Restaurant Review

Cape May's largest restaurant offers waterfront dining and fresh caught sea food at moderate prices.

The Lobster House is a very popular place for casual family dining and groups looking for fresh caught seafood with an alcoholic beverage.

An institution for almost fifty years, the restaurant also features a year- round fish market, a coffee shop and seasonal outside raw bar as well as snacks and cocktails served aboard a docked schooner.

Located right on the waterfront and next to the commercial fish docks, the sea food is as fresh as you can get it. Due to the the huge volume of dishes prepared and served, the food tends to be mass cooked and lacks the creativity in dishes found in other smaller cape May restaurants.

The menu contains a large variety sea food dishes that are well prepared with fresh ingredients.

Suggest you try the Crab Imperial, whole lobsters cooked to order, crabs, mussels and oysters, scallops and King Crab Legs as well as traditional filet mignon, strip steak and Chicken Française.

The service is friendly, although tends to be rushed or spotty during the summer months.

The Lobster House is child friendly and offers a children's menu.

Open daily for lunch and dinner, the restaurant does not take reservations.
