Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Dewey Beach

"On Jackson street, just steps from The Queen Victoria, the Mad Batter is a Cape May landmark. Though our guests don’t often try their famous brunches, the Mad Batter is a good destination for either Lunch or Dinner. We particularly enjoy dining on the front porch, watching folks stroll down scenic Jackson street and savoring any of the fine entrees offered."

"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."

"For visitors looking for amenities not found in many other B & B or motels in Cape May. A renovated nineteenth-century facility with a sweeping lawn overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the lodging offers vibrant, atmosphere with a full-service spa., and on-site restaurant and a cocktail lounge ."

"Classic American fare with a nod to Cape May’s great seafood, more than 30 draft & bottled beers. All new for 2016 – a completely redesigned open-air dining room and oceanfront patio bar, with unparalleled panoramic views."

"Its menu includes crab pretzels, firecracker shrimp, a raw bar with clams, mussels and peel n’ eat shrimp, and the famous crab cake platter. Owner Jimmy O’Conor says the restaurant is approved to extend seating into the parking lot this summer to serve as many guests as possible while still abiding to COVID-19 protocols. Woody’s gets extremely busy with takeout as well, so O’Conor bought another store across the street for Woody’s to-go."

"The food is delicious and fresh, and simply prepared, for the most part. Louisa’s claims to be Cape May’s first “Farm to Table” restaurant, which they’ve been doing long before it was chic. It truly does seem like the ingredients are just a little fresher than just about anyplace else."

"Louisa's serves, well prepared, healthy food in a funky setting. The menu is made up of local & regional seafood and nearby farm to table ingredients."

"With only 34 seats, there may be a wait; the menu is limited to seafood (with salads, soup, a few sides and no meat); and it’s cash only."

"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."

"You can enjoy one of their many beverages, like their coconut coffee, and a tasty treat, like their renowned Cruffins. After, you can try out a yoga class at Cape May Yoga upstairs where you will receive 20% off your next cafe purchase."
