pulled pork sandwich
Abigail C.

I stopped here for drinks but after seeing the menu, I knew I had to come back to try the bbq pulled pork mac & cheese skillet. SO GOOD. We also got the bavarian pretzel & fried pickles. Everything was perfect. My boyfriend got the pulled pork sandwich and says it was a 10/10 & my brother got the cheese steak which he also says is a 10. I stole cajun fries off both of their plates because they were so good. Love all of the margarita options. Blackberry is one of the best! Our service was great both times we went (bar & table) I recommend everything we got.

All four entrees arrived with cold fries and while they did offer to bring us a new side of fries, it took forever to grab our waitress so these fries arrived after we had already finished our meal. Overall very slow service in general. Great music though!

This restaurant on the wildwood boardwalk is a solid 3 stars. My food was good, although the mac and cheese and bacon in the bacon mac and cheese burger could not be tasted. Their home style fries were so good. The service was good. The waiter was nice and the food came out quickly. The atmosphere was also good, there was country music playing. The top deck also had an amazing view.

This new Wildwood boardwalk bar/restaurant has an amazing view of the ocean on both levels that it pains me to me to leave a bad review. Very cool set up but... Waitress was nice but told us the nachos were good today since the chips were not stale. Dumb me ordered and what a disappointment. The cheese was cold like out the fridge which makes me wonder how they put on the liquid cheese. Horrible We never got silverware even though I asked for them. Only half of us got refills even though I asked. We put our order in w the apps and 90 minutes s later (no they were not slammed) we did not have food. We ended up Taking it to go What a waste of $100+ bucks I wonder if there is a manager. No one ever stopped by to see how we were doing. I'll never return.

Lunchin with the crew!

Went here with a group who purchased and drank more than their share and they had a chance to give me thier fully, honest opinions of what they had ordered. Overall, the food and drink was just ok. Nothing special that was significant to come back but it is a nice area by the beach. The drinks were different and were a lil weird tasting but I can see CJs trying to change things up & make things a lil different but they fell a lil short with trying to make exotic flavors (like sweet & spicy). I thought our server came around a decent amount so she was on point, especially since our group kept getting bigger as the time went on. Lots of ample space outdoors on pier. You can see directly on the beach which is nice. Food was a little overpriced according to everyone but I wouldnt expect anything less from a sit down restaurant on the beach. I would caution people looking for a bite to eat to maybe skip the place and only come here if they absolutely need to. Only b/c the general consensus of the crowd was that it was not worth it. I did not eat or drink here myself so I am just going off of everyone else's insights of CJ's.

Kids Mac and cheese
Shelley L.

We arrived around 5 to 5:30pm as a party of eight, half are young children so they had to eat earlier. Don't expect awesome customer service from the hostesses. They chit chat, which I totally get, but when a customer is there, try to be a bit more engaging. We said we wanted to upstairs but we got sent around to the side which is outdoor dining. Went back to front and it's like something clicked and we could go upstairs. Uh...okay. At this point, kids got to eat so we go for it. Upstairs isn't as organized. The waitress walked around in circles trying to figure out a table for eight. I pointed out a table that would fit us and yet..circles we go..and ultimately, where did we sit? The same table I pointed out. Besides all that, our waitress was a doll. Super nice, attentive and such a hard worker. Seemed like she was the only waitress out of a fairly large group at the front area by the stairs. Food came out at a decent time. The winners were the kids mac and cheese and the cobb salad. Blew me away. Didn't expect the mac and cheese to be so good and didn't expect the salad to be so filling and well loaded with all the ingredients. It's pretty kid friendly with the cute water cups so just deal with the interesting seating experience and the food will be okay. Got the cuban sandwich which wasn't bad. Plenty of pork and the fries were good.

Nachos

We ate on the upper outside deck. Just by chance there was an Elks parade going. Very cool atmosphere. Service, nachos and spice marg was delicious.

Dirty Banana
Chloe P.

Stopped by to grab a drink while strolling along the boardwalk. Service was great at the bar. Tried a dirty banana and pina colada. The pina colada came served in pineapple and was tasty! The dirty banana was pretty good as-well. Great way to cool off on a hot day.

Margaritas
Suzanne M.

