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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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!

Got to the restaurant at exactly 8:00 am and did not have to wait for a table. We were there for an hour and it never got super busy. The waiters were so attentive but never pushy! Always made sure our coffee and water stayed filled. I ordered the banana french toast. Each layer was stacked to the brim with soft but not super mushy bananas and the most delicious brown sugar, caramel. Although it did not come with a side it was quite filling (though if you have a larger appetite I'd order one). George's special was exactly as described. The hashbrowns stole the show. Pancakes were a little underwhelming in our opinion. Would order something else if we came again. read more

George's is a great place to go for breakfast as long as you don't have a wait. Fortunately, we didn't early on a Sunday in late September. There's nothing fancy about George's. They have a solid menu with a variety of breakfast dishes including different omelets. I usually get the Jackie O with spinach, tomatoes, and feta although this time I got the Jive Turkey with turkey sausage and dill havarti. It was a little on the dry side. However, they do give you an option of cherry tomatoes in place of potatoes on the side. I also love the choice of bread including sour dough. My husband's banana French toast tasted delicious with the cinnamon and bananas. Be advised, they only have whole milk, so if you like almond or oat milk with your coffee, you're out of luck. Also, there was no stevia. Please note they are cash only too. read more

Had lunch today at George's Place. Food and service was fantastic. We are a party of 7 and were greeted and seated immediately. Food was prepared quickly and everything was delicious. The only note is that they only accepted cash. read more

We just went last week with my husband, 2 kids and sister. Making a reservation was easy. The place is by beach avenue its quite small but we fit ok at the booth. I am not sure though how they will accommodate a party over 4 adults if they want to be seated together. The yelp menu pictures show there was a choice for burgers but when we were there for dinner it wasn't in the menu. Perhaps it was a lunch menu and i didn't notice. Dinner menu did not have any choices for kids so even though we ordered a variety to see if the kids would like any of them, they were not interested and ended up eating the pita and a little bit of the potato wedges . All in all the food we ordered was great. My husband ordered a sample of meats platter, my sister ordered the salmon and I ordered the braised beef, then a side of pita and hummus. All dishes were delectable and we didn't have to take anything home. I just hope they add a kids menu perhaps... read more

I'm a sucker for a DDD restaurant and couldn't resist George's. I lucked out with my arrival at 7pm on a Saturday night without a reservation. But it was just me and so they put me at their only one-top table and I have no complaints! I managed to stick pretty close to my keto diet with chicken souvlaki, hold the potatoes and extra salad. Their Greek salad was fabulous and delicious. Fresh lettuce and tart cheese, just perfect. The chicken on a bed of sautéed spinach was wonderful. Moist, flavorful and still hot from the grill. I cleared the plate. Most Greek desserts are sweet and all carbs so I opted to skip that course tonight. And yes, George's is still cash only. [Review 18221 overall - 98 in New Jersey - 1743 of 2022.] Note: I'm very confused. Can there be two George's Places within three blocks of each other, one at 315 Ocean Street and the other at 301 Beach Avenue? I went to the one on Ocean Avenue in Washington Commons. read more
Had the Kojak omelette! How can you not order something called the Kojak omelette! Very very good and filling! Nice place and friendly staff. They do only take cash so bring a few bucks with you or you'll be doing the dishes. read more

Very good portion sizes for reasonable prices! It's located right on the corner by the beach. Service was great, and the food came out fast. Each lunch entree came with a side salad and fries. Breakfast is available until 2 PM. We got the chicken tenders, Philly cheesesteak, and chicken gyro. My personal favorites were the chicken tenders and gyro! Just took one star off since some of the salad seemed wilted and old, some leaves turning brown, but everything else was great. read more
Cash only restaurant steps from the beach! We dined on a Monday morning and the breakfast was delicious. I ordered the Traditional Benedict and my husband had a Bacon & Egg wrap with hash browns. Server was friendly in this cozy breakfast spot. Street parking available. read more

I'm really surprised that the star rating for this restaurant is as high as it is. There is absolutely nothing special about this place. The food while being a generous portion, especially for the price is average AT BEST. Bland and boring; if it weren't reasonably priced, we would feel ripped off. The service was awful. We were seated right away and offered drinks and that was the last of anyone appearing at our table. We sat patiently with our menus at the end of the table for so long that we considered leaving. The servers just kept walking past us or standing around either the front of the restaurant or the back chatting away. I wish we had just gotten up and left when it was first discussed but we were hungry and had already been there so long that to start over somewhere else just didn't make sense. We had to flag one of the servers to order. Then we were completely ignored again. We really should have left and given our money to a deserving establishment. Two stars for the large portion of food and the reasonable price. read more
We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the laid back, diner vibe of this place. All dishes were well executed and presented (nice side salads with each plate). Prices are reasonable but remember this is a cash only establishment. The gyro was good, but slightly light on the meat. The chicken tender plates for the kids were crowd pleasers and the fries were the stand out. Good service, friendly staff, great location . Bring your cash and give this place a try for an informal lunch. read more
Popped in here after it was recommended by our motel. It had been on my radar anyway, so decided to head here. Lucked out with a dinner seating and service was really fast. The hummus and pita was a bargain at $4. Loved it. The $19 chicken souvlaki came with a layer of thinly sliced fried potatoes that I swear to baby Jesus were the best I've ever had in my life. Crispy but tender, perfectly seasoned. The salad was generous. And the chicken souvlaki was good - I personally would have liked it if it had been more well-done. Like others, I was surprised when the check came and I whipped out my credit card that I was told it was CASH ONLY. I wish I knew in advance - I did look at the website later and there it was, buried deep within the pages. Might be helpful if it's mentioned up front, just in case. Luckily, I had just enough cash for dinner. read more
