We did a short trip to Cape May and visited the Mad Batter for a late breakfast. Our server Tom was amazing! We had the best time. So nice to get incredible service from someone who clearly loves what they do! Thank you Tom!

overall not bad, a little on the pricey side and definitely better for breakfast than anything else. i like the food thought and it is quite good and the breakfast is very redeeming for this place. the atmosphere is great and i love the outdoor seating. overall an above average restaurant and most likely will return often

Great place we dined last night . Our server was amazing Zana . We ordered the salmon dish and had the flatbread supreme as starter. My only complaint was the chairs in the garden room . It was very uncomfortable. I had to walk around several times before my dinner was served . Please Mad Batter switch out those chairs with some cushion . But the Mad Batter is wonderful food amazing and the hostess and servers excellent. We always love the entertainment as well .
