What a wonderful find! November night, well into the 60’s, and we wanted to sit outside. Found Freda’s Cafe with a large heat lamp warming the 4 outdoor tables. We ordered the duck and the grouper (duck was amazing, grouper was ok, but the fish came with crabcakes that more than made-up for the mediocre fish). Flossy, our server was exceptional, which made the food and ambiance that much better. Save room for coffee & dessert (we chose the Bread Pudding).

After visiting Cape May for many years, we finally discovered Freda’s. What a gem! Service was warm, friendly and so personable. The food was way above and beyond our expectations. Rack of lamb was cooked perfectly and expertly seasoned. The beef Wellington was fantastic. Tender, tasty and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was surely somewhere between kitschy/retro/80’s but still cozy. It didn’t really matter since food is so great. We will definitely be back here.

Been going to Cape May for 25 years. This is the first year. I’ve been to Freda’s on the recommendation of a friend, although it is on the side street and doesn’t get as much traffic as the main mall, the minute we walked in we were warmly greeted by our server, Eddie, and treated to an evening of elegant and Upscale delicious food. Because it’s BYOB, we were able to bring a delicious bottle of white wine to enjoy throughout the meal. We ordered shumai as a starter to share. Each one was tender filled with seafood and the accompaniments were delicious. Then we ordered their special crabcakes. These were not typical crabcakes loaded with breading for stuffing these crabcakes were filled to the brim with big white pieces of lump crab cake sweetened by a mango Sauce at the bottom served over mashed potatoes with asparagus. I feel like I found a gem in Cape May and an alternative to all the old standards. I would clean up the place and do a little marketing to make it a little bit more modern but otherwise I wouldn’t change a thing.

Amazing food, options, and atmosphere. Courses paced almost perfect. Dinner was way too long and it wasn’t busy. Also…a little smoozing and friendly convo goes a long way towards tips. They aren’t deserved they are earned. Work girl

Today I saw the Google reviews & decided to give this place a try. I didn’t realize I would need a reservation on a Monday night, but I did. The waitress was so nice. She told me to come back in 1 1/2 hours & I would get a table, no need to reserve. Even though it was still busy, she kept her word. They did have a note on their door during the day asking customers to be patient because they can’t get enough help. Though this was the case, the quality of the food didn’t suffer. The lamb chops were superb! My waitress was great. Just be patient & understanding of their situation & you won’t be disappointed. Michelin grade food, hands-down!

We celebrated a 50th Wedding Anniversary at Freda’s Café. From my first phone conversation with Steve. I was confident that we were in for a real treat. I was not disappointed. We had 22 guests. Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted and made feel comfortable immediately. Our main course options were amazing and every one was delicious, I had the crab cakes ad they were the best I have ever had. All our guests were raving about the food. We completed our meal with a superb dessert made in house by the pastry chef. The coffee was delicious (we are all coffee drinkers) Flossy the server went above and beyond and was on top of all the details. I highly recommend Freda’s Café, a hidden gem right in the center of Cape May.

Freda’s Cafe is great culinary experience. That is one of the best I have had in Cape May, county. The name cafe is a great way to hide a special dinning experience. The decor fits with the s cape may. Style and building it hides in.

We had a wonderful dinner at Freda’s. Somehow this restaurant fell off of our radar and we hadn’t dined here since before the pandemic. Freda’s is a single room restaurant, so it is small and intimate. This is a BYOB establishment so you can bring your own wine/libation and save on liquor costs. That said, we found the price points to be very fair particularly in light of the quality meal and service we received. The staff seems to be long-time employees versus transitional workers, and they are vested in the restaurant’s success and your dining enjoyment. We had absolutely wonderful shrimp dumplings (shumai type) that were very memorable – we can’t remember having better. The seafood soup was delicious as well. Bread was served with the appetizers and your meal as well as a nice side salad – both of which were nice added touches. Our dinner entrees (which were in the low $40 range) were cooked to perfection. We enjoyed the filet and rack of lamb each of which was accompanied by delicious sauces and vegetables. We didn’t have room for dessert. We were delighted when some neighbors were seated next to us and they raved that Freda’s is their “go to” Cape May restaurant. We clearly understand why. We will be returning on our own. Definitely worth trying.

A best kept secret in cape may! Every part of the meal was to die for. I enjoyed a stuffed salmon off the specials menu for my entrée. Cooked to perfection. Finished off the evening with a flourless cake that melted in my mouth.
