It's amazing what a server can do. Our server was amazing. We ordered the chicken parm, eggplant parm and eggplant tower. It was all amazing. I can't wait to go back read more

We walked in yesterday after a long day at my craft fair it was only about 3:30 and the bar was packed and mostly standing room. Never being there before we stood at the hostess desk waiting for seats in the restaurant. While we waited there was a table of 4 and a table with one man. No one ever came to seat us while we store for about 10 minutes. As we looked around the bar area was having a ball and the table of 4 seemed happy but that one man sitting there alone looked left to fend for himself. After almost 15 minutes of no one coming to sit us we left. And no one cares. Sorry we won't be back. read more

Great bar with an awesome breakfast on weekends. Quality food, service, and extremely reasonable prices. Available on Uber Eats. Pro tip - you need cash for drinks but you can pay for food with a card. Bernie is a great bartender!! read more

The Waterfront - French onion soup - Bars Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

I understand that customers in the store are probably the priority but I wouldn't have placed a delivery order if I knew it was going to take THREE hours and it was not the drivers fault (I could track it) The amount of veggies was probably less than a cup. It was also delivered HOT from the chicken and poor choice of container. That didn't bother me that much but I know hot lettuce grosses out a lot of people. The chicken cutlet was decent though read more

The Waterfront - Chicken Fiesta Salad - Bars Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Bumping up another star based on our experience last night. As always the Waterfront has good service and great views if you can snag a table on the roof deck. We visited with a party of 8 and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. They added pizza to the menu this year and as skeptical as I was I decided to try it, as did 2 others in my party. I have to say I was impressed. The pizza was served in a pan and had a thin, crispy crust with a slightly sweet tomato sauce. I ordered the "Roni" which was generously topped with pepperoni, long hot peppers, and hot honey. I thoroughly enjoyed it and only finished half because the size was bigger than expected (2 can share). Oh well, leftovers for me...yay! I also have to give kudos to the French onion soup which was the best I've had on the island yet (another surprise). read more

Unfortunately, I was not happy with my service here. There was no hostess ready when we got there, waited for a good hour for our food, only for the waitress to tell us that it'll be ready in "5-10 minutes" once we asked. We ended up leaving. I understand that they may have been short-staffed but I don't condemn to this type of customer service. read more

Likely the last time we'll come for breakfast. Prices are reasonable and food is just fine. Service is consistently slow at breakfast, assume they're short staffed, it's been like this the past few years. Hostess is running drinks, you wait 5-10 minutes standing at the door before she notices you need a table. Waitresses are slow to get to tables, be ready to order when they stop by, they'll check in once after food arrives. Don't expect a refill. It's your responsibility to flag someone down to get a check. Basic breakfast with one coffee takes over an hour, most of which is waiting with nothing in front of you. It's not worth the time commitment for a basic mediocre meal. Skip breakfast and grab a drink upstairs in the evening when the weather is nice. read more

Myself and some coworkers have been frequenting this spot for lunch regularly. This place is pretty solid. It's a very well kept restaurant/bar with plenty of seating and really good food. I've tried quite a lot of items on their menu at this point. To date, everything I've ordered has been really good and nothing has disappointed me yet. I think my favorites are the "Surf and Turf Burger" and the "Pineapple Grilled Chicken Sandwich". The Surf and Turf Burger has a deep fried shrimp in the patty with coleslaw and sauce. Everything about it was cooked perfectly. The Pineapple Grilled Chicken Sandwich has this amazing sauce that goes really well with the chicken. Only thing to keep in mind is that they are cash only. That's the only criticism I have of the establishment. Luckily their prices are pretty competitive, especially considering the area and the competition. This is a great lunch spot, we are always in and out within our lunch hour. So I have absolutely no other complaints other than being cash-only and would highly recommend checking it out. read more

The Waterfront - Surf and Turf Burger - Bars Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

