I appreciate the old school charm of this no frills joint. Prices slightly high, but where isn't on the island? Lots of fun burger and dog options. Decent enough to fill me up, but not the most delicious burger ever. Cheese fries just alright. Hope this place forever remains nonetheless as it seems like an institution. read more

I wanted to be excited about this. Woodies has been a go to for our family for years and I've previously left high reviews on other platforms as well as yelp. But the sizes have shifted (I get it) and the prices have gone way up (also get it) but now the quality isn't what it was and the wait time is to much.... I was thinking that maybe it was just across the board but then I tried a different burger place down the road and it was great. I hope Woodies gets back to what it was but it was average, pricey, and the reason for the lower stars.... The wait was really really long. We ordered and waited to sit (which is fine it's small) but even after sitting it took a while and came out some like warm some decent.... I hope it was an off day and we will try it again but as of right now, it's not the best option for burgers read more

Cash only which is why they are probably so reasonable. Breakfast in the morning here now. This is recent. Choice of sandwiches: Pork Roll/Taylor, Bacon or Sausage egg and cheese. $7.50 from 9-11am. Ol Blue the VW Bus sits out front. 60s and 70s tunes. A timeless classic of the Island. Maybe a little more expensive than when I was a kid coming here. But all considered quite reasonable. Want to come back later and see how the regular menu held up. read more

Came down the shore on a warm but windy April day. Decided to wheel into Woodies for lunch. This is an order at the window, grab a seat, listen for name, cash only joint, and it's great. Went basic with the California cheeseburger, just means lettuce, tomato and onion. The produce is really good. The burgers are great, yellow American melted nicely with a good bun to burger ratio. Ordered a small fries to share among 2 people and it was plenty. Nj e, clean tables with umbrellas. Great service. Lingering seagull. read more

This places reminds me of those 50s burger places that were very popular in the 80s. It's not all ambiance here though. The service is pretty good, and the burgers are very good. Parking can be a little challenging so leave yourself a little time to find a spot and walk on busy nights. read more

One of the best burger places on the Island. They usually open some time in May and close in early September. Fast service and fresh food. Nice outdoor seating in the summer. We just wish they were open year round! 10/10! read more

$6 for a DAMN good foot long hot dog might seem surprising to you as it was to me. When we had to order something fast for my toddler, he was super happy chomping away on his hot dog and I had to sneak a bite. I was determined to get one for myself before the end of our long weekend getaway, and we did just that! The first take-out order we did were a try at their burgers. I opted for the Ringer Burger, since I'm a sucker for onion rings. My hubby got their bleu burger, with fries and onion rings on the side. Their burgers looked simple and were a decent size for lunch. Cooked well and plenty juicy to boot! When you don't feel like cooking, this is a guaranteed crowd pleaser at the shore! read more

Adding that extra star to make it 5 across!! Tonight the burgers were on point and that fresh pico n ripe avocado on the Mexican burger make it a must order. Bacon ranch cheese fries for $8.95 sub under priced based on the awesomeness that it was. Now for the trophy presentation. Woodies Xtra Hot wings live up to the name and now that north side doesn't carry that mango habanero wing sauce anymore we have a new undisputed champion. These wings come out hot n crispy n drenched in that Satan juice that wakes you up better than any espresso drink on the market. Very tasty too not just a flame thrower that leaves you in tears. Will be talking these up all season long. read more

Along with Woodys great tasting burgers and cheesesteaks I saw on their sign that Woodys was doing breakfast sandwiches so I figured I'd give it a try wow was I surprised sandwich was huge I I had the sausage egg and cheese on a fresh Kaiser roll two eggs two pieces of cheese two sausage patties on fresh Kaiser roll all for $8.50 was delicious will be back read more

For being a drive in burger joint, they have fresh ground beef from local butcher shop, Oakie's. It's definitely an excellent place to stop by and have an Amercana meal and ice cream. Service is good, quick, and friendly-ish. Outdoor seating is kept clean and umbrellas are placed at every table to give you respite from the UV rays. Woodie's blue VW bus is an iconic, vintage relic, parked in front. Photo op for any car enthusiast. Recommend. read more

Staff is very friendly. ala carte menu prices are reasonable for a beach town. Burger was better than some fancier restuarants. 10 inch dog was good bun was a little doughie. oldies music playing. they have great fries. read more

