Reviews for Keenan's North Wildwood in North Wildwood, NJ

The inside bar in the off-season is great. The bartender (Danny) was very friendly and quick to refill our drinks. FYI we went... before the bevy of young people arrived. If you are older like us, you probably will want to leave by 8:00 or so on the weekend,unless you like hanging around with 20-somethings. Nothing against 20-somethings. Their energy levels are just too high for oldfarts like us ;-). Read more

Amazing people! Treated us like family. Kids had a blast at parade and security was helpful in allowing us to find our way.

One of our first times at Keenans and thoroughly enjoyed! Met with James, the chef, AND loved his goals for creating a more... inclusive menu than just "bar food". We sampled a cheese steak ~ that was THE BEST I have ever tasted! Then he brought out amac and cheese. AGAIN ~ NOT your average!! THE best again. He shared his secret in some of them. I won't share ~ go in andtry for yourselves!! Have fun Oct 2022 Read more

This is definitely one of the better spots to hang out. We didn't eat here so I don't know how good the food is but the outside... area is a great place to hang out. It's crowded (Irish weekend) but comfortable. It wasn't hard to get a drink even with thecrowd. I forget how expensive the drinks were but I'm pretty sure the were close to, if not the same as the Inlet (bar) whichwas way overpriced at $9 a beer. All in all it is a good place to hang out.

Always a good time. The band, The Corner Boys, was really entertaining. Though we didn't eat during this visit, the mussels and... fries are favorites. Read more

I never, I mean NEVER leave negative reviews. I?ve worked in numerous places where customer service is key, and have certainly... had to answer to my share of shortcomings when it comes to providing the guest with the experience they deserve. I get that oneindividual does not define a whole business, but the service received at this restaurant was unacceptable. Our server appearedto have no desire to be there from the start. When questions were asked about ?do you have? or when items were ordered thatwere out of stock, she responded every time with ?we don?t have that.? No ?I?m sorry?, no recommendations for similar items,just a ?hurry up and order something else? attitude. When a drink was spilled as she was setting it down, there was no apologyor ounce of empathy for the person who had beer spilled all over them. It was no ones fault, but the lack of compassion or carewas telling. Throughout the night, she seemed irritated and did not provide us with the service I would hope for (especiallyfor the money we spent). Some of our party had to leave before the others, and after we asked to split the check she respondedwith ?well, you should have told me that when you got here.? Despite efforts to explain the large table size with individualswho were continuing to stay for more food/drinks, she continued to respond in a rude manner and blame us, despite never askingus at the beginning how we would like our checks split. I?m not recommending anyone deter from visiting this pub, as it is afun environment and overall I do think it?s a place where people can enjoy themselves over food and drink. I don?t want anysort of compensation or apology. I just want the staff to treat people with understanding and compassion, which we did notreceive tonight. I would also recommend they start seating larger parties (or any party, really) by asking how they would likethe checks split, instead of waiting until the table is ready to pay to tell them there?s only o Read more

Was there for high school reunion. Good time catching up with people.

So we ate at the Neighborhood Grille, which is apart of the Keenan?s complex. First impression, I loved the decor and vibe. It... was packed for an event, so it was really hard to hear because the the space was overwhelmed by the amount of talking. Thetableware was trendy. We went for cocktails and dinner. First up, cocktails. The Blood Orange Palmer was out of this world. Wealso ordered Long Island Iced Teas and they were tight. I?ve learned that it?s best to order off the signature cocktail listbecause those the bartender can make well?everything else, not great. The food. Some people at the table had the Mahi MahiTacos, which they seemed to enjoy after the initial shock of only receiving two for 15 dollars. There was a lot of fish?stillfelt a little high because it didn?t come with a side. The burger was way under seasoned. It tasted lack luster and wasincredibly greasy. The smoked Gouda was the highlight on the burger. The bacon was a nice addition, but it needed more garlicaioli. The fries were fries. We also ordered the short rib nachos, Buffalo shrimp toast, and the Shrimp Scampi flatbread. Let mebreak it down. The nachos came with a generous amount of short ribs, but they had NO FLAVOR. Skip them. The Buffalo shrimp toasttasted like shrimp drowned it Franks Hot Sauce?like mouth burning hot and not it a good way. The bread was soggy because theamount of hot sauce was entirely overwhelming. The Shrimp scampi flatbread was pretty delicious! I was expecting it to be oily,but it wasn?t. The flatbread had a nice snap to it. The waitress was awesome. Very attentive and made okay recommendations, shehit it out of the park for the cocktail. If you?re looking for familiar food this is a good place to go, but it?s not going todeliver something you have never had before. Read more
