The Customer Service is Excellent, Food is awesome and the atmosphere feels like home. This is my go to every time I come to Atlantic City. Atleast 3 times. This is worth the travel.

We stopped in here for lunch on Sunday with a group of six. The service was really good. She was really attentive and friendly. My group seem to enjoy their meals from some egg dishes the sandwiches. The hot roast beef was a winner. I ordered the cheesecake. I kind of wish I didn't order the lettuce on second thought, but in general, it was pretty good and I like that you can opt in french fries for an up charge.

The food is good diner food and the service is very good. Be sure to check out the specials.

Hidden gem at the Tropicana. It's located off the beaten path by the Chelsea Tower. I'm sorry that I've waited this long to try this place. It's a breakfast/lunch place. It has a seperate entrance from the outside as well. They have booths, counter seats and tables. I love diners and this place definitely has a diner vibe. Breakfast and lunch menu. I had breakfast and the chocolate chip pancakes were delicious. Server was awesome and the food came out quick and hot. Not as pricey as most casino places.

Came here on Sunday after checking out of Ballys. Needed some real breakfast instead of the fast food items. Place was packed. Didn't wait that long but we decided to sit at the bar. Everyone was so friendly and nice. I ordered 2 scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, bacon, grits with cheddar cheese & wheat toast. He got the Hungry Combo: 2 scrambled eggs, sausage and cinnamon hot cakes. Unfortunately they ran out of apple. Food was good-my favorite was the grits. The server who had on a LA Dodgers hat was very nice. Always smiling! Only con was I wished the food was hotter. It was lukewarm probably because it was so busy. I will definitely be back.

After reading reviews, we decided to go here. It was a short wait to be seated, the place has a diner look with counter seating. I ordered the French Toast with Bananas and walnuts, it was very good. My husband had the Italian Omelette, it was good also. Next time I'm in AC I will return for another meal.

Had their HOT CAKES and now I get it! I've heard about these super thin pancakes for years and now I understand that they ARE THE BEST! I tried the short stack & I might come back for more!

We love this place!! They are often busy but the classic diner quick service, hot delicious food and pleasant staff. Endless coffee refills and the best thin pancakes you will have. I ventured out and tried the French toast this time as it did not disappoint. The scrapple was fried to perfection and my wife loved the eggs. It's the simple things here that make deliciousness. It's on the corner of the casino, just outside the pool. It is an open clean design that we will continue to frequent. Great coffee--- get you buzzed for your whole day!
