Horrible diner experience, it actually was comically bad. We were excited because it looks like…read morethis place has good reviews. :( There were not enough menus at first so we were without a menu for a while, until they found one. Then, they were playing extremely sexually explicit music on the speakers ("me so hor** me love you long time -women moaning noises-) Next, our food took an unusually long time, we got a burger and fettuccini Alfredo. The burger was ok but the fettuccini was not able to be eaten, it was literally swimming in sauce: we tried to take some out which the excess was over a cup and still drenched, you could drink it. I also discovered a hair buried in the sauce after I already ate some and as I was trying to scoop out the sauce. it was $20 down the toilet for my meal. Then the waitress dismissed us and ignored that we brought up we couldn't even finish it sadly. She just gave us the check and walked away and ignored us after we tried to nicely mention it a few times. The lady at the counter asked how it was and we admitted pretty disappointing, but then she sort of made a joke about it instead ("some people like a lot of sauce"). She gave us a "small discount" of $2 off a $50 check and then readded $3 for the credit card fee. Then my mom and I walked in the parking lot and she stepped in a huge puddle of sewage coming from the building at the side of the restaurant near the end of the sidewalk. That was really just the grand finale. Really terrible service. It just stinks to work so hard for your money just to throw it out.

We always get the early bird special (7 am - 9 am). You won't find a better deal than that on the island. The food is filling and delicious. Both the pancakes and French toast are delicious. It's quite busy before 9 am, too. The staff is different for the dinner shift and the breakfast shift. Both groups are wonderful. There's also plenty of parking on site. We ordered dinner from here recently. I ordered the Seafood combo entree. It included a choice of soup (I chose Manhattan clam chowder) or soup, 2 side options (I chose coleslaw and macaroni and cheese). The food was well packaged. The sides were delicious and filling. This was the first time I tried Manhattan clam chowder. Barely any clams, plenty of vegetables, and good tomato broth. It was still pretty good. The coleslaw and macaroni and cheese were plentiful. The seafood combo - shrimp was good, scallops were pretty good, flounder was fine. The crab cake could've been a bit better. It was mushy and somewhat salty. Would I come here again? Of course! This is my go-to place for breakfast. Well worth it. Dinner -- I would come by, but not my first choice.

The only reason we picked Vegas is because my daughter loved the old school look from the outside and said she loved diners. I'm glad that Vegas caught her eye.. and that it's old school charm didn't stop at the door. Nice amount of parking, clean, Elizabeth was our server and she was very pleasant. You don't wait long for your food and it comes out delicious and fresh! I order a side of chipped beef and I should have order much more because my mom who said she just wanted to try it... ate most of mine! It was so good. Reminds me of my late father who loved it. Such an old school meal that is becoming a rarity. Executed perfectly. My omelette was great... my daughter's pancakes were delicious. We left full and happy! Can't wait to return when we come back to visit the Wildwood area.

Tip: If you're short on time, call your order in ahead--it'll be ready when you get there, making it an even easier stop after a day at the zoo.

Cavu is part of the Kara restaurant group and their restaurants never disappoint! I've been here for breakfast and dinner so far. For breakfast, the breakfast quesadilla was delish! Big portion and it comes with breakfast potatoes. I loved it and definitely recommend getting some hot sauce with it! For dinner, I loved their bacon wrapped scallops! So delicious and flavorful. 10/5!! I got the salmon for my entree. This was good, but I feel like it lacked flavor in the red pepper pesto and the texture of the polenta was a little too liquidy for me. My mom had the crab cakes and I tried a bite. These were amazing and the brussels it came with were next level! Overall, I love this restaurant and vibe. It's BYOB and a great spot for a casual, but nice night out down the shore!

Very poor experience for dinner. From the moment we walked in, I could sense the place was…read moreoverwhelmed even though there were not many people in there. We had a 7:30 reservation. We got there at 7:15 and the hostess said she would sit us but that we would have to wait at the table for 15 minutes because she just sat a lot of tables. I'm OK with that, but there really was not many people in the place. The entire service staff was very overwhelmed. I will say they were nice and pleasant however. But they were running around despite it not being busy. I noticed various orders at other tables coming out incorrectly. ex: the table next to us had their entrees come out before their salads. I did not see a manager at all, only a hostess, 2 or 3 servers and some bussers. We ordered the Brushetta Buratta app, which was good. For dinner I ordered the Short Rib and my husband ordered the Steak Frites which was supposed to be a NY Strip with Truffle fries. My short rib was decent however my husband's entree was terrible. It came out as a t-Bone, not a strip ( he wasn't upset about that but you would think that staff would mention that) and was also well done rather than the medium he ordered. I asked him if it was even edible and the short answer is no, however he felt with how overwhelmed the place seemed to be there was no way he would get another entree so he just ate it. He had to ask for A1 to be it tolerable. It also did not come with truffle fries, it came with sliced potatoes that seemed more appropriate on their breakfast menu. When it came time to pay we had to wait awhile for the check. When the server came back with the credit card after running it, he did not bring the slips to sig and apparently had accidently thrown them out so had to dig them out of the trash. Again, just overwhelmed for nothing. We ended up being there for a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes and I still can't understand why. Very bad from beginning to end. Skip this place and spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
