Fish House

Located on Sunset Beach in Cape May, this is the only eatery in the area, and it's often crowded—expect a wait for a table. It’s a great spot to grab a bite and quench your thirst, but be prepared for typical beachside pricing, especially on drinks. Overall, the food is of good quality, though I wouldn't recommend the grilled swordfish—it’s poorly prepared and not worth the cost. On the bright side, the drink and food menu offers something for everyone.

Stopped by just before the dinner rush. Absolutely beautiful chill spot with incredible food. I had the cold lobster roll and it was one of the best I've ever had. I didn't stay for the sunset but it provides an amazing view of the beach. They don't take reservations and it fills up fast, the line was out the door when I left, but honestly, its totally worth the wait. The staff was great too.

A hidden gem at Sunset Beach, Cape May At first, I thought this place was crowded simply because it’s the only restaurant on Sunset Beach. But when I arrived around 5 PM, it was surprisingly not too busy. I wasn’t planning to eat here originally, just grabbing something quick before watching the sunset—but it turned out to be a fantastic decision. Sunset Beach itself is a must-visit in Cape May. It has a beautiful shoreline, a peaceful atmosphere, and even a sunken WWII ship visible from the beach—truly a unique and scenic spot. The restaurant’s ambience is excellent, with thoughtfully designed decor and great ocean views. There’s a relaxed coastal vibe, and they’ve done a great job making the space both casual and inviting. We ordered two summer-special cocktails: the Cape May Diamond

Location can’t be beat. Some unique menu and drink options. Surprisingly generous portions. Definitely a great place to take anyone visiting Cape May.

We had a fantastic experience at The Fish House in Cape May! The food was delicious, everyone at our table loved what they ordered. The location can’t be beat, right on the beach, which made it a perfect spot to grab dinner before watching the flag ceremony. I had the fried Chicken Avocado Sandwich, and it was awesome, huge, fresh, and packed with flavor. My wife got the fish fry (basically fish and chips), and she raved about it. The fries were crisp and really good. The kids ordered chicken tenders and fries, and they were thrilled to find out their meals came with ice cream, they cleaned their plates and their bowls! Great food, friendly service, unbeatable location. We’ll definitely be back.
