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.”

“Incredible dining experience all around! We were seated exactly at our reservation time with a friendly smile, service was quick, the atmosphere was amazing as we had a view of the ocean, and the food was delicious!”

“Good food, good service, good atmosphere.”

“Relaxed atmosphere. Not rushed at all. Staff was attentive and the food was great.”

“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.”

“The food is absolutely incredible! The service is top notch!”

“The space is lovely but the service was very slow on an early Saturday morning. We were one of two groups in the shop - so it was not clear why our breakfast sandwiches took so long to arrive (and we asked for everything bagels and got plain bagels). Coffee was ok - hopefully we just experienced a poor service day”

“So far we tried the lobster roll which was excellent, lobster salad, one day came with avocado and the next without ?‍♂️ and it's just ok. Lobster mac n cheese too salty but with lots of lobster. Clam chowder is good. Lobster tacos a bit tasteless”

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

“Best specialty coffee Steve and staff make our day bright when visiting. Thank You Tracy And Ed from Phoenix AZ”

“You know when you find a place, you love it so much you can’t wait to share a review because not only was the service incredible but the drinks & light treats were off the charts! Can’t help but love everything about this spot! I ordered their iced lumberjack latte - loved every drop. Fresh, creative, health options, and even something for the sweet tooth. 10 out 10”

“I’ve been coming here for 6 years. It is the only place I must go to when I come on my annual trip to cape may. I’ve been here 5 days so far and have eaten 6 peace pies. The best $8 you’ll spend on vacation. Favorites are thin mint and pb cookie dough. Pictured is mint Milano. Hot tip: scan the QR code for pictures and descriptions of each option, as there are like 3 different chocolate mint options and 4 different chocolate peanut butter options, and the employees tend to be quite angsty and don’t know (or care to share) the differences between them.”

“I recently used Westside Market to cater Hoagies, Lunchmeat trays, veggie, horderve and cookie trays for my function. I was planning for a crowd via long distance for our stay in Cape May. Every tray was beautifully arranged with freshness, quality and detail. I highly recommend their food and in large quantity they excel. All my guests were impressed and I enjoyed working with their kind staff and catering manager. Thank you for your standards and professionalism.”

“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!!!”

“Do you have a trusted manager who is very reliable and dependable? Hurry up and start your trade with Mrs Craig Vanessa she is the best among all. I have tried 2 of them but she proves me right and helps me gain high profit. So why don't you invest with her so you can start making decent profit on crypto. All I did was to make the first deposit and I made my withdrawal yesterday. I'm so happy and excited please and please hurry up and start earning money for the future now. I'm going to invest for my children. For more information, visit her Facebook Page: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“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!”

“Excellent dinner every single time!! Lobster “Fra Diavolo” best I ever had!!!”

“GREAT FOOD and great service!”

“We had delicious dinners at Maison Bleue! Among us we had the salmon, fluke, and bouillabaisse, and everyone was happy. Roasted carrots and fingerling potatoes were done perfectly. Overall, it was a great experience. If I had one recommendation, it would be to avoid the middle dining room (left of the doorway). We were packed in tight! I had requested a seat by the window but that was not available, although some tables by the windows were open the entire time. I'd have no complaints with different seating! Good meal!”

“Enjoyed The Y.B. during restaurant week. Was our first time and we will be back. Everything was fresh and well presented. The service was excellent. I’ve probably walked past this little gem a hundred times and never stopped in for a meal. I’m just sorry I didn’t try it sooner! Thanks for an excellent meal! We can’t wait to come back! Cheers!”

“EXCELLENT FROM SOUP TO NUTS !!!!”

“First time staying at Virginia House, but not first time to Ebbitt Room and it was another amazing dinner. Our waiter Ben was kind, attentive and helpful with accommodations for GF/DF meal. The porch ambiance was quiet and a nice way to close out Summer in Cape May on a perfect Labor Day evening. The Deviled eggs were a great way to start off dinner, Hubby started with Shishito peppers. Hubby had the vegetable curry and I had the scallops, both were delicious and the perfect portion size. Looking forward to our next meal at the Ebbitt Room, absolutely the best fine dining in Cape May.”

