    A little disappointing considering how big this chain is, the location of the restaurant itself, and the prices of the food. The chicken sandwich was quite clearly just a frozen chicken patty thrown on a brioche bun that was 25% bigger than the chicken. It was fine, but certainly not homemade and certainly not worth $16. Had a Caesar side salad since the fries didn't look appetizing at all and the salad had maybe a teaspoon of dressing on it. This all would've been fine for your typical hole in the wall drinking spot, but not so much here.

    Best thing about this place? Location and cocktails! You access it through the boardwalk or through the walkway and it has access to the beach directly from the restaurant. There is even an area where you can enjoy your cocktail with your feet in the sand which usually makes a cold beer or cocktail so much better.⛱️ There was music being played by what sounded like a live DJ with a little dance floor right on the sand. However, the other reviews on the food are correct. The food was just decent and not why you would expect it to be. While it's not terrible and priced right for what it is, it's closer to standard bar fare. While I couldn't recommend this place if you are looking for a quality meal, I do recommend grabbing a drink and enjoy the views.

    Bartender Lorraine should find a new career she does not belong in this business at all. Rudest worst service I’ve ever had. Her excuse: she was really busy! There was no one there and she was showing the new girl how to wipe down at end of night. Asked to speak to the manager and Michael was too busy cashing servers out to deal with a customer. 20 mins later he came out offered no apology and was equally as arrogant, ignorant and rude as the bartender. I recorded that entire conversation and you can find it on you tube. I will also be sending to upper management so they can see how they are represented. Clearly this manager and bartender do not belong in hospitality. The food was overpriced frozen junk. I would avoid this place at all costs! Zero Stars!

    My family was in from California and we wanted a place to hang out for lunch. We were a party of 8, but only me and my two kids were there. I know normally they need most of the party to get sat but the host was amazing and sat us so I could order food for my kids while the rest of our party arrived. We were a very needy since I had it all..Spanish speakers, Children, elderly and me. Gladly we had a Gem of server/bartender in Jessica. We were the table that needed something every time she came by. Jessica did all with a smile. Great service is a lost art. It's why we go out to eat. To get taken care of. Well she did just that. My family had a great time. Thanks Jess....

    Such a fun place to be to really get a feel of Atlantic City. Right on the boardwalk & on the beach, the restaurant is accessible from both sides. There’s usually a beach party with a DJ on the beach and while minors Under 21 aren’t allowed for the party, they can sit up on the deck and in other parts of the beach. The cocktails are awesome. The perfect margarita is strong but awesome. It only comes in one size because of the strength of the alcohol. If you’re not driving and can Tolerate it, it’s a must try. The food is okay - just so-so but I’ve still rated the place five stars because for me, it’s the overall experience that matters

    We went for dinner last night and again today for an afternoon drink. Their location is absolutely perfect. Right on the boardwalk and overlooking the beach and ocean. Drinks are excellent and creative. Menu leaves a lot to be desired but we were happy with our meals overall. Will certainly return again.

    I checked the reviews before to be prepared, I need a good place to sit with 4 kids, so this one had nice opinions about food and staff etc . But then , after waiting a couple of minutes we were sitted outside, which I really like, we ordered our food and drinks in one time, nothing special, just fried stuff for kiddos and sea food combo to share .. we got our drinks after 20min waiting and then ... I'm still waiting for food ... ordered once more drinks and again 20min waiting with apologies from the waitress that is taking so long . . She said she is still busy with food.. she ? 😒 I didn't blame her, but please, if you are located in the middle of Broadwalk, you should know that people are coming non-stop there ... so .. after kiddos cry and I was pissed as hell 1 hour later we got our food .. don't get it , it's more like some snacks bar than restaurant .. wasting time :/

    Tried their Crab Cakes and Chicken crispy sandwich. It was delicious. Best part of this restaurant is their service. Angelo was our Server and like the name indicates he was like an Angel 😇. We had a very nice experience in terms of the service we recieved. I would have given an extra star for Angelo 😊. They have a dance floor set up in beach which is adding more fun. 😊

    Never been to a bar that had The Bold and The Beautiful on the TV! Chicken sandwich was barely adequate. Asked for it without the bun, because why do you need bread on a breaded piece of chicken, and clearly the staff had no idea how to plate that! Drinks were great as was the bartender, Jessica. She was very nice, professional and working like a whirlwind at the busy bar. The stranded dolphin on the beach added to the ambiance. So glad MMSC was called to care for it.

