About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
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.

    Wonderful, historic hotel with multiple restaurants and bars. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Bacon wrapped meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy was very good. Little expensive as expected.

    Tile fish special and chicken entrees were just ok with the fish a little fishy tasting and the brown sauce was a little off putting paired with the chicken. Crab cake entree was very good. Fish and chips and seasonal romaine salad, which were easily shareable, were delicious. Bread basket was also delicious. Attentive server.

    Much improved food. We are long time diners and this season the food has taken a jump forward. Shame there were some very noisy neighbors on the table next to us.

    As a pretty frequent dinner we were let down on Mother’s Day…our waitress missed multiple orders and while the menu says cape may salts there were not (luckily we did ask first and ordered the substitute). But if we had not asked we would not had been informed.

    The food was just ok. We made reservations for mothers day. My daughter got the Croissant breakfast sandwich. The croissant was basically a roll and it was served cold. She ordered bacon but was sent porkroll they fixed it but we had all received our food. My wife got the eggs Benedict. Her English muffins were also cold and not toasted. We all ordered the breakfast potatoes we’ll done. Overall for just under a hundred with tip it was just ok. The outside seating was wonderful on a beautiful day though.
