Restaurants in Cape May

“We had an absolute perfect dining experience. Each course was outstanding. Peach & Burrata salad, delicious. Scallops perfectly done and chocolate panna cotta so good. Loved every thing about Grana BYOB.”

“Love everything about this restaurant from views, service and of course food choices. Tonight we started off with the Lobster ravioli appetizer in a shallot sauce, followed by a house salad and then we split the filet and lobster tail. The quality of food is amazing and we always enjoy our meals at Primal!”

“Super delish turkey bowls! Gravy was a little sweet for me and didn’t need the bacon but overall amazing.”

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.”

“We love James at the front of the house and the super talented chefs - such a unique and fun experience. Three of us had the vegetarian tasting menu and it was amazing! I wish there were more restaurants like this! Thank you!”

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!”

“First time in cricket club. Bar has nice vibe they were busy and the bartender was attentive. We all enjoyed our meals and desserts. Service was excellent never waited for our next dish. Will definitely be eating here again.”

“Robbie was the best server. Great experience and good food!”

“I have now been to Behr Brewing on several occasions, I like it's quaint and relaxed atmosphere...but mostly I like the beer, I'm not sure how I would describe my pallet but my visits to numerous other breweries I often taste beers that just aren't for me. I can honestly say every time I have visited Behr all of the beers I have tried are very drinkable and I have enjoyed every single batch. very satisfying for sure.”

“Always go when in Cape May…fabulous food”

“our server, jennifer, was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, efficient and one of the best servers i ever had. Sean, the manager and sommelier was so knowledgeable about wine and gave us great a recommendation on an exquisite bottle of wine, which paired perfectly with our dinner. this restaurant surpassed our expectations”

“PRIMAL in Cape May offers an exceptional dining experience! . As a first-time visitor during the off-season, I was truly impressed by both the outstanding service and the remarkable food. Chef Mia and her team deliver on quality, quantity, and value.

The meal started with complimentary fresh-made bread, followed by a delightful house salad. The main courses—filet, halibut, and a lobster/scallop appetizer in the shallot cream sauce—were all flavorful and cooked to perfection. And the Truffle Yukon mashed potatoes? Simply the best I’ve ever had. Dessert was a tower of homemade cookies surrounded by fresh fruit and decadent vanilla icing.

PRIMAL is a standout gem in Cape May, offering an unforgettable dining experience that combines exceptional service, expertly crafted dishes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or visiting during the off-season, this restaurant is a must-try. Chef Mia and her team have truly set the bar high—an experience worth savoring from start to finish!”

“the iced vanilla bean latte is amazing!!”

“Continues to be a top restaurant in Cape May. Food was great as usual. Service is always top notch. We had the baked oysters and escargot appetizers. The strip steak and filet were both cooked perfectly and both had such different flavors. Always a great experience.”

“I could not leave the store without buying multiple flavors! The purchase was definitely worth it! THEY'RE SO GOOD!!!!!”

“Awesome coffee! Great chocolate croissant, awesome scones everything is fresh!!”

“GREAT FOOD and great service!”

“Always good!!They do a great job!! The best!!”

“I went in tonight a little after closing and the guys were cleaning up. I asked if they wer3 closed and was told yes. When I asked if anyplace else sold lobster roll Will politely said he didnt know of any place. And was kind enough to make is 2 lobster rolls after closing. Delicious and generous portions. Thanks Will. We had a long day and this was the perfect ending after getting everyone settled in for the night.”

“Delicious freshly made custard, just a bit thicker than standard ice cream. Also doesn’t melt quite as quickly, which is nice in Summer. Just the plain chocolate is all I need, though they also have lots of sprinkles and stuff for those who wish.”

“Absolutely delicious! We stayed at La Mer and were very impressed by the food and staff. I wish I could’ve tried everything on the menu. I had the following: Octopus appetizer Avocado Toast Rigatoni Cape May eggs Benedict All fresh and delicious!!!”

“These are the best things ever!! In the summer you can’t get near the place because it’s so busy. The like is worth the wait! They have mail order and we have ordered three times! The more u order the better the price. This last time we ordered 24! The owner of this store is super nice and treats his employees so good! Def MUST HAVE!!”

“Had a birthday get together. The manager Dave was awesome, reserved a few tables for us and allowed us to keep the cake in the cooler so it wouldn't melt all over! The servers and bartenders were great as well! Thanks you for helping us create a great memory!”

“The wait staff needs to get their act together, always miserable & rude.”

“great menu very knowledgeable staff.”

“Five star food and five star service, very cozy and offer outside seating. One of Cape May's premier restaurant.”

