Restaurant Review

Most dining and drinking patrons report they come here for the excellent inexpensive food and nostalgic, salty, nautical atmosphere. Many diners report the Scallops are the best in Cape May Value: Excellent Noise Level: Moderate - high during peak times Dress: Very casual Recommended For: Diners who enjoy coming to an unpretentious nautical bar for nostalgia and good inexpensive food and drink Not Recommended For: Diners who prefer fine dining and more complex food Recommended dishes: Scallops, Rebel burger, Chili, Chowder, and Ribs Liquor: Full bar

Mayers Bar and Restaurant is not your typical Cape May upscale Victorian restaurant. Located off the beaten path, Mayer's is a favorite amongst locals, fishermen, charter boat crewmen, and visitors who come to savor the inexpensive food and drinks, and nostalgia, in a no-frills setting away from the pretentious crowd often found at other Cape May restaurants.

Run by Bruce Axelson, the place is located near a fishing channel with moored boats. The interior will not rate a lot of stars for excellence. Here you will find worn tiles and dated wooden floor boards that had been the scene over the years for fisherman. The bar seats about 24 and extends though out the room with the small dining area for seating for another 15 located behind the bar. Adorning the walls are a few photos of prize winning catches, scallop shells, nautical bric a bracs, and some sports photos.

Chef Axelson can be found standing over a small four burner stove savoring his hot spicy chili and signature scallops and other favorites the restaurant has come to be known for. The bartenders are especially friendly and welcoming and on occasion can be heard dishing out some salty language.

The limited menu of around eight inexpensive items can be found on a board mounted on the wall.
