Simply THE best food in Cape May! Each dish is perfectly prepared with fresh, local ingredients and quite simply delicious! Every bite is melt -in-your-mouth flavor. House made breads and in house desserts as well. We had Sea Bass and Grouper entrees. Stunning. And the tiramisu is to die for! Hits in every single flavor note. ❤️

The food at Backstreet Simply Delicious was, well, simply delicious! Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor and made with obvious care and attention to detail. The menu offered a variety of options, from classic comfort food to creative culinary delights, catering to a range of tastes and preferences.

Had been wanting to go here for a long time and was not disappointed. Food was excellent! Everything we had was delicious: bread, appetizers, main course and dessert. Staff friendly and polite. Looking forward to going back again.

BYO style local restaurant in Cape May. Great food, no tourists (except us). Loved the crab cakes, and the Yams were dynamite! Order the cobblers early, they were great.

Backstreets is super small and definitely off the beaten path, in a shopping center far away from the beach at Cape May. And the food is unpretentious and seemingly simple, but WOW is it ever good. We’ve enjoyed every meal we’ve had here; most recently the blackened grouper over sweet potato special, topped with mango puree and sweet cream drizzle, was amazing; my dining partner had chicken franciase, and we both cleaned our plates. The staff is so friendly and welcoming; this place is a real gem.

I was recommended by my good friend to try Backstreet for dinner and I was not disappointed! The food was delicious (my favorite was the pan fried tomatoes). The staff were warm, friendly, and professional. I enjoyed the ambiance as well, it was a small place which makes it feel more cozy. Will definitely be going back this month after the tourist crowds dissipate.

Fantastic Food !! The owners came out to greet us to make sure we were well taken care of. The peach cobbler is fantastic and they have a banana foster dessert to die for. The grouper I had was one of the best I have ever had. Not a bad word to say of this place. Staff is polite and make sure you find your experience a positive one. Thanks!!

My friend Joe told me to check out his family’s restaurant while I was vacationing in Cape May and I am so happy I did. Food was amazing. And best crab cakes I’ve ever had! Homemade bread was so yummy that I took some to the beach with me the next day. But shortly after taking this photo, a seagull swiped a piece out of my hand lol. Sea gull approved! Can’t wait to come back next time we are at the Jersey Shore! Highly recommend
