    Tiramisu waffle with scrambled eggs and side toast
    Aimee O.

    After trying another popular breakfast spot, George's Place was exactly what I was looking for. The food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without being overly complicated. I was recommended the tiramisu waffle and it did not disappoint. Loved it. Very old school diner feel. The beachfront location makes it an easy stop before heading to the beach, and the portions were generous. I'd absolutely return on my next Cape May trip. Keep in mind they do not accept credit cards and send you next door to get cash from the atm. There's no mention on this in Google and caught me and apparently the line of diners behind me by surprise as we had to pull cash for our meal after service. Would've been nice to know before hand but doesn't take away from the good food. Will return!

    George's Place never disappoints. The food is always fresh and delicious. This was our first time visiting for dinner, as we're usually frequent guests for breakfast and lunch, and it was outstanding. The hummus and spanakopita were fabulous, and both the crab cakes and tuna were perfectly cooked and beautifully accompanied by a fresh Greek salad. Highly recommend!

    George's Place is always a go-to of mine when down the shore. I went this weekend and it was just as delicious as ever! This is their OG location and it was featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. It's BYOB and cash only. We brought a bottle of white and locked in for a delicious meal! My favorites are the hummus tessera to start and the chicken souvlaki for my main. Be warned! The portions are large and all come with salad so you will be full with lots of leftovers to bring home. The hummus tessera comes with 4 types of hummus (original, red pepper, basil and olive) and pita bread. All are delish, but the basil is my fav! And the homemade pita is next level. The chicken souvlaki comes with lemon potatoes, tzatziki and your choice of greek or caesar salad. It's so classic and so delish!! I get this every time. My friend had this as well and loved it. If you love Greek food, you have to try one of their George's Place locations. Truly top notch!

    Stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning in mid October. Food came out quickly and was nice and hot! Coffee was good too! Cash only which we didn't know until we got there but we were glad it was a day we had cash only us as we normally do not.

    turkey and brie sandwich w/ house salad and fries
    Jason M.

    When researching eateries to try while I was in Cape May, George's Place came up on many a list of top places to try. The menu looked like it had some solid dishes, and I head they were featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives - so I thought it was worth checking out. I had just settled into my hotel room and was looking for lunch, so off I went. There are two George's - the original one here on Beach Ave and a second location off the Washington Mall. The restaurant is owned by a group that operates several eateries and event companies in Cape May and the greater Jersey Shore area. I think I came after the lunch crowd, as there were a few tables open when I arrived. Soon after my server asked for my beverage order - I asked for a sparkling water with lime, but was told they don't have sparkling water - or limes. I found that odd to be honest, but fine - a water and lemon sufficed. Soon after, though, I saw another table with a bottle of Pellegrino - so did they serve sparkling water or not? Did I need to be more specific in my request? I know this place is BOYB but does that include sparkling water? So many questions. Really though, no limes? Anyway, the menu wasn't too large and contained a large selection of Greek items. I decided to go with the turkey and brie sandwich, which came on sourdough and served with a house salad and fries. The salad and fries were good - the salad had lots of components/textures in it and the fries were typical Greek-style sliced potatoes. The sandwich was a disappointment - specifically the fact that the turkey was cold-cut style which in my opinion really downgraded the sandwich. It would have been nicer to see sliced turkey breast, or at least something that wasn't so processed. Service was fine, they were friendly enough. Overall though, I don't understand the hype of this place. Maybe I ordered the wrong item, but even if this is a no-frills beach eatery I thought they could have done better; I don't think seltzer, limes or sliced turkey are things reserved for higher-end establishments. If I ever return to Cape May I would likely bypass this spot.

    Havarti panini
    Alex P.

    I could eat here every day the food is just that good and consistent. This is my favorite location (there are several other George's places in the area). I've liked everything I've ever ordered from here but the Havarti panini is my favorite by far. I pair it with the unsweetened raspberry lemonade. The hummus is another must. I could eat it by itself (and I definitely have when I've run out of cucumbers ). Their sandwiches come with a side salad and French fries, both which are delicious. The salad is not your typical boring side salad which I love. This is the smallest location and since it's right by the beach, parking can be challenging. Inside it can get very crowded. They have mostly booth seating and it's cash only. There is an atm next door they suggest if you don't have cash. The portions are great for the price, especially how many places charge tourist prices in the area. Love love love George's on Beach Avenue!!!

    Lots of good food!
    Edward K.

    My wife and I ate here for our final meal during a recent Cape May trip. Service was prompt and professional. Really enjoyed the pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast meal. Their potatoes had great texture. Good location on Beach Avenue. Not a huge fan of cash only but it was worth it.

    Gyros
    Virginia J.

    Excellent service, delicious food, and a wonderful value! You get a fresh salad, fries, and a top notch gyro lunch for $12. What a value!! Comes with an extra side of tzatziki sauce

    Wow this place is a hidden gem! The place is small and older but don't let that turn you away. First of all the prices are responsible especially since the portion sizes are huge! It is cash only so make sure you bring cash. I had the gyro which was delicious, it was large. I loved the potato chips that it came with. My husband had the breakfast quesadilla which was good. We will definitely be back. We are going to wildwood this summer and I saw that they have a location there which I look forward to trying.

