First time trying this location. We used to ride our bikes to the one in Gardner's Basin when in town. I wasn't expecting it to be the same but was surprised....it was just as delicious! And the prices were not the overpriced resort ones. They were fair enough that it seemed local workers go there. The staff was very nice too. If near here and hungry - it's worth it.
We wanted breakfast and heard the Gilchrist was good. It is an adventure to get there. Take a elevator to the 5th floor then walk across a bridge take another elevator down to the 4th floor into an old lobby walk a short distance to the restaurant. It must of been part of another hotel before the Tropicana took it over. A short wait for a table. It looks like it is still in the 50's. The breakfast was good. I had an omelette my husband the breakfast special - eggs and pancakes. When we left went out the door and a short walk up to the boardwalk. Just easier way to get there. A good choice.
Really a bad experience all around that started with the manager. He walked us passed a few booths and tables to try and sit us at this small table a foot away from another party. We asked for another table and he made a few rude remarks to take us to a table in the back.The waitress shows to take our order with an equally dismal attitude. We never see her again.Food shows and another person is dropping off the food but we are not sure if it is ours. We say we are not sure if that is ours and she says"there are other orders on here"followed by a hard eye roll. And drops the bill on the table and leaves.The food was not correct in one omelette and patiently waited for someone to return...nobody ever did.Went to pay the bill and just an adjustment for the food that was still sitting on the table. We did see the waitress that waited on us a few feet away probably looking to get her tip.We really would have a better time with better service at McDonald's. I suggest McDonald's or some other place to eat.I hope you don't make the same mistake, it is really a bad way to start your day!
Just had breakfast at Gilchrist and feel the need to warn people. I had a 2 egg with cheese sandwich on a roll and bacon.The roll looked and tasted freezer burned.Horrible. The cheese was some kind of white goo that may have been some kind of processed cheese product.Unrecognizable.The bacon was OK if you like very well done crunchy bacon. My husband had blueberry pancakes which turned out to be thin, more like crepes. The only reason I give 2 stars instead of zero is the staff are friendly and service is fine.
DELICIOUS! When I come to Atlantic City I always enjoy eating breakfast here. They have a wide variety of options from pancakes to French toast. All of your breakfast favorites. They serve you fast and the food comes out warm and delicious. They usually have a wait from around 20-40 minutes in the morning so come early.
I went with my wife and mother for breakfast. I had the eggs and home fries which were decent. The pancakes looked good and the coffee was good. What turned me off was that my wife ordered the fresh fruit dish and was told they didn’t have it. I am just used to something more fancy but I will definitely come back.
Great food and great service! Open 6:30am to 2pm. Located on the very lower level of the Tropicana in the Chelsea Towers
