The 15 Best Restaurants In Wildwood 2024 - Jersey Shore - The Infatuation

"Even if you don’t know the difference between a pilsner and a porter, you’ll still be happy to hang out at Mudhen. Wildwood’s first craft brewery, which opened in 2018, occupies a cavernous former Harley Davidson showroom, and the dining room spills out into a spacious, shaded outdoor patio. Between the space, the welcoming atmosphere, and better-than-it-has-to-be bar food, it’s a great place for beer geeks, families, and even your dog (if you sit on the patio). There’s a parking lot on-site, so it’s also great for people who hate street parking. Order a flight of beers—try the Wee Heavy Wilson, even if you’re not a Scotch ale person—and don’t skip the housemade potato chips." - regan stephens, candis mclean, sydney mcelwee

I cannot speak highly enough of our wedding at the Mudhen Station House. We had the best night we could ever imagine thanks to Ply and her AMAZING staff. We received so many compliments on the decorations, food and service throughout the entire night. Ply and her team set up all of our decor, directed us throughout the night on the agenda, and put us completely at ease!! Our wedding was in late November, so we were able to use the outside portion for our cocktail hour with all of the beautiful Christmas lights and firepits. It was stunning, and surprisingly very warm with the heat lamps! Inside, Ply and her team set up long tables with baby breath and candles on all of our tables. The food was DELICIOUS and the vibes were perfect. I seriously cannot have wished for a more perfect time and hope this review finds a new bride and groom looking for the BEST venue in South Jersey to share in my experience. Thank you Ply and team for the best day we could ever imagine!

Our family hosted my in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary dinner here and it was BEYOND EXPECTATION. The atmosphere was fun yet intimate, service was AMAZING (Amber our waitress, deserves a raise!) & the food was scrumptious. Our family sat upstairs at the Mudhen & was in perfect proximity to a small bar for friends to surprise them. Bartenders were sweet and made the best drinks I’ve had in years. I refuse to not give 5 stars since it was well deserved HOWEVER- the hostess frankly, SUCKED. She nearly turned the guests of honor away, claiming no reservations were made with a snarky smirk. Patton’s recommendation: find someone more personable who smiles. Overall we had a fantastic experience & will be back soon 🎄🎄

Absolutely amazing food, friendly staff, the atmosphere is really good looking and well decorated. French toast is so damn good, like the best French toast I've ever had in my lifetime. Staff is super friendly, always checking to see if you need anything, and overall amazing service! Highly recommend if you just wanna get some breakfast, and hang out for a bit, maybe even get drinks!

Our wedding at Mudhen was truly a dream come true! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and fun! The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and kind, going above and beyond to make sure every detail was executed perfectly. The team took our vision and transformed the space into the most beautiful venue we could have imagined. Every detail felt intentional and personalized. A special thank you to our lead coordinator, Ply, who was an absolute star. She was responsive, professional, and genuinely made me feel like the most important bride in the world. Her attentiveness to detail and organization made the entire day flow effortlessly. The cleanliness and presentation of the venue were impeccable, and our guests are still raving about the amazing food and drinks. Everything was delicious, beautifully served, and there were never any lines or delays. From start to finish, the flow of the event was flawless. We couldn’t be more grateful to the entire team for helping us create such a meaningful, joyful celebration. If you’re looking for a venue that combines fun, professionalism, and heartfelt service, couldnt recommend Mudhen enough!!!!

MedHen is always a go to on our Wildwood vacations. Peak season they still have space, due to their extended venue, while always keeping quality high. This time we went down for the holiday fun! While the atmosphere and service was top notch, the food this time of year let a little more to be desired when comparing to our other visits. That said it's still one of my favorite venues in Wildwood and a staple of every trip we take.

August 2025 This spot delivers on food and service, though the atmosphere can be hit or miss depending on where you sit. The live music on Saturday afternoon created quite a racket inside, but grabbing a table outside made for a little more pleasant of a dining experience. The kitchen clearly has its act together, as our food arrived in under 10 minutes, which is impressive without sacrificing quality. The brisket salad was a standout, perfectly executed and satisfying. The blackened shrimp tacos hit all the right notes with great seasoning, and the pastrami on rye came with some excellent chips that elevated the whole plate. Service was attentive and friendly throughout our visit, and given the location and quality, the prices were reasonable. Just plan accordingly if you’re sensitive to noise levels, and consider snagging an outdoor table if the weather cooperates.

