This place is a hidden gem! Awesome casual ambiance, delish and very affordable food with daily specials. The chicken parm was great. The clams were outstanding, and if you're lucky enough to have Carol as your waitress, you're in for an extra treat. You'll feel right at home. read more

Never a bad choice at Owens Pub. On the off season in Wildwood not Much is open for good food, you can always trust Owens will be there for you. We went last light and once again the food was fantastic! Hubby had the French onion soup that was great. I had the crab bisque which was great has a little kick but not enough to make me not enjoy. That hit the spot on such a cold night. Then we had the steak and shrimp scampi and the seafood scampi. Both were absolutely fantastic! I went home in a food coma! Oh and did I mention over all these years Owens Pubs has found a Way to keep great food super affordable which is always a Great help while spending so much money on the boardwalk. FYI -they are cash only it's the only downfall but they have an ATM on site. Go,enjoy, what are you waiting for? read more

Been going here for many years. It is cash only which can be a bummer but overall pluses are weekday happy hour at the bar. Grab a drink while you wait for your table. They have specials each day which are worth getting and often at a discount. Many locals go. Generally decent pub food. read more

Can't say enough things about Owens! The nightly specials are a steal and they always have a good crowd of regulars at the bar. I love Tuesday night eggplant parm nights. This is a solid local spot with well-cooked no frills food. read more

Service was horrible ,on a slow and reiterate SLOW night I came in with my family. My grandson was already seated at a table when I cane in with my second grandson. the lady in the front very rudely said we don't allow strollers, even though the hostess prior had said it was OK for us to sit at a table in the front where there was room for the stroller. Now the new hostess an older white woman seemed very upset that we had walked in l, the expression on her face said it all !!!! take this for what it is, but I feel we were stereotyped by this woman as soon as I walked in with the other 4 people in my party . She made that pretty evident by announcing very loudly and rudely that we don't allow strollers and nothing can be done about that. , even though we had already been OK to bring the stroller in and gave have dinner we granted were very. very disappointed And we immediately left after being treated so harshly by the door, we were embarrassed and left to another place of business not too far from that one and received amazing service , stroller included and welcomed our $250 worth of business, shame on you Owens pub you need to do better!!!!!! read more

Great food awesome bartenders super staff and owners watch Mike he likes drinking my scotch

Owens is our go-to pub in North Wildwood. The food is always good and priced better than anywhere else on the island especially if you get one of the daily specials. Happy hour is also decent but just like everywhere else the prices of drinks have crept up but are still reasonable. In the last 3 years I've seen the draft beer price at happy hour go from $1.50 (crazy cheap) to $4 (still a bargain) and a Vodka martini go from $6-$10. We've been coming here for many years and the food has been consistent. We noticed a change on this visit. The French onion soup was noticeably different and better than ever. The wings were just as good but they were lightly breaded (never were in the past) and had less sauce. The chicken parm was still good but much thicker and less crispy. I'm guessing a new chef. read more

I love this place it is the best I come here with my cousin a lot i like the chicken tenders

Oh my, what has happened? Did the old chefs quit? Are you under new management? What ever it is you need to fix it. It's about the food, sub par. I have frequented your establishment since 2017. And have witnessed a steady decline. This year is the worst. Maybe you need a "Gordon Ramsey intervention". Increased prices, less food, less quality. Same great waitresses, however we don't come to see waitresses. Hope you fix this because for now we will stay away from regular dining here. read more

Had a great time with family here! The service was prompt, restaurant was clean, drinks were full strength and not shorted, the wait staff was on point hurriedly delivering meals to tables and most of all... the food was ample and delicious. We ordered the chicken parm specials last night and were very pleased with the taste and quality of the food. Will definitely be returning during the week. Much thanks to Owen's Pub for caring about their customers with pricing and quality of food and service. ******* read more

We were a group of 6 - we were seated relatively quickly (it was busy) but service was slow and then we felt rushed when it did come. Food arrived before our drinks. The food here is cheap for a reason! It's terrible. Worst cheesesteak of the summer. Under seasoned and soggy roll but dry meat. Wings were ok. Turkey club - Lunchables grade turkey. You get what you pay for at Owen's. Go for drinks only! read more

Food was good. Customer service not so great. Our waitress was nice however the mature woman hosting was a bit rude. We barely finished dinner and she was rushing us out the door. When we arrived rhe restaurant was mostly empty but she made us stand at rhe door and wait for 10 mins till our friends arrived. Sad to say how you treat people makes them think twice about returning. read more

