Definitely a locals place. Seemed like a good menu; but, couldn't get past the hostile attitude and horrible service of the bartender. Every question seemed to be a personal affront to him and a waste of his time. Clearly different level of service for regulars. Took the hint...non-residents not welcome here. read more

Visited with 2 folks...great atmosphere...seated promptly..waitress was great..food was good and prices were fair. Will get back there for sure! read more

Great food and service. Outside and inside bars are great for different atmospheres. Just sit down and strike up a chat with friendly people, who probably grew up right near you. read more

Most likely won't return to this place. They have amazing prices for happy hour like $2 cheesesteaks, $1 beers, and $5 chicken parm but it's really not worth the hassle. GET THERE EARLY! We were lucky to get seats at the bar, cause people stay for hours and there's an obnoxious amount of people standing around you waiting for you to get up. Bartenders were rude. Younger guy didn't say a word and was super inattentive. We wanted to order food/drinks and this schmuck took 10 mins to finally tell us the process of ordering food and to pour 3 beers. The other bartender was constantly correcting him in a rude tone cause he did nothing. Food wasn't worth the cheap price. Waitress was the sweetest woman you'll ever meet. The second we stood up to leave people were rushing our seats claiming them, basically forcing us out. read more

Absolutely the rudest bar tender we ever had!! We will never ever come back here again. Came here for the Eagles game. My friend tried numerous times to order food were as she had to finally said I need to order food.. Which she was completely told I don't answer to that. Although getting your attention was difficult to have to beg behind the keg station seemed to be a problem. And as for the other one how do you order a $4 mix and $2 draft take a $10 and give $1.50 change!! As good as people say it is.. Guess what terrible treatment, By your bartender that thinks he is too good to take your order. Well we are not kissing no one's butt too get a drink. We were very polite and not intoxicated. We wanted to have a great experience at your bar and these two ruined it !! Zero in on my money ask me why a$10 was taken at the beginning of his shift for two drinks not adding up. I guess this bar tender behavior is acceptable here. I will never recommend this place to anyone!! You have a bad day leave it. By the way.. We were all in customer service but never treated customers with the rude behavior we received. And check that camera at the shift break we were right in front zero in on my money. read more

Skip it. While a member of my family absolutely loves this place (for the wing prices), the rest of the experience is not worth the trip. We go almost every year when in town for that reason, but my last experience was the final straw. The food deals are seriously the absolute cheapest you'll find in the area, but the food isn't very tasty or fresh. We ordered shrimp two different ways (popcorn and fried) and just looking at it, I could tell they had both just come out of a freezer -- they were still white and bluish under the popcorn breading. The bartender was miserable. I was the youngest in the group (26) and his first approach to me was very harshly asking for my ID like I must be underage and what a headache that would be for him. When I asked him about an item on the menu, he snapped "I'M NOT YOUR WAITRESS." In years past I've sat at a table and hadn't remembered ordering both a drink and food (they have to be done separately). The waitress was actually very sweet, which is why I'm giving this two stars. But I do feel like people from the town don't love the tourist season and this is definitely a local spot. Our family has been coming to Wildwood for 55 years and I've been fortunate to find much better places to eat down here in my lifetime! read more

3 stars because they disappointed me today. Stick to their specials, $3 cheesesteaks and drinks are cheap! Crab bisque is good but less crab, but the bigger disappoint was bacon wrapped scallops, wait 86 that, it was chopped scallops... What tha?! Then I got steamers... I mean they were ok if you like steaming clams w/o any flavoring or good juice to dip in, oh now that I mention it, the roll was stale! read more

We love going to Owen's great food for the price and the best bartenders ever.....Johnny Bo and Sean are the best!!! We always have the best time when they are behind the bar! The atmosphere is great too, no wonder it's always packed in there:) read more

Class...how NOT to cook an Owens Burger 101. Deliver cold fries and a cool/luke warm burger to the table...when the customer smiles and apologizes while explaining the issue, tell the guest. "well i didnt cook it, but I'll take care of it"...bring new platter to the guest even though the cheese and toppings are melted to complete nothingness...revisit the table in 5 minutes only to see the meal has still been untouched due to an obvious microwaved hamburger that is now hard as a brick, dry as the Sahara, and well well well done...last step...after hearing the guest call the cook an idiot, (may not have been the smartest thing to say, but the rest of the table was 2/3 of the way thru their dinners by now), give the entire table attitude, then come back and just toss the check on the table before forcing out the words, "have a nice evening" as you walk away. Nothing in this review...NOTHING...has been exaggerated or twisted. I go to Owens 1 or 2 times s month in the Summer...shame. read more

Owen's Pub always has great food, drink specials, and service! Everyone is so nice and friendly!

