50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Wildwood Crest

“Absolutely recommend. I called Tuesday after labor day, not realizing they we semi closed. (they stay open for locals and workers in Wildwood) Didn't matter my man took my order and was the nicest guy/family in the world. Lots of restaurants and business' need to take notes and how to treat customers. I will go back to this place everyear. this little act goes along way. By the way food was a 15 out of 10. Authentic Mexican food.“

“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.“

“It's great for breakfast!“

“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)“

“Good food and good service and amazing staff“

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!“

“We dined on Friday, 10.31.25 supporting the Cape May Restaurant Weekend. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Red Snapper Alla Plancha that was impeccably simmered in a tomato-saffron cream sauce along with the delectable additions of mussels, rock shrimp, creamer potatoes and confit fennel. I had the wonderful opportunity to sample the Grilled Duroc Pork Chop with aged gouda potato purée, ginger glazed vegetables, sherry wine cream sauce and seasonal mostarda that was done to absolute perfection. I haven't cleaned my plate like that for years! My wife echoed that it was one of the top three dinners that we have ever had as a couple....Our service was second to none from the expediters, bussers and our very warm and personable server, Anna, who just added to the overall dining experience. A five star event for sure!“

“We love James at the front of the house and the super talented chefs - such a unique and fun experience. Three of us had the vegetarian tasting menu and it was amazing! I wish there were more restaurants like this! 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.“

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

“Always go when in Cape May…fabulous food“

“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.“

“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!“

“Updated 4 Years Later:
Wow. The selection is so diverse and every offering is unique. What a maturing and refining of flavors. Route 9 has had such an increase in locations, but Gusto is well worth extending the pub crawl further south. Skip Cape May Brewing Company and head here. Schwarzbier and I Think I'm a Clone Now Sour were standouts.

Original Review:
We had a great time sampling each of the offerings in small pours. While half of the offerings are IPA-ish, each one is unique enough not to get bored. Aside from those are a great sour, a not-heavy-on-the-stomach oatmeal stout, and a unique pilsner that ends with a hoppy touch. Personally, the flavor was a bit light but that does not take away from good flavors all-around.
Their patio seating is completely out of the sun and we had a great breeze on a fairly hot day.
Defintely stop by here and not just CMBC. There is enough good beer to go around. I look forward to seeing them develop!
Thank you for a great selection!“

“If I could, I would give Hawk Haven and Vinny 100 stars! What a fun experience for anyone looking to relax and have a great wine tasting experience. I went with a group of ladies for a bachelorette weekend. Vinny did our wine tasting and was nothing short of the man of the hour! He not only brought the wine, but the energy and personality as well. We cannot speak highly enough about our time with Hawk Haven. Can't wait to visit again!“

“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 !“

“This is our favorite place for breakfast!“

“Popped in yesterday because I needed a quick bite while waiting for my daughter to finish up practice for the cheer convention. Ordered 2 cheese and 1 pepperoni. Pizza was made fresh and tasted delicious. Not to mention they were big slices. Thoroughly enjoyed it in the car!“

“The food was very delicious and fresh. The table side Cacio e Pepe was delicious, first time having it. Loved the history of the dish. Also Caprese salad very good. Then the Bronzino with polenta and spinach. Brought half of that home. Definitely will be going back. Service was excellent.“

“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! 💜“

“Great find on 97th Street in Stone Harbor, NJ“

“This was a find for us. We went for breakfast. Clean corner Cafe with excellent service. Our server was cheerful and answered my question about having gluten free pancakes. They made them! I ordered the GF blueberry pancakes. They were large and fluffy with fresh warm blueberries inside and so tasty! My husband had three egg pepperoni and mozzarella omelet,grits and rye bread. This was a special for $11.99. Everything was delicious. We will be back.“

“Been Going for more than 25 years“

“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“

“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“

“Uncle Bill’s Restaurant NCM gives you everything a GREAT CM restaurant gives you EXCEPT the CM crowds and prices. This COZY restaurant with EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE is JOY TO GO TO at least once a week with friends and family. The owner and son really enjoy, appreciate, & are thankful for their customers and have gotten to know their clientele personally. It’s like eating with family. In fact it is our favorite restaurant in CM County. An off the beaten track Gem! MANY THANKS FOR GREAT FOOD IN A FAMILY FRIENDLY RESTAURANT. We love you!

“The best cheesesteaks!!!!!“

“Five star food and five star service, very cozy and offer outside seating. One of Cape May's premier restaurant.“

“5 stars!! Amazing hoagies and salads. Fast friendly service. Highly recommended!!“

“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!“

“EXCELLENT FROM SOUP TO NUTS !!!!“

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

“One of the best spots in Wildwood! The cheesesteaks are incredible — fresh meat, perfect bread, and VERY generous portions. Friendly staff, quick service even when it’s busy, and a great atmosphere. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to every summer. Highly recommend!”“

“Great place to get breakfast“

“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.“

“Great! I went on my own & absolutely loved it!“
