★★★★☆ 4.0 Jason Wells · Dec 2025

Lucks was great! I had Ceaser Salad and chili. My son had the Philly cheesesteak pizza and my wife had the black bean soup. My wife I'd a vegetarian and I'll be honest, the black bean soup was the best food of the night (i thought the chili was gonna win and didn't get a pic - oops!)! As a side note, they have Hank Sauce (infused herbs) and i am now a fan. Not super spicy but great flavor! One last more thought. Lucky's is really well maintained. I'm always freaked out if a restaurant is dirty. Anyone can wiper a table but if the rafters are dirty ... ugghhh! Lucky's was well maintained and the service was great!

VERY busy place! Decent wine selection. Fun drinks menu. Jenni was AWESOME! Incredibly nice and prompt with everything! Table bussers were also super efficient! That bread that they serve is out of this world! I tried the soup of the day which was split pea. It was very good. I also had the fish and chips. I loved the batter! The place was packed. I highly suggest reservations. Will definitely return.

We had went for a ride down the the shore! We google seafood near me! Cape May popped up! We found this wonderful cozy restaurant right over the Cape May Bridge to the left! We received a warm welcome from the hostess, we had a comfortable booth near the fireplace! Our waitress was Tay, I think she was extremely helpful with our menu choices. She was friendly attentive and on point with extra napkins, drink refills ect! It was Oyster Wednesday! The warm brioche bread and olive oil dipping sauce was excellent! There was so much on the menu we wanted to try! We had 3 appy’s mussels marinara steamed clam’s in a buttery broth, colossal u peel Shrimp hubby had manhattan clam chowder (loaded with clams) we had the fried oysters & steak medallions! The home made french fries where tasty & co

Tayrn was amazing ! We are visiting from out of town and had the best experience. The food is amazing. I have a very sensitive gluten celiac disease. They have a whole separate menu and bring out an orange napkin so everyone knows. Then you get your food on a separate orange plate. It’s so nice to be able to be safe and still have food that doesn’t compromise on taste. I wish places where I live did this. The pizza was gluten free and the flavor was amazing. The crust is perfect. So many amazing options. Huge wine menu. Fresh clams. It was great. Be sure to go for sure !

Our first time eating at Lucky Bones.....we always take the ride down to the Lobster House Restaurant..... One of the best burgers I've ever eaten.....My Wife ordered the mussels over linguine....Big portions..... Fireplace was keeping things warm inside while we were there.... Very good service.... Friendly staff when you first go in... and leaving after eating.... We're already planning on going back in a few weeks.....
