    Tuna
    Donna P.

    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.

    turkey and brie sandwich w/ house salad and fries
    Jason M.

    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.

    Havarti panini
    Alex P.

    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!!!

    Gyros
    Virginia J.

    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

    Lots of good food!
    Edward K.

    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.

    Gyro

    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.

    Veggie omelette
    Jackie B.

    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!

We had such a great meal here. They brought crusty bread with a Kalamata hummus, which you could definitely taste the garlic, luckily we both love garlic. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin kebabs which comes with a pilaf and vegetables, and he just about licked the plate clean, saying it wasn't dried out or overcooked. I ordered the salmon, which also came with the pilaf and vegetables. I tend to be picky about my fish since it's so easy to overcook. This salmon might have been the best fish I've ever had. It was seared quickly but not so long as to overcook it or dry it out. I forgot to take a picture of dessert, but we had the chocolate mousse that comes with vanilla ice cream. Yeah, it was as good as the rest of the meal. Another plus for this restaurant is the acoustic tiles, so you can hear the people at your table and you don't have to yell for them to hear you. Our breakfast server was right, this place was so good and we will definitely come back next time we're in the area.

On re-entry, the actual host walked away mentioning that he would be back shortly. After waiting another, at minimum, 5 minutes inside for the host who would be "right back", we asked a server when he would be back. The host finally came over and let us know that no tables were ready, albeit incorrectly for we were seated immediately after he came back. The server was extremely nice. I ordered the Havarti Panini. 3/4 of the plate came out with salad and fries which is a nice addition however I was looking forward to a sandwich. What I got was the end piece of bread cut in half to make up each "1/2" of the sandwich. I looked on their website and it appears to be inconsistent with their typical portion of bread. The chicken was extremely extremely dry and the cheese was cold. The service was abhorrent from the non-server staff. It appears that they sub the substantive portion of meals for the cheaper items such as fries, salad, etc.

My tuna was inedible. I wasn't able to express this because even though we had two servers (a main one and a trainee) no one came to check on us during our meal. The tuna was tough and nervy. I didn't eat any of it. Finally, at the end of the meal the server arrived to talk about desert. I let him know and showed him that the tuna was inedible. Instead of offering to take it off the bill he comped us two deserts. We ordered three deserts and were comped two. What I would have expected to happen is my tuna, which I didn't eat, should have been removed from the bill and we should have received a free desert to compensate for the bad piece of fish I was served. It's awkward to bring these things up in a large party. I live in Cape May and was always curious about this place so at least I'm no longer curious. .
