Vanina's - Atlantic City

VANINA'S!!! I can't express how wonderful this place is! It's the crown jewel of food on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. While there are endless options for Boardwalk dining, this restaurant truly stands out as the best! I always recommend heading to Home Slice for a delicious slice of Boardwalk pizza, but when it comes to everything else, Vanina's is where you need to go! The cleanliness, friendliness, and overall excellence of this establishment are unmatched. They serve the BEST FRIED PICKLES EVER, featuring pickle spears instead of standard slices! Their empanadas rank among the finest I've ever tasted, and their funnel cakes and fried Oreos are always a hit. I still have so much of their extensive menu to explore, but I have no doubt it will be equally amazing. Every visit I've made has been fantastic, and I appreciate the warm, welcoming atmosphere of this family-run establishment. Thank you, Vanina's! As a local, I will continue to return for more!

I tried the fried Zeppolis, and they were incredibly fresh and delicious!

Service was okay. Server wasn't friendly but wasn't rude either. Didn't wait too long for food. Got an iced tea that tasted like one of those really cheap 50 cent drinks you'd get at a corner store back in the day lol. Chips didn't taste fresh the pico de gallo was bland. I ordered two chicken tacos that were decent. The beef quesadilla that my boyfriend ordered was not. Super greasy mostly cheese was made with ground beef and not steak. Which would've been okay had it not been $12. Overall food was not worth the price.

Strawberry Cheesecake funnel cake is worth the 2+ hour drive. I wish I could find a exceptional spot like this in North Jersey.

Terrible customer service and unpleasant food. It's not worth your time.
