Wildwoods December Restaurant Week
- Town: The Wildwoods
- Where: Participating restaurants across the Wildwoods
- When: Friday, November 27 to Sunday, December 6, 2026
- Cost: Set prix fixe prices for breakfast, lunch and dinner at each participating restaurant
The Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce presents Wildwoods Restaurant Week several times a year, and the December edition lands right in the middle of the holiday season. The idea is simple: participating restaurants put together special prix fixe menus at a set price, so you can try a new spot or return to an old favorite for less. The lineup typically ranges from fresh seafood and steaks to international dishes and classic boardwalk favorites, in everything from cozy dining rooms to lively family restaurants.
How to plan your Restaurant Week
The full list of participating restaurants and their menus is posted at WildwoodsRestaurantWeek.com, and the Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce can answer questions at 609-729-4000. Menus and prices are set for each meal, so check the list before you go and look at the hours, since some restaurants keep shorter schedules after the summer season.
A few tips to get the most out of the ten days:
- Book ahead for dinner on the Friday and Saturday nights, especially over Thanksgiving weekend when families are in town.
- Use breakfast and lunch to try more places. The daytime prix fixe menus are an easy way to sample a restaurant you have never tried.
- Pair dinner with a holiday event. Christmas in North Wildwood runs November 27 to 29, and the Wildwoods Holiday Spectacular plays the Wildwoods Convention Center on Saturday, December 5.
- Support the restaurants that stay open after summer. Off-season business matters to the local places that serve the island all year.
Why December is a great time to eat in the Wildwoods
Summer gets the crowds, but early December may be the best time to eat on the island. Parking is easier, the pace is slower, and many kitchens put out their heartier cold-weather dishes. With holiday lights going up across the Wildwoods, a Restaurant Week dinner followed by a walk through the decorations makes a relaxed night out for locals and visitors alike.
Restaurant Week is also a good excuse to get a group together. Holiday get-togethers with coworkers, friends or visiting family are easier to plan when the price is set ahead of time, and a prix fixe menu means no one has to puzzle over the bill at the end of the night. If you are planning for a larger table, call the restaurant directly to ask about reservations for your group.
