Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s
excellent dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny
on what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we
talked about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard,
who served us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay
of the land.
The place: The Raw Bar at the Lobster House — the first left
coming over the Cape May bridge into town. Head straight through
the restaurant’s front doors to the back deck and it is right before the
Schooner entrance. The Lobster House has been around for four generations
and is a must-try stop in Cape May.
The vibe: It was a breezy Friday afternoon, and the sun was shining
just the right amount — a perfect day for lunch near to the water.
It was busy throughout the deck and at every spot through the Lobster
House property. They have the inside restaurant, the Raw Bar, the
Schooner, the take-out shop, the Fish Market and the Coffee Shop.
Tables lined the deck all the way down to the end of the building along
the harbor and families, friends and some pups were enjoying the
fresh air along with their lunch. They make it very easy inside the Raw
Bar — peruse the menu while you wait in line, place your order and
pay at the counter. Grab a table and listen for your number to be called
over the loudspeaker. It’s a very easy way to enjoy some fresh seafood
selections or sandwiches that come out quickly.
The food: Kayla started with a cup of the snapper soup — we
debated for a while about it actually being made of turtle. Kayla has
been told two different stories, so any insight on this serious matter,
please let us know! She also enjoyed the flatbread pizza with shrimp.
Nicole started with her favorite, the barbecued clams, and then had
the spinach salad, which she had leftovers of thanks to a very good
portion size. We stayed hydrated with some bottled water, but no
doubt our eyes were following all the orange crushes and ice-cold
beers walking by us… we managed to restrain ourselves.
The takeaway: The Lobster House does not take reservations and
their inside restaurant is open year-round. For more on the hours of
the Raw Bar, Schooner, take0ut shop, Fish Market and Coffee Shop,
visit their website or give them a call at 609-884-8296.
