Reviews of Red Oak Restaurant (Restaurant)

lisset vasquez

They had good food just missing more flavor.

Courtney Lesher

Great food, GREAT Service, cheap price! We were a little hesitant to try at first due to some of the negative reviews, but we had a really good experience. The owner was very nice as well.

Aela Evans

Was nasty

Linda Pinder

Great food and excellent service

Teresa Belcher

New place recommend edby a friend. Such a large menu to choose fun. Everything we ordered was so enjoyable. So we've been back several times to try different items different times so good

Loretta McGlory

Our experience was a good one. The food was hot, but you know it was from boxes. The staff was very nice and efficient. Carmen was great. She was quick to explain anything and to rid the table of excess plates, etc.

Jennifer Pitta

Excellent buffet! Plenty of options !! Will definitely return!

Tara Fisher

I have been coming here for over 40 years and always enjoy the buffet! A great variety of food for a great price. I was in for brunch and a dinner and left satisfied both times!

Stucco Pros

Good selection, good price, good food

Deanna Sherman

Great food

Bill VanNote

Always great and fresh breakfast. Very nice and polite staff that's why I've been coming here over 20 years and will continue as long as they're open.

David Alexander

It's ritual to visit this place after visiting the beach with my family. The owner has spoken with me on a number of occasions, showing me that he really cares for what goes on in his establishment. Not the biggest buffet, but they don't slack on the quality of their food.

Jim Callan

They said land and sea buffet but we eat more seafood and steaks at our local Pennsylvania buffets.

lisa imler

We went there every day of my vacation ,2 times a day (Breakfast and Dinner),great food and very good service.

Morales

Decent price for food in a tourist area. Huge selection of food and out waitress was very polite. Definitely going back

Scott Fields

Inexpensive deliciousness!

Patrick McCarthy

Not accessable bathrooms. Built in the 70's. Could be a museum. All booths, No tables with chairs. The food was decent for the price. Limited desserts.

James G Hotchkiss

Great food. Good variety. A nice place to eat. Staff is friendly and provide good service.

Jennifer Palmerson

A reasonably priced dinner buffet. Food was good quality and kept fresh on the buffet. The fried shrimp was very good - thin batter over nicely sized shrimp. Grouper was delicious. Nice salad options. Desserts were puddings and cakes. Simple, but well made and tasty. Great for families.

Heather X

Really nice the food was amazing! And the waitress was really nice!

Myra Santiago

Good service, good food at a reasonable price

David Ayead

Not the best, but not the worst either.

Bill Aichroth

Enrico Noverati

Don't waste your money

Stephanie Eisenbise

GEO MASS

Good buffet fare.

jose martinez

Ok place to go once on vacation

Micah C Allen

Great food, cheap price and a warm family atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Jennifer Griffiths

I almost don't wanna tell anyone about this place because I don't want it to get too crowded! But it's our hands-down most favorite breakfast place in Wildwood. Heaping trays of fresh, hot food. Everything you want for breakfast and all you can eat. Bring an appetite!!!

J M

Server was nice but food was not great.

Patrick Rioux

A nice buffet restaurant. Staff was very friendly. Food selection was good. Price was even better. Just 2 blocks from the boardwalk, but you get better food and price than on the boardwalk.

michael MAWSON

great food and very friendly staff always fresh food and coffee

Peter Horvath

The Food was terrible. Don't waste your money coming to this place. Most of the food was bland. If you would like to know how to mess up buttered noodles ask the cooks at the red oak restaurant.

Charlie Newcomb

Been going here for years. The food the last two times has been awful. These people that say "the food is great" have never obviously had real food before. The food is bland, under heat lamps and dry. The staff can't smile if you tipped them a $100.

Phyllis Sprague

Buffet restaurant. Home made meatballs and sauce are good. Otherwise, okay food but not exceptional.

DoReMi Fabrications

Keep in mind that no buffet is 5 stars unless you are in Las Vegas. There are 4 star buffets that charge $25-$35 or more and the quality is usually commensurate. This place is $15 (less for kids). The quality of what you get for $15 is quite good. The shrimp are not the ones with a micro shrimp embedded in a half inch of breading. Are they 16-20s? No, but they are a nice size. I was blown away to see bbq beef ribs on the line. They were very tender and flavorful. The homemade meatballs were large and, if really homemade, fairly good (remember, everyone has their own take on meatballs and evaluating them is extremely subjective) Chicken fingers and nuggets, salads, wings, etc, all right for the price. I saw no spot empty waiting for food for more than a few seconds. Great place to take the kids. The manager was doing a great job orchestrating the chaos on what I understand was busy beyond their norm. Service staff was attentive. The one area that could use improvement was the desserts, although my mother and wife both thought the rice pudding was ok, a little added cinnamon would have been appreciated. Other desserts were unremarkable. Be aware this restaurant is not open year round...if you are coming off season, call first.

