We told her we were on a time crunch, and she made sure we had time to enjoy our food and not miss the Ferry. Thanks for the exceptional meal and service! We’ll stop by again on our next trip!“

“On Friday evening my husband and I didn’t have a reservation so we were able to get two bar seats and it was PERFECT. The bartender was so knowledgeable and suggested some great food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Always go when in Cape May…fabulous food“

“I absolutely recommend Peter Shields Inn for a wedding venue. We had a small wedding on the beach and our wedding dinner was handled by Peter Shields. We worked with Amy (their event coordinator) and she was so helpful in every way. She went above and beyond to make everything so easy for us. I literally handed them a box of our wedding decorations and the tables and everything was set up perfectly! I didn’t have to lift a finger. Their bartender served up our signature drinks with a smile. Our guitarist serenaded guests on the porch while they enjoyed cocktails and wonderful hors doeurves. Dinner was seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had. Perfection hands down!“

“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.“

“The best Beet Reuben sandwich!!! It might be the best sandwich I have eaten in Cape May ever! Thank you!!’“

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

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

“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.“

“Always delicious at Backstreet!“

“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 !“

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

“We had a fantastic experience at the Ebbitt Room! The food was great from the apps to dessert. The pork chop was delicious and served as the chef's preference. The pumpkin cheesecake was really balanced without an overall strong pumpkin taste. I definitely recommend both! One of the best spots to eat in Cape May.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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“

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

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

“Beautiful view! Spacious rooms. Beach access. Pool. Restaurant on site. Parking. Friendly staff. We are having a great time!😊“

“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!!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“5 stars! The food is cooked well and seasoned perfectly. Had a quesadilla last night and had to come again for the tacos! Very friendly staff and cute atmosphere. They have lots of drink choices and cheap prices. Family friendly and they bring the food out so fast I was impressed. Definitely the best authentic Mexican in the area!“

“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.“

“Grew up 3 blocks from the orginal Texas weiner called the Greeks in South philly. And these taste just like they came from there.“

“Always a great experience awesome bartenders and food“

“Great meal and friendly service. would recommend this place to everyone.“

“We LOVEDDD IT! I was a little nervous about the price of the Mahi Tacos but holy heck- they were INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! We will definitely be back!!!“

“I’m all for tradition, but after 207 years, I think it’s time for a makeover, even for Congress Hall. 🐷“

“Our new favorite in CMC. Everything was fantastic. That appetizer that's a big plate of various meats is my new favoritest thing ever.“

“We have ate here a few times. The atmosphere is great. It’s fun, the live music is awesome, lots to do for families. Also Jade is a great waitress-and Umberto, who we think is a manager was always hustling around here making sure things were taken care of. If you are in Wildwood you need to check this place out.“

“We had a great breakfast and an awesome waiter Angelo!!“

“Friendly staff, quick service and food is great“

“We love coming here for our weekly night out. Matt (bartender) always knows what we want to drink and is always asking how things are going. It’s our friendly neighborhood place that we need our weekly dose of if not more.“

“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. 😉“

“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!!!“

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

“Amazing breakfast sandwiches!! Can’t believe simple can be so good. We forget how good that old Bacon Egg and Cheese Hard roll can be. Perfect. Hash brown was grilled and not fried. Love it. Service was friendly and food was quick. Thanks Smash Shack. See you guys soon!“

“EXCELLENT FROM SOUP TO NUTS !!!!“

“Obsesseddd with the seafood carbonara, Green bean fries, southwestern wrap, bang bang shrimp, etc. 🤤“

“Wish more people would write reviews for the Oceana BYOB, it was such a excellent experience during our stay at the resort! The staff was so friendly and accommodating and the food was fresh and delicious! We loved our conversation with Joanie on our last day!!! Thank you!“

“This was our first time at Lemma's and it definitely won't be the last. We went for breakfast and everything was top notch. Everything we had tasted incredible not to mention the family atmosphere. The staff was so incredibly friendly. This is definitely a great place for breakfast or lunch.“

“Living in Court house, the choices for pizza were limited and mediocre. Moved to Del Haven (in delivery distance now) we ordered Rino's pizza BEST PIE IN TOWN! Perfect crust, silky cheese, savory sauce & speedy delivery! I'm hooked!“

“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!“

“This is our first trip to Wildwoods and it's been a pleasure. One of the stands outs, for me, has been breakfast every morning at Bagel Port Cafe! I'm a creature of habit and eat the same thing everyday bacon omelet and plain bagel with butter. They are consistent and delicious! They also have fresh squeezed orange juice, which I've never had before here and I don't think I want to drink packaged juice again! I've looked forward to breakfast everyday. The staff has been very polite and prompt when ordering and serving, even when they get busy. Highly recommend!“
