I'm not the biggest fan of bbq but this was spectacular. The bbq doesn't have that overwhelming smoke flavor and the meats are of the best quality. The sides ( Mac n cheese, cornbread, and potato salad) were also excellent. The star of the menu is the brisket but EVERYTHING was excellent. Glad we gave this place a shot because we are coming back! It's no wonder the brisket won awards in NYC. read more

Wildwoods BBQ - Mac n cheese, burnt tips, potato salad, brisket, fried sticky ribs, and cornbread - Barbeque Near Me - North Wildwood, New Jersey

We've been eating at Wildwoods BBQ a lot in the past couple years and they never disappoint. The meat is quality and delicious. The sides are unique and stand out when compared to other places. I love the beans. And they might have the best French fries in Wildwood (only rivaled by Maui's Dog House). I always leave feeling satisfied. read more

The food looked amazing tasted great this place ranked over all the restaurants over here best place to go here

This was one of the best BBQ spots we had on our trip to the East Coast. The flavors were spot-on and everything came out hot and fresh. I especially loved the cornbread! It was moist, sweet, and the perfect complement to the smoky meats. Parking is limited to the street, which can be a little tricky but we never had an issue finding a spot nearby. Overall, the experience made it all worth it. The owner was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The food was so good that we actually came back a second time during our trip. If you're in the area and craving authentic, flavorful barbecue, Wild Wood BBQ is absolutely worth a stop. read more

There aren't too many bbq spots at the shore. We were staying in cape May over Labor Day. We happend on this spot. Corner restaurant with outdoor picnic tables and a few inside tables. We tried a lot of the menu between brisket which was lean and a little on the dry side. We had pulled pork which was ok nothing special. We also tried the Mac and cheese which needed salt badly. The baked beans were not baked at all but three different beans not the flavor I was expecting. We also had the potato salad . The cornbread was good but super dense. We tried the brisket cheese fries which were not terribly good. There was not a great amount of cheese on them. There was no one in the store on a holiday weekend... hmmm . I don't think it was money well spent . It was high priced for what it was . For four people it was over 160.00. read more

Called over to surfing pig and got left on hold for 15 mins so i decided to look around & came across this place. Damn good rack of ribs, fries were awesome too! Nice fellas inside. Definitely recommend & will return! read more

Ordered delivery, the connivence was a plus. Ribs were good, arrived plain, only bbq sauce, no toppings as described. Potato salad was so salty, sausage & hot links were very dry. The mac and cheese was very parmesan forward. I almost thought it was sour. I called to confirm which cheeses were used. Was told only parmesan and sharp cheddar. Hoping it was the parmesan we were tasting and not sour milk. Brisket wasn't terrible. Spent $130 would only order ribs & brisket again. read more

I must have passed by this place 50 times and never thought to stop in until I read an article that a top magazine voted their brisket sandwich the best sandwich in the state of NJ and I was compelled to stop and and try it. The place has a cool vibe and is owned by 2 Aussie childhood friends that have worked in/ran some top restaurants in Philadelphia and BBQ in Brooklyn. I ordered the newly famous brisket sandwich, the fried cauliflower with hot sauce, spices, and ranch dip and the smoked beets over tzatziki topped with pickled red onions, peppers, and dukkah (an Egyptian spice blend that is made with ground hazelnuts). The brisket sandwich was great and in line with some of the better barbecue spots I tried when in Texas. To say it's the best sandwich in the state is a stretch but for barbecue it is surely top notch. The beets and cauliflower were delicious. The sandwich and 2 sides came to a whopping $47 which I felt was very high, but hey this was a real treat. Next time I'll just order a "platter" where you choose a main and for $8 you can pick 2 sides and it also includes corn bread. read more

Small restaurant in northern Wildwoods. Appropriate sized menu so not to be overwhelming, but big enough to make you want to try several items. We shared a BBQ brisket sandwich, a side of beans (spicy beans, menu doesn't note this fact), and potato salad. Brisket sandwich was delicious! Potato salad had an interesting texture. My husband said chewy, I concur. Maybe from the skins? It needed to be colder and I couldn't put my finger on the flavor, herbs used. Looked like dill, but didn't taste like dill. Back to the beans, they are spicy, menu should state this for customers. read more

This really is an unreal restaurant. This was probably our 5th or 6th time coming here within the last 2 summers and it is never a disappointment. You really can't beat the fresh meat.

