Another restaurant we enjoyed so much that we went twice during our short visit to Cape May (see previous review). The prices here are ridiculous; in the best way. We were seriously shocked at them. So dang cheap! Just look at that menu and their "specials" board. Not to mention $2.50 pints of Pabst beer all the time! Cocktails are also very reasonably priced. Me and my husband love buffalo wings. We got an order of them during our first visit. WOW. They were sooo good. SO good. Up there on the some of the "best wings we've ever had" list. We had to go back a second time for another round of those scrumptious wings. We liked the other food we got too but the wings were the highlight! read more

The chicken wings were amazing! Our server was delightful and very attentive! My boyfriend had blackened scallops and I had fish tacos which were very fresh and crispy. The place has an ample bar, not fancy. We enjoyed our meal and the restaurant. read more

Im currently staying at a gorgeous Cape May bed and breakfast for my early birthday celebration! We had lovely tea and cookies and crackers with dips, etc. It fueled my hunger. My dinner suggestion was an old haunt that I used to frequent when my ex husband and I lived here... Kristen was our server. She was upbeat and sweet. Rolled with my Sir's quick witted humor too ;) I ordered what I used to (25 years ago!) - seafood pizza. Still so damned good! Sir got a pastrami sandwich. A bit small but he liked it. Great little spot, plus affordable. read more

C View Inn - Seafood pizza! (1/2/25) - American Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

Great stop on our Cape May Pub crawl! Most excellent local bar, will definitely come back on our next trip to Cape May!

I feel like a local going to this local bar eatery. There is a small lot but it's tight so we parked on the street. The inside is tight but doesn't matter as we really enjoyed our food. The table really enjoyed the wings The staff was super friendly Prices were reasonable We will be back read more

Air conditioning was freezing and chairs were wobbly. We also got charged for refills and never had before. Paid over$24 for 4 sodas with 3 refills. I have never been charged when eating a full meal for refills. read more

Another perfect pour from Bobby.....a Guinness and seafood go great together......u can't beat the CView

Sadly, dining out at the shore can be overpriced, overhyped and overrated - That's not the case at C View Inn. The interior is everything you want from your local bar and the menu, incredibly affordable tavern food with a few cool surprises. read more

Friday nights they have Seafood Specials, such as Blackened Grouper, for under $20. Very delicious!

Oldest Tavern in Cape May, serving customers since 1948. Ambience is nostalgic and dive-bar-ish but cool. We stopped in on a Monday night in April and the restaurant and bar area was busy, we found 2 seats at the bar and took in a Phillies game, enjoyed a few pints, enjoyed the boneless hot wings ("bites") and tried out the Monday Rib special. The beers were cold and delicious, the hot wing bites were perfectly spicy, with chunky blue cheese dressing on the side and celery. The rib platter can't be beat for the price and taste, served with fries and slaw. Bartender was helpful and friendly. read more

Went here twice in our trip. First time was just with the 4 of us...got the wings on the special and was awesome. Wings are huge and the rest of the food was pretty good too. Went back two nights later and there were 7 of us. Only thing was they put two very small tables together cause they said the bigger tables are for bigger parties. They seat 4. Whether it was us or two groups of three, those tables would've been used. Food and atmosphere was still great second time around though minus the cramped table part. I would for sure hit this little gem up! read more

Food was delicious as always and so we're the drinks. Our service was not as good as the food. Waitress seemed overwhelmed and cranky. After waiting a while to order more drinks-just got up from our table and purchased them at the bar. read more

Best wings in cape May county. Friendly staff and great dive bar. Specials during the week as well.

Neighborhood gem filled with locals. Absolutely amazing wings... and many different sauces. My bf had the garlic hot wings and wow... was the sauce delicious! Wings had very little fat and were very meaty. I got the buffalo sautéed shrimp which were very good. Only mediocre thing was the bar pie... was thinking of thin crust like Star tavern, but was more like a premade crust with sauce and tons of mozzarella! Can't wait to return to try a few more things. Prices very reasonable. Service definitely faster for locals, but we weren't in a rush! read more

C View Inn - Stella and garlic hot wings! Delicious! - American Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

C View Inn - Dinner and the Eagles game - American Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

I just had a fantastic dinner with my family at the C View Inn! It has a small dining area but I loved the atmosphere. Our waitress was awesome and was very attentive to our needs throughout the meal. We all really enjoyed the food we ordered My sister, dad and I ordered the Lobster Bisque and it was soooo good! My sister and dad split mild buffalo wings; I got honey BBQ wings with ranch and they were shockingly crispy and so delicious; my brother got a bacon cheeseburger with loaded fries and loved it too! The only thing we didn't love was the potato skins -- they were okay but not the best we've had. Overall, I would definitely recommend the C View Inn and I will definitely be back! read more

I had a disappointing experience at this establishment. The waitress, who wore glasses, seemed unfriendly and even discussed us with her coworkers. It took her a while to check on us, and glad she did, the French fries she served us were cold, drinks were empty and meals were missing items. When I ordered my Guinness shown here, I had to go to the bar to get it myself she never came back. She spent much of her time chatting at the hostess station, instead of taking care of her customers. read more

Wonderful throw back neighborhood kind of place. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner recently and it was quite obvious of how proud he was of his establishment. Great food, Fantastic music, and ice cold beers on tap. I enjoyed my favorite old time beer...PBR and totally enjoyed my time there. And prices? Extremely reasonable. 10 stars and then some! read more

Great food at reasonable prices, which is rare in Cape May! Super atmosphere. Daily specials are always delicious!

