“Excellent!! Our only disappointment is that we just discovered this Wildwood gem after coming here for years. Everything was fantastic & the staff were all awesome! The live music was the icing on the cake. Fantastic!”
“The vegetarian chicken parmigiana was out of this world and the bruschetta flat bread, perfection. We will be back.”
“We have ate here a few times. The atmosphere is great. It’s fun, the live music is awesome, lots to do for families. Also Jade is a great waitress-and Umberto, who we think is a manager was always hustling around here making sure things were taken care of. If you are in Wildwood you need to check this place out.”
“Awesome restaurant. I’m in town for the Elks convention and staying in a hotel right next door. I kept walking by and smelling the food and seeing the meals. Me and my friends stopped by today. I got the sushi which was fabulous. The drinks were awesome also. Great time. I’ll be back!”

“I chose this restaurant for my husband’s birthday dinner. We had an amazing meal in a pretty setting. Aside from being extremely impressed with all of the flavors, from appetizer to dessert, our server, Ari (not sure I’m spelling it correctly) was just the sweetest, knowledgeable and kind young woman. She was very attentive but not annoyingly. There were other servers walking around making sure tables were cleared of finished apps, salads and such. They work as a team and made the experience so enjoyable. Everything flowed so smoothly. We enjoyed delicious cocktails and the food was so on point. We’re giving Santorini ALL the stars! We will most definitely be back, again and again!”

“After USCG graduation in Cape May we spent the afternoon along the boardwalk. Our new graduate wanted a cheeseburger so we happened upon the Doo Wop Diner. The waitress was one of the best we’ve ever had anywhere. She was kind, pleasant, attentive and made great food recommendations. All 6 of us had cheeseburgers with zero complaints. I recommend the fried pickle burger with added pepper jack cheese. It’s not cheap for a big family but the atmosphere and service was def worth the price. The French fries were over the top delish too.”
“At first I was skeptical. Any time I see a smaller aged establishment I go in with mild expectations. Everything was great though. The bacon egg and cheese was great. They made the bacon just how I like it. Close to well done but not quite. The waffles the pancakes all great. Breakfast is my favorite meal and I hate risking it on places like this, because sometimes the are a big miss. This place on the other hand was a pleasant surprise and made me think to my self, maybe I need to be more open minded. Try this place you won't be disappointed.”
“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.”
“Hands down, one of the best hidden gems around!
Grab a Wiener at Zein’s Corner is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience. From the moment you walk up, you feel the welcoming vibe, and once you take your first bite, you know you’ve stumbled on something special.
The hot dogs are next-level: perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor. The toppings are fresh and creative, letting you build your own or go for their signature combos. Each bite has that perfect balance of savory, tangy, and satisfying crunch. The portions are generous, the prices are more than fair, and everything tastes like it’s been made with real care.
What really sets this spot apart, though, is the atmosphere. Zein’s Corner feels like the kind of place you can drop by anytime—whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on your own, hanging out with friends, or introducing out-of-towners to a local favorite. The staff is friendly, fun, and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes every visit feel personal.
If you’re craving comfort food that hits the spot every single time, Grab a Wiener at Zein’s Corner should be at the top of your list. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked. 😉”

“My family and I go to Wildwood every year and discovered Hatillo’s. I have a gluten allergy and find it difficult to eat out at restaurants and enjoy food. I wanted to know if it was possible for them to fry some foods separately for me. The owners were very willing to accommodate my food allergy. They let me know all of the ingredients in all of the foods that I ordered to make sure it was ok with my diet. I truly appreciated the effort that they put into making sure that there was no cross contamination. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was phenomenal!!”

“A 1 star experience that became 5
The 1 star
Saturday August 16th we arrived for breakfast at 10:15 am. We ordered iced coffee and the gentleman serving us asked, is that just coffee over ice? Me and my wife looked at each other and thought that would be terrible. We were correct, it was watered down coffee. We asked if we could substitute home fries for fruit and he simply said “no” without offering us an item that would be an up charge or any other option. The chocolate milk and lemonade came out in 4 oz cups and we figured there were no refills because he didn’t come back once to ask us if we would like more to drink. He missed our son’s omelette order, so we waited at least 15 minutes for that to come out.
The 5 star
Around 1045 am our waiter disappeared and we were blessed with a new waitress, when we told her about the previous waiter, the hot coffee on ice, the not checking on our drink situation and the missing omelette, she apologized and was so sweet in a genuine way to us for the rest of our meal. She asked if the kids needed refills and we told her we didn’t know they offered refills. She then at the very end sent us with cold brew iced offer and we were surprised because we received $14 worth of watered down iced coffees when they served cold brew.
Due to how excellent the second waitress was I was inclined to change my 1 star review to a 5 star review but the waitress knew about how terrible the first waiter was and someone should look into it so that others do not receive this treatment.
We ordered the sausage breakfast burrito, french toast, and a couple of omelets and all of the food was tasty and came out warm.”
“Nancy and Luke were so kind, personable, and welcoming, I’m so happy I stopped here. The drinks were amazing and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was so laid back. I can’t wait come back, thank you!!”

