THE GOOD ---------------- + Plenty of tables and seats inside. + Our waitress (Sheryl) was on point with her service and very friendly . + Seafood entrees (Jumbo Lump Crap Cake, Windjammer Combo) were very good, but a bit on the salty side. Still worth the extra $$$ spent on them with the amount of food served. + Kids Chicken Parm was huge and easily could feed an adult. + Large private parking lot. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Very crowded on the Thursday prior to Labor Day weekend, but there were still open tables. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = A good alternative to The Crab Trap, which is down the block and can have crazy long wait times. read more

- Excellent service from our waitress, Sheryl; very attentive and super friendly to our kids, making the dining experience enjoyable for the whole family - Spacious, big restaurant with plenty of booths, so you don't feel cramped; tables are reasonably spaced out, providing a comfortable atmosphere - Even though it was pretty full for a Thursday evening, it wasn't too loud--great for conversation - The food was extremely salty! The chicken rice soup, clams casino, and the kids' chicken parm with linguine were especially salty--made our tongues feel like sandpaper! - The portions were fairly large, so you definitely get your money's worth, but it was hard to enjoy with the saltiness read more

Never been to The Windjammer, so we didn't know what to expect. What you need to know is this was the night of the Phillies/ Dodgers NLDS, so we were looking for a place that had beer and TV. The service was a bit slow, but the French fries were phenomenal. (Some of the best I've ever had.) The BLT, pork chops, and fish were all good. That's all I got, the games on. GO PHILS!! read more

This was my first visit to The Windjammer, however, it's another one of my fiancé's family's go-to restaurants while they're on vacation in Ocean City. It's conveniently located right off of the island and has an enormous parking lot. It definitely has the look and feel of a diner, but it also features a large bar. I'll admit that I wasn't very excited about dining here, but by the end of our meal The Windjammer exceeded my expectations and then some. We were a larger party of 8 and our server did a fine job with us throughout the course of our meal. We all ordered water, soda, or iced tea so there's nothing to report on the drink front. We were started with bread and banana bread (not the best banana bread I've had but also nothing to complain about since it was complementary) and we ordered a couple of appetizers to split -- the Mini Panzarotti were very good. I had a hard time deciding what to order for dinner but landed on the Yiayia's Prime Pork Chops. I loved the seasonings and the flavor of the pork chops. In no way am I complaining, but while one of my pork chops was juicy and tender, the other pork chop was drier and tougher. Still completely happy with my meal. The prices were pretty reasonable and the dinners came with plenty of food for anyone to be satisfied. All of the entrees came with Soup of the Day or House Salad. I chose the New England Clam Chowder which I really enjoyed. The house salads were also huge! My fiancé and her brother-in-law split the Filet Mignon Medallions and the Iowa Premium Braised Beef. Her dad ordered Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes. Everyone enjoyed their meals and many of us had leftovers. I can see why The Windjammer is a restaurant my fiancé's family enjoys and continues to go back to. The dining experience was casual and relaxed, and they're a kid friendly establishment. I never felt rushed and our server never made it feel like we were a bother. The portions were almost unbelievable (in a great way lol). As I'm writing this and recalling our experience I feel bad for not wanting to dine here. I'll gladly come back again given the opportunity! read more

We like T W D for dinner, but it is the first time we have gone here for breakfast, and everything was amazing... MDF ordered chicken kabab salad, which was nicely seasoned and beautifully presented, and she really enjoyed it, No 1 son ordered a meat lover omelette, and a Belgium waffle, he loved both of them, I ordered the Belgium waffle and I think it was the best I've ever had. The Windjammer is now on my list of favorite local breakfast spots... read more

the waiter we had was very kind and great, contrary to some of the other opinions here. that was kind of the only thing that was great here. i got the chicken tortellini and the amount of cheese on top was kind of overwhelming. the steaks some other people got were dry, also one person got a rib eye and the other got a new york strip, and both were given the exact same steak. my biggest gripe, that someone else mentioned in their review as well, was the tv playing. Something about reading headlines like "superman joins ice" "second china virus in america" and "barack obama the beta" kind of puts a damper on your meal. wildly uncomfortable, don't think i'll be coming back. read more

