Has anyone dined at the Cape May Cafe since it has gone back to a Buffet

[71 Truck]

My wife and I were thinking of dinning at the Cape May Cafe for dinner since it has gone back to a buffet.
We dinned during the time it was a sit down dining for breakfast and dinner and it was good.

We have dined in the past and were wondering if it has gone back to the same menu that it was before the pandemic.
Looking on line at the menu, it does not appear that it is the menu as in the past and was not sure if Disney has not completely updated it yet.
I did not see the crab legs listed.
Just looking for some feed back as to the menu and if you thought it was worth the price.

I thought I just saw somewhere that the unlimited crab legs were being done away with permanently. Don't take my word for that though, I didn't investigate. I also remember thinking that it just meant they would be for a charge, instead of bottomless and included.

When my wife and I ate there during the time it was a sit down/table service and my memory is correct you could order crab legs for an extra add on price to your fixed meal price.
If my memory is correct, the old menu had base food items then they everyday then they would offer different items during different days of the week, something like fried clams on Thursday and Sunday.

Crab legs are available but are an additional $29 per pound.

Pre covid, the buffet was $55 per adult. The family style and now, the reopening of the buffet, is $42 per adult.

How did the first couple of days go?

The stinky seafood smell is still as pungent as ever no matter how the meal is served.

Oh no! Is it really that bad?

I have always thought Cape May and Coral reef has a fishy smell

I enjoy seafood, but I refused to eat here pre-COVID when we were staying at the Beach Club because the smell was so strong just walking by the restaurant.

Does the menu still rotate? I remember in the past they had fried clams and fried cod one day, calamari the other, etc. I think they used to rotate the pasta/non-seafood entrees on alternating days as well.

As of right now, no rotating of items. So far, every night on the buffet, has been fried clam strips, fried shrimp and fried fish nuggets. No calamari. No ribs, like pre covid, so every night has been lemon pepper chicken and strip lion carved to order.

Thanks for the information. I guess it makes planning our ADR’s easier. The choices seem pretty good anyway. Thanks.
