Restaurants near North Cape May

“Most definitely the best brewery in Cape May County. Amazing brews, awesome, funky vibe, top notch service—always and without question. This is a must visit stop when in the area—you won’t regret it.”

“Really good place to stop for Mexican food. It was good and reasonably priced. Daughter got kids quesadillas and I got a chimichanga. Both were well prepared and tasty.”

“North Cape May, New Jersey is on the other side of the tourist attraction, main Cape May, and I happened to go here by accident because most places in Cape May close early, before 8pm, unlike nearby Wildwood where people don't go out until much later. I was glad I found this awesome place: they have the best freshly squeezed orange juice; I always buy at least 4 of them. Their strawberry popsicle, paleta also was yummy and overflowing with fresh strawberries.”

“Uncle Bill's Pancake House is a must-visit for me whenever I'm down at the Shore. They consistently deliver delicious and satisfying breakfasts, making them a local favorite. This trip was no exception! I couldn't resist indulging in their famous pancakes, and they were just as good as I remembered – fluffy, flavorful, and perfect with a drizzle of syrup. My wife opted for the eggs Benedict and raved about the hollandaise sauce. The friendly service and delicious food created a truly wonderful dining experience. Thank you, Uncle Bill's! I'll definitely be back next time I'm craving a perfect Shore breakfast.”

“We've been going here for about 8 years. The man behind the counter is so kind and the donuts are always fresh. The delicious Angel Crème donut is always a big hit in our house and I love the iced coffee as well!”

“The place was great, jumping, had to wait for a table and grabbed some drinks at the bar.Food was great, roast pork was enough to take home, my wife had the chicken cutlet sandwich was a little dried out.”

“Our first time here tonight and it won't be our last! We were welcomed warmly and immediately felt at home. Our server, Kimmy was an absolute pleasure! It was Wine Down Wednesday with $4.00 glasses of their house wines. I'm so picky but Kimmy told me if I didn't like it, she would get me something else. I liked it! Kevin got their pulled pork which he loved! Definitely getting that next time! Although, my Thai Chicken Flatbread was amazing!!! We had a great time! A new favorite for us!”

“Holiday weekend and every place we went to had a 2 hour plus wait. There was 7 of us with children so we couldn't wait that long. Ready to give up and do fast food when we saw Roman's. There was parking spaces in there lot so we thought we would give it a try. We where seated. They where bustling and looked like they had lots of take out orders. We got our drinks and apps pretty fast - loaded fries where yummy, calamari could have been deep fried more for our liking but wasn't bad, kids mac and cheese was so gooey. So cheesey and they loved it - homemade goodness, personal sized pizza's was a hit. They have gluten free crust which I was pleasantly surprised by - by pizza was delicious as was everyone elses. Definitely we will be back again. Also byob! Another plus!!”

“The food is mostly good the staff is friendly but no refills on drinks isn't as good as it could be for a place that gets enough business. . When you charge for refills you lack customer service for steady customers. Improvements needed for sure.”

“Absolutely loved the food here.Admittedly the decor is out dated. And I could have done without the family sized salad for the table. I had a vibe that I was in one of the restaurants featured on tv.But we all loved the food. I fully recommend it to anyone. Generous portions. And ultimately who is going to complain about large portions of delicious food?”

“Great for lunch when visited.. the crab bisque soap and their spin on a grilled cheese sandwich was really good. When ordering the Seafood crab soup.its an upcharge in your entrée. I found the Staff was friendly. not much seating available for larger crowds . the place needs to open the whole area because of being to small as it would accommodate more and give a better atmosphere other than a pick up and take out atmosphere it shows now than the few tables available in the front .. Booths would be the answer here.Kid-friendliness: Would be great if the seating would accommodate more people and high chairs are needed.Wheelchair accessibility: None available.”

“Great sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, and bagels They offer a variety of items, including Coffee and tea. Owners are amiable, and they give back to the community. How awesome is that!”

“I have to give a 5-star rating because of the superior customer service the morning shift always provides. Zhao is a great manager and always goes above and beyond. The only advice I have for others is get there before 2pm and the shift changes =”

“In the three years that my family have been coming down to the Cape May area, we have never noticed this restaurant. They are lovers of Chinese food. So it makes sense for them to try it out while you’re in the area. The restaurant is located in a great spot in the plaza, which has ample parking.”

“When we're on vacation we stop at this Dunkin several times to grab some coffee. I'm always shocked by the low ratings but my guess is because I'm not a local and don't frequent it enough to run into issues. Don't know what they do special here but I actually enjoy the coffee from this Dunkin better than any at home in PA. Never had a problem with service so not much bad to say about this location!”

