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. What truly set this restaurant apart was the genuine hospitality and personal touch.

Nice mom and Papa place. Food is very good and similar to your own home cooking. Not a big place, but it is comfortable once you sit down. We ordered fish and lamb chops. They were delicious and we will certainly come back next time.

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

This unassuming fine dining restaurant served course after course of delicious soup (crab and corn chowder), salad (warm Goat Cheese salad with house dressing) and entree (salmon and grouper - both were delicious). Service was attentive, friendly and thoughtful. Our server, Coleen pictured below, was helpful with recommendations. The cozy unassuming atmosphere, with BYOB (no corking fee), and comfortable seating rounded out the experience.

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!!

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.

Really enjoyable. Great food; really friendly professional servers. I think that the atmosphere is just fine; it's a small restaurant and a nice break from the bigger places. We'll be back in August.

Very friendly, different food selections that were very tasty I always look for off the main drag , local restaurants here I found one with excellent staff and food!
