Cons: I ordered the seafood broil for $38. It came with a starter salad and a tiny little roll, in which case there was no butter. Never saw a server until we got our main dish, so made do. Now comes the seafood broil. Description is scallops, shrimp, crab cake, stuffed, clam, and flounder. It came with one small overcooked stuffed clam, one tiny crab cake, three shrimp, three scallops, and a piece of severely dried out tasteless fish. Again, waited for a server to come anywhere near our vicinity for some salt and that can only help so much when the fish is so dried out. Now the positives. Scallops were pretty good and the view is spectacular since we were right on the water. Unfortunately, that's all I can say. Needless to say, we won't return.

Had a lovely bayside sunset view and delicious dinner. My husband had oysters and the blackened yellow tuna special. I had the she crab soup and a crab poke bowl. Our server Liv T did a great job explaining menu items and was an efficient, friendly, polite and attentive server. Everyone here works so hard, thanks for all you do! We will be back.

The kitchen is dirty. My whole family got food poisoning. Had to go to the hospital. Stay far away. The managers are unwilling to keep the food at the right temperatures.

Tiki bar is great to have a cocktail before dinner. Food is well prepared. However, if you have any issues with service…Good Luck!!! The manager seems to have dealt with so many “Karen’s” that she’s turned into one. Except this Karen starts with a “C”

Beware, they now charge a 3% surcharge for credit card payments. Tacky at best. Thought that was illegal.

Honestly I wish I can give this a zero star review. We waited an hour and 30 minutes for a table and finally when we had enough, we went to the host stand to ask how much longer and they said they didn't have our name in the system and that they couldn't do anything to get us a table faster. only good thing was our sweet server Katie who is nice but the food was over priced and very mediocre aka mid and the wait was just crazy long with a a staff that was incompetent. Wack tourist attraction. Don't come unless you're really rich and have all the time in the world to waste!

While looking for a place that served crab legs, we were told to try the Crab House and I'm so glad we did! I had a broiled crab cake that was so good! My daughter had crab legs that she really enjoyed and my hubby had stuffed chicken breast that he really liked. It is a bit pricey but if you want good food then you expect it. I definitely recommend!!

An overpriced tourist trap..Wish i had taken photos of the the stuffed shrimp. They are not stuffed..the small.shrimps are sitting ontop of stuffing maybe 4 or 5 med size shrimp...$28...Fish platter $38..DRIED fish small shrimp(2) dry scallops no visible clams in the baked clams..thin paper napkins drinks in plastic cups..even the coffee sucked..9 people in our group and we will never eat here again.. incredible views..sunset..raw clams good.. other.restaurants in area top notch not this 4th rate kitchen

What a find. On the water, lots of outdoor seating, great menu. The steamed local scallops were amazing. Great slaw. Unforgettable Key Lime pie. Friendly service. The meal that defined the trip.

Lovely seafood restaurant for outdoor happy hour and raw bar. Plenty of outdoor seating, excellent deck views with more than adequate parking make this an ideal place to gather. Bit out the way from tourists downtown Cape May but worth the drive
Worth at least one visit if you come down to Wildwood NJ. I've been here a bunch of times throughout the summers and the food is overall pretty consistent. It can get really busy but waiting isn't too bad if seats are available at the bars (i think there are 3). The popular dish here is the local caught blue claw crabs. They have a dinner portion or all you can eat depending on how hungry you are. I opted for the swordfish with mango and it was very good. Sides were also pretty good. The only thing which missed the mark for me was the crab cake. It was super dry and arrived at the table cold. I think it might have also made my dad sick...

We have been going to the Crab House for years now. We are never disappointed. The food is great! Especially the fried tomatoes!!

Heard this place was good and had to try it for myself. It was DELICIOUS! We had the crab and corn chowder, 10/10 amazing. The crab attack fries 10/10 huge portion and great flavor, and thai popcorn shrimp, and the broiled seafood combo 10/10 Everything from service to food to pricing was great. Think im going back tonight just before heading back home until next vacation

If you have never been, don't rush. Food was average at beats. Got crab cakes and stuffed shrimp. Shrimp were not fully cooked and the crabmeat had no flavor. When the waitress asked how it was, we told her. She said oh, the crab cakes are my favorite. I would have expected to not be paying for the entree we could t eat, but $192 later we paid and left. Will never be back!!!!
