Gilchrist Downbeach Restaurant

"Marina life at its best. Listen up- it’s not aesthetically the most beautiful decor but the food is absolutely Delicious!! If you’re seeking straight to the point, hot food at a reasonable price and served by pleasant kind folks- this is the place for you ! We always make it a point to come here for breakfast when we are in the area. Highly recommend. Beware the wait can get long but moves quickly - so get there early."

"So been going here for many years and getting their pancakes which are great. Decide to start switching things up and get an omelet and to my surprise I left there looking for another breakfast. Omelettes are really chincy not enough to fill a small 5-year-old. On top of that they piled the grits in the same plate as my omelette. If you're not getting pancakes this is not the place to go especially for 20 bucks + tip"

"First time ever eating at Gilchrist. We visited on a Sunday morning in October, got there about 9am, place was 75% full by 9:45. Excellent breakfast, we tried both the blueberry and pumpkin pancakes, along with eggs and pork roll. Service was very attentive and friendly. Place was clean, well-lit and comfortable. Will definitely come back!"

"No frills old timey atmosphere - the food here is so average or below average - the home fries were huge, dry and tasteless BUT…. THE PANCAKES ARE TO DIE FOR. Worth the drive every time. Thin, slightly crispy, a touch salty at the crispy edges. Just wow."

"Best pancakes in South Jersey hands down! Not many people know about this location in Margate so this one is generally less busy than the others. Still the same Gilchrist quality and the staff are all very nice. I take my mom here all the time!"
