This place is pretty cheap and the food is filling and great for the price. They close at 2pm despite what the website says. The staff are very nice and helpful. They can also make you food to order. The prices for what you get, you cant beat that at all. I would definitely recommend cafe 500 to anyone that visits here. Theyre worth every penny.
Had brunch here on a Sunday afternoon. It was awesome! Food was delicious, hot and made as ordered. The short rib breakfast bowl is insane and the pancakes are incredible. Coffee was really good too. Michelle was our server and she was very nice and helpful. Definitely will return
My son got fish and chips. Fish was still frozen. So nothing was fresh. Clam chowder was good. Over priced. I had butterfly shrimp. I could tell they were frozen. Dinner was 46.00. We didnt have any drinks. We did go back for breakfast the next day. Very disappointed. Breakfast for 2 was 43.00. We didnt get anything special. Cup of coffee is 3 dollars. Rip off. Staff was friendly.
Loud and stark.Decent food and staff.Food served rather quickly yet never seems super hot.
We ventured out of the Hard Rock 🎸 and we at here. The restaurant is inside Ocean Casino. We were happy we did. Breakfast was good, and we walked the boardwalk to Ocean. It seemed like a very nice hotel/casino too. Check it out
I was there for the 4th of July weekend. Great breakfast for excellent price. But what went above and beyond everything was our server Scarlett... she just took it to the next level. What an extraordinary service.
Delicious fresh foods, the crab bennie was so delicious. The crab cake is big & fresh.. The pancakes are tasty & fluffy. The fresh orange juice is always needed for the mornings. The potatoes are crispy & flavorful. Staff is very busy but good. Need to have some patience at this time since its very busy at times.
The food was great at Cafe 500. Fast and friendly service. We did not have to wait to be seated. Our waiter served us our drinks and in a matter if 15 minutes we were being served our food. I ordered the Pub hamburger medium rare and the burger was cooked perfect. The honey chicken, cod fish and chicken strips were are good. A great place to eat dinner while staying at Ocean Hotel.
Lobster Mac and cheese is a must have only if it’s cooked by one and only Mr Demetrius! If Mr. Demetrius is not in, don’t get it- you’ll be disappointed. The salmon is amazing, make sure you ask them the make it saucy and make the sauce buttery not too lemony. The green flatbread is yummy. Bottom line, if you have a bad experience, give it one more chance, that’s what I did and it was worth it. Denise served our table today and she was super sweet and accommodating. Their breakfast omelettes are worth your time. We’ve had good and bad experience at cafe 500, a 80/20 ratio in favor of good experience. We’ll be back. Thank you to Denise and Mr Demetrius for making us feel welcomed today and showing us that you care. We really enjoyed and appreciated everything.
Awesomely good food at a great price!! This is a place you will want to eat at for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! Friendly staff too! I had the prime rib weekend special (prime rib, baked potato and salad). Delicious!Update: Had the Reuben Sandwich for takeout before claoing and it is the 💣!!!! Unbelievable!
After our morning jogging (10 km) we finally landed at this place to have a breakfast. It is perfect here- good service nice food, not expensive, amazing vibe....And guess what? In front you have the Casino machines:)
Good breakfast, though service could be better. They have the bartenders handling both the tables and the large bar. We were seated at the bar for ten minutes before we were served, though another group was also served before us, and arrived after us.The front manager did not take upon himself to take orders from customers who were waiting at the bar.Cafe 500 does not align with the high end atmosphere of the Ocean Resort.You can have a better breakfast somewhere else on the strip, certainly not worth the wait.
So far not good, a long wait to even get a server. Other people were seated and served food before we even got our water. We had to ask a different server who seated us if we could get water. Finally after about ten minutes and people getting him three times he finally arrived. The summon oldest server ever I thought it was a bad SNL skit. We order, doesnt hear the whole thing. Not surprised. Food was delicious but it doesnt make up for the terrible services. Now getting the check we had to ask the hostess if we could get the check. The hostess brought the check we paid immediately, then the waiter came out of nowhere with the finally copy. Signed it and we fled hoping to never return. The worst part was everyone around us was receiving excellent service.
Cafe 500 located inside Ocean resort casino. They serve alcohol and easy food such as burger and chicken wings. As part of ocean you are able to use ocean casino comp. They open late till 2 am as long as you sit in the bar. The price is reasonable and they give military discounts. The food taste not bad. It can be very noisy since its next to villain and saint which play live music .
