Cape May Cafe -- Breakfast or Dinner

[Surfingstitch]

What do you prefer Breakfast or Dinner at CMC?

What are your favorite items?

Is it worth leaving the parks for this?

If you enjoy dinner, what do you do afterwards?

Breakfast!
There's a nice selection and the characters are great.

the clambake is... ... disappointing

I prefer breakfast - with the characters. My favorites at breakfast are the Krispy Kreme donuts and the cheese blintzes. The clam bake for dinner is probably very good, but not my cup of tea. I think it's worth it to go on a day you go to EPCOT or MGM - both parks very accessible from the Beach Club. If you choose to have dinner there, you can go back to EPCOT for Illuminations or MGM for Fantasmic or have fun strolling the Boardwalk.

We have dined at Cape May for breakfast and dinner many times but I have to say in the last 2 trips there dinner has been very disappointing. We notice the food was put out at 5 but they dont seat people until 30 minutes later, so if you do go for dinner go at 6:30 when they have had time to replenish the food and get it hot and fresh...another tip is to get the clams.mussels first because they go very quickly, same with the clam chowder..once it is gone it takes forever to replenish. My fav is the roasted chicken breasts, BBQ ribs, fried talapia and corn bread but only if it is soft and moist...they recently placed it on the hot plates instead of where the rolls and bread are so it gets dried out fast.

We love breakfast and tend to go before 8 am...excellent stuff and my fav is the yogurt bar and bread pudding. At that hour the place is about empty so you get alot of character time. We did a 10 am ressie last month and the place was slammed crowded and we did not get to see Chip and Dale.

It is totally worth leaving the parks for, I think resorts have better restaurants...

After dinner we usually stroll the walkway to the YC, Swan and Dolphin, BW and then to Epcot..a nice long walk helps me digest a big meal

We haven't been in about a year, but they always did when we were there. One time I remember they had run out, so I'm guessing it would be better to get there early.

If someone has been more recently, I would be interested in knowing if they still have Krispy Kremes.

Breakfast!

We were there in September for dinner and the clams were very low end clams. Gritty. Maybe a bad batch I don't know. Husband said he would have rather went to Beaches and Cream that night because the clams were not very good.

Our last 3 trips there (all this year) they just had donut holes, no Krispy Kreme

Go for the Breakfast.

The seafood buffet dinner is not that good. IMHO Seafood is something that doesn't work well on a buffet.

I don't think "disappointing" even begins to describe dinner. I was really looking forward to this buffet this weekend b/c it was one of the few places I haven't tried in the World. I will NOT be going back.

Long lines and a skimpy selection of dinner offerings is not my idea of a (somewhat) pricey buffet. My husband was very disappointed with the clams b/c they were tiny and most of what he scooped into his bowl were empty shells.

Maybe breakfast is better....

Both are great.

OH NO !! I guess they really are cutting back - We didn't make an ADR for Cape May this year and now I know why!!

(That's pretty bad when you choose a particularly breakfast because of the donuts)

Never tried it for breakfast but dinner is always a must for us. Never disappointed.

 

[mla973]

I agree with Maraki527 - we have always enjoyed our dinners there. I must say that I am not a big seafood fan, so I've only tried the shrimp, but there is a ton of chicken, beef, etc. and many, many sides and salads. We've never been disappointed. The service is great as well. The Oreo bon bons just put it over the top.

Never tried it for breakfast but dinner is always a must for us. Never disappointed.

Tried both on the last trip. I thought the breakfast was better than the dinner. I believe this is the place that had breakfast pizza and it was delicious. Lots of things to choose and yummy...

MMMM... this is the best breakfast!! It was so good that we made another reservation for the next day when we finished our breakfast one morning. The CMs were great too!

 

[Tikitoi]

Only had dinner but was very much worth leaving the park for. It was nice to walk around BW area after. Then went back to MGM for Fantasmic. Will do breakfast in about 37 days, can't wait.