Food as usual was good along with great service, a plus. A big minus is sharing my dinner space with four legged friends, dogs have no place in a restaurant inside or out read more

We got here at 6:45 and we didn't leave till 9:30. If you want to wait a hour to a hour and a half for a table this is the place for you. They have 5 benches out front but most likely you'll be sitting on a curb or standing till your legs give out. Also the music is so loud you won't be able to place a order with out repeating it to your waiter at least one .After waiting close to a hour and a half to get seated it took a extra 15 minute to get a water let alone a drink. We placed a order for the fried pickles and waited for 45 minutes just to get told they forgot to make them. Then was told they only have one waitress lol The food was half decent tho so I will no give it a 1 star but I will never be coming and will not recommend it to anyone. If you like cool tshirts this is your spot. read more

Overall Impression - Very DISAPPOINTING and the place was not crowded at all We arrived (3 of us) and looked at the specials board which listed Maryland Crab Soup (my fav) but the waitress stated they don't have it I requested they ask the kitchen - They had it and I ordered it - The flavor was good but it was devoid of any recognizable crab meat. As an appetizer we ordered loaded fries which was an extremely small order I ordered a Grilled cheese, bacon, tomato and onions. The food runner brought out a sandwich that no where near resembled what I ordered and it was returned and I had to wait for the correct sandwich to come out When it finally arrived the cheese (what little was on the sandwich) was not melted at all. Our friend ordered a Caesar Salad with Chicken that cane out as a scrawny plate of romaine lettuce with chicken (no parm cheese, no croutons and NO dressing) My wife ordered a Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak which actually was correct when delivered. This was our 2nd time at this place while it was our friends first time as she relied on our recommendation Due to this inconsistency we may think of other places to enjoy lunch read more

Been to Owens a few times over the past many years, but this review is for my most recent experience. Went for the Wednesday special ($5) wings. Can't beat the price. Also decided to have a dinner as well. Overall take away is don't expect the best meal, but you can't beat the prices. Wings, good as anyone else's, especially at $5. Dinner, again, Very reasonable price $19 for ny strip and two sides, roll and butter, and salad. The salad was a few leafs of romaine. The dressing had more to it and gave it substance. Otherwise was like air. Roll, serviceable. A little chewy, but hey $19! Steak, small and dry. Asked for medium and was cooked all the way through, so really extra dry now, but hey $19! In summary, can't beat the prices and specials, but don't expect the best and you will be moderately happy if they cook it correctly. read more

Monday $2.95 Cheesesteak Special. Nice clean place with food specials just about everyday. Happy Hour starts at 3. Be there at 3 if you want a seat at the bar. Good little cheesesteak. I loved it at $2.95. It came with chips and pickles. read more

My grandmother had heard from some locals about the promo deals they run so we stopped in to see if the $1.95 Cheesesteak was worth the hype. First off, I know some people have written reviews complaining about not allowing underage (Under 21) people in without a parent; both doors have wording that you must be 21 to enter unless accompanied by parent or guardian. We got there on the earlier side and it was definitely an older crowd, in my opinion. Could have been due to the timing though. Now $1.95 Cheesesteaks do come with some catches; the waitress did tell us that you need to purchase a beverage or the cheesesteak is full price. Second, not all cheesesteaks are included; there was a card on the table detailing which ones were included and ones you could upgrade to for $1. I prefer chicken cheesesteaks which were not, but if you like regular ones, it's a good deal. Cheesesteaks ($1.95 or regular price) were served with a handful of potato chips and 3 large pickle chips. Our waitress was okay. Polite enough and our food came out quick and hot. I liked that the chicken was shredded and not huge cubes like many of the places in south jersey seem to make it. My only complaint is we were never offered drink refills. (I think she did get slammed with tables though and then a group of regulars came in that she was chatting with). I believe there may have been bar specials too since the bar area was full. Every day of the week, I think they run different promotions so if cheesesteaks aren't your thing, they have a wing night, cheeseburger night, and a few others that may tickle your fancy. read more

This place is a epitome of trash Everything that a restaurant can do wrong, this place did. Serviced sucked Extremely rude server Old nasty food that took 1.5 hours to bring out We ended up leaving not eating our food read more

Good service but don't get the nachos! They were an embarrassment for any bar to serve! Burger was good though! Beet was good (haha). read more

