“We visit the surfing Pig every time we are down here! Fabulous restaurant right on the bay. We have beautiful sunset pictures!
Went Friday night they were able to accommodate our party of 13 very easily. Ordered a few different starters for the table. my friend loved the raw oysters and bang shrimp. We enjoyed everything from crab cakes to grilled chicken to the Halibut special and the ribs. We all enjoyed our meals and will most definitely be back again!“

“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! 🦅“

“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!“

“The North End is my go to restaurant on and off island. Great place to bring the little ones as well. The food is great and reasonably priced. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive. Live entertainment unlike some of the nearby places isn't so loud that you can't have a conversation or hear yourself think. The bartenders are also very friendly and go out of their way to make sure my wife gets the best chocolate martinis anywhere.“

“My husband and I went for a long walk along the shore and discovered this gem. We love the friendly atmosphere and the great vibe. We had a wonderful time. Margarita was delicious, and the cold beer was just right. We will definitely be back here. Thank you!“

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.“

“Always go when in Cape May…fabulous food“

“our server, jennifer, was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, efficient and one of the best servers i ever had. Sean, the manager and sommelier was so knowledgeable about wine and gave us great a recommendation on an exquisite bottle of wine, which paired perfectly with our dinner. this restaurant surpassed our expectations“

“We’ve been a few times, and the food is consistently good.“

“We waited over 45 mins for our table. We were then seated out on the patio but the heater didn't work and we asked to move inside since it was cold. The table inside was broken and slanted to the point that our food was sliding off the plate. Service was good and food was yummy but the seating was a disaster.“

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

“Great food and a beautiful setting to enjoy it!!!“

“Beautiful view! Spacious rooms. Beach access. Pool. Restaurant on site. Parking. Friendly staff. We are having a great time!😊“

“We were drawn to this place because it seemed like a “real” restaurant rather a showplace for the latest trends. And it’s true! There are no “apps” here, and no “handhelds.”” It’s not fancy in the least, though the atmosphere is colorful and relaxing. The food’s not fancy either; instead, it’s simple, extremely plentiful and delicious. It was refreshing to be there!“

“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.“

“We enjoyed our day down the shore and eating at Wally's Our server Stephanie was friendly and fast. We had a problem with our cold coffee drinks and she fixed them right away. We will definitely be back again and recommend eating in to get out of the heat for a bit.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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.“

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

“Lot's of outside space, and delicious brunch. Look forward to going back in the summer“

“Great meal and friendly service. would recommend this place to everyone.“

“This was a wonderful dinner! The service was fantastic, Nemisimo (so sorry if this is spelled/pronounced wrong)was amazing! He gave great recommendations and was wonderful. The White Pearl an Apple Butter Bourbon were terrific and the scallops and shrimp pasta was one of the best I've ever had. 10/10“

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