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.

Vic's Subs

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?!

The Historic Smithville Inn

Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

Reviewed By FJGonzalezG - Bethesda, Maryland

We had a delightful dinner in a separate room to celebrate my mother’s 90th birthday. The Inn was quite cozy on that frigid, early-January evening, the service was good, and the food was quite good. Would return, and would recommend to others.

The management provided a complimentary sparkling wine for our party of 16, and our food was quite good. I ordered the Brussel Sprout Salad and my wife ordered the Caesar’s Salad. Both were very tasty. I had the Braised Short Rib Pasta, which was delicious. Others ordered the Bouillabaise, the Eggplant Rollentini, New Zealand Lamb Rack, and Fried Calamary. All seemed very happy with their meals. My mother ordered the Fried Tomatoes, which were very good, but quite different than the Southern fried green tomatoes. When my wife told the waiter that the Stuffed Pork Tenderloin she ordered had been left too long under the heating lamp, without hesitation he apologized profusely and offered several reasonable options to remedy the situation.

The Inn has a traditional look, with roughhewn wood beams and a wonderful hearth near the entrance. The décor for the main dining room was traditional, but we had reserved a separate room, which was very nice and quite cozy. Our waiter acquitted himself well, while taking orders from 16 individuals, ranging in ages from 10 to 90 and with wildly varying attention spans, and he recovered very well in the inevitable and rare instances there was some miscommunication.

All in all, it was a very good meal and a delightful evening. Would recommend it to others without hesitation.

The food is just great and the portions are huge. The service is hit or miss. Sometimes very good, and other times very slow and inattentive. Great fish franchese and large Turkey dinner. Terrific stuffing. Very we’ll decorated for the holidays. Reasonable prices. Plenty of parking. Worth the trip.

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.

Reviewed By traveldiva10 - Pasadena, California

We are on a road trip in the state of NJ, staying in Galloway for a few days. Started looking for places to eat and this restaurant popped up on several sites. We had a great dinner....calamari apply, shrimp scampi and shrimp Parmesan. Yum!' They do not have a bar but you are welcome to being beer or wine (without a corkage - nice).
Young wait staff who actually seem to care and are very engaging.
Not fancy, but very good. Enjoy....
