Patrice deserves 5 stars for recognizing that our waitress was not in suitable condition to provide any service. She realized that our food and drink order had never gotten to the kitchen and our server was MIA. There's more to add but it's so comically bad that it sounds untrue. I used to really like this place, but our experience was so terrible all around that there's no way we'd ever make this mistake again. We are still discussing it in disbelief. read more

Pompeos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Had breakfast yesterday while on the boardwalk and it was filling, tasty and enjoyable. Won't give 5 stars because I didn't feel the regular cup of coffee is worth 4.50 each. It was just OK. All else was very good and enjoyable. I will definitely return. read more

See all

Friday 830a breakfast on our first morning of a beach weekend. A newish place and our first time here. Folks we are staying with suggested we give it try. The place is bright and cheery and there is a Lavazza coffee bar at the back. Very nice with plenty of servers/staff on hand. No problems hiring for this place. Extensive breakfast menu with all the typical choices plus some Specials named after various family members. Our server Barry was very good. We placed our orders and they came timely. I stuck with my old standby - two sunny side up eggs, four strips of bacon prepared nuclear, whole wheat toast with butter and hash browns. It was excellent and precisely as ordered. Others got various dishes and all were pleased. All in ~$100. for four. On the high end but not exorbitant for a beachfront meal on the boardwalk. Coffee was $4.50 each but with endless refills. We had many. A good spot for breakfast. Recommend a stop and we would return. Mark & Nancy. read more

This place is awful. We were charged 112.00 for breakfast for 4 ppl. 2 adults and 2 kids. The prices on the bill didn't match the menu. The manager told me it says on the menu that prices subject to change. They also add a credit card fee automatically on every bill even though you are paying cash. This place is empty all of the time. The prior owners ran a good clean business and were very successful. This place will be up for sale very soon. read more

Right on the wildwood boardwalk. Easy parking. Nice service. Quality has been missing over the years, but the french toast was good, prefer the bacon to be a little more well done read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Food way overpriced and terrible service! My husband ordered clams and linguini, over 1/2 of the clams were shut, and the ones that were open were like rubber. Manager was rude, took away clams and then when we complained that they were closed, she said that they were already in trash and we couldn't prove it. I would never go there again!!! read more

We went for breakfast on our first day before check in time. Seated right away in a nice corner table with view of the boardwalk and beach. Coffee was Lavazza. - very good but cup was on the small side. Belgian Waffle was perfect, except had to ask for butter - which was whipped and delicious. Omelettes, potatoes and toast all delicious. Service was good. Upcharge for extras in omelettes. A little pricey, but service was good and nice place to go for breakfast at the shore. read more

Went for breakfast i got the asparagus and lump crab omelette it was cooked to perfection, as most of you are aware most omelettes are cooked wrong burned on the outside snotty on the inside, but not this one ! Not burnt at all, inside perfect! My advice to people is ask your server " are your omelettes cooked on the grille or a pan" if grille is the answer, take a pass! Thats it ps be kind to one and other! read more

Pompeos - a plate of fruit and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Food is on point. French toast is Fluffy, delicious. Coffee is the best diner coffee I've ever had. Prices are fair for resort town. Sundays they have a DJ from 9:00am -12PM. I will go every Sunday I'm down because of the DJ. He plays oldies, Sinatra, a couple weeks ago he was in an old school R&B Groove. Unfortunately on my last visit, two grandparents with grandkids came in and crushed the vibe- asked mgmt to turn the music down. (Wasn't even too loud) I'll be there to spend $10-15 for eggs/omelettes every Sunday if DJ is there. Service is on point. Owner did a great job post Covid staffing. Amanda the manager couldn't be friendlier or more attentive. Met her twice now. Pompeos, please don't one old customer come in and crush the vibe you've created. read more

