Gass & Main
Where: 7 Kings Ct, Haddonfield
Details: Gass & Main is a casual place to enjoy elevated comfort food from Chef Dane DeMarco. That means putting fun twists on classics to create unique dishes like Gnocchi Mac & Cheese. They’re also famous for their “World’s Best Hot Dogs” that come in two different styles. The first is their Classic, made with wagyu beef, house mustard, and pickles. The second is their PB&C, featuring wagyu beef, peanut butter, and Fritos. Gass & Main serves brunch from Wednesday – Sunday, with both menu mainstays plus rotating seasonal dishes. In fact, the menu changes six time a year. Mainstay favorites include Benedicts and buttermilk pancakes alongside creative surprises like Truffle Steak Benedict. Even the simplest of options, like Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup, are elevated into flavorful masterpieces under Chef Dane’s supervision. The restaurant is named after the cross streets in Las Vegas where the chef and owners got married.

From classic eggs and omelettes to specialty pancakes, waffles, and French toast, there is something for everyone. We recommend the Berry Berry Banana Waffle (featuring local blueberries, plus strawberry and banana) or the chocolate chip pancakes. Their Nutella French toast is also a fan favorite. Finish brunch with a sweet treat — like a cheese danish or apple pie — and you’ll leave with a smile.
The Breakfast Nook

Details: This cozy, hidden gem is the toast of town when it comes to brunch. The Breakfast Nook is known for their signature sandwiches like The Lumberjack (pepper jack cheese and three meats of choice) and Lil Diablo (diced jalapenos and chorizo on a jalapeno cheddar bagel), as well as their popular breakfast bowls. Their namesake Breakfast Nook Bowl features homefries, over easy eggs, bacon, chorizo, spinach, avocado, peppers, and onions with Hollandaise sauce. We also recommend the cream cheese stuffed brioche French toast.
Cafe Lift
Where: Haddonfield
Details: Cafe Lift is the perfect pick-me-up when you’re in need of a really great brunch. Open from 8am to 3pm daily, they have mastered the art of breakfast and lunch. Their inventive menu dares you to try something new; whether it’s their sweet corn frittata, pastrami cream chipped beef, or Jen’s Crespelle. The latter is an Italian-style crepe loaded with breakfast favorites and maple butter.
The Farm and Fisherman Tavern

Martini’s on Broadway
Where: Pitman
Details: Going to a bar for brunch? It’s true, weekend brunch has major flair at Martini’s on Broadway. The restaurant serves up buttermilk biscuits, chorizo quesadillas, and classic brunch cocktails (Mimosas, Bellinis, and Prosecco). You’ll also find traditional favorites like omelettes and Benedicts (we recommend the short rib Benedict), French toast, and pancakes. But their signature Brunch Burger always hits the spot. It’s a brioche bun with Angus beef patty, fried egg, candied bacon, melted cheddar, and fresh tomatoes.
Verna’s Flight Line Restaurant
Where: Millville
Details: There’s nothing quite like brunch at Verna’s, because there aren’t that many diners built on former military airfields. Now, the airport is used as a runway for private planes. This means patrons have an up close view of planes coming in and taking off. Verna’s offers daily breakfast and lunch specials, plus menu mainstays like their Country Fried Steak and Eggs. Whatever you order, make sure to try their famous chipped beef or sausage gravy. Our recommended brunch is the Pork Roll, Egg, & Cheese on a Brioche bun with an iced latte.