Lindsey Hines

It was OK. Slightly over priced food not the best but ok for $15. Every employee was uncomfortably awkward.

ViVa La Figa

$75 for 4 of us to eat. Food was ok I guess.. $7 for a lemonade was about the most I've ever paid for a lemonade. Think next time I'll find a spot outside of wildwood..

Jim Murphy

Great service. Very clean. Has ample parking. Great food for a small price. Get there early for faster seating.

don c

Dinner buffet was pretty good

Mike Diaz

The best breakfast buffet on the island. Food is awesome. The staff is friendly, and the price is not going to break your pockets. Very family friendly and homey feeling inside. I go every time I'm in Wildwood. Can't wait for next summer.

Christine McGovern, LMT

Great buffet breakfast.

Matthew Cressman

Go to down the shore buffet.

Diana Kenner

I love going to this restaurant the entire staff is so kind and pleasant. The food is delicious and everything is seasoned well. I love coming to this spot, if you have never been there you.must go. I have been bringing my family there since they were babies.

Bob Spuntak

Good food. Based on the web site I expected crab lags

Diane Diggs

Great selection and food is hot and delicious. Staff is friendly

Jamie

Alright guys, when I was here I saw a woman walk in, regard the buffet with her hangry eyes and say to the nice older woman at the front incredulously, "Um, is this it???" Yes, you rude woman, for $14.99 per person in the middle of a dying part of Wildwood, this is it. And it's not bad! The chicken wings here were darn delicious (I found myself craving them later in the week) and there were plenty other things to try if that's not your thing. This is one of those places that clearly hasn't been updated for 30+ years and the reason is because they don't need to as their business model ensures their success: they serve decent food at a reasonable prices and make it accessible to lots of people that are overpaying for their accomodations and entertainment.

Jeremy Lee

It's the perfect little buffet for family's with little ones or trying to fill up teenagers

Tony Hall

Been going since I can remember very great food always fresh and full

Ashley

Amazing breakfast buffet didn't make it there for dinner. They get pack quickly so get there early.

Evan Avgerinos

excellent fresh delicious buffet,

Rocking The Valley

Terribly managed.... One line for over 150 people. Wait wait wait.. don't come here hungry... Pack a lunch

Malinda King

Nice place to eat at with family when in Wildwood. They have a lot to pick from. I got full before I could try it all.

Deborah Kimbel

Loved it went for Dinner an Breakfast great service.

Janae's Life

The buffet said it had over 60 or 65 items, but I think that number includes dressings and salad toppings because there did not seem to be many items to choose from. The kids prices are good, but it seems a little overpriced for the amount of food one actually eats as compared to a normal restaurant. I wish we had gone to a restaurant or diner instead. We had a group of 8, but they had to split us into 2 groups of 4. The tables were close by, so it was of no concern to us, but it might be to people who go out to dinner with the intent of eating together. The kids seemed to appreciate it. Generally speaking the restaurant was clean-- absent our table which had water leaking from the ceiling onto the table and into the booth, even once into the plate of food. Would not go back, but it was not a terrible experience.

Nikkia Parnell

Very reasonable and food was good.

Jay Dolby

We ate here for breakfast one morning and it was a great buffet! I got my moneys worth here! The waitress was nice and the buffet was always stocked with all your favorite breakfast foods!

Jay Jay

The food at this place was amazing.

Tyrone Roberson

Fair buffet, can feed family on the cheap.

angelica rodriguez

Great buffet that's family run. Very pleasant staff and not too far from the boardwalk!

alexxus Vargas

While on vacation we found a discount card in our hotel and decided to come here for dinner. The food was so good, and all was hot and fresh! They had a ton of Options and everything was so good! In fact we came here for the breakfast buffet also while here... it was smaller but still very good and everything was fresh too! Will highly recommend!!

Harold Villegas

Clean place, good selection (breakfast), nice and friendly staff, parking lot. Beverages no included on price.

Richard Showman

This is a really good mom and pop shop buffet. Food was really good had a wide variety of food. Service was excellent

milton warren

The food was great.

