Restaurant recommendations in/near Wildwood?

Hi ladies!  I'm usually on the NNJ boards, but this is more your realm...

FI and I are planning a "get away from everything" trip down to North Wildwood for a couple days next week.

Does anyone have any good restaurant recommendations for the area?  I'd love a mix of nice places and more casual spots.

TIA!

Gees where to begin. I used to live mainland to North wildwood and my FI and I frequent there even now being an hour and a half away. Here are my recomendations:
Pizza: Sam's Pizza 26th and the Boardwalk
or Mack's Pizza down by Schellenger on the Boardwalk
Restaurants: Gia 3001 Pacific Avenue, Wildwood, NJ‎ - (609) 729-5959 (nice quaint Italian restaurant)
Sunset Bay - 400 West Spruce Avenue, North Wildwood. Kinda expensive but if you sit out on the dock its a pretty nice experience and the food is great.
La Piazza - 4600 Pacific Avenue, wildwood. great food, but you need a reservation, they get swamped.
Urie's Waterfront - 588 West Rio Grande Avenue,Wildwood. Good food at reasonable prices and you can sit out on their dock, but that also gets really crowded. reservations recomeded. All you can eat crabs legs.

Ice cream: Marcella's - Sweetbriar and New Jersey Avenue, Wildwood Crest. great Gelato, coffee and desserts!

Sandwiches/Hoagie's: Russo's 9th and Ocean. Call ahead.
Deangelis Italian Deli 7th and New jersey Ave. Great roast pork, meatballs, etc.

Bars: Olde New Jersey Ave is one stop shopping as far as bars go. Keenan's, Flip Flops, and much more!

FYI - JP Prime's went out of business I believe We were down the weekend before last and another business was there.
Same owner of Juan Pablo's, but  I think that is still there.

Also - I thought of another Ice Cream place - Cool Scoops!

1111 New Jersey Avenue, North Wildwood, NJ‎ - (609) 729-2665‎
great classic ice cream and milkshakes. Cool cadilac booths too!

Oh no! Thanks for the info   We went there last summer & FI and I still talk about the bacon-wrapped kobe meatloaf we had! LOL!

I was just at the new restaurant that replaced JP Prime.  It's called Banana Jack Murphy's.  They have burgers and salads.  They also have a spiked milkshake menu.  Food was good.  I didn't try the milkshakes.  Most of their menu is under $10.

Another of my favorite places is the Wharf on Burk Ave.  Sit out on the deck on the water and listen to music.

BEST place for ice cream is Duffer's (I forget crossroads but I think it's Pacific and Cresse).  The sundaes are HUGE (and the ice cream is homemade)

Nino's in North WIldwood is also good for Italian.  It is BYOB and the portions are huge.

There are so many places to choose from!  If you want to go a little pricey, Marie Nicoles in Wildwood Crest (right around Jefferson & Pacific) is delicious!

If you want to cross the Cape May Bridge, the Lobster House (eating on the deck) is great.  I love their crab soup and their broiled crab cakes.

sams pizza is the best! my favorite restaurant was the ravioli house and the boathouse early bird specials are good

For nicer, I like Nino's and Alfe's. Both delicious Italian restaurants. 

Casual, Rick's if you want take-out seafood, or Flip FLopz has good bar food.

I've been going to North WIldwood for 30 years, and we usually eat our way through the town!