The food was mediocre at best. There was three of us. One ordered flounder, mashed potatoes, salad and French fries. She ended up with diarrhea. The food had no flavor. Second person ordered chicken picata and asked for it to be breaded. His order came un breaded and had to be sent back. The dinner rolls were hard. None of us ate the French fries. We will not be back read more

First time here. Was recommended for us to come here. Was seated right away. Waitress came over right away to take our food and drink orders. Tables have a nice vinyl table covering. Decor is low light and very comfortable. Music isn't too loud. Salads and breads came out super fast! Salad was basic. But it's a started salad. The slice bread was shockingly sweet! Super moist. Diner rolls are a little harder but not dry! Holds up well with your meal. I ordered the chicken parmigiana! Chicken is tender! Sauce is not super sweet! Has a beautiful Italian flavor! Lingerie was cooked perfectly! For sizing it a lot for the lunch special. Wow wow! Definitely will be back! Was told breakfast is served till 3pm everyday! Bonus! Got here at 3:30pm so will have to make sure we get back to try breakfast!! Inside wasn't super cold as far as temperature is concerned. Most restaurants are so cold! Definitely worth the 5 stars! read more

I always enjoy this restaurant but I am wondering if it changed hands because the last two times I was there it was terrible for dinner. I got chicken cordon blu for dinner. Terrible I should have sent back but of course I didn't sorry but I won't be going back anymore. read more

Great place! The menu has something for everyone. The crab cakes were delicious and enough for two meals. Very nice waitstaff. Ambiance is an upscale (large) diner vibe. We all really enjoyed our meal. read more

This is a decent diner even if they have a relatively small menu. The inside is large and modern, and very clean. I liked my ravioli and meatball dish well enough, but $15 for it is a little steep. Not bad for a Jersey diner experience. read more

Stopped for lunch on our way into Ocean City. Place is large with lots of tables and a pretty expansive menu. Our server was a delight and was very attentive throughout our meal. My wife's spinach omelet, to which she added sausage, was really flavorful and satisfying, and the home fries served with it were very good as well. My crab bisque was a mixed bag - the generous portion of lump crab meat was fabulous! Unfortunately the crab bisque it was added to was pretty good but obviously came from a can. We will return to try other offerings. read more

There is nothing more entertaining than bringing your friend visiting from Skibbereen, Co. Cork, Ireland to an American diner. While he's been here to the States visiting us many times, I still get a secret thrill when I see his eyes glaze over with fear when the waitress comes and asks him the inevitable questions he dreads: "How do you want your eggs? Scrambled? Fried?" Then that horrible follow up question - "Over easy, over medium, hard?" And oh no...."What kind of toast? White? Rye? Sourdough? Wheat? You can also have an English muffin." (That always makes him choke with disgust.) And oh dear, trying to explain to an Irishman and the difference between hash browns and home fries... Anyway, breakfast was good, the waitress was nice, and we "et" it all. read more

We were in OCNJ over the weekend and wanted to get out to a place with a bar. We wanted to try and get dinner at a place with a water view, and knowing it's ocnj we headed out around 4:00 to beat the crowd. Unfortunately our choices were all packed and we ended up at the Windjammer. With a toddler we had to make moves. It was honestly the best move we could have made. We walked into the Windjammer and everyone was instantly friendly, the hostess gave our toddler a toy to play with and our server was so friendly! Our food was really good too and my husband and I both had local ipas. Things happen for a reason and we were happy for this pleasant accident. We will definitely return and try some breakfast items for sure. read more

Our food was ordered To Go. Everything was packaged very carefully and very beautifully, you do not see that often with to-go services in restaurants. My grandfather can no longer go into restaurants so your to-go service is a lifesaver! I got the Salmon and it was perfect. The veggie medley has a good mix of vegetables and everything was cooked perfectly. I was unsure on the cream of broccoli soup but I ended up loving that as well. Thank you! read more