We come to wildwood/cape May every year and this is the first we tried this place out. We loved it so much we came again the next day!! The bbq mac and cheese is out of this world!! We for this twice! The pumpkin beer with the cinnamon sugar rim was delicious! Beautiful place, great outdoor seating and everyone is so nice and attentive. Will be back again for sure!

Family friendly gastro pub is how I would describe this place. Then menu has a nice variety. We started with the nachos . They were just okay. I don't like potato chips for nachos. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. Burger, Ruben, fish and Cuban sandwiches were thoroughly enjoyed. My only complaint is the sandwiches came with chips not fries. My ribs were fall of the bone and my daughters wings were plump and crispy. Service was good.I would definitely come back if in the area.

This place was great! We enjoyed it so much that we ate here twice on our short visit in town. First time me and my husband came for lunch. I was introduced to "crushes". (I guess they are a thing in New Jersey... or maybe just in that area?) I got an orange one. It was fabulous!! So dang delicious. I asked how it was made and the waitress said that they use fresh squeezed OJ and house made triple sec. I'm certain that made the difference! It was also made with Kettle One Orange vodka. Against my better judgement, I got a second cocktail, and not the same thing. *so sad* I got a blueberry cosmo. It was fine but it wasn't amazing like the Orange Crush. My husband got a steak salad. There was legit a WHOLE steak on there! He enjoyed it a lot. I had a couple of bites and agree it was really good. I got the pulled pork sandwich, that was also tasty. The homemade potato chips were yummy too. The next visit, we took our son around brunch time. We all decided on breakfast that visit. I got another Orange Crush *yum*. We all enjoyed our breakfast. The potatoes that came with my breakfast sandwich were so flavorful! I highly recommend eating here.

Went to MudHen on a busy Saturday night and got lucky finding a parking spot in their second lot. They don't take reservations, but fortunately the place is huge. We were shown to a table upstairs which, for the two of us, was a lot more subdued than the downstairs area. We also had a good view of the football game on their many TVs, and there is a small, quiet bar upstairs. Our server was attentive and friendly. We started with cocktails, a beet and burrata salad, and 3 mini hot chicken sliders. The beet and burrata salad was good with the pesto, burrata, and balsamic combo being the stars of the show. However, I would have loved a few more beets instead of two bigger pieces. The hot chicken sliders with bbq sauce and pickles were also tasty, but the bread seemed more like a dinner bun than a sandwich roll. Additionally, the chicken pieces were quite small and didn't cover the roll. As an entree, we shared the smoked pulled pork platter with slaw, baked beans, and cornbread. The pulled pork was moist and delicious especially alongside the slightly spicy baked beans and was perfect for sharing. I would recommend MudHen especially if you're looking for a fun place to watch a game. You also don't have to be a beer drinker to enjoy the food and atmosphere.

Dish Ordered: Delmonico Steak Visited With: Dinner with friends Service: 10/10 The service was fantastic. Our server, Matt, was very kind, attentive, and great with recommendations. He was genuinely fun to talk to, and every staff member we interacted with was just as nice. Food: 3/10 Steak: 0/10 The steak was honestly bad. The outside was overly salty, but the inside was extremely bland. The texture was rubbery, and once it cooled down it became inedible. It felt more like late-night drunk food than something you'd go out for a real dinner to enjoy. Fries : 10/10 The fries were incredible crispy, lightly salted, and easily the best thing on the table. Corn: 5/10 Very bland. No seasoning at all. Ambiance : 10/10 The restaurant was clean, cozy, and warm perfect for a cold day. The decor was beautiful and the bathroom was spotless. I was truly impressed. Overall: C- This is a really nice spot with amazing staff and a super clean, welcoming environment. Unfortunately, my food was disappointing, and one of my friends had a terrible meal as well. The other two people at the table had better experiences, so maybe some items on the menu are just hit or miss, but I definitely got the short end of the stick this time.

