“Worked here when I was 13 for my first ever job. Been eating their crabs since I could chew. Can’t go to the shore without stopping at Ricks“

“Food is great, awesome salad bar and amazing service“

“I grew up near the Chesapeake Bay and can tell you that Canal Side does crabs right. Their own seasoning blend is very good and they sell bags of it. The local crabs are just a bit smaller on average than Chesapeake crabs but that's ok, their flavor is great! 🦀“

“Great customer service first of all and let me tell you about the food! The Maryland crab soup is flavorful and delicious, you know your eating crab soup. And next stuffed shrimp w/ crab imperial and stuffed mushrooms are great tasting. Also bacon wrapped scallops are a hit, try w/ sweet chili sauce. The lobster roll sandwich is made to perfection. Delicious!And to top it all off key lime pie & peanut butter cake were fantastic.“

“The crushers were very refreshing after a warm day and the ‘U peel shrimp’ were EXCELLENT (a half pound is plenty for two people). The crab cakes were also delicious and decent portions. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.“

“Great food and great service!! Will definitely be back. My wife loved the strawberry burrata!!“

“Everything was perfect!! Food was outstanding! Service was fantastic. Very chill atmosphere. I highley recommend.“

“PRIMAL in Cape May offers an exceptional dining experience! . As a first-time visitor during the off-season, I was truly impressed by both the outstanding service and the remarkable food. Chef Mia and her team deliver on quality, quantity, and value.

The meal started with complimentary fresh-made bread, followed by a delightful house salad. The main courses—filet, halibut, and a lobster/scallop appetizer in the shallot cream sauce—were all flavorful and cooked to perfection. And the Truffle Yukon mashed potatoes? Simply the best I’ve ever had. Dessert was a tower of homemade cookies surrounded by fresh fruit and decadent vanilla icing.

PRIMAL is a standout gem in Cape May, offering an unforgettable dining experience that combines exceptional service, expertly crafted dishes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or visiting during the off-season, this restaurant is a must-try. Chef Mia and her team have truly set the bar high—an experience worth savoring from start to finish!“

“I went in tonight a little after closing and the guys were cleaning up. I asked if they wer3 closed and was told yes. When I asked if anyplace else sold lobster roll Will politely said he didnt know of any place. And was kind enough to make is 2 lobster rolls after closing. Delicious and generous portions. Thanks Will. We had a long day and this was the perfect ending after getting everyone settled in for the night.“

“We come to this restaurant 3 times each summer and have been doing that for 6/7 years. Never been disappointed until Friday night. Both mine and my wife food really disappointed . The grouper was under cooked and the BLT scampi was nothing like I had before. I always give this restaurant 5 stars because we really like it. Im little sad even to write this.“

“It's been about 5 years since the last time I was here. I was worried the prices might have sky rocketed and made it unaffordable, but I was pleased to see that there were many affordable options. We took our number and waited to be called to order.
We ordered a pitcher of Iced Tea at the bar and sipped it as we sat out by the docks till our number was called. The food came out quickly and was very tasty. We enjoyed a beautiful atmosphere watching the boats go in and out as the cool breeze cooled out skin as we sat by the shaded docks.
I definitely recommend the broiled seafood platters!
The lobster house does not disappoint.“

“Delicious food. Never disappoints !“

“Excellent..everything!! nice waiter too!!“

“Great Food and Awesome Location. Love it!“

“Freshly made, quality food. Fried oysters were huge and cooked to perfection. Great choice!“

“Quincy’s Lobster Roll at Waterside Place: As someone who grew up in the Northeast and knows a thing or two about authentic New England-style lobster salad, I can confidently say that Quincy’s Lobster Roll at Waterside Place is absolutely delicious. The lobster was incredibly fresh, perfectly sweet, and generously portioned. The roll itself was just the right texture—soft and slightly toasted—and let the quality of the lobster shine. This was a true taste of home, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“One word! Delicious! Will be visiting again next year!“

“I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl. It brings back so many wonderful memories when my husband and I visit every summer with our sons! Great food and atmosphere!“

“My husband and I have been visiting Cape May for years now, and we cannot understand how we waited this long to stop in the Oyster Bay Bar & Restaurant for dinner. We spent a few weeks in the area this year and had meals at the Oyster Bay Bar three times!! From our first visit, we felt so incredibly welcomed beginning with a nice chat with the hostess as we waited for our table. Just from that brief chat during our first visit, the same hostess greeted me by my name on our 2nd visit. I’m embarrassed to say that I cannot remember her name, but I will say that she was incredibly lovely and personable. Our server, Bobby, who took care of us on both our first and last visits, had a wonderful personality, sharing some tidbits with us of the history of the restaurant and with being local to the area, answered some of our questions about the holiday season in Cape May. Now, about the food…with each visit we tried something new and found each meal to be delicious and satisfying. Our favorite appetizer, which we had on all three visits, was the charbroiled oysters. Absolutely delightful!! The mix of the Parmesan cheese in the garlic butter….so very good!! My husband and I always like to do something special on our last night of vacation…and you guessed it, the Oyster Bay Bar was our choice for dinner! The lovely hostess greeted us once again and mentioned to the owner, Gary, that this was our third visit and that we chose this restaurant as our last dinner on vacation. Gary stopped by our table, after sending a complementary round of drinks to us, and spent time speaking with us. Knowing we were tossing the idea of a return visit during the holidays, he gave us his personal cell phone number to reach out to him for not only restaurant reservations but also if we had any other questions regarding the holiday visit. Never before, have I encountered such genuine kindness and graciousness in a visit to a restaurant establishment. I cannot stress to all who take the time to read this review that you most definitely must stop in the Oyster Bay Bar & Restaurant for a meal. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Gary, Bobby and the most loveliest hostess for adding to our vacation memories and experiences.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I went to Lucky Bones on New Year’s Day, for lunch!! They did not disappoint!! Wed’s are Oyster day specials!! Had the best Ousters Rocketfellers!! Then I had the BOLT sandwich!’it was soo good!! Highly recommend Lucky Bones! Plus, I added point to my rewards card!!“

“The food is decent but this location is all about where you are seated. Previously we were under the blue awning adjacent to Two Mile Landing and it was awesome. This time we were seated back by the bar in the middle of the deck. Tables were packed tight and people on top of you . Probably the worst outdoor seating area in the entire place. Highly recommend you be specific on where you want to sit instead of just selecting outdoor area as this was awful.“

“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.“

“This is the spot if you are looking for great food and a family friendly atmosphere! The food was perfect, zero issues. This is the spot you want to spend your hard earned money, a family business. The highlight was talking to Joe and his wife. He is surrounded by his family and it shows that he is proud that they are all working together and serving a great product. This will be our new spot when we come on vacation! See you next year Joe!“

“Our bus tour took us to the Boathouse for lunch and we all agreed it was the best meal of the trip. Fried shrimp was amazing and the staff was very attentive.“

“Awesome bar and atmosphere“
