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.

    Ordered a chicken pot pie. It had no chicken in it. Waiter said sometimes that happens. Got a full refund on my meal. Not returning.

    Table booked over a week ago and noted it was a special occasion We were seated at a terrible spot in a walkway so we asked for a table in the dining room but told we had to sit at the one for two people. We ordered and 50 minutes later our food arrived mostly cold. What a disappointment! More food was offered to be served but who wants to wait even longer. Very disappointing especially when this has been good in the past. Could have been just a bad night for them. Too bad they ruined a birthday celebration for us

    Two of us had a wonderful brunch on a Saturday morning. The menu has a wide variety of breakfast options. The food was delicious and the service was great.

    My favorite breakfast in Cape May! The decor reflects the history and the food is amazing. Enjoying the lobby is recommended and explore the shop if you love piggies!

    It has been a while since we have been to The Blue Pig. We started with fried calamari which was plentiful and delicious. We then both opted for the blue plate specials—my husband got the Caesar salad, shepherds pie and tiramisu. I opted for the other choices—New England clam chowder, crab cake and bread pudding. We both really enjoyed everything!! Our server was Lily and she was very good. She was attentive but not hovering. We will be returning soon!
