The staff were all friendly and professional and the atmosphere is fun. The 50's music and decor adds alot to the place. The prices are good and family friendly.

“Stopped in here for the Summer Mummers after party.We've stopped in a couple of times before over the past few months since they've opened, but never stayed.The (basic bar) food was good. Joanna (the hostess) and Susan, our server, were both lovely and kind.They had no bitters = no old fashioneds.“

“When I am at the shore and I think seafood, I think Back Bay Seafood. Honestly, best crab cakes I ever had. And let’s not forget the broiled scallops, and stuffed shrimp, and the list goes on! Amazing food, high quality, and excellent customer service. Not to mention, family-owned business that appreciates their customers and are dedicated to providing quality meals, the kind you eat with your friends and family and make those down-the-shore memories. Can’t say enough good things about Back Bay, except I’ll be back real soon!“

“Love the Bread & Cheese Cupboard!! It’s a must visit, year after year. Thank you for being one of my favorite locations in Stone Harbor 🧡“

“First and last stop at wildwood every year !“

“The cleanliness, fast service, excellent staff from front to back, food, and prices are quite excellent. We’ve been going to this particular Hotspot for many years and I don’t ever recall anything that we ever received being anything but excellent. I highly recommend. Some of the reviews on here I find just simply mean spirited.“

“Our new favorite in CMC. Everything was fantastic. That appetizer that's a big plate of various meats is my new favoritest thing ever.“

“Such a great place to eat. Food was so good and employees were so nice. Can’t wait to come back 😊“

“Obsesseddd with the seafood carbonara, Green bean fries, southwestern wrap, bang bang shrimp, etc. 🤤“

“Tried the Jake's famous pork sandwich.
Asked the lady behind the counter if it was sharp provolone and she said it was but once I tried it, it was not sharp at all. Ok no big deal but took a star from the service.
The pork is good but slightly over chopped, The broccoli rabbe was just balanced but not sauteed.
Nonetheless, the sandwich was tasty.“

“Service is fantastic every time we are there.“

“Best Dinner in the area great prices“

“The best cheesesteaks!!!!!“

“Warm Bread Pudding!!! Yum“

“One of our favorite spots!!!Good food and great kid friendly atmosphere!“

“Owens is great, I live off island and have not been in years. You have definitely stayed consistent over the year's and did not disappoint. Ended up playing muisc trivia and it was so much fun. I ate the bacon wrapped scallops, they were perfectly cooked and the gluten free italian chicken wrap 😋 Great night!“

“Best Guiness in Wildwood & excellent food...Favorite Pub in all of Wildwood! Be back in middle of August! SLAINTE“

“Historic establishment with a great bar and friendly locals vibe. Just had drinks with a salad for 2 and the best clam chowder. I especially liked this chowder because the white sauce was very smooth and rich without being starchy. They obviously used cream and not just corn starch as a thickening agent. So not just a bar but some real ‘cheffing’ going on. Good for them.“

“Great food great service. Daniele our server was super sweet and so accommodating“

“Steak Out serves a great breakfast! Love stopping here while we are vacationing in Sea Isle. We have been going there for over 20 years. The atmosphere is cozy, cute, small beach town vibes. Breakfast is amazing! Coffee is great! Staff is nice and place is always clean!“

“Wish more people would write reviews for the Oceana BYOB, it was such a excellent experience during our stay at the resort! The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the food was fresh and delicious! We loved our conversation with Joanie on our last day!!! Thank you!“

“Friendly staff, beginning with two elderly gentlemen there on Saturdays. Very welcoming. And remains good from there“

“Great food, amazing coffee, and attentive service, my coffee was never empty! The G's Special is a delicious sandwich, my recommendation is to order a side of scrapple or any other meat to add to it. It takes it to the next level. The perfect start to a beach day!“

“I am very picky when it comes to cheesesteaks & I'm from Philadelphia. I had gotten their BBQ chicken cheesesteak I devoured it it was soooo goood!!!! 10000/10 rating definitely going there again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’re locals and chose Sax at the Reeds to celebrate our anniversary on a Tuesday night in September. Since many of the local steakhouses were closed, we decided to give Sax a try — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our server, Patrick, was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, and even made something as simple as choosing a steak knife a fun and memorable experience. He explained where the knives came from, what they were made of, and offered his favorite — such a unique touch! The food was just as impressive. I went with a mix of apps and a salad — the shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp!), perfectly seared local scallops (I was expecting three and got closer to eight!), and the truffle cheese burrata salad, which was loaded with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, basil, balsamic reduction, sea salt, and basil oil. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the New York Strip with truffle fries and grilled asparagus — a perfectly cooked, hearty steak that left him very satisfied. We left completely full and so happy with our experience. Sax exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors looking for a special dinner spot!“