Located in the heart of Wildwood just a short stroll from the boardwalk, MudHen Brewing Company has quickly become a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike. The brewery opened in 2018, when owner Brendan Sciarra transformed a former Harley-Davidson dealership into what is now Wildwood's only full-service brewery and brewpub. MudHen's beer lineup is one of its biggest draws. The brewpub offers a rotating tap list of house-crafted beers that range from easy-drinking session ales to bold, hop-forward IPAs and rich seasonal offerings. Popular pours often include: 1883 IPA - a flagship IPA with floral and citrus notes and a crisp dry finish. MudHen Pils - a smooth, traditional pilsner brewed with German malt and noble hops. Wildwood Haze NEIPA - juicy, tropical-leaning New England IPA. MudHen Brewing Company You'll usually find 10-12 beers on tap at a time, and flights make it easy to sample a variety. In recognition of its craft and community presence, MudHen was named a 2025 Best of Jersey Shore Gold Winner for Best Brewery, a testament to its appeal beyond just Wildwood. While the beer is excellent, MudHen also scores big on food. The menu goes well beyond typical bar fare, offering hearty entrées, smoked barbecue, burgers, and inventive comfort dishes. Among the standout sandwiches is the Cuban -- a satisfying twist on the classic: smoked ham, pulled pork, and Swiss cheese smothered in tangy mayo with sliced sweet pickles on pressed ciabatta bread. SpotOn It's the sort of sandwich that pairs beautifully with a crisp pilsner or a hazy IPA -- salty, savory, and generously portioned. Inside, the brewery feels lively and welcoming, with multiple bars, plenty of seating, and a casual, beach-friendly atmosphere. Outdoor seating, biergarten space, live music, and frequent events make it a crowd-pleaser year-round -- not just in summer. Whether you're stopping in for a flight, settling in for dinner, or grabbing a beer to go, MudHen offers a solid blend of craft beer expertise and laid-back Jersey Shore hospitality. It's easy to see why it's become a favorite with tourists and regulars alike.

Consistently delicious fresh food no matter what season, which is a huge thing in a beach area. Excellent service all year round. They offer a great menu and drinks. Fun indoor and outdoor seating. Always my favorite go to. They offer lots of gluten free options.

came here with some friends one night, it was a much larger place inside than it looked outside with multiple buildings bars and a nice outdoor place with cornhole and some other games to sit and play while you eat and drink. The outside had lots of seating and was well lit with string lights. everyone there was pretty friendly, we were able to get seated pretty quickly even though it was busy and served quickly. they had a lot of food options there, some finger foods and lots of other things you would imagine that you would find at a bar, like pulled pork mac & cheese, quesadillas, burgers and fries. I ended up getting the pulled pork mac & cheese and it was pretty good. The prices were decent. The beer was cold and some of their brewery beers were pretty good all night. It was a good visit.

My girlfriend and I were in Wildwood for a night on a Thursday in August. While we drove by that night, we didn't have time to stop in. We still wanted to try it out so we stopped in right at 11am when it opened on Friday morning and sat in the main dining room at the bar. Even though there was barely anyone there, so the atmosphere was kind of dead, we still had a great experience. The bartender was John who was a a great guy, and fellow high school teacher! We also talked with another man whose name I didn't catch - possibly a head brewer or manager - who offered us a sample of two different beers. We also had two flights between us, and everything we tried was excellent. The food was also incredible. My girlfriend had the BBQ meat lover Mac and cheese ($24), and I had the Cuban sandwich ($17). Both were incredibly flavorful and filling. The place is huge but I'm told it fills up and gets very crowded and noisy. But from what we experienced, the food, beer and service were all top notch, and we would definitely come back.

Another good visit to Mudhen Brewing in Wildwood. We went for dinner the evening before Thanksgiving. It was busy but wasn't too crowded as both Mudhen and The Station House were open (with live music that was good, but too loud) and jumping. They did have specials for both food and beer. My dining companions started out with pork sliders then split a cheesesteak. The spouse also had a cheesesteak. All 3 raved about the sandwiches! I enjoyed an ahi tuna appetizer, then a cup of chili. Both were good. The cornbread was amazing. (Side note - they do offer vegetarian chili.)

