Dog Friendly Restaurants North Wildwood

“*See the August 2022 "Rio Station" review.**See also, "Surfing Pig"*Rented a pontoon boat and went crabbing. The boat was clean and well-maintained and with the advice of the staff there, we ended up with more crabs than we could eat. The staff were kind, informative, accomodating and treated us like family. There were some issues with mother nature and the staff went FAR BEYOND normal expectations to ensure our safety and comfort. Having been sooooo impressed with their extraordinary customer service, I asked about the cafe. I understand the food to be "phenomenal" (it was packed for dinner). Can't wait to try it. :-)“

“This place is the COMPLETE package for a fun night!! The staff is always so friendly, patient, and accommodating! Felt the need to write a review as I witnessed a woman being rude to the owner and his staff last night :( I am so impressed with their kindness despite the customer’s scene! Great food, cocktails, and music.“

“We are major fans of Jesters, the sister-spot to Surfing Pig and owned by the same company -- and Surfing Pig did not disappoint!The location is incredible; right on the water with a gorgeous view of a little marina. There is a small parking lot, and adjacent street parking. We arrived at opening time during the week and had no wait.Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Loved everyone we encountered.Drinks were delicious. I had the Cape May Lemonade, and I'm definitely coming back for another! Can't wait to try the Jalapeño Pineapple Margarita!Portions are huge and food is delicious. The people next to us ordered the Salmon Salad and I snapped a picture because it looked so incredible! Pulled pork nachos were super yum, and the poke bowl is our usual go-to (a menu item also at Jesters that we get every time). Never disappoints!A thousand percent recommend this little gem, and also their Dive Bar, Jesters, only 15 minutes away in Rio Grande.“

“From start to finish our night was wonderful! I'm always happy to see the Oysters Rockefeller on the menu, they are amazing! They had a dessert on special, a 20 layer crepe cake with vanilla cream and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back, every time we go it's a 10/10 experience.“

“Never dined here before. Picked it out for birthday celebration. Food was very good. The New England clam chowder was the best we've ever had and we've tried plenty through the years!! They even had key lime pie for dessert, which was also very good. Pork chop and Osso Buco were cooked perfectly. Our waitress Barbara was excellent, efficient and professional. I was wished Happy Birthday by the hostess upon arrival. When the table next to us received birthday “fireworks “ with their dessert, we mentioned to Barbara that we were also celebrating, she apologized for not knowing and brought one right out to our table!! Ambiance was nice. Prices are what you would expect to pay for a restaurant of this caliber. All in all, a nice dinner was had with plenty of leftovers. I would highly recommend Tisha's and will return.“

“Just drove into town and needed food. Had no idea we’d find the best Chicken Caesar wrap and Burger. Super friendly, fresh and excellently priced. Highly recommend! My husband even leaned over and said “This is the best burger I’ve had in a looooong time”.“

“Nauti is a great spot to enjoy cocktails in Cape May! It's especially nice to visit on a night with live music. Go in knowing that it will be crowded if you visit on a Saturday night and seating is limited.It would have been nice to have more seating options, especially outside. The fire pits weren't lit and there weren't many heat lamps.Having been there in the fall, I know they have a great outdoor seating area to enjoy in the warmer weather.Definitely a place to visit when in Cape May!“

“Son and I were in the day before Thanksgiving, even though I think they were supposed to be closed as per their website. We were all but the only ones there, definitely the only tourists. The bartender offered suggestions and was spot on with the beers he offered. I’m not sure if the others there, three people, were just regulars or the owners. We sat over three flights with good conversation between us all. The beers were excellent to put it mildly, in other words, fantastic.Thanks folks for a great experience, we’ll be returning.“

“Haven't been to Slack Tide since they first opened and holy cow! Their new tasting room is awesome. Spacious indoor seating with plenty of room at the bar and ample table selection. Love that you can either order at the bar or via your phone. Summers must be awesome here with their outdoor seating! Their seasonal cranberry Haywire Twist was awesome and my sister and I both loved the Dry Dock. Can't wait for my next visit.“

“This place has a great vibe! Sat outside on a brisk night but the heaters kept us perfectly warm. Waitress and food was great. Ordered 2 rounds of beers with an app and 2 entrees. Came in around $90 before tip. Will definitely be coming back (hopefully soon)!“

“Food is delicious and the service is friendly and fast.“

“My 1st time at Peace Pie. I surely was missing out. Such a cute place and so vibrant and colorful. Love the peace signs in the front. The large flavor sign made it easy to pick a flavor and I love how every pie is $8. You can't beat one set price ! I definitely recommend the salted caramel brownie ice cream sandwich ! It was so sweet and the brownie was so gooey and delicious!“