An okay, fairly buttoned-up but unremarkable bar and eatery with a view of water, but definitely not situated on the water - it's across the street. Anyway, there's an open spacious area when you walk in, with a super large rectangular bar front and center with a bunch of high tops scattered around, and a separate dining room with lower tables to the side. Pretty standard layout and pub menu, heavy on the burgers and wraps and nachos. The room is decently lit with a bunch of TVs scattered around, but nothing exceptional and not dive-y. The real party is upstairs where there's more outside seating, an open bar with a tropical vibe, and a much better view of the water channel across the street. A much more vibrant atmosphere up there if that's what you're after. read more

This restaurant has a waterfront but it's not along the coast. There's a canal across the street that makes it waterfront. We opted to sit inside with the air conditioning as opposed to outside where it was awfully windy and humid. The tv in the dining room had a loop of the beautiful food that they serve. We had a chicken tender appetizer, which was pretty basic frozen )but actually quite yummy. For dinner, I chose the fresh flounder, served with chunky mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley. My husband got the French onion burger, which he devoured. Our food too an awfully long time but it seems they had a ton of take out food to make before ours. They do have happy hour specials Monday- Thursday read more

You can definitely improve how you cook a medium burger, mine was a hockey puck, inedible! Also the TV's should be on Sports always. Propaganda FOX NEWS should never be on, and it was on 2 TV's! I like the politics of a restaurant I eat at to be a mystery! If it's not, I don't go there. Last time I was here, two couples were having a loud conversation, across the bar, about how great they think trump is, the problem was the bartender (male) was all about it! We had to hear his political opinions as well! Then, just recently, the whole FOX NEWS on the TV's issue. Needless to say, I'm done! Plenty of places without the nonsense! If you can't respect that people have different political views, especially these days, that just means you're disrespectful! Hard Pass! read more

CASH BAR ONLY!!!!! HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!! Honestly, I like this place! It's a very laid back vibe on the inside at a large bar and plenty of seating all around. The food was all very good, it did take way too long to come out tho, definitely order the soup if you are worried about that. The crab bisque was yummy. I'd like to try the second level and live music next time; or order takeout if it's a good beach day. Another perk is they offer daily specials for lunch and dinner. Keeps it exciting read more

Stay away! They try to serve spoiled food that's rotten. Management doesn't care. Shrugged their shoulders when issues brought up. Oysters shriveled and smelled of ammonia. Servers serving wrong drinks and food. read more

The Waterfront - Spoiled rotten oysters - Bars Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

We were greeted by staff that was not at all educated on ADA compliance for service animals, and that made for an awkward and tense experience straight off the bat. Waitress had no idea about bar offerings and after trying to get answers to basic questions without success, we gave up completely on ordering alcohol. Food was good, and decent prices, but the rest of the experience overshadowed that. Won't be returning. read more

One of our go to places. Nothing fancy just food and fun. Live entertainment can't beat it. Roof top deck has a great view.

Excellent food and cocktails. Must do their specials and happy hours! Don't miss breakfast with Bernie on the weekends

I attended a surprise birthday party at the Waterefront on the upper deck on Friday June27th! The service was exceptionally accommodating, I mean at 5 star couldn't have been better! Zack with a K and Maura( not sure of her spelling) were awesome. As they further their educations I am sure their personalities, and work ethics skills will be an asset in their future endeavors! Also I didn't get to chat with the bartender but his Cosmos were the perfect shade of pink. read more

I did not really get to experience the waterfront. We intended to go there on a Sunday afternoon to have adult beverages at their roof top bar. Unfortunately the roof top was closed? It had rained earlier in the day, but at 3pm it was very sunny and warm. Just viewing the downstairs large square bar, you could tell this is a true locals joint. My recommendation would be to call ahead. Obviously, management does not check the weather forecast and lets staff go home and then has to turn away. read more

Staff was great.. food was horrible.. place was empty, that should of given it away ,

Waited for over 1 hour for sandwiches that we ordered that never came and finally walked out. Waitress was EXTREMELY IGNORANT. We asked to pay for the 2 beers we ordered and she walked into the kitchen ignoring us. This place was a disgrace read more

We came for breakfast Sunday morning. Service was extremely slow I don't blame the servers as they were trying their best with only 2 on the floor . This is on management. read more

