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!
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!
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.
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 .
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!
perfect food and kind service . everything fresh and yummy! good prices comparing to the neighbourhood!
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.
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!
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!!
Everything is fantastic. Best raw clams ! Jonah crabs , cream of crab soup and shrimp melt are my favorites.. East outside!
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 !
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 !
Old school seaside dining and going strong! They don’t do corkage, but the wine list is pretty decent. ???? #Maycation2023
Delicious food. They give u plenty. If you are too full take dessert home from market
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.
Always a great meal! If you are alone instead of the big dinning room try the diner part of the restaurant .
The lobster bisque is to die for, would drive from Philly just to have it!
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.
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.
Get the lobster bisque , and Lobster House Combo.
Everything is super fresh and delicious. The crab cake is full of crab meat and the scallops are fantastic!
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
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.
It's the Lobster House! Best seafood in Cape May! They have a great breakfast diner too!
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
Skip the restaurant do the take out and raw bar instead and sit out on the docks! Go after lunch rush and relax.
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.
Very good. Fried Lobster was new to me, delicious! It's a shame I live in Ohio, would love to eat here every week!
Make sure to get a cup of coffee after your meal, perfect brew and only $1!
The apps, salad , and dessert is delicious. My lobster tail was chewy and too tough to enjoy.
great food and service. ask for kasey she did an awesome job!! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting cape may! ;)
The scallops , lobster , & the crab stuffing taste well ????
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
The outdoor patio is a great way to spend the afternoon in Cape May!
The lobster sandwich is out of this world. Put a generous helping of horseradish on it. Yummmmm
"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!
BBQ CLAMS are a must to get, and sit outside on there pier deck
Salmon and Flounder stuffed with crabmeat , scallops and shrimp !
Love the bar in this place. Food is good. Nice place for a family dinner .
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.
Don't forget the Diner when it's packed to the gills. Greatest breakfast in Cape May too!
Next time I'm trying the lobster . It looked fabulous. Stuffed shrimp was good too. Didn't care for the sides too much.
Great place, nice people...there's a bit of a wait but its worth it.
Spinach salad ???? halibut ???? calamari wasn’t great - Kids Chicken tenders ???? (to be expected)
Get a schooner and share with your date! Delicious lobster and a good amount of food for two
We had a great experience. Service was quick. Food was great & what a beautiful sunset view! Only thing I didnt like was the tiny cafeteria style dipping sauces (cocktail & tartar) - Kassie
Always get the crab soup. And get a cup of oyster crackers on the side. - Chrissy Coogan
We had the Grouper Reuben, conch fritters, ahi tuna salad, fish tacos, and boston roll sushi and would recommend them all -- delicious! Service wasn't too bad, runners took away a plate before done. - Bianca Navarro Bowman
PERFECT spot for cocktails & raw bar. Oysters, shrimp & crab cocktail are all delicious. Fabulous view & the wait is significantly shorter than the restaurant. Come at sunset for frozen drinks ???????? - MSC
Really beautiful, quiet beach. Has a small eatery on site for burgers etc. would be perfect for kite flying and long walks. Beach has a lot of stones & diamonds though so bring appropriate footwear. - Justine Burke
Quaint New England atmosphere, pleasant shops restaurants and bars. Come here for a lovely evening after the beach. ⛵ - Filter Scan / Sean
