    On my last visit to Atlantic City, I stopped into the Somers Point Diner, which is about 25 minutes south of AC. As a history buff and fascinated with the rich music history of Somers Point (Tony Marts,etc) stopped into the diner for a quick meal. It's a Jersey thing, nothing too fancy just a decent meal at a reasonable price. Clean seating area, friendly waitress-Thank you Katy for being so friendly.

    Fried Chicken

    We arrived at 5:50pm and by the time the waitress arrived and we ordered it was 6:04pm - she would not allow us to order off the early bird special which ended at 6pm - not a big deal but disappointing. My dinner companion order the burger off the dinner specials - it did not come with anything extra such as soup or salad or a dessert. I ordered the fried chicken basket - the chicken was actually tasty but the free salad that came with it was horrible. The lettuce was yellow and literally contained 1 tomato piece and two cucumber pieces - the rest was yellow lettuce. The bread basket had 2 small prices of stale bread and 2 extra small stale cornbread pieces .... the water glasses are on the smaller side and required multiple attempts to get the waitress ' attention for refills. We both received fries but my platter had twice as many - despite both items costing the same. The place looks recently renovated but the chairs are original and shaky .... no extra napkins were given or ketchup for the fries.

    I hadn't been here before this morning in over 25 years (then, after a frat party w my ex boyfriend & my best friend - we posed as a threesome for fun ... we were stunning - all eyes on us - ha! youth!) No reason really - I changed and my palate got pickier maybe? Great location & prices. Regardless, very good food, service, and diner overall. Our waitress, Marlene, was super friendly & even gave me aluminum foil to wrap my uneaten sausage for my dog. I had my "go to" - PANCAKES! Very fresh, fluffy, & tasty. The eggs over easy were cooked perfectly too. Everyone else equally enjoyed their meals. :)

    Somers Point Diner has been around forever, and we always make a yearly stop for a reasonable and easy dinner. The menu is your basic diner fare - burgers, sandwiches, comfort food entrees and breakfast at any time of day. There is also an early bird dinner that includes dessert. The food is good and served by friendly staff. I wouldn't say it is stellar food, but still tasty and enjoyable. I typically get the Chicken Croquettes, but went for the Strip Steak today. The rest of my party enjoyed the meatloaf and felt it was good. If you are an early bird or have room after a regular entree be sure to get either the rice pudding or bread pudding. I love the old fashioned feel of the place. It's looking a bit worn, but that never stops me from enjoying the food or appreciating the history of this historic diner. A great place to take small children too.

    When I got to the Point Diner on a Sunday for lunch, it wasn't too crowded. That as surprising because usually, lunchtime on a Sunday morning is the most crowded time for diners. Atmosphere: The exterior of the Point Diner is a retro, shiny, and a stereotypical diner. The Point Diner looks like it's been around for quite some time. The interior of the Point Diner has plenty of booths, tables, and a full-length bar.  There appears to be a giant room in the back with the ability to host parties. Coffee: The Point Diner coffee was brewed hot and fresh and the waitress refilled it often. I couldn't have asked for better coffee. Food: The Point Diner menu has everything you expect in a diner menu and nothing more. There aren't many healthy options, but there are plenty of omelets, wraps, and dinner options. I was craving pork chops, so I decided to order those. The pork chops came with two sides and soup or salad. I chose a salad and beets as my side. The salad was bland and I was thankful I didn't order it as my entree. The beets were from a can but fine. When the pork chops came out, I was excited because it was a large portion. Sadly, they were dry and not as good as I hoped. Service: The waitress at the Point Diner was friendly, but the food took a while to come out. You would have thought the diner was jampacked full of people. Overall Thoughts/Would I come back? I didn't dislike the Point Diner, but there are a lot of other options that I like better. The food was decent, but it was nothing unique or unusual. Somers Point and Ocean City are both nice spots if you are looking for a pleasant shore getaway and a diner along the way.

    A great go-to seafood spot in Somers Point - just across the bridge from Ocean City…read more The clam chowder is always good. Usually get the New England style but the Manhattan is good. Or you can get it mixed. I almost always get the baked seafood in wasabi soy sauce. It's perfect. The baked flounder is really good too. Get any of the seafood starters. Try the clam strips and cod bites. Favorites. It's cash only. A byob. And the place is no frills. A diner like atmosphere. No air conditioning. Can be long wait - but you can drink in the parking lot while you wait.

We've had both before, and they were still excellent. I find it amazing that this place cooks every seafood perfectly - every time. Last night I decided to go with something lighter and ordered the seafood salad. I didn't really know what to expect, and it was a surprise to realize how good it was! A cold orzo salad with shrimp, crab, calamari, and scallops over a very small bed of lettuce and tomatoes. I mention how small the bed of lettuce was because I expected it to be much more lettuce and less seafood. Let's just say I was not at all disappointed! Every bite had seafood - and the light vinaigrette was perfect. I just added a few extra squeezes of lemon since I love lemony vinaigrette. The portion was generous and I had leftovers for lunch. We also had a dozen steamers. My partner had the fried oyster platter - cooked perfectly. I wish we had room for dessert, but maybe next time!

My waitress recommended the short rib and I loved it. The breakfast burrito was also really good though I wish it had bacon instead of chorizo but that just personal preference. My sister isn't a breakfast person and she liked her grilled chicken wrap. And we all shared the French toast which was good as well. As a girl from Pittsburgh, I also loved that they had Heinz ketchup. The staff was great. It was busy the whole time we were there. We will definitely be going back.

He took our order quickly and came back often to the table to see if we wanted anything else. When I read the menu before coming I knew I really wanted to try the tacos. Between my wife and I we got to try 4 types: - Tuna: This was delicious. One of the best tuna tacos I've ever had. They used a nice strip of good tuna meat and seared it with a nice spice blend. - Mahi Mahi (grilled), Mushroom, Shrimp (fried): all were very good The only reason for only four stars was the price for the tacos. Compared to other restaurants that sell tacos they run roughly a dollar more than most establishments. However the quality of the tuna in my opinion does justify the higher price.
