Burger and fries
LaToya B.

The food was absolutely delicious. I had the Nashville chicken sandwich that was recommended by our waitress, best decision ever my daughter had one of their burgers and she demolished it. The service was great. The food came out quickly and fresh. Would definitely recommend.

If you love the 1950s era and the music (and decent diner food), this IS ABSOLUTELY your spot. Doo Wop Diner brings diners back to the days of the Doo Wop Era not only with its interior design, but also the music blaring from its sound systems. You'll feel like you've transported back to the future like Marty McFly, except you won't need a DeLorean for this. This diner is nooooo gimmick as the food is surprisingly pretty good here. Like any diner, they've got a variety of different selections that'll make your head spin and make you wish you can order everything. They've got your breakfast items - omelettes, sandwiches, pancakes and French toasts. They've got your lunch/dinner faves like 1/4 lb foot long hot dogs, half lb burgers, sandwiches, wrapes and, of course, milkshakes and malts. On our visit here, my wife ordered the Doo Wop Burger and I went with the Road Runner Dog. For the kids, we ordered the Baby Bopper Dog and Fish and Chips. Like I said, all of the food was surprisingly pretty good. We've had bad experiences with beach boardwalk food in the past, but Doo Wop Diner really exceeded our expectations as we knew we were taking a chance when we walked in. The highlight for me though was actually the addictive crinkle cut fries that was served with all of our meals. They were probably frozen, but I absolutely couldn't stop eating them because they were just so perfectly crispy and crunchy - dare I say even better than Shake Shack's fries????? To wash down our meals, I also ordered the Strawberry Banana Shake, which was a real deal ice cream shake and quite refreshing - just ask my kids. If you're walking north on the boardwalk from the Convention Center, chances are you'll easily run into the Doo Wop Diner. At first, you'll think it was just another gimmicky restaurant on the boardwalk, but you'll quickly find out that they probably serve some of the better food on the Wildwood Boardwalk, so fill up here.

Burgers and 50's fan fair is what you will find here along with lots of other goodies as there's something for everyone even those who want an eating challenge! Coming here was kinda like heyyy there's a place we can get out of the boardwalk sun and away from the tram car for a minute let's go sit and get some food and that's exactly what we did! They have your standard you'd find at a place like this burgers malts fries fried goodies and all that in between so it's just pick your poison at that point! For me it was all about the burger that had the fried pickles on it as that's like one of my favorite things along with it came the fries which were good too and let me say it was definitely yummy and totally just hit the spot for this given day of adventure. My friend Eric from Pride Coaster Club got the burger challenge and wow this thing was a tower of burger goodness along with those fries makes for like 5 meals for me lol! He seemed to enjoy it for the most part. Our service was awesome and everyone was very friendly and this was an awesome little spot to get some classic boardwalk food. Overall who knows when or if I'll ever get back here again but it definitely was what's good for this given day of boardwalk adventure!

Another delicious lunch. Fish tacos were great, salad was very fresh and delicious, hotdog was amazing!

Of course a neon sign.

Doors were wide open but still felt nice and cool. It is a very large menu with plenty of food choices for everyone. We were seated right away, and service was quick. They weren't really busy, and the food came out within 15 minutes. It is decorated like a old soda shop with plenty of nostalgia on the walls. The food wasn't bad actually the burgers were really good and juicy.cooked perfectly. I'd eat there again. Average sandwiches are around $14.

This place is such a gem! Located centrally on the boardwalk, they can accommodate large groups. They are very efficient, & maintain quality. Their burgers are amazing!! The bread was phenomenal, as were the fries. The burger itself was decent + they have a fun variety. I would recommend!!

Literally the worst possible experience I've had in a restaurant in a long time. I've worked in the…read moreindustry for quite some years and this was absolutely horrible. The service is shit! 1000/10 do not recommend. We had reached out ahead if time to ask if there'd be room for a decent size group on a Tuesday to watch a championship game. They had that on one tv then on the other tvs were highlights and then a regular season baseball game. We got there had, to ask numerous times to put the game on the tv where we were sitting. Then a smaller group who was there for the baseball game ended up asking the bartender to change the game sound to the baseball game. Which we were confused because we were told that we would be good had we asked the bartenders and the MOD was aware. Well that wasn't the case. Now for the food.... Well there's a few different things that were missing or just unacceptable. I had ordered wings which when ordering asked some clarifying question and even asked to sample the sauce to see if I could handle it. I got the sauce. Tried it and it was bearable that I could eat them with ranch/ blue cheese and handle it. Well when the food came out. They didn't even taste the same. They were dry and not very saucy and they tasted like they just had hot sauce on it. I even asked someone who likes hot sauces to taste both the sample of the sauce as well as the wing and he immediately said there was a difference. On top of that, they forgot sauce on one cheesesteak and a side of sauce for someone else's fries that was requested... When the server(bartender) came back after awhile I had said that I couldn't eat the wings as they were too spicy and had requested if I could get the truffle Parmesan INSTEAD. when I went to hand the plate back as I did not want to eat the wings. He had asked me if I wanted a box for them. I said well I can't eat them they're too spicy. And he again said I can get you a box and I said I mean I won't eat them though and again mentioned the box and I said I mean i guess but I can't eat them. I asked for the replacement because I could not eat them. And I was fully prepared to give them back to be replaced. I also stated to get the other wings boxed up. We immediately also asked for checks as we were already not happy with the situation ongoing. When I received my check it showed that I was getting charged for 2 orders of wings and not just one. I did not want two orders of wings. I wanted one order that I would be able to eat because I couldn't eat the initial order that was served to me. When he came back to grab checks I explained that I wanted the other wings to replace the wings I was served which was why I didn't want the box. The man looked at me like I was speaking a different fucking language. Then when I proceeded to ask him to just cancel the 2nd order of wings and fix my check to reflect such, he questioned it like he was stunned that I even bothered asking. And to top it all off, as we were leaving they smirked and laughed like it was funny that we had a bad experience. I have worked all of my life in customer service type positions whether that be serving, bartending or other services and honestly it was actually sad that we come there for the first time and it is fully going to be the last as well. Do better.

They have so many options and delicious combinations on the menu that it was difficult to commit to just one. I settled on the California which was warm lobster with drawn butter topped with wasabi-avocado-cucumber aioli sauce. It was loaded with melt in your mouth fresh giant chunks of lobster meat. It also came with a generous side of delicious tater tots, homemade coleslaw, and street corn which was nice and spicy too. While I was waiting they handed me a complementary homemade lobster bisque also loaded with lobster meat. It was fantastic. I took everything to go and enjoyed it on the beach....perfect. I can't wait to go back again next weekend and try another.

Just because it has a big selection doesn't mean that its the best! I tried this place on our most…read morerecent WW trip. There are 3 places that sever lobster rolls in the vicinity. This is the second best! It is also the second most expensive. It does come with a side of tots, but I can do with out that. Staff is very friendly! As soon as you look their direction and look like you are walking towards them, they greet you. Which is pretty nice! I went with the Connecticut, because I love butter lol! I also added more meat! It was pretty good, no complaints on the size. The lobster was... ok? It was like they cleaned it earlier that morning, stuck the meat in the fridge, tossed it on the grill to warm it up, but the inside was cold and the outside was warm and dry. It could be that I just had a bad experience! My biggest issue is the lobster shells that I had in my lobster... so disappointing! I took pictures, but Yelp keeps removing them... I guess the owner pays them to keep taking down negative pictures? All in all, if you want lobster, go to Quincys 500 feet north of there next to ripleys... It is ok here, just watch out for the shells!