“I've been enjoying Macks Pizza since 1971 when my parents let an 11 year old walk the boardwalk alone for the first time. Mrs T was one of my first memories. we've been several times a year since and each of my children and grandkids have had their first slice of pizza at Macks. Yes, I happily drive 2 and a half hours to load up on the best Pizza ever!!”
“The atmosphere is great, all employees are polite and friendly. Today I had the pleasure of being served by Regina. She is bubbly person and puts a smile on everyone's face. Truly a delightful person. I would have no reservations in recommending the Surf Side West..”
“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 !”
“The Pierogie are delicious! Not only do they the traditional potato & onion the way my Mom use to make them….but potato & jalapeño; sauerkraut; bacon….with your choice of toppings…, It does not end there…they have dessert ones too…strawberry; blueberry; & cream cheese … with a special topping! Please check it out! Yum!!!”
“We moved to the island 3 years ago after living in Villas for over 30 years. Use to go off island for our pizza but needed to try local again after past disappointment. My grandchildren, 6 and 8 couldn't stop raving how delicious it was! (They r pizza experts) and I agree. Polite, fast and delishious. No complaints except wish I ordered more. Definitely will be our new pizza go too. 10 stars”
“The wife and I were out and about and decided to try the Waterside location in Lakewood Ranch Fl. I have to say im a bit of a critic because we have family in Maine and have tasted all ends of the spectrum of lobster rolls from amazing to terrible and this place makes a great Lobster rolls with a spot on price comparable to Maine and other restaurants in the area. The staff member we dealt with was super nice I wish I would have got his name, but I do know he was from Jersey and had great knowledge knew the product well. We had 2 Connecticut rolls and they were great. I would say this place is worth checking out. Theres only outdoor seating, but you can easily walk around waterside and find a spot to kick back and enjoy or walk out enjoy their outdoor seating and it will complement their lobster rolls very well. They also have nice little selection of beers/beverages and a whole N/A fridge too.”

“I love this little Café that's tucked away here in North Wildwood on New York Ave and 18th Ave. This was my daily stop while working this summer. My favorite was a dbl. shot of iced cold brew! Stronger and smoother than Starbucks!!! AMAZING 😋 Not only do they have the best coffee drinks, the choice of pastries is amazing also, you haven't had a donut until you try theirs, huge and delicious. Muffins are also delicious. My favorite is the Crumb Cake OMG!!!! What a treat! The waffles are also delicious. Now for the owners, AMAZING. They are so kind and really know how to treat their customers. Now for the girls who are absolutely AMAZING also!!! As soon as they see me, they know exactly what I want and get it ready 💖 They are so efficient and work with the best attitude I have ever seen in my life. Always smiling and happy. I'm really going to miss this great Café when they close up for the season 😭 Have a wonderful winter ☃️❄️☃️ and I'm counting the weeks until next season ❤️💖❤️”

“Yesterday my son ordered the jerk chicken sandwich. It came on a sesame seed bun which he is allergic too. They were so accommodating when I asked if they could put it on a wrap. The cook was so worried about cross contamination, so she remade it for him and didn’t just slap the old chicken on a wrap. Love this place!”

“We ordered the Moowich. It was SO good! It's a donut cut in half, they drizzle your choice of topping on one side, a generous scoop of ice cream on the other, squish it together and pop it in some kind of waffle maker looking device to seal the deal. Then they roll the whole thing in sugar. Honestly, they're a little pricy at $10 a piece, considering what it is. But it was a unique treat. The woman at the counter was friendly, we were there in the off season and they weren't busy so we chatted with her for a bit. The atmosphere could have been improved with some music, it felt oddly quiet without any. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place.”
“Our family LOVES going to the Hershey's Ice Cream Wildwood shop! They not only serve the BEST ice cream treats but their crepes and funnel cakes are out of this world! They also serve up smiles with a friendly staff! Our children love going there every day! well and night, too! Enjoy!”

