Ordered burgers nothing special and got a $200 bill. It didn't taste bad, but that's ridiculous

Founders is a unique spot on the boardwalk that has good food and honors Wildwood’s and Morey’s Pier history.

Pricey, but one of the best chicken Caesar wraps I've ever had. Way to skimp on the fries for $18 or whatever highway robbery it was. Wrap was super solid though!

Great spot but, they have the most uncomfortable chairs in the bar area. I get you don’t want people lingering but that’s just ridiculous

We decided to have dinner at Founders after looking for nice dinner on the Boardwalk for the last night of our vacation.
The main dining room as crowded and did not feel like the air condition was on, so we requested outdoor seating which was nice.
Our server was friendly and had a great eye for detail, even reading back our order to make sure everything was correct.
Sadly, when the food arrived it looked like every other burger joint on the boards. We had an order of wings for the table, the buffalo sauce was very thin and the wings had the texture of being microwaved.My son had the crab cake sandwich which came with two pickle chips and a small bag of potato chips, he said was OK. My wife had appetizer chicken fingers and the shrimp and grits, the grits were very good, the chicken fingers were nothing special.My son's girlfriend and myself had Founders burgers. Her's was off the menu, mine was a special order adding bleu cheese and bacon. Mine burger came with bleu cheese salad dressing and the kitchen forgot the bacon. When it was brought out to the table it was definitely microwaved. All this was served in a plastic baskets with a wax paper liner or a paper boats.
Our overall experience was that the food quality did not justify the nearly $200 bill. But our server was fantastic.

Founders was an excellent dinner choice for our first night in Wildwoods!

Our server, Alex, seemed to be new and did his best, which was appreciated. They had a veggie burger on the menu, thank you for this! The seats weren't very comfortable but this isn't a long-term sit down restaurant.

For $46 (not including the tip), we had the brussel sprouts, cheesesteak and veggie burger with fries, and one soft drink. Everything was cooked well and very tasty. The restaurant is right in a very bustling section of the boardwalk so you can grab a bite and jump right back into the excitement.

Burgers just ok with stale rolls. Need picks to keep it from falling apart. Pizza was like flour. No idea what is Boardwalk pizza is all around them. Went inside because it was 100 degrees out. AC and open windows made it feel 98 . Just go to the next place.

Overly priced food that wants to be a dinning experience when its really just like every other place on the boards. They also dont even make a smash burger properly.

This place used to be called Jumbo’s and was very nostalgic for me as a child. My parents used to bring me and my brother to Wildwood for a week every year, and it was always Jumbos Shrimp and Curlys Fries. The rebrand surprised me when I came by myself last year as a grown man, but the delicious food and atmosphere remain the same. The Wildwood boardwalk, and this restaurant will always have a special place in my heart.

Awful place, avoid this restaurant, my family party of 5 was trying to have dinner at this place on Monday, hostess sit us right away and give us the menus, after 15 minutes nobody come to don’t even greet the table, the was maximum 4 tables all together and I count for a least 5 servers. We decide to leave , when ask for manager and explain the situation she said I’m sorry may be nobody see you! If you don’t see a party of 5 people I don understand how you still in business. After the manager response you can understand why 7 or 8 servers are talking to each other and not taking care of the guest.

2nd year coming and will most definitely continue to come back! The food was so delicious and the amount of shrimp you got was awesome! The staff is so wonderful, and kind and sat us so we had an ocean view. Only great things to say, definitely stop here for food! ?

The food was awful, prepared by people that obviously do not care. The teenage counter staff were ok, but there was nothing redeeming about the food. The hamburger was flavorless on a massive stale bun. The checking fingers were frozen, cheap and also flavorless. This makes high school cafeteria food look appetizing.

The place was empty except for 1 other table of 5. It took forever for someone to take our order. The place was freezing! Now to the food. We ordered 2 dishes of the same order. A cheeseburger with piled on onion rings and fries. The waitress asked how to cook the burger. Medium. They came out burnt. The fries were cold. The onion rings had no onions in them! They were hollow batter rings. Disgusting. My daughter ordered crab cakes she said were mostly bread filling. She ordered a frozen pina colada that she said was bad. No taste to it. She said it was all ice. All this for $102. I'm pretty easy to please but this was bad. Never going back
