Pilot House

A long time favorite among locals and tourists alike, the Pilot House is one Cape May restaurant that's always open. Stop in at lunchtime for a hamburger or some fish and chips. Come back at dinner time for the Pilot House sirloin or their fresh local flounder. If you're not too hungry, no problem. You can order a salad or sandwich - try the famous Captain Dave’s Grouper Burger. Or just come in for a beer at the bar during Happy Hour, Monday through Friday.

There's always something going on at the Pilot House whether it's live music performances, locals' appreciation nights, or Tijuana Tuesdays with $1.50 tacos. It's easy to see how this Cape May restaurant has become a community staple.