    Service was actually great! Servers were attentive, food came out hot & tasty and atmosphere had good vibes. The reason I’m giving 3 out of 5 stars was because my Chardonnay was served warm and not chilled and the ladies restroom was atrocious with a missing door.

    Nice spot right on the Atlantic City beach. Open air seating table service and half indoor outdoor bar. Great adult beverages especially loved the souvenir blender cup. And it’s $8 more but you get $6 off your second refill. Big size and comes with a handle and lid which every cup needs! No food service at the first bar but it adjoins to restaurant/bar combo by short walk thru the gift shop. Resorts Casino is on the opposing side of the boardwalk. Service was on the slower side. But one bartender was friendly and personable while the other ignored us at the first bar. Our waitress was great! Food was good. Fried pickles were our favorite. Warning Caribbean burger is very spicy! 🌶

    Girls Trip to Atlantic City would not have been the same without Vuk & Hugo serving up our drinks at the bar all weekend! Both Vuk & Hugo were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and provided such a fun atmosphere during our time there!! 100% we will be back for another trip ASAP for a Banana Breeze and Strawberry Daiquiri 🍓🍹

    9-17-2020 - I had a philly cheesesteak with fries and a salad. The cheesesteak was very good but not a lot of meat on it. It was small. The fries was very good. The salad was not what I ordered. It was supposed to have had chopped greens and they used store bought bag salad and the chicken that was in it was very tough. Service was great and we was able to set overlooking the beach area which was nice.

    Had a delicious lunch AND dinner in the same day here. Food was amazing. Service was incredible. Stephanie at lunch and Wilbourg at dinner were both exceptional servers that ensured a great experience both times!

    I love the vibes at this place. It makes me feel like I’m on a vacation somewhere farrr far a way. The burgers were good, I recommend getting beers here since we ordered margaritas and they weren’t that great and were watered down

    One of the best times . I have ever had. Bartenders Jess and Christine hands down were so amazing. Friendly and attentive. Amazing food . I will definitely come back ever time I am in Atlantic City!!!!

    A bit pricey. $43 for 2 burgers n fries with one soda and tap water. They were tasty but the bun was cold and hard. Would have been better if it were warm or even toasted a bit. Food was hot and fries were good. 45 minute wait with only about 12 other diners in the restaurant. Waitress was good but I took one star away because of the nasty young punk kid that was rude to my wife when she was trying to pay our bill. He was too engrossed in his cell phone to be polite.

    First off, my boyfriend and I googled reviews on this restaurant prior to visiting. We figured since there were so many 5 star reviews, our experience would be great considering the beach is footsteps away. Upon entering, there were two Caucasian females at the entrance. Neither one acknowledged us. They were conversing about one being a new hire and how the customers will love her because she’s so “Great” at what she does. They literally looked at us and continued to converse. I’m not sure if one was off the clock or whatever the case is, but it’s completely unprofessional to disregard customers. After a minute or two, they both walked off and we were standing there waiting to be greeted. A woman came out, had us seated after two mins because they were cleaning the table we’d be seated at. A few minutes later, we were greeted by our waitress. We placed our order which included appetizers, main entree, and drinks. It took about thirty minutes JUST to receive our drinks. We spent over an hour and a half waiting on appetizers that didn’t come out until after our entrees. We inquired what the delay was, and was given three different stories from three different waitresses. One mentioned that there were new chefs hired, who didn’t know how to make a lot of the orders. That’s fine, because we all need to have patience as things take time to work, right? Another waitress mentioned the chefs had to remake the appetizers but failed to specify on what exactly was the reason our orders had to be remade. The coconut shrimp was decent, but I honestly feel it was because we were beyond famished, as we waited over an hour and a half for food. My boyfriend had the “Seafood Combo,” which literally reminded me of the frozen Gorton’s fish you buy at supermarkets. Attached are the photos of our meals. His fish looked as if it were refried, and our fries were mostly burnt. What shocked me about this whole ordeal, was the fact other guests who arrived after we did, were served first and in an efficient manner. We felt as though the staff were literally picking and choosing who to serve. Our waitress didn’t receive a tip and I’ll explain why. In that hour and a half of waiting, she checked on us ONCE, which we felt was beyond unprofessional. It doesn’t hurt to reassure your guests that although there’s an issue, you’re doing your absolute best to change the narrative so that this won’t happen again in the future. We spoke with a manager who didn’t charge us for the HORRENDOUS appetizers. Although we’re grateful for that, it doesn’t satisfy us that this was our first experience and definitely our last. We understand that everyday won’t be 100%, but in the same breath, this is an establishment that is showing us their food is a reflection of what’s really going on in the back. I don’t think corporate would appreciate the fact that plates like these pictured are being served, nor do I believe they’d appreciate the lack of customer service. Also, your staff should be aware that when it doesn’t seem “Busy,” it’s not the time to converse about non related work issues, especially when your guests can hear you. When the appetizers came out, we were beyond disgusted. My boyfriend ordered the “Peel & Eat Shrimp,” which states they’re “…served hot and topped with Old Bay® seasoning. Served with our house-made cocktail sauce.” They failed to mention that the shrimp aren’t cleaned AT ALL, and it’s literally sprinkled with Old Bay seasoning. Where is the originality in that?! I wouldn’t waste my time, nor money at this restaurant ever again. It sucks because you guys have the blueprint; a huge restaurant overlooking ocean views, so many staff members, and you all have dropped the ball. So many issues that need correcting, and I’m hoping someone from corporate can visit and shed light so you can bridge this gap. Another issue I noticed is the lack of cleaning when a guests leaves. I was very disappointed by the napkins and food all over the floors outside, especially on the actual beach. Again, you guys have the blueprint. You have to do better!!