Ordered takeout online and the process was super easy. Told us it would be ready in 20 mins and it was! Super easy to get to on a major street. Staff were friendly and accommodating upon picking it up. Ribs were a bit dry and tough, almost like beef jerky. Flavor was decent and had some sort of a sesame seed rub on the outside that was sprinkled on after cooking; something I've never had before. The Mac and cheese had plenty of cheese (seemed like American and cheddar) and the pasta was cooked correctly so it didn't just fall apart. Ordered the fries cuz some of the reviews here raved about them. I didn't quite get the same experience but that could be because they were takeout and not fresh from the fryolator. read more

Super impressed. Had a lot of BBQ in my life and this is up on top. Brisket was good but the burnt ends and sausage were insane. Also, a great slaw. Mac n cheese was one of the best macs I've ever had as well. And then the pudding for dessert. Came back two days later to try even more. Cauliflower was SO good. Rivaled the meat dishes. read more

All summer I anxiously awaited the opening of Wildwood BBQ, and this weekend I was finally able to try them out. Here's what I thought... - Seating - Outdoor seating only, picnic tables that can comfortably seat 6. - Food - AMAZING! I had the pulled pork, coleslaw, fries, cornbread, and mac and cheese. It was all delicious and cooked perfectly. - Availability - It's first come first serve! So if you want to try something specific, get there early or put in an order online. I learned my lesson when the brisket was not available - but that's just an excuse to dine here again. - Pricing - A bit high, but you're paying for the quality. - Payment - Cash and credit accepted Looking forward to having Wildwood BBQ as part of my favorite shore spots. read more

This place is quite expensive. Prices are double than other places such as Mission BBQ. The quality of the meat is poor. People that work at the restaurant are unfriendly and sometimes rude. I do not recommend this place at all. Any other place at the shore is much better. read more

The brisket was good but the Mac and cheese and the potato salad both had an odd flavor. Prices were high for what we ordered

Returned today for my second visit. Got the brisket sandwich with cole slaw, potato salad, and cornbread. Outstanding! Brisket sando was top notch with other superb BBQ in the region. Coleslaw was also excellent as was the cornbread. Cornbread was nice and moist and tasty. The potato salad was the only item I didn't think was among the best I've had recently. Consistency is so hard for BBQ and this place is now a fav of mine. They did not have any house made BBQ sauce out, which would have been the only thing I would have wanted. read more

Hands down best bbq in wildwood and most likely cape may county. Owners are great people and they are bringing some excellent cuisine to wildwood. Def try the veggie sides like the beets or the omg amazing fried cauliflower. Coleslaw was excellent too. As for the proteins you will be hard pressed to find better smoked brisket in these parts. Ribs and sausage and hot dog excellent choices too. Looking forward to coming back read more

This place is a real find. We tried the brisket sandwich which was very flavorful and filling. The brisket fries are ridiculously great - the fries are homemade and topped with brisket. We also tried the rib tips which were coated in either honey or molasses. Outstanding! Prices are great. Food quantity is great. Food quality is outstanding with great smoke.

Wildwoods BBQ - Sample of meal at WW BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - North Wildwood, New Jersey

I tried Wildwoods BBQ with friends when they were doing previews in NYC, and the food is insanely good. We had the brisket, the slaw, the pulled mushrooms, and the spare ribs. I'm not generally a fan of vegetarian options when it comes to barbeque, but I would order the pulled mushrooms again without hesitation (as an addition, not a replacement). The slaw was delicate and savory (not overloaded with mayo like a lot of slaws are, in my opinion) and the meat was probably the best I ever had. Excited for the grand opening next week, I'll be there. read more

Food was delish. My husband raved about the meal he got. Nice hearty dinner for when we were out there for vacay.

Wildwood BBQs Must haves - their hotdog which is made in house. My husband after eating said it's probably the best hot dog he has ever eaten. My favs ... the grilled cauliflower, brisket, pulled pork sandwich, Don't miss the burnt tips and their loaded hand cut fries! read more

I want to start out by saying my rating would have been 5 stars but I think I caught them on a night when they were under staffed and running a new promotion. The staff was a bit frantic. With that said our food was really good. The burgers, generous portion of french fries, mac & cheese and the BBQ sauce was all very good. The atmosphere is perfect for a beach town. Everyone who came to eat was calm and casual. Music playing etc.... Will definitely go back. read more

Fantastic Texas style BBQ in one of the more surprising places ever, Wildwoods NJ a couple blocks from the beach. Brisket was great along with beef sausage and pulled pork. Mac and cheese was very good too. Only knock is they surprisingly didn't make their own BBQ sauce. read more