    Veggie omelette

    Fantastic spot, we went for breakfast, got one of the last tables before the wait started. I had the lemoncello French toast and my husband and omelet. Very fresh, and tasted great! It was a little noisy, but fine. Service was fantastic, great coffee!

    Our server at breakfast this morning recommended this restaurant after I told him my family was…read morefrom the Mediterranean area, and he said this was pretty close to authentic, so we had to give it a try. We had such a great meal here. They brought crusty bread with a Kalamata hummus, which you could definitely taste the garlic, luckily we both love garlic. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin kebabs which comes with a pilaf and vegetables, and he just about licked the plate clean, saying it wasn't dried out or overcooked. I ordered the salmon, which also came with the pilaf and vegetables. I tend to be picky about my fish since it's so easy to overcook. This salmon might have been the best fish I've ever had. It was seared quickly but not so long as to overcook it or dry it out. I forgot to take a picture of dessert, but we had the chocolate mousse that comes with vanilla ice cream. Yeah, it was as good as the rest of the meal. Another plus for this restaurant is the acoustic tiles, so you can hear the people at your table and you don't have to yell for them to hear you. Our breakfast server was right, this place was so good and we will definitely come back next time we're in the area.

The whole place is surrounded by windows plus a lovely seating area outside it was a bit humid so we chose inside. After introductions we received our bread it had a wonderful spread my wife thought tapenade and our friend thought it was hummus. It didn't matter both bread and topping were right on right on right on. For starters I got grilled shrimp perfect example of the Greek fare lemon garlic and herbs I had to share one w my wife and was very sad I had too. One friend got dolmades grape leaves stuffed w rice and herbs my wife and him enjoyed them and loved how the y hit all the spots and were true to form our other friend got the melintzandalata an eggplant dip that had a zing to it served with pita bread. The dip was good the pita over the top good wished I had ordered a side with my entree but I from what I tried I'll be back to order the pita again. Onto the entrees oh everything was perfectly timed and service was once agai beyond lovely no rush just letting old friends eat and enjoy. Oh so two had the salmon and loved it. One had the pork loin kabob thoroughly enjoyed gave a two thumbs. My entree was the filet mignon kabob. Had peppers and onion with it plus rice pilaf w house veggies I scarfed it down like a last meal it was that good came w a side of tzatziki sauce. Everything was tender hot and tasty. Plus we got a side of lemon potatoes I must say we are spoiled we used to live blocks from south street souvlaki whos lemon potatoes we loved these were just as good. We spit them and again I wanted them for myself but share and share alike.. everything was so much my wife and I had enough room to try a dessert we got the mosaic which was a frozen choco mousse with a cookie in it topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream w choco sauce with a cookie in between. It was a little bit hard to break with a spoon but we ate every last piece. And enjoyed it I personally would have been happy with a chocolate mousse on the softer side but it was desert and we tried it and ate every piece leaving nothing on the plate Ice cream and sauce were a great accompaniment. Anyway we have lived in villas for a while and this is the first time we were not disappointed. We can't wait to go back hoping my wife will be up for it next week we wanted to impress our friends and thanks to olive branch we did. Oh the server kept my iced tea full and to me that's huge I drink s lot of iced tea. Coffee was a hit they brewed up some decaf fresh for my wife yeah so that's it don't sleep on olive branch it's GREATTTTT!!!!

On re-entry, the actual host walked away mentioning that he would be back shortly. After waiting another, at minimum, 5 minutes inside for the host who would be "right back", we asked a server when he would be back. The host finally came over and let us know that no tables were ready, albeit incorrectly for we were seated immediately after he came back. The server was extremely nice. I ordered the Havarti Panini. 3/4 of the plate came out with salad and fries which is a nice addition however I was looking forward to a sandwich. What I got was the end piece of bread cut in half to make up each "1/2" of the sandwich. I looked on their website and it appears to be inconsistent with their typical portion of bread. The chicken was extremely extremely dry and the cheese was cold. The service was abhorrent from the non-server staff. It appears that they sub the substantive portion of meals for the cheaper items such as fries, salad, etc.

Both were very good, but the calamari was only the rings and didn't come with any sort of dipping sauce which I think would have been nice. Everything ordered was good and so was the portion size. All the plates came in around $40 each. I had the spicy salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. IMO, it wasn't that spicy. It seemed like they used a crunchy chili oil to give it the heat. It was serves with rich which had no taste and asparagus which was fibrous and undercooked. The bread and dipping oil was absolutely delicious and the mini pumpkin cheesecake was rich and velvety. In addition to the 1 dessert, we had 2 cappuccino's and 2 coffees, No drinks or alcohol. For 5 people, tax and tip (20%) ended up coming in at just under $350. A bit much, but it is Cape May.
