Had to come to Uncle Bill's after many recommendations! It did not disappoint! Party of 5 went on a Saturday morning around 10 and while it looked packed, we were seated right away and food came out quickly. Wesley was a great server and it was so sweet to know that he grew up going there since his mom was a server when he was little. Great kid! The food was good but the pancakes were delicious! Our table tried the Oreo, strawberry, and apple pancakes and they were all great. The apple and strawberry ones get folded into a triangle like shaped and are stuffed and topped with fruit while the Oreo were cooked like regular pancakes. The syrup is from Canada and it was VERY good. The orange juice was DELICIOUS.. fresh and not too sweet. I could go for another right now! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The diner has indoor and outdoor seating and it's a cute local diner feel with lots of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty loud because of how busy they were but not unbearable and we could still enjoy conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

My friends and I had the opportunity to eat at Uncle Bill's this morning and it definitely lived up to the hype. There were 8 of us, but we only waited about 15 min which was surprising because of how busy it was. Our waitress was kind and attentive, and quick to correct any mistakes. I ordered chocolate chip pancakes ($10.50) with a side of home fries ($4.50) and mmm mmm mmm it was so good. The whipped butter with the fluffy, chocolate filled pancakes really hit the spot. I'm also a huge fan of home fries and these were exactly the salty crunch I needed to pair well with the pancakes. My friends also said that the cold brew was pretty good! We were in and out quickly because of how fast we ate/how good it was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also a cute little cozy diner scene.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely recommend.

buttermilk pancakes

definitely one of the better places to eat in the wildwood area! it's a little touristy but the food is good. the menu is extremely centered around breakfast foods and sweet ones at that (pancakes, french toast, etc). don't expect to grab a lunch item here or set your bar very low. for being so crowded service was pretty good and the coffee refills came steadily. of course the pancakes are delicious. thin, soft, tender. perfect when smothered with butter and syrup. def a staple we'll come back to next time we are down the shore!

Good food , fast service, [[HIGHLIGHT]]old fashioned eatery so don't expect a wow moment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. They make it there business to turn over tables so customers get to experience their good food. CIAO FOR NOW

It's a decent spot if you want a gluten free breakfast that also has a lot of non gluten free options for others. It's not the most robust GF menu but it's there. I was happy enough with what they offered after a long walk around town. Our server was attentive and sweet which is all you can hope for first thing in the morning. The food was good and portion sizes were pretty large. I have Celiac and I wouldn't say that it's GF safe for everyone or for very sensitive Celiacs but I didn't experience any issues. Presentation of my waffles was so great and they didn't skimp when I ordered extra whip. We will definitely go back when we are back in town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]P.s. we went in the off season and since this is one of very few good breakfast spots, it got pretty busy pretty quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Generous portions of scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes, coffee was ok, food was ok not great. Reasonable prices and good service though.

WOW- the blueberry pancakes were DELICIOUS!! so yummy that i asked my fiancée to recreate them once we returned home to NY. we also purchased an adorable turtle magnet that said Cape May, NJ on it to match our matching tattoos. service was prompt and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]restaurant has a comfortable, cozy feel with a good amount of space too- i really loved being able to sit at the booth by the window![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Hot chocolate with whipped cream
Mike E.

Uncle Bill's is a chain with 7 locations in Jersey shore towns. It's a touristy spot. I've had much better breakfasts at hometown diners and other mom/pop shoretown diners. This place fed us, but unfortunately has nothing I can really recommend. It has a good size parking lot for a busy area that charges almost everywhere for parking. We were lucky to get a spot. It's always going to be crowded in here, so keep that in mind too. Our server was friendly and did a great job. She made a nice looking hot chocolate with whipped cream. Coffee was very weak. Huge disappointment. My little hotel room machine makes stronger coffee. I expected more out of the blueberry pancakes breakfast. It was a few fluffy pancakes stuffed with some blueberries. This dish could've been so much more if it had even just a sprinkling of fresh blueberries, which are in peak season now in the area. I ordered a side of strawberries with one of the waffle dishes and we got a scooping of the sugary canned strawberries they use for filling pancakes...for $5. The pancakes are fluffy here, but nobody was wow'd by their breakfasts to make us want to return.

So many choices and they are all amazing! Staff were super nice and friendly. We are for sure coming back on this trip and highly recommend this as a must h

Chocolate chip pancakes

This local beach chain was a new find for me and I am SO glad I found it. The cutest old school looking beachy diner, there's even a little bar area that we sat at that was super cute. And GREAT food. And because of the name, I just had to try the pancakes and they were perfection. The perfect amount of fluffiness and still thin enough to be able to eat them all! The staff was super friendly even with it being so packed with people, I'd go back for sure!!

I saw it was a Greek place, being Greek myself, I was like, perfect. Let's go! My husband and MIL got the falafel pita & I got the gyro pita. We cleaned our plates. The plate came with delicious French fries and a salad. It was exactly the kind of meal I wanted. We all very much enjoyed our lunch. As we were finishing my MIL said I made a great choice. Haha. Very cute place, kept our waters full and the food was great. Only bad thing is the Diet Coke was flat. Other than that, two thumbs up! POLI KALA!