Been there multiple times, and pleased every time. My favorites are the pork ribs, but the Aussie sausage has a unique, savory flavor and I often get an order of those to have on hand in case of a sausage emergency. I've also had the brisket, which is very well-smoked and tasty. The sides also add to the experience too - great fries, great mac and cheese. Strong recommendation! read more

You gotta (b)eat the best to be the best, as the saying goes. Living in South Philly and having Mike's BBQ as their go-to BBQ, well, it's set a pretty high standard. However, Wildwoods BBQ has earned the #1 BBQ spot down the shore, in my book. Incredible brisket and perfectly seasoned sides are what really stood out - though I also thoroughly enjoyed the delicious irony of Morrissey blasting over the radio at a BBQ restaurant. The runs were delicious, but 4 ribs for $15, seems a little steep. Regardless, these Aussie dudes know smoke, and are easily running the BEST BBQ joint east of East Passyunk. read more

brisket was awesome, not the best I've had but had a nice flavor and texture, hard to say how it could be better im not a bbq expert but i think the fat is a good indicator and the fat wasn't super enjoyable to eat though i did eat almost all of it. the "small fries" were seemingly endless with no tray in sight, they were crispy and delicious with a few nice sauces making them even better. Fried cauliflower was really good and well seasoned. Mac and cheese was super good and light and easy to eat with nice bread crumbs on top. nice outdoor seating. read more

So I have been here twice, the first time everything was perfect. The ribs are delicious, they have a dry rub that is full of flavor. Their pulled pork is also great, and they (usually) give you some home made North Carolina bbq sauce with vinegar, that adds to the flavor of the meat. After my first visit, the next week I ordered again. I got the ribs, pulled pork and this week I added the baby back ribs. This time they forgot that vinegar sauce for the pulled pork and the baby back ribs ribs were hard and like jerky. I let the owner know on IG and received a reply that he had sold 24 racks and hadn't heard from anyone, and maybe they were fried too long. My problem is the food here is not cheap, and it can be well worth it, but I would have thought the owner would want to keep me coming back and at least offer to replace the ribs. I felt by saying no one else said anything in 24 orders, than I must be wrong. Just left a sour (without vinegar) taste in my mouth, I'm sure I will be back but no rush because of the poor customer service. On both visits I brought my orders home, but they do offer a few outdoor tables to eat on before heading to the beach, boardwalk or nightlife that North Wildwood has to offer. read more

This place is awesome. I took my family there for dinner last weekend. We were so hungry and everything sounded so good. We bought practically everything on their menu. The food is wonderful. The brisket was perfectly done and juicy. The ribs were delicious as was the BBQ chicken. The pulled pork was excellent. I also loved the mushrooms. The coleslaw had a wonderful taste and texture. I've never had coleslaw like this. It was delicious. (Wish I knew how they made it!) The two owners were so pleasant and friendly. If you are in the area, go try the food. You won't be sorry. read more

Great location for this new local spot with incredible bbq. Ordered the mushroom sandwich with sides (mac and cheese, cole slaw, pickles, pickled onions, potato salad) and the ADDICTIVE Lamington for dessert which is corn bread coated in chocolate + topped with coconut flakes. I'm not vegetarian but the mushroom sandwich was smokey and delicious. Loved the mac and cheese and potato salad is delightfully complex in flavor. Highly recommend! read more

I found myself in Wildwood, New Jersey for Labor Day weekend. My boyfriend lives in Dallas, Texas, so I'm very familiar with quality smoked meats. A few pros and cons about this new restaurant. The meats were actually extremely flavorful and cooked well. Nothing was overcooked, and nothing was too smoked or too seasoned. The half chicken was a favorite. I also enjoyed the pickles and the cornbread. What got me was the lack of sides. In Texas, if you don't have a green side such as collard greens, brussels sprouts, or green beans, it's a problem. This restaurant has quality sides, but the number of options is very limited. Additionally, I did find the prices to be quite steep. Although I'm not familiar with shore prices given the seasonal nature of the business, the overall meat selection was 10 to 15% more expensive than it is in Texas. I would recommend this restaurant for the meats but would encourage you to prepare your own sides and compliments. read more

We visited 2/4/23 and ordered brisket and chicken. Both meats had a smoke taste that gave an authentic BBQ flavor. When we visited it was the end of the day they had run out of selections based the previous week's attendance. Qe would definitely go back. read more
