    Pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich and crispy fries!
    Edward K.

    Grabbed a quick lunch here during a recent Cape May trip. Decor is a cool selection of grilled cheese themed art. The gentleman working the counter was friendly and gave good recommendations. I enjoyed the pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich, served with some tasty fries. The salad option aka "Da Bowl" fell a bit short for my wife. It doesn't match up to the quality of other salad bowls at a similar price point. That said, the grilled cheese sandwich certainly delivered.

    Felt like I paid $14 for two slices of bread and chips. I had a grilled chicken grilled cheese and there was hardly any meat or any cheese on it. I had been here the previous summer and had a very different experience. I make much better grilled cheese with Kraft singles in my own kitchen.

    Cape May Grilled Cheese is a small place with a pretty distinct menu, so I thought we'd try it out. There is obviously regular grilled cheese, but there are so many options and grilled cheese combinations that it gets crazy. The crab cake grilled cheese was like a crab cake sandwich. The Nashville chicken was pretty messy. The regular grilled cheese was real good. If you are interested in some wild grilled cheese combinations, try Cape May Grilled Cheese out. But for me, there really is no reason to overthink grilled cheese unless it's with bacon or something like ham.

    The Cape May Grilled Cheese Company opened almost a week ago and the food is full of flavor! My Carolina Grilled cheese was packed with tender pulled bbq pork which mixed with the cheese was delicious. The Original Grilled cheese is also tasty. Their menu features more than grilled cheese, and has a fun vibe to the names including the Jawn. Their location is perfect, located in Ocean St, but really in the north end of the Washington Street Mall. They feature six tables and chairs inside, and then there are plenty of places to sit outside on the mall. Parking is available behind the mall shops, on the street, or in the Acme lot (which is free if you are under 30 minutes). The Cape May Grilled Cheese Company features a variety of drinks including canned soda and canned water, this was my only concern that $2.75 is a bit high for a can of soda, but it is Cape May! Go and enjoy!!!

    Pork Roll Grilled Cheese
    Vincent P.

    Wandered in and was surprised to see it not be very crowded. Our first visit , so not sure what to try. Went with the Pork Roll Grilled Cheese and it was delicious! The honey chipotle sriracha was amazing with just hint of heat. Didn't see all sandwiches come with chips, so I wish substituting fries was suggested. I see it on the menu now, but overlooked in the store. The lobby was visually appealing and interesting and made us want to sit and enjoy our food. Can't wait to return and try something new!

    This places takes grilled cheese to a whole new level. I got the Carolina grilled cheese and I was surprised. It is pulled pork, coleslaw on a grilled cheese. It's one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever had. The pull pork is well seasoned and the coleslaw adds a nice crunch to the sandwich. The service was quick and you can tell the employee love their jobs. It's a little small but it has enough space to do a good job. If you can stop by and grab a grilled cheese you won't regret it.

    The grilled cheeses here were amazing! I got the chicken bacon ranch one and the chicken was so moist and the bacon was perfect. Comes with chips. Good portion for most of the grilled cheeses costing around $10-12 except for the lobster one which costs more. Would definitely go again!

    Original Grilled Cheese Sandwich

    The best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had! And the chips were amazing too. Centrally located in downtown Cape May.

    Hot Nashville chicken, grilled cheese, and french fries. It was delicious.

I felt there were much more interesting dishes. It was so hard to pick one! We had reservations and were seated right away. The service was quick and efficient! We started with the ahi tuna, which was incredible. If you like sushi/raw fish, this app is a must! Then I went with the scallops for my main. It was a summer version of the scallops I've had in the past and they were amazing! I loved the potatoes, sweet corn, bacon, all of it! I can't wait to come back here.

The odyssey to finding it was well worth the effort. We had dinner reservations but on a Monday in May, probably did not need them. We both loved our flounder almondine order, despite it being a Monday night (when one does not typically order fish and expect it to be fresh). This really was! Service was top-notch and super-friendly from Jared, who was deeply apologetic when the oyster appetizer we ordered failed to appear - he comped a beer without prompting (and insisted upon it). Even absent this gesture, his attitude and manner made our evening - the excellence of the entrees was a cherry on top. One note and not the fault of the restaurant at all - a number of families with small children were dining at other tables. This is not an especially well-suited restaurant for families with under-5 kids. Their collective noise and behavior was more akin to, well, a Chuck-E-Cheese or MacDonalds. There was nothing anyone could do, of course.

The stand out was the K&B salad which had great dressing. Loved the hot/cold contrast between the flash fried Brussels and the kale salad. I had the scallops- average and with quite a bit of grit. The carrots it came with seemed boiled and again relatively flavorless. My husband had the sea bass but unless you got some of the very minimal sauce it was plated with, it was fairly bland. I didn't even sense salt and pepper. For the price point, I wouldn't rush back for dinner but might try another meal.

Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the potential. We started with the nachos, which were probably the biggest disappointment. They tasted more like something you'd find in a school cafeteria than an appetizer from a restaurant. The wings weren't much better. Instead of being crisp on the outside, they arrived soggy and lacked the texture you want from a good wing. The burgers were the real low point. More than one person in our party described them as a hockey puck placed between two pieces of bread, and honestly, that assessment felt pretty accurate. The patties were dry and lacked the flavor you'd normally expect from a good burger. It's a shame because the Rusty Nail has so much going for it from an atmosphere and setting perspective. Unfortunately, the food left us feeling like the experience didn't match the potential of the place. Maybe we caught it on an off night, but based on our meal, it's not somewhere we would running back to in the future.

Reservations seem highly recommended because it seems most people came here with one. It's fine dining (price-wise - very reasonable for fine dining). It's also BYOB -- like the name says. I loved every moment of this. Service was very attentive and professional. I did feel worried that I was a bit underdressed because I had tennis shoes on, but it was not an issue. It is not a huge restaurant, but it's elegant and definitely meant more as a special night out than a casual spot. If you are looking for seafood options, look no further than here. If you want to impress someone, take them here. Now, onto the food. The bread is complimentary and we ate it all (along with our refill). The butter was freshly made, I believe. I had the winter prix fixe menu and my sister ordered à la carte. Their prix fixe and tasting menus tend to change quite often so it'll always be interesting. My sister ordered the Spanish octopus (1st course) and the Scottish Salmon. I had some of her octopus and salmon. They were both such well-made dishes. We would definitely order the octopus again. Chewy and delicate. I had the arancini, fra diavolo, and the chocolate tart. It was absolutely delicious. The arancini were small, but it was still well filled with tiny bites of clam. The fra diavolo was also very good and filling. Plenty of seafood to go around in that dish. Spicy too, which I like. At the end, we shared a chocolate tart -- and I must say, we were already full at this point. The chocolate was rich and the pistachio ice cream was perfect. We will definitely be back.

We started with the caprese salad, which was fresh and exactly what you want from a starter, followed by the summer corn soup, which was comforting without feeling heavy. The standout was the special New York strip. It arrived beautifully cooked, tender and flavorful. Service was equally strong by being attentive without being overbearing. The one misstep was the rigatoni, essentially a truffle mac and cheese with mushrooms and shaved truffles. On paper, it sounded promising, especially paired with a steak. In practice, it was overwhelmed by garlic to the point that the garlic eclipsed nearly everything else. There was also surprisingly little rigatoni pasta; the dish was dominated by mushrooms. We wouldn't order the pasta again, but that's a relatively minor complaint for an otherwise excellent meal. Grana is absolutely worth a return visit and there's plenty on the menu that we'd happily order again. It gets a relatively older crowd, but I don't mind if that food is good.
