Good food - nice location. Good place for breakfast!
Eat here a lot in the summer. Gorgeous view accompanied by a friendly staff and delicious food it truly is a must stop!!
Definitely worth the wait. The staff is amazing and the food is incredible! We will definitely return the next time we're in Atlantic City!
Very good service with friendly staff and the food was excellent. Adequate parking and a nice view of the water.
Everytime I visit this restaurant I enjoy the food and hospitality. I receive smiles and great vibes. On 4/20/23 I was there having breakfast with my mother/co-worker, School Crossing Guard,(while I was working,at 8:00 am) I saved the life of a four year old little girl on Route 30- Connecticut Ave and Melrose Ave. She left porch steps and walked across the street. Cars of people were saying," There's a baby in the street!" My mother instincts,I ran with a sore back,knees and legs to get her out of the street. The mother /grandmother of the child sees me everyday. Never said,"Thank you". The waitress heard my story. She thanked me for saving a young life. Minutes later,the waitress and owner said," Breakfast is on us". I was shocked. I'm used to paying my bills. I said," Thank you" with tears. While this was happening,our Mayor,Mr Marty Small was sitting behind me having breakfast (business) with a friend. He didn't have any knowledge of what happened. " I would like to thank(Gilchrist Restaurant for acknowledging me and showing me love." I'm proud to be the person to take action (On The Job) at that time of morning. To the world and beyond, Gilchrist cooks great food! I should know, I'm a cook. I cook for myself, family and community. Queen JammyLou
Gilchrist is an AC institution. It's a classic breakfast place with delicious food and unbeatable views of the back bay and marina. The service is always fantastic and the crab omelette is perfection.
Breakfast on the bay, what could be better. The best blueberry pancakes in the world. A true gem of Atlantic City.
Went for mother's day- I was surprised how fast the service was even though it was busy. Food was fantastic as well
Food and service was good. Was very cold and windy. They should've out down the protective screen to make it more comfortable.
It was such a pleasure to eat out on the water with the food being so simple yet so great! Shrimp Po-Boy and blueberry pancakes were amazing along with their omelets!!!
My wife and I eat here everytime we go to Atlantic City. Great food, atmosphere and service. Perfect grits, vegetable omelet and potatoes. Expect a long wait time during busy season.
Had really high hopes for this place. Saw a bunch of reviews saying this was the place to eat in AC. Walking in I was even more excited as it has that fisherman’s vibe to it. Almost like a locals secret gem. Gem it was not. The food was all very average to below average. They claim they have the best pancakes and they honestly tasted like a box you would get from your local Acme. The over easy eggs were ok. My buddy got the scrambled eggs platter and didn’t want to finish it. Which he normal eats everything in his path. The staff was nice. But the bill was $61 for 3 people for breakfast. I live in the city and I am use to high prices but sheesh that was insane. Especially for the quality of food you got. Save yourself sometime if you are in AC and just go to a casino buffet. Better food and save yourself some money.
I love this place food is good, served fast and everyone is always nice.
Used to go here all the time. Went back for first time in 5 years and not only have prices doubled, they don’t put the prices on the bill and get annoyed when you ask for it broken down at the register. Still the best pancakes in the world though.
What a perfect breakfast place!!!! Make sure you visit here for the yummiest omelettes! I wish I could have taken pictures but when you have such fresh food, you dive right in! Amazing location - amazing staff - amazing food! Get up and go.
Light and tasty pancakes ruled the day in this small but comfortable eatery - service was superb!
Great place great food great service every time we go down to Atlantic City. That's where we get our breakfast
Another post shows only 6 tables. There’s more than 6, maybe a dozen. It’s March and there’s plenty of tables. I can see how it would get crazy in good weather. There is outdoor (enclosed) seating, but it wasn’t a day for that. I ordered eggs over medium with extra crispy bacon and peach pancakes. I got eggs over medium and the bacon was extra crispy. Pancakes were the wonderful peach flavor of the day. Hubby had a western omelet that he was very happy with. Service was fast and friendly. Everything was clean. We would go back.
The food was delicious the staff were friendly and polite the prices were great would eat there again next time I'm in AC
