“Always love the Lobster House, been going for years. Ate at the Raw Bar. Had the grilled swordfish with lemon butter, side of fries and corn on the cob. Fish was cooked perfectly and the corn was nicely cooked, not mushy.

Was a rainy day after Labor Day so was slow, but still loved eating on the deck looking at the water and boats.“

Smash Shack Pet Friendly • $
307 Beach Ave Unit 4 & 5, Cape May

“The only difficulty you'll have at The Smash Shack is deciding which of their items to pick! The cheesesteak is one of the best we've had — definitely get it with Cooper cheese and onions. For breakfast, the pork roll, egg, and cheese (also with Cooper) is amazing. And a beach front smash burger is tough to beat. A pro tip: grab your food to go and eat it across the street on the sand! Just watch for the seagulls.“

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! 💜“

“The wife and I were out and about and decided to try the Waterside location in Lakewood Ranch Fl. I have to say im a bit of a critic because we have family in Maine and have tasted all ends of the spectrum of lobster rolls from amazing to terrible and this place makes a great Lobster rolls with a spot on price comparable to Maine and other restaurants in the area. The staff member we dealt with was super nice I wish I would have got his name, but I do know he was from Jersey and had great knowledge knew the product well. We had 2 Connecticut rolls and they were great. I would say this place is worth checking out. Theres only outdoor seating, but you can easily walk around waterside and find a spot to kick back and enjoy or walk out enjoy their outdoor seating and it will complement their lobster rolls very well. They also have nice little selection of beers/beverages and a whole N/A fridge too.“

“If you’re looking for Cape May’s hottest subterranean hotspot, look no further than The Boiler Room. This place has everything: wood-fired pizza, Caesar salads that slap, neon lights, exposed brick, and a sound system that’ll knock your Birkenstocks off. And the staff? Honey. First, let’s talk about Matt, the food and beverage manager. He’s like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, pulling levers of flavor and hospitality. Ever had a martini that made you cry from joy? You will. Now add Johnny and Kyle behind the bar—Cape May’s dynamic duo. They pour, they shake, they stir, and they SERVE. Watching them in action is like seeing a choreographed dance, except everyone gets a drink at the end. Now let’s get into the pizza. This pizza? This pizza is like if Naples and Brooklyn had a baby that went to culinary school in Rome. It’s crispy, chewy, saucy perfection. And don’t even get me started on the Caesar salad—it’s crunchy, briny, creamy, and anchovy-whispered. I’d write it a love letter and send it first class. But that’s not all. When the sun goes down, this place transforms. The Boiler Room becomes an underground concert hall of dreams. The live bands? They funk, boogie, and rock ‘n’ roll like it’s their job (because it is). Think Parliament meets Tom Petty in a dance-off judged by Prince. They groove party anthems and timeless classics that’ll have you screaming, “This is MY SONG!” while you dance like it’s 1999. The Boiler Room has everything: brick oven dreams, Caesar epiphanies, killer cocktails, craft beers, sultry lighting, beautiful people, bar legends, and music that hits like a vintage disco ball to the soul. So if you’re in Cape May and you’re not at the Boiler Room, what are you even doing with your life? Sent from my iPhone“

“Elaine’s Cape May totally nailed it! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was cozy and welcoming, with a cool beachy feel that set the tone perfectly.

Tracy, our waitress, was awesome. She was super friendly and made us feel right at home. She knew the menu inside out and gave us great recommendations. Her service was spot on—attentive but not overbearing.

And let's talk about the food—absolutely delicious. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and you could tell they use fresh, top-notch ingredients. From starters to desserts, we were blown away.

The overall atmosphere was laid-back and relaxed, but still classy. It’s the kind of place you can chill with friends or have a romantic dinner without feeling out of place.

Overall, Elaine’s Cape May delivered big time. Great service, amazing food, and a vibe that’s just right. Tracy and the team really know how to make you feel special. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won’t be disappointed!“

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!“
