Restaurant Review

Few restaurants wear the Jersey Shore's casual new spirit as well as Lucky Bone's Backwater Grille.

This very popular family restaurant, owned by Michael and David Craig, a popular Cape May restaurant family, is a departure from the many pricey Cape May fine dining restaurants as they specialize in serving up good quality, innovative dishes, that are well prepared with fresh ingredients ----- at a very modest price.

It's the best family restaurant in Cape May; serving up quality food that appeals to all ages at a reasonable price.

The decor is bright and airy with contemporary styling, and the atmosphere is energetic and often noisy.

The restaurant is known for serving up healthy dishes with 0 trans fat, with their soups, sauces, and desserts made on the premises to preserve the flavor and control over the unhealthy fat content.

Some of the popular dishes include grilled Cuban-rubbed pork chop, crab and shrimp cakes, crusted brick oven thin pizza, baby back ribs, filet mignon and the Cape May Flatfish.

Their Lucky Bones Burger, grilled with 10 oz. choice ground beef, bacon, mushrooms, and onions is one of the best in Cape May.

They are open for lunch with a lighter fare and features a variety of burgers and sandwiches; grilled veggie burger with herb mayonnaise, as well as a number of tasty salads. The shrimp salad sandwich is the best in Cape May.

The restaurant does not take reservations, and the waiting lines can be long. If not patient enough to wait, it is suggested you come during lunch or very early during the evening.

It is very family and child friendly. During the peak hours the restaurant can be noisy.
