    I'm stunned by the good reviews of this place. Not only is it a hole in the wall with a warehouse-like atmosphere (VERY loud), but the food and service are below average. I'm just getting around to writing a review, although I have not been there recently. We went with another couple. It's very awkward to come in the door and wait because there is NO space for a waiting area at all. You just stand there at the front door like idiots while there are people eating a foot from you. We all ordered the specials on the board. I got flounder. It was fresh, but it was certainly nothing special. It came w/ plain white rice. I could have prepared something more creative at home. The desserts were the best part of the meal. The wife of the couple who came with us found a hair in her water glass---yuck! It can happen in any place, but overall, this place had a rundown feel to it, that made it seem likely to find a hair in the water glass. Also, the servers were diner-type, so don't expect elegant service. We wondered what was taking so long for our meals, and then we discovered that our server was out on a cigarette break (my husband saw this when he walked out to the car for something). The atmosphere is as loud as the stock exchange floor. We had to shout to hear each other, and after a while, we just stopped talking because of the effort it took to have a conversation. All in all, this place is highly overrated. I haven't been back since.

    My husband and I had dinner here last night. We had a salad appetizer which was fresh and tasty. My husband had the tuna which was ok. Not really seared on the outside and cooked a little too much. I had the flounder with crab meat. The flounder was so tasteless, like it didn't even exist. We had bananas foster for desert. First bite and we knew we made a mistake. The bananas and sauce were cold like they were just thrown over vanilla ice cream. We told the waitress the bananas and sauce were cold and she said they would take it back into the kitchen and cook it properly. When they brought it back it was properly prepared, even smelled better but strangely, they used the same ice cream they served us the first time! We will not be returning to this restaurant when we are back in Cape May.

    Average food, rude comments by the owners. I originally wrote a 3 star review on another travel site about this restaurant. I have about 225 reviews over a 10 year period on that site, so I am not one of those people who writes a nasty article and is never heard from again. This restaurant is BYOB and one of my complaints was that there was a $3.00 corking fee for wine. It was clearly stated on the bill. Several other reviews on that site also stated that there was a corking fee. After the review was posted I received a nasty email from them denying that there was a fee. I stand by what I wrote. Their comments were unnecessary. Cape May has a lot of good restaurants and the management needs to realize that you do not antagonize your customers. There is too much competition in the restaurant industry and in in a down economy, its not a smart move. Due to this, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

    This little place is a favorite of my boyfriend's family, and now, after eating there twice, it's one of mine as well! McGlade's is an amazing little family-owned spot right outside of Cape May. It's in a little strip mall, and may not look like much from the outside, but the service is great and the food is truly amazing! We called on a Saturday in the middle of summer to get a reservation for that night for 8 people. They were more than gracious about us and were able to get us at 9 pm. We arrived with our 4 bottles of white wine (which they promptly put on ice) and were seated within a few minutes of arriving. As the other reviewer also says, the bread is amazing, and we quickly asked for more, which they were happy to provide. The regular menu is pretty small, but that's ok as the specials menu (listed on a chalkboard on the wall), is plentiful and definitely the star of the show! As appetizers, we split the baked brie (amazing!), the lobster bisque (yummy) and the bruscetta (also awesome). No complaints at all! For an entree, I ordered the sea bass (crusted with macadamia nuts and with a key lime/tequila glaze. It was one of the pricier dishes on the menu, so I hemmed and hawed a little, but in the end, I'm glad that I ordered it as it was AMAZING! Most of the table got the special grouper (which seems to be a steady special as both times I've been there it's been offered), which was also really, really good. We did try the cobbler for dessert; while it was good, it was definitely not what I would consider a cobbler... I was pretty stuffed by the end, so I was happy to have a bite or two and leave it at that. All in all, you really can't go wrong here...

    Enjoyed a very good dinner here last night. Shared a fried tomato appetizer which was excellent, really tasty. My husband had Backstreet Carbonara with grilled chicken and I had Caribbean Jerk Grouper -- both were fantastic. We brought a bottle of chardonnay which our waiter uncorked and placed in a wine cooler for us, a nice touch. The only "disappointment" of the evening was the peach cobbler -- it was very tasty but a little too doughy and not enough peaches; in fact, most of the bites we took had no peach in them, just dough. The atmosphere is very nice and intimate. The only thing I'd change when we revisit is to order a different dessert. Overall, it's a great restaurant and I'm glad we tried it!

    We had a wonderful meal in this tiny but friendly and excellent little restaurant. Hidden in a nondescript strip mall, this is a word of mouth stop because you would never notice it otherwise. SO glad we heard of it and it good rave reviews on Trip Advisor. The desserts are amazing. Make a reservation...it is crowded and popular. BYOB. Not inexpensive but worth it

    Great little eatery tucked away in West CM in an old self storage / strip mall on Park Boulevard. BYOB. Reservations suggested. Dinner last night was above average - delicious basket of fresh and hot homemade breads, a wide selection of appetizers, entrees and deserts. We had the asparagus with crab-meat, brie with brown sugar, fruit and toast points, pan fried tomatoes and bruscetta to start. All divine - brie was outstanding. For entrees we had flounder overflowing with lump crab, grilled flank steak and cheddar encrusted grouper. Also all very good and best of all reasonable portion sizes on 10 inch plates so you are not gorged. Desert was coconut raisin bread pudding, peanut butter pie and blueberry cobbler. All made fresh on site. The cobbler was the only disappointment - overcooked so more cake than cobbler like. Service was attentive and friendly and also expedient. A great choice for dinner.

    McGlade's Backstreet is the BEST place to eat in Cape May!!! Every time I come home, I eat here as much as possible. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere laid back but elegant, and the food is the tastiest I've ever had. No lie. It's definitely hard to choose, but my top entree recommendations are the panfried crab cakes, filet with garlic butter & blue cheese & the panfried fish. mmmmm...and if you're lucky enough to be there when the panfried tomatoes appetizer is on the specials board, do not pass them up!! For dessert, the oh so yummy banana's foster cannot be beat! AND it's bring your own booze. Can it get any better??? I think not. =) Love you Theresa & Tony!
