If you are tired of the casino atmosphere and you have no more comps left, you could stick to the restaurants in the casinos because there are plenty of great places. But if you are the adventurous type or need a change of scene, you can sample a few of the local restaurant establishments.

White House Hoagies (Subs) This is a must go!
2301 Arctic Avenue
Atlantic City, NJ 08401
(609) 345-1564

This establishment has been there since 1946 and is considered a must go tradition by most locals. Pictures of Hollywood stars who have visited the White House surround you as you walk in. Some say that the bread is the key ingredient; others say the wall of aroma that hits you as you walk through the door is enough to make your eyes bigger than your stomach! Great sandwiches at great prices and is often noted as a "Best Bang for the Buck". Most recently, George Clooney was spotted filming a soon to be released movie at this legendary establishment.

Melissa's Bistro
9307 Ventnor Ave (Between Decatur & Washington Avenues)
Margate, NJ (609) 823-1414

A very small restaurant that gets crowded quickly. Excellent food, but can be costly as it is at the upper echelon of menu prices. I really enjoyed the puff pastry with shrimp and crab in a sinfully delicious yet light Frangelica sauce. Well known and frequented by locals. Make Reservations if you can! BYOB

Tomatoes
9210 Ventnor Ave.
Margate, NJ

One of the many restaurants competing for local crowds, and it does get more than its fair share of the crowd. It is very trendy and popular restaurant featuring fresh seafood and interesting presentations.
