1. Shea's Cafe & Bakery

Reviewed By gardening lover - New Jersey
We love traveling down to Shea's. It always has been worth our long trip until this last time. We waited over 40 minutes for our food. We only ordered omelets, nothing out of the ordinary. We felt this was entirely unacceptable and have never experienced a wait time like this in all the years we have been going here.
I feel it will be sometime before we go back.
2. Vic's Subs
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 94 reviews
Vic's Sub Shop has been serving up the best and freshest subs in South Jersey for over 70 years! Since we first opened up shop back in the 1940s, we've made it a point to use only the highest quality ingredients available. That's why we hand select ingredients like Boar's Head Turkey, roast beef, and ham, and Atlantic City Italian bread that's delivered throughout the day to guarantee that your sub is as fresh as can be. You'll even see us freshly slicing the steak for your hot or cold sub! And because this commitment to quality has always been core to our mission as a family-owned sub shop, you won't see us charging an arm and a leg for anything on our menu - be it one of our classic subs, burgers, wraps, or salads. Can't get away from the office for a healthy, hearty lunch? We'll happily deliver! And when you need a delicious, easy meal for your big meeting or special event, give us a call and ask about our incredible party trays. We look forward to serving you soon at Vic's Sub

Having grown up in hoagie-land and then moved to the Rockies, I have a regular craving for the great quality sandwiches of this region. When I come back to the Absecon/ACY area for work, multiple trips to Vic's are always in the plan. The sandwiches are very fresh, portions are more than generous (huge, actually), the bread is excellent, the service is fast and they have Tastycakes on hand. What more could you want from a sub/hoagie shop?!

Have shopped at Minos Bakery for years and love going there. The aroma of freshly baked goods hits you as soon as you open the door. My favorites are their wonderful selection of cookies and fresh pastries. They also make special items at holiday time which are great!

We were two couples with a 6:30 reservation on a Saturday night. We arrived @6:15 and had a cocktail at the bar. Seated at 6:25. Opted for the Brussel Sprout app (x2), burrata app and a wedge salad. All were delicious and generously portioned. Entrees were stuffed pork chops (x2), veal chop Milanese and a 20-something oz. Cowboy steak. Food came quickly without us feeling rushed. My veal chop was delicious. (They put some fresh thin sliced jalapeños in with the arugula to give it a little kick.). The girls said the pork chops were dynamite and I think my buddy is still there eating the steak. Lol. Everything ordered was great - our server, Anthony, twisted our arms to split a couple pieces of pie for dessert. Coconut Creme Pie and Banana Creme Pie we’re both the perfect ending to an already wonderful meal. Anthony was an excellent server with great recommendations. If in the area - get to Steve & Cookies!

6. Mambo Cafe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 79 reviews
Reviewed By VivianeSafwat - Mississauga, Canada
The place is so clean and relaxing though it is kind of cafe more than a restaurant.
The music they play makes you not want to leave.
The food menu is amazing, everything you think about eating: beef, chicken, salad, seafood, Mexican, kids meal, pastries, bakeries and coffees plus long list of soft drinks, the staff are amazing and smily.
We didn't had chance to try their food but my husband had an espresso and one pastry which he says was freshly baked.
Keep up the good job Mambo.
If I am in the area again, I will be back again and again.

7. Tacos el Tio
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Jeff W - Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey
Im really picky about Mexican food. To me, it can't taste homogenized. I like machengo cheese, not monterrey jack. This place has authentic dishes, nice vibe and strong drinks. Great guac, queso fundido and a great dish called chicken Ranchero. Creamy, spicy and stuffed with cheese and chorizo. Great chiles relleno too. The pictured drink, a Michelada, was terrible. Described as a Mexican bloody Mary, it was beer with tomato juice and a lot of lime. Bloody nasty! Couldn't drink it. The waitress asked if I would like something else and she charged me. Thankfully the food was great, as well as the margarita replacement.

My 45th high school reunion was hours away, but before that, we took a tour of our old school to check out the changes. Reunions mean reconnecting with friends of years gone by and so it was for us.
After the tour, two long-ago friends invited us to go to Ventura's, a place we used to frequent when I was a child with my family and a few years after that as a place to go for beer with friends. It was called the Rugby Inn back then, but has been Ventura's for some years now.
Ventura's gave us a quiet, relaxed place to catch up with our friends. Offering numerous local and area craft beers on the menu was a plus, and the food and service excelled.
Ventura's carries on the fine Rugby tradition.
9. China Sea of Absecon

Reviewed By Elman1952 - Atlantic City
We stopped in for dinner. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately.
The wonton soup was very bland, almost tasteless, but the wontons themselves were good and the broth did have some shrimp in it. The pan fried pork dumplings were very good, with a very thin dough, which I love. The general tso chicken was outstanding, but the kung pao chicken was almost all vegetables, with very little chicken and just a few peanuts. The little chicken there was tasted good.
Bottom line: Above average Chinese, especially for this area, which has so few good Chinese food options.

Went with a large group from the Borgata. Someone else did all of the ordering on appetizers ; the clams were amazing ! Also, he made caprese at the table somehow. As in , the buffalo mozzarella cheese was created before our eyes . I had sea bass as an entree which was insanely fresh and tasty.
HIGHLY recommend this place .
Small spot . l heard it is hard to get in but I did not make the reservations.
