The food at Cape May Clambake is awesome (although I don't know about the clams as we don't eat them ). But the buffet is great with alot of variety and the Beach Club atmosphere is nice, as well .
We are New Englanders (actually near Burlington, MA OP) who were disappointed and will not return. We did not find the food to be very good. It was a few years ago, and I don't think they had fried clams at all.
