Best Breakfast Restaurants In The Atlantic City, NJ Area (Photos)

Our wonderful team of listeners, readers, family members and friend foodies have assembled our list of the best breakfast restaurants in The Atlantic City, New Jersey Area.

As always, our list is incomplete and highly subjective in nature … nonetheless, it is a diverse representation of great meals and restaurants throughout the Atlantic City area.

My favorite breakfast spot is Gary’s Restaurant in Pleasantville, New Jersey.

My undisputed favorite breakfast item is the Eggs Benedict. It comes with oversized English Muffins and they’re generous with the amount of homemade (not from powder) Hollandaise Sauce (see below, from my recent meal at Gary’s on Thursday, October 12, 2023).

Catherine Nardelli wrote us about “Chicken and Waffles at Velo (Cafe in Ventnor) Yum!” (See below).

Chef Michael Dangelo picked Essel’s.

Jim O’Neill and a number of others selected The Gilchrist Restaurant, located in Atlantic City, Margate and Galloway Township, New Jersey.

Richard Sless picked Fitzgerald's Restaurant in Somers Point, New Jersey.

Tommy Howell wrote us Sorry, I'm partial to TW Howell’s. My dad and uncle are very creative and bring to Pomona and South Jersey some great cuisine.

No need to be sorry Tommy!

Sal Spena, the General Manager of Vic & Anthony’s Steak House at The Golden Nugget wrote us:

Janine Riggins wrote us “No Reservations in Galloway! They have a great menu and offer vegan & gluten free options. The vegan French toast on thick, soft ciabatta bread is amazzzzing!! You'd never know it's vegan.” (See below):

Mike Man says CJ's Cafe in Somers Point has the best French toast. Pictured here is peach mascarpone crumble with blueberries. You don't even need syrup with their unique selection of French toast but it's there for some extra sweetness. (See two photos below):

Gregg Knight Picks the Lil Goat. See photo below.

As always …

Bon appétit.
