    Menu and coffee cup
    Carlie A.

    Love this location in north Cape May. Always super friendly service, quick with the coffee refills and yummy food. Super casual, come as you are atmosphere and open year round. Space is accessible to those using wheelchairs or mobility equipment and there are a lot of gluten free options, but just beware that cross contamination may be an issue.

    Absolutely LOVED Bill's Pancake House! Having bent to the one in Cape May many times, I was sure to seek out this location while staying in Villas for a week. First of all, our waitress on the first visit was the epitome of a friendly hometown restaurant waitress - great sense of humor who brought us great food! Place was packed to the brim when we arrived around lunchtime, but the service was awesome - great locals vibe, too. We made 2 more visits & our experiences (and food) were equally positive. If I lived here, this would be my go-to breakfast place! Highly recommended!

    "Well, my Uncle Bill's got a still on the hill Where he runs off a gallon or two The buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can't fly From smelling that good old mountain dew" (traditional Appalachian song) We had a few hours to kill before we caught the ferry to Delaware, so we were cruising around Cape May, and when we saw the sign for Uncle Bill's Pancake House, well that kind of made our lunch destination an easy choice. Uncle Bill's was jam packed and we were super lucky to get one of the rare tables for two. After we were seated, the next thing I noticed was the dining room seemed unproportionally staffed for the huge crowd. When we paid our bill, I realized why, when we learned that three servers had all called out sick that day. So I have to give a big shoutout to the staff that was on duty. They had to deal with much larger stations, more customers, and more meals per shift than usual. Oue server, Jamie, did a great job despite the heavy workload. He never stopped smiling and being cordial, so he did a nice job hiding the day's stress. We ordered Chocolate Chip Waffles ($9.50) and three scrambled eggs with a side of that New Jersey delicacy known as Pork Roll/ Taylor Ham ($10.50). Coffees were $2.75 each. My eggs were fine, and the two slices of salty yummy Taylor Ham were a rare treat indeed. Our breakfast for two was $25.50 before tax and tip. Bill's is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch, then closes at 2:00 pm. Breakfast is served all day with over 15 different types of pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelets, and more. They are something of a South Jersey shore institution with eight family-owned locations from Ocean City to Cape May.

    Our favorite breakfast place in Cape May County! The staff always makes us feel welcome, the food is high quality, and management ensures everything is running smoothly. Thank you for making each trip home special.

    Couple things to get right out of the way, just for informational purposes only. The place is mobbed so sometimes the parking lot is full. I've noticed people utilizing street parking across the street on Bayshore, which seems to be permitted. Also, it is very very very loud in here. Didn't bother me after a while. You kind of get used to it. I've been coming to the Cape May area for many years and I always avoided this place because I always saw the lines. Well now I know that there's a reason why-- The food is great.I love the taste of their pancakes. OMG why did I wait so long. Silly girl!!! They offer a variety of combo plates to suit everyone. Coffee is hot n fresh. Eggs seem right out of the bird. Servers run around in a frenzy to get your order in and delivered fast. The North CM location is on my list for repeat visits.

    Bacon eggs and pancakes.  M&m pancakes in back half eaten

    Came here with my family on vacation. Its exactly what you expect from your vacation pancake house. We were able to come here with our 2 and 4 year old. They loved their M and M pancakes. I really liked their pancakes. Eggs and bacon are typical. We bought one of their the-dye tshirts on our way out. Luckily we came for lunch and we didn't have to wait for a table.

    Strawberry pancakes, syrup, and hot chocolate
    Imani L.

    The servers and hostess here truly are sweet and friendly. Uncle Bills is a staple in south jersey I'm imagining because of the diner atmosphere and vast menu. I ordered the strawberry pancakes with some eggs, Taylor, ham, and hot chocolate . Nothing really wow'Ed me but nothing disappointed me either. I loveeeee that they have a vast gluten free menu. I wanted to try it but was nervous because Everytime I decide to try gluten free pancakes I'm super disappointed but next time, I will rip the bandaid for sure. If you're in the area, and missing a diner like atmosphere, this is your place!

