Kelly’s Cafe in Wildwood was sold and will now be The Copper Dog Restaurant located at 4400 Atlantic Ave.

Decades of experience in South Jersey’s hospitality scene led two Wildwood natives homeward bound. Copper Dog is our debut together in the town we grew up in.

Located in Wildwood, New Jersey, steps from Wildwood’s boardwalk, beaches, and convention center, Copper Dog will open our indoor and outdoor dining restaurant to families and old friends in May 2023.

Our namesake pays tribute to our own copper dog, Vivian. We’d love to extend an invite to your well-behaved four-legged family members, who are welcome to join us at our dog friendly restaurant outdoor dining area in Wildwood.

Our menu features something for everyone—from appetizers like wings, calamari, and charcuterie boards, to sushi or fresh salads with locally sourced produce, to sandwich staples like cheesesteaks and burgers. Join us for supper starting at 4PM, which includes Maryland style crab cakes and herb roasted rotisserie chicken, made in-house daily.

To pay homage to our Italian roots, we’ll be serving pizzas fresh out of the oven, using the freshest ingredients along with flavorful Italian cuisine.

Grab a spot at our 18-seat indoor or outdoor bar to catch live entertainment from local artists you know and love. Sip on a glass of wine from our 600-bottle collection, showcased in a library as you enter from Atlantic Avenue.
