Tip!!! Eat outside on the deck and order your food from the walk up counter. It's the same exact excellent seafood that is served inside the restaurant at half the cost with no server. Worth it.

Best raw clams in cape may. Order from the raw bar or take out bar and eat outside. Better prices than actual restaurant inside. Steamed lobster is a 10. Gets crowded fast!

Stephanie Donahue

Late lunch 3:00pm on a Saturday got a table right away. Sat on the boat out back and got the chicken lobster and subbed out the shrimp salad and had lobster salad on top. Amazing! Piña coldas A-plus!

Kassie

Well worth the wait. Food was delish. Lobster bisque was soo smooth. The lobster , shrimp & scallop linguini was amazing. Evan the apple sauce was yummy! But was not a big fan of the crab imperial.

Joanne Gaudet

Four Star, definitely worth the wait! The Filet Mignon with béarnaise was absolute perfection. Everything is made in-house including the bread & salad dressings . Side note: No free refills on soda .

Paul Careccia

The bread they give you is amazing, onion poppy loaf and the butta, it's butta! This place is top notch

I remember when they had the fire, family tradition Father's Day, amazing food we love the lobster bisque soup ! Seafood dishes are amazing!

Krzysztof L.

perfect food and kind service . everything fresh and yummy! good prices comparing to the neighbourhood!

Joe C

Easily my favorite spot to eat in Cape May. The formal restaurant is great, but I prefer getting some beers , oysters , and chowder at the raw bar . When the weather is nice, it's perfect

The seafood on the Lobster House Specialty is very good (lobster , scallops , shrimp ) but the linguine is overcooked and SWIMMING in butter. Their swordfish is great.

Audra Crossley

The is the one seafood restaurant we always hit when we come to the shore . It is a must , no place better! It's worth the wait! You must try a 3lb lobster or even a 4 or 5 pounder!

Gregory Hansell

We visit the Lobster House every summer and are never disappointed. The lobster is obviously a win, but other entres are equally great and the atmosphere is a relaxing and mesmerizing "old Cape May" f Read more

The Lobster House needs to change their web site! Drove 2hrs to come here for dinner , & it’s CLOSED !! I checked the site before leaving the house! THANKS!!

Sacena Veasey

Everything is fantastic. Best raw clams ! Jonah crabs , cream of crab soup and shrimp melt are my favorites.. East outside!

Kelly Fergusob

Go out back to the American Schooner and order from the Raw Bar . A pitcher of Blue Moon and a dozen oysters is the perfect lunch !

Angela Dumadag

Go to the take out counter, and bring your food outside if you don't new a fine dining experience. Better yet, bring home a fresh catch for dinner !

Kyle Minor

Old school seaside dining and going strong! They don’t do corkage, but the wine list is pretty decent. ???? #Maycation2023

LuAnne G

Delicious food. They give u plenty. If you are too full take dessert home from market

Paula Dunlap-Katz

Soft shell crab was delicious. Note at least on lunch menu you get 1 crab with entree. Kid meal clam strips was very generous portion however.

Lee Frankel

Always a great meal! If you are alone instead of the big dinning room try the diner part of the restaurant .

Nick Taylor

The lobster bisque is to die for, would drive from Philly just to have it!

Ginger Starrett

Plan on a wait for a table during regular dinner hour. Our party of six arrived later in the evening (8:30pm) and was seated right away.

Sharon Grant

Grab your food out back and eat on the deck...same great food as fine dining with an awesome view night or day!

Get the Warf fisherman's platter, wide selection of seafood for $18 plus two sides, best choice would be backed potato and corn Cobb.

David Molina

Get the lobster bisque , and Lobster House Combo.

Matthew Witkovsky

Everything is super fresh and delicious. The crab cake is full of crab meat and the scallops are fantastic!

Danny Zhu

Try the sea bass special if they have it- I was fortunate enough to have our waitress get me the last one! The lobster bisque is also superb

Tommi Hurme

Scallops and oysters very tasty. Disappointed not to see a lobster roll on the dinner menu . My friend got a lobster salad which looked dreadful. Everything else was tasty though.

Dave Brown

It's the Lobster House! Best seafood in Cape May! They have a great breakfast diner too!

Eric Rupert

Pro Tip - if it’s crowded when you arrive, don’t take a number to order, call it in. Waited an hour, still had not even called our number to order. Called it in from lobby, was ready for p/u in 25m

Christine Arboleda

Skip the restaurant do the take out and raw bar instead and sit out on the docks! Go after lunch rush and relax.

Danny Zhu

Try the sea bass special if they have it! I was fortunate enough to have thewords get me the last one! The lobster bisque is also superb.

Rachel Newcomer

Very good. Fried Lobster was new to me, delicious! It's a shame I live in Ohio, would love to eat here every week!

Kyle Bye

Make sure to get a cup of coffee after your meal, perfect brew and only $1!

Denise D.

The apps, salad , and dessert is delicious. My lobster tail was chewy and too tough to enjoy.

Kelley Haines

great food and service. ask for kasey she did an awesome job!! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting cape may! ;)

Sandy Lau-Hirschman

The scallops , lobster , & the crab stuffing taste well ????

Glenda Belbol

Love this place! We always eat at the raw bar or the take out and eat out back, which is much cheaper than sit down restaurant and have to wait for hours

Jim Roselli

The outdoor patio is a great way to spend the afternoon in Cape May!

Michael Platt

The lobster sandwich is out of this world. Put a generous helping of horseradish on it. Yummmmm

Brandon Fox

"Lobster House Special " is a good way to go. Generous portions of lobster tail , scallops , and shrimp over linguine for around $24. Also comes with a salad and vegetable . Delicious!

Lorenzo Colella

BBQ CLAMS are a must to get, and sit outside on there pier deck

Dan Shallow

Salmon and Flounder stuffed with crabmeat , scallops and shrimp !

Todd A Williams

Love the bar in this place. Food is good. Nice place for a family dinner .

Nate Steiner

My favorite sea food place, get a drink on the schooner whether you walk on to it or dock your boat and climb up like I sometimes do.

Joe Bernardino

Don't forget the Diner when it's packed to the gills. Greatest breakfast in Cape May too!

Christina Evans

Next time I'm trying the lobster . It looked fabulous. Stuffed shrimp was good too. Didn't care for the sides too much.

Damien Lyles

Great place, nice people...there's a bit of a wait but its worth it.

Mareya Steinbacher

Spinach salad ???? halibut ???? calamari wasn’t great - Kids Chicken tenders ???? (to be expected)

Djaniella D.

Get a schooner and share with your date! Delicious lobster and a good amount of food for two
