If you love the 1950s era and the music (and decent diner food), this IS ABSOLUTELY your spot. Doo Wop Diner brings diners back to the days of the Doo Wop Era not only with its interior design, but also the music blaring from its sound systems. You'll feel like you've transported back to the future like Marty McFly, except you won't need a DeLorean for this. This diner is nooooo gimmick as the food is surprisingly pretty good here. Like any diner, they've got a variety of different selections that'll make your head spin and make you wish you can order everything. They've got your breakfast items - omelettes, sandwiches, pancakes and French toasts. They've got your lunch/dinner faves like 1/4 lb foot long hot dogs, half lb burgers, sandwiches, wrapes and, of course, milkshakes and malts. On our visit here, my wife ordered the Doo Wop Burger and I went with the Road Runner Dog. For the kids, we ordered the Baby Bopper Dog and Fish and Chips. Like I said, all of the food was surprisingly pretty good. We've had bad experiences with beach boardwalk food in the past, but Doo Wop Diner really exceeded our expectations as we knew we were taking a chance when we walked in. The highlight for me though was actually the addictive crinkle cut fries that was served with all of our meals. They were probably frozen, but I absolutely couldn't stop eating them because they were just so perfectly crispy and crunchy - dare I say even better than Shake Shack's fries????? To wash down our meals, I also ordered the Strawberry Banana Shake, which was a real deal ice cream shake and quite refreshing - just ask my kids. If you're walking north on the boardwalk from the Convention Center, chances are you'll easily run into the Doo Wop Diner. At first, you'll think it was just another gimmicky restaurant on the boardwalk, but you'll quickly find out that they probably serve some of the better food on the Wildwood Boardwalk, so fill up here. read more

The atmosphere of this establishment will bring you back to the time of juke boxes and roller skates. The food is exquisite and the service is impeccable. Would highly recommend to fellow boardwalkers! read more

We stopped here for lunch on our first day visiting. The place itself is cool and definitely gives you that old diner feel. The staff was nice, but I feel like the server could have done a little better. We felt as though it was very transactional. The portions were okay for the prices. The food was just average. My husband did enjoy his milkshake. It's a good spot for families especially with little kids. read more

Fast, attentive service. Delicious, fresh, tasty food. Basics were on point. Big half pound tasty burger, crispy crinkle fries, ice cold Coke - spot on! read more

Great service, great burgers and shakes. Eating on the boardwalk can be sketchy, but this place was great.

Great location right on the boardwalk with all the vibes you're coming for. Service was friendly and fast. The portions are very large so come hungry or be prepared to share! read more

Tried this place when we visited Cape May in July- the restaurant is small but they are able to fit a lot of people in there and it wasn't crammed. The service was amazing and the waitstaff very attentive. The food wasn't the best- no flavor in the burgers, but came with tons of fries. Only a 3 due to the mediocre food, would have been much higher if the food matched the service! read more

The Doo Wop diner is a fun, funky little diner right on the boardwalk. We arrived around 5 on a Wednesday night and although it was busy, service and food delivery was fast. I ordered the roadrunner hot dog and it was tasty! Their fries were plentiful and could easily be shared! We were a party of 4 and had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Two of us got hot dogs, one a hot chicken sandwich, and one a patty melt! read more

Another delicious lunch. Fish tacos were great, salad was very fresh and delicious, hotdog was amazing! read more

Burgers and 50's fan fair is what you will find here along with lots of other goodies as there's something for everyone even those who want an eating challenge! Coming here was kinda like heyyy there's a place we can get out of the boardwalk sun and away from the tram car for a minute let's go sit and get some food and that's exactly what we did! They have your standard you'd find at a place like this burgers malts fries fried goodies and all that in between so it's just pick your poison at that point! For me it was all about the burger that had the fried pickles on it as that's like one of my favorite things along with it came the fries which were good too and let me say it was definitely yummy and totally just hit the spot for this given day of adventure. My friend Eric from Pride Coaster Club got the burger challenge and wow this thing was a tower of burger goodness along with those fries makes for like 5 meals for me lol! He seemed to enjoy it for the most part. Our service was awesome and everyone was very friendly and this was an awesome little spot to get some classic boardwalk food. Overall who knows when or if I'll ever get back here again but it definitely was what's good for this given day of boardwalk adventure! read more

Doors were wide open but still felt nice and cool. It is a very large menu with plenty of food choices for everyone. We were seated right away, and service was quick. They weren't really busy, and the food came out within 15 minutes. It is decorated like a old soda shop with plenty of nostalgia on the walls. The food wasn't bad actually the burgers were really good and juicy.cooked perfectly. I'd eat there again. Average sandwiches are around $14. read more

Prices are good especially for the boardwalk. Food is average diner food. Servers were friendly. We go back every year.

