Some of the best breakfast we’ve had in a long time! The chocolate chip pancakes were so thick yet fluffy and delicious, better than almost any diner pancake I’ve had. We also got the breakfast sandwich with pork roll (thick cut), cheddar cheese, over medium eggs, and a croissant. It was so good, we couldn’t even finish the whole sandwich. Even the potatoes were soft and tasty with some nice crunchy edges. So surprised by how good the food was, and our server was even better! When we’re back in Cape May, we’ll be back from breakfast!

What a nice place. I’m more fond of the back area near the bar, it has a more relaxing vibe. The food was very good, the apple pie french toast was excellent. I’d go back any time. Very friendly staff. Haven’t been here in 12 years but still as good as I remember ..
I will mention i would have preferred not to hear the Rhianna album the entire time I was there but you cant always get classical or Sinatra

Highlight: ✨️Orange Almond French Toast✨️
One of the best flavored French toasts I’ve ever had!
No reservations, walked up and were given a buzzer with 1.5 hour wait time. Told by staff to come back to area 45 min after receiving buzzer. We were ready and seated within 10 min of coming back (50-55 min total wait). Service was good. Food arrived after a short wait (we were very hungry so it felt longer than it was) All requests were accommodated quickly and food was well made.

We visit Cape May every December and eat here every year. Festive atmosphere, friendly staff and consistently delicious food. Fresh, large portions. The menu is varied, with vegetarian and vegan options. I’ve never had a bad dish.

We came here on a Saturday in December and while busy only waited 25 minutes. The food was excellent. The maple waffle chicken was excellent however difficult to eat. But it was worth it. The special omelette with chorizo and shrimp was excellent.

Fruit flies fruit flies.
if you close the does an turn the air conditioner on it will keep them dormant .
Had breakfast here the day before, eggs a pancake were good enough so came back the next night for dinner. What a mistake.
I had both specials massaged kale and couscous ok, the monkfish etouffee flavorless
But the real reason for the review is the chicken breast with the cream jus. Cold dry chicken that was definitely a day old.
Are waitress Joanna was the only bright spot of this place . Honest, polite, courteous
It’s a shame she had to apologize for the food and the flies .

Any other restaurant in cape may would’ve provided a better dining experience than this place save your money because it definitely wasn’t cheap either. Every item that we ordered was disappointing even down to the soda, and the icing on the cake for me was when I was eating my leftovers I bit into a piece of plastic baked into my pizza… Clearly there is no food safety precautions taking place in that kitchen and seriously has me questioning what other inedible things may have been contaminating my food.
Updating my review after speaking with the joke of a manager Kyle. He was extremely rude and ignorant and hung up on me. He actually said “ I think we are past the point of rectifying the situation since you already left a review.” Maybe since we are past the point of rectification the health department should be my next call…

Not as impressive as expected
This restaurant offers a wide variety of breakfast options, so I had high hopes. I ordered the Brussels sprouts fritters, but they didn’t taste as good as I expected. There was still a strong, unpleasant green taste from the vegetables, and honestly, I don’t think deep-frying works well for this dish.
I also tried the award-winning cupcake, but it was just average—nothing special. The pancakes were underwhelming too; I’ve had better at other places, despite all the hype in the reviews.
The orange juice was supposed to be freshly squeezed, but I couldn’t tell if it actually was. It tasted overly sweet and artificial, more like something with added sugar than real juice.
The one dish I did enjoy was the eggs Benedict—the thick-cut bacon made it really satisfying, and that plate was the highlight of my meal.
Overall, it’s a place you could try, but you’re not missing out if you don’t. There are definitely better breakfast spots in the city.

1st time stop at Mad Batter! We opted for the crab cake for an app with the main course being filet mignon and the shrimp/scallops + Lobster ravioli.. everything was delicious! Our waitress was very pleasant and friendly! Would highly recommend.

Soild brunch spot in Cape May! Even with a 45 min wait, the experience was totally worth it. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff was welcoming, and the food delivered big on flavor. The corned beef hash was the highlight—crispy, tender, and deliciously seasoned. Breakfast potatoes were spot-on too. Portions were reasonable, and the chicken salad croissant was a pleasant surprise in both size and taste. Highly recommend for a laid-back, tasty brunch!
