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!

We started…read morewith some local oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want when you're spending time down the shore. Always nice to see a place featuring local oysters, and they were a great start to the meal. For my main, I went with the tuna bowl and really enjoyed it. The tuna was fresh, the ingredients worked well together, and the whole bowl was flavorful without being overly complicated. Everything tasted fresh and the portion was just right. Definitely something I would order again. As far as the atmosphere goes, keep your expectations simple. This isn't a fancy waterfront seafood restaurant or a place you're necessarily coming to for the décor. It's casual and pretty no-frills, but honestly, that's perfectly fine when the food delivers. The service was also very good--friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Overall, Dock & Claw is a solid Beach Haven spot if you're looking for fresh seafood, good service, and a relaxed meal without all the fuss. The local oysters and tuna bowl were both winners for me. I'd definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

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.

We have been going to Black Eyed Susans since it first opened on the other side of the street many…read moreyears ago. At that point it was a small restaurant, BYOB, but it was immediately apparent that real gourmet food had finally arrived on LBI. (I still remember their version of shrimp and grits from that time.) We no longer had to put up with the prevailing surf and turf that we had unfortunately become accustomed to. Since then they've moved to their current, much bigger space and have created a beautiful, vibrant, inside-ourside restaurant that still serves excellent food (their lumache is terrific--we try not to order it every time) and has expanded to include pizzas--thin crust and very tasty; every one we've tried has been delicious. So we would definitely recommend Black Eyed Susans. The staff is welcoming, friendly, well trained. This is now a big, beautiful destination restaurant. The pizzas and beer lower the price point.

This was very relaxing and I truly felt like I was transported to a resort. They do a great job of creating a little outdoor oasis. Once we were seated, we literally wanted to order the entire menu. Everything sounded outstanding that it was hard to choose. We settled on the seared tuna and a pizza as our apps. We also did indulge in an order of homemade sourdough because when in Rome! The pizza was by far my favorite. The crust was so thin and so crispy. You could tell all the ingredients were very fresh and the dough was perfect. For our mains, my fiancé had the swordfish special and I went with a crab cake. I love that I was able to get a single order instead of a double. It was the perfect amount of food after all the apps. We agreed the swordfish was outstanding. So moist and not dry whatsoever like it sometimes can be. The real highlight of the meals for me was the homemade soft serve. As a huge ice cream stan, this was the perfect ending to my meal.