My husband did the "Chubby Challenge" and finished it in 22 minutes to get his free t-shirt. He said the burger was really good and worth it. I had the impossible burger with fries and mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. It was all so good and we will definitely stop by again on our next trip to Wildwood. Loved the 50s atmosphere and our server was very attentive and did a great job. read more

I decided to go with the chili cheese dog with the friend onions and a couple different things. The bread is delicious and the hot is all beef. However I'm not a fan of the chili and that's for personal choice. I don't do beans. I prefer a hot dog chili not the chili you eat out of a bowl. My waitress never did refills and it was a okay experience. The pickles are yummy! My daughter loved the burger but didn't like her chocolate pb shake cause it was not very flavored. So the food was good and if I go back I'll try the burger next time. read more

food was sub par and they can't be bothered to give enough salad dressing. for 17 bucks there should be more then just one tender sliced up. The burgers look decent but those who want a healthier option find another place to eat read more

Great environment. Great food. Great Service. All around 10/10. Love this place, would recommend it to anyone.

The food was great we go there every time we visit! The service is by far the best I've seen in a long time long while!

I ended my trip having breakfast at this classic restaurant. I was shocked I sat within 5 minutes. This place is busy. My meal was the kitchen sink and the wife had cinnamon pancakes with banana and pecans. Both meals were great and large. Great portions and fair pricing. I thought the pancakes were so good and large. Jealous I didn't have this meal but I enjoys the hash browns, the shredded kind. Although my coffee did taste kind of burnt it didn't take away from the experience. The atmosphere does feel very old-school and there's so much more to have there. I will definitely return and hope to enjoy more meals. read more

I came here with a large group of friends for Sunday brunch . The vibes are clearly nifty 50s with all the chrome and 50s decor . It's an open style restaurant with great boardwalk views . My friends and I ordered a variety of things : iced coffee , omelets , French toast and pancakes ! The food was delicious, but the service was lackluster . The server forgot about my friends iced coffee twice. When she finally gave it to him there were a lot of grinds at the bottom . ( gross ) In addition , our group wasn't served at the same Time which should be standard at most places . So when my food was served I was mostly done when my friends got their omelets . The restaurant was busy but these are basic mistakes that can turn off a lot of people . I would come back to try more food though. read more

My family and I went here for breakfast this week on Monday morning. When we ordered, we were told they were out of hot tea. My sister and her husband both ordered cold brew lattes from their drink menu and were both told that's not something they offer. For food, everyone's food was made as ordered except mine and my father's. I ordered a wrap that came with scrambled eggs, guacamole, and Monterey Jack cheese. When my food was served, I noticed there was no cheese on it so I asked about it. The server told me that they were out of Monterey Jack. She did offer me a different type of cheese and had my wrap remade, but it would've been nice to do that before the food came out and I had to mention it. read more

Amazing views. The waiters were ever attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. The wait was not very long. The pictures of Elvis were amazing. The music was my favorite. read more

Doo Wop Diner - Snake bar - Diners Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

We were looking for a place to grab dinner while hanging out at the boardwalk and figured you can't go wrong with a diner! We were seated pretty quickly and given our menus. Our server was quick. We ordered chicken tenders/fries and tuna sandwich/fries. Our food came out quickly and in generous portions; I was actually surprised since almost every page of the menu mentions that "they are not a fast food place and everything is made to order so be prepared to wait". We were in and out in about 30 minutes which was pretty quick to me, especially since we were there mid week around July 4th week. Prices were also average for the type of food we had. Cash only though, so make sure you have cash to pay your bill! (I only mention it since so many people don't seem to carry any nowadays) read more

Great food and service! Our favorite boardwalk meal. Burgers were excellent. Great options for our gluten free family member. Can't wait to go back! read more

The brisket grilled cheese was delicious. The service was on point with it being early lunch.

