Maybe I just like diner food, but I love the Ocean View. At one time or another, I've eaten breakfast, lunch or dinner there, and I've never been disappointed. Was just there a couple days ago, and had the grilled chicken sandwich lunch special that came with a cup of soup (no way was that canned soup - had big... more

Go for breakfast. But if you go for lunch or dinner, expect typical Greek diner fare: sawdust-dry chicken breast sandwiches, tasteless hamburgers, straight-from-the-can soups and pasta sauces, overpriced and oily "Greek salads." Do NOT expect "cuisine" here. Go here to fuel-up your stomach and leave. more

Unfortunately, I visited this restaurant while staying in Cape May. I ordered a baked chicken special that was basically a dry piece of chicken stuffed with bread and drenched in a yellow sauce that looked like vomit. I had to send it back because I couldn't even look at it. Then the waitress brought me a hamburger, which was a... more

This is a decent restaurant, but really more a diner than anything else. It seems that everyone there took home leftovers, which is not suprising considering the size of the portions. However, quantity isn't everything. My dinner was okay, but nothing special. The service was brusque, because our server was running around to tend to many tables at once during... more

My family and I have eaten dinner here, and we love this place. For dinner, my son and I both got Chicken Parmigana. It came with alot of chicken, and lots of pasta. It was a great price for what you pay for it. I'm definitely going back there again. more

Delicious food in large portions, and very reasonable prices! We were a large group and we were seated quickly. Our server was very sweet and provided excellent service. Very clean and conveniently located. Juice and coffee included in the low-priced of the breakfast specials. Wouldn't go anywhere else for breakfast after our fantastic experience. Great for families and children. more

We go to Cape May every year and we have almost all our meals at the Ocean View. It's like an old time Hometown diner with great food at good prices, an option when you stay at a place that has so many nice, but expensive restaurants. You get plenty of great food at value prices and the staff is... more

This was the first place we found that was open after getting off the Cape May/Lewes ferry. After reading the other reviews, I thought this would be much better. While it is Beach Avenue, which parallels the ocean, there is no view of the beach; its a good view people walking the strand near the beach. The service was spotty,... more

Spent the weekend in CM and had breakfast both days. Creamed chipped beef gravy over toast, french toast and the omelettes were wonderful. We walked from Washington Street Mall to OV, ate and walked back in about 45 minutes. That should tell you how quick the service was. Highly recommend. more

We've been to the Ocean View for breakfast several times. Service has always been friendly and attentive. The food is excellent, the portions generous, and to top it off, the bill will not leave you with a bad taste in your mouth, as some other pancake houses on the island will. Recommended. more