If you're looking for food 3-5 business days later this is the right place. The poor servers are fighting an uphill battle with an understaffed place. Was gonna wait for the food to finish my review but it's been a while. I see McDonalds Golden Arches about a mile away might just go there at this point. In the words of Rose from Titanic "It's been 84 years"! read more

This place is amazing! Has to be one of the best restaurants on this beautiful island of Wildwood. The deck has amazing atmosphere and the great weather in Wildwood adds to the experience. Great view of a bay. The service was great. The food took a while but was definitely worth the wait, the french onion soup, in specific, was some of the best I've ever had. The price was pretty fair. The whole family loved the, taste, atmosphere, and everything else about this place. Would definitely recommend if around the area. read more

We went for breakfast. Great prices and the food was delicious. Definitely will be back.

Cash only beware! We luckily had enough to cover the bill and was able to Venmo our server Briana a tip which she was super understanding about. There is an ATM on site but we're idiots and didn't see it Great food for a great price, we had an awesome server who kept checking on us throughout our visit. Food tasted great, the french onion soup was delicious as were the fried shrimp. My boyfriend got the chicken broccoli alfredo special which he loved! read more

To sum it up in three words: What a shithole. The best way to describe our waitress is that she didn't give a shit. She was nasty and rude. When asked to repeat the specials, she said, "I'm not going to repeat myself!" She even admitted that she didn't want to be there. The food came out in dribs and drabs - in no particular order. For one, the wrong soup was brought out. Instead of replacing it with the soup that was ordered, she removed it from the check without saying anything until I asked her what happened to it! As far as the food goes, don't expect much and you might be able to eat it. You can get a much better meal at any diner in the Wildwoods. But if you like eating garbage, this is the place for you. Oh, and the drinks? Crap as well. My old fashioned was made with God knows what. I asked for Old Forester, but they were out of it. The drink looked like it was made with dirty dishwater. I was charged on the bill for Old Forester's! Do yourselves a favor. Go somewhere else. read more

Been here many times and usually a good experience. Food is always decent for the price and the drafts are super cold. The eggplant stacker was delicious. Chicken florentine was good but could of had some more chicken. Fries were awful which is a difficult thing to do. The problem on Friday night was the dj. He was playing good music but it was so loud you couldn't hear. Like ear bleeding loud. A few tables around us even left because of the volume. Music is supposed to enhance the experience not ruin it. Probably would have stayed for a few more drinks but couldn't tolerate the sound. I know not to go on Friday in the future. read more

The Chicken Parmesan was really dry and chewy-I don't think I've ever had a bad piece of Chicken parm before today. Ordered a side of crab imperial -as soon as I opened the container all I could smell is starch-dry as well. Onion rings tasted like they were fried in old oil-side salad was a joke and they sent no utensils or napkins. I was very disappointed for $60-i can't say anything positive read more

From the folks who bought you Owens in North Wildwood, comes the Waterfront, a bar/restaurant in the heart of Wildwood City. It's got everything you love about Owens and some of the things you hate. Let's review. The good: great sunset views of the bay. Pub style food. Recommend the flatbread, steamers, the Reuben Egg rolls, and the wings. The prices are great. Just like Owens, you wonder if they put the decimal in the wrong spot. So cheap. Villas prices in Wildwood. Service was outstanding. Bridget kept apologizing for not being on her "A game"; I'm not sure why, she was fantastic. The bad: just like Owens, the bar is full of locals complaining about how much they hate the summer crowds. Just like Owens, it's cash only (it's 2021 guys, not asking you to take Bitcoin, but WTF?). The weird: random elevator. Your customers find it hard to walk up one flight of steps? There are 4 tables upstairs. Who is the elevator for? I'll be back. Maybe I'll even take the elevator. read more

The Waterfront - Owens...with a view - Bars Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Came here as family of 10. Waitress service was good. One thing that is weird is it's called The Waterfront but it's not on the water. The food was just ok to me. I got the shrimp tacos. The shrimp was hard and couldn't be eaten in the taco so I ate it out of the tortilla with a fork, the sauce was good though. The shrimp is the same as the dynamite shrimp just different sauce. My son and I shared both the Jersey crab and bisque- we liked the bisque better but both were pretty good. Other people in our group had a cheesesteak, a Rueben, a cheeseburger, kids grilled cheese, kids chicken fingers, cheesesteak egg rolls, steamers, dynamite shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, shrimp cocktail and everyone felt it was pretty good. The prices were great. For a family of ten our bill came to around $240-$250. read more

