It is everything you might want and expect in a great diner. Simple and tasty food from varied menu. Fast - really fast - and friendly service. Excellent prices ( especially compared to eateries along the shore). Diner atmosphere with a nice aviation theme - it is at an airport. We’ll be back for sure.

Always stop down at Douglass Fudge every time down in Wildwood. I am babying my chocolate covered pretzels until they can ship them to me in the cooler months! Nothing is better than enjoying a chocolate treat on the boardwalk. Prices can be a little high, but it's worth the taste!

Love this cute little Do Wop shop. We have made this a yearly stop when we are in town.
Breakfast is always amazing from omelettes to stuffed French toast to cheese steak and egg sandwiches. Prices are more then reasonable too for the large amount of food you get and kids breakfast are only $3.50.

The seafood we use is the freshest and locally caught. We offer mako, swordfish, flounder, and scallops when in season, from our local fishermen. We use only jumbo lump crabmeat. Saturday night our prime rib is certified black angus. All soups are made from scratch with fresh vegetables. Friday and Saturday we have live entertainment with special drinks at our front porch bar.

Main course with the Maine tail was remarkable it was done perfect. love it with the desert very good.
10. Rick's Seafood House

Reviewed By EastCoastBrony - Henrico, Virginia
Rick's Seafood House is less of a restaurant, and more of a small seafood market. This place is off of the main strip, and has no indoor seating, it is quite hot inside as well.
The place is mainly a seafood market, however they also sell hot food. I had the Scallops, and a Crab Chowder type soup, and took it back to the hotel. The crab soup was amazing, and the Scallops were great as well. The food is made to order so expect a wait (I waited 45 minutes) but well worth it.
Tip: Be sure to have something else to do whilst they are fixing your food.
