    I ate here over the 4th of July weekend for breakfast. The service was spot on and my server Jocelyn was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Italian Sausage Omelette with a cup of coffee. The omelette and coffee itself was very good. The home fries that came with it needed more seasoning and flavor, which was easily fixed when I added a whole lot of salt. The restaurant from the outside looks rather dinky, but when you go inside you can see that it is quite spacious and very clean. They also provide free parking which is convenient. I overall enjoyed my experience and would dine here again in the future.

    While spending the weekend at the Tropicana Casino & Resort with my Mom, we were looking for a “non-casino” breakfast option. By no stretch of the imagination would I consider myself cheap, however, I cannot justify spending $50 + for breakfast for (2) people; especially for sub-par food. A quick Google search turned up Maria’s Luncheonette. We decided to be adventurous and give it a shot. A ride that took less than (5) minutes brought us to Maria’s; a small, quaint breakfast spot. The menu was posted on the window outside and the prices and selections seemed reasonable. We went inside and the place was jumping, not a seat in the house. We put in our name and within 5 minutes we were seated. We ordered and within 5-7 minutes our food arrived and it was incredible looking. My Mother and I were BEYOND pleased. The food was hot and fresh and the presentation was AMAZING!! Additionally, the staff was pleasant and attentive. Refilling our drinks, and checking on us to see how our food tasted and if we needed anything else. I always love an opportunity to support small business and Maria’s officially has become our go-to spot for breakfast in Atlantic City!!! RUN, don’t walk and get yourself a reasonable priced meal that gonna knock your socks off! Maria’s Luncheonette is AMAZING!!!

    Customer service was good. Servers were friendly, attentive and kept our table clean. Small diner type dining. Typical breakfast options. The only downside is the menu states Belgian waffle. The waffle is not a Belgian waffle. It is the thick batter. I personally do not like the thick malt waffles. Also if you ask for cheese in your grits be sure to ask your server if they have cheddar cheese. Provolone was put in my grits so I did not eat them.

    Friendly staff!! Smiles and polite for all customers. The place was very busy. Waiting line outside; however, we only waited about 10 minutes to get our table. Food came out hot, and portions were perfect size. We had a Western Omlet, corn beef hash, and the French Toast platter. Nothing fancy just good home cooking. Just took one star off since we had to ask to coffee refills. It would have been nice if the had someone walk around refilling cups.

    Great brunch diner experience, had the pancake breakfast sandwich. Pancakes were fluffy, and the sandwich was a nice blend of sweet, salty, and savory. Highly recommend

    Oh. My. God. This place was incredible for breakfast. The waffles with the blueberries, strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream were incredible. Drizzle with some of their syrup and 🤪 The potatoes were excellent and cooked well. The corned beef hash was perfectly made. Everything was outstanding and the staff was all very friendly and smiling. Will definitely be back. Can’t imagine anywhere beating this place for breakfast.

    I came to Atlantic City with my friends to see a concert and we ended up here for brunch. Absolutely fabulous food! Delicious breakfast all day long. The Italian sausage omelette made me so warm and happy. They have a giant selection of hot sauces. The staff are all incredible. The atmosphere is classic comfort. Thank you so much! 💜🕊️🌈

    Wanted to get a lunch, went off the boardwalk was not disappointed. Mom and pop feel, family works there. Orders from locals non stop, was busy but our service was friendly and food was perfect! Ordered the club for lunch, they let's us split it. Came back next day was perfect! Had the big breakfast and Diana was very nice!

    Maria's Luncheonette was very delicious. It was not crowded, and we were able to seat ourselves immediately. The staff was extremely friendly, patient, and nice. Food came out quick and hot. The restaurant was very clean. Definitely would be my top breakfast spot to visit when we return to Atlantic City. (2022) We returned again for breakfast this year(2023) on our anniversary trip. Still good food & excellent customer service. Seats were available as well as free parking. It's definitely still one of our go-to breakfast spots.

    This establishment is one of those small Mom/Pop spots that serves amazing breakfast in the AC area. The place looked packed. Although there was a wait time when our party arrived, tables were available within 15 mins wait time. The staff was courteous and food was well made. Definitely recommend a visit.

    I ordered through UberEats. The grilled cheese bread is super stale. I would expect the delivery food to be not as hot as it would be if I was at the restaurant but my order was extremely cold! Their French Toast is dingy and advertised as if they are fluffy and great. I asked for French Vanilla Ice coffee and they gave me black ice coffee and being at a hotel I don't have any French vanilla, so my coffee for the morning is ruined. The bacon was soggy and it had that kind of fridge taste to it. I also asked for extra syrup, butter, & napkins. I received 4 small packs of butter, 1 container of syrup and 2 napkins (yes 2). I wouldn't recommend ordering from here nor will I ever order from this establishment again, that is my experience.

  • 5/5 Frank S. 6 months ago on Google
    Great experience and good home made cooking. It's is home away from home. A break from restaurant and sit down to enjoy coffee and a home meal with politeness and very attentive staff👍. You will be greeted and also good bye thank you for coming. Excellence...I asked if I could get oatmeal without milk and very nice and quick they cooked it for me.....what a way to make me feel good and satisfied of course I ordered baked Italian sausage omelet and it was really good. Small Parking in left side of building otherwise street paid parking or paid parking next door. It is a must if you want to feel super happy before casino time and have a good vibe .we are coming back again since we visit AC casinos frequently......thank you Maria's luncheonet staff members we really appreciate your kindness and happiness

    Maria’s serves only breakfast until closing which is around 2:30 pm. The Spanish omelette was hearty and satisfying. I wish the bread was toasted at the very last moment (or maybe not buttered since there was butter on the table anyway) so that it would still have the crunch when the plate arrived. The home fries had good crispy brown bits.

    Would recommend. Food was delicious a great amount of fruit for the extra fee. Food came out quick. Went on a busy Saturday and it was not that long of a wait. 20 mins was really 10. The bathroom was clean for how frequent the one room was used, but had no hand soap.

    Love having brunch here before heading back to NYC. Generous portions. Waffle is not what I expected cos it’s not a Crispy and fluffy type but I still enjoy it with all the fresh fruits and yummy ice cream. Kids love it 😍 Will come back. Thanks!
