“The best dinner I've ever had! The Grilled Octopus was amazing, the Caesar Salad was awesome...the Scallops were delicious...but the Ricotta, Honey, Almond and Nutella Torte was out of this world! Amy was the best waitress, her attentiveness and service were stellar! We cannot wait to go back!“

“Everything was perfect!! Food was outstanding! Service was fantastic. Very chill atmosphere. I highley recommend.“

“Brett was an excellent server. Friendly but not intrusive. In a booth , very comfortable. But near a table of 9 extremely loud, thankfully they left before our food arrived. Looks like outside does not have large tables so might be a better choice if you want quiet.“

“Hi I want to sing my praises to two of your waitresses that went above and beyond during our meals while vacationing in Wild Woods. Our first Experience and 2nd we had the pleasure of having “Niki” and truly we could not ask for better service than she offered,her tone,her understanding and the way she treated my toddler is immeasurable and the small details that were paid attention to were not found in other establishments we tried. I hope she knows how valued and appreciated she is by our family! We stopped in for one last meal before heading back to MD and we were cared for. A waitress I don’t re call a name but long curly hair,and a smile that lit up a room and was welcoming,her table side manner was fantastic she joked with us and also treated my daughter remarkably well where again other establishments frowned upon her questions or acted as she wasn’t talking. Furthermore,Noticing the whole atmosphere was a fantastic vibe, Everyone was smiling and working as a team. Can’t wait to return !“

“Great dinner waitresses were great fast service excellent meal“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥 must stop when visiting sea isle city“

“Such an amazing experience! The cheesesteak,sausage & peppers, gyro, and funnel cake were absolutely delicious, but the hospitality made it even better. Everyone was so kind and welcoming…Truly one of the best memories from our New Jersey boardwalk vacation. We’ll definitely be back!“

“If you're down in Wildwood Crest and you're looking for something to hit the spot for breakfast, lunch or a late night snack then I've got just the spot, well then Sun Of A Beach This Place Is For YOU! The girls at the counter were so professional and polite. Shane could not have been nicer, and made sure everything was exactly what we ordered and our breakfast was dynamite! We'll definitely be stopping back for some ice cream or milkshakes. 10/10 would highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The Water Star Grille is the outdoor restaurant on the bay at the Reeds in stone Harbor. The food is expensive, but that comes with the territory. Our server was very pleasant and the quality of all the food we ordered was great. I was disappointed that you only get 6 oyster half shells for $28.....but I should have asked about quantity before ordering. I am pretty sure that I have never only received 6 oysters when ordering an iced tray of oysters before. The reason to go here for dinner is the view of the sunset over the bay for dinner outside on a beautiful summer day.“

“Food is great, awesome salad bar and amazing service“

“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.“

“Grew up 3 blocks from the orginal Texas weiner called the Greeks in South philly. And these taste just like they came from there.“

“We were down the past couple of weekends in North Wildwood, stopped at one of our favorites and got great-sized Maryland crabs the one weekend and, then, last night some clams & lobster tails. Always a pleasure seeing the staff. Always fast & friendly“

“First and last stop at wildwood every year !“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

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

“Best Dinner in the area great prices“

“WoW WoW WoW ! Today was my first time dining here and it certainly won’t be my last. Everything was incredible. Shrimp tempura for a starter and it was outstanding. The salmon dish was out of this world and like no other salmon entrée I have ever had. You will not be disappointed and the service was top notch! Well Done jays on third“

“The best cheesesteaks!!!!!“

“This place was outrageous. Here I was thinking it was only hot dogs and corn dogs, and they pull out a double-sided menu with mozz sticks, empanadas, loaded fries, Mex corn, the best funnel cakes you’ve ever seen or tasted, ice cream, fried chocolates and Oreo’s, and the funniest shirts you’ll ever wear.“

“This was our first time at Lemma's and it definitely won't be the last. We went for breakfast and everything was top notch. Everything we had tasted incredible not to mention the family atmosphere. The staff was so incredibly friendly. This is definitely a great place for breakfast or lunch.“

“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!“

“5 stars! The food is cooked well and seasoned perfectly. Had a quesadilla last night and had to come again for the tacos! Very friendly staff and cute atmosphere. They have lots of drink choices and cheap prices. Family friendly and they bring the food out so fast I was impressed. Definitely the best authentic Mexican in the area!“

“Best local place to watch any Philadelphia sports teams play! It’s my favorite place on the island for good food, enthusiastic atmosphere, and fun drinks! If you do plan to watch a game, make sure you show up waaaay early to get a seat! 🦅“

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

“Charming restaurant with friendly staff and excellent food. The menu has traditional dishes and comfort food. I loved how cozy the dining area was with plush booths and etched glass. I came here specifically for The Crab Au Gratin, something I rarely see on menus these days. I highly recommend pairing it with pasta in a butter garlic sauce. My husband said the fish and chips were excellent and we just came back from the UK. They had a nice kids menu and my son enjoyed the fried shrimp. The pricing was reasonable for a shore town. It's located between stone harbor and cape may. We'll return again!“

“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.“

“best breakfast and service“

“Love the location in Townsend Inlet and close to the beach. Spacious and clean condo with room to spread out with our group. Can catch the jitney to the bars and other restaurants.“
