Pleasantly surprised. Other reviews seemed harsh so I gave it a try. The food is basic but hot and crispy (meats, waffles etc). The scrambled eggs alittle dry but cheese made it better. All in all a great breakfast for the price More

If you want to go out for dinner this is perfect for you and your family because you can eat lot of food for just 21 dollars which is really decent amount of money since you will probably spend this amount in any other restaurant. Food was fresh and it is really acceptable!!!

2 adults and 1 toddler was $42. The food is homemade but very mediocre. Taste overall is sugar and carbs. No veggies, no fruits.
Long line. OK for a one time visit. More

Excellent food! The staff was so nice and helpful! Very busy but still able to move around and get food! Different variety of foods available too. Family friendly and they seem to be family owned too. Slightly overpriced imo but it was worth it bc it's all you can eat! We got our money's worth! More

Genuinely Great Place for a Family Dinner and you can't beat the Price anywhere else either. Good selection of food for breakfast and Dinner. 95% of everything we tried was delicious from soups to salads to the array of hot foods and the chocolate cake is delicious! Definitely look forward to eating here when we are in the area during the season. The place is outdated but we dont mind. As long as its clean and the food is good that's what matters! Definitely recommend. BUT.....get there early because it does get busy!

Service was good, it was very cool inside which is great on a hot,sunny day!! Very clean !! Prices are great ($66 & some change for 2 adults and 1 child) for dinner.
There was a nice variety of food but to be honest some of it lacked seasoning real bad !! Some was pretty good !
I'd go back.

Great family owned restaurant. Mother and father have to be mid 80s. Son and his wife run it mainly now, but parents still are working also. Great people! Great food. Cant beat this place if you want to fill up on a variety of delicious food !! Note: i didn't mark any seafood choices below because i do not eat seafood ! But they have a lot of seafood choices. Just not my thing 😁

The only buffet in wildwood nj and it has super good food. There is so much to choose from with a wrap around massive display of food ready to be picked up and eaten. They are open breakfast and dinner hours. Plenty of seating and free parking as well. This is a family run restaurant so they know how to cook! More

You have to ask for toast! Always wanted to eat here, check it off the bucket list. Average American breakfast. Food was good, how they cooked the scrapple was the standout. You will get your fill and the food is hot and ready. The cornbread was really good and I’m not a cornbread man. Staff was friendly and attentive. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend.

We had a breakfast 🥞 buffet . The board says that “all you can eat” . They have veg and non veg both options. I like to suggest if they can have fruit items too.
My overall experience was great.
You can also order the other dish and items outside the buffet.

All you can eat break buffet located right behind the Beach Terrace Motel and nearby to the Bolero. It was a busy Sunday morning and the waitress was pretty good. They require you to wear disposable plastic gloves when getting food from the buffet. They serve 3 kinds of eggs, pancakes, French toast, Belgian waffle squares and a few varieties of meat. The bacon was a little greasy and stuck together. The fruit toppings were plentiful and fresh. My favorite was the apples on the Belgian waffle. When you get the creamed chipped beef, the waitress will bring you fresh toast either white or wheat. Cheap meal for as much as you want.

We have been coming here for years. This is a wonderful family run business with everything homemade. The quality and the selection cannot be beat! Our favorites, crabcakes, garlic mussels, homemade soups, bbq wings, mashed potatoes, homemade spaghetti sauce, ravioli, meatballs, and an excellent salad bar. The owners are great people and keep the restaurant spotless and the food fresh! Highly recommend coming here for breakfast or dinner. Always consistently excellent!!! I added pics from our visit tonight. Home made lentil soup that was delicious. A crab cake salad with all the fixings- my personal favorite! A chicken parm with their amazing homemade Italian gravy!! Wow that is good! Our overall favorite homemade soup, their homemade tomato soup loaded with crackers! You will never eat Campbells again!! Enjoy!!
