Royal Grille

Royal Grille is a beloved family-owned oceanfront restaurant nestled along the stunning Jersey Shore in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. Located directly on Ocean Avenue, this charming establishment offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, where diners can hear the gentle crash of waves while enjoying their meals. The restaurant is run by Jake Young, the great-grandson of Charles Young, who was one of Wildwood Crest's pioneering residents, making this a true generational family business with deep roots in the local community. The Young family has been an integral part of the Crest's history for decades, with Jake's father Richard and grandparents Bob and Ginny raising their 11 children in this very neighborhood. Three of those siblings, Chuck, Jim, and Pat, operated the Royal Grille for an impressive 30 seasons before passing the torch to Jake. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a relaxed beachside atmosphere, offering both indoor dining and outdoor patio seating perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze. Dinner service runs from 4:00pm to 9:00pm, six days a week (closed Tuesdays), and reservations are welcome through OpenTable. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor exploring the Jersey Shore, Royal Grille offers an authentic taste of coastal New Jersey hospitality with fresh, delicious American cuisine and unparalleled oceanfront views that capture the essence of summer dining on the Atlantic.