Gymnastic_dork06

tasted like school lunch not good food don't recommend 0 stars. left to a different place. didn't even eat a plate of food

Tim Miller

Only did breakfast buffet. 30 plus food items to choose from. I had cream chopped beef, potatoes and scrambled eggs. All cooked very well.

Udaman None

Very poor food qualiry

Terri Mori

We are from out of town, 4 of us enter, the man at the front had us wait for a woman to seat us. She sat us and walked away..... Not sure what to do next, I asked the man at the counter. Who said "just sit". The waitress finally came to get our drink order. I was unable to understand what she said, so I asked her to repeat it. She began her attitudde at that point. It only got worse when I requested a refill. She, at this point, walked away from me, so I again approach the man at the counter. He again told me to wait. Then the waitress berrated Me about how rude I was and kept coming back to our table to make snide comments. I finally told her good day and left. My family remains in the resteraunt. The food was average, nothing to swoon over. Basic shotty service. Will not be back.

Danielle Buck

The food was good and our server was very nice and the price wasn't bad. They lose stars because they have no disability accessible bathrooms. The ladies room is quite small and there is no handicap stall. The restaurant entrance and exit are ramped but disabled people are just like abled people when enjoying food and beverage they sometimes need to use bathroom facilities and it would be impossible for many with disabilities to do that here. If you have no one with disabilities in your party by all means give them a try the food is good if you do you might want to reconsider.

Angela Lim

carbs on carbs on carbs... literally ate 1 plate and was already stuffed (didn’t have dessert as well). Left very very unsatisfied! Waitresses are nice but have a slight rudeness to them. Price was ok, but your paying for greasy foods and a small salad bar...nothing seemed to be fresh. You should probably spend a little more at a different buffet.

Peter Polanco

the food served here can be found in the microwaved food section in walmart

Joseph Zaleznack

For 8.99 you cant go wrong with the breakfast buffet eggs were real and not overcooked its a great deal

William McIntyre

Plenty of selection.. excellent food

George Lorenz

The food was very good

Steven Turner II

Very crowded place for breakfast. My party of 5 was seated in less than 5 minutes. Food was decent, great price point for the area. Helpful staff.

Debbie Lusco

Very clean, delicious variety of foods and desserts and owners are very nice.

Peter Koczarski

Well put together restaurant with a good variety of food. There isn't much to complain about and the price is pretty reasonable for a dinner buffet. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a reasonably-priced buffet.

Justin Henderson

Even for 15 dollars just go to the boardwalk for food, nugs were good tho

Miss Trina

I've only been here for breakfast so I can't speak about lunch or dinner but my overall experience was pretty good. Good price for the buffet. I came here with my husband and my 2 kids. My family enjoyed the food. We ate here every morning for the 5 days that we stayed. The waitresses were very nice and polite. I've been coming to this place for a few years now and I'll come here everytime that I visit Wildwood. The waffles were really good. I would definitely recommend this place. Nice and friendly establishment.

Allison Jordan

The food was terrible. I can’t even begin to describe. My family and I ate here for their seafood buffet dinner. What a mistake! Nothing and I mean nothing had any flavor or seasoning. The food was bland. I can’t say even one good thing about this place. What a waste of money. We went to the boardwalk and ate pizza afterwards. It was gourmet compared to this place. Absolutely horrible! This place needs negative stars!

Nadine S. Roberts

The variety was great & the people there are So Nice!! Well worth the money - all you can eat buffet (breakfast)

April Kline

Nice buffet, nice price. Easy go to and close to the board walk

JoAnn Clemo

Nice, friendly atmosphere. Great food and price for a large family. Very clean and a huge selection for everyone.

Mike R.

My family and I like to come here every time we are in Wildwood. Great service, reasonable price, and a variety of food make it a great place to eat at.

Chad B

I'm not usually a buffet fan, but this place makes me reconsider. Food has always been good here and we especially like the breakfast buffet. And the staff is very friendly and family like.

Nicole Kodack

Huge breakfast selection. Fresh food. Great service.

Richie C

Wasn't there to eat...

Jordan Kembel

Went for breakfast and you get what you pay for. It's a 7.99 buffet so expectations weren't high. I found it very perplexing that the owner who was on his cell phone continued his conversation while steating us. I'd personally give the customers every bit of my attention if I were the owner. If the call was that important, he should have had another staff take over the hostessing. Not bad but not great, hence the 3 star rating.

Duane Pennypacker

Website says they are open. Go there and the doors are locked.

Ricardo Catarino

Very nice taste food

Samuel Wolfolk

Good food & service. GREAT PRICES!

