"If your usual beach lunch is a cooler full of sad PB&Js and a half a bag of stale Herr’s chips, head to PigDog for an upgrade. Set right on the beach, adjacent to the Raging Waters water park on the Wildwood boardwalk, this casual restaurant and beach bar serves mostly barbecue, including pulled pork, beef brisket, and ribs (which come with little Hawaiian rolls if you still long to make your own sandwich). But you’ll also find veggie quesadillas, salads, and other non-meat options, plus a “Little Pigs” menu for kids. Speaking of, it’s supremely family friendly (there are beach games like cornhole, and the entire ground is a sandbox). It’s also dog friendly, and there’s live music daily. A full bar ensures you can start with the Mother of All Bloody Marys (MOAB, for the uninitiated, served in a 32-ounce pitcher piled with a full appetizer sampler), move on to a frozen cocktail midday, and/or pair your dinner with a local MudHen beer on draft." - Regan Stephens
