The food was excellent, and credit where it's due, the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. Everything arrived well prepared, full of flavor, and there wasn't much on the plate to quarrel with. The bill, however, had a bit more ambition than the meal. The base prices are fair enough, but then come the little toll booths: $2 for sour cream, $2 for American cheese, and $3 to swap in fries. None of it is hidden, and the arithmetic is perfectly honest, but honesty and generosity are not always close relations. A $76 meal becoming $99.27 after tax and tip is not highway robbery, but neither is it exactly a warm handshake. The food deserves praise. The pricing deserves a raised eyebrow. Would I return? Yes, because the kitchen earned it. But next time I'd order with the caution of an Irish farmer reading a contract written by a banker: every small addition looks harmless until the total arrives. read more

Pretty good option if you want something with a view, better than a fast casual layout and above average meal options that are still reasonably priced. I've had breakfast and dinner here and both were great. The glazed salmon dinner was cooked to perfection, with a nice bed of rice and vegetables underneath, and the service was speedy and friendly, yet no nonsense. Casual but not divey, comfortable but not luxurious, by any means. A solid option in the 'hood. read more

FANASTIC, did not disappoint in any way....absolutely delicious The staff, the locale, the weather and scrumptious appetizers (too many to list) to the best tasting scallops this New Englander ever had! I tried to get a summary statement from our group, but not enough superlatives for the salmon or steak or chicken topped with crab aka: Chicken Baltimore .... The owners passion for providing a great meal in a very relaxed & welcoming environment ..... exquisite, certainly look forward to a return visit. Hoped to hear of expansion plans for Vero Beach , P & D are the best read more

We had an excellent dinner, one of the best in a while. Not only was the food terrific, service spot on, but the prices have held reasonable. We shared the eggplant appetizer and Caesar salad. Both delicious! My husband's filet was perfectly cooked with great seafood. My crab cakes (my first this year) were huge and delicious. Cost is held down by BYO, which I love. Don't miss this gem if you are staying on Wildwood island. read more

We had lunch here and it was just ok. A positive was the service. While not super friendly, it was efficient and fast. The view is nice, right near the dunes at the beach. The space is a bit dated but seemed clean. The food was ok - I enjoyed the fried tomatoes on my salad but the greens were drenched in dressing making the rest of it hard to eat. The buffalo chicken wrap was also just ok. Overall, we left not super impressed but also not completely disappointed. read more

We had a fabulous breakfast at Royal Grille. We had a Greek Omelette which was perfectly made and a delicious Avocado Toast, The waitress was very efficient and gave good customer service. Excellent place to eat breakfast at Port Royal Hotel next to Centennial Park. read more

Wish this could be "4.5" stars. It's a good little diner for a breakfast that is quick and tasty. Outdoor seating was really nice. Good music on in the background too (mostly 80s chill vibe stuff). Service was fast. Coffee refills were plentiful. We had a table of 9 and things were smooth as can be for an 8:30am breakfast! read more

The Royal Grille is a great little spot to eat lunch or take lunch out for the beach. Their food is surprisingly good, and you can't beat the view from their patio. I haven't yet been for breakfast, but for lunch, I can recommend their chicken salad, taco salad, and buffalo chicken wrap. The waitresses on the patio could be a little friendlier, but I recommend them for anyone close by looking for a quick lunch. read more

Royal Grille - Taco salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wildwood Crest, New Jersey

First meal of vacation, and it was knockout! We've been coming here for years, but today I decided to try the fish tacos. Asked for fried fish instead of the standard and it was hands down the BEST fish tacos I've ever had! The aioli on it was phenomenal, and I even got some extra on the side. The fries were fresh and delicious, and my mom really enjoyed her turkey club as well! Awesome service, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience. Great way to start the week off! read more

Been a regular at Port Royal at least 3 out 4 past years and breakfast/lunch always excellent and reasonably priced. Will keep coming and eventually try dinner maybe next time. Great staff & service. read more

Love this place for breakfast. Have made several trips over the years here. Great food, ambiance, and service. Worth a stop here. Maybe more like 4.5 stars. Wish yelp would enact that. Kids got the pancakes on our most recent trip, wife raved about the burrito, and I enjoyed my #1 combo. read more

For a hotel restaurant it was pretty decent. Standard American fare catering to tourists and hotel guests. Decently priced. Generally open to the public, except some dinner services on some weekends. Take out lunch was great for the beach. Was bummed out they used styrofoam containers and so much packaging. Hope they can be more environmentally conscious next season. read more

I tried calling to ensure they were seating.. the phone rang endlessly so me and my family drove 20 minutes only to be told at 11:30 that they're not seating even though in their website it says open until 8pm. read more

For the past 7 years of Wildwood vacations, my family and I have been coming here especially breakfast and we don't even stay at the hotel because our house is right down the street. The view, great food and price is to easy to pass up. Starting we the hostess, who is SUPER sweet and remembers me and my family, greets you like you've been there a thousand times. The wait, if any, is usually very short, even though all the tables and booths are filled. Choosing between indoor or outdoor seating, either choice is great choice. Watching the sun rise here is spectacular. If you are looking for a great family eatery look no further. The Port Royal has it all. Breakfast, lunch and dinner you can't go wrong. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for breakfast and dinner for years. We just tried breakfast there this morning and under the new ownership it is just as great, if not better. I especially like the glorious morning muffins and the egg white veggie omelette with goat cheese. The new outdoor seating is great, providing a nice view of the beach/ocean. read more

The wife and I had breakfast here on 6/28/17: The food was excellent (stuffed French toast, over-easy eggs, bacon, pancakes, homefries) the view and setting beautiful, the prices fair (even though I hate $2.50 for coffee) and the waitress was attentive and friendly. Food arrived fast. Will return. read more

I have eaten at the Royal Grill no less than 1000 times and although it's dependable and predictable menu is good every time I would still recommend it if you're in Wildwood read more

Excellent breakfast place that has a great view of the ocean! The wait staff is very nice and the food is excellent.

