My wife and I stopped in for the $5 burger special but upon realization that they didn't come with fries we ended up ordering the bacon cheeseburger and a blue cheese burger. Both were amazing!!! The meat was very juicy. Our server was just a huge plus. Very nice young man who we even ended up striking a conversation with... More

This is a casual place with a bar in the middle of the Washington St shopping area of Cape May. It was a cold spring day and I wanted lunch...I got the regular Buffalo Wings (with bones.) They were very good. Crispy on the outside and steaming hot and juicy on the inside. The wings themselves were quite meaty and... More

This place likely only survives because it is in the little shopping area and walking distance from the beach. Doesn't seem clean. Musty smell, and some strong cleaner that is constantly being sprayed to wipe down the tables are the overriding smells. As others have commented, we should have just left. The "chicken" in the the quesadilla was abundant, which... More

We were starving and this seemed better than hot dogs but after our meal, we wondered if we should have just had the hot dogs we passed up.... We wanted to try their signature pierogie appetizer - they were out of them. We ordered the potato skins instead - bland and greasy. Kids had standard fare - grilled cheese and... More

Should have known by the smell and interior that the place was a dive. We hesitated to order, but my kids were starving. Bad idea. Their Mac and cheese was 4.50 a serving, and right out of a Kraft Mac and cheese box. Seriously? Also, we ordered juice for them that my four year old son announced was "disgusting". I... More

We had lunch here and it was very good - Crab Melt special was delicious and a great deal. $14 I believe and had a ton of crab. The Blue Cheese Burger was great. Place isn't fancy, maybe even a bit run down but it was very good.

We usually go to the Jackson Mountain Cafe for lunch, but this time we went for dinner, and it was excellent. Very good service, and a good value for the quality of the food.

We had lunch and dinner there on several occasions and was always happy with the service and food. It's also centrally located in the shopping district which made it very easy to get to (no car needed if in the area).

The first clue should have been the waitresses dirty apron. It was only 1:00PM for a Sunday lunch and it looked like it was used for a week. The smell also had that old beer smell. I ordered a Caesar salad with Blackened Tuna. It was server in a blue bowl with a dirty rim to boot. The casar had... More

decided to take drive down to Cape May last weekend. Husband was thirsty for a beer so we stopped in here. The wings were half price so we decided to give it a go. Yummy!!! The bartender was friendly and the place wasn't huge but it was really nice. Def will go back.
