“We went for breakfast after hearing from my dad how amazing the food is and he wasn’t lying. Everything was delicious, if you like a little spice I highly recommend the fire feta avocado toast. Everything we got tasted amazing. The staff were so attentive and super friendly. The owners/staff came out and talked to each table and they know their regular customers by name. If you are looking for someplace new to eat…definitely check them out, you won’t be disappointed.“

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

“This restaurant is amazin! We ate breakfast there once and dinner twice on our vacation. Very good food and wait staff. Nice Friendly people to be around“

“We happened upon this establishment on Thursday as we were leaving WW. I must say that Ric's has some new customers from PA. We will definitely be shopping here again. The Deviled Crab is phenomenal, the chicken parm linguini melted in your mouth and the butterfly shrimp 🍤 is amazing. We brought home 2lb. of cleaned and seasoned xl shrimp that were gone before noon on Friday. The young man working the front was respectful and helpful. We ordered takeout due to the seagulls swarming the place but there is limited outdoor seating.“

“I've eaten here a number of times over the years and thankfully it's stayed exactly the same every time I've been in. The portions are amazing and the prices, very reasonable! It's absolutely one of the very few places you can go here on the island and be able to spend $25 and get lunch for 2 and leave the waitress a healthy tip. My wife and my favorite is their Chicken Caesar Salad. The lettuce always has a nice fresh crunch to it the chicken is cooked perfectly and I've never had a time it was ever dry here. The Caesar comes with dressing on it and it's always been just the right amount in my taste, never too much but never have I wanted to ask for more... The atmosphere is wonderful both inside and out at the garage bar where because I have a love for outdoor dining I tend to sit more often. I never have felt like we were forgotten or needed to request anything while out there. Every time I've eaten in either part of the restaurant everyone, from the hostess, to the waitress, to even the bussers have never been anything but polite and helpful with smiles on their faces and always a helpful word when stumped on what to get from the menu! Always a win both on and off season and always somewhere I stop when I'm in town!!“

“The crushers were very refreshing after a warm day and the ‘U peel shrimp’ were EXCELLENT (a half pound is plenty for two people). The crab cakes were also delicious and decent portions. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“From out of town and we had 16 people in to eat. Food came out timely, drinks were made quickly and everything was delicious. Alaina and Jules went out of their way on a Friday night to help me locate a receipt (remotely) so I could turn it in for reimbursement. Above and beyond on the service!“

“Keenan’s is one of my favorite places to visit in North Wildwood.!!! I was there as recently as last night. They have a nice crowd even during the day and always have a great atmosphere. The people are very welcoming and friendly with the customers The food is really good!
The service is amazing. It gets very busy in the bar and the bartenders are always right there to get your next drink. I love the fact that you can sit inside or outside. No matter where you sit. They have a band outside and inside. Not only do they have a band, they have some of the best bands in whole in the island.
I highly recommend Keenan’s as a place for you to go and have a great time!
you won’t be disappointed. ??? ??? ???“

“Do you have a trusted manager who is very reliable and dependable? Hurry up and start your trade with Mrs Craig Vanessa she is the best among all. I have tried 2 of them but she proves me right and helps me gain high profit. So why don't you invest with her so you can start making decent profit on crypto. All I did was to make the first deposit and I made my withdrawal yesterday. I'm so happy and excited please and please hurry up and start earning money for the future now. I'm going to invest for my children. For more information, visit her Facebook Page: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“I absolutely recommend Peter Shields Inn for a wedding venue. We had a small wedding on the beach and our wedding dinner was handled by Peter Shields. We worked with Amy (their event coordinator) and she was so helpful in every way. She went above and beyond to make everything so easy for us. I literally handed them a box of our wedding decorations and the tables and everything was set up perfectly! I didn’t have to lift a finger. Their bartender served up our signature drinks with a smile. Our guitarist serenaded guests on the porch while they enjoyed cocktails and wonderful hors doeurves. Dinner was seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had. Perfection hands down!“

