Review from Joan K.

I've been going to the Shore Diner for 19 years and they've always been reliable and it's quite the slice of American life! We're usually seated right away, order taken & food delivered promptly. I go for breakfast with my family on the weekend. The food is pretty good.
Unfortunately, they've decided to display a selection of wine prominently next to the cash register where you first walk in and wait to be seated. I don't object to wine or alcohol being displayed, but this wine is of the "texting" kind with labels such as "LMAO" and "WTF". I don't enjoy having to explain to my 6 & 11 year olds just what those letters stand for. Yes, I could lie to them and make something up, but why should I have to lie to my children about something so declasse. This type of display really cheapens what had up until now been a wonderful family restaurant that I've enjoyed going to for nearly 20 years!! Apparently, they sell a case of the stuff a week and have a lot of it and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. We've overheard other customers comment they will not be bringing their families there for this very reason.
Enjoy the Shore Diner, but beware if you're taking young ones that you might have some explaining to do. -

This is a very South Jersey feeling sort of place, a truly old style diner.. If you are on a diet, you need to avoid most of the menu.. I got a platter consisting of a huge portion ofshredded beef in a creamy sauce on top of a sort of toast accompanied by a huge portion of grilled potatoes and 2 scrambled eggs.. probably enough for 2 people and definitely not low carb or low fat. to make my healthy experience complete, i had also order a pecan cinnamon roll i saw lying in a glass container , it was served toasted with a big tub of butter, just in case the 50% butter content of the cinnamon roll was viewed inadequate by the customer.. The pecan roll was outstanding!!!! I found service to be reasonable and prompt on my breakfast visit today.. SO Menu consists mostly of meet and potatoes style American food , but there is a huge selection of very tasty looking desserts they bake , and oddly for a blue collar feeling diner type of place like this, they have an enormous selection of craft beers , European beers, and wine; which is the part that does not fit in with the "diner" stereotype at all... a pretty good place over all, and a good place to hear very thick south Jersey accents..

Avoid avoid avoid. I came here with a few friends about a week back. Although the quality of the food was decent and the service wasn't bad, the portions were small and it was very expensive for a diner. I ordered a corned beef reuben which totaled $12. I finished it in about 2 minutes and was still starving. I must be spoiled by the diners up around my way, but come on Shore Diner, get it together.

The shore diner restaurant is a quaint little side of the road diner with a simple decor. It has booths with leather and little hanging lamps, is a decent size, and in the outskirts of Atlantic City so there are no tourists, and no wait.
All of the eats were good, came here for brunch. Nothing to jump up and down and scream about like a little school girl, but good eats none the less. -

When sister mentioned that she and her boyfriend would take me to Shore Diner for brekky, I did not recognize the name. Once I saw the dark glass facade though, I knew I'd been here a few times years ago, when I used to live in the area. I don't recall what I'd eaten then, but I did remember that this diner offered many pastries encased in long display cases that lined the main dining room. My memory did not fail me.
The service was friendly and efficient! The staff here knows my sis and her beau well, as they come here on a weekly basis. My sis had an omelet. (Sorry, but I can't recall what her beau had.) I was craving for something sweet, and once I'd read "Bavarian cream French toast," I just had to try it! When sister's beau gave me the thumb's up, I knew I was in for a treat! I also ordered a cup of coffee, black.
The French toast was delicious! I know, I know-- the photo included isn't convincing you, but you must believe me when I say it was so very, very good! LOVED the Bavarian cream topping-- it provided enough flavor and sweetness that I didn't need any extra syrup. (BTW, the "maple syrup" here is a maple-corn syrup blend. You've been warned.) What it lacked in presentation (the toast didn't look too appealing, and the cream topping didn't look creamy enough), the dish made up in flavor and mouth-feel! No, don't take my word for it. If you live in the area, get up off your chair and run to Shore Diner now! Trust me, you're going to be glad you burned off a lot of calories beforehand, bec. this entree contained 1000 calories, or just under that. If you don't live here, be sure to bookmark SD and try it on your next visit. If the food doesn't wow you, then the service and the old-timey ambience will. [Just ask to be seated in the main dining area if you do go. The room we were shown to wasn't pleasing to the eye, at least not to mine, and it also lacked the coziness I felt when I walked through the main dining room to get to the restroom. Then again, maybe I just liked walking past all those pastries in the display cases! :)
The menu was extensive; I hope I get a chance to visit again to try something else! -

My mom always takes me to this place every time I come down. Growing up I never really liked the place, but for some reason it grew on me. My mom goes there pretty much 4 days a week, so we might get better service than most.
Breakfast is just as good Denny's, but with a little bigger serving size and slightly cheaper. I've pretty much had everything on the menu and have no complaints or real compliments.
I recently had lunch there for the first time and was surprised. I ordered the ribeye. The lunch/dinners have an option for 2 vegetables. One of the choices is the fried eggplant and it is awesome. I've never had my eggplant fried like that, crispy on the outside and it "was like" boiled eggplant on the inside. It also came with a choice of a soup which at most diners I've been to the soup usually just tastes like heated up Cambell's. I ordered the chicken soup which was actually a cream of chicken soup and was surprisingly great. Definitely had a homemade taste. The ribeye was perfectly seasoned and done the way I ordered. -

Everyone was correct when it came to service. Me and 2 friends waited over 10 minutes to be waited on before we left..there were 3 waitresses talking amongst themselves and never acknowledged us..

We've eaten here a few times and it's OK. The food is good, the service is average. When we've gone there for breakfast, the place is mobbed so I don't quite understand the other reviews about prompt seating. I notice that diners in this area are closing so I think there are just less places to go.
I was amazed when we stopped by one Friday night and it must have been around 10PM or so. Nobody in the parking lot and we were the last customers for the night, locked the doors behind us. -

We stay often next door at the Days Inn for our vacations, so the Shore Diner is a natural choice for breakfast or dinner. We often meet friends and family who live down in New Jersey there, and they are always impressed with the restaurant.
This is a classic Jersey diner with subdues ambiance, excellent selection, good prices, and quick seating. The staff is not overly friendly, but sufficiently attentive. The food is well-prepared and always tasty, and the choices range the whole spectrum. It is even easy to get a truly healthy meal here - rare this close to the shore. And your final total on the bill is very reasonable.
A great place to eat with friends. -

If you're in the mood for diner food, this is a good option in the area! I'm all about breakfasts when I go to diners, so I can only speak to the yummy breakfast food at the Shore Diner. The staff is friendly, the location handy and the diner itself clean and nicely decorated.

Big fan of this hometown favorite. I've honestly never had a bad meal here, but I've never had a fabulous meal here either...it's a diner people. I love it though, huge menu, friendly staff (for the most part) and reasonable prices. A very classy Jersey diner, and that's saying something. Large back room you can rent for private events as well. The bar area was refurbished within the past year and its much nicer.

The food was crappy and their service was even crappier, but as my handsome and highly intelligent boyfriend(who I was with on my first date with there) pointed out we may not have been the right color for the Shore Diner. :(

As diners go, the Shore Diner compares well.
I went there for breakfast on 4 straight days. The coffee is fresh, hot and is always being made.
We had the waffles and pancakes which were reported to be terrific. Nothing like freshly made and hot food in this category.
I had scrambled eggs, rye toast and hash browns. I requested the hash browns well done and crispy. They came exactly as ordered. Very good.
The service was friendly and efficient as a diner should be.
I looked around to what other diners were having and the portions were large and enjoyed.
Good diner... -

Great breakfasts on the weekends, especially the creme brulee stuffed french toast.
By far, this is the best diner in the area. -