I want to give this brewery 5 stars right off the rip because of how kind they were to my dad before we even ordered. He has a tough time getting around later and used a cane. He has a handicapped parking tag also. When he pulled into the parking lot, there was an attendant. All the spots were taken so this man MADE a spot for my dad. He treated my dad with dignity. We get a table and they are benches. The hostess realizes that my dad is going to struggle with this and immediately just puts a heavy duty chair in the end of the table. The server was friendly and kind, especially to my four year old. The place is massive. It was so hot out but everything was covered. It's loud but in a fun way. There are different places to sit based on your preferences. They had a band playing so we opted for outside. It wasn't too loud. The food was delicious. I wish the pretzels came with more beer cheese but that's my only gripe. I'm sure I could have asked for more. MudHen is an incredibly family friendly brewery. I'll be coming back in the future.

5 Stars for MudHen Brewery!!! We Stopped in at MudHen while in Wildwood and was really impressed. The cheesesteaks were excellent and priced right at $9.95, which is a great deal for the quality. The portion was generous, the flavor spot on, and it really hit the spot. Service was just as good -- friendly, attentive, and quick without being rushed. The whole experience had a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and it felt like a place that really takes pride in both the food and the way they treat their customers. Definitely a spot worth returning to when in town. Initially we wished to dine on the water but none of the waterfront eateries were open post Labor day until 4pm!!!!! While not waterfront it does have a touristy vibe!

Great vibe and cool location, AND they have free parking, which is rare in this area! I loved everything except I am sad to report that the food was just ok. We started with a crab and spinach dip and it lacked flavor and the texture was too thick. For my main I got the caprese wedge; I'll be honest, I wish it was just a normal wedge. The textures were good with bacon and crispy onions, but the pesto AND balsamic were too much and frankly out of place.

This place was great! Came in on a Monday night. Place was packed yet we were immediately seated. The joint is HUGE! Not sure how many they can seat, but seems like the largest place in Wildwood. They also had live music. Our server was great! Fast and friendly, started out with their housemate IPAs. Had the fried pickles and onion rings. Pickles were world class. Had a seafood linguini with shrimp, mussels and clams in a marinara sauce. Never had that combination in a red sauce, but it was delicious. Very glad we stopped in. Would not hesitate to return.

This review pains me to write because we really do love coming here. Atmosphere 5 stars! Waitstaff 5 stars! Beer 5 stars! Cocktails 5 stars! Food is disappointing. One star? We are locals and eat here a lot because we absolutely love the vibe both indoor and outside. However, the last few visits have been a major disappointment when it comes to the food. My wife ordered the black and blue steak salad which has been great in the past but this time there was more fat than steak and we ordered it medium and the edible parts were actually raw! Three of us got burgers and they were dry and tasteless and the buns tasted like they were frozen and thawed before serving. The wings were ok. The beer and drinks were excellent as always as was the service but after having an awful food experience 3 out of the last 5 visits we decided to skip the food for now on and just come for drinks.

Four of us split the mussels, pretzels, ahi tuna, and street corn. I got the chipotle salad and cornbread. Service was Michelin star attentive! Food came out fast! Place is huge. I didn't try the mussels but they disappeared quickly. I loved the ahi tuna and would get it again. Corn was crazy good and the biggest surprise. My salad was good but I specifically said I wanted the salmon grilled and it came out blackened. It was very spicy. Next time I would send it back. The waitress offered to fix it but it was getting too late for me. But didn't have time this trip. I liked the cornbread. French fries are a must order! My niece took the peanut butter dessert to go and this was the only dish I would say to skip. Tasted re-refrigerated/frozen more than once. My sister and BIL eat here often and I can see why.

