Excellent place to eat with good service, great food and vegetarian options. The outdoor seating was really nice with a beach like atmosphere; sand, lounge chairs with umbrellas, and a couple of fire pits. Some good relaxing live music in the background was also a nice added bonus.

Popped in at the bar for a couple of drinks, our bartender Colleen was very friendly, witty, and provided excellent service. Very cool overall restaurant concept.

Bad service, no one greeted us, servers weren’t very friendly. My server asks us if we’re “ready to order or what?”. No hello how are you guys today, would’ve been more friendlier. no silverware was given and had to track down a server giving everyone else silverware but us, gave us a mean look, then she only gave us one utensil with three people. Felt like we were purposely being ignored. My kid started to eat her spaghetti with her hands cause we had to wait so long. Drinks were made bad. We heard such good reviews on this place, wouldn’t come here again. Maybe some retraining is needed.

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!

Kid-friendliness: They serve their kids chicken fingers and fries on a Frisbee that they get to keep!
Stopped in 10/26/24 for our pre-anniversary day out. Stopped in outside bar for a couple drinks. Had a great time. Bloody Mary's are great. They use Fever-Tree mixes , that are thick, so drinks don't water down. Best place every for a special day.. THANK YOU GUYS, YOU WERE THE BEST

Waitress didn’t come over for 15 mins. Multiple servers and bus boys walked by during that time and didn’t make eye contact when we had been sitting there. I used to be a server and never like to complain, but it wasn’t busy at all! Finally had to go up and ask someone for service before potentially walking out. Meal was fine, wouldn’t return.
If you're going for food, do not go here. But if you're going for drinks and a nice atmosphere, then go here!
Live music and atmosphere was great.
Food is comparable to a rundown chain restaurant to be honest... We ordered the clams casino and I ordered the clam chowder. I tried to ignore the reviews and just try it but I was wrong to do that! It was so thick and basically a heavy cream soup. I got the fried chicken sandwich - I wish I took a picture of this because it looked like someone squished it before sending it out. It had "chipotle aioli" that had no flavor and tasted like cheese sauce (not anywhere close to same flavor, so taking a bite of that was... not great). My stomach IMMEDIATELY flipped and I lost my appetite. It just didn't taste right... I had to order a coke to wash it down, but the deed was done. My stomach got worse before the night was over, and we actually had to leave early to go home.
I NEVER post reviews like this unless necessary... and let me tell you, this was necessary. I'm sorry to all the Rusty Nail fans and locals, but this is not it ?? Either the chowder was not cooked right or the chicken wasn't cooked all the way. This was 2 nights ago and I'm STILL sick. I can't leave the bathroom, and now we leave tomorrow lol not too happy!!!

We ordered the clam “soup” it was a paste, tons of flower. We also ordered the flounder with baked potatoes and green beans, the fish was spiced with tons of paprika, that was all. Green beans had tomato paste on it, which was weird. I would give the food zero stars if I could the place and location was nice, and so was the band.

A very nice restaurant in Cape May. Very autism friendly with my son Laurent which is 100 stars instead of 5 for the service ! Portions were tasty and generous (maybe too generous!)
