"I recently had breakfast at Gilchrist inside Tropicana Atlantic City, and overall, it was a pleasant but mixed experience. The restaurant itself is very charming—bright, inviting, and has that “cute, local café” vibe despite being right in the middle of a busy casino resort. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable settling in for a casual meal before heading out to enjoy the rest of the day. The staff were friendly and respectful throughout my visit, which helped make the experience feel warm and welcoming. Service was attentive enough without being overbearing, and the overall atmosphere was laid-back in a nice way. As for the food, it was decent but not without flaws. I ordered eggs, and while they weren’t made exactly the way I requested, the rest of the breakfast was fine. The flavors were there, portions were fair, and nothing tasted off—it just wasn’t executed perfectly. It felt more like diner-style cooking than elevated breakfast, which can be either a plus or a minus depending on your expectations. Price-wise, it seemed reasonable for being inside Tropicana, especially considering many resort restaurants tend to be on the higher side. Gilchrist feels like a nice little escape where you can grab a straightforward meal without breaking the bank. All in all, Gilchrist at Tropicana is a cute and reliable breakfast spot with friendly service. While the food could use a little more attention to detail, it’s still worth stopping by for a casual and comfortable start to the day."

"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."

"Service is amazing, friendly like Cheers... The know your name or at least they're friends. Excellent place to eat. Don't miss this Atlantic City Gem"

"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!"
