We've never eaten there, but are considering making a PS for our trip in November. What do you think about the selection and quality of the food? Would this be a good choice?

Oh, we have previously eaten at Boma (breakfast and dinner - YUM -, 1900 Park Fare dinner, and Chef Mickey's). We will make a PS for Boma for breakfast, and want to choose one dinner buffet.

For those who have been to both, which is better: Cape May or 1900 Park Fare?

Thanks in advance!

We recently visited the Cape May Cafe for breakfast and dinner. The food quality was quite good, and if you crave unlimited steamed clams and mussels, it's the only show on property. (Tip: Ladle some clam broth over your bucket of steamed clams, it makes them far more flavorful.) However, the salad bar and non-seafood items, while nicely prepared, aren't all that special. The offerings at 1900 Park Fare are more distinctive (strawberry soup, yum!). However, Boma still gets my vote for best buffet on property.

Hmm...maybe we should stick with 1900 Park Fare. We're from south Louisiana, and are used to a different kind of seafood - never had clams or mussels. Do they have boiled crawfish at Cape May [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] !

Thanks, Dave. We love our Passporter, by the way. We're anxiously awaiting our 2002 copy!

I went once to the Cape May cafe and LOVED it, I am not a big seafood eater and was still full and loved all the other food. They have excellent Steak Tips and an awesome salad bar..well worth the trip. It's also great if you have children, you can draw on the table cloths. They even have a children's sized buffett section. I actually ate the chicken fingers from there and I was about 27 years old at the time. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I highly recommend it [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I've eaten at both 1900 Park Fare and Cape May Cafe's dinner buffets. I liked both, but Cape May gets my vote as favorite. It doesn't have as many items as 1900, but we just enjoyed it better. And it is definitely better than Chef Mickey's.

If you've already eaten at 1900 Park Fare, I would go with something different: try Cape May! Although Boma is good too!

Cape May gets my vote over 1900, and I am not even a big seafood eater. You won't go hungry, but you just have to save room for the desserts. Its hard but I force myself. LOL [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

I can't really be fair, since I've never been at 1900 Park Fare, but we love Cape May and try to go there everytime we are at the world. Lots of stuff beside seafood, including some pretty awesome ribs the last trip down. Also "kid friendly" stuff like mac and cheese in the kids section that they'll let the adults eat, too! [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] (DH could live on Mac and Cheese, lol). It kept my two teenagers happy, also, so if you are travelling with kids, this is a pleaser!

Can only tell you that Cape May is a super buffet! Great desserts and our kids loved it. It also has a great path to the Boardwalk to walk off your dinner. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I like the idea of the quick walk to the Boardwalk; none of us are big seafood eaters(shrimp and crab cakes are OK), so would we like the Cape May Buffet? If the place smells "fishy", the kids will not be a bit happy (won't thrill me either!).Tell me more, please... [img]graemlins/ears.gif[/img]

Stonewall,

I don't remember it being particularly "fishy", and there are lots of non-seafood choices. If you like shrimp, they have the peel and eat kind by the bucket full. They also have a great salad bar, ribs, sirloin tips, chicken and side dishes. They have a wonderfull dessert bar, too. If you are concerned about the seafood, try a character breakfast there. Tons of choices, buffet style, and Goofy, Chip, Dale and sometimes Minnie. When we were there last May for breakfast, it was not really crowded, so there was alot of character interaction.

Can you tell I love this place?? [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
