Mugs cover the ceiling of this unpretentious standby with standard pub grub & weekend live music.

Food came out fast, service was great! I got chicken cheese steak, wish I did regular cheese steak but that my preference. Was still a good time! Also had Cajun burger, that was great!

We ate at the Ugly Mug today for lunch. The food was great, including the fall off the bone ribs, hot roast beef sandwich (which had enough meat to make 2-3 sandwhiches), the oriental mixed greens salad with grilled chicken, and the hot boneless wings and French fries.
Service wasnt bad, just a little slow. Other than that, we really liked this place, and would absolutely go back again

Thought this place was pretty good for being in the middle of a shopping center. Very unique look to the place, and all 6 of us were pretty happy with their meal. $180 after tip for 6 people isn’t too bad in an area like this. They sell pretty good beer on tap too!! Would for sure come back.
Portions were good, Wedge salad was delicious. Margarita Pizza was thin crust so it wasn’t too heavy at all. Only slight complaint is we wish they served fries with the burgers instead of potato chips, but they did state it in the menu so we could’ve tried to be more specific. Great experience overall!!

We ordered the Lobster Roll with French Fries & Coleslaw. Although I didn’t care for the coleslaw (tasted greasy), I loved the Lobster Roll! It was delicious, fresh and the portion was generous. In addition, we got the Big Garden Salad with Crab Meat. This was also a generous portion with fresh lumps of crab Meat. Ask for Tristan when you come, he’s a great server.

Typical bar/pub feel. Indoor and outdoor seating. Food was semi flavorless and mediocre. Burgers are hand made and huge! Nice amount of hand cut cheese from a block and garnishes are fresh, as well as the bun! BUT…not seasoned. Fries are typical pub fries with no real pizazz. Sweet potato fries were half uncooked, half soggy. Drinks come in plastic cups outside unless you’re getting tap beer. Chicken fingers are traditional frozen bulk-bagged tenders. Chicken wings were par. Hot dog for the kids was huge, and grilled which was nice!
There’s half a dozen or so places like it in the area, with 3, including this one, on the mall. So pick your poison. You can find something for everyone here. But it’s nothing that you’ll be raving about, nor walking away wishing you didn’t go. If you’re hungry and can’t decide, just pick one of them and eat (pubs/bars in the area).

Tourist trap type of place on the Washington Street mall. This used to be a great dive bar with cheap food and drink a long time ago. Now it still looks and feels like an old dive bar but prices are sky high. Very dimly lit restaurant with hard as a rock chairs and booths. Food is ok but priced as if it were a fine dining restaurant. A plain burger is 18 dollars and comes with nothing, you can add fries for 6 dollars. Burgers are also from frozen so dont expect too much. BLT came with no mayo, completely dry. My daughter got a soft drink that was 5 dollars. A draft beer was 10 dollars. Service was good and my 9 dollar cup of chilli was good also so ill add a star for that. I guess they just get by on their location here nowadays which is of course convenient. Overall i would go somewhere else if you are with your family in Cape May.

We’re drawn in because of the 1 1/2 lobster deal posted at their entrance. I was skeptical at first because of how cheap was the lobster. To my surprise, it was the best meal I had on our Cape May trip. The Lobster & Clams Fried Strips were winner to me! This whole feast only costs us $62 + tip. Check them out when you visit Cape May.

With family in from out of town we stopped in for a quick lunch. Very disappointed with the food. The overall attitude was nice, but could use a little TLC since every time someone bumped the fence outside a piece fell off. The Ugly Mug Fries were a huge overpriced waste. Looked good, but tasted like a frozen French Fry with a canned cream gravy and old bay. Crab was nonexistent. Everything from the sandwiches, to the soups were just extremely overpriced and underwhelming. It was a hot day and I didn’t even receive a single refill on my drink. So much potential but lost me.

Stopped by for a quick drink and snack during a pit stop in Cape May. A pint of Cape May lager was $10, which felt a bit steep for a local brew, even by tourist-town standards. On the upside, the pizza was surprisingly good and hit the spot. The waitress was okay — not particularly friendly, but not unpleasant either. Overall, it was a decent experience, though not especially memorable.

Extremely disappointing experience.
Carlos was by far the rudest person I’ve ever encountered at a restaurant — completely unprofessional and disrespectful. The rest of the crew wasn’t any better; they were impolite and acted like customers were a burden. The atmosphere felt tense instead of welcoming. Definitely not worth coming back. There are plenty of better spots that actually value their guests.