    For our last breakfast in Cape May, we stopped at Uncle Bill's Pancake House! We waited about 15-20 minutes to get seated, and the restaurant was packed and definitely pretty noisy. We did wait quite a while to order, but tried to stay patient as our server was so busy boxing up takeout orders and trying to handle how many customers there were. The menu had so many great pancake choices, and I had the peach pancakes, which were unique as they were folded in almost crepe style. Everyone was happy with their food, and it's easy to see why it's favorite among Cape May visitors!

    French Pancakes
    Lorena C.

    We LOVE our breakfast especially good pancakes and this place did not disappoint. Rows of booths & tables with a counter, modern diner and they do serve lunch. The breakfast was so good we came back a second time before heading home. The first visit I had the French Pancakes, sweet thin rolled pancakes with powdered sugar. The second visit I ordered Pecan Pancakes...buttermilk pancakes filled with fresh pecans. Both times hubby had Buttermilk Pancakes. A good breakfast place has to make good eggs and they were perfect. The staff was lovely, attentive gave us good service :) OH they have Gluten Free Pancakes!!!

    Absolutely delicious food. Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Always a must visit when in the area!

    Breakfast Special add bacon and onions and pepper to potatoes
    Michelle C.

    my boyfriend and i have been on a hunt for good pancakes in the area and we were not disappointed with uncle Bills pancake house! The pancakes were extremely moist and fluffy. we loved that they gave us a big bottle of syrup instead of a small cup and a very generous scoop of butter! The breakfast special was pretty good, nothing crazy! we like keeping it simple. the potatoes were nice and soft with some crunch from the peppers and onions and a few crispy pieces of potatoes. no complaints! the service was great! our waitress was quick to take our order and checked on us a couple of times to make sure everything was good and to ask if we needed anything else. it was slightly busy when we went (breakfast rush) but we got seated fairly quickly. it has a more old fashioned look but that's what made it feel cozy and like we were getting a home cooked breakfast! we will definitely be coming back for more pancakes!

    3 eggs, sausage and 3 pancakes.

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.

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.

What stood out most was the rotating selection of baked goods. The menu seemed to change from day to day, so there was always something new to try and we never felt like we were ordering the same breakfast twice. The quiche was a particular highlight. It tasted fresh and was nicely prepared, and the staff kindly offered to heat it up for us, which made it even better. We also tried the muffins, scones, and cake, all of which were very good. Everything had that fresh-from-the-bakery quality that makes a simple breakfast feel a little more special. When we visited during the summer, most of the seating was outdoors, which worked nicely for a relaxed morning. The atmosphere was casual and easygoing, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. A great spot to stop in for breakfast if you're looking for fresh baked goods and a menu that keeps things interesting from one visit to the next. We'd happily come back on another trip, especially to see what was coming out of the bakery that day.

It didn't get better the rest of the night (other than time to provide the bill and run my credit card. Cocktails were great (Bees Knees and martini). Table bread was boring and tasteless. I'd just skip it next time. Our first course was fantastic! The Beet and Lobster salad was delicious and I highly recommend it. Also had the Foie Gras which was a large slice and delicious but the beet and lobster salad was better. For our entrées, my wife had the Bolognese, which comes with large penne pasta and pretty good. I would've preferred fettuccine noodle or shorter tube to pasta. The large tube penne was impossible to get in your mouth by itself. I had the tile fish entrée which was OK. I just probably wouldn't get it again. For dessert, we shared the blueberry cobbler. It was a bit cold, but had a good flavor. Not an inexpensive evening, so I wish things have gone a bit better given what we paid. Kind of interesting that the manager came by and made sure to talk to every table but ours on the porch. Not sure why, but it didn't give me a chance to express how things were going either.
