Service and food selections were excellent. The atmosphere was good, and prices were very reasonable, what else would you want? While it doesn't stand out as an exceptional restaurant, it is a very good one, and if you happen to be in Cape May, stop by here for a bite to eat.

Lunch here turned out to be a surprise. Looked like there were way too many items on the menu. But our order was handled perfectly. Everything came out in it proper order and was hot and delicious. Could not ask for more. And being on the Washington Street Mall ice cream was next door.

I wish we had an Ugly Mug around the corner from us. They had the BEST pastrami sandwich I've ever had. The portion was so large I had my leftovers for dinner. The drinks were ice cold and delicious. Great martini. I had the Ecstasy Martini and it was great. My husband even like the cole slaw and he is... More

The food was good and so was the service but it's a lunch spot... If your looking for a nice decent dinner this isn't the place ... It's a great place to have a beer guzzling contest which is what they do here but not a good dinner spot....

Stopped while walking the mall for some refreshment and eats. try the jerk turkey legs, they were great! The fish and chips was just average. But they make a great margarita!

The wait staff was wonderfully accommodating & attentive. We sat outside along the street & they brought out a bowl of water for our dog. The food was SO delicious & HUGE portions! Could not afford to go there every meal but still worth the money I thought. And so close to all the action--people watching & could hear the... More

We went over Memorial weekend, so the place was packed. We were satisfied with our food (mostly seafood) and service.