“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.”

“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.”

“A really great experience! Jay, the bartender was exceptional. This was going to be just our first stop and we ended up staying until they closed! Live music also but it’s a hit or miss depending on what day of the week you visit. Not to mention there are few places open late in Cape May. Expect to spend some money but I highly recommend for the experience! A++”

“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!”

“Was hesitant to try this place because of the lower star reviews but we thought it was delicious! The veggie pizza was so delicious- with a thin crispy crust. Also tried the buffalo slice and it was good! We’d visit again!”

“Always a great experience awesome bartenders and food”

“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.”

“Wonderful atmosphere and great beer. Their logo is, by far, my favorite of all the breweries I've been. Very creative! The taproom was very spacious and nicely decorated. Enjoyed a flight of a variety of beers. EZ Livin was probably my favorite of the 4, but I look forward to a future visit to try some more. Didn't get the opportunity to meet the owners, but the beertender was super friendly. Definitely in my top 3 breweries in the area!”

“The food was amazing. My taste buds were thanking me for hours! I tasted the sesame-chili chicken slider, ginger-scallion lobster slider, sweet and sour duck slider, pineapple-chili aioli shrimp slider, and finally the soy-braised short ribs slider. Each slider has such a delicious, unique taste. My favorite was the sweet and sour duck. It tasted like candy, it had a nostalgic taste to it. The coconut rice pudding with mango and the 5-spice donuts were the best desserts I’ve had in a while. Their customer service was excellent. I can’t wait to come back!”

“This place has the best grilled cheese and fantastic customer service! My boyfriend goes every year and I finally got the chance to this year. His favorite is the chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese and the day we went they had a smash burger grilled cheese as a special that I got. Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend for anyone in town!”

“Quick and yummy food, pleasant girls at the counter”

“Kohrs always hits the spot for my soft serve craving in Cape May. Never tried the orange vanilla twist before but it could be my new fav. Clean store and quick staff get you in and out. Line sometimes is out the door during peak after dinner time. No seating in store.”

“Stopped in for ice cream On a busy eve. The Staff very helpful and attentive ice cream delish, and the sundaes have the best names.”

“So many clever options at HotDog Tommy's and if you have food allergies they can help out.”

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

“Uncle bills is a friendly clean place. I’ve been going to the wildwood one for years!! When they close I come to cape may!’ Great food..”

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

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

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

“Been coming to CM for years and Uncle C’s is always a must stop. There are a lot of choices in town but none give you as much ice cream and toppings as Uncle C’s. Of all the area shops this is the best. The only negative, and this applies to all of the ice cream stops, is the price…its expensive at $12 for a sundae. But again, they all are in that price range so for the money this is the number one Ice Cream in town.”

“Excellent soup, great sandwiches , lovely outside dining”

“The worker was so nice. She showed us ingredients and was "invested" in us. She even treated us well. Service was LOVELY! Definitely recommend. The food itself was soo good. I mean, for the price, this kills. I really loved it. SO MUCH! I just wished this was in my location. Thank you for this pleasant memory.

Vegetarian options: Limited options.

Kid-friendliness: Worker was sweet.”

“The coffee brand they use is really good- my favs are Americano and latte , stuff is friendly and polite, location is more than great and prices are reasonable!”

“Great year round shopping too!”

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

“"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”

“Food has been better than it has been in the past which makes it way more enjoyable. Last year I went and it was all melted when they handed it to me, but this year it was amazing. The service was okay, they really just ask us what we want and that’s it so. The spot to sit it pretty cool, choices of umbrellas to sit under.”

“Step into the past at historic Cold Spring Brewery. After a hot day exploring the historic village, stop in at the old timey ale house to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and of course a cold one brewed on site.

Pros: Really great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Good variety (not just 10 IPAs and one porter). Dog friendly.

Cons: No food, but there is a food stand outside and a food truck that comes around.