“Unfortunate to see this shop is temp closed. Went a few months ago and had to drop a review because the ice cream was great. Got the strawberry and coconut. The bold and creamy flavors really stood out. Has a cool old school ice cream shop vibe and service was good. Hope they get back to business soon!“

“Fantastic upscale option in Cape May! Awesome chef with menu changes by season. Very pet friendly. Knowledgeable and sweet staff. The menu is so fantastic it's hard to chose but know whatever you get will be awesome and perfectly prepared. The chef puts great thought into the menu. Beautiful setting in comfort-controlled tent. Prices are very good for the quality. Highly recommend! Don't forget to BYOB!“

“We’ve been to Viggianos twice and each time the food was excellent! Last time we had the lobster ravioli and the lasagna. This time we had carbonara and the salmon dinner. Wow! We had the stuffed mushroom appetizer and ricotta cheese cake for dessert. Really enjoyed everything we ate and would highly recommend this place!“

“We frequently visit Cape May Winery and love it during the quiet of the off-season as well as its bustling vibe in season. I am glad to say the winery is as wonderful as ever. This winery has the best kitchen of wineries in the area with a good array of foods that are prepared to order and often much tastier than one would expect for a non-restaurant venue. The venue itself is very enjoyable with both indoor and outdoor options. We always opt to sit outside unless the winter winds are prevailing. Wine can be purchased by the glass, flight, bottle or carafe. There is often live music on weekends. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, they want you to have an enjoyable experience. We highly recommend you visit this winery. By the way, I personally like Cape May wines, on the whole, over other wineries. Each local winery has its own strength, but Cape May wines are respectable across the board.“

“I am a big fan of Cape May Brewing Company's beer so I decided to stop in and see where all of this goodness is made! The inside had cute decorations and solid jams playing. Every seat inside was filled - so I would recommend going on a nice day so you can enjoy, their huge outdoor patio! Service was great... They have a pretty flawless system for those who would like individual beers, flights or purchase cans. Out front had a food truck, as the brewery itself does not serve food. Parking could be a little bit of a hassle as there is limited space directly in front of the building. But there is ample parking just a few minutes walk from there.“

“First stop for a refreshing smoothie. A little creamy flavor to it. The biggest part to give it 5 stars was the girls behind the counter. The vibes were GREAT. They were singing to music, talking with each other and making the smoothies picture perfect... literally, they took a picture LOVED IT“

“My husband and I have made a tradition of visiting Cape May each year after Easter, and I can’t believe we haven’t been to Hawk Haven until this visit! Despite the dreary day, our spirits were lifted by the beautiful atmosphere, delicious wines, and friendly staff. We will be back!“

“We love this place and have always made it a point to come back! Last year, manager Corey was awesome and gave us a lot of options and yesterday, Jacob was by far the best waiter I ever encountered. Super nice, knowledgeable and attentive! Cannnot wait to come back again!“

“Who doesn't love Rita's? Especially down the shore? We stopped by this chain store for some ice cream. Plenty of parking. Staff opened up 2 windows to accommodate the crowd. There were tables outside with umbrellas for shade. They had a huge tic tac toe game so the guys loved it. We will be back!“

“Gorgeous event. Wish I could have my wedding there but I'm absolutely broke. The food is delicious and the produce is fresh. Havent stayed at the rooms so I can't rate it. Probably just as nice. Excited to go back when the back farm is open so I can see the “

“In addition to the amazing food/drinks and atmosphere, the service and staff are exceptional! We came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and for being cancer free and the staff bought her flowers to congratulate her! Honestly, they are the sweetest people ever! Can’t wait come back!!“

“My wife and I loved having breakfast at this family owned business. There is a friendly vibe that makes you feel welcome, and that you are appreciated. The staff is kind, and genuinely interested in pleasing the customers. I loved how they interacted with the locals and their regulars, like they were all part of their extended family. But most importantly, the bagel and egg sandwich was the best I’ve ever had- anywhere. Real, fresh eggs, cheese, and bagel. Nothing frozen or processed. I wish that I didn’t live so far away, because I would be there every morning.“

“Coho cafe is the best. Strawberry matcha with oat milk cold foam was amazing, she was beauty she was grace. The matcha is good quality and not pre sweetened. Great service and they put the perfect amount of strawberry. Lots of delish unique drinks. Also the bagels are so fluffy. 12/10“

“First time here. It was busy. Food was great. Salad and meatballs were our appetizers. Delicious. Loved the meatballs. My wife and I got pasta dishes as our main meal. We both enjoyed them. Cannoli was a good desert. As the summer comes in I can see it getting very very busy. Definitely going back.“