“Don’t miss this great addition to your morning walk on the beach..before or after. Really good coffee, friendly staff, bright, cheery atmosphere. My new go to coffee shop when I am in town!”

“Yesterday we went to Cape May Winery with a bachelorette party group. We had a great experience from booking, too ordering our wine and enjoying our time in the lower cellar room. Special shout out to the amazing table of guests next to us that included 3 married couples that each had been married for over 25 years. They stopped at our table to give our bride-to-be some amazing wedding and successful marriage advice. It was a really special visit and I am so glad we chose to come here! 💜”

“Our favorite place to get ice cream! Great staff, great vibes and great ice cream💖”

“Really good, my teenage sons said it was the best burgers they ever had.”

“Great food and a beautiful setting to enjoy it!!!”

“We are vacationing in the area and love Mister Softee. We have had ice cream from the trucks but never saw a Mister Softee store. My daughter and I stopped in today and loved it!! We will be back. As usual the ice cream was delicious and the staff was extremely friendly. We loved looking and buying the additional merchandise they sold. It was the highlight of our trip to Cape May so far!!”

“When there is a line out the door on a hot summer night for an ice cream spot you get on the line & wait -- cause you know it's worth it! And we were right, a massive assortment of flavors & quite the substantial size cup -- all in all a perfect choice!”

“i really love this place with the exception of that one cashier in the retail section not the bakery. she is absolutely miserable, belligerent, and nasty. It's almost like she's jealous of the people spending their hard earned dollars. She needs to retire.”

“Excellent pizza! I have been in cape may a lot this is the best pizza I have found! My family’s go to for pizza!”

“The bread was very delicious. It was the best bread in the whole world! My mom said the vegetable side was mostly shredded cabbage and not great. My mom felt a little silly wearing the lobster bib. I don't know why though. She looked great! My brother said the food was very good, but he did not finish his burger because it was so big. My father also enjoyed his lobster meal as well.

“A friendly bartended is a good find; a friendly bartender who can make an expert cocktail is a great find. King Edward Bar delivers.”

“speedy, great service with no complaints! ben and jerry’s has a wide variety of flavors posted up on their wall before you come in as a little menu, which are all kosher and any dietary restrictions are clarified under the flavor — where non-dairy is separated under the color geeen and sorbet is separated in pink. the ice cream here is highly delicious and is hard to melt but it still doesn’t feel rock solid when you’re eating. the staff here are very polite and the introductory board for the employees is really cute :) i love the message that ben and jerry’s spreads with classic flavors that we all love!”

“Dario is the best. Love your White Russian friends”

“We had a great time at Stowaways. Pat was the best!”

“Great small town shop. They have a great selection of household and kitchen accessories. They have a good variety of foods as well and of course they have a whole section of coffee. They have a bunch of coffee to choose from and you can have it ground fresh in store if you like. The location in the heart of downtown Cape May shopping and it’s hard to miss. Parking can be limited depending on what time of the year you go but is not to difficult. We look forward to our nice trip in to Cape May to return and try some more fresh coffee!”

“EXCELLENT FROM SOUP TO NUTS !!!!”

“Dined there last September with friends and I was extremely impressed with not only the food ~ which was superb but the ambiance and the staff !!!! What can make or break and differentiate between good and GREAT is the staff ~ and the staff at the Ebbitt Room restaurant in the Virginia House B&B was superb. Even on a busy night the attention we received was perfect.”

“We arrived at this place when it was supposed to be open but really it was closed. It made me want to jump into the ocean without a life vest. It should be open all times of the year. This ruined my day completely. Goodbye.”

“We had such amazing dinners and service! We loved our server, Amir’s , humor and service. Everything was delicious and our grandsons were happy; They were served so quick! Meals were fantastic!”

“Yozu is a really great Japanese restaurant. Unlike most other restaurants in the area they stay open beyond 8:00 PM and gladly served me at 8:45 PM. Their salmon teriyaki and Long Island Rolls are great. The prices are reasonable and they offer hibachi. I’ll be back here when I come back to Cape May for vacation in the summertime.”

“I ordered a veggie burger & sweet potato fries, pretty much my go-to at a pizza place. It was tasty but better than anywhere else because of the experience. I saw you give away food to someone in need, I saw you show compassion & kindness. I will support this business in the future! “On the way to Cape May” ❤️”

“Great food, great time, and great service! Shannon is an awesome hostess. Definitely will be coming back!”

“Great spot to hydrate along the Cold Spring Bike path. Was biking along the trail and stopped in for some cold beer. Ended up getting a Hazy IPA which was tasty. Off all the breweriesin the area, I thinkthe ambiance is my favorite, being it is located in an old barn that is now part of Cold Spring Village. Overalla nice stop if you are doing the brewery thing while down in the area.”

