Food was SOOOO delicious I highly recommend!! The hotcakes are to die for and the cod is scrumptious. Also every staff member is super sweet, attentive, and kind. It's easy to feel very at home here. The server, food runner and the host were all spectacular. I wish I lived closer, would def be a regular if I could! Also, loved the 2000s emo hits playing, whoever has aux should hold on to it!

I was going to take a picture of the food, but when it arrived it looked so good I forgot. So I took pictures of the empty plates. My girlfriend said her club sandwich was one of the best she has ever had. They definitely did know how to fry bacon. So we were in Atlantic City for 3 days and had breakfast here every morning. I forgot to take pictures each morning because it he food looked so good I was just in a hurry to eat it. Just a heads up 2 of the 3 days there was a large line to get into the restaurant. The service was so good that they turned tables that we never wait more than 20 minutes.

Had a great breakfast at Gilchrist while visiting Atlantic City. We were seated quickly and our server was super sweet! The food came out fast and it was so delicious. I got the cream chipped beef over rye with home fries, eggs, and grits. Best breakfast I’ve had in a while eating out!! Will stop in every time I come to Atlantic City.

We assumed there was a reason this place was lined up each time we’d pass, with people willing to sit at the counter instead of waiting for a table…their food is JUST THAT GOOD! The line moved quickly, service was excellent, food -delicious! Known for their blueberry pancakes, which are a unique cross between a crepe and a pancake, and are served with a generous portion of whipped butter, they didn’t disappoint. Like a little piece of heaven on the end of your fork! The Italian omelette came highly recommended; it was excellent. So so so cheesy, with sausage, onions and green peppers. Ordered the home fries well done; they were good, as was the rye toast. It’s a diner style restaurant, nothing fancy but the food and attentive service made for a great experience. Note: only open for breakfast and lunch. One bill per table, pay at the counter. Accessible from the street or the Tropicana. Definitely a do over.

Gilchrist is a great little spot for breakfast/brunch, especially if you’re looking for something casual and close to the beach. The chicken salad was to die for — super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of seasoning. The Italian omelette was solid too — packed with veggies and cheese, and cooked just right. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, with a cozy feel that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. Whether you’re fueling up before hitting the shore or just looking for a good brunch near the water, Gilchrist is definitely worth a stop.
