"I can't say enough. The service was great. Easy access off of rt 9. Cape may area. Parking lot big enough for some camper parking. The food was fantastic.i had a chicken avocado sandwich on a Kaiser roll with lettuce and tomato. It was huge, with 2 large pieces of chicken. A big mound of fries and a good cup of soup. I truly could not eat it all. My wife's food was the same delicious and more than she could eat. And the price was not bad at all. I absolutely recommend."
