1. Renault Winery
$$$ | |In operation for more than 150 years, the Renault Winery has become a destination in its own right encompassing an 18-hole golf course; Château Renault, a 55-room hotel; festivals and seasonal events. Dining options include the Renault Wine & Beer Garden; the Parisian-inspired Café la Fleur, perfect for pastries, cookies, and coffee drinks; and Taste 1864 which offers classic American fare. To get here from Atlantic City, take U.S. 30 west for about 30 miles.

2. Amada
$$$ | |The rustic atmosphere of the Atlantic City outpost of Chef Jose Garces's tapas-style restaurant is the perfect accompaniment to a night out at the Ocean Casino Resort. The Spanish-inspired menu includes dishes like bacon-wrapped dates, Spanish omelet, crab-stuffed peppers, and seafood paella, but if you're feeling really hungry opt for the chef’s tasting menu or the suckling pig.

- Great place for dining with a group
- Atlantic Ocean views

3. American Cut
$$$$ | |If your wallet and cardiologist allow it, a trip to the steakhouse at Ocean Casino Resort will reward with bone-in ribeye, Wagyu strip steak, rack of lamb, crispy Brussels sprouts, and a fantastic raw bar. This is dining at its most decadent, where you can choose whether you want your steak topped with grilled shrimp or crab meat, and it's all brought to you by Marc Forgione, a superstar chef with a midas touch. As with most steakhouses, the decor doesn't shy away from the rich and robust. Banquettes are leather, dark wood dominates, and the open kitchen gives full view of the hard work that goes into preparing such feasts.
500 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-783–3000Known For
- Steak, steak, steak
- Fresh raw bar

4. Angelo's Fairmount Tavern
$$ | |Open and run by the same family since 1935, Angelo's in Atlantic City's unassuming Ducktown neighborhood is reason enough to get out of the casino; it's only half a mile from the Atlantic City Boardwalk. Locals flock to this long-time favorite for Italian standards like chicken parmigiana, stuffed shells, and lasagna, as well as steaks and seafood.
2300 Fairmount Ave., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-344--2439Known For
- All menu items available for take out
- Great Italian-American home cooking
- One of the best places to take kids in Atlantic City
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch, Reservations not accepted -
5. Angeloni's II
$$$ | |In the traditionally Italian Ducktown section of Atlantic City, this restaurant serves family-style beef, veal, and seafood dishes. The braciole (rolled veal stuffed with sausage and cheese) is perennially popular, the wine list is extensive, and the kitchen is open late on the weekends. Its brick exterior certainly doesn't impress, but inside is a welcoming, if minimally adorned, dining room that recalls the mom-and-pop eateries that used to be common throughout town. The surrounding neighborhood has seen better days. It's advisable to drive or take a cab.
2400 Arctic Ave., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-344--7875Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted, Daily 11–11 (until 1 on Fri. and Sat.), Reservations essential -

6. Bill's Gyro Souvlaki
$ | |It isn't fine dining, but for fast meals and late-night cravings along the Boardwalk, those in the know turn to this lilliputian food counter where dollar bills stand in for wallpaper. They sling burgers and dogs, but simple Greek food is where they excel. Grab a gyro on the way to the beach or back from the casino, or opt for a quick breakfast, which is served all day long. In the summer, they're generally open 24 hours a day.
1607 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-347--2466Known For
- Generally open 24 hours a day
- Breakfast all day long
- Gyro and fries

7. Borgata Buffet
$$$ | |Casino dining often equals buffet and buffet often equals disappointment. At the Borgata, they strive to remove the disappointment from that equation. Hand-carved prime rib, sirloin, a variety of shellfish, Chinese standards, sushi, salads, pasta, tables full of desserts—almost all the usual suspects are here (sorry king crab leg fans). Popularity keeps everything fresh and the room rates and table minimums at the casino keep the quality high. The dining room is pleasant, with deep comfortable booths, but its more functional than fashionable.
One Borgata Way, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-317--1000Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Mon.–Thur. 8–8, Fri. and Sun. 8–9, Sat. 8–10, Reservations not accepted -
8. Chef Vola's
$$$ | |Small, intimate, and exclusive, this Italian restaurant draws a seemingly endless stream of regulars. The steak, veal, and homemade pasta dishes earn high marks, as does the service and the homemade cream pies. The only problem is landing a reservation as they give preference to those who have dined with them before, or to those who at least know someone who has dined with them before. BYOB.
111 S. Albion Pl., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-345--2022Known For
- Hard to-get reservation
- Family-style dining
- Homestyle Italian dishes
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Reservations essential -
9. Dock's Oyster House
$$$$ | |Owned and operated by the Dougherty family since 1897, the city's oldest restaurant serves seafood in a setting of wood and stained glass engraved with nautical scenes. Sample from the raw bar, try the flounder stuffed with crabmeat, or test your mettle against a hulking steamed lobster (they sell them up to 7 lbs). The wine list is expansive and reasonably priced. A must for anyone in search of a taste of old Atlantic City.
2405 Atlantic Ave., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-345--0092Known For
- Happy Hour 4--6 pm daily
- Seafood-centric menu
- The oldest restaurant in Atlantic City

