Beach Creek Oyster Bar & Grill

My girlfriend and I rode bikes over to Beach Creek in perfect time to catch a beautiful sunset on the deck while enjoying cocktails and oysters. The live band covering JJ added to the experience.
I’ve been back on numerous occasions with one thing on my mind: the barbecue fish tacos. Easily the best fish taco you can find in Cape May County.

Where to begin. This place is awesome. We went today on a Sunday for dinner. We ordered clams casino, Gorgonzola gnoochi, and crab dip for starters and they were all great. We each ordered off the $ 25 meals. You think it would be small but nope regular portion. From now on this will be our go too down the shore. Oh and the drinks were on point. Great bartender. I would recommend getting their at 4 when they open because they fill up fast.

The food here is to die for. The sea bass with the lobster risotto is pricey, but just get it — its worth every penny. Me and my family were all thrilled with every bite of food we had. The drinks were OK, I prefer the bar at the Boat House next door. My only complaint is that the inside dining room is very dark, my mother had a hard time reading the menu. We will definitely be back next summer!

«Happy Birthday Paul-​Surf and Turf» is served with a huge Lobster tail! 14oz and a filet! The regular surf and turf is about 5 oz! Delish
Just what the Dr ordered! Started with Shrimp bisque, the soup of the day, hubbie also ordered a shrimp cocktail and Chesapeake Chicken smothered with lump crab meat!
Service was good. Cosmopolitan was excellent. After Labor day crowd was perfect!

We didn’t have a chance eat there because of the crazy waiting time, 1 hour! There are plenty of places around where you can be seated right away

We were a party of 4 and everything we ordered was AMAZING, I think I’d drive 4 hours to get dinner here. We had:
clams casino and char oysters Rate ¹⁰⁄₁₀
Mojitos/​Margaritas/​Blue crush ¹⁰⁄₁₀
The surf & turf, santa fe scallops, crab cakes, Chilean sea bass were all probably some of the best entrees we have ever had.
And Amanda our Server was absolutely awesome!
I highly recommend this place if your in the area especially on Vacation!

I really wanted to not like Beach Creek.
They need to have more local fish on the menu. These guys are steps from the Atlantic, and they don’t have – at a minimum – locally caught flounder on the menu? From what I could tell, the only local seafood on the menu is the clams.
Additionally, the menu is way too big. I counted 25 appetizers alone. TWENTY. FIVE. The menu is not quite old school, but it’s lacking some modern touches you’d expect to see in any better restaurant today. Lastly, Beach Creek is expensive, with many entrees over $ 30.
The problem (for me) is that everything we had was very good, and we enjoyed our meals.
I liked the chopped tomato bruschetta they brought to the table when we sat down. It was fresh, with little slivers of basil, a bit of onion, and a light sprinkle of balsamic. I wasn’t a fan of the squishy bread that came with it, but it did the job.
I ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Five large shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce over angel hair. The tomato sauce tasted fresh, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The heat level was just right, with plenty of kick.
My wife’s salmon dish was beautifully plated, and she said it was delicious. My daughter’s tempura batterd mahi mahi, was good too, and her tater tots (while obviously frozen) were tasty and crunchy.
Beach Creek has it’s flaws, but the kitchen knows what it’s doing and is putting out good food. We’ll definitley come back next time we’re in Wildwood.

Just finished a wonderful meal at Beach Creek. To avoid a wait, we arrived early and enjoyed Happy Hour before being seated at 4:00. We had a high top overlooking water… beautiful and very relaxing.
We opted to do the $ 25 Three Course Meal. Fresh-​baked bread with bruschetta started the meal. We both got the house salad (highly recommend). I had the crab cake and coconut shrimp entrée; my husband chose the seared tuna. We were overwhelmed by the generous portions and loved our sides (mashed potatoes/​yams and kale). Chocolate chip bread pudding and hot coffee were the perfect end.
We will be back to Beach Creek…

Best experience and service I’ve had in awhile trying a new place. Beach creek is decorated beautifully, clean, nice location. The service is outstanding. We had a pleasant waitress. She knew the menu in and out. Her name was Amy. We loved her. Food runners nearby were running all around, carried many plates all at once, outstanding, I hope they get tipped well. The menu is long and extensive. Lots of variety, fresh items, seafood, meat, specials, soups. So amazing. I got the chicken rosa from the early bird menu. Delicious. Chicken cooked correctly and sauce very flavorful. Also had clam chowder to start which was also so good but different. One complaint would be that the steaks were not cooked exactly how we ordered them but it was minor. Also, not a place to go if you’re looking for a cheap night, but if not you won’t be disappointed. I highly suggest Beach Creek.

Great food! We chose the 3 course meal which had great selections for $ 25. 6 adult meals and 1 kids meal with 6 beers equals $ 220. I didnt think that was too bad.
Everyone enjoyed the fish and chips, the crab cakes and the pasta dinner. Their bread pudding was very good.

I was in oyster heaven!!! Great service! Great food! Great drinks and atmosphere! Definitely will be back soon!!!

