This restaurant represents southern New Jersey well for the diner culture. A cute and quaint diner right outside of Atlantic City, this diner has a family oriented appeal, with great prices and lots of food options for breakfast and brunch. The service was excellent-since this is a small diner, there is space available inside and outside the cafe. Eight to ten waitresses and waiters circulate to assist customers. There are about three to four cooks, with an open bar that accommodates other patrons. Decor is breakfast and beach themed. No reservations needed, but get here early to get a seat. If you come to this restaurant, come with an appetite! You will receive large portions, and farm to table options. There is something for everyone in terms of food selection. Hours for this restaurant are from 6am to 2 pm. read more

This place is nestled between a little motel and a run down house. The perfect setup for a nice greasy breakfast. Delicious, cleared my entire plate. Owner is also the cook on the grill; watching him manage all the incoming orders and being able to keep up was pretty impressive. Service was attentive. Definitely give this place a try if you're ever in the area. read more

The location is quite unassuming, tucked off the road next to an old motel, but The Cracked Egg Cafe is a sweet, charming little breakfast spot with sufficient indoor and outdoor seating. With maybe 4-5 outdoor tables covered with umbrellas, they were busy but still could accommodate the summer Sunday crowd when we went and service was quick. Their menu is very affordable and has all the breakfast diner staples, including a selection of breakfast sandwiches, omelets, and a kids menu. Their food was tasty, albeit a bit heavy on the butter. The location was convenient for us, not far from the GSP, and we'd be back if in the area again during the morning. read more

Went to this place for breakfast while at a conference in Atlantic City and it was pretty good. It was around 11am so I had a cheesesteak which was delicious. My grand daughters ordered waffles and enjoyed their meals. The service was prompt and the waitress to waited our table was pleasant. However, I got a weird vibe from the place. It sort of reminded me of Motel Hell. If you've ever seen the movie then you know what I'm talking about. One thing I know for sure, I won't be caught in that area after dark. That's for sure. But try it out if you're in the Absecon area and you just might like it. read more

The Cracked Egg Cafe is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. The breakfast is delicious, hearty, and portions so generous I ordered from the kids' menu. It also won't break the bank, which is a rarity nowadays. We walked in late morning on a gorgeous Saturday and were able to snag a table outside. Except very friendly staff, and on a beautiful day, definitely sit outside. read more

The Cracked Egg Cafe - Big Portions! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Galloway, New Jersey

TLDR: EAT HERE OR YOU'LL MISS OUT! On our way back to Philly from AC we stopped by this quaint breakfast spot I found on Yelp. 4.5 reviews and no slot machines or casino overstimulation, count me in! SO glad we stopped. 4 people ahead of us and we were seated in maybe 15 minutes. Our server Lindsay greeted us warmly. She was so friendly and had me at "pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes with house made cinnamon butter". WOWZERS those babies were thick like me! Delicious (also like me!). All of the food was excellent and you can expect hearty servings! This is a family owned and run business. Coco is the chef and a one man show in the kitchen. Let me tell you that we got our food faster here than we did at a casino restaurant the night before where they have a full kitchen staff. Food is excellent! Service is excellent! Conversation and hospitality excellent! And the prices...what's better than excellent...superb! Will be back for sure! read more

Old school breakfast spot with a slamming breakfast! Glad we got there early because it got busy. The omelette were so good and they did the home fries extra crispy. The Belgian waffle was ok. They refilled the coffee without asking. Service was attentive and felt very "homey" in there. read more

This is the 2nd time I've eaten here and the 1st time to review. A classic little breakfast spot right in our own backyard! It's a tiny place filled to the brim with people and stuff. I had "The Crackin" which was a tasty breakfast sandwich with egg, american cheese, bacon and home fries on a Kaiser roll. My friend had a breakfast platter with 2 eggs, bacon, home fries and toast. Everything thing was hot, fresh and delicious. We both had a nice cup of coffee as well. Service was kind and very attentive. The bill was only $23. I literally did a double take. What a bargain! Highly recommended. read more

Amazing brunch place and enjoyed the counter top seats and watched the cook flipped pancakes and eggs like a carnival show. The dishes we ordered such as the Breakfast Binge were excellent and a great portion. I ate a good amount and took the rest for next day breakfast. We totally enjoyed the conversation and the heart of the owner who rejected the tip we offered but asked we share it with his employees. Not a problem for such great service and food. read more

Had to give the Cracked Egg Cafe after seeing the positive reviews of this breakfast joint. The Food: I went with "The Breakfast Binge" as my entree with a side of scrapple. Firstly, the portions are huge! When I first saw the plate, there was so much on the plate! The proteins were cooked nicely and the eggs were cooked very well. Not over done or dry at all. The homefries were cooked with a nice crisp/soft ratio too. The Service: Service was great! Staff were friendly and attentive. No complaints. To pay, you just go up to the register. The Atmosphere: Its a nice and small cafe. You're met with the hosts outside to be seated, and depending what's available (Outdoor, bar or tables) you'll be brought in. Overall, a 5/5. I thoroughly enjoyed my time eating breakfast here. The service was nice and quick and the food was well cooked. read more

Food was delicious. Service was excellent and the food tasted amazing. Great place to get a good old school breakfast.

