    I really wanted to like this place, but there were just too many negatives that outweighed the positives. First, upon walking in we were seated promptly right near the door, that was propped wide open even though it was 60° and raining. This door remained opened 95% of the time we were in the shockingly loud restaurant and left us all shivering. Another negative was the outrageous prices, which I get being high due to inflation but this is too far for what you get. Also, the hostesses were wandering around blindly, in everyone's way, and were bordering on making us all uncomfortable due to their hover-like nature in the dining room. However, the food was delicious, and our server was attentive and kind and did good at making the 45 minute wait time for our food feel less prolonged than it was.

    Revisted stellas recently and the food was superior, but i feel there are some kinks that need to be worked out. a year later, and it seems they are still understaffed. we came on a sunday around 11 am and there were an abundant amount of empty tables, but sadly, not enough servers. i hope they get more staff because we waited about 40 mins and there were so many empty tables. our service was slow, but i am sure this is because lack of servers and being full. pay attention to your bill, it seems they up charge and break down things and charge differently from the menu. we noticed prices wrre one price on the menu, but on the receipt, they were more expensive. i opted for the egg n cheese and tofu scramble rolled into a pancake. this was amazing. my only complaint - add more of the tofu scramble. pancakes were cooked perfectly! to be honest, they dont even need the syrup. theres alot going on here. despite these issues, i would eat here again.

    Came here for brunch. The food was good but wasn't a fan of eggs Benedict. The sauce was a big too thick. They do serve wine based cocktails. Their mimosas were very big but expensive. They have indoor and outdoor dining

    Açaí bowl. Size of a cup of soup for $17. The açaí is crushed ice texture.

    Staff was friendly, sat right away. Got an açaí bowl. The açaí was the texture of crushed ice. The taste was ok if you're craving it. The size of cup of soup. For $17 I wish I had got something else.

    Good ambiance, option to sit outside which was also pleasantly decorated. Basic food, reminded us more of a diner. Great service.

    Put your name in early! There will be a wait. My family and I have been going to Wildwood for years and years and I'm surprised it took us this long to find this gem! I love that Stella's Cafe has vegan options and wow, were they delicious. I ordered the Vegan Melt and I've been craving it ever since. We didn't know Stella's Cafe had alcohol until we saw someone else drinking. Their mimosas are HUGE and they did not disappoint, very yummy!!! I would to come back here. *There is a very tiny parking lot.

    My husband and I came the morning of my birthday with our dog, since we took a weekend getaway to wildwood. We came on a Monday morning (we drove by the day before and it was packed) -- and thankfully it was much lighter. The food and the service was amazing! My pup got blueberry infused water, and the "two paws up". Great experience all around. What was even more special (although unfortunate in the beginning) was that my earring fell through an outdoor patio crack -- a gold hoop. My husband and I were prepared to just consider it a loss, when the owner came with a drill and lifted the outdoor patio board so we could retrieve it. I would recommend this business 100% !

    What in the h&/! is this? Come on. Under hot sandwich it said "Chicken cutlet with sharp provolone". I guess they meant sharp corners on the unmelted chopped provolone. Did they forget a step or two here? Come on Stella, an Italian cutlet sandwich in NJ is a staple, you can do better! Bread was dry, chicken was dry and the provolone was, well, hard. On a positive note, the staff was friendly.