Very rustic locals place. We were looking for a very casual option. Drink prices were fantastic! Prices at this place is like from the 80's. VERY reasonable prices! We shared 20 wings as I read al these great reviews about the wings - they were just OK because they were breaded & I dislike breaded wings. Would go back again & try other things. Very tight seating. read more

One of our favorite Cape May bars with great food. Great upbeat atmosphere and Guinness on tap. We went with the soup of the day,cream of crab, which a bit thick and not the best, a little lacking flavor. However the cheesesteak hoagie ( lettuce, tomato, raw onion and Mayo) was amazing as always, as were the onion rings. I don't know why it is so hard for places to get this right, but may I suggest a trek to The C View to look at theirs ? Ok, maybe the roll is a bit soft for a Philadelphia cheesesteak snob such as myself, but the beef and cheese more than make up for this misgiving. Service is fast and friendly, and prices are reasonable. We've been going to the C View for years and it sure was good to be back. read more

Awesome wings. Really good sandwiches and some different sides. And if eat in C View good service and pretty good ambience

Food was good. Service was absolutely atrocious. After being seated, the wait to order took 15min and that's only because I flagged them down. After that, good luck trying to order another drink or food. Then closing out took me going to the bar and asking if we could get help closing out our check. I'm sorry. I don't normally do this but the terrible service warrants a bad review. read more

No fuss - Quick bar food and quick drinks. Nothing fancy. Buffalo scallops were pretty yummy. Good service.

Ok let's Wing it..... The Wings are always a hit at the C View Inn . The bar is small so try to get there early especially on the weekends. Likewise , the Parking lot is also small but the only size that counts are the Buffalo Wings. The wings are a nice size with incredible taste. We get them ordered well done.. nice and crunchy! The waitresses work hard and try to keep up with demanding bougie Cape May crowd . My only critique is the bar could be little cleaner. Half eaten wings are seen on the floor , bathrooms are filthy and the overall cleanliness is poor. The TV's could use an upgrade . We will still come back as long as the wings are top notch! read more

October 21st, 2025. Stopped in to have a drink and food with a friend at the bar and proceeded to have the worse service. Was ignored for 5 min before I was asked if I wanted a drink or menu. Then when my friend arrived it took at least 3 min before she was acknowledged. Then when we decided to go somewhere else and I asked for my check. I was refused my check. No one would give me my check. So for the corona and ultra that I had I left $20 on the bar and walked out. It's a shame, I grew up going to that bar as a kid nights after working at the lobster house headed to the Seaview for wings and a couple drinks. Man has that place changed. read more

Want to know what I heard when I asked, "Where do the locals go?" The C View Inn! Why? At dinner, the whole place was abuzz with chatter and laughing. The TVs played sports highlights and the bartender kept folks at the bar entertained! Friendly wait staff hustled to bring the food! We went on wings night and loved the garlic parm wings. At the C View join the locals to be "down the shore" and at a place where "everybody knows your name." read more

C-View Inn in Cape May is over 106 years old, or so I read. Irish theme, very affordable menu, good drinks, fun dive bar environment. This is a fun spot to visit down here without breaking the bank. The C-View fries are delicious, so tasty we got 2 orders of them! The wings were very lightly breaded, almost naked, and I got the garlic hot sauce and a side of their "suicide" sauce. Spicy if you are sensitive to heat, but if you aren't, not too spicy at all. This spot gets . Also, take a peek at the weekly specials! read more

If you're looking for a decent, cheap meal in cape May, definitely the spot to go. It's standard bar food with great deals and prices. Not your typical beach spot but a definitely a highly recommended dive bar. Wings and food specials can't be beat. read more

Picked up a large takeout order on 8/22 and it was terrible...warm/wilted Caesar salad placed in bag with hot food, underdone fries & onion rings, and dry/tasteless wings. called to complain but manager wont take call. i even dropped off the wings we did not eat. $78 down the drain. Had to order from another restaurant at last minute to feed my guests. Eating in their dining room is usually fine but think twice before you do take out. What ever happened to the importance of customer service? read more

Went there twice last week 9/9-9/12 while we were down for vacation. Monday night the 9th the hostess was rude and nasty. Did not care for her at all. Wish I got her name but she didn't have a name tag on. I mean I asked a question and she came back at me with a nasty response and making a face while saying it. The waitress was OK but seemed to be friends with the hostess and they kept talking and it took for ever to get our food. Thursday the 12 was a much better experience. Hostess was very pleasant and the waitress was as well. Always made sure we had everything we needed. Anytime we needed something she was right there. As for the food we got the wings and a pizza. Food was amazing. Wings cooked perfect and we asked for sauce on the side so you really tasted the wings. Pizza was great as well. So no companion the food at all. read more
