Dining at Wild Honey was a delightful experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional, the staff attentive, and the ambiance was perfect for a cozy evening. Highly recommended! Will definitely be back

This place is absolutely dreadful. It certainly served me and my party the worse BBQ food we've ever had in our lives. This was also the worst food we've ever had in Atlantic City. The brisket was dry and looked like leather; it was chewy and without any flavor. The ribs appeared to have been cooked, then re-cooked, and then re-cooked a third time. There was a crust on them, they were dry, and they had no flavor to the meat. None of us could stomach to eat even half of what we were served. For a hint on their "value", the BBQ comes with coleslaw; but when it arrived, it was a single spoonful of coleslaw in a teeny tiny cup. We remained pleasant and didn't complain - hoping that somebody would care and perhaps offer different food or cancel our check. But, there was no manager present and nobody who seemed to care about how the restaurant was being run. Our indifferent server was obviously used to the bad food because she didn't even ask why we didn't finish our meals or if (upon seeing half-full plates) we wanted take home boxes; she simply snapped "So, do you want your check?" Unfortunately, because of its location, this foul restaurant makes the Tropicana look bad. They would do well to find a different restaurant tenant in this location.

Only 1 person performing as hostess, waitress and buster. That person was overwhelmed. Definitely understaffed. Observed other groups of people leave because of wait times. Food: omelette not fully cooked, bacon was raw. Muffin not grilled as requested. Pancake was dry and overcooked. Very poor experience. Do not recommend this restaurant for breakfast.

It was very good and our waitress was excellent. She understood the menu and answered all our questions. Brisket, 1/2 a smoked chicken, large biscuits and enormous cornbread muffins. Bread was a little dense but flavorful. The sauces were yummy. Seasonal Halloween cocktails were tasty.

My husband and I chose Wild Honey for a date night, hoping for a fun dinner before catching a show at the Atlantic City Comedy Club next door. He's a big BBQ fan, so I thought it would be a great surprise. Unfortunately, the experience fell flat. The atmosphere was a loud sports bar tucked inside a casino. We ordered the 3-meat combo: ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. The ribs and cornbread were the only highlights. The brisket was dry, the pulled pork was mushy, and everything lacked seasoning. Even the sides—mac & cheese, baked beans, and collard greens—were bland. The mac & cheese was watery, though the onion rings on the greens were decent. The ribs had a bit of smoky flavor, which helped, especially when dipped in the BBQ sauce provided at the table. We ended up leaving most of the food untouched and didn't bother with to-go boxes. I can be a bit picky, but my husband usually isn't—so his disappointment spoke volumes. Service was okay, but our server seemed stretched thin, juggling too many tables. Overall, we won't be returning.

Ordered beef ribs had to send back nothing but fat on ribs and sides were not good either my son lamb chops were just ok he said with fries and was charged almost $70 for his lamb chops and a order of wings that I ordered after my food was sent back. We waited so long for the wings I tried to tell the waitress I didn't want it anymore, but she brought them out and charged me for them anyway. As a courtesy for the inconvenience the manager should have gave me the wings. First and last time I go here.

this was our second time here. Not sure what happened but the food just wasnt good. The coleslaw had zero taste. the ribs were just ok. the service was great but the food left much to be desired.

Mark

Really good food. Exceptional service. All staff were focused on making our experience the best it could be.

I went to this place because of a Instagram review. Of course the video made it look way more appealing than it actually was. The food was ok and not bad but not worth the hype and the price. It was a lil pricey for a bbg place. I guess maybe because it's located inside of a casino. The server also got my husband's order wrong and we weren't compensated for it. And the apology made us feel like we were wrong. I've had better bbq from restaurants similar to this and I didn't break the bank and the service was decent. I won't be dining here anytime soon.

Service with a smile, but forgot to put out plates before the appetizers were served. The spare ribs were returned...too fatty. Wood was mediocre and pricey. Would not go back.

Didn't even get to order food, I had a beer and left because it was over packed and understaffed.

Delicious BBQ at a decent price (in today's world). Big plates of tasty meats. A nice experience at the Quarter at Tropicana.

Really good pulled pork sandwich for only $7 during happy hour. Regular price is $19, and includes tater tots and slaw. I don't need tots, so this was a real bargain. And their Carolina Gold mustard sauce was great (I liked it better than their barbeque sauce)

Food served was not what was on the menu but when asked if I could substitute side was told no. Corn bread dry and has hard pieces of corn in it. The bbq was tasty and the seasoning on the ribs was tasty.
