Maui's Dog House
Maui's Dog House is little family-owned "hot dog joint" and great place for quick bite or if you have little ones with you. This is no-frills outdoor dining, but if you want a hot dog with toppings that include homemade chili and sauerkraut cooked in beer, look no further. Maui's also serves burgers and fries as well as other Jersey shore staples. Maui's closes for the winter, so call ahead to be sure they are open in the off-season.

Westy's Irish Pub
Across the street from Flip Flopz is Westy's Irish Pub. Westy's has a deck with a lovely view of the ocean, but call ahead as the deck is sometimes closed for private parties. The atmosphere is that of an authentic Irish pub, but it also has a raw bar and seafood. Upstairs in the evening, Westy's often has live music and dancing.

Woody's Place
In 1906, the City of North Wildwood commissioned the construction of its first firehouse and, to make a long story short, that firehouse is now home to Woody's Place. You can see evidence of the firehouse as you dine or lounge at the bar. Woody's, a local favorite, has many beers on tap and a large menu of traditional American cuisine.
