CAPE MAY: Exit Zero Filling Station is a restaurant where their unique outdoor seating is on the site of a former gas station! Keeping the canopy of the gas station, leashed and friendly dogs are allowed to dine outside with you and it is a popular spot featuring a varied menu with an emphasis on Indian and Thai curries. They are going BYOB soon, so check before you go to see if they still have alcoholic beverages or if you should bring your own to accompany your meal.

The owners appear to have lost interest in the place and it shows. They sold their liquor license so there are no beers or cocktails available; probably needed the money. The patio is filthy, surrounded by dead shrubs and very faded plastic plants, the concrete floor is also dirty. The whole place needs a good power washing inside and out. We sat inside as it was hot and humid outside. It was empty. I could not believe how filthy the dining room floor is. Nothing has been scrubbed in weeks. A lot of little things show management's lack of interest . The help hid away in the kitchen and I wonder what that area looks like. We had the wedge salad and it was delicious; our waitress was excellent. Too bad, last year it was packed.

I feel like so many restaurants and establishments want five star reviews but don't give five star service. However, this place does! We were so impressed with their serving team, their offerings, and just the restaurant as a whole. The food was amazing! They had a lot of gluten free options. The most I've seen on one menu in a while. One of the best burgers I've ever had, GF bun included. My husband was really impressed with his whole meal as well. I think some places could really learn a thing or two from Exit Zero. This place is just super cool even if you just want to take home some goods from their store. We ordered to go because we had to catch the ferry but we did eat outside as it was such a nice day. They have these super cool trucks and vans that you can reserve online to eat in as well.

Chicken sandwich with fries

Still a Cape May favorite. Waiting for a table the bar has dangerously fabulous drinks. The bartenders are great. Food is still delicious.

Chicken and Bang Bang Shrimp Curry

This is based off our Restaurant Week experience. They seem to have stepped up their game a little. For my Prix Fixe meal, I chose the Curried Impossiballs, The Hot Chick, and the Salted Caramel Boozie Shake. I loved the Impossiballs, whatever they used for the vegan meatballs is a dead ringer for real meat. I could've used a few more meatballs though. The Hot Chick with fried chicken was delicious. It was a pasta dish with cheese, hot sauce, and fried chicken which all work well together. My friend ordered the Thai Shrimp Coconut soup which was very authentic and good. One note about the butter chicken dish. They seem to have taken the feedback about the amount of rice since the last time I've visited. Last time I complained about not enough rice and now it seems to have doubled to a perfect amount (compare the pictures!). So kudos for that. I liked the Salted Caramel shake but I felt the vodka was just a tad overpowering. I would've preferred if it was toned down a little. For our desserts, apparently only the milkshake which was one of three choices was available. We didn't get to try the beignets or the Peanut Bitter Cookie. We were offered one of their normal desserts to fill in the remainder of the prix fixe dinner. We chose Key Lime Pie. It wasn't bad but I think we would've preferred a more traditional Key Lime Pie. One more thing to note is that for some reason there was no inside seating available at all. The outdoor seating was adequate with the weather. But we unfortunately got eaten alive by mosquitos which I know the restaurant can't really do much about. So they might want to have the indoor seating available at all times. So things seem to have improved with the food since my last visit. Service was great, everything came out quickly, and our server Hope did a great job.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday in October. I was surprised that I'd never been here before. The eagles game was on so there were food specials for the game which as nice. My friend and I split a burger and Brussels sprouts because we knew we'd be getting dinner later. Everything was very good and our server Katie was awesome!!

Americana Hot Chick
Sofia P.

Went briefly inside, but decided to sit outdoors. Both areas were very cute, staff was very fast and attentive. Food was great! Would definitely come back!

Alyse J.

I was pretty disappointed in Exit Zero. I thought the food was VERY average and none of the food came out very hot. The service was a bit slow and a few of the items were incorrect as well. I LOVE French fries but the regular fries here were not it... but the waffle fries were good! It's a nice vibe outside but overall I stand firm on "average" food and "average" experience.

Dining area
Bri M.

Service was fast and efficient, menu was fairly straightforward, Quirky, and shellfish heavy so limited me to something burgerish. Spouse went for pad Thai, I went for the burger bowl. The burger needed salt but the salad was pretty extensive and plenty of it. Iced tea for me and a Chardonnay for spouse. The place is set up in a former service station with campers and out side seating available. $60.00 some dollars is on the high side even for a tourist area. Worth going but won't go back at those prices.

Menu
Fran H.

Wasn't our favorite spot. The looks was cool Taking an old gas stop and converting it to an eatery. Comfortable tables and a few kitschy options for kids include dining in a train car etc. The menu has some unique not traditional aspects including burger to Indian cuisine. Not what you expect from the ambiance. We ordered one Indian dish , one chicken sandwich. The sandwich was good appeared freshly made and hot. The Indian dish was not seasoned as well as it could have been and was very soupy not thicker as expected. The dishes came out looking appetizing but we weren't too enamored. The service was good. I was expecting east pub style food judging by the look but the menu wasn't a match.

Outside
Lorena C.

Let's start with the cuteness of this place and how the outside private dining areas are a wonderful place to have a fun meal with friends. The service was top notch because our server was sweet, polite and attentive. I was cold so he put me by the fireplace which I call "service with love"!!! Now let's talk food WOW...fresh, full of flavor, & delicious. The menu is as creative as the restaurant with witty names for the items served. We will definitely visit AGAIN :)

Steph C.

