Had a quick lunch yesterday at 5 West. Wedge salad was excellent, with some great substitutions suggested by the server. Meatball sub was also good. Nice place, nice prices and good food. The bar looked nice but we didn't visit there. Cape May Winery is right down the street!! read more

5West Pub is still operating during covid-19!! They have lots of outdoor space available! All picnic tables are socially distanced and the wait staff wore masks the entire time. We had to wait about 30 minutes on a Saturday night for a table for 6 which wasn't too bad! We were able to stop inside and order drinks at the bar while we waited. Once seated, there was live music which created a fun atmosphere for the summer! The loaded fries were delicious with bacon bits, onions, and cheese! All of the pizzas were huge but delicious. The buffalo chicken and popeye (spinach) pizzas were favorites! The crab cake tacos were also a hit and highly recommended. A fun atmosphere, great staff, and delicious pizza! read more

Great food and service. Small water cups. My associate and I have never left a restaurant less hydrated.

My friends had been coming here for happy hour so finally I joined them last wee.. I really enjoyed the pork sliders and 3 meatballs along with a special drink I ordered - super tasty and a great solid glass which I like. All the food that came out looked amazing. The waitress did not take any food back to the kitchen - excellent. This might be a new thing for me. Thanks 5 West! Can't wait to hang out on the outside porch too! read more

What a surprise! The food was extremely well done. The Buffalo shrimp were so tasty, they reminded me of Key West pinks, so good. The crab cake had only a bit of filler, and was delicious. The pizza was really done well, the dough is pretty good, sauce was light and not sweet. Now, for the Cajun shrimp. Our server recommended it, and was she ever spot on. The sauce they use, which is garlic, butter, and a few other things was one of the best sauces I ve had in a long time. We kept it when our entrees came, and dipped EVERYTHING in it, the fish tacos, the crab cake, the pizza, if I had ice cream, it would have gone on that too. We will definitely return. read more

First off , there was a 45 min wait, so I thought since it was so packed, we might as well wait to see what the hype was all about. It was a rainy night, but we waited outside under the overhang. As we waited there is was funny to watch people trying to to park in a flooded spot. One person even tried jumping over it from the drivers seat and got soaked, they ended up not even staying for dinner because the wait was too long...all that for nothing. Anyway to the review... If I were to come back it would be for the tater tots, Parmesan cheese sauce, bacon, and a fried egg on top, it was amazing. The rest of the meal was ok, I got the fried cod sandwich, fried to a crisp, but not seasoned at all. The cheese steak was also nothing special. The problem was we started the meal off with a tater totes bang, and the rest was meh. Not worth the 45 min wait. read more

I was a part of a day wine tour and our lunch spot was at 5 West Pub. It was a pre-fixed menu including a small salad and a choice between 6-7 entree's. The best part was that because we were on the day wine tour we were allowed to bring bottles from our wine stops to lunch as a BYO atmosphere. It was a quick light lunch to fill our bellies before we went to our next two wine stops. I ordered the crab cake sandwich which did not disappoint. It was a huge patty filled with crab and tasted fresh. Service was quick and attentive. read more

While down the shore today we were looking for a place to eat. With it still being off season finding something open was kind of limited. We decided on 5WP based on the reviews. Now, we've been by here more than a few times and never really considered eating here. We arrived around 5pm and were sat immediately. The place is very nicely decorated and has a modern feel. Our server was extremely nice, solid and on top of her game. We started with the cheesesteak egg rolls. While good they were extremely small and weren't really egg rolls as listed on the menu. They were spring rolls which are much smaller. At almost $11, they weren't worth the price. They were good, not great. The onions that accompanied were undercooked and the spicy ketchup wasn't spicy at all. For entrees my wife went with the jersey salad and I opted for the cuban torta based on the servers recommendation. My wife's salad was excellent. Everything was fresh and delicious. All ingredients came together well and we didn't have a single complaint. They were generous with the proscuitto. My sandwich was a bit of a disappointment. The brioche bun was toasted nice. My pork while moist was overly salty. The avocado and habanero crema were nice. The crema had some nice heat to it. The bacon wasn't great, it was cold and chewy. The bottom of my bun was soaked and became very soggy. The fries though were legit. Hand cut and crispy but did lack some seasoning. 3 stars today but we would give it another shot. read more

What an amazing place to eat! The food was literally amazing, as a picky eater even I had a hard time deciding what to get. Alyse, our server, was wonderful, kind, and VERY accommodating to the allergies someone in our party had. The atmosphere was calm and quiet, not rowdy or loud at all. I highly recommend eating here. 5 stars for the 5 West Pub! read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, it won't be our last. We shared the mozzarella sticks and a white pizza, the crust was amazing, some of the best we have had in the area and the topping perfect. The mozzarella sticks were crisp and hot, the marinara sauce very good. The hangar steak and hand cut fries were beautifully seasoned and cooked perfect. Our party also had the cheesesteak and shrimp creole. We all enjoyed everything. Our server Rebecca was helpful, courteous and catered to all our needs. read more

