The Lobster House has been a part of Cape May's waterfront dining scene since the late 1800s. It began as a small lobster shack, where fishermen would come to sell their catch directly to patrons. As the years went by and its popularity grew, it expanded into what it is today – one of the most beloved restaurants in all of Cape May. Over more than 120 years, The Lobster House has become an iconic destination for seafood lovers from near and far. Its three floors offer something for everyone - from classic dockside fare like fried clams and chowders to fresh-off-the-boat fish specials or signature dishes like our award winning Crab Imperial! Whether you’re looking for an intimate dinner with friends or family or just want sit back on their deck overlooking the harbor with some cocktails and snacks, The Lobster House is sure to be your go-to spot when visiting Cape May!