This is the best place to get breakfast! They servers and hostess were very nice and helpful. The hostess even went out of her way to give us tips on where to go in Cape May! The omelette was delicious and the pancakes were the perfect golden brown. We will definitely be back for more this season! read more

I discovered this place while on vacation in WC last year and was looking forward to returning during this year's vacation. I'm happy to say that everything was just as good! I've visited this place 6 times now and have only had breakfast but the food has never disappointed. Almost every table/booth has an ocean view and the prices are more than reasonable for the quality and presentation. Until yesterday I would have rated this place a solid 5 stars. Unfortunately, our waitress (an older lady with very pink lipstick) was less than stellar and had an attitude. I was surprised since all of the other workers that I had ever interacted with had been great. Given all of my positive past experiences, I don't think that one negative experience warrants lowering the rating from 5 to 4 stars. I'll be back again next year! read more

Great view BYOB!! Nice staff Kid friendly Very nice hotel! Clean open space Small menu but still a decent variety. Had the crab dip(so-so) and the Fish tacos(very good!) I'll try almost any place once for dinner w/ my family. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Royal Grille has some attractive marketing as I decided to give this place a try after flipping through a brochure in my hotel's office. To their credit, the Grille does have a lovely beachfront view and the interior seems updated and fresh but that's all that made my experience enjoyable. The ambiance was odd as the music featured was a 70s rock station that was staticky and didn't work with the style of the restaurant. The service was fair as the waitress was attentive but never offered to get me and my guest drinks apart from water. The food was average and my Chicken Royale was swimming in a buttery sauce which while it had a nice flavor was overwhelming to the dish. The entrees came with a salad which was a basic chopped iceberg mix. All in all I wasn't impressed by the food or ambiance and for the price the value was lacking. read more

Only negative was the wait to get in. Beside that it was an upgrade to diner decor and environment. Food was good and not that pricey. Even though the wait was long the food came quick. read more

The food was alright, but there was a waitress on the older side who was incredibly rude to my family and me. Additionally, most people in the restaurant were not wearing their masks correctly (not covering their nose with it). The waitress who served us was one of those people. She also took off her mask to yell at my family. My experience was not a good one and I would not recommend coming here if you want good service and a safe environment. The service here used to be so much better so this is a huge disappointment. read more

First time eating here. Just had a simple eggs Benedict for breakfast. One of the better ones I've had. Restaurant is lovely with every booth having an ocean view. Service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely suggest eating here. We for sure will be back. read more

Good solid meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're staying at the Port Royal it's a no brainer to eat here. Food is better then all other places we tried over the many years coming to Wildwood. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food served. read more

Had breakfast and lunch there. Both meals were delicious and reasonably priced. I find that in this area, you get one or the other, but rarely both of those. For breakfast, they also offer kids meals which include a beverage all for $4.95. read more

This restaurant is in the Port Royal Hotel where we stay for a week every year and it gets better every year. I loved their stuffed flounder. Thursday is prime rib night and it never disappoints. The staff is wonderful. They all work multiple shifts and remember you from meal to meal as well as from year to year. Breakfast is excellent as well! Highly recommend! read more

Before going here i didn't realize that the restaurant was connected to a hotel so it made things a little different then I expected but once I got pass that point I actually enjoyed my time at the restaurant. The food was ok, nothing to brag about but I left full and satisfied. I also loved the beautiful view of the ocean as I had a seat right next to the glass windows. read more

My husband and I enjoyed dinner at the Royal Grille. I had broiled flounder, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. It was wonderful. My husband had pork tenderloin and it was good. The view of the bike path and ocean was a perfect way to spend our evening. read more

Save your money, find a real restaurant. The location is nice, so you'll have a fairly good view of the beach whether you eat in the dining room or outside. The food is completely mediocre, and while the prices are comparatively low, even they are unjustifiably high for the food that is served. Service was pretty lame as well. Asking for anything seemed like an ordeal. If you're here, you're obviously on vacation, so skip this place and find a better restaurant so you can enjoy yourself. read more

I wasn't impressed. Food was ok. Service was mediocre. Server couldn't remember who ordered what when it came to drinks and food. When I got the bill she failed to inform me that only one refill was allowed,each additional refill afterwards was extra. read more

Prices have really gone up. Sorry... $ 43.99 for three adults to have eggs and French toast is outrageous! The food is good but does not warrant the price! We could have had dinner for that price. We will not be returning. read more

Perfectly adequate beach food. Nothing memorable but the food was cheap, the service was alright, and the patio was a nice place to eat outside. You can dine in the restaurant, on the patio, or go to the walk up window. All are very clean and the staff is nice. read more