"And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed, but the Lord had mercy And my machine, she's a dud, out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey'' (Bruce Springsteen) Where on earth did that name "Mud Hen" come from? Well, we have to go back into local history where we'd learn that in 1883, the West Jersey Railroad carried thirsty passengers from the Cape May Court House to a pub in Wildwood over dilapidated decrepit tracks through marshy wetlands. The tracks washed out so often that the train was nicknamed "the Mudhen". Fast forward to April 2018 when an old Harley Davidson dealership was reborn as the massive Mudhen Brewing Company. The multi-building complex has so many options for you and your group to enjoy a beer and some great food. You can enjoy their 8 to 12 rotating craft beers on tap in their spacious two-story dining room and lounge, outdoor Bar, Biergarten and Patio, and separate structures for private events known as the New Garage Room and Station House. Our party of twenty-one was seated in the New Garage Room. We shared that room with a big group of high school cheerleaders who entertained us with dance routines and cheer practice throughout the evening. I started off the evening with a Mudhen Pilsner (ABV:4.8 %) that was light and very drinkable. Mudhen has over twenty appetizers to kick off your meal. I went with a cup of their Soup of the Day which was Italian Wedding (cup $7). I enjoyed it a lot, it was loaded with meatballs and was piping hot. I counted 24 appetizers on their menu, and I sampled three of them that my table mates ordered. MOM'S PICKLES ($14) "golden-fried, tempura battered pickle spears with Cajun breadcrumbs served with chipotle mayo sauce" were excellent and spicy, the SOUTHERN FRIED OYSTERS - ($12) were served with cherry peppers, blistered cherry tomatoes, spicy ketchup, citrus zest and a pickled veggie tartar, and the BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES ($14.50) were beer battered cauliflower tossed in classic buffalo sauce over iceberg lettuce with a side of bleu cheese dressing. My order of preferences were the cauliflower, pickles, and oysters (which I thought were mushy and not very tasty). My dinner was their Chipotle Salmon Salad ($23) with spring mix, roasted sweet corn, avocado, chopped red onion, fresh strawberry, black beans, queso fresco w/ cilantro vinaigrette dressing & topped w/ chipotle grilled salmon. It was extraordinarily delicious. The salmon was a big portion that was moist, juicy, and perfectly cooked. I loved it. My wife ordered a Hen House Salad ($12) with an added six grilled shrimp ($8). The salad was spring mix, romaine, cucumbers, carrots, red onions, cherry tomatoes & crostini served with a side of balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The shrimp were pretty large, and she enjoyed her dinner. Now, as I said, we had a group of twenty-one, and the cheerleaders must have had 12-15 in their group, and another table full of parents. All of us pretty much ordered their food at the same time. This review would not be complete without offering high praise to the Mudhen kitchen and our server Amber. The food for the 45 or so of us in the New Garage Room came out fast, I mean really fast. And Amber was incredible, with a 1,000-watt personality who cheerfully handled every little question and issue that came up. She was a true professional and was great fun to interact with. Well done Mudhen! And well done, Amber.

Being fair with this review because I didn't love this place as much as everyone else seems to. I love their sister restaurant Dogtooth, so I was surprised. Good: massive space, extremely clean and minimal wait times for a table. The menu is large with something for everyone. Staff is very friendly. Fried pickles are delicious. My son's pulled pork and husband's cheesesteak were huge and everything came out blazing hot. Needs work: our drink order was messed up twice. I ordered a watermelon crush and was given an orange crush, waitress tried again but then served me grapefruit which I am allergic to. I gave up on the bar after that and stuck to water. The crab chowder which I was most excited for had no crab in it. The mahi tacos actually were good but the lime sauce on them I was not a fan of. The bathroom needs to be bigger, 3 stalls for this big of a place is ridiculous. I would maybe be willing to come back but very hesitant about the bar service after my experience.

We always have a good time at this restaurant when visiting the South Jersey Shore. This place is huge and always busy. The staff is friendly and the most recent time we were there our server was sooooo good. She was slammed w/customers yet she was attentive to all our requests. She was so friendly and made our experience even better. Upper management should realize more how great their servers are to the customers.