    This restaurant has lots of seating and great views. The drinks were good and I loved the nacho platter. I found the fries under seasoned and service was kind of slow.

  • 3/5 Rujuta M. 7 months ago on Google
    I liked the fish tacos that got! The drinks were pretty small in portion, we got a cosmic getaway and a few others. I feel the tacos could have more filling and sauce. The onion rings were great can’t complain, the fried chicken tenders were good too! The service was a bit slow and there was good music. The restaurant was clean with decent washrooms and a gift shop from where one could by souvenirs of Landshark. I did feel the restaurant is a bit pricey. The most concerning thing was there were no vegetarian options and my friends who don’t eat meat stayed hungry. I would also want more desserts and mock tails on the menu! Lot of room for improvement. Don’t recommend for vegetarians and teetollers but otherwise it’s not bad!

    We ordered food from the bar to eat on the beach and it was just perfect. It only took about 25 minutes on a Thursday at 2. We ordered from the kids menu which was only 12 bucks. We also ordered a salad and a burger and everyone was happy. Great location and no issues! Great job!

    Long waits suck. After being told we had to wait 20minutes but we ended up waiting 5minutes!! The kitchen and bar were both backed up during our visit which made things take forever to get. We waited over 60 minutes for food. But people that came after us got their food before us! What the heck! My sister in law ordered a strawberry daiquiri which was very weak of a drink. But the waitress was pleasant and helped us! Overall the food hit the spot. Would recommend.

  • 4/5 Renee G. 8 months ago on Google
    There was a steady flow of ppl here.. very busy place, which is a good thing. The drinks are very good and they have a nice selection to choose from. The food was good and our waiter was helpful too. We just wanted to grab a quick bite to eat so it was perfect for that. 👍🏼

  • 5/5 Dawn T. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the best experience, thanks to my Amazing server Michelle! She was extremely accommodating and helpful with my questions. She brought our drinks and suggested we get the Nachos. They were delicious! The fish tacos were awesome, too. Thank you for your great service, Michelle!! 10 out of 10!

  • 1/5 Jain, J. 5 months ago on Google
    Long wait for the food. Overpriced. The shrimp wasn’t cleaned. The black vein was in every piece. The salad was just a bunch of wet lettuce. Clearly understaffed. The birds eating off plates and tables that hadn’t been bussed yet was next level awful! I can only imagine what the health inspector would say. When they were cleared they just wiped the tables with the napkins left behind. Disgusting and completely unsanitary. Save your money and time. Plenty of better choices in the area.

    Off season atm, but the food and drinks were on par! Prices are not too out of line. The nachos are a killer app! Great view on the beach.