4 adults - one French toast and bacon, one short stack with bacon, one Greek omelet with home fries. One order of 2 eggs, home fries and toast $12.95 alone with a miniature side of poor quality corned beef hash $7.00. So we're talking $20 for this one low quality diner breakfast. Total bill $88.89 before tip. Also coffee is $4.50 a person. Waitress was super pleasant, but the owner's only interest appears to be money. It will catch up with him. They did not even have jelly on the table for toast. Had to ask for butter with the pancakes and French toast because they were not provided these items when served. How cheap can you be. I recommend you go to another breakfast spot for much better food and more reasonable prices. This place is now history in our book. It was really good a few years ago but under the new management it's poor. Now I know why the place, which was crowded in past years, was nearly empty. read more

Overpriced, no air conditioning and it took forever to get your breakfast. Someone needs to manage this place.

What an experience giving them 2 stars cause I love LaVassa coffee lol We were sat really fast and ordered right away. I'm pretty sure our server forgot about us. People were getting their food before us that were sat after us, and she didn't check in with us and wasn't even near our section so don't know if she picked up our table and then forgot? I got my veggie omelette that said it had mushrooms tomatoes peppers and onions. I got an omelette with spinach mushrooms and tomatoes. After waiting that long I wasn't going to say anything and wait even longer for an omelette without spinach. But the best part was when the old lady at the register. She was so rude it was hilarious. We asked if we could split the bill by what we had. I only asked because usually if it's someone's sole job to check people out they can do it no problem. I just figured I'd ask. Big mistake She got real snappy at me saying she can split it 50/50 or it has to be all together. I handed her my card no problem. Then she decides to continue to tell me how I really should have asked my server before we ordered and because I didn't it was my fault. Like lady it's not that deep. I was just like um okay and I apologized to her We walked out just like ... um what just happened read more

What a pleasant surprise finding Pompeos was! The positive reviews about service and food were all entirely accurate -- our group of 8 was well-taken care of by Lucia. Everything was delicious and came out quickly. Would definitely recommend! read more

The food and service was great however they charged us $3 more on our breakfast selection then what the menu stated and put a $2.50 credit charge fee on our bill even though we were paying cash. When I questioned the additional menu charge the owner seemed to not care and told me prices are subject to change. I think that could have been stated prior to ordering. Also when I asked about the credit card fee and the fact I was paying cash, he raised his voice and said " I was going to take that off" . Breakfast for two cost us close to $50. The food was good but not good. My suggestion is to ask questions before ordering and pay attention to your final bill. read more

Pompeos needs to stick to breakfast. Went to dinner last night and had the absolute worst service and food ever. I understand that lack of staffing is an issue but then do not open If you can not serve. We had poor service or rather no service at first and even others were leaving. Having dirty dishes was unacceptable. I don't mind waiting for food if it is made to order but the seven fishes special was not. It was all fried and not freshly made at all. Sandy mussels and flounder fishy. And to add there were no scallops as advertised and yet price remained the same I have never ever experienced anything in a food establishment before. I rarely ever write bad reviews but this took the cake. read more

We dine here every year it's a family tradition pop uses our favorite place in Wildwood much better than any other place on the boardwalk. They serve quality food and reasonably priced. Then you owners opened in 2020 and really did a lot to the place we recommend coming here. read more

Great service & excellent food ! After reading some of these reviews I'm wondering if we are talking about the same place. The owner was extremely personable and greeted each of the customers with a smile. You can tell this is a family establishment, I will make this a stop every year. read more

Awesome view of the boardwalk and beach from our table. Breakfast was perfectly cooked down to the toast. Classic Wildwood experience!