The service was atrocious, the waitress never checked on us after the runner brought our food. The place claims to have great cheesesteaks, but they were terrible, fatty meat, and the best part, no cheese on them. Place only takes cash, which is beyond fishy when every other place that is angry about credit card fees simply adds 3% (which is fine and a lot more convenient than carrying $100). Don't just miss this dump, run screaming in the other direction. read more

Great atmosphere, just wished the food matched it, but thats why its a great bargain. Whatever ya do stay away from the appetizer shrimp, its pretty average and probably frozen (its a weird black shell). I seriously thought it was shrimp covered in nacho sauce. The volcano shrimp from Dogtooth blows it away, its not even close, hint. Anyways its ok, it could be great, stay far away from the creole sauce. read more

Waitress rolled her eyes after we asked a question. Nachos were horrible. Bartender was not even friendly. If I could give Zero stars I would read more

Love Owens ! Great neighborhood institution with great food, delicious reasonably priced drinks and super friendly staff. The weeknight specials they offer are amazing and always delicious! We especially love the $4.95 chicken Parmesan and the Wednesday night chicken pot pie! The holiday decor around the cozy fireplace is stunning and so well done - all part of the whole experience!! read more

Went there on Thursday with a group of 5. We had to wait outside an hour in the rain but we had umbrellas & sucked it up and waited because my aunt really wanted to eat there. The older woman who was the hostess was absolutely rude and nasty (to everyone not just our group)...I don't know how she keeps her job unless she is an owner or relative of the owner(s). Our waitress was fantastic and the food was good, so overall it was okay, but we almost left because of that crotchety old hostess. Lots of people waiting outside were complaining about her. read more

My wife and I went to eat at Owens Pub monday evening.We were shocked that the manager spent most of the time engaging customers without wearing a mask.He was very arrogant when we both addressed this with him.We both got the impression that he was feeling it financially based on the few and far between customers that actually showed up. We noticed his staff were pressing customers near us hasseling them if they needed more refills and and both got the impression it was all orchestrated by the management.We found the food semi tolerable but based on not practicing covid regulations and the harrasment of fellow customers suffice it to say we will never visit this pub again.And will pass the word around for our friends and clients to do the same. read more

Place was small but they delivered great service and the food was really good. A must try.

I found a place to get RC COLA last summer bringing back youthful memories. Very famous w locals and now with tourists so it could be quite crowded at times but worth the wait. I go on Mondays for the cheesesteaks for $1.95 special and dollar beers at the bar. This week I had 2 mushroom cheesesteaks on an about 8 inch roll and 2 Yeunglings and the total was under $6. Check out their other daily specials at their website. Really impressive! read more

Summer 2022. If I can give -stars I would. Waited 1.5hrs for the table. Ordered food and then the waitress messed up half of the order. While we were waiting for the right food to come out we were watching her eating her mistake in front of us. Paid cash, since the place is cash only. Went outside and were yelled by our waitress that we haven't tipped her enough, while we left more than 20%. Rude, unprofessional, tasteless. Never again read more

Mmmm good! Started with a bowl of crab bisque that was perfect. Hot, thick a joy to my mouth! Pizza cheesesteak with a killer bun and some gravy fries too. I will return to Owen's Pub. Friendly help too read more

This place is awful. Hostess was extremely rude to my family when we said we have 11 people but a table of 6 and 5 would be fine if that's easier, and she replies with "are u done?" Did not say one other word to my family when she sat us. Waitress was not very nice either, rushed us and was not at our table very often. Main problem was with the hostess. She belongs in a nursing home. Come here if you want a crowded restaurant with an hour wait and rude service with workers who look like they hate their lives. read more

John the bartender at Owen's pub refused to take my wife and I's order. He greeted us and asked what we wanted to drink and we replied that we needed a drink menu to see what was on draft. He replied and asked what we wanted to drink instead of getting us a menu and then walked away when we asked again. We waited another 20 minutes while John walked up next to where we sat and took everyone else's order while purposefully ignoring us. The two people sitting next to us were regulars and said that it was absurd and they didn't know why he was acting like that. This was an unfortunate experience because we've been visiting Owen's multiple times every season but after this experience I don't think we'll be back. read more

Ordered a grilled Reuben. Bread was grilled perfectly . Great meat, sauerkraut, and 1000 island ratio. Always get an extra side of 1000 island incase it is too dry. But this was not dry at all. Highly recommend. Very satisfied. Service was quick staff was friendly. Only complaint they forgot my chips but was still 5 stars we are all human right. read more