Beautiful place to sit feel the Ocean air and have a drink. You do have to ask for an extra shot because the drinks are somewhat watered down so get a beer and solve the issue next time will try some of the food, but come for the view and a beer. Very clean family run

Literally the worst possible experience I've had in a restaurant in a long time. I've worked in the…read moreindustry for quite some years and this was absolutely horrible. The service is shit! 1000/10 do not recommend. We had reached out ahead if time to ask if there'd be room for a decent size group on a Tuesday to watch a championship game. They had that on one tv then on the other tvs were highlights and then a regular season baseball game. We got there had, to ask numerous times to put the game on the tv where we were sitting. Then a smaller group who was there for the baseball game ended up asking the bartender to change the game sound to the baseball game. Which we were confused because we were told that we would be good had we asked the bartenders and the MOD was aware. Well that wasn't the case. Now for the food.... Well there's a few different things that were missing or just unacceptable. I had ordered wings which when ordering asked some clarifying question and even asked to sample the sauce to see if I could handle it. I got the sauce. Tried it and it was bearable that I could eat them with ranch/ blue cheese and handle it. Well when the food came out. They didn't even taste the same. They were dry and not very saucy and they tasted like they just had hot sauce on it. I even asked someone who likes hot sauces to taste both the sample of the sauce as well as the wing and he immediately said there was a difference. On top of that, they forgot sauce on one cheesesteak and a side of sauce for someone else's fries that was requested... When the server(bartender) came back after awhile I had said that I couldn't eat the wings as they were too spicy and had requested if I could get the truffle Parmesan INSTEAD. when I went to hand the plate back as I did not want to eat the wings. He had asked me if I wanted a box for them. I said well I can't eat them they're too spicy. And he again said I can get you a box and I said I mean I won't eat them though and again mentioned the box and I said I mean i guess but I can't eat them. I asked for the replacement because I could not eat them. And I was fully prepared to give them back to be replaced. I also stated to get the other wings boxed up. We immediately also asked for checks as we were already not happy with the situation ongoing. When I received my check it showed that I was getting charged for 2 orders of wings and not just one. I did not want two orders of wings. I wanted one order that I would be able to eat because I couldn't eat the initial order that was served to me. When he came back to grab checks I explained that I wanted the other wings to replace the wings I was served which was why I didn't want the box. The man looked at me like I was speaking a different fucking language. Then when I proceeded to ask him to just cancel the 2nd order of wings and fix my check to reflect such, he questioned it like he was stunned that I even bothered asking. And to top it all off, as we were leaving they smirked and laughed like it was funny that we had a bad experience. I have worked all of my life in customer service type positions whether that be serving, bartending or other services and honestly it was actually sad that we come there for the first time and it is fully going to be the last as well. Do better.

They have so many options and delicious combinations on the menu that it was difficult to commit to just one. I settled on the California which was warm lobster with drawn butter topped with wasabi-avocado-cucumber aioli sauce. It was loaded with melt in your mouth fresh giant chunks of lobster meat. It also came with a generous side of delicious tater tots, homemade coleslaw, and street corn which was nice and spicy too. While I was waiting they handed me a complementary homemade lobster bisque also loaded with lobster meat. It was fantastic. I took everything to go and enjoyed it on the beach....perfect. I can't wait to go back again next weekend and try another.

Just because it has a big selection doesn't mean that its the best! I tried this place on our most…read morerecent WW trip. There are 3 places that sever lobster rolls in the vicinity. This is the second best! It is also the second most expensive. It does come with a side of tots, but I can do with out that. Staff is very friendly! As soon as you look their direction and look like you are walking towards them, they greet you. Which is pretty nice! I went with the Connecticut, because I love butter lol! I also added more meat! It was pretty good, no complaints on the size. The lobster was... ok? It was like they cleaned it earlier that morning, stuck the meat in the fridge, tossed it on the grill to warm it up, but the inside was cold and the outside was warm and dry. It could be that I just had a bad experience! My biggest issue is the lobster shells that I had in my lobster... so disappointing! I took pictures, but Yelp keeps removing them... I guess the owner pays them to keep taking down negative pictures? All in all, if you want lobster, go to Quincys 500 feet north of there next to ripleys... It is ok here, just watch out for the shells!
