Cape May Clam Bake Buffet Review - The DIS Discussion Forums

Priorityonecb · 06-15-2006, 12:39 AM

This one also got a thumbs down from our family. But, I will admit that we were all tired, hot and bothered when we arrived. We fully admit that could have colored our view. Dd15 had also just hyperextended her knee so she was hurting and wasn't in the mood to eat.

The buffet was plentiful, but the shrimp was very overcooked and tough. The sides were all great, I made a meal of those and the salads and salmon. Dd15 pretty much ate a serving of salad and some fruit. Dd9 didn't care for the kids buffet, but found enough to eat on the regular buffet to keep her happy. She is just not a chicken tender, mac and cheese kind of kid!

Kudo's to the chef here. Dd9 has a peanut allergy. He came out to inform us there was nothing on the dessert buffet that was safe for her. He asked her, if she could have anything what would it be. She said "chocolate icecream with blueberries"...and darned if he didn't show up within 5 minutes with just that! She was thrilled.

Thanks for the review. We love Cape May Cafe. Glad to hear that the chef was so great with the allergy.

Sorry it didn't go well for you. CMC is a must do for us.

Thanks for the review..Wow the chefs seem so considerate when it comes to food allergies I have heard several times of them coming out and talking to families..

That's great! I have never heard of a combination like that before! lol!

I am sorry you were not happy with Cape May. We really love it there~of course we don't eat any of the seafood!

EpcotMatt · 06-21-2006, 05:14 PM

We love Cape May & never miss it! The one drawback is that I tend to feel sick everytime I leave...because I go through about 4 plates of clams{in addition to everything else, including the great dessert bar}.

theflowerladee · 06-21-2006, 05:21 PM

We do not eat seafood, but Cape May is a definate stop on all of our trips, usually 2x, once for breakfast with Minnie and once for dinner.

MinnieJasmine&Pooh · 06-22-2006, 08:39 PM

Do they have ribs and corn? How are they?

olbear · 06-23-2006, 03:22 PM

yes they do have BBQ ribs and they also have steamed corn on the clam side usually.

This is one of our favorite don't miss places to eat.

Blessings,
Winnie

Our trip to the World would not be complete without a meal at CMC. We really enjoy the selection there and have always had a great meal. Also, the servers are consistantly great. Sorry your experience was not good, maybe you can give it another chance.

PS~I love their cornbread

Thanks for the review, sorry you weren't impressed with the food. A few years ago they were also really great with my dairy allergy at breakfast. They prepared some dairy free waffles for me, but also were willing to make any other dishes dairy free.

Thanks for your review.

How great! My son also has a peanut allergy; must admit we've never had any1 who was so caring and helpful! I'm impressed.