I was recommended the tiramisu waffle and it did not disappoint. Loved it. Very old school diner feel. The beachfront location makes it an easy stop before heading to the beach, and the portions were generous. I'd absolutely return on my next Cape May trip. Keep in mind they do not accept credit cards and send you next door to get cash from the atm. There's no mention on this in Google and caught me and apparently the line of diners behind me by surprise as we had to pull cash for our meal after service. Would've been nice to know before hand but doesn't take away from the good food. Will return!

I feel like so many restaurants and establishments want five star reviews but don't give five star…read moreservice. However, this place does! We were so impressed with their serving team, their offerings, and just the restaurant as a whole. The food was amazing! They had a lot of gluten free options. The most I've seen on one menu in a while. One of the best burgers I've ever had, GF bun included. My husband was really impressed with his whole meal as well. I think some places could really learn a thing or two from Exit Zero. This place is just super cool even if you just want to take home some goods from their store. We ordered to go because we had to catch the ferry but we did eat outside as it was such a nice day. They have these super cool trucks and vans that you can reserve online to eat in as well.

I ordered the big EZ burger salad but substituted grilled chicken. The salad was huge with tomato, carrot, pickled onions, pickles, mushrooms, and beets. Everything was fresh. The chicken was overcooked but had a good flavor. They offered a water bowl for my dog. And gave him a treat that is locally made for them. Plus he got some of my chicken lol. I wish they would add a dog menu. I love the vibe being an old gas station. Never been inside. They have a new menu since my last visit. I want to go back and try the Curry dishes.

It's easy to get to all the shops and eateries, but you aren't right in the thick of everything, which made for a more calm and relaxing stay. The hotel has complimentary bikes, and we were able to bike to town in just a few minutes. The hotel is small and there are only a few guestrooms. We stayed on the top floor and our window had ocean views which was such a treat. I was worried about the room being hot but the AC was extremely strong. Rooms are a bit dated and the carpet really needs to be replaced. The bed is super comfy and the bathroom is more updated, but new carpet would really make the room - the current carpet is like a funky green. We had to try the restaurant since it gets such great reviews and it definitely lived up to the hype. The lobster fra diavolo was sooo good and came with so much lobster meat. Breakfast is included in the stay and was so delicious. They have a screened in porch that overlooks the ocean and there's really no better way to start off your day. Everyone that works here is friendly and helpful, and there are little cute touches like complimentary drinks and snacks, a wine and cheese hour and beach items like umbrellas and chairs. Overall this is a super cute hotel - it's classy and beautiful and the perfect backdrop for photos, and the oceanfront location is prime.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!…read more My Sir (yes, I literally call him that because he is such a sexy Sicilian gentleman and always dresses to the 9's!) is taking me away here for my birthday. It's my first one with him in my life :) I was blown away when we walked up to the main house, toured inside of ours, had tea, a cozy night and breakfast. He breakfast was nithing shoet of amazing! The star was the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast casserole - like OMG insanely delicious!!! I kind of had three servings! Many other perfect choices too, like English muffins, fruit, yogurt, granola). Our room is done in dark reds and boasts cherrywood. Also, beautiful prints and furniture. We had a romantic evening with the jacuzzi, (gas) fireplace and cloud cozy King sized bed! Stellar service from all - Sam and Amanda in particular. They do A LOT here! We MAY leave the room today, lol. Walking Washington Street is a possibility. MAYBE the Zoo... I lived in Cape May many moons ago. A definite place to visit- you will always have somewhere to go and somewhere to eat! Splurge on the decadence of The Queen Victoria!!! You're worth it!!!

This was our first visit to this charming B&B and it was truly a positive & memorable experience. It's located within the heart of Cape May, so walking distance to a myriad of restaurants and shops and only one block from the beach. The amenities are unbeatable - beach cruiser bikes, beach chairs and towels, lots of outdoor porches to relax on and read, and an outdoor shower. The breakfasts are delicious (we had an egg/cheese entree with ham the first day & a stuffed French toast with sausage patty the 2nd day) The daily morning and afternoon baked goods were delicious (especially the assorted breads with homemade strawberry jam!) The owners (Doug & AnnaMarie) are extremely warm and welcoming and go above and beyond & to ensure every guest felt safe during the COVID pandemic (great social distancing, mask awareness, plastic shields as needed & hand sanitizer). A well stocked 24 hr kitchen with plentiful bottled water as well. Lots of extras that you don't find in other B&Bs. They also immediately alerted us when my wife left her pocketbook behind at breakfast. You can tell that the management truly cares about making this place a great experience for their guests without cutting any corners. It's truly a beautiful property with lots of outdoor space and charming rooms each unique & all very well-maintained, extremely clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing but wonderful things to say about the Queen Victoria & we hope to be back again soon!