Super mediocre spot, wouldn't go back again. Whoever said this was like a burger you'd make in your backyard, is correct. The seating is uncomfortable. And they don't give you any napkins or have them on the tables, they only have them in one dispenser over by the order counter. This burger burger was small and nothing special. The flavor wasn't there and it was kind of dry. It's funny how they can't even give you pickles on the side--you only get one pickle slice. This was the California cheese burger (so it's a cheeseburger with lettuce/tomato/onion as a normal cheeseburger should have!). $10.13, cash only but the tax comes out to a weird number. read more

Classic LBI spot. Great food especially burgers. Great staff. I keep coming back year after year thanks yall.

Very cute place with a few locations on the island! My boyfriend and I each got burgers and we split an order of fries. It was a solid meal, tasted fantastic and reasonably priced for beach food. Not to mention the service was incredibly nice and accommodating, we woukd definitely make this a regular spot for some quick food if we stayed longer! read more

Woodies Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

Burgers, Dogs and even a decent veggie burger - plus fried and snacks at this LBI institution. It's packed in-season - so be patient and wait. We try to go in the winter when there is nobody there. Super casual. read more

Local place that seems like it's been around for years. I feel a majority of these 5 star reviews are due to locals who feel nostalgic about this place and just love the business - which is cool! But if we are going to be real- the quality of the food is not 5 stars. The burgers taste nothing greater than grilling burgers in your own backyard. The root beer float was what you would expect. Fries tasted like what you would get from the frozen food section. Prices are high LBI prices that do not match the quality of the food. But hey, overall, people were nice and the food was fairly quick and it hit the spot. I can see why people return. read more

Good burgers, better than your conventional Mc Donald's . Cool place , good old school vibes. Cash only . Reasonable prices . Fries were a little dry. Grilled cheese was solid . "And that's all I have to say about that " Forest Gump ‍‍‍‍‍ read more

Everything! We have been going there for 20 years. Not much open this time of year so we did take out this past weekend. Everything was average at best. The crabcakes were among the worst I've had on the island. Really disappointed. read more

I tried Woodies years ago and just went back yesterday. We called to order for pickup and it took about 20 times to get through. The food was ready for pickup in 20 minutes, which was great! I had the chicken tenders and fries with honey mustard and they were good. The burgers are also pretty good, however they are slightly overpriced. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the food, but they were good portion sizes. read more

My uncle is the owner here I highly recommend this place for good fast food! Pros Service is 10/10 Food is fresh Ambiance is retro beach music which yes it's not for everyone but this is right near the beach I mean C'mon you're here for the beach. So I think beach vibe music is quite fitting for here! Inside and outside seating Beautiful VW Bus that's always on show. Nice people and workers! Cons Long Lines because this place is popular as all hell. If you can't handle 80°F+ heat don't go to the beach! NO CARD NO APPLE PAY if you don't have CASH that's alright Woodies has an ATM but it's got a $2 charge to use it. read more

Best burger on the island! The restaurant is clean and bright on the inside. The staff is pleasant. The food is cooked fresh to order. I went three times on my week of vacation. The manager was funny nice and accommodating. Will definitely come back! read more

Woodies Drive-In - Bacon cheeseburger - plain simple and DELICIOUS. It is juicy and full of flavor. - Burgers Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

Fun environment and great food. IMO, they have the best hot dogs on Long Beach Island.

Cash only. $2 fee for ATM. You can order inside or outside. There is seating inside and out. Bathrooms are accessed from the outside. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. The staff is very nice. It was moderately busy and it took 12 minutes to get our order. The food is good. Burgers are cooked medium well unless otherwise specified. Tons of different burger topping variations. Portions are adequate. Surfer themed decor and they play music from the 60's. As others have stated, nice little local place. read more

Great burgers (of course they get them from Okie's) and milk shakes. Crispy fries. Been going here since it was Bob's and Woodie is upholding the tradition. Highly recommended read more

This restaurant has become an LBI classic. They have so much to offer and it's always with friendly service.

