Cant express enough how disappointed I was here. First we are a family of 6 and the visit started off great. We were greeted as soon as we entered and given our choice of large table. Then from there it was way down hill. They dont allow any menu substitutions. My girlfriend just wanted a crab cluster instead of a lobster tail and still offered to pay the highest price. Basically told in order to do that shed have to order two meals. So be it she was fine and just ordered the filet mignon... Dont. It came out smothered in some weird gravy sauce and was terribly over cooked. Didnt know filet mignon needed a knife but this one did. Secondly we knew the gratuity of 19% would be included in the bill... However apparently the waitress(or lack of one) does too... She came over several times didnt say anything went to walk away and then I stopped her and asked for water refills... Clearly we set our glasses to the side and it was very obvious they were empty for a long time. The meal took along time to come out. The BBQ ribs were charred to burnt beyond belief. I ate a small piece then they asked me if I wanted a box and was clearly miffed when I said now and then she said well if you didnt finish that you must want dessert. If I want dessert Ill go get an ice cream on the boardwalk. Im not telling you not to come here. Im a tourist so I like to try new spots. This one wont be revisited.

So the plan was to gamble, see if we won alot of money, if so wed go to a nice restaurant, if not, wed go to a cheap place like AC Bar and Grill because we printed out some coupons. So we lost some money, and we went to this place thinking wed get a $20 lobster. Heres the rub... the waitress informs us we couldnt use the coupon because it wasnt printed from their website... yet their website has the EXACT same deal that we found on a different site (that has better google analytics). So the deal is, if you wanna go here, and use their coups, make sure they come directly from their website. Otherwise, the place is a bar/grill with alot of loud obnoxious people in it, and the bartender likes to keep flipping the channels around so you really cant wait a game or a sporting event there. The food itself is average at best, but its exceptionally cheap for seafood so you really cant beat the price. Go here if you lose your money at the casino, dont mind sitting next to loud people, dont wanna watch tv, and just want cheap food with some mediocre wait service.

The drinks are good and so is the bar tender. The fact that I cant order food from the bar tender is rediculous. If I want food I have to place my menu in a standing position on the bar and wait for a waitress to come by. The waitress is busy so here I sit waiting to order food to go. A waitress just said to the bar tender "good working with you in this crazy joint" it may be 1/4 capacity in here. In the middle of baseball season the only thing I can get on the TV is the oj trial. Yes I asked. I never plan on coming back to Atlantic City for many reasons and a bar named Atlantic City bar and grill is one.

Started with a crock of Lobster Bisque, looked like Vodka sauce, tasted like a bowl of melted butter. Had a crabcake sandwich and fries, both were okay, nothing special. Service was mediocre, didnt really matter how the waitress worked because gratuity was added on with our table of 6. Would not split checks either, "the computer wont allow us to do it". I like to support small business and local economy rather than eat at chain restaurants; should have read the reviews first I guess.

Staying at the Courtyard across the street lloking for a local casual place to eat a light dinner. Decided to sit at the bar. 1st of all NO SMOKEY SMELL AT ALL which was a shocker for a NJ bar. Waitress and bartender all over me (all women and very efficient and nice). Ate 3 selection off the apps menu for dinner...all just a bit differnt in a great way. Bill was less than I expected. I will go back again tomorrow night for some seafood.

The food was good and fresh, oysters were big and sweet, I wanted to eat some more the next day but my wife was not feeling well and didnt want to go out so I called and asked to pick up and they denied me service for they do not do take out. I mean If I go there and dont finish all my plate I can take home the rest. So how hard is it to pack it for pick up? No busses should ever turn down service is just bad business. Special in AC.

For me, no trip to AC is complete without a stop at the AC Bar & Grill for some crabmeat pizza. It is delicious. Ive been here probably 10 times over the years and have never had a bad meal, or a bad time. Really nice to get out of the casinos once in awhile and get a good meal at a good price. Clean bar, good atmosphere and never had any problems with service. Always friendly. Highly recommended.

From looking at other options around Atlantic City, this place was better than I expected. The food was decent, and the server was nice and attentive. We went with a group of 6, and ordered a pitcher of beer. The beer itself wasnt bad, but the glasses they gave us smelled of crabs, I think they kept the cups in the seafood fridge. You could say we got the Sam Adam special brew.

Terrible service,bad food. Close to 45 minutes for the dinner to come out and when it did, the lobster tail was overcooked and bland! Ribs were fall-off-the-bone but just covered in bbq sauce; no subtlety of real taste to the actual meat. No explanation of apology for why it took so long, neither did she ask how the food was. I highly recommend NOT going here!

So far, we have to wait 25 minutes to get seated. Thats not bad, unless you do not have any patience. Decor, well I wouldnt consider it very premium but it doesnt affect it. The food, however, is very dry and doesnt give the awesome you would expect. I wouldnt recommend to anyone as it doesnt exceeds my high expectations of a food restaurants.

Visited here on a recommendation of a client. We will never be back. The food was good and that is the only reason we are giving it 2 stars. We had horrible service. She had no personality and it was like we were a burden to be sitting in her section. There arent free refills which wouldnt be a big deal if our server actually told us that.

From the time i took two steps out the car hospitality was on point and we had to cross traffic. Didnt get the guy name but the man had smiles on me and the wife face before we could even get in the place. Sat us well and the waitress was two thumbs up made sure we was good. Nice environment friendly def comming back thanks guys!!!!!!!