Cool conception and execution. Not a huge menu but definitely enough to choose from & all dishes we ordered were really good. On a Mon night in Aug at prime dinner time we waited for about a 1/2 hour but it seemed so much less than that - we got parking in their lot and were front row for the live music as we waited. Speaking of, the music was fantastic - Camille Peruto is a talented musician. She made it easy to request songs & dedicated an anniversary song to my wife & I. Our server was attentive and very helpful. Food & drinks came out quickly even though it was a full house. They could use a few more bathrooms bc the line got long, but no other complaints. Didn't get a chance to shop but all of the merch in the shop looked really nice & the inside bar was really cool.

The setting
Monya V.

I don't think it is possible to love this place more. Where do I begin? First, the vibe, the energy, the spirit.... everyone is happy. From the staff to the clients, everyone is smiling, laughing, living their best lives. Everyone is talking to everyone else - whether they came with those people or just made a friend at the bar while waiting for a table, such a happy place to be. The drinks? Top-notch craft cocktails. The difficult question will be what do I order first? The food -is equally amazing. My gentleman friend and I are vegan and there are plenty of options here to keep everyone happy. The service was fast and as I said, friendly. Maybe it is because everyone is on vacation, perhaps it is the fresh salty air that lulled everyone into a good mood; but whatever it was I want more of it.

Ask the Community - Exit Zero Filling Station

Are dogs allowed in the restaurant or do you have outdoor seating?

Meagan, the law forbids dogs in the restaurant. We do have a small patio area which we created so dog owners can eat there. But because of our seat capacity we can’t do table service out there... so you would have to get your food to go and bring it…

They were really gracious and service was perfect. The byob element I personally love (bring what you want and pay normal rates for it) but I could see how this could be problematic for vacationers not prepared. The glassware was beautiful - one of my pics shows it. The atmosphere is very pleasant - a little romantic, a little modern but all in all perfect for an anniversary dinner - we had a corner table with bench seating so we could snuggle :) We chose three apps because it was early and we thought we'd hit another place late. These two are the duck wings and the crispy shrimp. Both delicious but the wings VERY good. We also had a swordfish crostini done on a crispy won ton and we both liked that very much. Pricing seemed reasonable. I'd recommend.

We had some ordering confusion which impacted my experience a bit. Overall the appetizers far out performed the seafood, which given were at the beach, was a bit sad. The wings were tasty. 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.

I have been here several times, and the food has never disappointed. The past three times, my…read morepartner and I have sat at the bar. Bartenders were incredibly gracious and fun and gave great recommendations. My partner and I decided to dine here last Saturday with his parents since we were all in town coincidentally. I bring this up because we made the reservation for 6- I had been raving to them about this restaurant and really wanted to take them. My partner and I were working in Cape May for a wedding florist, and so we gave the best time frame we could based on the time we were able to leave the wedding and head to dinner. As it turned out we had to stay a little bit longer, his parents already arriving at 6 prompt. We did not make it there until 6:25 by the time we were able to park. Now, having worked in the restaurant industry nearly all my life, I understand the frustrations a host faces with the excuses and unawareness customers have. When I arrived, I apologized. I tried to explain the situation as best as I could. When I tell you I have never written a review because of poor service, I mean it. The host turned me off of the restaurant entirely, as delicious as their fried tomatoes are! When I apologized, he was so snarky it was absolutely shocking. He said as I listed what the reservation was under, "well, go find them then." HE DID NOT EVEN TAKE ME TO MY TABLE. I almost laughed at how childish his behavior was, and then it really got to me. After having finished the meal, in a timely manner where there were still empty tables (that had been empty the entire time we were there- yes I know how stacking works), my partner's father politely asked to speak with the host. The host was incredibly rude to him, even though he simply explained how his service was. I am not totally unconvinced the host had some unattended anger issues. Again, I rarely write reviews, but I so hope no one has to experience his unbelievable behavior, especially as they are about to have a lovely meal and delicious cocktails. So, I will end on the note that my 3 stars would easily be 5 based on all of the other experiences at the Cricket Club, but I cannot ignore my most recent experience, and hope it will never happen to anyone else! I myself, will never dine at the Cricket Club again, but I am sure it's just a pride thing. Good luck to those who try- but may I recommend do not be late!

Built in 1885 at the former site of the Merion Inn on Decatur Street in Cape May, we decided on dinner at the Cricket Club honoring the Merion Cricket Club in Haverford, Pennsylvania, after driving for 3 hours with an appetite. Upon arriving as first-timers without reservation on a busy Friday night, my partner and I were lucky to get a table in one of their dining rooms with those familiar with the stained glass windows in the wall between the bar and the dining room and from repurposed light fixtures sporting new shades with live music added to the vibe. Their menu features contemporary American cuisine with local and international flavors. We decided on the Snapper Tacos and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Even saved room for dessert and opted for the Tiramisu and Chocolate Torte. We washed them down with Prosecco and Downeast Cider. Great flavor profile in all of the dishes we tried, and the food was cooked to perfection. It was clear the chef knew how to combine the best flavors and textures. Service was on point and professional. Our server was Polina. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny. Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our evening.

As always, the menu leaned hard into what looked best at the market and we were super lucky with Colossal crab and Chilean sea bass. We started with the Goat Cheese Salad (a menu mainstay that is completely worth it) and the mushroom caps stuffed with Crab Imperial (two caps, not huge, but big chunks of crab and great flavor) and chose the Chilean Sea Bass with key lime tequila drizzle and macadamia nut crust and Crab Imperial for entrees. Sea bass drizzle was a flavor bomb and the fish stood up to it (picture doesn't do it justice). Rice didn't need the peppers (personal bias) and I didn't need the mixed veg but I hoovered down the fish and rice. Crab Imperial supersized the appie teaser and continued with the Big Crab Energy! Super rich and very retro, the photo was a couple of bites in when we started fighting about whose meal was best. Dessert was key lime pie the way my grandmother made with the meringue mixed in with the curd. A fabulous treat. Space is small (you may wait for your table outside) and can be loud due to jocularity but worth the stop.
