50 Best American Restaurants near Cape May Ct Hse

“We threw a joint 60th/30th birthday bash at The Bellevue Tavern in their private room, and it was an absolute blast! The private room was gorgeous — big surround windows giving us tons of natural light, a dance floor, and tables that worked perfectly for groups from 4 to 10.
The staff crushed it, super attentive servers and a bartender who kept everyone happy… our signature cocktails were premade and ready to roll — no waiting in line!! The food was amazing, plentiful and delicious- especially the crab cakes. Plus, we got to bring in our own DJ and dance all night (though they would’ve piped in music if we wanted).
Special shout-out to Dennis, the owner, and his son, they were fantastic from the time of booking straight through to the very end of the party. They (along with the servers) constantly checked in during the night, totally hands-on and making sure everything ran smoothly, but never in an intrusive way. Our guests are still raving about it. If you’re looking for a spot to celebrate, this is the place. Bellevue Tavern nailed it!“

“Not only the best wings in wildwood but the whole east coast!!!!“

“This place is the real deal. The food was fantastic, the decor/environment was perfect for the beach. Our family cannot wait to return next year! I wish it was in my town! The staff was outstanding. The table we sat at was a shadow box type,it had shells and things for the kids (and us adults) to look at during our very short wait for food. 10/10.“

“I went to Lucky Bones on New Year’s Day, for lunch!! They did not disappoint!! Wed’s are Oyster day specials!! Had the best Ousters Rocketfellers!! Then I had the BOLT sandwich!’it was soo good!! Highly recommend Lucky Bones! Plus, I added point to my rewards card!!“

“After USCG graduation in Cape May we spent the afternoon along the boardwalk. Our new graduate wanted a cheeseburger so we happened upon the Doo Wop Diner. The waitress was one of the best we’ve ever had anywhere. She was kind, pleasant, attentive and made great food recommendations. All 6 of us had cheeseburgers with zero complaints. I recommend the fried pickle burger with added pepper jack cheese. It’s not cheap for a big family but the atmosphere and service was def worth the price. The French fries were over the top delish too.“

“Shout out to General Manager Ed Hackett!! The farm is a very special place….“

“Thank you for an amazing memorable birthday dinner. A true gem of Stone Harbor.“

“Excellent!! Our only disappointment is that we just discovered this Wildwood gem after coming here for years. Everything was fantastic & the staff were all awesome! The live music was the icing on the cake. Fantastic!“

“Hi I want to sing my praises to two of your waitresses that went above and beyond during our meals while vacationing in Wild Woods. Our first Experience and 2nd we had the pleasure of having “Niki” and truly we could not ask for better service than she offered,her tone,her understanding and the way she treated my toddler is immeasurable and the small details that were paid attention to were not found in other establishments we tried. I hope she knows how valued and appreciated she is by our family! We stopped in for one last meal before heading back to MD and we were cared for. A waitress I don’t re call a name but long curly hair,and a smile that lit up a room and was welcoming,her table side manner was fantastic she joked with us and also treated my daughter remarkably well where again other establishments frowned upon her questions or acted as she wasn’t talking. Furthermore,Noticing the whole atmosphere was a fantastic vibe, Everyone was smiling and working as a team. Can’t wait to return !“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥 must stop when visiting sea isle city“

“Food is amazing staff needs to pick the pace up alittle they like to stand around and talk and decide when they help you … we waited at hostess booth while 3 people saw us … then when paying the bill 3 ladies were standing there talking. They finished there conversation while me & the kids waited till they were done talking to come and help us …. To me working in retail I’ve always been told customers come first …. Just saying“

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

“My favorite place to grab breakfast when we visit Wildwood Crest, good food, good price, clean and such great staff. They never disappoint, they are warm and welcoming. I look forward to seeing the same faces next season. Thanks!!“

“BELL'S,,love your food,after 5 yrs of going there,,had a burger,, phenomenal 🤘,,3 weeks in a row,,today,,STICKER SHOCK 😆,well worth it though,,,please don't D.O.G.E. the burgers,, their perfect,,as is the entire menu,,“

