Location

Pros:

• "Just next to Tropicana Atlantic City and behind the Days inn, a block from the boardwalk this restaurant is a must visit during your next visit to Atlantic City."
• "It's in the lobby of the Chelsea, not in the Tropicana, as it shows on Google."
• "Gives you a great view of the Atlantic Avenue side of the Tropicana, which if you like people-watching is a good place to be."
• "For restaurants next to the beach and inside Caesars resort is VERY affordable."
• "A true hidden gem! This 'retro diner' style restaurant sits on the Chelsea side of the Tropicana."

Cons:

• "Note: It's really hard to find, because you have to go into another building within the Tropicana, and through some empty hallways to get there."
• "The worst part is getting there on foot from the Tropicana casino floor. Up 2 escalators, across a walkway then down an elevator and through an adjacent hotel. It was a pain in the neck, quite a long walk and not worth the hassle."
• "The check was confusing because it had no total amount on it and they didn't initially explain that you have to bring it up to the front to pay when you're done."

Value

Pros:

• "So affordable but soooo delicious!"
• "We spent about $50 for two ppl."
• "We definitely found our new breakfast spot in Atlantic City."
• "Last thing which is the icing on the cake is the price point, every other breakfast in the area the bill was no less than $60 but here I paid $28 (2 individuals) for amazing food, excellent service, chill atmosphere, and outstanding staff."
• "Definitely better than anything you are going to get at one of their $30 per person Buffet in any casino."
• "The prices were not the overpriced resort ones. They were fair enough that it seemed local workers go there."
• "Amazing price for such good food!"

Cons:

• "This overhyped breakfast spot is Mids at best."
• "The food doesn't match the pictures and what they are serving is horrible."
• "The hype around Gilchrist is manufactured."
• "Your rewards card or room status won't work here."