“CAPE MAY: Historic Cold Spring Village is an outdoor living history museum which is open seasonally and is pet friendly, but happened to be closed when we visited in late September. The village reopens on June 15, 2024. Luckily on the property, and opened year-round, is Cold Spring Brewery, one of the most unique breweries we have ever been to! Located inside a restored beautiful barn is a tasting room full of so much character, great beer, and a friendly atmosphere. It is NJ's only non-profit brewery that helps support the village to preserve history. The awesome beertender, Bill, made some great tasting suggestions and we had a fun time drinking the Hildreth German Wheat, Cold Spring Red, Cape May Farmhouse, and Pumpkin Festival Ale. There are 15 varieties on tap including non-alcoholic options. Most importantly, leashed dogs are allowed inside and there is also a great outdoor space with firepits and peaceful views. Check their schedule for live music.“

“Pizza was delicious. Staff could’ve been a little friendlier. They weren’t that busy when I walked in for a pie. It was between lunch and dinner and the dinner crowd slowly on the rise. I’m not gonna leave a 4 star review for that. It’s fantastic pizza and perhaps the best of all the Jersey shore or in the conversation for best of the Jersey shore. Was fairly priced for Jersey Shore pizza. It’s good pizza.“

“Me and the wife was at the village, so we decided to eat here on the way out, we were greeted nicely, told that it was a buffet, we were not disappointed, the service was impeccable, the food was off the charts!!! place was clean, the staff very attentive to us, and the price for what you get is unbelievable for the shore, will definitely be back“

“By far the best breakfast we’ve found in Cape May! Our server Jennifer was so friendly and attentive. I got the Oksanas avocado Benedict and my fiancé got the crab Benedict and they were both amazing. Prices were very fair. Will definitely be back! Would like to try their lunch and dinner next :)“

“Definitely an awesome spot to get some drinks and hear live music. You can tell they aren't known for their food. Very small menu. What I saw people order wasn't anything fancy. Friendly service. Robbie the bartender was very welcoming .“

“What can I say? This place makes great cheesesteaks and fills the void that Bradley's left quite nicely. Minor quibbles - I wish the rolls where just a bit bigger, but that just means next time - I order two! This will be an annual "go to" when visiting Stone Harbor for sure. Quick and friendly service as well. Just go! Do it!“

“We only ate at Big Chancho's tacos. It was so good we ate there twice in 4 days. The shrimp, fish, and steak tacos were all great. I loved the salsa verde and my husband really enjoyed both of the spicy red salsas. The complimentary chips and salsa were also really good and super filling.“

“Wonderful, wonderful soup and sandwiches! No indoor seating, although picnic tables outside, and only open on weekends. But really great food! Try one of the grilled cheeses (french onion grilled cheese was very good) and the lobster bisque.“

“Went here on a whim-we loved Bradley’s that originally had their place here. Pleasantly surprised. The cheese steak was excellent. Perfect combo of meat and cheese. Wonderful owners and convenient parking and walkability on island. Maybe they will add a cooper sharp cheese steak?!?! Cheers to Croces!“

“Never had a crepe before but it was big hit. I got one with strawberries and they got the chocolate one. All cooked from scratch and didn’t have to wait too long. Was really good and tasty. Will be good if you have a sweet tooth. The chocolate crepe was the overall favorite but they were all really worth the trip. Try one next time your near there. You will enjoy it too in sure“

“I visit Coffee Tyme every morning when I visit Cape May. Thier coffee selection is phenomenal whether you want a dark espressso or just a plain drip coffee. My favorite is the daily rotating flavors because I can't get these at home. They are unique all I do is add cream and splenda, not some sugar syrup. (see pic for flavors).They were very accommdating when we asked for a special request for our wedding this past June. One of our specialty drinks was an espresso martini and our venue did not have the ability to make fresh espresso. The manager put me in contact with the owner and I asked if it would be possible for them to brew 30oz of espresso the afternoon of the wedding. Not only was he happy to do so, he explained for me not to let it sit and get room temp, but to refrigerate it asap to have the best flavor. The bartenders used every drop!“

“My family and I had a great experience, the service and food was great, the wings were absolutely delicious ? nice atmosphere, very clean place. Will visit again ??Parking: We did not have trouble with parking. We were staying at a hotel for the weekend.Kid-friendliness: I saw other families with their kids. It was very nice to see that.“

“Last-minute decision today decided to go sit at the bar and have a few drinks and then decided to eat. We had Clams Casino and Chicken Parm both were absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks Carl for taking care of us at the bar!!“