5 West Pub pairs good food with spectacular service. Upon entering, my friend and I were immediately greeted and seated. Within 5 minutes, our waiter had arrived to take our orders. I decided to order the flounder but was then explained that the flounder was only available after 4pm. Fortunately, the kind staff were able to accommodate me despite their policy. Our food promptly arrived after just over 10 minutes of waiting. The fish was seasoned excellently, and the rice paired well with the flavors of the dish. The flounder was moist, but it wasn't as tender as it could've been, indicating that it was slightly overcooked. read more

Great food and service but they have to do something about the acoustics. The noise level is deafening.

Only a handful of places open in the Wildwoods this time of year. It's a Saturday with convention center events going on. The few open restaurants/bars get crowded!! We remembered this place. Missed happy hour prices on drinks and an appetizer as they stop at 6pm. Sat at bar maybe 10 mins before table for two was ready. Perfect location by two musicians who started playing at 6pm. Classic rock songs with volume at listenable. We both ordered the burger platter medium well done and Fries or salad came with it! It arrived timely and everything was done to perfection and .....Hot!!! There are tables for two, four and up to eight. The lights we're comfortably low and has a relaxing and mature feel about it! One look at the menu and the very reasonable prices catch your attention! The burger included fries, pickle ... instead of chips! All for $14.99! Service was pleasant and speedy. Only two waitresses but they hustled and food runners were efficient! Local and other craft beers on tap. A line of people waiting for a table and the bar seats filled by like 6:15pm!! Some stood by bar drinking and waiting for their table and being respectful of those eating in tables for two by the bar. Listening to the two musicians made time go by!! Looking for a place outside of the Wildwoods and Cape May town? Here it is! read more

Great food with a good staff. When your looking for something great at a fair price try here.

After visiting this restaurant for two summers in a row,today a local told me why it's called Five West. It's 5 miles west from their other restaurant in Cape May. I Can't authenticate it's accuracy but if it's true, it's pretty cool. Regardless I'll keep coming back many times in summer because it's just a really cool place to eat or meet a friend for a drink. I've tried over 50% of the menu some items multiple times and everything has been fantastic. But my absolute favorite is the South Philly meatball appetizer. It's just like an old South Philly Grandmother would make. You get 2 Huge meatballs and I mean huge that are made from beef pork and veal topped with marinara and ricotta cheese. Sometimes when I go in just for lunch this is plenty enough for a meal. The cocktails that we've had there have all been good and reasonably priced. Inside the decor is warm and inviting and the service is always good. read more

5 West Pub - BEST crab bisque on the entire east coast. Every spoonful has a big chunk. Very reasonably priced. - Pubs Near Me - North Cape May, New Jersey

The server said their number one seller was the crab cakes but I hadn't seen one photo on yelp! So here it is, the crab cakes and Mac and cheese entree. Both were very delicious! The center of my Mac and cheese was a bit cold but it didn't ruin anything because you know cheese. My husband had a burger and fries and devoured it all. We split the flourless chocolate cake for dessert and it was amazing! I never had a flourless cake, apparently it is very dense and rich. A Saturday evening is a hot time and parking comes at a premium. Giving 4 stars because the food was great and so was the atmosphere but our server seemed in a real hurry, left us without refills and it took a little while to actually get our food. Overall we would go again. read more

Went for Happy Hour 3-6 on a Wednesday. got there maybe 5:20 and told there was a 35 min wait. Asked if we got seated after 6 if we could still get the happy hour prices but were told no. Luckily we were seated before 6. Although it doesn't show on the menu, I was told we could order chicken fingers at the happy hour price and sure enough we could :) Besides the loaded fries being very soggy and drenched in too much cheese, the chicken fingers and the pork pot stickers were very good!! When I got the bill, I saw an extra $4 charged for 2 extra dipping sauces for my chicken fingers. We got two orders of chicken fingers with honey mustard so we asked if we could get BBQ sauce. We weren't told there was an extra charge, it was just put on our bill, and come on...$2? I probably would of let it slide for $1 each even though it was a regular little plastic cup. Honestly one cup really didn't do it anyway for the amount of chicken fingers. I spoke with manager "nicely" thinking he would take it off and he did not. That really isn't good customer service and since I only liked the place and didn't LOVE it, I will not be going back just for that reason. read more

Food is always good! The only complaint I have is that they have no hot water in the bathrooms for hand washing, very unsettling especially if employees must wash hands before returning to work! read more

This place is rock solid good food - have been here more times than I can count - always delicious fresh food.

We recently got takeout and it was a very smooth process and food was top notch !! read more

Summer is busy and you may have to Wait for a table, but it's worth it. The staff was friendly and attentive. The portions were Plentiful and really delicious.

