Everything went well from start to end....the service, the food and the atmosphere. Proportions were just right as was the price.

A year later and we're back again! Same awesome waitress and consistently good food. Friendly and welcoming staff complete the experience of this eatery. Again, highly recommend for consistently good food and service. A must if you are visiting Wildwood! read more

PROs - breakfast options , taste CONs - Coffeeeee , tea :( We were staying in wildwood , close to the beach and this place was very close to us . Checked google reviews and dropped in for an early morning breakfast . It was a weekday and hence we could get seated quickly. Lots of seats inside and outside to dine in. Good service : the guy was very helpful and quickly seated us . Parking could be a problem in peak hours .. price was ok . Not too expensive . Let me start with coffee :(. For me , a whole breakfast is - coffee plus breakfast .. . Coffee really kick starts the morning for me and it was a little disappointing that they still have the old Pot style coffee .. it was watery and I didn't feel the completeness in the breakfast .. tea was also a old styled dip tea ! Moving onto breakfast .. it was just super awesomeeeeeeee.. we ordered some omlettes and it was just fantastic ! 3 of us were able to eat one omlette .. it was so good quantity wise .. they also gave tator tots and bread with it . Sumptuous ! Bagel with cream cheese / butter was good . We loved the breakfast . Could have given 5 stars if they upgraded their coffee machines , and buy an espresso machine :) 4 stars read more

Delicious breakfast food with wonderful friendly service. It has a great vibe with a beachy theme. Always a good meal here!

One of our favorite places on the island. Always consistently good and excellent service

Came to have breakfast with my husband & daughter. Extremely friendly staff! We were sat immediately and no wait even though the dining room was packed. The food was delicious. I had the Florentine Eggs Benedict, my husband had the Country Omelette, and my daughter had the Silver Dollar Pancakes. Everything came out quick. Great service from start to finish! read more

Excellent place for breakfast Coffee was delicious and service was great! Overall my wife and I enjoyed our meal... She had the waffle with a side of bacon I had the eggs Benedict based off the positive reviews While everything was cooked well the hollandaise sauce was a complete disappointment... Pro Tip Get it on the side...and if it's hot to the touch it has been made from a mix... Still would return though read more

I know this has the best rating around but honestly the food is mid. There is no seasoning in anything, which is so strange but maybe speaks to the demographic of people that eat here? Either way, I was disappointed. The wait staff were kind and the service was quick, so those are pluses. read more

9/16/2023 Clean and very friendly!! We had just finally gotten into beautiful wildwood crest and The Jellyfish Cafe came highly recommended by a friend who has a gorgeous place at The Grande! She's been such a great resource to me letting me know of places to try and what is open after Labor Dsy! Christine waited on us and she was friendly and efficient. I went with her recommendation of eggs Benedict which was fantastic! I opted for tots instead of traditional home fries- ahhh crispy hot and oh sooo good!! The fresh fruit cup came with it and it had apple, watermelon, grapes, cantaloupe, kiwi, strawberries and fresh pineapple. They are open from 8am- 2 Friday-Saturday-Sunday. Th close Columbus Day weekend (yes I said it "Columbus Day") The owners granddaughter, Julianna was so sweet checking on guests and offering coffee refills. She was a delight. I purchased a shirt because I loved the day glow yellow color. I highly recommend this family run, well established business. read more

We were in the area for Memorial Day weekend and wanted to try this place since they had so many great reviews online. And boy, they were right! It was only a 15-minute walk from our hotel, and when we arrived, there was no wait at all, despite it being packed. We were also greeted by a very friendly gentleman at the front desk (I believe it was the manager/owner). Actually, all of the staff we met there were like that and helpful as well. The man also thoughtfully offered our youngest an Etch-A-Sketch to play with while there. To his delight, he was able to draw a jellyfish and share his creation with the friendly man when we were on our way outside after our meal. As for the food, they were all very delicious. The pancakes were nice and light, and the bacon and sausages, cooked well. I also tried their Creamed Chopped Beef on Toast and Tater Tots which I enjoyed as well. The place was also nice and sunny, and had a warm, family-like vibe. We highly recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood. Try to get there early if you're planning to have breakfast or brunch because it will get crowded. But you will not be disappointed. We hope to come back next time. read more

Food OK. Service super friendly. Ambiance cute. Diner-ish. Family-friendly. Convenient location for Wildwood

We were in Wildwood Crest visiting family and my brother-in-law recommended this place for breakfast. It was a hit. The wife loved her Eggs Benedict. I had delicious pancakes. My son had some sort of waffle supreme. It came with ice cream and whipped cream plus a lot of fruit. The baby girl had a regular waffle, which she gave the thumbs up on. She can sometimes be a waffle snob . The place was roomy and not as densely packed as many shore places can be. The service was good. Appeared to be family owned and very efficiently run. Upon leaving there were quite a few people waiting for a table. Glad we went early. read more

