If you like seafood the best place in town is doc's oyster house. Some of the best seafood I have had in my entire life. If you are looking to grab a sandwich hit whitehouse subs. The place is really good. For cheap drinks go to wild wild west bar at bally's 2 dollar drinks and shots 24/7. For a good local bar I would go to Irish Pub. It's right off the boardwalk and never closes. Borgata is nice, best poker room in town by far in my opinion. You should have a good time.
A lot of Great Places listed above....
If you do go to the Boardwalk.. The White House is a MUST ! I'm talking about a MUST ! There is Nothing on their Menu that is bad....
Try to avoid going at Noon... you either go around 11am-11:30 or after 1:30
also try to avoid Dinner time... like 6pm
since you have never been, I can't tell you to call in an order because you don't know the menu. But this is a MUST go !!
Every time that I have been to AC I get White House to go when I leave
between myself and the Wife we get 5 Full Subs. We each eat 1 half on the way Home, then Dinner that Night is another half ( or for me a Whole )
Cheese Steak is one of the best... ( not really a Philly cheese steak ) But I still will take it over most. Italian Sub is a Must too. I also like the Hamburger
Everything is Fresh ! Meat is cut in the morning.... and the Bread is to die for.
