A trip to the Windrift is the perfect way to get in the shore mood after work on a Friday. Located at 80th and the beach, the Windrift overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and all the beachgoers who have come to enjoy it. Because of traffic, driving to the shore on a Friday afternoon can take up to two and a half hours. The best cure for the “sitting in traffic blues” is beach fries and beer. Lucky for us, the Windrift supplies both of these and more.
Last Friday I went to the Windrift with Shauna and my parents for some much needed relaxation after a rough Friday drive. I recommend the $5 beach fries and a $15 pitcher of Miller Lite. The fries are steak fries covered in seasoning and one order is enough for two people. We also ordered a buffalo chicken cheesesteak, beef nachos, and sliders for dinner. Everything was delicious, but be careful of how much you order. Everyone was so stuffed from the fries that we could barely touch our dinners.
In addition to great food, the Windrift also has excellent entertainment. Joey DeNoble of the band Gypsy Wisdom was playing a set while we were there. Joey is well known as an amazing singer and guitar player in the Philadelphia and South Jersey area. The set included everything from Nirvana to Elvis and other shore favorites. Gypsy Wisdom began playing after Joey and will be playing at the Windrift every Tuesday night this summer. Tuesday is also the Windrift’s famous wing night, so make sure to check it out.