Amazing food, great staff being going here ever since I was a kid 10/10 food totally recommend

Great food, fast service and a fun vibe. I loved my veggie omelette and my son loved his burger. It was early and he doesn't like breakfast food so we were thrilled they had other options. It was off season and very busy but I imagine there's going to be a long wait in the summer months. I'd say it's worth the wait! read more

The sausage was good. The toast was fine. The eggs were ok. The home fries were kind of dry. Not a bad place by any means just simply better places to go to in Wildwood for breakfast read more

It was an excellent breakfast. We were treated very well. The ambiance was great too.

Coffee was instantly delivered, great omelettes, buttery, fluffy chocolate chip pancakes, delicious crispy tots, and the special apple fritter French toast was delicious. Waited about 30 min to get in--10:30am on a Sunday. Highly recommend! read more

I don't even know where to start with this review. There is so many positives to relay! I had never been to this establishment but found it by googling. I then called to inquire about their wait time since it was Sunday at 11:30am. The man who answered the phone (who I later found out was part owner) was super friendly. Although they were busy he took the time to say it wouldn't be a long wait for a party of two. He also offered to take our name & put us on the wait list since we were 5 minutes away. I hadn't even asked about call ahead seating...great business sense & kind! When we arrived we were given a buzzer. We had time to look around & see the cool, coastal decor. We also observed the coordinated & efficient efforts of seating parties. A party in need of a high chair was seated at end of the booths so as not to obscure the aisle. A family with a baby stroller was given a large table so the stroller could be placed beside it in place of a chair. Not only efficient but thoughtful seating. On that same note, the hostess offered a etch-a-sketch to ever child being seated. I felt that was a unique & practical touch. Once seated we were greeted by a very friendly waitress, Irene, who took our drink order. She promptly returned with our drinks & told us to take our time as the menu was new to us. The menu had several homemade items like meatballs, Caesar dressing, coleslaw, etc. We saw plates coming out of the kitchen that looked delicious & had generous serving sizes. I opted for the salmon Caesar salad & my husband got the chicken sandwich. My salad was fresh, the dressing was unmistakably homemade (bite of anchovy & lots quality cheese bits - see photo) & the salmon was smoking hot. The dressing tasted divine (I have a pet peeve about ordering entree Caesar's & merely getting bottled dressings.) & the salmon was well cooked & tasty. The chicken sandwich had two filets, fresh roll, tasty slaw, whole pickle & generous serving of french fries. They also have fresh brewed ice tea which is a staple of mine. Refills were included (not always a given anymore) & our waitress provided attentive replenishments. I was able to speak with the gentleman who answered the phone. I discovered the other owners are his dad & uncle. His uncle was cooking in the kitchen. His dad was walking around chatting with customers, too cute! The staff was either family like a bus boy who was the son of a cousin or waitresses that had been with them forever (& considered family). How lovely to see a family operation making a go of a business. It also explains the conscious, hard working, coordinated efforts in my opinion. I complimented him on how everyone was hustling & attentive. We watched the bus boys orchestrate the clearing of tables, one wiping tables down while the other placed table settings. We also observed the cousin's son stop to pick up a stray utensil & straw wrapper he took time to notice on the floor. Totally explains why the place, although in midst of Sunday rush, was clean & orderly. We cannot wait to return & have already picked out our next selections, lol. Give The Jellyfish Cafe a try, support family cooperation & enjoy fresh, delicious entrees. The only negative is they are only open in season (Mother's Day - late September/early October). That's understandable though considering the dad & uncle are Snowbirds. read more

Came in for breakfast, first time here. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, feels very family oriented. Fun and bright decorations, kids even got Etch-a-Sketches to keep them busy. Food came quick and was delicious. We will definitely be back and highly recommend everyone give this place a try! read more

Service was great. Our waitress was very attentive to our coffee refills. I had a wonderful omelet with great hash browns. The pancake portions are crazy. Our waitress told us to order one next time and we can always add another if we are still hungry. The restaurant was bright and cheerful with good tunes. read more

Cant believe we've been to the area so many times and have never tried the Jellyfish Cafe! Cool spot for sure! Friendly service, good food, decent pricing and lots of seating. Knocked off a star because we decided to sit outdoors and although our outdoor booth was adorbs, there were just too many annoying flies which really bothered us while we attempted to eat peacefully. read more

Excellent food, great service, reasonable prices. Had the turkey club and a side of short stack pancakes. The club was so large I struggled to get my mouth open enough to take a bite. I did it eventually but it wasn't easy. Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. I would definitely go again! read more