Love the atmosphere! Came to eat inside but after hanging out on the deck to wait for our table, we decided to stay and feast on appetizers. Everything was delish, from the calamari to the alligator fritters to the flatbread to the mozzarella triangles. Would definitely recommend and definitely come again.

My wife and I stopped here on vacation. The best part of our trip! We started with cocktails. She had «The Beast», aptly named. I had the mojito. Both excellent ! By the way, our waitress Shana was spirited and fun!
Bring on the appetizers! She had Clams Casino while I had the Shrimp Lejon. Top quality and delight for all the taste buds.
Finally, on to the main course. My wife had the highly recommended Sea Bass while I did the surf n turf. The portobello mushroom on the sea bass could have been a meal itself, so buttery and sweet. The ½ lobster tail was better than some whole tails I’ve had at other «seafood» houses (see Lobster House). The Sea Bass was devine, melt in your mouth delicious. Well worth the price.

First off some of the reviews make this place out to be a $ 75.00 + a plate restaurant. For a place on the water and someone who lives in NJ this place is not overly priced at all. My Wife and I got two of the more expensive items on the menu and two drinks each and it was under $ 130.00, if you’re expecting something cheaper you probably shouldn’t be looking for water front dinning at the Jersey shore…
But the food was amazing, I had a steak and my Wife had the Sea Bass. Both meals were perfect, and the service was great. Along with the great atmosphere they had a band playing which is always a bonus. All in all we had a great dining experience and will absolutely be back here next year.

I have just dined in this restaurant tonight. I came in with a party of five for dinner.
We were told it’ll be a 20 – 25 minutes of a wait so we stepped over to the bar and ordered a round of drinks. Delicious.
After the 20 minute wait, we sat outside on the deck. The décor and the atmosphere was stunning. There was live music also. Our waitress, Amy I believe her name was, was extremely sweet. We ordered four filet mignons with potatoes and asparagus, one prime rib eye with whole potatoes and sautéed mixed greens, and a side of mushrooms sautéed with onions. Out of the five entrées, my filet mignon was delayed by 20 – 25 minutes. Amy kept on sincerely apologizing promising a free dessert. Although my meal came out when the rest of my party was almost done eating, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my steak and sides. The filet was seasoned and broiled to perfection, the potatoes were not too heavy with butter, and the asparagus was nicely steamed. The rest of my party agreed with the quality of the food.
Although no manager came over to apologize about this mistake, my whole entrée and dessert were taken care off.
I will definitely return in the near future.

Make sure to definitely check this place out. The food is amazing. I came here with my husband and had 3 different appetizers. All were amazing! absolutely need to try the Cuban fried oysters and the grilled oysters. In terms of raw oysters, the Cape may ones were awesome! Then we ordered the veal saffron however we asked for it to be a shared plate. It’s $ 5 extra however it’s worth it because the entrée is divided exactly in half. Both get equal portions of the main course or meat. The sides however are full sized sides for each plate. So needless to say it was better then ordering 2 entrees especially after having 3 appetizers! :-). So come here, order what I said to order from the appetizers and you’ll be happy. Oh, the veal was very very good. It was well seasoned and cooked just right. So yes I approve of the veal saffron as well. :-)

Ok, this was a nice find however bring a ton of money. Beautiful view and good service. I had a Rib Eye Steak, nothing special it was just a steak. They are known for their Martinis and mine was perfectly constructed. This is a place to bring someone to impress since it is more upscale then most places in Wildwood so save your pennies people.

Great food and drinks. The oysters are really good. The pineapple drinks are great.
We sat outside at the two seater on the dock. It was really nice in that you could see the boats come up and dock so that they could come to the restaurant. I had the pineapple upside down drink, which was awesome. They also had $ 25 specials that included a soup/​salad, entrée, and desert. I thought it was a great deal, so we had those. The wait staff is very nice. They started to set up for live entertainment, or music, and I thought that was nice as well. I found this by reading reviews on Unilocal and it was definitely worth the visit. I would recommend it.
The oysters were to die for. I recommend the local oysters. Oh and I almost forgot to mention, the bruschetta is offered while you wait for your meal. That tasted fantastic.

One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The sea bass was incredible! The flatbread shrimp was tasty and the calamari was excellent. Service was right on and drinks came fast when ordered. Portions are huge so be careful with apps. If you want a great meal and PAY for it, it’s worth it.

The negative reviews discouraged us but we trudged on anyway and went to Beach Creek and glad we did. Oysters were lovely (local from DE were our favorites). Service was wonderful too (thanks Kristin). Restaurant was pretty busy but we were seated immediately and our server was gracious and apologized when was knew she was away longer than typical. Drinks were yummy (Dark and Stormy and Pineapple Express) did the trick. And for entrees we had the crab cakes and filet. both awesome. We even did dessert, which is saying a lot considering this place isn’t cheap, but sitting in the deck outside near the water made us want to stay. Oh! Super family friendly too, I didn’t expect that considering the price point which was an indication to me that the dining experience was not to be missed.
A real gem in Wildwood!
