Known For

Garden patio brunch with light that makes every plate look good

Lucky Bones Backwater Grille pulls off outdoor seating and garden vibes better than almost anywhere in Cape May, with a bright & airy patio that makes brunch feel like an event. Bring a camera — the great-for-photos corners are everywhere.

🕐Best time to visit: Sunday morning before noon when the patio fills up

Our Take

Lucky Bones Backwater Grille has outdoor seating and a garden-forward setting that makes brunch feel unhurried, and nearly 3,600 reviews confirm the food holds up its end of the deal. It's a dependable standout that stops just short of destination-worthy — more beloved local anchor than once-in-a-trip experience.
