The problem is their menu is limited. Don't expect a master chef type meal. This is a no frills type of eatery who does it right! The service is simple, seat yourself, walk over to the counter, place your order and one of their very nice servers brings the food out to you. It's also byob so bring your favorite drink and enjoy a nice treat.

Cannot recommend this place though maybe we should have ordered fish and chips. Service - woman behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. She was the brightest spot in the experience here.

It was cooked perfectly, it was fresh and the pastas had a great amount of seafood. If you're considering trying it, go for it. I'm positive you won't regret it. (Call early to order - their pick up times seem to be about an hour and fifteen minutes from the time you call.) They have picnic tables adjacent to the shop, but it's designed to be take out. You can use the tables after you pick up the food.

The outdoor patio restaurant seating is super cute & decorated with lots of greenery & flowers, and they also have live music which sets a great ambiance. It is also BYOB which is always a nice find. The seafood, of course, is delicious! We started with oysters & then I got the pesto scallops off the pretty large specials list. Everything comes in pretty big portions, however, so sharing would probably be a good move. Service is fairly slow, however, so be sure to order food whenever your server does come around. Overall, it's a great spot that would be easy to miss - check it out! Food: B+ Drinks: N/A Service: B Ambiance: A-

My sister and I stopped by while we were driving around the Cape May area. We decided to give this…read morea try since we were craving seafood. The restaurant is located in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking. The staff is friendly. The food was ok. The food was cooked, hot, but flavorless. We ordered fried calamari, chicken cheesesteak, and special #11 - fried clam strips with fries. My sister did not like her chicken cheesesteak. It was warm and freshly made, but flavorless. It almost seemed microwaved. Fried calamari had no flavor either. The breading was decent, but flavorless. My order of fried clam strips was not what I'm used to. I've had clam strips in Rhode Island that were actual clams, fried and flavored so well that it was the star dish. It could have been better. We ordered to go. The inside looked dingy so it's not meant to be a sit in restaurant. Overall, from this experience, I would say the food can definitely be improved, but I would look elsewhere.

I bought a number of things among them a lb. of Hatfield bacon that was on sale. I got it home and discovered the "use by " date was July 25th (almost 2 months ago).

They also handed out for free a desert type item that had a date of June.

Hooked Up Seafood is a must stop for the freshest most delicious seafood served on picnic tables…read moredockside. I ordered a yellow fin sandwich, cooked medium rare, which was one of the featured fresh catch fish of the day. Without a doubt this this was probably the best seared yellowfin tuna I've ever eaten. The sear was perfect, the yellowfin was perfectly seasoned and the size was generous. The flavor and texture were perfect as well. I decided to eat it off the bread because I didn't want the the roll to mask the fresh caught yellowfin flavor. The sandwich was served with a heaping amount of tasty and crunchy housemaid chips. We ate while watching the sunset over the water. Wish we lived nearby, because we'd become regulars if we did. Well done Hooked Up!!

A young woman noticed my table was dirty, she came over to clean it and even offered to bring crayons and a coloring page for my toddler. Not only is the serving phenomenal but the food is as well. We had the chowder, shrimp and clams as starters. Lighthouse blush wine. My husband had blackened sword fish and I had the fish tacos. Everything was delicious. We even ordered some shirts to take back home. We will definitely make this a staple location when we are in the area. 10/10. It's rare to find good food and great service these days.

We had such a nice dinner, I had to update my review. We come to Lobster House from time-to-time…read morethroughout the year. We figured we would get in an off-season dinner before the crowds come and that we did! We arrived just before they opened at 415 and hung out at the bar for a few minutes. Dinner is served at 430pm! The bar is open, so you can get drinks while you wait if you like. There is a full service bar and you can order from a plentiful wine and spirits menu. Our awesome server for our early dinner was Trisha, and she could not have been more hospitable! She was very personable, attentive and provided excellent service! She was just a delight. I ordered the Flounder special which was delicious - - each element in the dinner was great - and you can see all my coordinating photos. The dinner comes with a nice fresh -chilled salad and of course, the yummy hot, fresh onion bread! The flounder was cooked to perfection and those Fried String Beans, kinda like french fries were really good and very creative. They came with a nice "Petal Sauce" that is going to have me coming back again! Thank you, Trisha and Lobster House for a great pre-season dinner. It's nice to have the whole restaurant to yourself without the crowds! Get there before Memorial Day weekend for a nice treat! There's also an incredible fresh fish market attached where you can get anything and everything from a fish market you ever dreamed about. They also have a decadent area with so many drool-worthy desserts that you can take out along with your seafood. All in all, Lobster House is a great local favorite that has consistently great seafood and service.

Over the years I've had my share of great getaway meals at The Lobster House in timeless Cape May…read more It's a tradition you want to start earlier in life, so you can one day look around and watch as a new generation starts creating those lifelong memories of lively dinners out on the peer. It gives you a whole new appreciation for it, for how it's been able to not only last and stay pretty much the same across decades, making the nostalgia hit just a bit harder. People who have aversion to crowds probably read that and think I'm insane, and I wouldn't blame you. I can't think of a time when that place isn't a mad house. It's frantic, there are multiple queues all over the place, people are shouting, fish is flying, tables are being sniped. There's always some parent yelling at their kid or in-law to get over to some table 100 yards away they just happened to see open up. You have half a dozen poor grandmas sitting at a table all alone, feeling the pressure. The pressure and eyes of every other family waiting for a table bearing down on them. So yes, for certain people, every visit would be a nightmarish hell. Like think about the introverted pescatarians, they must be completely torn on this place. Even with the prominent signage, it's easy to get disoriented in the market-style layout. One time I waited 15 minutes for a softshell crab sandwich in front of a parking validation kiosk. Just remember there are two sets of bathrooms, one near the entrance and one lesser used one in the back. That is one benefit of sitting farther down the pier and not feeling bad about it. There is no such thing as a bad seat at TLH. Eventually once I did locate my softshell crab sandwich, I enjoyed it's soft, crab-like texture. Well, enjoyed is a strong word. Let's just say that will be my first and definitely last time I ever order softshell crab. I like crab, but, while soft, I do not enjoy the texture of the shell. It's like these thin sheets of leather strips. It's probably my fault, it's not like it's called "no shell" crab, but I think maybe they overdo it with the "soft" angle. Anyways, once I pivoted to a classic burger, all was well again. And I got more of those bangin' thick-cut steak fries. On this particular visit my two companions got an assortment of crab claws, fried calamari, clams casino, and the rest of my softshell crab, so yeah, everyone did pretty well for themselves. Also snagged a prime table right in the thick of things, on the pier in front of The Schooner, which doubles as a sailing vessel and outdoor cocktail lounge. Just another fine summer memory to look back fondly on.