We went here for breakfast with my teo daughters. This was during the 1 1/2 day power outage. Pompeo was offering breakfast. When we asked details about the breakfast she said flat rate of $10/ person buffet style. We agreed to eat here and put food on our plates. When my daughter went back for 2 pieces of french toast, she was denied. I asked the girl what was the issue,she said she failed to mention it was one time serving at buffet. I said that was something she should have specified. My daughters and I barely had food on my place anticipating going back up . We all left hungry. When I called the next day, i spoke to manager John. John started to call me a punk and advised me to come back to restaurant to fight. Yes, this really happened. I never even got to explain to him the reason for my call, he was screaming all kinds of mean words. I honestly could not believe the unprofessionalism. To be representing a company and speaking to customers in this manner? He even told me to go ahead and to write this review. Here it is John. Many of places on the boardwalk to eat ,don't make Pompeos one of them. You have been informed. Update: Its been over 3 weeks . The Better Business bureau is still waiting for your response read more

5 Adults and 4 Kids for breakfast. Plain omelettes are $9.95 but everything else in it, is $2.00 for each add-on for a grand total of $19.95 for a lousy omelette. Just wondering how much do eggs cost? No breakfast specials in this place, even the kids meals did not include the drinks. Food was not great for the price. Total bill was $200.43 without the tip. They even charged a fee of $9.91 for using a charge card. Service was good, not the waitresses fault. read more

You don't seem any places like this around anymore old fashion service with good old fashion food made from scratch most places on the boardwalk are pre made it Survive from the freezer you can really taste the difference here and the level of service they give is impeccable I'm so glad pompeos is still around read more

Great breakfast! The French toast was the best I have had in a long time. The view of the ocean is a bonus. I wish I took a picture of the before but here is the after... read more

Pompeos - After breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

the previous owners did an amazing job of capturing the perfect family oriented setting with a beachy vibe. the food was always amazing and more than enough. the new owners are trying too hard to recreate what the previous owners already established. the service is poor and the atmosphere is not great. I wont Be returning to this location. read more

First time visiting Pompeos and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing food and environment. Loved the outside seating with beautiful flowers and table linens. We came on a Wednesday morning and were seated immediately. Service was great! Very classy restaurant and not like your typical boardwalk dining. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Pompeos - loved my French toast and view!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Review is for the $2.99 breakfast special. I feel like I can't complain too much since it is so cheap and includes 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, and 2 pancakes. However, the texture and taste of the food doesn't feel right to me. Bacon seems too chewy for my liking, and the pancakes are off too. Two stars just for the price and filling me up with food. read more

Pompeos - 2.99 breakfast special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

I had a buffet breakfast there on Easter Sunday, it cost me $315 let me break it down for you, $250 for breakfast for 6 adults and two children $28 for credit card transactions I used two cards $14 for each card and a $50 tip, now you might think we had a gourmet breakfast, not. We where offered silver dollar pancakes (microwaved) chewy bacon cold ham and cold pork roll, cold eggs and the worst French toast I've ever eaten, $40 for coffee and two kids milks, they might as well of held a gun to our heads we were ripped eat here at your own risk, I will never go back read more

Great omelettes and very good coffee. The waitress Sarah was delightful. Service was fast and delightful

Great place. Loved the pancakes and fruit bowl. Abbi was an amazing server! Totally on point with the coffee refills.

We had breakfast as Pompeo this morning.. easter sunday... we sat outside. It was a lovely morning, and we had the absolute BEST waiter, Brian! He was incredibly friendly and fun! We couldn't have asked for better service read more

Stopped in for breakfast after a bike ride down the boardwalk. Food was ok, service excellent, place was clean but way overpriced. Only worth it if you get there before 8:30 am to get the biker special. $4.50 for a mediocre cup of coffee. Most breakfasts were $15-20. Other places are just as good and way cheaper. read more

EXCELLENT! New owners have kicked it up several notches. My family very much enjoyed the French toast and cheesesteak omelette, and I loved my vegetable egg white omelette. Coffee was great, and our server was friendly and very efficient. We will be back! For us, best breakfast on the boardwalk for sure! read more

