Came down the shore on a warm but windy April day. Decided to wheel into Woodies for lunch. This is an order at the window, grab a seat, listen for name, cash only joint, and it's great. Went basic with the California cheeseburger, just means lettuce, tomato and onion. The produce is really good. The burgers are great, yellow American melted nicely with a good bun to burger ratio. Ordered a small fries to share among 2 people and it was plenty. Nj e, clean tables with umbrellas. Great service. Lingering seagull.

Close up bacon ranch cheese fries.

Adding that extra star to make it 5 across!! Tonight the burgers were on point and that fresh pico n ripe avocado on the Mexican burger make it a must order. Bacon ranch cheese fries for $8.95 sub under priced based on the awesomeness that it was. Now for the trophy presentation. Woodies Xtra Hot wings live up to the name and now that north side doesn't carry that mango habanero wing sauce anymore we have a new undisputed champion. These wings come out hot n crispy n drenched in that Satan juice that wakes you up better than any espresso drink on the market. Very tasty too not just a flame thrower that leaves you in tears. Will be talking these up all season long.

For being a drive in burger joint, they have fresh ground beef from local butcher shop, Oakie's. It's definitely an excellent place to stop by and have an Amercana meal and ice cream. Service is good, quick, and friendly-ish. Outdoor seating is kept clean and umbrellas are placed at every table to give you respite from the UV rays. Woodie's blue VW bus is an iconic, vintage relic, parked in front. Photo op for any car enthusiast. Recommend.

We absolutely loved our experience at Woodies! The service was so friendly and the food was quick and delish! The perfect spot for a post-beach meal and you can't beat the prices for the location. Will definitely be back & highly recommend!

Super mediocre spot, wouldn't go back again. Whoever said this was like a burger you'd make in your backyard, is correct. The seating is uncomfortable. And they don't give you any napkins or have them on the tables, they only have them in one dispenser over by the order counter. This burger burger was small and nothing special. The flavor wasn't there and it was kind of dry. It's funny how they can't even give you pickles on the side--you only get one pickle slice. This was the California cheese burger (so it's a cheeseburger with lettuce/tomato/onion as a normal cheeseburger should have!). $10.13, cash only but the tax comes out to a weird number.

Very cute place with a few locations on the island! My boyfriend and I each got burgers and we split an order of fries. It was a solid meal, tasted fantastic and reasonably priced for beach food. Not to mention the service was incredibly nice and accommodating, we woukd definitely make this a regular spot for some quick food if we stayed longer!

2 cheeseburgers, curly fries, water, and root beer float

Everything feels fresh, well thought out, and delicious, and the prices are right for the quality and portions. The service was a little lacking and could definitely be better, especially when the place gets busy, but it did not take away from how good the food was. This place gets PACKED, and for good reason, so definitely put your name on the waiting list ahead of time if you can. Great breakfast, creative choices, fair prices, and easily one of the better breakfast options on LBI. We will absolutely be back!

We also had scrambled eggs, a biscuit, hash browns and a lox bagel. The rest of the food was good but not stand-out like the pancakes. They forgot my order of bacon and then charged us for it, but they removed it from the bill when I informed them. They do not allow strollers inside. They said we could either leave the stroller on the porch or sit outside, so we chose to sit outside. It was a nice day anyways and they have umbrellas over the tables for shade. I did think it was weird that no strollers are allowed. Haven't seen that before and it didn't feel very baby-friendly. Overall, I'd still recommend LBI table.

Wally's is wonderful! This was our first visit to Wally's in…read moreSurf City on Long Beach Island and to say we were wonderfully surprised would be an understatement. The staff were welcoming, friendly and very attentive to our needs and requests. Especially our server Aydin and manager Nicole. More about these exceptional individuals later! One member of our party suffers from severe Celiac disease and it's always a challenge trying to find meals she can enjoy that have the least risk of cross contamination. Many restaurants have limited gluten free options or can only offer suggestions on which menu items can be made gluten free. But they rarely have dedicated cooking and preparation areas nor do they fully understand the disease. Wally's has actual gluten free menus! Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus! Each has a large selection of 'normal' meals that are made with gluten free breads, rolls...everything! Not only are the meals gluten free, but their preparation is so perfect (gluten free items such as breads need special attention to get the best taste, consistency and flavors...they can't be prepared like regular bread items). The gluten free meal was absolutely fantastic! All of our meals were fantastic! Delicious, plated wonderfully and perfectly proportioned. Our server Aydin was exceptional! Pleasant, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. His recommendations were perfect. Aydin took wonderful care of our party and made sure each order was perfect...with special attention to the gluten free meal! Aydin was a pleasure and his service was excellent! Nicole is the manager and she came and introduced herself. She is the perfect example of what a manager should be...friendly, engaging and gracious. Nicole showed us the importance Wally's places on providing excellent service and personalized care to each and every customer! Her knowledge of gluten free food preparation is extensive...and very much appreciated! Again...this was our first visit to Wally's and we can't wait to return. Thank you Wally's, thank you Aydin, thank you Nicole!

They were friendly and hardworking. I ordered the Rhode Island chowder. The broth is tomato based with a nice kick and a good amount of vegetables. The clams were tough and a tad overcooked.