Ok food at reasonable specials, but nothing special. The locals rave about this place, especially the cheesesteaks, but I'm not sure why. The old lady at the seating hostess station is one of the most miserable and rude persons I've ever encountered - you would think she must scare some customers away, but the place is always packed. Anyway, they need to force that old crank into retirement. read more

Owen's has the best French onion soup! I always order it well done. Owens has really great food for a bar + the low prices. It's one of my favorite places on the island. read more

Just average. Their fries are flavorless and soggy. Their crab cakes are crispy but too much salt compared to the flavorless fries. We went in a big group and were seated on 2 different tables, the waitress messed up the order and got confused among 2 tables. This place does not accept credit cards Aka cash only. They also scan your ID if you want to order drinks. The water in their bathroom sink is so hot! I know a couple customers have complained about this but their temperature is not adjustable. read more

We had such a fun Saturday night at this Irish pub. Bring your cash as they don't take credit cards. So many TV's for everyone to watch their favorite sport. The bar is pretty big and plenty of seats to go around. Drinks are reasonable and the bar tenders were great. Wonderful service. They do serve food but but my advice and suggestion is don't get fancy stick to simple sandwiches or fried snacks. There is a separate dining room from the bar area. Very mixed groups that seem to mesh together to have a blast. Lots of dancing but no dance floor needed. Made lots of friends and grouped together with people to play name that tune. $100 prize to the high scorer and no cheating b/c they are watching. Our team missed it by 4 points but the owner bought the bar a round. What a great night and Ill tell you lots of cabs were called. Can't wait to return again. read more

Owen's Pub is one of the most popular North Wildwood spots- so much so that I reserve my Owen's trips for the off season. The best part about Owen's- and what draws the biggest crowds- are the week night specials. During specials, wait times can be 45 minutes to an hour. Here are some of the details, and I know I'm leaving some stuff out: - Monday: Cheese Steak, $1.95 -Tuesday: Chicken/Eggplant Parm, $2.99 -Wednesday: Wing night -Thursday: Cheese Burgers, $2.50 -Sunday: Steak & Shrimp, $9.99 Their regular menu is pretty good too, my personal favorite is the Chicken Cheese Steak which comes with chips and a pickle. The rest of the menu has your typical bar fare at reasonable prices. The onion rings are great, but you can do without the fries. Most recently they got rid of one of my favorite menu items- the fried Mac & Cheese- I hope this is just temporary (fingers crossed). Warning- they do not use coke or pepsi products, instead they have RC cola. I always stick to water or lemonade here. There is a bar and a sit down section, no out door dining options. The Pub is covered with TVs playing various sports and news shows. Parking is limited, so if you're within walking distance, walk. read more

The foods alright for the wonderful price. But the attitude of their service isn't cute. They seem like they have a stick up their... all the time. They need to learn a little about RESPECT or get a job that doesn't involve hospitality because instead of leaving this restaurant with a smile I feel really disgusted at their poor service. Level up. read more

Wow worst service ever. Waited 20 minutes for a gift card while phone did not stop ringing at hostess station. It's like this every time I come in and there was no one in the dining area. Also, it's 2022, what kind of full service sit-down restaurant with a full bar doesn't accept credit cards?? Pay your taxes. read more

Owens pub is one of the best bars in wildwood. The place is dirt cheap with plenty of daily specials. The food is very good.

We went to the bar Friday night. The female bartender was rude and argumentative to all of the customers. She was insisting people wear a mask while seated at the bar. When we asked for another round, she gave us the finger. She should be fired. This had nothing to do with Covid. She shouldn't be in the service industry. read more

Owens has great food specials everyday and the bar specials are the cheapest you will find on the island. This year they opened an outside bar and a tent with outdoor seating which was a great addition. The staff is always friendly and the bar tenders are the best! If it's not trivia night or name that tune there is always fun music. If you are a sports fan there are TVs everywhere including at the outside bar! read more

Can't beat $1.95 cheesesteak Mondays The extended happy hour with half price apps The excellent staff The consistency of their food Still an all time fav of ours Keep up the good work Owens read more

Went to Owens Pub for take out tonight. Burgers and fries. Everything was delicious. They have this take out deal all figured out! What great service. I called and placed my order. We pulled up out front and were immediately greeted by a waitress who took my name and returned promptly with our order. And I give them major kudos for their take out packaging!!! Totally environmentally friendly! Great job Owens!!! read more

Ordered take today Aug 18, wings were over cooked and not very good, cooks need to do a better job

