Yianni's Café
1213 W Brigantine AvePopular for breakfast with outdoor seating in the summer. Located in the heart of the City of Brigantine next to City Hall.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served. Across from the "Seawall" and Atlantic ocean at the North end of Brigantine Island. A piece of Brigantine history as this restaurant has been here for as long as I can remember. Seating is available outside in the summer but be cautious of the Greenheads (biting flies) that tend to swarm in from the wildlife preserve if there is a land breeze. Avons Skin-so-Soft is a locals barrier that helps prevent bites.

You will find the best happy hour here (food and drinks). A 1/2lb hamburger runs just over $5 & a martini for about $7. Usually 4p-6p but call to confirm. Limited bar seating might create a wait.

I almost hate to recommend this place as I go regularly and it is already hard to get a seat. Get there when they open the doors at 4p for happy hour at the bar. They have a live piano player and a intimate atmosphere. Lobster mac and cheese is about 50% off. Select oysters for about $1. No deals on drinks so you will still spend a few dollars but well worth it! This is also a Fine dining restaurant.
