The Beach Creek Oyster Bar and Grill is a fabulous restaurant in Wildwood NJ. It is on the water so the views are great and you can go by boat. The servers are friendly and the food is fresh and delicious! They also take reservations and have an early dinner special. Also love the live music on the deck!

Went here with friends on a Saturday night. One hour plus wait but we had appetizers outside. Food was excellent. Fried calamari, raw oysters and lump crab appetizers started the dinner out exquisitely! I had the swordfish, which was excellent. Worth the wait!

We visited Beach Creek for an early dinner to take advantage of their "First Seating", as they like to call their Early Bird Special. We had our choice of seating and decided to eat on the outside deck overlooking the harbor. Very picturesque. Our waitress was wonderful - friendly but not too friendly.

We looked over the regular menu - saw some nice ideas. But this trip we were checking out Early Bird specials. BC's runs from 4 to 6pm, which is an hour longer than most. We made our choices and started out with a nice basket of italian style bread with a bowl of a brushetta mix of chooped tomatoes, onions, and other flavorings. A little messy to eat but delicious..

Our appetizers were a choice of soup or salad. I chose the tossed salad - greens, strawberries & spiced walnuts with some crumbled goat cheese and a balsamic-strawberry vinaigrette. Very tasty. My husband chose french onion soup ($2 upcharge) and declared it correctly made and yummy. On the regular menu, they also had a selection of oysters from different places but neither of us are oyster fans.

For entrees, he had braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and greens while I had an interesting take on Pork Florentine - breaded butterflied center cut pork chop topped with baby spinach leaves, caramelized pears, red onion, dried cherries, chopped pecans. His was definitely the winner - though the greens were a little bitter. My breading on the pork was a little too thick and the topping of the spinach salad with a acidic vinaigrette did not match well with the caramelized pears and dried cherries.

For dessert, i had the bread pudding and it was terrific. My husband had (again for a $3 upcharge) a banana layer cake. Also great. I believe they have their own dessert chef.

As we were eating, the place filled up and was packed when we left - besides the First Seating menu, another advantage to coming early to this spot is to get a table quickly. Even though it got busy, we had attentive service throughout the entire dinner. We saw other dishes being delivered and all looked very nicely done. The comments overhead were all complimentary.

Beach Creek has done a nice job with their music, atmosphere, food and drinks. The only complaint we ever have is when we have to deal with the manager, Colleen. She is rude and has no concept of customer service. She publicly berated my husband when he was spending several hundred dollars entertaining a dozen people for his mother's birthday. Another time she told us that 2 orders of crab cakes that were visibly different sizes were all exactly (her words) 3.5 ounces. I have worked in enough restaurants to know that is not possible. I guess I am too spoiled by the Southern hospitality at home and expected some similar treatment instead of the Jersey Bi**h.