This is my second visit to Owens, and it was as good as the first. On my first I had burger ( forgot the variety) and it was very good. I ate at the bar, had a terrific beer, and enjoyed the vibe. I knew I would come back. This time sat at one of the tables. The wait staff was very welcoming. I ordered a Greek Salad with blackened chicken. When it was on the table, I was thinking, how am I going to eat all this ? But I did! Highly recommend what appears to be a local treasure. I'd go out of my way to come back here. The food is fresh. They also have specials. Example: wings @$2.99 ! Please note: This is a cash only place. read more

Owens is known for cheap dinner specials and their bar. The bar is nice, well stocked, knowledgeable and friendly bar tenders. There are a ton of televisions for the size of the place, so you'll never miss any of the action when games are being played! Their restaurant section is also nice, not separated by anything other than a half wall/glass, so you will hear anything on the televisions and the bar. Still would take my kids there, it's not a rowdy scene at all. It's always been clean and organized when I have been in there. Food is okay. Nothing exciting, but the specials are cheap (Ex: $1.95 cheesesteaks on Monday) as long as you purchased a beverage. I personally did not like the pasta special (chicken Parmesan over spaghetti), I found their sauce to be very watery and the noodles over cooked. Wings are not very big or meaty, and if you get them "plain/dry" they are VERY tough. Get them with sauce. Appetizers are good, especially the taco filled deep fried app. read more

I really love this place. Partially because I live one block from it but I have yet to be disappointed. They have amazing specials throughout the week and their happy hour is the best on the island in my opinion. Like most places down in WW, they don't take cards so have cash or be ready to tap the ATM. I have yet to be here during busy season but can see that this place will get packed. As for the food, we all loved it. I've read other reviews about their burgers and cheesesteaks being dry but this was the case for neither. Again, it may be because I have been their during off season and they were less busy but I had no complaints. My father ordered the Owens Burger and enjoyed the size and taste of the patty. I have to say, he complains about almost everything everywhere we go and he actually liked it. My mother and I both had the Mexican Chicken Cheesesteak which was a chicken cheesesteak with cheese, salsa, lettuce, and sour cream. It was absolutely awesome. I don't know if I will venture from this next again. The bar and even dining area has a million tvs. It is impossible to miss a baseball game while here. You will be able to see it where ever you look. Also, every time I have been there, it has been so immaculate clean that you could eat off the floor if you want. Being down the shore and at a popular pub makes you really appreciate that. The prices are unbeatable whether you're there for a special or not. I was very happy. read more

I'm very disappointed how my 19 year old children were treated at Owens. They were denied entry because they were not accompanied by an adult over 21.. i've never heard of such a thing. There were even friends of mine who vouched for them, that wasn't good enough. Not sure what there motive was but it just sucks. Nice job Owens hope your children get booted out of a restaurant for being good kids. read more

Best food in Wildwood, NJ. Unbelievable prices. Monday $1.99 Philly Cheesesteaks. Special starts at 11:30am and runs all day. Philly are really good. This quality at this price why go to Pats, Genos, or Tony Luke's. Tuesday special is chicken parm with spaghetti at $2.99, Wednesday is wings $2.99 and Thursday is cheeseburger $2.99. All specials are great. I like the philly and the cheeseburger. The kids like the chicken parm and wings. Place is exceptionally clean and kid friendly. Televisions are positioned everywhere so no seat is bad to view the game. Where else can you be on the shore and get such value. read more

Owen's Pub - Number 1 spot to eat in Wildwood, New Jersey - Pubs Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

My boyfriend and I went there on Tuesday while visiting Wildwood. We decided to venture off the boardwalk for a change and stumbled upon this place. We enjoyed yummy wings for only .39 and chicken parm with spaghetti for only $4.95 and $1 domestic pints from 12-8p! Need I say more?? I would've given a higher score but I didn't like the fact that we had to pay for the food separately from the drinks causing us to pay more in tip and they only accepted cash....and the martini glasses were super small, causing you to have to buy 2 to feel like you had one so I didn't save the money I had thought I would with the crazy cheap beer and food. But there was a cool and friendly vibe. We played Name that Tune so it was entertaining (though the DJ needs to add some more tunes outside of his apparent era of the 70's lol). read more

Food wasn't great at our last visit. Our server was friendly and attentive. The hostess is so rude and unfriendly every single time. That's truly my reason for the 3 stars as we've been coming here for years. She truly shouldn't be working with the public with her unwelcoming attitude. I can't imagine that's good for business. I think we will start going elsewhere. read more

Skip it. Hostess was rude and had attitude, cash only and slow bartender service. Only gave one star to post this review.

