This place has redeemed itself with the best tuna in Cape may. If you like blue moon then you will have to settle for UFO just as good. Ps if you like hummus they have it and its very good.
Justine BurkeAugust 7, 2013Great friendly spot in the middle of the "downtown" section of Cape May. Cajun chicken panini was awesome and the potato skins are HUGE. Quesadilla was average. Must-try place in CM.
Nate FolkertDecember 29, 2020in the winter you may be able to snag a sidewalk table if there’s a wait for tables inside. get a hot apple knocker to stay warm.
Lisa B.August 1, 2018You must have Lobster roll sandwich. The chicken Cesar salad is massive and really good. I will dream about those fries...
Brian NussAugust 26, 2017Great simple fish and chips and steamed turtleneck clams...celebrating one year anniversary of my first trip outside after the quadruple bypass!
the DaveSeptember 15, 2013South Philly Old World Style pork sandwich is so good other sandwiches should be ashamed of themselves, I pushed the fries off the plate & ate them off table, they weren't worthy of being on plate
ᴡ ElliotApril 29, 2015We were there in the off season, and this was the spot to be. It was packed, good live music, good local beer selection.
Noel GreenAugust 21, 2015Food was really good for lunch. Wings are excellent. Roast beef is tender and sliced thin. Service was also very attentive
NikksterAugust 8, 2015Great staff! Local, seasonal beers on draft. Why not try them all?! Be sure to venture down the boardwalk too.
Kevin BonnorSeptember 8, 2015We go to the Ugly Mug every summer. The food is very good. You must try the Shrimp salad sandwich.
Michael PlattSeptember 21, 2014Don't go for good service but go for great pub style food. Karaoke is also lots of fun. My wife loves the French fries.
Jim GillespieJune 15, 2013Decent food( typical Bar stuff) A good variety of beers on tap, and regular Joe / tourist attraction, peeps.... see eddy, the bartender, tell'em I sent ya :-)
Mark JuradoJuly 22, 2015Food is good. Recommend the Carolina burger. Live music. Good pub atmosphere!
Harmony HixSeptember 3, 2011Trust me on this: if you're gonna go for the crab cake, don't go for the special, spring for the 25.99 one because they will be so.good you'll be sorry if you don't.

Desirée FerencziJuly 1, 2013Nice to sit outside. Lobster roll is quite good. Bahama mama yummy but light on the alcohol.
Dana BrownJanuary 3, 2013Even during the low season it's still safe for out if town-ers , especially on three buck beer nights.
Ken GriggsJuly 29, 2011What a cool concept...if you are a local you get your own mug here and they hang it by bar... If you pass away they turn it to face the sea
