My husand and I went for an early dinner and they had a $15 early bird special that I got. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth the $15 and my husband's chicken marsal was not worth $24. There was no part of the meal that we actually finished. I have thrown out asparagus fresher than the slimy soft asparagus that was served.... More

I visited Carney's last week with my parents; we were looking for an early casual dinner and Carney's fit the bill! We took advantage of the $15 early bird special and I am convinced you won't find a better deal anywhere else in Cape May. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed the flounder franchaise. I ordered... More

We were in Cape May during the off-season and the place was like a ghost town. We stumbled across Carney's while looking for a lunch place. We were glad that we stopped in. The service was friendly, efficient, and quick. The nachos were tasty but the best part was my fish tacos. They were the most flavorful fish tacos I... More

The decor was a little on the downtrodden side...but the sandwich was good, and I was hungry. The waitress was a young woman who was very helpful. More

Located on Beach Avenue, among the stores, Carney's is a family friendly restaurant with a continental selection, but is mainly good for plain burgers or pub fare. The plus side to this establishment however, is that it offers live entertainment, which is a rarity with dinner these days. More
