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.”

“Amazing food! Quality, flavor and presentation were all beyond top notch! Definitely will be back soon”

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!”

“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.”

“Delicious hidden gem in Cape May!”

“This was our second time here, and it was just as good as the first. We got to have Sandy as our server. She always makes the experience great with her attention and charisma. We love the ambiance and fine dining here. We will gladly make the hour long trip just to come here!”

“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!”

“My wife & I stayed at Congress Hall Hotel. After a nice meal we decided to relax in the Brown Room there.

We just love LOVE the atmosphere here!! Lights dimly lit. Nice fire going in the fireplace. Staff kept logs on the fire to keep it just right.

Our server Michelle was awesome! She was professional, friendly and excellent service!! All with a big smile. The bartender made a perfect Old Fashioned drink. Don’t know who he was. Kudos to you.

Mike the guitar player was excellent. It was so cozy sitting in the lounge with a nice fire and listening to Mike’s playing. Wow!!! He played (& sang great)!!

Thank you Michelle, Mike & bartenders for making this such a memorable stay. Looking forward to a visit in the future.”

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great food, and fast! Had a single bun and my only regret was not getting three! My first time, definitely not my last - it’s now going to be a regular Cape May stop. Great eats!”

“This is our favorite place for breakfast!”

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

“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.”

“Servers were very nice! It’s byob and surprisingly good for dinner! Only a surprise because I’ve always been gor breakfast.”

“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!!”

“Amazing food. Super friendly staff. And Tommy is awesome. Took time to talk to us and made us feel like part of the family. We will definitely be back!”

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

“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! 💜”

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

“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.”

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

“Been Going for more than 25 years”

“We ordered the take out and ate in the back along the water. The food was good which is why I didn't get any photos 😅.
The crab cakes are good, but the butterfly shrip with Crab gives you the most bang for your buck IMO. You get 3 large shrimp and each shrimp seems to have 1/2 of a crab cake on it.

The snapper turtle soup was good but very salty.
There are 3 other resturants that share the same seating area so I would check them all out and see which you would like the most.”

“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.”

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

“The staff was wonderful! They were incredibly friendly and were quick with my ice cream. The cherry flavor wasn't as sweet as I expected but I shouldn't have expected it to be exactly like other cherry flavors I have had before 😅 would gladly go again”

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

“Me and my coworker stopped in for sandwiches and had a great conversation with the owner. The sandwiches were excellent and the conversation, even better! Next time I’m in town, I will be back!”

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

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

“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 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!”

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

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

“We visited today first day of the 2025 season. The atmosphere is awesome beach sand with tables and umbrellas, Large fire pits and a large outdoor bar. The weather was 65 and partly cloudy . The host was friendly and welcoming made us feel right at home. Our waiter Jamie was friendly, accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. He made us laugh and we never felt rushed his personality is on par! We had fried shrimp with sauces, and fried Mac and cheese balls with remoulade sauce and some cocktails. Everything was delicious. Can’t wait to come back later in the summer!”

“We’ve been waiting a long time to try this “hidden gem” although it’s not so hidden anymore as Philly Inky’s Craig Laban named it one of 20 places for seafood down the Jersey Shore this month. My wife had the famous scallops and thought they were delicious, reminded her of classic, fresh taste of the shore scallops from youth. My burger was good. Fries were tasty. Drinks were proper. Service was attentive. The scallops alone are reason to return.”

“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.”

“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”

“The outdoor area is beautiful. I really like that there are old recipes and styles that you don't see at a lot of places. There is always something interesting on tap. The history buff in me is a big fan. Their house made sasparilla is great for anyone who doesn't want beer, my wife and stepson really enjoy it.”

“"Cafe Nutella" , 713 Beach Ave., Cape May, NJ 08204, across the Convention Hall. Excellent Mediterranean Food you will not find anywhere in Cape May. Maybe you don't know that Cafe Nutella has a new owner and a new Restaurant. Master Chef Ahmed is an excellent cook, his specialty is Mediterranean Cuisine. I ate Oax Tail Tajine, Moroccan Specialty: Giant beef Oax Tail simmered for hours in house made j*** sauce, dried apricot topped with crispy onions. I also ate an Avocado Salad: Rich, creamy avocados, vibrant tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onions, and a fresh herb dressing. I can strongly recommend this Restaurant with all my heart; Ahmed, the Master Chef prepared the food with passion and a lot of knowledge. Very tasty, I had a great time., Ali”

“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 owner is a local teacher during the year and a crepe maker in the summer. The crepes are made before your eyes and the fruit is freshly cut. The smoothies and drinks are also delicious. He puts a lot of topping in one crepe. This is our go to for breakfast, brunch or breakfast for linner. Consistently delicious and made by a really nice guy. We are usually first on line Opening Day and make many crepe stops throughout the season. We’ve been in Cape May more than 30 years and recommend CHILL as among the best in Cape May. Not a tourist trap. ; )”

He was so kind, accommodating and truly just a great person. We stopped on our way out to let the manager Erik know how great Nick was. It wasn't just a thank you and move on...Erick, despite the place hopping took the time to ask us what we had...did we enjoy the menu...customer service all around was 150%. Highly recommend the rooftop, Crab Dip with homemade pita chips, Brisket Bites, Fish tacos and the very best Blood Orange margarita on the island!”

“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!”

“the chicken was pretty good. the one problem I had was I ordered a four-piece. usually when you order a 4-Piece chicken somewhere you get a wing a thigh a breast and a leg. what they gave me was two legs a wing and a thigh. the extra leg is not equal to a breast. it's much less food. so I kind of feel like they ripped me off. it doesn't specify what four pieces you get but there is a standard.”