An absolutely massive establishment and brewery right in Wildwood, NJ! They can accommodate parties of all sizes and there are plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options, which worked well for our large party of 8. Highly recommend trying a flight of their beer for only $12 to get 4 different beers to try and everything on their menu looked delicious. Our server, Danielle M. was also incredible and attentive and knowledgeable. We appreciated her informing us that the food can come out at separate times due to the several kitchens they have in their establishment. She recommended dishes and drinks and as out-of-towners, I love a local's perspective. Danielle made our group's experience wonderful and we look forward to coming back and trying some more beers and some more food options!

I was blown away by the service, food, beer, and overall atmosphere here. The place had live music on a summer Thursday night and even though it was packed, we got sat right away. Our server Corina was super nice and her service was top notch. Each beer we tried was good and special shoutout to their new brew Fruittie Patutie: I usually don't like beer but this was a beer I would happily drink again. We started with the brussel sprouts appetizer and although it was really good, I wasn't expecting it to be hot and very soupy so I'd avoid getting that in the summer. I had the fish and chips and they were pretty good and had very thick fish in them. My husband had the mahi tacos and he enjoyed those as well. Our experience was pretty good for a busy summer night.

I live in Florida, and I'd been trying to get here the last two times I was in town. Third time was a charm! With it being so cold outside, the hot chocolate bar was right on time while we waited for our table to be ready. It could have been served a bit hotter, but still tasted good. I tried one of my brother's southern fried oysters, and it was delicious! I might get an order of my own next time. I ordered the cheese steak, and I was shocked at how flavorful the mushrooms were. Usually I feel mushrooms, but I don't taste them. Not the case here. These mushrooms had an aromatic umami that enriched the flavor. I would add those mushrooms to any number of items from the menu. I'm looking forward to my next visit here.

On our daytrip to Cape May this past Sunday,we wanted to try a new brewery that's pet friendly-and were pleasantly surprised to find out they offer a wide selection of meals as well (their menu takes a while to go through,haha). Huge beer garden,numerous restrooms,super friendly staff,good selection of food complementing the beer. Though we heard good reviews of their burgers,we weren't particularly impressed. But the beer is so good! We tried a couple of their IPAs and even bought a variety pack to go. Whilst I can't recommend this place for food,would definitely come back for the beer,ambiance and service,which were all top notch!

We came for the burgers--and they did not disappoint. I had the Uncle George, not realizing it came with two patties! Definitely more than I bargained for, but very good. The burger was juicy without being messy, which I really appreciated. That said, the drink prices were on the high side, and it was surprisingly loud inside--even with the band playing outside and farther away. That knocked the experience down a notch for me, so I'm giving it a solid 4 stars.

We had the Sunday $4 beer choices Holly Beach Wheat, MudHen Original, MudHen Pilsner and Capt Doug's Porter. Dessert was Wise Hens Bock sample. All were fantastic beers. The soup of the day Chicken Tortellini was fantastic. It was so great it is something to cluck about.! Danielle we will be back! See you Thursday.

Mature lively vibe, when I was there they had live music and staff was dressed up for Oktoberfest.. the service was so n par and accurate. I had a cheeseburger I'd say it was above average same for the fries. I would definitely recommend this place

This is the first time going to the Mudhen this summer so I was able to see all of the additions! There is so much more seating outside and an entirely new building that is beautiful. The service was fast and everything came out fairly quickly! The drinks were great and decently priced. I always appreciate a brewery with additional cocktails. The appetizers were yummy but the brussel sprouts were different (vinegar based) which were okay but I wouldn't get again. There's always live music or something going on! A great time!

Just another tourist trap. Overpriced basic food. I was excited that they had grilled oysters on the menu because not a lot of places do. They came out in like 5 mins but the cheese on top looked like it was barely melted so I put my finger in it and sure enough they were cold. We sent them back and got a new batch. The new ones were much hotter but they seemed more like they were baked, rather than grilled and I found the cheese and sauce overpowered the oysters. For my entree I got the Mudhen burger. I was hoping for a nice fresh handpacked patty. What I got was a perfectly round preformed disc that looked like it came from the freezer. At least they cooked it the temp that I ordered. The highlight of the meal was the "psoriasis" fries.