Bob Synder

This place is very crowded with bad lighting and bad service. The mussels were nasty and the deserts were a joke. Wouldn’t recommend.

Lee Fugitt

This is the best "all you can eat" place in Wildwood. The food is about as good as it gets at any buffet-style restaurant. The place is clean and the staff is friendly.

Mike Maskell

There desserts and salad if the only thing good. I guess mostly all there customers are older so some food sits in liquid an ruins it's crispy outside so soft teeth can chew. Totally waste of forty bucks for two people.

Martha Tilli

We love red oak always enjoy your breakfast as well as your dinner buffet. Family always agrees to 100 % to coming to your place no did agreements. It s not a complete vacation without your place.

evona vanelli

Ask server if I could have a seperate check from the coue I was with. She said no! He would split at checkout..when paying out at register. Who I believe to be the owner was angry about me asking to pay my own bill. He pointed to a sign that said no split check. He said we r to busy for this. And the whole staff had the get them in and get out attitudes. Fair priced buffet but poor professionalism and courtesy to customers. I would not go back

Louis Gaudry

The buffet will do the job for a hungry family. Food is just ok. Staff is great. The strong point is the price. All you can eat dinner for 14 dollars is hard to beat in Wildwood. If you go after 8 PM you can leave your car on their lot for free and go to the boardwalk (Morey's Pier is a only a block away).

Michele Cross gh

High prices food not made fresh chicken nuggets are mystery meat and microwaved meatballs not fresh salad dressing mixed with water to make more salad dressing giving it a very watery taste rather than just buying more ..Food very bland simply not good.if I could give this place no stars I would... Gordon Ramsey this place needs you

Jackie Lawson

We go here every time we visit Wildwood food is great and fresh

Mike Barbosa

Best place to eat in Wildwood

Jillian Hoffman

After a local recommended this restaurant, my family ate here for breakfast and loved their food! Staff was great and good selection of food. Next time we come to Wildwood, I want to try their dinner buffet.

Lydia Cowher

Nice that it was a buffet. Food was mediocre at best. Decor is a bit dated. Great location and service was amazing!

George Paxson

Really nice. Buffet. Nice. Owners

Kayden and nana vogging

It sucked and it was ice cold

Juan F.

Excellent price for good food. And if you compare it is the best deal in town-

yvette cardona

If I could I would give one less star I would. I came with my entire family and at the door they claimed they were “closed” yet there were people eating. Now I’m not sure if it was due to us being Hispanic, I would hope not but there was 10 of us which would have meant good business for them. Sadly this left a horrible taste in our mouth. We come yearly to the boardwalk as a family. Disappointed.

Gregory McConnell

Place had good food and nice staff

DANIEL GONZALEZ

Subpar food with little flavor which is a little less than bland. Crab cakes are something but not crab and I’m not sure what they are except that I would not recommend. I gave 3 stars generously but honestly I would not recommend. Food was suspect but waitress was on point.

Samantha Martin

Love the buffet. Soups, salad bar including pasta salads macaroni and potatoe, veggies, sea food, wings, dessert bar and more. Highly recommend this buffet.

mike miller

Pretty decent food for the price

Alan Fisgaer

My daughters and I tried this restaurant for the first time. Let me tell you it was absolutely delicious. They seemed to have everything we like for a dinner buffet. The staff were extremely polite and professional. The bathrooms were so clean that you could eat off the floors and even the toilets. We will definitely be back to eat again, next time where back in the area.

Mark Arcuri

You can eat as much as you like which is good so you make your money's worth but the food is bald, watery,rubbery, and overall made cheaply. Not recommended for picky eaters

mark milberger

This is a location that my fiance and I enjoy going to whenever we're in town. Not only is the food good but the whole staff is friendly and courtesy.we have been there for lunch and dinners but today was the first time we had their breakfast can I must say that it was very tasty and enjoyable.

MrsSomebody

Excellent American fare. Lots is seafood. It's all very fresh. Great for the whole family. $15.00 all you can eat

Pokemonkiller90

Awesome service for a buffet not sure of the cost because I was treated to breakfast but staff are really friendly

Anthony Magazino

Breakfast buffet was good!

Mari 1

Been coming here for years great place

Steve Elko

Lots of variety and good prices for their all you can eat buffet. Go early because the place gets packed. Food is very good and little kids eat free.

Marla Brugger

Great food at a great price.

Danielle Donnelly

Great place only complaint was they donot refill drinks

jason ragno

Good array of decent breakfast foods from eggs, pancakes, waffles, to all the breakfast meats including Scrapple!!!!!!! Couldn't beat the price and was well worth it. Definitely got my money's worth. Also, I left a $200 pair of sunglasses and they were there when I called hours later. They also let me come back during closing hours to get them. Will definitely go back!