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

“Breakfast was so good, went back to back days! Cant wait to have dinner!“

“We’ve been a few times, and the food is consistently good.“

“Thought I would try an upscale dish (since they were offering it) to see how a Boardwalk Restauranteur would perform. I ordered the Shrimp Pasta with Marinara. Needless to say, I was "Stunned"! This is a favorite dish of mine and I usually reserve ordering it to finer esoteric Bistros and Trattorias I frequent. Yes, I dare say it, BOLDLY that the Chef Olympic Flame not only went "toe to toe" with the finer eateries I am familiar with but actually bettered the lot of 'em!! After this most satisfying experience, I was desperate to meet the Chef behind this most Perfect Pasta dish. The waitstaff directed me to the Chef, who was extremely appreciative when I explained the aforementioned to him. Anyone out there visiting the Jersey Shore and wants to have a truly "Unique" dining experience, I strongly recommend ordering the Shrimp Pasta (or any Pasta Course) "The" Olympic Flame Restaurant. You Will Not Be Disappointed!!“

“Stopped in here for the Summer Mummers after party.We've stopped in a couple of times before over the past few months since they've opened, but never stayed.The (basic bar) food was good. Joanna (the hostess) and Susan, our server, were both lovely and kind.They had no bitters = no old fashioneds.“

“The cleanliness, fast service, excellent staff from front to back, food, and prices are quite excellent. We’ve been going to this particular Hotspot for many years and I don’t ever recall anything that we ever received being anything but excellent. I highly recommend. Some of the reviews on here I find just simply mean spirited.“

“Brett was an excellent server. Friendly but not intrusive. In a booth , very comfortable. But near a table of 9 extremely loud, thankfully they left before our food arrived. Looks like outside does not have large tables so might be a better choice if you want quiet.“

“We were down the past couple of weekends in North Wildwood, stopped at one of our favorites and got great-sized Maryland crabs the one weekend and, then, last night some clams & lobster tails. Always a pleasure seeing the staff. Always fast & friendly“

“Tried the Jake's famous pork sandwich.
Asked the lady behind the counter if it was sharp provolone and she said it was but once I tried it, it was not sharp at all. Ok no big deal but took a star from the service.
The pork is good but slightly over chopped, The broccoli rabbe was just balanced but not sauteed.
Nonetheless, the sandwich was tasty.“

“We enjoyed our day down the shore and eating at Wally's Our server Stephanie was friendly and fast. We had a problem with our cold coffee drinks and she fixed them right away. We will definitely be back again and recommend eating in to get out of the heat for a bit.“

“Friendly staff, beginning with two elderly gentlemen there on Saturdays. Very welcoming. And remains good from there“

“We had an amazing dining experience last evening. Our server Sarah was attentive and paced the meal perfectly. She also made sure our guest with severe gluten allergy was accommodated. Our food was delicious- the Maryland crab cakes were quite good- no filler and jumbo lumps of crabmeat. Bravo to the chef for consistently excellent preparation and presentation with lots of delicious sides. Highly recommend!“

“Hands down, one of the best hidden gems around!

Grab a Wiener at Zein’s Corner is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience. From the moment you walk up, you feel the welcoming vibe, and once you take your first bite, you know you’ve stumbled on something special.

The hot dogs are next-level: perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor. The toppings are fresh and creative, letting you build your own or go for their signature combos. Each bite has that perfect balance of savory, tangy, and satisfying crunch. The portions are generous, the prices are more than fair, and everything tastes like it’s been made with real care.

What really sets this spot apart, though, is the atmosphere. Zein’s Corner feels like the kind of place you can drop by anytime—whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on your own, hanging out with friends, or introducing out-of-towners to a local favorite. The staff is friendly, fun, and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes every visit feel personal.

If you’re craving comfort food that hits the spot every single time, Grab a Wiener at Zein’s Corner should be at the top of your list. Once you try it, you’ll be hooked. 😉“