    This was, without a doubt, the most extraordinary dining experience of my entire life. From start…read moreto finish, every moment was a masterpiece. We have been loyal Cape May devotees for twenty years, but our spontaneous venture into Wildwood Crest turned out to be a gastronomic revelation. On our final day before heading back to the beloved Cape, we stumbled upon this gem of a diner. From the instant we walked through the door, we were treated like royalty. A warm, enthusiastic greeting ushered us into a charming, spotless booth. The atmosphere radiated with nostalgic American charm. Our waitress, the epitome of friendliness, promptly took our drink orders, setting the tone for an unforgettable culinary journey. My husband selected the macadamia nut French toast, while I opted for the Greek-style Hangover. Both dishes transcended mere breakfast fare and entered the realm of the sublime. My plate, an exquisite blend of savory chipped beef, creamy feta, roasted tomatoes, and perfectly cooked eggs, was nothing short of heavenly. Each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures, an experience so divine it could have earned a Michelin star. I am still in awe, with the taste lingering as a cherished memory. And then there was the macadamia nut French toast. Imagine the softest, fluffiest slices of French toast, bathed in golden syrup and crowned with delicate macadamia nuts and brown sugar. Each bite was an ethereal, out-of-body experience, combining extraordinary flavors with an unparalleled texture that defies description. But the excellence did not stop there. The prices were astonishingly reasonable, and the service was beyond impeccable. The delightful owner personally visited our table to ensure our satisfaction, and even the cook seemed to take a moment to check on us. This level of dedication and personal touch elevated our dining experience to an unprecedented level. In summary, the service was flawless, the food was transcendent, and the ambiance was the epitome of classic American diner perfection. Even the coffee was exceptional--hot, smooth, and refilled at just the right moments. This diner is not just a recommendation; it is a must-visit, a culinary pilgrimage. It earns an A+++ in every conceivable category. The kids would say this place "ATE," and I wholeheartedly agree. This diner provided a dining experience that will be cherished for a lifetime. If you ever find yourself within a hundred miles, make the trip. You will not be disappointed. Highly, highly, highly recommend! ,

    Welcome to mini-golf course #26!…read more Duffer's is now my favorite mini-golf course in the Wildwoods, and it's not because I scored a hole-in-one. Even with summer winding down, the course is in fantastic shape. It's a fun course with holes that seem to chat to you, others playing music, and one even has a volcano eruption! There's so much to see and do for kids of all ages. They don't have stairs to climb, but some holes have hidden slopes that are worth keeping an eye out for. My wife thinks there isn't much shade on the course, so people will buy ice cream, but I don't think Duffer's has that problem.

We came here around 11:30am on a Sunday. The arcade was little busy. Their price for chips was really good, I bought 120 chips for only $30. Most of the arcade games required 6-10 chips. 120 chips lasted about 15 minutes for us playing different games non stop. The arcade had good variety of games. The prize counter also had lots of prizes to redeem the winning tickets. Prizes ranged from 50 to 10,000 tickets. For our stash of only 400 tickets, the kids in our group were able to get multiple items. After the arcade we went to the ice cream store. The store looked really nice. It was only for to go, but some benches were available outside. They had about 34 different flavors and whole of different toppings. For base, cones, waffles and cups were available. We ordered two different ice creams flavors in waffle cones. The staff members assembled them right away and handed to us. They put so much ice cream and it was so hot, the ice cream started to melt and drip. So they gave us cups to hold them upside down. The ice creams had really tasty flavors. They were creamy with no icy parts. They were also very pricey, each costing around $10. But overall we all had a fun time here between the arcade and ice creams.

Always made sure our coffee and water stayed filled. I ordered the banana french toast. Each layer was stacked to the brim with soft but not super mushy bananas and the most delicious brown sugar, caramel. Although it did not come with a side it was quite filling (though if you have a larger appetite I'd order one). George's special was exactly as described. The hashbrowns stole the show. Pancakes were a little underwhelming in our opinion. Would order something else if we came again.

They have a solid menu with a variety of breakfast dishes including different omelets. I usually get the Jackie O with spinach, tomatoes, and feta although this time I got the Jive Turkey with turkey sausage and dill havarti. It was a little on the dry side. However, they do give you an option of cherry tomatoes in place of potatoes on the side. I also love the choice of bread including sour dough. My husband's banana French toast tasted delicious with the cinnamon and bananas. Be advised, they only have whole milk, so if you like almond or oat milk with your coffee, you're out of luck. Also, there was no stevia. Please note they are cash only too.