“This place is the real deal. The food was fantastic, the decor/environment was perfect for the beach. Our family cannot wait to return next year! I wish it was in my town! The staff was outstanding. The table we sat at was a shadow box type,it had shells and things for the kids (and us adults) to look at during our very short wait for food. 10/10.“

“The food is absolutely incredible! The service is top notch!“

“This place has the best grilled cheese and fantastic customer service! My boyfriend goes every year and I finally got the chance to this year. His favorite is the chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese and the day we went they had a smash burger grilled cheese as a special that I got. Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend for anyone in town!“

“Enjoyed The Y.B. during restaurant week. Was our first time and we will be back. Everything was fresh and well presented. The service was excellent. I’ve probably walked past this little gem a hundred times and never stopped in for a meal. I’m just sorry I didn’t try it sooner! Thanks for an excellent meal! We can’t wait to come back! Cheers!“

“Food is amazing staff needs to pick the pace up alittle they like to stand around and talk and decide when they help you … we waited at hostess booth while 3 people saw us … then when paying the bill 3 ladies were standing there talking. They finished there conversation while me & the kids waited till they were done talking to come and help us …. To me working in retail I’ve always been told customers come first …. Just saying“

“We had an absolute perfect dining experience. Each course was outstanding. Peach & Burrata salad, delicious. Scallops perfectly done and chocolate panna cotta so good. Loved every thing about Grana BYOB.“

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

“Excellent food and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant if your in the area. Prices where very reasonable.“

“Dining at Wally’s was a delight. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and their service was top-notch. The food was exceptional—flavorful, beautifully presented, and perfectly portioned. I highly recommend Wally’s for anyone looking for a great meal and outstanding service. Will definitely be back!“

“The refreshed interior looked great & the place was packed — nice to see & great for the hardworking owners. There was a private event of 100 upstairs, sports on every TV and Quizzo game going on downstairs, plus regular dinner seating. The staff was unable to keep up with the crush even with the owner contributing at every position. We had to ask several times for missing courses, but they ultimately did deliver. Once received the food was good.“

“Thought I would try an upscale dish (since they were offering it) to see how a Boardwalk Restauranteur would perform. I ordered the Shrimp Pasta with Marinara. Needless to say, I was "Stunned"! This is a favorite dish of mine and I usually reserve ordering it to finer esoteric Bistros and Trattorias I frequent. Yes, I dare say it, BOLDLY that the Chef Olympic Flame not only went "toe to toe" with the finer eateries I am familiar with but actually bettered the lot of 'em!! After this most satisfying experience, I was desperate to meet the Chef behind this most Perfect Pasta dish. The waitstaff directed me to the Chef, who was extremely appreciative when I explained the aforementioned to him. Anyone out there visiting the Jersey Shore and wants to have a truly "Unique" dining experience, I strongly recommend ordering the Shrimp Pasta (or any Pasta Course) "The" Olympic Flame Restaurant. You Will Not Be Disappointed!!“

“This was our third experience dining at SAX, and each time has been wonderful! The waitstaff are always friendly and very accommodating; and the food is exceptional. In warmer months they offer outdoor dining with a fabulous view of the sunset.“

“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.“

“Awesome Food,great service Love this place very relaxing and the food is to die for ,it's fit for a king?“

“We went for lunch and really enjoyed our meal. We ordered the chicken cordon blue sandwich and the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Both were generous in their portions. Both sandwiches came with french fries and this part was not so great as it appeared and tasted like they had been cooked previously and then reheated. If we go again, we will ask that the fries be freshly made!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

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

“There seems to be a million different food places up and down the Wildwoods Boardwalk. If you are looking for a good sausage sandwich then this is it!!! I was not expecting it to be the serving size for two people. It was so good, I didn’t even share. Keep up the good work!“

“I’m all for tradition, but after 207 years, I think it’s time for a makeover, even for Congress Hall. 🐷“

“We had a great breakfast and an awesome waiter Angelo!!“
