I recently visited Capt'n Jack's Island Grill on the Wildwood boardwalk, and while the decor and service were nice, the food was disappointing. The burger buns were dry, the burgers lacked flavor, and the fries were bland and a bit cold. For the prices they charge, I was expecting much better quality.

One thing I wish they had warned us about was not eating outside due to the birds. While they didn’t get our food, there were a lot of them around, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it unless they improve the food.

We spent the day on the boardwalk and washed a cocktail. I've always passed Captain Jack's and was curious about them so we went there, also wanting a view of the ocean. We decided to go upstairs to their covered outside deck. We each ordered a cocktail and an order of Captain Jack's Fries. I understand it's a tourist area, but the drinks were tiny for the price ($12-$15 per drink). We ordered a bay breeze, orange crush and espresso martini. The martini was the only drink that was appropriately sized, while the other two drinks were 6oz or less. Any other place we visited whole on vacation offered a regular sized glass for mixed drinks for the same price. The fries were standard. The deck was completely covered in seagull poop, which I found a little off putting, including some of the chairs. At least clean off the chairs! Their menu is small and overpriced with nothing extravagant offered. I spent my money on a slice of pizza and was much more satisfied with my money going there.

A favorite place to stop for a bite to eat and drinks with ocean views from the top deck.

Who Is Authentik

Took an uber to get to the restaurant to have dinner with my family at 545pm in September on a Wednesday. The website says that the restaurant closes at 11pm. However, when we arrived the host say they had already stopped serving food and that the bar was about to close in 5 minutes. It was extremely disappointing to see being that we wasted our time to get there to find out they were closing already. Please update your website to reflect the changes in your operation during September. It is misleading. Now we have to find somewhere else to eat. Very disappointing!!

Went for the wings. They only had the boneless ones. Not so good. We've come here for years, last few years kinda disappointing.

Billy Joel was right when he said “Captain Jack will get you by tonight!” This place is amazing!!! Between the staff, food, and view, can’t beat it. I come here at least 3 times a summer when I vacation in Wildwood and every experience has been top notch. You want the island experience without having to take a flight and go through TSA? Stop by Captain Jacks and take a load off??

I don’t really leave reviews, but I really don’t recommend coming here if you’re hungry. The food was practically inedible despite the wonderful and quick service. Mac n cheese was slush and the Cubano’s quality was extremely disappointing. Fishbowl was mostly soda. Massive tourist trap that we fell for. Dine at your own risk.

Food worth every penny. We did not have drinks but bar was stocked. Wait staff went above and beyond. I became sick from the heat and they immediately brought me cloths with ice water. Our new go to in WW. There is one on each pier.