10. Dolce Mare
$$$ | |It'll be hard to tear yourself away from those amazing ocean views, but when you do, you'll be rewarded with a delicious Italian-inspired menu of handcrafted pasta, fresh seafood dishes such as tagliatelle al frutti di mare (scallops, prawns, blue crab, and clams), and delicious "carne" options like chicken parmigiana or the 14 oz NY strip steak. Be sure to make reservations well in advance, especially if you want a seat by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
500 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-783--8000Known For
- Great ocean views
- Reservations are a good idea

11. Gilchrist
$ | |Watch the boats come and go from dockside in Gardner's Basin as you linger over a breakfast of Frisbee-size blueberry hot cakes or omelets and grits---some think it's the best breakfast in town; for lunch, there are sandwiches, hot dogs, and crab cakes. The food is obviously just as good inside, but it's worth a wait for a seat on the dock. There's another location at the Tropicana, as well as two other New Jersey locations.
804 N Rhode Island Ave., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-345--8278Known For
- A longtime Atlantic City staple
- Dock seating overlooking Gardner's Basin
- Great spot for breakfast

12. Harley Dawn Diner
$$ | |This may be 30 miles west of Atlantic City, but for meatloaf that tastes homemade, mashed potatoes, and fresh seafood it's worth the detour. Pies and bread are baked daily and the rotating soups specials bring regulars on certain days to slurp their favorites (chowders and bisque are especially popular). You can get breakfast here too, and a kids' menu is available.
1402 Black Horse Pike, Folsom, New Jersey, 08037, USA609-567--6084Known For
- Breakfast all day
- Local craft beer and wine list
- High quality and seasonal local produce
Restaurant Details

13. Irish Pub
$ | |Steps from the Boardwalk, you'll feel like you stepped into a time capsule at this former speakeasy turned Irish pub. It's a great spot for lunch away from the casinos serving traditional pub fare like sandwiches, salads, and burgers, and there are numerous beers on tap as well as an Irish gift shop.

-
14. Kelsey and Kim's Southern Cafe
$$ | |A friendly soul food and barbecue joint that has become a fast favorite in a town with an endless stream of fried chicken and waffles coming out from the kitchen. Located just south of Gardner's Basin, it makes for a good pit-stop when you're coming to town, or going home.
201 Melrose Ave., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-350--6800Known For

- Fried chicken and waffles

15. Knife and Fork Inn
$$$$ | |The historic Flemish building that holds this restaurant started as a private gentlemen's club in 1912 and was frequented by the notorious power brokers of the day until it was raided by Prohibition agents in 1927. Today it's owned by the Dougherty family, whose four generations have operated Dock's Oyster House, and seafood—from diver scallops and crab cakes to lobster preparations—shines here, while rib-eye, filet mignon, and rack of lamb satisfy landlubbers. Parties of eight or more can take advantage of their Private Dining option, with prix-fixe meals served in intimate rooms.
3600 Atlantic Ave., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-344--1133Known For

16. Sandpiper Coastal Bar & Grill
$$ | |The seasonal tapas-style menu at the Sandpiper is perfect for a fun-loving crowd who wants to try a piece of everything, which you’ll want to do—crab-stuffed oysters, duck poutine tots, diver scallops, tenderloin sliders…you get the picture. The desserts are just as yummy with options like pull-apart monkey bread and chocolate brownie torte, as are the fruit-forward specialty cocktails. Another added bonus---the restaurant is helmed by New Jersey native John Zaitoun who has made local sourcing and seasonality the focus of the Sandpiper's menu including the restaurant's beer list which features beer from Cape May and Flying Fish Brewing Companies.
1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-449--1000Known For

17. White House Sub Shop
$ | |The place claims to have made more than 23 million overstuffed sandwiches since 1946. Make sure you grab a sub (don’t call it a hoagie, hero, or grinder) to enjoy on your trip home; there's also a location at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. You’ll probably need an Italian sub or a White House Special (similar to the Italian sub but with more of everything) to help you recover from all the fun you’ve had. Celebrities seem to love it too; check out the walls of photos and memorabilia, where even a framed towel used by Frank Sinatra during his last Atlantic City performance doesn't seem all that odd.
2301 Arctic Ave., Atlantic City, New Jersey, 08401, USA609-345--1564Known For
- White House Special (similar to the Italian sub but with more)
- Atlantic City landmark since 1946
- James Beard Foundation named White House Subs an American Classic