Been going to 5 West for years, one of my favorite spots and open all year! Try the crab cake tacos. :)

Not happy. Got there at 7 with a party of 4. 20 to 25 mins. Ok. After 25 minutes, still waiting The only party of 4 since we got there and no movement. Not their fault. We enquired about the big open table and were told it is for big parties only. After 50 minutes we decided to go. I asked the woman at the hostess station to inform the owner to possibly rethink the policy of holding the table. Wouldn't he rather have had the 4 dinners sold, then to hold on a possible big party that might never come? A little flexibility and accommodation might be the better course. She told me she was the manager. Domino's delivered. read more

We love 5 West -we have eaten in and taken out in the past. We were really looking forward to our take out tonight but it did leave us feel disappointed. The cheesesteak egg rolls were decent but more like spring rolls. $11 and they are thin and only give you 3. My husbands crab tacos were amazing and the best part of our meal however the fries were soft and mushy. My crab bisque was also very good. Unfortunately my Cobb salad was inedible. The lettuce was bad and wilted, my to go container was filled with water at the bottom and the lettuce was soggy. There didn't seem to be any dressing just water. I couldn't eat it. We do like this place but we won't rush back. read more

Been going to 5 West Pub for 10 years. Will not be returning. My husband ordered a burger which have always been great. He asked me to taste. I had put in my napkin. Had Sour slightly bitter taste. Waitress took back. And asked my husband if he would like something else he got a pizza. Tried to charge us for both. But apologized when brought to her attention. But my main concern is that no one else gets served this beef. I am concerned about the non schalant attitude of this pub. read more

We've been coming here for years and have always loved coming here and now things are even better! When you sit down there's these little glasses on the table - fear not - they bring you an entire cold old fashion bottle of water. Excellent new add!!! It's a very slightly altered menu but one that is really accommodating and affordable especially in 2024! The food was delicious! So delicious! We had wings, clam steamers with a broth to DIE FOR AND ample garlic bread for dipping, dirty shrimp and calamari. Our server was excellent and it was her first day!! If she didn't tell us we wouldn't have known and THAT is a management/company who cares to hire the very best! Also - we had a gift card and now you can leave a tip on the gift card which is new! Excellent add! The rewards program has changed slightly but it's 2024 so that's fine. The only minor comment I have is for the chef is to leave the sauce OFF the calamari. That calamari was SO GOOD - let that fried crispiness and FRESHNESS of the calamari stand on its own - the sauce just made the breaded coating a mess - I still ate it all up because the calamari was so good but in the future I'm asking for that sauce on the side! . Besides that - chefs kiss to everything else! Excellent food and excellent staff! Looking forward to many many more visits!!! read more

Good food for the price. Good service and menu large enough. Got calamari app which has 2 dipping sauces both very good and we got salads which were fresh and large portions. Would go back. read more

yummy food! the food was very reasonably priced and the atmosphere was amazing too!! the waitress i had was also very sweet too!

It was one of those nights that we were out to dinner for necessity rather than pleasure. We had a. Family emergency and my two year old nephew is with us for the week. We came to get the kids out of the house. The staff didn't pickup on this and it was the worst service I have had in years! They sat the six of us at a long high top table in the back. We asked for a high chair and when we finally figured out the chair situation and sat we were told to get up. This is not your table this is reserved for a reservation you are a walking. So we got up and moved to where the waiter motioned for us to go. Which was in the middle of the restaurant where there was nothing setup for 6 and all the empty tables were dirty. Cute. We sit again but have to ask for menus again they thought we knew what we wanted. Nope. Ordered drinks and again it took so long we have 3 small children with us one who is two and been in a car all day. The food comes and it is good not great but hit the spot. Not one person apologized not one manager came by to offer a complimentary desert or something. Instead they were annoyed by us when it was all the staff that treated us so poorly. We have had take out from here and it is always good so This is disappointing. Our family has a home down here and I will be sure to share our experience so no one else has to have such a frustrating dinner . We saw photos of young kids on display I wonder if the owners are aware how poorly families are treated and reservations trump a walk in. read more

I am so happy I made it a point to visit 5 West Pub during my visit home to NJ, as they have improved their service and maintained their delicious menu. The food was amazing as always and the restaurant was taking all of the appropriate measures for social distancing guidelines. Our server Liz was attentive and prompt, which was greatly appreciated, considering how busy they were. If you're unsure of what to get, I highly recommend the 5 West Burger; it's super juicy with delicious toppings, served with your choice of salad or fries. Always a good choice! I will be sure to visit again, on my next trip back to NJ! If you're in the area, be sure to stop in and grab a bite! read more

Consistently great food! The Parma pizza is one of our favorites. You have to have the crab bisque!!! It's a must get the bowl you will not regret it!! The bar area is nice and they make a great orange crush! Great place to stop in and grab a pie and have a beer or cocktail. read more