Good breakfast mimosa were a little high priced but good Over all nice place
I absolutely love Cafe 500. Only been there for breakfast. They make the best blueberry pancakes, the edges are crispy (just the way I like it😛) the whole meal was great. I highly recommend!!!
Love the breakfast buffet also have a good time with family during stay in Ocean resorts
Went for the steak and egg special. The value was pretty good however the steak was dry and almost impossible to chew. The best part are the eggs and the service was ok. Wouldn’t go back
Waiting 50 minutes today too get breakfast got steak and eggs ice cold last time I will eat here f. This place
Horrible service! Waited almost an hour for french toast, eggs and potatoes. Food was cold. Asked for manager. She came and didn’t even apologize. Asked if we wanted our food microwaved. Never will eat here again
Our server was amazing on our visit to cafe 500. He was very high energy and polite. The food was great and reasonable. The host definitely needs additional training as she was rude. I had a handicap guest and the host was going to seat the table behind me because she did not want to wait until the handicap person arrived. The reason for me arriving before her was so the table was settled and she could just sit down because of her handicap. She then clled the manager over after telling me she no longer wanted to speak to me when i was explaining the reason for me arriving prior to the other guests.
Excellent! Very reasonable prices.great service! Breakfast is awesome there.
Solid food for the price, great service!
The service was pretty spotty and the food runner was one of the most rude people Ive ever come in contact with. The food was mediocre at best and the prices did not reflect that.
Despite being located inside of Ocean casino, Cafe 500 feels like a local hometown diner. They are clean, which is a great feeling since the casino it self feels grimmy. I ordered the eggs Benedict that came with a side of home fries. The only thing that seemed to be missing was there was barely any Hollandaise sauce and if youre a lover of hollandaise sauce youll definitely be missing it. My boyfriend order the everything bowl, which came with bacon, sausage,eggs, tattertots and mushrooms. He enjoyed his meal as well. Definitely a spot we would stop in for breakfast next time in the area.
Great prices for a AC casino. They run this place with professionalism. Waitresses have been there a long time
We were at Ocean Casino Resort for a mini-vacation and decided to dine in at Cafe 500 one of the nights during our stay since we had a pleasant experience on a previous visit when we went here for breakfast. On this trip, we had the open face turkey dinner and the meatloaf dinner. Both were absolutely terrible. The bread under the turkey was stale, the ends were as hard as a rock and the middle was semi-hard. The turkey was like rubber. The meatloaf was hard all around the edges. The potatoes were clearly instant. Both gravies (turkey and beef) were coagulated. Both meals were barely warm and had some ice cold spots. Overall, neither meal had any flavor at all. We both only took a few bites and were done. I wasted food comps on the meal and had I not had comps and was paying out of pocket, I would not have paid for these disgusting plates of stuff that they called dinners. I will never go back to this place to eat and would not recommend this place at all. to anyone who isnt looking for possible tummy troubles.
I have no clue why gave such a bad rating on google. We were here with my family and food was tasty. The everything bowl was amazing.
It was very nice and the staff was very friendly
The service was quick and responsive. The dishes are fairly priced and tasty. I was happy that I chose to have my breakfast here.
The restaurant is beautiful and service is top notch! The place is very popular so good for them! My reasons for 3 stars instead of 5 was because although my bestie loved her Bloody Mary and her food, I sadly didn’t have nearly the level of praise for the drinks or food. The first drink was in a martini glass and tasted almost like it was pure vodka with a little cranberry juice, way too strong, especially for a breakfast meal!! I asked them to switch it for their Margarita, it also tasted mostly like alcohol! Usually a tourist wouldn’t likely complain about drinks being too strong, but this was around 11:30am and I was not trying to get buzzed or drunk!! I tried her bloody and was impressed, but I wasn’t in the mood for that kind of morning drink. Then the crab Benedict came, I was so excited as we both love bennie’s, she enjoyed hers, but mine was just ok. I’m saying 3 stars because the food was only ok, and when you hit an ocean front restaurant, you expect the best seafood possible, and drinks that are refreshing and tropical! Sadly both were nothing I’d return for, I’d only return for the outstanding overall service and to try a different set of drink and food. Disappointing for being that it was my final breakfast of my 40th bday wknd.
Had a great time good food
Nice atmosphere, good service, the food was served with little wait time, and was pretty good.