Our service with Caroline was great. She was friendly and checked on us just enough. I got the Chop-Chop salad. It was excellent! Great flavor combinations and textures. Saved half for tomorrow. Husband got the lobster meat scampi. It was good enough and smelled great from where I was sitting. The bar had beer on tap and a selection of wines. They probably have mixed drinks, as well. This is a diner-type restaurant and while the desserts were very tempting, we did not get any. We called two other places in Somers Point (at 5:00 on a Tuesday) before choosing here. The first had a wait of 45 minutes and the second had a wait of 1 hour, 45 minutes! We had no wait here and I'm sure we paid less. It's worth a visit! I know I'll be back. read more

Had the Shrimp scampi large shrimp but no flavor at all. My son had lobster ravioli and said it was good They give you a nice size salad with rolls/cornbread Rolls had no taste Great service by Candy! A little noisy especially when a little kid is singing the alphabet song over and over again It has a bar but besides that you feel like you're in a diner Had their ribs last time and they were delicious read more

Food was good but programming on the tvs around the restaurant showed extreme political views so unless you want to be immersed in that kind of environment I would avoid this restaurant. If you have family or friends of varying viewpoints and what's playing is the most charged and opinionated programming, what would otherwise have been a good time together could become unnecessarily contentious. read more

It's a diner, but ramped up a bit. We stopped in looking for a relaxing casual meal after a long drive and found a great menu, friendly (albeit very busy) service and good prices. I had Yiayia's Pork Chop Oregatano. The plate was huge - literally filled with food! The menu is specific with broccoli and fries as the sides but in reality it is flexible. I had sautéed zucchini and a baked potato instead. The Pork was nicely seasoned and tender. My dad and sister had the Turkey Club with potato salad and both thoroughly enjoyed their meals and raved about the potato salad. Sadly we could not fit in any of the lovely baked treats on display in the entrance. Next time Windjammer, we will leave room for dessert! I highly recommend the Windjammer! It's delicious food and perfect for families. You will want to come back! read more

Stopped in looking for some comfort food and gave this a try. Wife and I got a cup of chicken rice soup. She got the BLT which was loaded with bacon(see pI had the grilled cheese with bacon. Great ratio of cheese and good amount of bacon. Very good lunch and would repeat Went back 5/1/19. Sat at the bar and met KATHY the bartender. She was very welcoming and friendly. I tried the philly cheese steak which was good. The meat was chopped and nice amount of cheese. Bonus was the roll was toasted. Wife got the turkey club and said it was good. It must have been because despite my hints I wasn't offered a taste. Will go back and try other items read more

This place was awesome! I had dinner with some friends at the Windjammer a few months back and everything was just delicious. We were there early and all ordered the Early Bird Specials which included a side salad, drink and dessert. I had the Chicken Picatta which came with some nicely seasoned rice and fresh vegetables. So good. One friend had a beef dish and the other had seafood and they both loved their meals as well. For dessert, I took home a piece of apple bread which was also really good. The service was great and the restaurant itself was decorated nicely and had a good vibe to it. We had a great meal and really enjoyed our time there. I hope to be able to take my husband there one day - I know he would love it. read more

We try to spread our eating out money around, and it's been a while since we've been to Windjammer. The food used to be above average diner fare. Our meal lay night was awful. We went during early bird and each had the seafood combo, which was $24 during early bird. First, the bread was awful. It used to be fresh. Every roll was hard and the banana bread had been frozen. The lettuce in the salad was brown. The seafood platter was horrible. The crab cakes were the size of golf balls. My wife's were really salty, but mine OK, which was odd. The shrimp and fish were so overcooked that I thought they forgot the one shrimp, it was so unrecognizable. The dessert, Jewish apple cake was also terrible. It obviously had been frozen, and it was hard and mealy. We didn't complain because we arrived at a few minutes before 5 (the end of early bird). By the time we were waited on, 5:01, the waitress said that early bird was over. She had to get approval of the owner to give us the menus. I rarely leave bad reviews, but this meal was awful. When you spend $60 for an early bird meal, you at least expect it to be palatable. read more