Beer was good, bordering on great. If you're a microbrew snob you might notice some of the brews are a little on the amateur home brewer side, but overall really good. I really liked 3 of the 4 beers I got in my flight. Wife loved the "not your grandpa's sasparilla"”

“We discovered this shop on our latest Cape May trip and it was easily one of the highlights. What a special place with AMAZING tasting peanut butter, so much so we shipped another order once we got home. The woman who let us sample and chatted with us was so kind, too! Can’t miss this place - we can’t wait to come back!”

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

“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” ❤️”

“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. ; )”

“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!”

“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”

“Visited cape May roasters on a trip down the shore. The smell draws you in and the taste is even better. What I’m here to review is the service... which is truly some of the best customer service I received in a long time from the time we walked in to the time we checked out. I am now a new loyal customer and will be buying my beans from them consistently, if you’re in the area check them out! And if you’re not local they do ship”

“Great place for authentic Mexican food.”

“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.”

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

“Great casual restaurant at the beach. Nice view, good food and friendly efficient servers. Don't forget your wallet, as cash only, but there they do have an ATM.”

“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!”

“Excellent food and service”

“Seafood pulled in fresh right on the dock along with beautiful views of the bay - this is a dining experience that can't be beat!

Parking: There's a giant gravel lot across the street so plenty of parking is available.”

“We love love love Panico's! We use to always go to Sapore but Sapore has gone down hill since new ownership. We love how Panico's doesn't rush you, and you can take your time. The food is also great, I recommend either the 3 cheese chicken or the rigatoni vodka and ask for the chicken breaded! It is also nice that it's a BYOB, so it is inexpensive. If you're looking for good Italian food in Cape May, please go here and AVOID at all costs Andrea Trattoria. 10/10!”

“Great food, service and atmosphere. Made a reservation for birthday dinner and I was happy with everything. Unfortunately the outdoor patio wasn’t open yet, but they still had the fire lit and you could see the water views from inside.”

“My wife and I plus my son had lunch today and everything was excellent. Our server Austin was excellent as well , professional, kind and explained anything we needed to know.”

“Great service and food. Bartenders in the brown room are on point!”

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“Uncle bills is a friendly clean place. I’ve been going to the wildwood one for years!! When they close I come to cape may!’ Great food..”

“I called for take out and they were courteous on the phone the food was ready promptly it was amazing they thought of everything they had everything utensils condiments everything was perfect would definitely order from them again!”

“I have been to this restaurant several times. It's very good. I took 1 star off this time for the Crab Cake that I tried for the first time. Although it was tasty, there was not a lot of lump crab meat. My husband had the Veal Parmesan and it was delicious! I love this restaurant and will definitely be going back again.”

“Such a vibe!! Loved dining here! Our wait was about 2 hours, but we didn’t mind because we got drinks at the bar and walked out on the dock. The DJ was great! So cool that they have Karen the falcon/hawk come and hang out with her trainer on the deck to keep the seagulls away and it really works, no seagulls in sight! Our food and drinks were delicious, the lobster chowder soup was amazing, the sushi was so fresh and the lobster sandwich roll was a perfect size and full of lobster! Will definitely be coming here again!!”

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

“Any outdoor lunch in Cape May on a 72 degree day is perfect, but an oversized roast beef and Swiss sandwich on toasted marble rye makes it even better! Friendly service!!”

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

“We live in North Jersey and drive down to Cape May a few times during the summer. Sometimes we even stay for the week. We always come to Sea Salt for a great night out and a fabulous dinner. The staff is always wonderful and friendly and the menu never ever disappoints! Always worth the little over 2hr drive for us to spend the day and have a great dinner with family and friends.”

“Simply the best grilled burgers, breakfast sandwiches and cheesesteaks in cape may. Hidden gem and the owner is a great guy who truly cares about his craft. 10/10 cheesesteak. This is a MUST GO.”

“My family has been going to this location and this is the first time under the new ownership and name Stowaways. Online ordering system and service was great, the drinks came quick and were great, and all the food was great. The workers came by several times asking if everything was ok and if we needed anything as well. We will definitely be coming back.
