    Turkey special grilled was excellent
    Alex T.

    Lunch was chicken rice soup which was excellent and ended up getting a quart to go. Turkey special that I got grilled was delicious. Turkey was a little dry but overall a good option. Wife had tuna salad sandwich 1/2. She liked it. Service was friendly and good as usual

    Chipped beef

    We make a trip to The Village Kitchen every year--both on our way to Cape May, NJ and on the way back--and it never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding, and the service is just as excellent. This cozy spot is a hidden gem for breakfast and lunch. The chipped beef, in particular, is absolutely outstanding--easily one of the best we've had. Highly recommended!

    returned for breakfast a year later and it was good! we sat inside, but they have some outdoor tables as well. they have a lot of options including scramble bowls of all sorts, and lots of omelets. I opted for eggs on top of bacon cheddar home fries and they were really tasty. hubby had the farmer's omelet which had the home fries inside. he enjoyed it. the coffee was nice and rich, and our friendly server brought refills.

    First time I've dined here, but the rest of my party has been here several times for breakfast. It is cash only. The food was delicious, the coffee was tasty, and the service was over the top wonderful-everyone who waited on us was friendly and knowledgeable-made sure I knew certain ingredients were in what I was ordering, asked which kind of hot sauce was preferred, came back with both regular and decaf each time they saw our cups getting lower- honestly, the food was great but the workers are the reason I will come back!

    Two eggs over easy, shredded hash browns, crispy bacon, and a pancake

    We ate here twice in the three days we were in town. The food is fabulous, and the service was excellent. They cooked over medium eggs exactly over medium. The home fries and hash browns were both perfectly crispy. They only take cash, and they have an atm onsite.

    The Ambience, Food, Service from the younger waitresses was excellent. The season waitress behavior was with a questionable undertones. The food was delicious.

    Scrambled eggs, pork roll and home fries

    So good! Great service! Friendly staff! Food came out HOT and delicious! I really liked the home fries :) Pork roll was cooked perfectly. Easy to get to from OCNJ south end. Cute place I will definitely be back :) Oh- it is cash only so plan accordingly...atm on the premises if needed.

Servers were friendly and the service was good, although the kitchen was rather slow. Took forever to get our meal and it was not high season.

You certainly can't beat the view. Just make sure to fill up your wallet first. Breakfast for 3 before tip was $79.

We ordered French toast, the breakfast burrito, short rib toast and a grilled chicken wrap. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a must, I would go everyday just for that alone. 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.

We arrived just after opening and found seating very easily. Between 9 and 10:30 the inside started really filling up with folks, so if you're an early riser, stop in early. The staff was so friendly. We were seated in the back on the first floor at what appeared to be an old sewing machine table. The inside was clean and had a country vibe. Menu wise they have a ton of coffee options. Flavored lattes out the yin-yang including their Boardwalk latte series that has shore inspired flavors. I had the Cuban - Cuban roast, muddled sugar and steamed milk. It was flipping delicious!!! The breakfast menu had choices for all palates. My wife had an omelet, my mother a stack of pancakes with strawberries and our friends raved about the pumpkin patch French toast and veggie omelet. I had two over-easy eggs with rye toasted and pork roll. I know my choice was a safe pick, but I was happy with the comfort of the basics! Everyone devoured their food and left happy and full. The prices weren't terrible and the portions were large. I can't say a bad thing about our visit to Jon & Patty's. Thanks guys!!
