The café was introduced to me as part of a Christmas dinner package, and offered by one of the most reputable and lovely Inn in the Cape May area. It was touted by the owners of this inn as one of their favorite places to eat and as one of the “best dinning experience in town.” Needless to say, it... more

Best burger I've had in Cape May. Very attentive staff. Fair prices. Decor has seen better days, but otherwise a very pleasant place. more

This may be the best restaurant in the US with a deli attached and where you have to go outside to get to the single restroom (I am glad it was not raining!). The sesame tuna and paella specials were both excellent, creative and ample. It is BYO and a small salad and delciious small loaves of bread are included,... more

We just had a great meal at Freda's Cafe. The owner of the B&B we are staying in recommended it, as did some of the guests we met this evening. So, off we went. It is located at the northern end of the Washington Street Mall, and has a large plate glass window that overlooks the street. There are about... more

Freda's was recommended to us by fellow guests during a recent stay at a Cape May B & B. They particularly liked the crab cakes and lamb. My husband and I both ordered the crab cakes and they were, by far, absolutely the best crab cakes we have ever had and we've eaten crab cakes in many, many places. If... more

I've tried Freda's for lunch twice, and I liked it both times. The food is good. Most recently, I had a Chilean sea bass sandwich there, and my husband had a Kobe burger. Both sandwiches come with what look like hand-cut fries---very tasty and not at all greasy. Also, I like the little touches that make a big difference. For... more

This place is AWESOME! The food is unbelievable! It must be one of - if not the - BEST in Cape May....I would recommend everyone to try this place. Doesn't look like much, but you WILL NOT be dissappointed! The place is very small, reservations suggested. TRY IT! TRY IT! TRY IT! (It is a bring your own, so don't... more

We have eaten dinner at Freda's many times. I love the rack of lamb. My son loves the soup and the crabcakes, my husband always wants to go there. You may pay a little more than a eating at the Lobster House but the food cannot be compared!!! I refuse to wait in long lines for mediocre food. I especially... more

Our innkeeper (Anna Marie) highly recommended this for our first meal in Cape May. Walking past it, we almost missed it and if we didn't know better, we probably wouldn't have considered it since it looked like a storefront. We were a bit early for our reservations, so we asked if they would hold our wine (BYOB) until we came... more
