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.

    This is one of our favorite places to dine in Cape May. Jared waited on us this summer and we had him again this time. He’s attentive and pleasant! And he never gets flustered

    We had a table of 9 people. The food came out timely, hot, and was delicious. It’s our holiday tradition and will return next year.

    I was so grateful that the Blue Pig Tavern honored my requests for seating by putting my partner and I at the table we hoped for, off in the corner of the room with the fireplace. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and warm and everyone treated us so kindly. What a special anniversary dinner. (Also, the pumpkin pie with cranberry drizzle was one of the best desserts I've ever had).

    Mixed review -service and food great. However restaurant was crowded and they crammed our group of 6 adults into a booth. Restaurant was very hot inside and they had a fire going although outside temps were mild. Being that crowded into a table made the heat situation even worse. Hostess that seated us completely ignored us when we twice questioned the fact that we were being crammed into this booth. Our waiter was great though and we all enjoyed our food despite our discomfort

    We were greeted immediately and our beverage order was taken. Our breakfast order followed and was cooked as requested. Atmosphere was relaxing and the seating comfortable. We will certainly return in the future.