“Our new favorite in Cape May! Such a great option for a quiet dinner out as a couple. Loved our food—pork tenderloin and lobster orecchiette were delicious, as was the waffles and ice cream dessert. Can’t wait to come back!”

“When you have a menu that works, stick with it. And that's exactly what Mia does. Oh she'll charm you with delectable, exquisitely created specials to keep us on our toes, but it's the steak and seafood that continue to excel. We dined on the filet and small so African lobster that we're done to perfection. And this was at the end of the evening, when everyone is tired and beat. The corn fritter app was good, although I think the shrimp could have been slightly larger and the tails kept on for texture, but that's just me (and it's not my restaurant). The bread, salad and dessert included were each individually sublime. No doggie bags needed from us. Never felt rushed, however, we didn't feel entirely embraced either. With such a special dining destination, I like to feel special. Because the food says it's so. The ambience is California chic. Soft. Romantic. A tad noisy, but certainly doable. Wonderful overall and I'd highly recommend! Looking forward to future visits.”

“Easy 5 stars, maybe 6. Shayna was the HIGHLIGHT of our evening. Her spiel was perfect, timing was impeccable, she was interested in what we had to say and had all the answers to our questions. Top notch server! Would HIGHLY recommend to request her as your server. Also, Ian was a super nice young gentleman who has a quick eye, polite demeanor, and takes the lead when the need is seen. Had tuna tartare, which was 10/10 until the amuse boosh arrived, on the house, and was exceptionally exquisite. Finished with short rib and fosters which were both outta this world. Will be dining here again!!”

“Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. We have dined here multiple times and never have had a bad meal. Most recently we attended the game dinner which was a culinary art. Each course was more delicious than the next. The service was impeccable and the charming ambiance makes for a memorable experience. Highly recommend!”

“Loved the food! Very flavorful and fresh! was a little disappointed when I was waiting for my order because I felt very unwelcome from people in the kitchen. Woman that took my order was so sweet though!”

“I really don't leave reviews very often, but this was one of the best meals I have ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. Every single thing we had was incredible; the calamari was the best I’ve ever had, and the seafood risotto and homemade key lime pie was to die for. I would come here every single time I come to Cape May from now on. Our server, Dajan, was excellent as well and was extremely professional. My girlfriend and I couldn’t celebrate together for Valentine’s Day because I had covid, so today was the day we could finally celebrate together down at the shore and it was perfect. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Had the lamb shank, swordfish kebab, and octopus. All amazing. Staff is great as well. Don’t want to say a hidden gem because there was plenty of people there, but this place deserves a line out the ”

“Great food , fair prices. Unique dishes. I had shri.p and crab bisque and the filet tip sandwich with roasted red peppers shredded cheese. It was delicious. Our whole table-4 adults and 3 children had a wonderful meal. Server was GREAT. Had to wait about 20 minutes even with. Reservation but honestly that isn't bad. Much longer during the season. Highly recommended!”

“A very unique dining experience. All of the dishes were wonderful. Service was great too. Would definitely recommend coming back to try the seasonal food. Make a reservation, you won't be disappointed!”

“From the food to the service this place is amazing! The margaritas were BOMB. Their mexican street corn and brisket tacos were to die for! Everything was so tasty and the live music vibe was the perfect touch. Our waitress Stephanie made the experience even better- she was super attentive and awesome at giving honest recommendations for food and drink.”

“The staff, as usual did an outstanding job. The service, food, and atmosphere are fantastic. We absolutely love the live music on the weekends. The servers and management are always accommodating, pleasant and welcoming. The managers are terrific and their staff are equally as great. We always enjoy our meals and has become our favorite place to eat in Wildwood.”

“Best ice cream anywhere - hands down! Very creative combinations, love the baseball theme inside. We stop for ice cream, then bring to the beach down the street and watch the sunset. Perfect evening!”

“My boyfriend and I had taken a trip down to Cape May to visit the zoo. We decided on Julio's after a brief maps search. The restaurant is similar to a cafe vibe, with kiosks as well as a front desk to pay with cash. I loved the variety of options available. The man at the front counter was friendly, personable, and seemingly proud of his food. He should be, everything was phenomenal. We ordered a burrito with chicken, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, lettuce, tomato, corn salsa, etc. I asked the chef to please make sure nothing was spicy--I am unfortunately not fond of spicy foods. The chef was not only receptive, but made sure to put the spicier toppings on the side so we could still have them to try. We also ordered the black bean dip and the mexican street corn. The flavors were perfect, everything blended so well. I highly suggest visiting this restaurant for the authenticity that a lot of chain restaurants lack. The standout point here is the serving sizes. This burrito was larger than my thigh, and I eat a lot (for reference). The food was more than filling, and exceeded any expectations I had before dining. Nicely done, Julio's! We will definitely be returning.”