Jace Blais

Very good breakfast...clean I recommand

Baldeagle 68

We ate breakfast and lunch at this buffet place on 7/22/18 and the food was excellent! First time there it was worth the trip. If you're in New Jersey eat here you will be full when you leave when you will not go wrong

John trautz

Not bad a lol pricey and the good was stringy and dried out

Zachary Herb

It’s the kind of buffet that makes you regret your choice to go to a buffet. Mediocre, greasy food piled into pans and left to sit waiting for someone hungry enough to overlook quality. Additionally, general cleanliness and hospitality aren’t focal points for the staff. In all fairness, the price point reflects this quality so I don’t fault large families just looking for a cheap eat. However, my own childhood memories of this place aren’t enough to justify another visit as an adult.

Scott Barron

Best breakfast buffet around! $7.99 plus your drink for all you can eat goodness. Dinner is great also, for $13.99, I believe.

Tracy Rolax

The food was very good

Kyle Harper

Always great for years now great customer service and good food.

mike r

Omg horrible food .... Do yourself a favor and avoid.... On the upside the fountain Pepsi was good ....

Malaya Lane-harris

This place is overpriced and the foodbwasnt even good. Hoping the breakfast buffet will be better

Maria Oliver

Worth the price. It is hard to find something affordable in Wildwood. I have been there 2 x and I enjoyed both experiences. The waitresses are sweet. Food is good, nice selection. I enjoyed breakfast more than dinner.

Edward G Cramer

Nice tasting food, deserts are somewhat lacking in choices, waitresses excellent

S S

Good breakfast buffet!

Harry Crossgrove

Great food and selection for the price

Meghan-Kathleen McCormick

Great all you can eat buffets breakfast and dinner. haven't visited for lunch but the food was great, awesome service and SO clean. many home made choices!

Tino Manzo

Nice restaurant, food was good and lots of variety. Very clean restaurant and staff was great and prompt. Cozy buffet.

Sabrina Weldon

Def worth it if you have a large family good prices

Kathy Jo Wilson

Very nice, family friendly, clean buffet. There is a nice variety of foods from which to choose, as well as friendly, personable service. Would definitely return!

kim Lavin

We tried this out because it was close and food was good. I liked that they had omelets out not just scrambled eggs. Very affordable.

Jill Horn

Food is always good and people are always friendly I love it there every time me and my family come down to the shore we r here every morning :) I have been doing this since I was a kid now my kid does the same she loveeessss the bacon lol

Joseph Brach

Great Food. A large selection on the buffet.

Shawn Howes

Red Oak is a very nice place to eat breakfast! Buffet style food options; eggs, meats, breads. Wait staff is very nice and takes plates away as soon as you're done. Very clean. My favorite is the French Toast! Highly recommended!

r S

Great food great place have eaten there for well over 10 years never a problem

kevin Estrada

This place just brings me so many childhood memories of great times on vacation and amazing food. For the price you can’t beat it and the owners are such great people with great staff.

Christina Davis

Really good food!! Chicken and rice soup was the best I’ve ever had...obviously homemade.

Luis Laboy

A must visit when in wildwood

Wilhelmina Kern

I lover everything the deserts were so good. My mouth waters thinking about how delicious it was.

zumba abs

It was ok, food needs more season

Tom Fleetwood

ALWAYS good food

Stephen Ward

Food was pretty good,wish they had more seafood but not bad. Really friendly staff.

Keyaira Douglass

Wonderful prices alot of different selection of food to pick from. Theres something for everyone

Jonathan Bates

Good food for the price. Excellent selections for children with classic staples like spaghetti, chicken nuggets, and ravioli.

Stephen Drabik

Absolutely horrible for dinner. I watched multiple parties leave to go to another restaurant, I wish I did. Bad cheap food, limited selection.

Amays M

Food was decent for the money. Breakfast is definitely better than the dinner buffet. Drink refills are not free, be careful or you could rack up and extra $20 on your bill!. Otherwise, its a great place to fill up before a long day!

Marissa Ricotta

To expensive for the type of food that u can microwave... disgusting

Mary Din

It's ok...the coffee is great. Our waitress was very nice. Food just basic. Probably won't go again...great price for breakfast in ww if you just want scrambled eggs and bacon...

jeff burnett

Best buffet in Wildwood! Great food and just off boardwalk on oak Street
