If you find yourself in Atlantic City, particularly at the train station, make sure to swing by Esquire's II, your go-to cafe for a quick yet satisfying bite! Nestled conveniently at 1 Convention, Center St, this charming cafe is far more than your average station eatery. With its warm atmosphere and friendly staff, Esquire’s II creates a perfect respite from the bustle of travel.

The menu, although simple, features some truly delightful options that make dining on the go enjoyable. Customers rave about the scrumptious turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser roll, all prepared swiftly for under $6—a perfect grab when you're in a rush, just like Katrina Culley experienced during her travels. For those simply wanting a quick pick-me-up, their coffee is praised for its quality, while the toasted buttered muffins serve as an excellent companion to start your morning right, as Sara Spaid-Thomas discovered when she requested a personalized cup of decaf coffee.

The real star of the show, according to many patrons, is their creative take on classic favorites. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty Reuben or indulgent bacon and egg sandwich, the food is not only prepared quickly but also with a level of care and attention that can elevate even a simple train station meal. Customers like Melissa Lehmann have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of items like their grilled cheese and bacon sandwich—a treat that showcases the kitchen’s commitment to using fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation.

Speaking of quality, Esquire’s II is known for serving well-made dishes in a clean environment, making it a beloved stop for both locals and travelers alike. As Juan Miguel Cano P noted, you don't have to go far to find excellent food, and it's often preferred over pricier options nearby. And let's not forget the personal touch—the staff make it a point to remember regulars like Maverick Shifferly and treat every customer like family, which enhances the experience of grabbing a quick bite.

If you’re looking for something a little more substantial, Amanda Castle's glowing review highlights the unbeatable deal of a cheeseburger with all the fixings for just $7—an incredible value in Atlantic City! Each bite not only fills you up but supports small businesses committed to quality and service. The cafe truly embodies the spirit of community, where every meal feels special, and every visit is met with familiar smiles.

Got an amazing turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser roll for less than $6, and he made it in less than 5 min so I didn’t miss my train! It was delicious!

The service is excellent! I wanted decaf coffee and they didn't have it but the woman working there said she would make some for me. The coffee is good, the toasted buttered muffin was excellent and the prices are good for being in Atlantic City and at the train station!

As station cafes go this has to be one of the best. The Reuben was pretty good! A little wet and a little too much cheese but the meat was excellent and the roasting of the bread was on point. Their coffee was broadly average, as expected. Hash browns were really well crisped and seasoned.

We have a crew of ten people that work the AC boat show each year. Esquire's is the best around. They are great at taking multiple personalized orders, and they have the food ready in no time. They are very personable call us by name. Highly recommend

We arrived at the Atlantic city train terminal ahead of schedule and googled where to get some food - the internal cafe - Esquire’s II - came up and we thought why not give it a try?! Wow what a surprise! Apart from the delightful and helpful service from the lovely woman in charge, our bacon and egg, relish, cheese and hash brown Kaiser roll was amazingly good and prepared quickly and on-site. They make a great regular coffee like I remember from my youth and it’s all served up nicely, in a cheery little eating area kept very clean. Great value for money and clearly they know how to do what they do. The cheesy, hearty, filling taste of the roll and coffee a winner! Thank you

You really don't have to go far to find excellent food. Good service, fast, clean, and above all, well-made. I recommend it 100%.

I love the people who work here and always stop on my way into and out from the train station. They are always very kind, helpful and polite! Today I have one of the best grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches I have ever had. It is a quick easy place to grab a snack or drink on the way to the boardwalk or the casino that is cheaper than waiting to buy something on the boardwalk or in a casino shop.

I got a cheeseburger with everything on it, chips and a 24oz drink for $7 . Hands down best burger I've ever eaten anywhere. Such friendly women working hard and providing customer service and delicious food. I turned that $7 into a $16 burger because they deserved that tip especially with working during a tough time. Support small businesses!!! Especially when they are incredible!!!