“We recently ordered from China House and were incredibly impressed! We had a large order of six different combination platters, and they got every single one right, which is truly appreciated with a bigger order.
Beyond the perfect accuracy, the food was absolutely delicious.”
“If you haven't been to this place, the Mister softee music plays on a continual loop. The employees there are true warriors, or suffering from Stockholm syndrome.My friend and I decided to order the easiest things possible. Those employees were holding it together like that music wasn't even playing.Friend accidentally ordered me vanilla instead of chocolate, but I wasn't about to start a fuss at this place, yet despite not being much of a vanilla gal, I quite enjoyed my delicious ice cream cone.”
“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.”
“This really was a Great Place and the Food....OMG if you like Heat you definitely will Love this Place. Great People and the Portions...Oh Lord enough for 2 people....their Chicken Fajitas were Delisious...Salmon was So Good and the Shrimp...I mean everything we had was just Good. Great People. Thank You”
“The ice cream sandwich is good. I enjoyed picking my cookies and ice cream. However, they do not have as much ice cream as the pictures on their Facebook account or at the store. I'm hoping that is because they are training and it will get better. I will give them another chance. Margate”
“Awesome Food,great service Love this place very relaxing and the food is to die for ,it's fit for a king?”
“This is the spot if you are looking for great food and a family friendly atmosphere! The food was perfect, zero issues. This is the spot you want to spend your hard earned money, a family business. The highlight was talking to Joe and his wife. He is surrounded by his family and it shows that he is proud that they are all working together and serving a great product. This will be our new spot when we come on vacation! See you next year Joe!”
“We stayed here from Aug 30-Sept 1 2024. Absolutely an amazing stay. I would say this hotel is not one you stay in if you’re there for a whole week and expect to live in your room but for us it was everything we needed at a fantastic price. The room was clean, comfortable, updated and all around great. The staff, let me tell You how wonderful they are, we needed to check in later they said “okay we got it” no issues, our room was cleaned and refreshed within an hour of us being out the door and back from the store. We asked for a later check out and they had no issue giving us an extra hour. They were beyond accommodating when we needed assistance the day we checked out and even offered to let us use the accommodations they provide for guests. We will be coming back and staying here again.”
“Boardwalk facing location with great views of the amusement piers. Really good sandwich options - cheesesteaks, buffalo wraps, and even lobster rolls. Don’t miss out on the bang-bang shrimp and have a Coronorita to go with it! Great fun!”
“took both my son's there for dinner . Great atmosphere food was delicious. Most definitely Recommend.”
“We had an amazing experience on our wedding day last weekend at Duffinetti’s. The owner was extremely accommodating and dedicated to making our day extra special. She allowed us to drop our wedding cake off prior to opening for storing, served an amazing meal for our large party, served our wedding cake and even arranged the performer to play our wedding song for our first dance. We couldn’t thank her and the staff enough for making our day amazing.”

“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!!”
“Had an away HS match in Wildwood. Instead of going to Wawa again to get a bite before the bus ride home, I took the team to Crazy Junky. 14 of us were accommodated for pizza, salads, and cheesesteaks. All reviews from the team were excellent. The pizza was delicious and the service was friendly. Would recommend other HS teams traveling to Wildwood to stop by for a visit too.”
“I was a die hard Mack’s fan until we decided to try a pizza option that was outside the box in 2023. Crazy Junkie Pizza next to the Boardwalk Chapel is Amazing. The ingredients are so fresh and flavorful. The pizza is a work of art. Taste is one of a kind. Staff is so friendly and welcoming. We were just there this week for the second time while on our yearly vacation to Wildwood. The quality, tastes, and flavor profile was exactly as we remembered from last year. If you are tired of the same old pizza offerings and want an adventurous alternative then Crazy Junkie pizza hits that mark. I never write reviews for things but felt compelled to recommend this amazing hidden gem. You would be crazy to pass up the opportunity while in Wildwood. Thanks for becoming a family tradition when we visit.”

“I had the good fortune of dining at Tara's kitchen several weeks ago. In my opinion both the food and also the service was outstanding. The dish I ordered was a vegetarian dish. The manner in which the spices were added was applied with mastery. Tara kitchen of wildwood is a true treasure not to be missed by all those either living or visiting Cape May County.”