“Always a great time! Love the Atmosphere!!”

“After a week long stay in July in Cape May we were basically on the hunt for a new ice cream spot nightly, it's hot & all you do in CM is walk everywhere! Entire Kohr Bros & you bet it hit the spot. Yummy frozen custard & since I'm a sucker for history knowing they've been around for over 100 yrs made me enjoy it all the more!”

“Staying in Cape May for 5 weeks had my first cheese steak & I picked up a good one had it tonite ( 7/7/2025 being a Philly guy I know my steaks very good I highly recommend their sandwiches.”

“Are first time very good now I can see why you are so busy will be planting on my social media and tell everyone to go n get breakfast there”

“awesome definitely will be back!”

“Fresh and interesting menu. Everything we had was perfect. Smoked salmon and noodle aps were both great starters to share. Scallops, crab cakes, swordfish entrees were delicious. The desserts were lovely and generous portions. Not surprised to hear that this is a perennial favorite for many regulars.”

“We had a wonderful meal tonight. Staff was friendly & the food was fantastic. We left telling our waiter we'd be back later this week. Highly recommend this fun bar & grill! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“Stop in every morning I'm in Cape May. Coffee is always very good and the staff are always smiling and friendly.”

“We stopped in the Brown Room for a quick bite to eat and a couple of cocktails. We arrived at brunch time, and didn't want to wait for the full restaurant, so we slipped in here, and we were not disappointed!! Fantastic cocktails, and delicious lobster rolls!! Highly recommend a visit!”

“It was our anniversary, so while it was expensive, we didn’t mind the splurge… plus it was a really hot evening!! We were happy that they offered vegan whipped cream too!!!”

“7 family members had crepes and we all enjoyed them !”

“If you can’t decide if you want Mexican food or lots of seafood like you would expect from a shore town restaurant, eat at 5 De Mayo. You can get both. Great salsa. Good scallops and shrimp. Great fajitas. Great enchiladas.”

“Freshly made, quality food. Fried oysters were huge and cooked to perfection. Great choice!”

“Solid, well-balanced pizza with a slightly crispy, perfectly chewy crust—I actually found the crust was my favorite part, which says more about the dough than the toppings. We ordered a little before 5pm and it was ready in about 15 minutes. I also ordered buffalo wings just for a bit of variety, and while I appreciate they came un-sauced to keep them crispy, they were pretty basic pizza shop wings that came with a sad, warm packet of Ken's Blue Cheese dressing (I'm not sure where the extra side of blue cheese I paid .50 for ended up). All-in-all, not bad for being on the mall and within close walking distance.”

“Absolutely amazing coffee shop, location and staff!”

“First time customers and could not be happier. Wow, just Wow...... this will be a go to place going forward when we are down the shore”

“Excellent food and service”

“My husband and I come to Cape May every year for our anniversary we have our favorite places that we love to visit this was our first visit to Pacino's bistro and we went back the night after to pick up again!!! The food was phenomenal and the wait staff were very hard working and friendly!!! I am server myself and this not an easy job but they were excellent. The ambiance in restaurant made the experience that much better. Cannot say enough good things about this establishment!”

“Nice local place, off the beaten path that deserves a visit.
The staff is welcoming and friendly and the food is plentiful and delicious. What more can you ask for?”

“We love Port. Always a great breeze and view at the outdoor bar. Drinks, salads, seafood, oysters, and sushi are just perfect. And, Luke is one of the nicest and friendliest bartenders in the CM area. We will be back.”

“Always a great experience awesome bartenders and food”

“our meal was excellent. The Scallop and risotto appetizer was done to perfection. The Sirloin steak was prepared just as ordered. The service was excellent. The only complaint was the extreme noise level. Conversation at the table was difficult with all the background noise. We would recommend going after 7pm”

“3 of us had dinner and we were pleased. We had fish and chips and Irish meatloaf. Very good entrees. It’s very busy, but still has the feel of your neighborhood bar/restaurant. Very friendly staff.”

“Our first time at Secondo, but it won’t be our last. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. The bar area was fun. Such a hidden gem!!! Looking forward to returning soon.”

“Beautiful Victorian wrap.aroumd porch deck with two.outdoor bars,.one large indoor wooden bar, plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Great menu. Good vegan options as well.”

“Just landed in Cape May looking for a place to grab a quick bite we stopped at the ugly mug in Cape May. The service was excellent. The crabcakes had so much crab in them that I could not finish them. Their coleslaw is excellent out of a 10 I would give this old-time Kate Bay Restaurant 10 out of 10.”

“Quick service and great fresh food.”