I wouldn't recommend here at all. First and foremost, they cook and serve dead shellfish. One or two is an accident. Over 8 is incompetence. When shown to the manager she took them away and didn't come back. Not even a sorry. Just some snide remarks that it is unusual. What did you think lady? That I closed the shells and glued them? When paying for what already was an over priced meal, we asked if we would be given a discount since thebdishb was inedible. Not even a "comp" since we realize restaurants are hurting. The same manager returned and said she couldn't find the clams. No kidding. Because you took them. Then said I should have asked for something else. Like what? My stomach was already turned. The waitress who really had nothing to do with the issue and was still getting a 20 tip then piped up and said she offered a replacement when all she said was "oh no". Tip rescinded. Things happen. I get it. But the inference that we lied, the removal and disappearance of the clams, the rude and obnoxious staff, are enough. A customer outside toldnusn they had a confrontation with her earlier and suspected she was drinking. Lovely. I will absolutely NEVER step foot in here again and will make sure I advise all my friends and family who spend every vacation at the hotel next door (MB) to do the same. Customer service can make or break a business. This manager is breaking this dump. read more

We thought we would try the new owner Pompeo's for breakfast. Highly disappointing. child sized portion of shredded potatoes, mushy scrapple, scrambled eggs tasted like container eggs, so little of butter on toast you don't know what side to put the jelly on. No cream cheese. Ran out! No air conditioning and only the front entrance door open. Both ladies room toilets were full of toilet paper. It was no way worth $100 for four people. Never again! read more

If you want to pay $20 for a bacon egg and cheese because it's not on the menu and they charge for a platter, this is the place.

Incredible service! The wait staff was incredibly vigilant and I will be coming back for more!!!!!!

A new find for us and we're longtime Wildwood fans. Food was tasty and service (Abby?) was super friendly. We will definitely be back next year! read more

I visited Pompeos for breakfast to visit a friend of my daughter who is a high school student. We were greeted happily by the server and sat down. The restaurant was not busy so we had a moment to talk to my daughter's friend. While she was visiting our table, the owner asked that she go to the kitchen and was yelled at by the owner for talking even though it was slow and her other tables were tended to. She came back in tears. This happened not once but twice. I worked in the hospitality industry for many years in Wildwood and am currently a high school teacher. In all my years working down the shore have I witnessed such disrespect to an employee. The hospitality industry depends on people feeling welcomed in their establishment. I would never recommend someone patronize a business owner that demeans and yells at young girls that are simply trying to make a living for the summer. If this is the way he treats his employees, I don't see this business making it. I have very fond memories of the old Pompeos and feel saddened this is who took it over. Never going back. read more

at the beginning of the summer season i went to pompeos to apply for a job as a server. the owner seemed like a family man. i soon found out that assumption was nothing but false. Rich (the owner) is the worst person i've ever worked for. i've worked in multiple other restaurants and have delt with disrespect from other bosses, nothing compares to this place. he feeds off degrading his employees, most of which are young and female. i was called and i quote a fucking asshole because i brought the wrong table cloth over to the table that we were cleaning. there is no system of organization. there were days we were so short staffed that i worked three jobs at the pay of one. he never took any responsibility for the restaurant being the way it was and blamed the staff for the complaints. the staff consistently receives rude and passive aggressive texts messages after work in an abundance (up to 13 text messages in 5 minutes). my final straw with this business was yesterday. this was the first day in weeks that i saw the owner in person. my best friends parents came in for breakfast. i obviously was having a conversation with them, the restaurant was dead and all of my tables were taken care of. he called me over and told me that i'm not getting paid (4.50 an hour) to stand around and talk and that things needed to be done. i tried to explain that talking to people and building a relationship with my customers is how i make my tips. he said that i was only there for myself and that i need to think of the business. he told me that being nice isn't the job and that i never do my job right when i get nothing but compliments from my customers. i told him that it was my last day and he agreed that was for the best. i was not planning on leaving on a bad note until he made my now former co worker who is 17 clean for an hour as he yelled in her face. as i was leaving i told him every issue i've ever had with him and his business . i wish i could say everything that happened but there is way to much to even touch the base of it. my honest advice, never step foot near this place or this man. read more