Let me start by saying Arthur Gaskins was a Fantastic Manager. His example should be followed by many Corporations. I watched from afar him helping his staff when needed, collecting plates and anything else that was required. Stopping at tables to see if CUSTOMERS were okay. Also, taught his staff, if one waitress is tied up, go and assist. Let the customers know they are appreciated. Great prices as well. The steak is best ordered Medium not Medium well.
We wanted some breakfast before we head back home street our long week trip and lucky we find this spot which I never knew where it was but glad we found it for next time I come prices are reasonable and food was good big enough space for everyone and customer service was super nice
Great breakfast specials!!! Best prices in Atlantic City!!
Excellent food and service
I always like the place they have a steak and eggs for $9.99 (from 7AM to 11AM) thats wonderful.My wife does not like the place says if feels uptight.
Ok it was nice, the atmosphere was great the service was great an the price was right.
Fai is a amazing waiter omg this man is beyond the most amazing waiter I ever experienced if you come to Ocean Resort & Casino ask for this man Fai older Asian man to be your waiter curtious and beyond standards of exquisite and is a true staple in customer service OCEAN or CAFE 500 Thanks so much for hiring this diamond of a man
I dont know why this place is showing up to review cause I didnt go here
We were waiting foreveeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Great breakfast and lots of different options
Nice place to think about business. The service was very sociable and kind. It has a great interior.
Nice breakfast they close early great food
We had breakfast and lunch at Cafe 500 today. Both times we were seated quickly. Very pleasant wait staff. Drink and food order was prompt, accurate, hot and delicious. Did not have to ask them for refills on drinks - they approached us before the glasses were empty. Prices were very reasonable plus you get a discount just for having a players card. We will definitely return to this restaurant on our next visit to Ocean Resort.
We visited this restaurant 1 year ago and it was very good. We visited today and 45 mins waiting in line to have a table. The very slow hostess does not give agility to assign tables. After we complained, the mananger told us he gave us a complementary breakfast and it was not like that because they charged us. The most common breakfast is eggs over easy and accompanied by french fries, not home fries like last times? I dont highly recommend the quality of the food.
I wish there were more places like this around town. fast and courteous service. the place has an awesome atmosphere. ambience is similar to fresnos scene.
This place never gets an order right. My Eggs were drenched in butter.
French toast is amazing!
Coke is best in here...Thats better than all other foods
Great servicex
Beautiful place, good food and exercise service
The worst oil and vinegar on a sandwich
Food was cold and had to be sent back. Took a half hour to refire a hamburger.
My husband and I were here for dinner on September 14, 2019. After being seated at a table, 20 minutes later, no one had approached us. On multiple occasions, we had tried to get the hostesses attention to no avail. I went to her and told her that a server had not been to our table. We noticed that we were not the only ones in our area receiving poor or no service at all. At this point, 30 minutes had elapsed and other diners were obviously as frustrated as we were. Finally, a manager came to our table and I asked where our server was and she pointed out someone who we were seeing for the first time. I told her that we had been sitting for 30 minutes without acknowledgement by anyone. She was very rude and unapologetic, acting as if we were being a bother to her. We got up and left, which we should have done much sooner. We have never experienced service like this before. I question your management training. I also believe that they need to be taught service recovery.
If you’re looking for a great place with great pricing stop at cafe 500! We love it!!
It was a wonderful time at ocean, everyone was nice and food was good at restaurants
My family and I dined at the restaurant this evening. Aside from the delicious burgers we enjoyed, I wanted to highlight our amazing waiter, Fai. He was kind and extremely attentive to our requests and needs. From the moment we were seated, he approached us with a warm smile and throughout our dining experience, he went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied. Fai’s customer service was exceptional and Cafe500 will be our go to restaurant while visiting the area! I hope he is recognized by the management of this establishment for his dedication to your restaurant guests! Thank you Fai!
We’re here yesterday and today for breakfast. The hostess doesn’t seem to be pleasant with us. No smile, no good morning. Even though we’re the first one there waiting for the table with a black card, how could the other two parties came after us be seated first... it could be the color of our skin, cause she was so nice to the others..
This is one of the few places to go get breakfast in Ocean Casino Resort. I ordered the Texas breakfast bowl in the morning. It wasn’t impressive. The menu didn’t have many options. The prices are cheap for a dine-in restaurant in Atlantic City. The customer service was pleasant but the food could be improved.
