About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
Gather at the Blue Pig Tavern, our distinctive restaurant tucked in the corner of Congress Hall. Known for hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner favorites, its name derives from a gambling parlor sited in Congress Hall in the mid-1800s. Earlier still, in the 1700s, Elias Hughes operated a tavern for whalers on this site. It was the first tavern in Cape May. Today, we offer timeless classics and new seasonal delights with ingredients that are always farm-fresh.

    Burrata salad was excellent … main meals was sub-par. Skirt steak was in too much oil, the gnocchi was ok and the lobster pot pie was not a pot pie. Was very disappointed as we have eaten at the establishment many times and have enjoyed it.

    The ballroom extra seating space was horrible and felt like we were in a storage room for weddings. The atmosphere was so poor and didn’t have the same vibe as the real Blue Pig Tavern and we never would have gone if we knew where we would be seated.

    The food was excellent, and the Waite staff was very nice. The dining area was dark and crowded.

    We’ve been there a few times and it’s always a great meal. All the apps and main dishes are great. The meatloaf is the best I’ve ever had.