Thoroughly disappointed. As a local, I used to go here frequently for dinner and loved the experience. They had the best cheese bread that we loved. Decided to come for lunch today, sat down And ordered from the pared down lunch menu. Found nothing incredibly appetizing so I ordered a chicken parm. Asked for penne to be subbed out for the linguini, and was told they only had linguine available. Food got here and the appetizer and soup weren't bad, but the sauce on the chicken parm was flavorless and too sweet. Ate half of my plate, and planned on taking it home and doctoring up the sauce myself for leftovers. Waiter came over and asked if we'd like boxes and I told him yes. He asked if I needed a large box, and I told him yeah since so much was less. They have a charge for using their "large" to go boxes. I was flabbergasted. The waiter asked if want several small boxes since they're were free. So now I am leaving the restaurant with 6 tiny to go boxes since it cost money to take the food to go in an appropriate box. Absolutely absurd. Will not be returning. For the price of lunch (95 bucks with tip) and the up charges it's just not worth it. I could had a better lunch for half the price and any other diner in the area. read more

I know we all have different tastes, but four of us had four different entrees at Windjammer tonight and let's just say we won't be going back in future years. Maybe the kitchen and our waitress were both just off tonight. Not sure, but not going back. Just our experience. read more

Recently returned to the Windjammer for dinner after a few years. They had room for us right away and the food and cocktails (top shelf) were really really good! Great waitstaff, friendly, efficient, hospitable as they should be. Parking was easy also. So much contrast to the other places in the area that seem to have forgotten these things are important. Very pleasantly impressed. read more

Looking for a quick dinner while staying in Ocean City a group of us decided on the Windjammer just over the bridge into Somers Point.

We're here a few times every month. We had a bad meal with bad service. No big deal.. it happens. The problem was the manager or owner, whoever the angry man with an accent is. I tried to explain what happened tonight but he had no time for me. Probably because I'm a woman. read more

Our second choice for dinner & a pretty good one. I had this restaurant bookmarked from last year (we stay at a hotel across the street). I really enjoyed my lump crab salad - nixed the onions, peppers & olives. It came w cucumbers, sliced tomato & avocado as well. It filled me. Vince had stuffed flounder - he liked the fresh flounder but wasn't thrilled on the filling. I tried a bite and liked it & would, in fact, order it next go round. My daughter had soup & a burger - loved both (she's 14 but has decent taste). Aidan (12) mopped up on his chicken parm, served w penne. He just "made it" for the kids menu. His dish came w ice cream too - two BIG scoops! One happy boy! The bread basket had sliced corn bread, cinnamon rolls (not the overly sweet bakery type) and plain rolls. Looked great but too carby for me. Our server, Susan, was so so sweet & seemed genuinely glad to serve us. She was very motherly & kind. Everything wraps up to another visit. 3.5 stars if possible. read more

Very disappointed today. We've been going to this diner for years. It used to be our 'go to' for breakfast. This morning we went and I found out they no longer have my favorite, Crab Hash. When the waitress was asked about it, I got a vague reply. She didn't know. So I tried to find something else. I asked the waitress if they had Corned beef hash. I got a dramatic sigh and what sounded like a disgusted tone while saying ' we never had that'. She was very rude and condescending. We will not return. read more

This place should be awarded the Jersey diner of the year! The omelets are absolutely incredible.. choice of toast, bagel or eng muffin with no up charge. Fabulous home fries... Our waitress Elizabeth who has waited on us a few times is professional, efficient and very kind. We drive from Cape May just to have breakfast. Tried the cream chip beef... hands down the best I've every had.. better then the original Ponzio's of Cherry Hill, NJ ( which used to be the gold standard of diners, however, sadly not anymore) read more

Our server was nice, friendly etc. However my meal has left me a bit worse for wear. My fries tasted like chemicals/cleaner that was left in the fryer when they filled it for the day OR they dropped something into it I dunno BUT I had to go to the bathroom WHILE still there and I'm still going at home & I feel utterly horrible. I didn't eat more than a few and didn't want to even finish my other meal. We used to like going here, will never be back. read more
