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.”

“We’ve been to Primal many times and we go all year round!! We went this past Saturday night. We had the same server last few times and as soon as we sat down he said, so sorry but the we’re out of the Yukon mashed…which is an excellent side we always get. We cried lol So we chose a different side. Our server comes back little while later with Yukon mashed Mia must’ve either just made for us or scraped from the pan 😂 So very nice!! Was delicious as always!! My son and I shared the porterhouse for 2 with lobster tail. My wife had the filet mignon. Excellent as always!!! Their 2 new apps…excellent!! They are so so nice at Primal and make us feel so comfortable all the time!! Thank you for another great meal!!! See you again soon!!!”

“Excellent service from Athena. Really good food. Still BYOB but now have Meadowcroft wines. Very nice wine very reasonably priced.”

“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 dined on Friday, 10.31.25 supporting the Cape May Restaurant Weekend. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Red Snapper Alla Plancha that was impeccably simmered in a tomato-saffron cream sauce along with the delectable additions of mussels, rock shrimp, creamer potatoes and confit fennel. I had the wonderful opportunity to sample the Grilled Duroc Pork Chop with aged gouda potato purée, ginger glazed vegetables, sherry wine cream sauce and seasonal mostarda that was done to absolute perfection. I haven't cleaned my plate like that for years! My wife echoed that it was one of the top three dinners that we have ever had as a couple....Our service was second to none from the expediters, bussers and our very warm and personable server, Anna, who just added to the overall dining experience. A five star event for sure!”

“Food, service and view excellent”

“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.”

“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!”

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

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

“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”

“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.”

“We love coming to Maison Bleue. We love their local fluke meunière, it's one of our favorites, and the staff is great from the hostess, who always remembers us when we come back, to the waiting staff.”

“the iced vanilla bean latte is amazing!!”

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

“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.”

“We mostly go for the ice cream!! Large portions And lots of toppings, friendly staff And most of all yummy”

“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!”

“Up front, I have to say I am biased about L.H. in Cape May, lol. I LOVE this place...partly for its oldskool vibe, the perfectly prepared Lobster every time, the amazing fresh yummy bread, & their stewed tomatoes. I have heard people say they were not impressed...but if anything is ever imperfect for me, its been some of the people working there. As a handicapped individual who uses a mobility scooter, I find some people are not as accommodating as others and their disdain of my condition gives them a resting B face. I'm sorry my handicap ♿️ makes them feel uncomfortable. I don't mind being relegated to an obscure corner as long as my food is wonderful and it always is. My last visit was extra nice...a woman steered me in the direction of the larger ladies room in the back, where although that DR was closed, I was allowed use of it. Sooo much easier than the front LR. Maybe the staff is getting nicer. I think most of the time, this place is hopping!!! Which can sometimes make employees stressed, so I give them that. I have had lovely experiences & not-so-much....but always, my food is awesome!”

“great menu very knowledgeable staff.”

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

“Very friendly staff, bright open atmosphere across from the beach. Food was good, quick service.”

“Been Going for more than 25 years”

“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! 💜”

“I was intrigued by the guy dressed up as Mr. Softee waving at cars daily even in the winter! I was finally curious enough to stop in. They don't have many vegan / non-dairy options but do have dole whip in either strawberry or pineapple.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“The store is located in the Washington Street Mall in Cape May, New Jersey. They offer a nice variety of flavors of ice cream. Hard ice cream, soft ice cream, shakes, sundaes 🍨, waffles 🧇 and other beverages are available. Indoor and outdoor seating is an option for customers. Friendly and helpful staff.”

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

“My husband and I have been visiting Cape May for years now, and we cannot understand how we waited this long to stop in the Oyster Bay Bar & Restaurant for dinner. We spent a few weeks in the area this year and had meals at the Oyster Bay Bar three times!! From our first visit, we felt so incredibly welcomed beginning with a nice chat with the hostess as we waited for our table. Just from that brief chat during our first visit, the same hostess greeted me by my name on our 2nd visit. I’m embarrassed to say that I cannot remember her name, but I will say that she was incredibly lovely and personable. Our server, Bobby, who took care of us on both our first and last visits, had a wonderful personality, sharing some tidbits with us of the history of the restaurant and with being local to the area, answered some of our questions about the holiday season in Cape May. Now, about the food…with each visit we tried something new and found each meal to be delicious and satisfying. Our favorite appetizer, which we had on all three visits, was the charbroiled oysters. Absolutely delightful!! The mix of the Parmesan cheese in the garlic butter….so very good!! My husband and I always like to do something special on our last night of vacation…and you guessed it, the Oyster Bay Bar was our choice for dinner! The lovely hostess greeted us once again and mentioned to the owner, Gary, that this was our third visit and that we chose this restaurant as our last dinner on vacation. Gary stopped by our table, after sending a complementary round of drinks to us, and spent time speaking with us. Knowing we were tossing the idea of a return visit during the holidays, he gave us his personal cell phone number to reach out to him for not only restaurant reservations but also if we had any other questions regarding the holiday visit. Never before, have I encountered such genuine kindness and graciousness in a visit to a restaurant establishment. I cannot stress to all who take the time to read this review that you most definitely must stop in the Oyster Bay Bar & Restaurant for a meal. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Gary, Bobby and the most loveliest hostess for adding to our vacation memories and experiences.”

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

“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!”

“EXCELLENT FROM SOUP TO NUTS !!!!”

“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.”

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

“We all tried the winter Cafe Menu. Nice offerings and everything was delicious. Our server, Theresa, was the best. Very knowledgeable and she provided excellent service!”

“Great food and the best coffee made by Chis. Can’t wait to come back and visit”

“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” ❤️”

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

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Very tasty pizza, and very kind staff who makes you feel welcome, taken care of, and most importantly well fed. We had a great conversation with the workers inside, and everyone had a great time. Thank you to the workers at Jojo's on 11/2/25 for cultivating a great experience!”

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

“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”

“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!”

“Excellent food and service”

“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?”

“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”

“Always a great experience awesome bartenders and food”

“Very good Irish pub, food was phenomenal I got the shepherd's pie which was super good wish I had more to go with me out the door, pricing was not terrible either was very quick service and gave us a quick bite for lunch with a couple of drinks.”

“Terrific food. And when we had a little problem with our table Manager Jackie went above and beyond to make it more than right. She did this with grace and professionalism. We’ll be back.”

“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.”

“We stopped by for drinks + apps on a less than bus afternoon in October- the weather was gorgeous so we sat outside. Some of the tables had signs directing you to the bar to order. Some did not. There seemed to be some miscommunication with a staff member and our table as well as a few other tables near us- setting the mood off less than pleasant. We then proceeded to find another staff member and inquire to the procedure of ordering drinks to which *that* staff member was helpful and seemed contradictory to the first one. All of this to suggest to management better training of staff and or more clear / permanent signs indicating the ROEs for the patio. Drinks were good.”

“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.”

“We celebrated our 53rd anniversary there tonight. They could not have been nicer to us. They treated us to a very special evening. Balloons at the table and complimentary champagne. They also treated us to a dessert of our choice. The food was delicious. I think we found our new favorite restaurant.”

“I will come back because I like the place but I just want to say that is has downgraded over the renovation.”