I've been to mudhen multiple times now and enjoy it every time. This last visit really knocked it out of the park with their BBQ twos a feast platter. The ribs fell right off the bone, the brisket was juicy, pulled pork outstanding & the hot dogs were top tier. The platter also came with slaw, baked beans and cornbread. We decided that wasn't enough apparently and got the hot wings as an appetizer, they were decent. To tie it all together we HAD to get the Mac and cheese. It never fails with the baked top & gooey insides. We had enough left overs for the next day. The atmosphere has grew since they opened. They have a beautiful patio with live music, picnic vibes & some family friendly games. The service is always outstanding. They have so many people working there that someone is always on top of it when it comes to taking food and drink orders & bussing the tables.

Mud Hen's Smash burger was excellent. The $9.95 lunch specials included soups, paninis and salads! The beer was the star of the show. IPAs were top notch, the seasonal Nummy Pumpkin was just yummy and the Scotch Ale was reminiscent of the Highlands! Our server, Anastasia, was very attentive. The only downside was that there was a cold draft (not in my glass) because multiple doors were left open to the October winds.

Great draft beer, fun menu, beautiful space inside, and nicely crafted cocktails. Slightly pricey...but worth it. I love that it's open year round too.

We arrived early on a Saturday evening 4:45 and were able to get a table for 11. We sat inside but plenty of tables inside and out We were served within 5 minutes! I had the pretzel sticks as an appetizer and would have appreciated a plain cheddar cheese to dip in or a honey mustard. 2 of the 3 dips were not my favorite. One had horseradish in it and the other was wasabi and so so hot !! For dinner I had a Caesar salad as I was looking for something light My watermelon crush cocktail was delicious! And everyone else seemed to enjoy all their meals

We visited wildwood and this place was very close to where we stayed .. a brewery but it's more than a brewary... looked at google reviews and visited this place. Service could be better. We asked for some samples of IPAs and it took them forever.. we then just walked by the bar and tasted the IPAs ourselves . Hazy IPAs are really good here . They also have tons of food options but we saw very less options for vegetarians . Chicken wings was reallyyyyyyyy good . It was just perfect with beer . Wings was kinda crispy and tasted awesome . Veggie dish was ok. Lots of parking outside . A little pricey I would say , but for the ambience it was ok. 4 stars

This place is a must try. The menu is huge and they make their own beer. Parking is minimal. It's a small lot next to the establishment. Our waitress was great! She went above and beyond. The beef brisket,pulled pork cup of chili was outstanding. I'm picky. I should've gotten the bowl for $2 more. Their potato chip nachos were good. I loved their fresh wheat pretzels. They came with melted cheese,horseradish mustard (they call it spicy mustard but it's horseradish) it'll clean out your sinuses and also a chipotle sauce. Overall the food was pretty good. Definitely going to go back. As far as drinks we had a jalapeño margarita and two craft beers. The jalapeño margarita was delicious. It came with a salted rim but I'd skip it next time. I also had the Wildwood Haze NEIPA. So good! As I mentioned before the menu is HUUUGE! Check this place out. Oh yeah if you have kids they'll have a good time here too. They have games in the back outside area. Tons of seating areas inside and out.

What a great atmosphere! I love all the indoor/outdoor options. There was an area where live music was happening, which is awesome. The staff was kind, but the service was slow at times. However, our server was super busy. Food came out quick, drinks took a little longer. The food was okay. We got oysters and they were fairly small. The nachos could have been done better by layering. I really enjoyed my sour beer and appreciate a place having them. I thought things were reasonably priced for the portions.

I don't normally update reviews but it's called for here. I was really favorably impressed by the way they handled a service glitch. My wife's dish came out cold. Not only did they uncomplainingly reheat or give her a new dish, they took her margarita off the check and were pleasant about it all. That's how you handle things. I still remember an experience I had in a restaurant in PA which I'd been to and liked and got absolutely abysmal service and the manager came over and did absolutely nothing. I followed up with a revised one star review. I should add , I'm not someone who usually makes a big deal out of service.

Great drinks, drinks and entertainment! We found this place in Wildwood when we got tired of the boardwalk. Quick walk from our hotel and great casual environment.