I would like to say that on Friday night had dinner there n it was great. Our server Kristen was so sweet and inventive to us. The food was very very good, great atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful night. read more

Im writing this review still completely confused. I made a reservation for 6 for the outdoor deck. I confirmed it would be a covered area though and assured yes. We arrived on time and sent upstairs and that's where it gets a bit nutty. Our table was given to another party so they made a space for us under the boiling sun. We checked out the menus while trying not to make a fuss about feeling like fried bacon sitting under the sun. We decided it was too much heat for us after being on the beach all day and went downstairs instead. We were informed the special we wanted was for upstairs only and the other special we liked was for bar only. Ok, so just sit us somewhere we can eat anything cause now we're like 30 mins into this ordeal. Checked out the menu again and the prices were different from upstairs. Weird. We finally got the attention of our waitress to put in our order and she was a ghost after that. We asked for ranch and honey mustard for our two orders of chicken fingers when ordering and twice more and it never arrived. Long story long, we spent two hours in this place for chicken fingers, a cheesesteak, a burger, crab sandwich, and two fried chicken sandwiches. All were pretty decent but nothing to run back to again because of service and waiting made it not worth the hassle. It was not busy at all when we arrived. I think we were one of 4 tables seated. The 2 stars are for the prices. Very reasonable! But go experience it for yourself and prove me wrong. I'd like to say it was an off night for them but their varying menu prices and special policies will still be the same. read more

The Waterfront - Cheesteak Omelet - Bars Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Although we've had a place in the Wildwoods for a few years, I discovered this place today on Google maps today and thought we'd give it a try. The food was ok but the service was just awful. As I want the owner or manager to read this, I will specify that I had the middle aged waitress (vs the younger one). The 3 of us went for lunch and ordered a dozen raw oysters, steamers, mussels, a hoagie, and a burger. First our steamers and mussels came, but shortly after our hoagie and burger arrived. The waitress came over a minute later with our check (yes - we received the check before we even took our first bite and before all of our dishes arrived), and asked how things were at the same time she put the check on the table. After we told her we didn't receive the oysters, she said she'd tell them to make it right away. As we ate our appetizers and patiently waited, no oysters arrived. We waited some more but our main dishes were starting to get cold. I assumed maybe that our waitress left hence why she gave us the check, but after getting up and going around the bar, I saw her there and told her to cancel our oysters and re-do the check. The hostess came over to give us a new check. There are soo many good places to eat around here that have great food and great service. We had high hopes for this place but it was a big letdown. The mussels and burger weren't bad, but the rest of the food was ok at best. But when our waitress came before we even took the first bite and we didn't get the oysters, I was a bit unimpressed. Great food would have made up for it, but that wasn't the case either. Too bad.. We come to the Wildwoods all year round and frequent many of the better restaurants (especially the big one on Rio Grande). read more

Our party of 9 came here for the first time early on a Saturday night in March. We were lucky to be able to get a table without a wait since it started filling in quickly after we arrived. The hostess, Jean, was very friendly and checked on us frequently. Our server, Kelly was also amazing. There was a band setting up and the atmosphere was fun and festive. We ordered the pretzels, wings and texas cheese fries (bacon on the side) as appetizers and the crew scarfed them down so fast, I didn't get to snap any photos. Dinner was just as delicious. I got the shrimp tacos. The creme on top was a little heavy, and I would've liked some pickled onion or similar for some bite, but the shrimp was crispy and had a good flavored sauce. My hubs got the Turkey club and he enjoyed it. Sis and her hub got the fish and chips and eggplant tower. The kids got a variety of dishes (photos below). Overall, everyone enjoyed their meals and were full. We are excited to have such a welcoming spot, walking distance from where we usually stay. I can't wait to come back when it gets warmer since they have a rooftop deck. We definitely plan to become regulars this summer! read more