We've been going to Jellyfish Cafe for over six years. It's time we left a review! Jellyfish is the best café around! My favorite dish is the Florentine Eggs Benedict. It is so delicious! Omelets, French toast, etc, etc. are equally great. When we travel, I try Florentine Eggs Benedict in numerous restaurants and nothing compares to the version at Jellyfish Cafe. Another thing that makes Jellyfish stand out from the rest is the staff. They are so warm and welcoming and make you feel like family. We love it there. read more

Best in the Crest or anywhere on the Jersey shore. You can't miss here with any omelet, apple fritter French toast or Belgian waffle. Lunches are great too. Try their Patty Melt, it's delish and comes with French fries and coleslaw. Owners and staff are the best. Always present but never annoying. Please try this...you will love it and become a regular!!! read more

Off the boardwalk spot very clean and very cool indoor and outdoor seating available. Service was fast and very knowledgeable and professional wait staff, they took care of our breakfast needs and made our breakfast enjoyable. Ordered I think it was called Man of War breakfast including two fresh pancakes, two eggs any style, bacon and two big size link breakfast sausage. We added a buttered toasted English muffin and split the meal. If you have not been here it is worth the trip about 3 blocks off the beach block in the crest. Menu is large you will find any breakfast you want to order at The Jelly Fish Cafe. The very best breakfast I ever had in the Wildwoods enjoy. read more

Great mom and pop breakfast/brunch joint -- with super friendly grandma and grandpa owners. Big smiles and gigantic plates of well prepared waffles, egg dishes, burgers and French toast. Worth the wait. Best in Wildwood -- hands down -- and reasonable. Top Tip: Al fresco dining on their open porch is pleasant on a nice sunny day. read more

This place was a good choice for breakfast. The food was good, service was good, the theming was cute and they gave my daughter an etch-a-sketch to entertain her at the table which she loved.

Please do come here if you visit Wildwood!!! This is 5 stars all the way even during covid with the outdoor dining. They did a nice job with the outside dining- they do have a section with one wall open so it is partially indoors. Eating on sand tables was so creative!!!! The service is on point - this is casual but the portions are hearty and the food is delicious!! Liked it so much came here twice during our 4 day stay! You cannot go wrong with the breakfast here it beats most hotel breakfasts in the area. Nothing bad to say accept please go there and props to the very nice owner! He always greeted us very nicely - they know how to run their business honestly! Blessings to you The Jellyfish Cafe :) read more

This cute little diner was 100% worth the visit! We sat outside with enough shade for a comfortable meal despite the heat. The staff was the friendliest I have ever encountered. Each person working there seemed genuinely inviting and like they were thankful for our service. My boyfriend and I got the eggs Benedict and florentine eggs Benedict. Both were phenomenal! The eggs were poached to perfection. The hollandaise sauce smothered over top was plentiful and rich. The portion sizes were great for the price. Each plate came with a fruit bowl and either tater tots or home fries. The fruit was fresh, and the tater tots deliciously crispy. I have no complaints and highly suggest visiting this delicious eatery. read more

The Shrimp Hoagie, baked with fried shrimps, melted provolone and sweet peppers and onions, was yummy and filling. BLT sandwich was good too. I thought the small fruit bowls could be a little bigger for the price. My waitress was attentive and nice but I was a little annoyed to find that I was charged with what I thought was complimentary coffee (I wish she had made that clear before she poured it). Overall, food is good and reasonably priced. There's both a shaded area and sidewalk area for seating. Manager and staff were also super friendly and sweet. read more

We had the privilege with being serviced by Adrian a few weeks back. Our group had a food allergy and she was so accommodating! She had gone above and beyond for us by working with the chef on different substitutions. The thoughtfulness of the staff and truly making us feel at home with her kindness will not be forgotten. We look forward to coming back! read more

Great breakfast spot in Wildwood Crest... friendly & fast service, cozy atmosphere, and the waffles are delicious

Been coming to Wildwood for years and saw the good reviews of this spot so figured we would try it out for lunch. Ordered a chicken Caesar wrap for myself and chicken fingers for my son. The wrap was really sloppy. Loosely wrapped and a mess to eat. The lettuce wasn't fresh the chicken was chewy and the dressing wasn't great. The chicken fingers were alright and they came with fries which were below average. The biggest issue was the fact that employees inside (where you order) were not wearing masks. Also, the tables on the patio outside were no where near 6 feet apart. I understand this is more of a breakfast/brunch place but based on this experience it's hard to see myself going back. read more

Been eating at the Jellyfish for years and it's always great! Everyone is so nice and it has Jersey Shore written all over it. We love it.

There is always a line to get in. The food is so good. Yes, they know how to cook breakfast better than everyone else in the area. There is a difference between here and every other diner. And service is even better. Long live jelly fish cafe. read more
