    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.

    Great 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.

    in 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.

    You must have Lobster roll sandwich. The chicken Cesar salad is massive and really good. I will dream about those fries...

    South 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

    Food was really good for lunch. Wings are excellent. Roast beef is tender and sliced thin. Service was also very attentive

    Trust 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.

    Overpriced. Ate half of the Calif Turkey Sandwich and it sat in my stomach like a ton of bricks. Bacon had taste and texture of rubber. Husband had the bacon cheeseburger and now has food poisoning.
