Gather at the Blue Pig Tavern, our distinctive restaurant tucked in the corner of Congress Hall. Known for hearty breakfast, lunch and dinner favorites, its name derives from a gambling parlor sited in Congress Hall in the mid-1800s. Earlier still, in the 1700s, Elias Hughes operated a tavern for whalers on this site. It was the first tavern in Cape May. Today, we offer timeless classics and new seasonal delights with ingredients that are always farm-fresh.

    Blue Pig Tavern has excellent food and the service is also exceptional. If it’s cold outside see if you can be seated near the fireplace.

    We had a wonderful experience at The Blue Pig this past Sunday. Buddy was a wonderful waiter. He was attentive and helpful. Special shout out to Edgar who helped with our drinks. The food was delicious. We had a variety of items from the breakfast and lunch menus. The biscuits and gravy were top notch. Our birthday girl raved over her Tavern Burger. Overall just a great time!

    We enjoyed dining at the Blue Pig..our server Laura was outstanding! Friendly & attentive..we quizzed her on an Old Fashioned Cocktail which we were dying to try..after bringing it to our table she asked if we liked it & I said it was a little bitter.. she then offered to bring it to the bartender to sweeten it up a bit..it was delicious & now we are hooked on Old Fashioned thank you to Laura!

    We always enjoy our stay at a Cape Resorts property. The Blue Pig is so warm, cozy and inviting. Our server, Laura, also exudes that same warmth and hospitality. She is a true asset to your team and a ray of sunshine in the dining room. Thank you for another great experience.

    A flawless meal. Laura, our server, was friendly, courteous and attentive. Luis and Andy assisted during the meal and were most courteous as well. Food was expertly prepared and presented, and each course was fresh and flavorful. A wonderful experience in a warm and inviting space. Looking forward to returning again soon. This restaurant never disappoints.

    Ordered a chicken pot pie. It had no chicken in it. Waiter said sometimes that happens. Got a full refund on my meal. Not returning.

    Table booked over a week ago and noted it was a special occasion We were seated at a terrible spot in a walkway so we asked for a table in the dining room but told we had to sit at the one for two people. We ordered and 50 minutes later our food arrived mostly cold. What a disappointment! More food was offered to be served but who wants to wait even longer. Very disappointing especially when this has been good in the past. Could have been just a bad night for them. Too bad they ruined a birthday celebration for us

    Two of us had a wonderful brunch on a Saturday morning. The menu has a wide variety of breakfast options. The food was delicious and the service was great.

    My favorite breakfast in Cape May! The decor reflects the history and the food is amazing. Enjoying the lobby is recommended and explore the shop if you love piggies!