Love this place but not the older small petite women bartending outside. She's pleasant but quotes one price for shots then raises it by 2 more dollars per shot. We were a group of 6. She then becomes persistent that's the price when I told her she said six. I don't like being lied to. Makes me wonder if she pockets any money for herself. read more

I haven't been to Wildwood in years, but we stopped here on Friday night of Easter weekend. We were seated right away, and service was fast. The appetizers we got were what you would expect from a pub--mozzarella sticks and nachos. I was impressed with the chicken sandwich that I ordered, although I now forget which kind it was. We stayed after eating to have some drinks at the bar, and the staff was attentive and approachable. Food and drinks were also fairly priced. read more

My wife and I love Owen's. The staff treat you like family - maybe even better than family. It is a fun place to watch a sporting event or just get a reasonably priced meal and adult beverage. They have plenty of food/drink specials and families are always welcome. I particularly enjoy the turkey dinner special - just like Thanksgiving on a plate and very inexpensive. read more

A friend who is a local told us to try Owens pub for the good food and great specials they have which they do 2.95 cheesesteak special on Mondays. But I must say everyone was seemingly a bit rude and not overly nice especially the bartender outside an older woman with glasses and the outside waitress with dark hair!.. it seemed as we were bothering them by asking to order food or wanting another drink...after the experience there we won't be returning to Owens !.. if you are in north wildwood do yourself a favor and avoid Owens pub!!! read more

I would give this place 5 stars except for the fact that bartenders won't give up the WiFi. They say they don't know it, and that's fine and dandy but everyone needs a connection. There is barely a signal in this area. So if needed the WiFi shoud be assessable. read more

Poor Owen's. Talk about resting on your Laurels & your Hardys too. I was here opening day and a thousand times since. Used to live down the street so, I would be here year 'round. Try to stop by every time I'm back on the island, although I think I may have to find a new place. Disinterested bartenders, unless you're a regular. Which is a whole thing itself since these regulars are the same guys that have been sitting on the same stools for the last 13 years. Kind of a shame to know the before and after affects on these folks. Get there before 4:00 if you want any hope of getting a seat. And don't even think about sitting for name-that-tune or quizzo, unless you're willing to get there two hours early and maybe catch someone heading out. Cash only at the bar so, there's that too. Food was never great, but it was always good for the price and you never left hungry. Always had the best happy hour food deals, Mini cheese steaks, $2.50 burgers with whatever you want on 'em. Now it's just bad food. Worst nachos ever, I mean, how do you screw up nachos. I guess if you just dump a bunch of canned goods on top of cold nachos, that'll do it. Shrimp was terrible, chicken Caesar was terrible. Always a line out the door so, don't go hungry. read more

I went to this place while down the beach with my boyfriends family. His mom insisted that we go to Owen's for dinner, even though it was a 45 minute wait for our large party. With such a long wait, I assumed that the food would be good. Wrong. Thursdays was $2.50 cheeseburger night. I got a Blackened Cheeseburger that was supposed to come with lettuce and tomato and a Caesar salad. Well, the waitress said that I never ordered my salad, and had to go back and get that. Then my burger arrived... just a bun, burger and cheese. It looked so pitiful. I asked the waitress where my lettuce and tomato was and she disappeared to go get me some. After all that trouble, you'd think that at least the burger would be good. Nope. It was the most mediocre burger I have ever had in my life. I'll pass on Owen's. read more

Hostess there is downright an rotten rude, old hag! Since the wait was so long, my daughter asked her for a menu and she put her hand up in her face! Whaaaat? So I went over and asked for a menu she literally looked at the stack then looked back at me then back at the stack..... and I said So, you're not going to hand me one cause if I have to do YOUR job I should get paid! Never handed me the menu! Sat in bar area and other patrons were saying the same thing about her attitude !! Waitress was also very unfriendly...started yelling rules right when she approached the table. "You have to order a drink if you want the cheesesteak!" By the way, I have a beer sitting right in front of me! We ordered then while eating a big black bug crawled across my plate! I grabbed a tissue and grabbed it ...showed it to my waitress and she took it and walked away! No apologies no nothing.!! The hag of a hostess had the NERVE to came over and said...."What did you do now"? Is this place a joke??? Waitress came over saying in a condescending voice...."Ahhhhh the bugs come in cause the door is opening and closing." I gave the waitress EXACTLY what she deserved for a tip.....Z E R O!! Her whole presence was revolting ! This place came highly recommend... the food is average but the staff is extremely rude and nasty! Manager never came out ...they claim he wasn't there...right! Never to return to this hole! read more
