporting small businesses, but this restaurant will not last under these circumstances, and it's a shame it's in a perfect location. Many moons ago, this place was the place to be. The name itself carries the weight, unfortunately the food sinks it. read more
