50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Wildwood Crest

“Fresh cooked and delicious breakfast options. Great Service as well. Let's talk about the pancake batter...the BEST!!“

“Great place!! We went on a hot day, they have fans running and even bug spray available (we didn’t need it) Very fun for my 14yo son and i, clean and staff super friendly! The water ice at the end was amazing and refreshing Thank you!“

“Had the pleasure of coming here with a good friend today. I am a cappuccino snob, this was one of the best I’ve had stateside in a LONG time. The Ricotta jam toast was the perfect combination of sweet (blueberries were just perfect) and creamy. Adorable location with a beautiful view that just cant be beat. Kind staff, quick service too. Great prices for the incredible quality of food and beverage they provide as well. I can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu!“

“Great food and service highly recommend“

“So, I'm an old timer. I was a patron of the Crest Tavern in the 1980's. At the time it was a great dive-bar with yard long beer glasses & a local feel.

Now, it's an upscale establishment with great food, great beer & a local feel.

Most people that I've met here still remember the old times. I can't help but reminisce about the old days here.

BTW, the chicken pot pie is awesome 👌 (only on Wednesday)“

“My family and I have stayed here two years in a row and feel like this will be our go-to spot for a while! They are a block and a half away from the beach which is GREAT, especially with kids and beach items. Both years, we were accommodated to have first floor rooms to make it easier with the kids. There is a pool, sun deck, and even a little breakfast & lunch restaurant attached for easy meals.

They are clean and don’t smell like other musty motels along the shore!

Rooms: We had two beds, ample space and they were newly painted.

Nearby activities: It is 2 blocks from the beach! You can easily walk there And a few blocks (from a fishing and boating dock by car.

Walkability: There are sidewalks everywhere and people walk to the beach with ease from this location. We have two cafes we like that are nearby and easy to walk to as well.

Food and drinks: There is a small restaurant for breakfast and lunch on the property. Other little cafes are walking distance about two blocks!“

“The only difficulty you'll have at The Smash Shack is deciding which of their items to pick! The cheesesteak is one of the best we've had — definitely get it with Cooper cheese and onions. For breakfast, the pork roll, egg, and cheese (also with Cooper) is amazing. And a beach front smash burger is tough to beat. A pro tip: grab your food to go and eat it across the street on the sand! Just watch for the seagulls.“

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!“

“Such an amazing experience for my sister in laws bachelorette party! A fun activity to do on a day down in Cape May. Food and wine were absolutely wonderful & the staff was super helpful and friendly when we had questions about wine pairings. 10/10 activity!“

The picture of the beer menu is only half of what they have on tap.“

“Superb craft cocktails made from on-site distilled, farm-to-bottle spirits. Whiskey, bourbon, gin, rum and vodka. Chill, relaxed atmosphere on a preserved farm craft distillery.“

“We joined the "First Pour Tour" a couple of weeks ago, and we had a great time. Mary, our guide, provided an excellent and entertaining overview of the brewery's history and operations. She was very knowledgeable and congenial. We got to taste a few of the brews, and we left with a number of beers that are only available at the brewery. We've been a fan of their products for years, but this was the first time we made it out to the brewery. We'd certainly go again. Thanks, Mary!“

“Been Going for more than 25 years“

“Super delish turkey bowls! Gravy was a little sweet for me and didn’t need the bacon but overall amazing.“

“Great food and staff. Always have a wonderful breakfast there. Super fun for my kiddos to watch the planes come in as well.“

“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.“

“My family and I went to Rita's in Rio Grande this past Sunday for Sundae Sunday Night were all Sundae's were half price. Nearly all of the parking lot was full and there were about 7-8 people ahead of us, but we got to the cashier to place our orders in about 10 minutes. The cashier was very friendly while taking our orders and ringing us up. We each had sundaes and as always, the custard was absolutely delicious. All of the toppings were great as well with the exception of the gummy bears which were pretty rock hard. They were almost the consistency of JuJuBees. We will definitely be back for another round of Sundaes on Sunday in the future.“

“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!“

“My new favorite cafe! I’ve had several breakfast and lunch sandwiches, they’re all fantastic! Great coffee drinks with a good specialty menu. Not super sugary and great flavor. Staff is super friendly! The atmosphere is relaxing and the location is super clean. 10/10!!“

“These are the best things ever!! In the summer you can’t get near the place because it’s so busy. The like is worth the wait! They have mail order and we have ordered three times! The more u order the better the price. This last time we ordered 24! The owner of this store is super nice and treats his employees so good! Def MUST HAVE!!“

“Great place for authentic Mexican food.“

“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!“

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

“Yesterday we went to Cape May Winery with a bachelorette party group. We had a great experience from booking, too ordering our wine and enjoying our time in the lower cellar room. Special shout out to the amazing table of guests next to us that included 3 married couples that each had been married for over 25 years. They stopped at our table to give our bride-to-be some amazing wedding and successful marriage advice. It was a really special visit and I am so glad we chose to come here! 💜“

“Excellent wines, opportunity to meet the winemaker, and beautiful setting. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing food. Super friendly staff. And Tommy is awesome. Took time to talk to us and made us feel like part of the family. We will definitely be back!“

“I'm a big fan of boba tea, so I've tried it from several places on the Wildwood boardwalk. In my opinion, theirs has the best taste and is actually served cold unlike a lot of other places on the boards. I asked for a medium and was literally $0.50 short. Most places would have told me not to worry about 50 cents, but it's a business, so I understand.“

“Simply the Best in atmosphere, food and service. We Love it every time“

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

“Thank you for the clams as addaded special!! So nice of you,,,order anytime!! Your great!!!👍🏿“

“it was amazing we went there after eating at a restraint for some dessert we ordered the sundae with Oreos and 2 chocolate ice cream cones it was big for its size and it was amazing and the Staff in the front window was nice I would always go again if your near by try it!!“

“Quincy’s Lobster Roll at Waterside Place: As someone who grew up in the Northeast and knows a thing or two about authentic New England-style lobster salad, I can confidently say that Quincy’s Lobster Roll at Waterside Place is absolutely delicious. The lobster was incredibly fresh, perfectly sweet, and generously portioned. The roll itself was just the right texture—soft and slightly toasted—and let the quality of the lobster shine. This was a true taste of home, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Great people, the store is spotless, the food is very good.“

“our first time, but will NOT be the last! our savory crepes were freshly made, huge, and DELICIOUS!“