Coffee was cold when we asked for hot and the waitress said okay okay and rolled her eyes
They made us stand in line for a hour and finally said they could not serve us
Steak and egg special
The manager was really rude!! People should never be treated the way he treated us today!!
This cafe is all about excellence! The service is immediate. We visited three times on our trip and not once did we wait more than five minutes for our beverages and order to be taken. The cafe is the cleanest I have ever seen. There was a staff of about 20 people, even when it wasnt peak hours. This cafe is standard setting for the rest of the industry.
Just a terrible experience took a while to get a table and plenty of them were open and clean. We did not have a server a hostess took our drink order about 15 minutes after sitting a server took our order and left someone else brought our food out we asked a manager for refills just no one was friendly the only good thing about this place was the food was good the service sucked and when we were leaving not one person said thank you have a great day nothing at all I will never go back
Basic food. Good food but nothing special.
John our server was great. Perfectly cooked burger. Way better than the famous place.
For such a beautiful casino how this place is here I will never know. Horrible food and service. The manager seems to be the only one who care while the rest of the staff wander around ignoring any requests. The rest of the restaurants in Ocean are quite good explore other options. They should change the name to Cafe 000
This is usually our go to place for least expensive, decent food. Always get the burgers. Service can be a slow but food is good. Tonight we were placed in an area with no server, so everyone around us was served (who came after us) while we waited 30 minutes for someone to take our order. Not very organized when it gets busy.
The food is pretty good. The service is extremely slow. No improvement since it was the Revel which is somewhat disappointing. If you can stand the wait for your food to be served it is 3 stars
We came for breakfast, seated promptly. Coffee was horrible, tasted like it was burnt and they tried adding more water to blend out burnt taste. French toast was great even though it was missing its berry topping. My wife ordered eggs over medium that came out beyond over easy, white and slimy. Server never came out to check on us through meal until we were finished. Overall very unprofessional staff. Servers yelling across the dining room to other servers and a gentleman i assumed to be a manager about orders. We got too experience two servers getting into a verbal argument over whose table was whose. This all happened tableside. In working 8+ years in fine dining, bars, and restaurants I have never experienced such unprofessionalism out of a casino eatery.
Service is the problem here and management needs to step up. I’ve found the food to be decent, when it finally arrives. I gave 3 stars rather than two as it seems to be getting a bit better on our last visit.
The food was good
Our waitress was lauren and she was so sweet and super attentive! The food was delicious and were very happy we stopped here for breakfast.
Ate here for breakfast, the host manager had a very bad attitude while dealing with customers and his own waiters. The food came out VERY cold. After asking to get fresh hot food brought out it took forever, and the waitress totally forgot my wifes pancakes. Overall, horrible experience with customer service and the food was not good at all. Dont recommend at all.
Beautiful place!The food was ok but came up cold and the portions were little!Service was friendly but could be faster.They don’t have green tea... :(
Some of the staff seems to be one-sidedif you know what I mean
Great food. The Texas hold em bowl was amazing.
Terrible service, terrible food. We waited almost 40 minutes to receive our food and during that time our waitress completely disappeared. Once we finally received our food, the steak was over cooked, the crab benedict was incredibly bland. All of the food was cold. When the waitresses saw that I wasn’t eating, she asked “you didn’t like it?” I said the food was bland and she responded “yeah, that’s not my favorite.” Save your money. Go somewhere else.
Service is horrible!!! Not once, but every time !! Food is good if you want to wait for your food for 45 minutes.. never again..
Cold eggs, cold toast, cold potatoes, frozen orange juice, slow service. Need I say more?
The waitress was clueless and had no idea how to wait tables and present food. She brought out cold toast, followed 5 minutes later by cold grits that were prepared wrong followed 10 minutes later by the wrong sausage. I ordered chicken sausage, my husband ordered pork sausage, she gave me the pork sausage which I immediately realized after taking a healthy bite. An attentive wait staff knows who ordered what especially when there are clear dietary differences. I was physically ill for the rest of the day. $41 for a terrible breakfast experience.
This was the worse experience ever! We stood in line for a table for 2, we accepted that people in the chairman line receive priority service. But when the staff ignored us and took the people behind us for a table, I had enough.staff was rude, the place is chaoti
Great place for a quick bite to eat. The only thing is be aware of the the wait time otherwise it was great.
Terribly run restaurant. Some good servers but, the MANAGER JENNIFER is the most unprofessional, lazy and rude person Ive ever seen. Shes a joke and has no business managing a restaurant, what a joke
