Best Family Restaurants in Cape May

"After capturing Pink by Victorious, be sure to stop off at one of the area’s most renowned hotels, located just across the street. Congress Hall is quite dramatic to witness, as it wraps around an entire street corner. This property is truly photogenic from every angle, from the street view to the beautiful backyard green."

"Many restaurants claim to be farm-to-fork fresh, but few have their own farm to back up the claim, unlike the Blue Pig. This laid-back spot in Congress Hall Hotel gets all of its produce from its own farm, Beach Plum. One can’t miss farm-to-fork moment: the annual summer Tomato Menu, during which New Jersey’s sweet red and yellow globes are featured in everything from gazpacho to BLTs and in a drool-worthy toasted sourdough bread sandwich slathered with mayo."

"Named for an 1800s gambling parlor in the venerable Congress Hall Hotel, the Blue Pig serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch in a light-filled rustic dining room augmented with patio seating. The food is casual and largely American—at dinner, there’s meatloaf with mashed potatoes, fish & chips, burgers, pasta, also a kids’ menu.200 Congress Place, 609-884-8422"

"Blue Pig Tavern has a comforting farmhouse atmosphere and bold flavors to boot. This historic site near Congress Hall was the first tavern in Cape May. Now, you can feast on American fare ́next to the fireplace in the dining room or up against a wall of bright windows."

"Lisa DiFebo says Biden has not only eaten in her family’s establishment but also has swung by to pick up quarts of their red sauce—made by her father from his mother’s recipe."

"Food and service was great, highly recommend the bread for an appetizer. Could have made a meal out of it with a salad."

"Known for its brick-oven pizza, The Boiler Room is a must-visit Cape May restaurant. Bare brick and stone walls, stainless steel tables, and exposed rafters give an industrial feeling to the dining area. While known for their pizza, this Cape May restaurant’s menu items change based on each day’s ingredients, sourced from a local farm."

"Located underground at Congress Hall, this unique restaurant features fresh brick oven artisan pizza, cold draft beer and live music."

"The Rusty Rudder scratched its buffet spread to elevate its menu with seaside dishes like tempura fried lobster tails and grilled mahi mahi. An oceanfront venue makes it the place to be for live music in Dewey. Also a good bet for music: legendary sister venue Bottle & Cork, founded in 1936."

"The coastal-style tequila bar is wrapping up its second summer in Dewey, serving coconut shrimp and al pastor tacos alongside rotating daily specials. The bar is big on La Colombe coffee, which makes its way into cocktails to keep day drinkers perky. The owner is friends with team Espita in Shaw, so it’s no wonder their mezca list is also solid."

"Rise Up Coffee, an independent small-batch coffee roaster and retailer for the past 14 years, has popped up next to the traffic circle as you drive into downtown Rehoboth. It takes over a former 7-Eleven location. The business was founded in St. Michaels, Maryland, by owner Tim Cureton in a tricked-out coffee trailer."

"Don’t let the name fool you: Rise Up Coffee Roasters is not your average coffee shop. The Rehoboth Beach location offers full breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a full bar. Outdoor seating is available and pets are always welcome."

"For decadent breakfasts, the Mad Batter is the name to know in Cape May. Highlights include tucking into pillowy buttermilk pancakes studded with local New Jersey blueberries or a Chesapeake Bay Benedict with crabmeat, poached eggs, and hollandaise while sitting on the sunny porch."
