North End American Grill

If you’re looking for a “California Cool” escape right in the heart of the North Wildwood entertainment district, North End American Grill is your destination. Situated on Olde New Jersey Avenue, this spot has spent over a decade perfecting the art of the laid-back Jersey Shore experience. It’s the kind of place where the salt air meets a Southern California vibe, offering a refreshing departure from the traditional boardwalk fare with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and “avant-garde” coastal cuisine.

Opened in 2012, North End American Grill was designed to bring a bit of West Coast flair to South Jersey. Whether you’re stopping in for their famous weekend brunch or settling into the patio for a late-night set of live music, the atmosphere is consistently warm, inviting, and unpretentious. It’s a multi-level social hub that manages to feel like a hidden gem even when it’s the center of the party.

Features & Highlights

The heartbeat of North End is its Spacious Covered Patio. It is easily one of the best spots in North Wildwood to enjoy a meal in the fresh air, complete with overhead fans for those humid summer afternoons. For those who prefer to be in the center of the action, the Indoor & Outdoor Bars provide the perfect vantage point for catching the game or watching the nightly entertainment.

The menu is a standout, leaning heavily into high-quality seafood and creative American comfort. Enthusiasts frequently rave about the Grilled Fish Tacos with mango-pineapple salsa and the Crab Cake BLT. If you’re a wing fan, their signature Northend Wings are a must-try local favorite. For those looking for a deal, they boast one of the island’s best Happy Hours (4-7 PM daily) featuring half-price well drinks and aggressive appetizer specials. With live music nightly on the patio during peak season, it’s a total sensory experience that captures the best of the shore.
