We have always loved Cape May's seafood buffet. We dined here March 3, 2013, as part of an early wedding anniversary (41 years, 33 0f them going to WDW). They really need to learn to steam clams. These came out the size of chewy nickles, much worse than in the past. Missed the deep fried shrimp on Saturday night; they had fried clam strips instead. The mussels were good, as were the crab legs, beef and veggies. Really enjoyed the seafood chowder - had two bowls. Service rather slow, but not outrageously so. Someone kept the dirty dishes away. Will go back.

My friend and I dined here on the std dining plan on 01/25/13. We were able to get in earlier than our reservation time, which was very convenient and accommodating. We loved the crab legs, corn bread, shrimp, pasta, and desserts (Boston creme cake, cheese cake), among others. Our waitress was attentive, and we were happy to have this be our last dining experience before ending our vacation.
Pros:
delicious foodCons:

We ate several sit down meals during our recent visit and this was the best meal we had the entire trip. There is a lot to choose from even for those that don't care for seafood. The food was hot and fresh. We didn't feel rushed and our waitress was fantastic. It will become a must do for our family in the future.
Pros:
Great food, lots of choicesCons:

The service is great...you are never rushed to eat. The seafood is perfectly cooked, and delicious. Crab legs, mussels, shrimp cooked steamed to perfection! Meat was tender, chicken was delicious...and the DESSERTS were amazing!!! It's a bit expensive about $40+ per person, but worth every penny! Best seafood buffet at Walt Disney World! We go every visit...this was our 12th visit to the Cape May Clam Bake!!! You will not be disappointed!!!!
Pros:
the buffet is delicious; lots of great seafood and dessertsCons:

Have been coming to CapeMay dinner buffet for many years. Just came out of the new non buffet dinner with the worst experience ever. All of the 5 courses were thrown on the table together within 3 minutes so essentially we were eating all of our food cold. The lobster Mac n cheese did not have.a shred of lobster to be seen. When you wanted more of anything it was simply added to your table. Nothing was ever cleared away nor did we ever get another clean plate. Very unappertizing. We complained about needing our table cleared and the servers did not have a good attitude as though this is the way it is. I asked to speak to a manager who listened to my suggestions to improve service and she didn’t comment but said I will pass this on. Only when I said I would not be returning again unless things were improved did she say sorry to hear that. Please consider all these suggestions to assure a truly wonderful Disney experience as we all come to expected from Disney World. FYI we have been visiting Disney Orld for the past 48 years and are DVC members since 1999.

We ate here during 2019 fall trip. The atmosphere was not very inviting, the food was okay, but definitely not worth the cost. The service was outstanding—just great. We would say that if you can’t find a resi somewhere close by and you need to eat at the resort, this is a good choice. It’s certainly. Not a destination restaurant, in our opinions. We also visited Martha’s Vineyard, and again, service was great. But the ambiance was pretty awful...
Pros:
As seafood buffets go, it was okay. Service was superb.Cons:
Price too high for the value of the food and overall experience. Atmosphere was lacking.Reviewed by vandort Review Date: 09/13/2015

We always eat at Cape May because we love seafood and we have also had great service. We did enjoy eating our dinner, but we were ill afterwards. My DD, who doesn't eat seafood, was fine. Honestly, I am really disappointed. I expect to pay more for a Disney experience, but I expect the experience to also be better than other non-Disney locations. I know that seafood needs to managed carefully to stay good, but this restaurant can definitely do better.
Pros:
Great selection and atmosphereCons:

I struggled on whether to choose yes or no as to whether or not I would recommend Cape May. On the one hand, there wasn't really anything WRONG with it. The food was perfectly adequate. I especially enjoyed the clams and the chowder. The kid's section was also good. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is practically non-existent. It was a basic restaurant not dissimilar to Golden Corral or any other family-style buffet you can eat at in your hometown. Because of that, I was disappointed. I am used to more from Disney. I wouldn't dine here again just because there are so many other options that offer more.
