4 Corners Diner

If you frequent AB a lot you know that this is the spot to come for breakfast on the beach! However, beware that there will ALWAYS be a line! Good news is, if your party is relatively small, you will not be waiting very long for a table to open up.
Do not expect anything extravagant here, this is your down home country breakfast. There is not one thing on the menu that isn’t delicious.
PS the perfect hangover cure ;)

When I moved to NC from NJ I knew I would never be able to eat at a real diner again. Then, lo and behold, we found the 4 corners. It is a real NJ aluminum diner. They build a facad over the front and an addition in the back… but inside its a REAL diner.
The food is quite good and the prices are fair.
All the servers and the owner, Tony are very friendly and its really a pleasure to eat there.
Highly recommended.

Typiquement américain et agréable pour le petit déjeuner.
J’y suis allé en compagnie de mon épouse le 25 juin 2015 pour le petit déjeuner. Ambiance typiquement américaine de bon goût. Nous avons pris deux déjeuners modestes à $ 3.95 sans café car nous en avions déjà pris à profusion au motel Hollowell’s où nous avons dormi qui est situé à deux pas. Notre serveuse était aimable et souriante.
Nous mettons quelques photos avec notre avis.
Nous recommandons le restaurant.

Extra half point for the great service from our waitress.
Me and my guy went for breakfast because… it’s a diner… of course you go for breakfast.
The place is nothing fancy, it has no real «décor». Just tables and chairs and a couple of dining areas that must have been expansions as their business grew.
We were greeted by a very friendly woman who I guess is the owner/​manager. She was friendly in a take charge kind of way and seated us promply in a quaint little corner of the diner.
Our waitress was with us in a flash and took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. As others have stated, the coffee needs some work. They probably get their coffee from a coffee service that provides the drip coffee machine and premeasured coffee packets. They should really look into alternatives, because the coffee has no real depth to it. But hey, I’m a coffee snob.
Breakfast was pretty basic, but good. Not gourmet fare, but again, this is not a fancy place. My guy had the vegetable omelette, hash browns, and a biscuit. He said it was pretty good. I had scrambled eggs and french toast with sausage links. I know that in diners it’s good to tell the waitress exactly how you want your eggs, and my eggs came back exactly how I ordered them. Don’t just tell them scrambled, tell them scrambled firm, or scrambled soft, etc. Their idea of a perfect scramble might be different from yours. Anyway, it was good. The french toast was just average but still good. They could up their game by having real maple syrup. The sausage was good, had nice carmelization on the outside and was not overly greasy.
If you’re looking for a place to have a «dining experience» or one of those fancy Mother’s Day type breakfasts, this is not your place. If you just want a simple good breakfast at a good price, you’ll be satisfied here. I can’t speak for the rest of the menu, but outside of the coffee, everything here was a-​ok.

If in Atlantic Beach, you must go to 4 Corners Diner. Good food and the service is good, too. Warning: if you are not into family owned-​greasy spoons, don’t go here. The place hasn’t been updated since probably 1979, but that’s cool cuz it’s like taking a step back in time.
I do have to say that i was disappointed in the coffee. it was yucky, which is surprising since joints like this usually have great coffee.