Great burger/sandwiches and a great atmosphere! My boys had burgers and I had the Miss Piggy (pork roll/egg/cheese). We had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. A fun evening out on the boardwalk! read more

My family and I visit the Jersey Shore for a week every summer. We decided to take a trip to Wildwood Boardwalk. We grabbed a bite to eat at the Doo Wop Diner. 4 different Shakes and 4 different burgers. Shakes were solid. Served in metal Shake tumblers. I got Chocolate/Coffee. My wife and kids got Snickers, Banana , and Coffee respectively. Burgers arrived right after the shakes. Great timing !! I got the Cuban Burger. My daughter got the Rt. 66 with mushrooms onions and Swiss. My son got Billy the Kid with BBQ Sauce and Fried Onion Rings. My wife got the Doo Wop burger with mushrooms onions Swiss and bacon. They were all served hot and cooked correctly. Fries were fresh and I upgraded to Chili cheese fries and I'm glad I did. Will I dream about this place ? No. But when you're taking your family of 4 out , you take a chance on a restaurant and the decision you make is whether you'd return or not. And we will definitely return to Doo Wop Diner. I wonder how good their breakfast menu items are . read more

Seemed clean, and very busy at this diner on a holiday weekend so I found the service slow, we were so thirsty and had to wait for a drink. Okay, you are busy understood. I asked for my sandwich with no cheese, and waiter repeated it ok no cheese but guess what, yep there was cheese on my sandwich.. Two strikes for slow service & wrong order...the fries were good if that matters to you. The food could've been better but as boardwalk food goes, better options here than just pizza. read more

Went to Doo Wop Diner for the first time with a group of 5. Seated fairly quickly, maybe a 10 minute wait. Everyone from the hostess to the bus boys were so polite and efficient. There is a huge menu, I should have looked before I went to get an idea of what to get! Food came out quickly. We got: chocolate chip pancakes, maple butter waffle, kids eggs, French toast, oatmeal, and a few sides. Everything was really good, except the waffle and oatmeal were just okay. I wouldn't get either one again. read more

This is a good, relatively quick sit-down restaurant on the Wildwood boardwalk. I think the food here is pretty average, and they lack healthy side options, which would have been appreciated. If you aren't looking for healthy food, then it is a pretty good diner. But they do have salads as well (all romaine lettuce based). I got a wrap with chicken, but the chicken was pretty dry and lacked some flavor. Fortunately, they have sauce available. read more

Doo Wop Diner - Diners Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Visit Date: September 1, 2013 Love this gem of a diner on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ. This is one of the unique attractions on the boardwalk, among stands hawking many appetizing fatty snacks, boardwalk merch, rides and games. When you step into the Doo Wop you literally step back into the 1950s. I've been here three times during two trips to WildWood. Once I had a shake or a soda at the counter (I can't remember), the first time I shared a shake with hubby (he was my fiancee) at the time, and recently we went there for breakfast during our first wedding anniversary trip to WildWood. I ordered the Anna's special pancakes. They were a delight I couldn't finish but they were delicious! The pancakes come with bananas, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. My favorite combo is peanut butter and chocolate, sometimes when I make a smoothie I do throw a banana into that mix so I needed to try these pancakes and I did not regret my breakfast choice. The coffee is your standard diner coffee which is fine by me. I'm a weird coffee snob. I will drink standard diner coffee with no problem, but give me a weak, bitter or incredibly strong but ill tasting cup of coffee anywhere else and I might not be a fan of your establishment. If you come to Wildwood, NJ doowop is a must at least once! read more

Hungry and wanting to get out of the heat of an unseasonably hot day on the boardwalk we wandered it. Place was busy but we didn't have to wait. Waiter took our drink order within minutes. When he brought back our beverages he took our food order. One Marvelous Melt, one 57 Chevy and one kids Baby Bopper Dog. Food arrived quickly and hot. My Marvelous melt (think Patty Melt) was really good. Lots of grilled onions and the bread grilled toasty. Husbands 57 Chevy looked good, he said it was ok, but he is also a burger snob and a picky eater. Childs hot dog was just an average run of the mill hot dog. Fries on all even though clearly the bagged, frozen variety were crispy, salty and hot. Perfect. This was a really good boardwalk meal at a fair price. Service quick and friendly. Restrooms weren't the cleanest though. Definitely would return. Maybe for breakfast next time. read more