Most underwhelming $11.25 (cash only) cheesesteak I've had. I guess what do you expect for a quick eat. read more

Woodies Drive-In - Cheesesteak - Burgers Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

We LOVE Woodies! No trip to LBI is complete without visiting Woodies for a fantastic cheesesteak, fried clams and burgers/dogs. The milks shakes are also wonderful. If you go in the evening, they often have live music which adds to the fun. On a recent trip, my young son dropped his milkshake. I went to buy him a new one and the owner gave us a replacement free of charge. Amazing customer service and compassion to families with small kids! It's a win all around! read more

Best burgers on LBI no question. As you go to take a bite you can savor the char broil that only comes from a quality burger cooked over flame. Done perfectly at "medium". Hot, juicy, just a hint if pink in the center. I always go for the onion rings instead of fries, but both are good. Milk shakes and ice cream are all hand made too. Definitely not health food. The 4 stars was that there was some kind of schmutz on the table and one chair that we had to clean. I understand that you've got high volume but you've also got a lot of great kids working for you. I don't like cleaning either but I gotta do it. Not enough to keep us away though. Thanks for the music too. read more

Woodies Drive-In - Best cheeseburger on LBI, onion rings but I skipped the milkshake this time. - Burgers Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

Great variety of burgers!!! Very yummy, no frills experience! 10/10 My group did take-out and when I picked up it was an easy experience despite the crowd, which was a great sign that I was in for a delicious dinner! And I was right!! read more

The vibe of this casual burger (plus!) restaurant is just awesome - super islandy, laid back, refreshing & relaxed. It's always busy, but we never feel rushed. There is live music outside on the patio weekly and the absolute friendliest service. Every meal we've had here has been consistently delicious and the meat they use for their burgers is just so tasty - it really stands out from all the rest. We can't wait for them to reopen every spring!! read more

My friend and I went to LBI for the first time, and we happened to stake out a spot on the beach really close to Woodies. I love how you can substitute any beef burger with a turkey burger, chicken, or veggie burger. I got the cheddar burger (cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion) with a veggie patty, and it was delicious! My friend and I split an order of Dirty Fries, which were seasoned with Old Bay. They were so yummy! We came back a few hours later for ice cream, and that did not disappoint either! The ice cream flavors rotate frequently, and you can sample flavors before ordering them. I had S'mores, and my friend had Monster Cookie. Both were amazing, but the S'mores ice cream was a standout. A lot of times, flavors like S'mores tend to taste artificial, but this ice cream tasted like a S'more fresh off a campfire. I definitely recommend Woodies for delicious, filling beach food! read more

I like the food and have been coming here for over a decade but this review is for the service. The ATM wasn't working and the grumpy old dude blamed my card, ten other peoples cards, and not his crusty ATM machine. Get with the times lazy bum and accept cards. I left in front of the guys face after he treated me poorly. Hope he remembers this. Hey Buddy read more

Food here is always delicious and good portions. Staff is always friendly and courteous. Our family loves the burgers and the onion rings are great. Can't beat the speed of ordering and having ready. It's one of our go to spots in the island. read more

Best burgers on LBI; my wife, friends and I go almost every Sunday night of the summer, and have never been disappointed with the food. I have had nearly ever hamburger on their menu (about 20). My favorite is the Maui burger. read more

Seriously people, this place NEVER disappoints. My favorites are: 1. The Pickler 2. The Ringer 3. The Dirty Fries Hot tip for all my veggies out there: Get Woodie's DELICIOUS black bean burger as the patty for ANY of the burgers on the menu ... YUMMMMM!!! Enjoy! read more

I've been going to Long Beach Island my entire life and this is the first time I've eaten at Woodies after driving by it so many times. First of all, the atmosphere is awesome! You order your food at the window and there's plenty of outside seating. There is usually live music outside that completes the setting. The food was great too! There are plenty of options of burgers, sandwiches, wings and sides. I had the Maui burger which had pineapple, bacon and teriyaki sauce - it was delicious. There are several signs that say all burgers are made medium-well unless you request otherwise. I had mine medium-well and there was a little pink but I liked it. I also ordered the small fry as a side and it was definitely enough to share with 2 people. The service is super friendly and the food was ready very fast. The parking lot is small but there is street parking nearby if you can't find a spot - this place is definitely worth the walk! read more

Great hard ice cream. Seems like home made. Try the peanut butter cup, you've never had anything like it! The owner has been there for 13 years and I think Woodies goes back to the early '70's Look for the 1978 Volkswagen Van out front! How cool! read more