Stopped in around 11am on Friday morning. The restaurant was packed which is good sign. Sat at the counter and watched the cook work tirelessly to prepare the orders. The downfall was our waitress an older lady who complained the whole time and obviously didn't want to wait on us. The cook even served our food. She never once asked if everything was OK or if we needed anything? Just acted like we weren't there. The food was good, and the other two waitresses serviced they're tables very well. One and done for us! read more

I ordered the make-your-own-sandwich to go (sausage, 2 scrambled eggs & provolone on an everything bagel. This place was packed at 10am. There were probably 20 seats max, but the wait for people didn't seem bad. I needed to head on the road, so I needed my bagel fix, and this sounded like the spot. The staff, I would say, seems stressed out even though there seems to be at least 2-3 of them for the few tables. The rudest was this lady, but I'm not dining in, so I would feel bad for those she was waiting on. The one guy who knew what he was doing and seemed to be managing everything, including having to jump on the line to cook, was amazing. Too bad I didn't get to get his name. If this place falls apart, it would definitely be poor customer service, with the exception of that one guy who may have been the owner. Now for my bagel, it was yum. They did forget to put the ketchup I asked for specifically, but I didn't bother. The sausage was nice, the eggs were fluffy, the provolone was melted, and the bagel was Overall, yum! For a little over $9, it's a bit high if you think of what you can get at a local bagel joint but got to support these hidden gems! Overall, I might be back next time if I'm in the area. Would I drive all the way out of my way for it, nope. read more

We stopped in while traveling after reading many positive reviews. The food was fine and the staff was friendly but it was a little overhyped IMO. The location is at what appears to be a long stay motel and when we exited car my wife had a resident staring at her which made her uncomfortable. The parking area in the front of the restaurant was full so we verified we were parked correctly when entering, thinking that might be why she was being stared at. The restaurant was small with a lot of knick-knacks. Comfortable but not fancy. The food was good but wasn't beyond what I would have expected. It didn't all arrive at the same time, some toast was dropped and had to be remade and there was a delay with some other items. I might go back, it was pleasant enough but the price seemed high considering the atmosphere and food. read more

I enjoyed everything about The Cracked Egg Cafe. I invite everyone to give this restaurant a try. The instant I walked in, I was transported to what I have always imagined a small cafe must have been like in the 1950's small town U.S.A. Even though every employee was hustling, they all took the tike to greet me and my family with a warm welcome. I noticed that when their regular customers left that the employees wished them a good day by the customers' first names. The whole atmosphere was comfortable, and I also have to describe it as, "cute". The employees are a mix of generations that work well together, everyone pulls their weight, and they do it all with a smile. The menu is just right, not too small and not too big. We all had breakfasts that consisted of eggs, pancakes, French Toast, home fries, bacon, pork roll, ham, sausage, toast, and English muffins. Everyone one of us enjoyed everything we ordered. I had the eggs that I ordered over easy, and although I enjoyed them throughly, I definitely had a little French Toast and Pancake envy. I'll be making as many return trips as I can, so I can try other items off the menu. My hat is off to the owner and his staff. Keep dishing up the tasty vittles and continue doing it with the friendly service. Hope to see you again soon. read more

Nice little spot with great food and friendly staff. Been here a bunch of times and never had a bad meal. I also like the very reasonable prices! read more

The food was fair overall, though it looked more flavorful in the pictures than it actually was. The home fries were bland and really needed the sausage gravy for any flavor. The fries were tasty, and the burger was decent. The waffle was light and airy but lacked any distinctive flavor that would make me want to return. The pancakes were undercooked and had to be sent back. Unfortunately, the service was even more disappointing. The waitress's attitude was unwelcoming and left a very negative impression. After speaking with management, I left feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Basic food at best, paired with service that left me questioning whether everyone is treated equally. Black and Brown people beware! read more

Stopped here on way back from AC to get a bacon & egg on a Roll To Go. Very nice people, clean & welcoming. Maybe the best B&E on a Roll I've had in NJ. Side order of potatoes too. Small but cozy, bar stool seats at counter and 3 or 4 tables. Fast service and hot food. We will stop again. Only Breakfast and Lunch. read more

Very pleasant experience. Nice greeting, the pancakes were so huge, 4 people could easily eat off one short stack. The bacon was cooked to perfection! Brown and crispy, but not overcooked! It's a very small space, but it's perfect for intimate chats and for a little family Sat breakfast. Our waitress was kind and took very good care of us! read more

Service was great and quick. Food was delicious. Our server was very professional and nice.

My family and I visited from Baltimore over the weekend to celebrate my daughter's birthday. As we were heading out of town, we decided to stop at The Cracked Egg Cafe based on the great reviews. While the food ranged from fair to good, the service was extremely disappointing. Our server showed little engagement and attentiveness compared to how other tables were treated. We initially chose to overlook it and enjoy our meal, but when one of the dishes wasn't to our liking, we asked to exchange it for something else. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably rude and condescending, making the situation uncomfortable and disrespectful. When we finished our meal, I brought my concerns to the manager/owner. Rather than listening to my feedback, he told me to "calm down" and said he didn't need the attitude; completely disregarding my frustration and failing to address the behavior of his staff. As a Black man, I couldn't help but feel that our treatment stood in stark contrast to that of others in the restaurant. The entire experience left a deeply disappointing impression, especially given the positive reputation that brought us there in the first place. read more

Good food at a decent price. It does get busy fast. If parking looks available, you'll be fine.

Food was great. Reasonable prices. Service was great. Recommended if you are in the area.

Delicious breakfast! We both got "the feast" with scrambled eggs, a meat selection (I got sausage, he got bacon), home fries (AMAZING), and two strawberry pancakes. Everything was really really good, our favorite was the home fries that were crispy, perfectly cooked. The restaurant itself was very cute, it was a cozy place with about four to five tables and counter seating. The service was very good, food came out fast and the prices were also very reasonable. I'd definitely come back here, it was really tasty! read more