Great food and beer and the crowd shows! Really nice spot near cape may - my family stopped in here while on vacation. Luckily they were able to accommodate the 10 of us with no issues as we showed up a bit early. They serve American traditional food - salads, sandwiches and burgers. I got a spicy chicken sandwich and the hot skillet of Mac & Cheese, both were fantastic. The have a wild variety of beers to choose from and the few i saw looked and tasted great. This place is BUSY! Be prepared to wait for a table possibly, in the summer months this place is packed almost every night for dinner. Great spot though, I'd recommend

1st time customer and certainly will come again. Food was fresh and tasty. Great, clean atmosphere. Service was very good. Recommended to give it a try if you're in the area. We had: Ahi tuna, wings, signature burger, some cocktails and desert. All excellent and worth the price.

We LOVE the outdoor ambience at Mudhen in the summer--it was 78 degrees outside tonight and it was perfect. The live music is great too--not too loud! The service was outstanding--constant check-ins, plate removal, drink refills, top notch! But, the food is just fine, nothing special. The crab dip was $20-but it's small with very little crab! $16 for what equates to one Auntie Anne soft pretzel? The food isn't as good as the ambience and the service are

The smash burger here is AMAZING. The cheesesteak could use some whiz but it is still really good. The space is also massive so if you have kids, it's perfect.

Always a stop when we are in Wildwood. The food, service and atmosphere never disappoints. After a long day on the beach we love the laidback feeling of Mudhen. It was restaurant week and my hungry teenage boys take advantage of the 3 course meal. They ate every bite because a nice steak is always their fav. One got the pierogies and the other got the chicken sliders as their apps. Followed by a T-bone steak and ice cream to finish it up. We will be back soon!

Every time I visit Wildwood, I stop at Mudhen This is a must the food never disappoints. I came for lunch today and I had the brisket which was absolutely amazing, the cornbread was moist and flavorful and the crab mac & cheese exceeded my expectations. We also ordered the street corn, which was packed with bold and delicious flavors. I always enjoy my visit here. The consistent quality and great atmosphere makes it a spot I highly recommend. If you're in Wildwood this place should be at the top of your list.

Honestly, we didn't even get the chance to eat there. We had hoped to sit outside--just the two of us--near the music and TV. Instead, they seated us all the way in the back corner of the property, in a separate open building far from the atmosphere we came for. When we asked to be moved, two hostesses told us they couldn't, just in case it got busy. But it was 4:30 in the afternoon--the place was practically empty, as was the parking lot. We would've been gone well before any kind of crowd showed up. They were surprisingly rude about the whole thing. When we asked again, they moved us to an awkward spot right outside the building--between where we were and the brunch place next door. Meanwhile, there were a handful of people sitting exactly where we originally wanted to sit, and at least 20 open tables in that area. More than a dozen servers were just standing around, clearly disorganized. The hostesses huffed at us and said, "Then just eat inside." So instead, we left. They lost our business, and we ended up enjoying a great time at the Surfin Pig by the bay with live music--exactly the vibe we were looking for.

This place is massive. Huge outdoor dinning with heaters that make it comfortable in the off season. The food is out of this world and the drinks are on point. This is a can't miss if you are in the wildwood area!!! They were very accommodating when we asked them to turn down the heat.

To start brisket nachos were an interesting take because they made them from their homemade potato chips. I like that touch. However, it was an $8.50 up charge to add brisket to the $18 nachos and upon arrival, just a few chunks of brisket. Boo! For the main meal, my wife's dry burger arrived and when she was done eating my fish and chips arrived. Despite repeated attempts from the wait staff to get them. (She was a nice server). We were told because there are two kitchens the food came out at different times - shouldn't be 20 minutes in that difference. Then I forced down a few bites of my fish and chips. I couldn't proceed any further, they were hard and dried out. Even the FROZEN cocktail sauce didn't help. They did remove the item from the bill and took 10% off our final bill - so that's appreciated. We don't drink so I can't comment on the brewery aspect. Overall, I rate this a 1 star - it's an overpriced tourist trap.
