Lucky Bones Backwater Grille

This was the best gluten free burger I've ever had. Gluten free buns aren't normally very good but this was amazing. My wife got one of their salmon entrees and loved it as well. We got in faster than we thought and our server was attentive and friendly.

My recent dining experience at Lucky Bones in Cape May, NJ, was nothing short of extraordinary and has solidified its place as my favorite restaurant at the Shore. From the moment we walked in, the staff's accommodating nature was immediately apparent, setting the stage for a truly exceptional meal. We did a nice dinner for my mother's birthday, but this can be difficult because she is gluten and dairy free, and she absolutely loved it!! What truly set Lucky Bones apart was their unparalleled ability to handle complex dietary restrictions. Our table included individuals with gluten, dairy, and shellfish allergies, a combination that often presents a challenge for many restaurants. However, the team at Lucky Bones navigated these with impressive expertise and genuine care. They made us feel completely at ease, confident that our meals would be prepared safely and deliciously. They even use orange napkins and plates to clearly identify those with allergies, showing how seriously they take these concerns. And delicious they were! The food portions were incredibly generous, and the flavors were simply outstanding. As someone who is gluten-free, I was absolutely thrilled with the seafood pasta and the crab cakes – they were both phenomenal, showcasing fresh ingredients and masterful preparation. Everyone else at the table raved about their dishes as well. The prime rib, in particular, was huge and perfectly cooked, a true testament to the kitchen's skill. My brother, who rarely ventures into seafood, even devoured his tuna, declaring it "great" and finishing nearly every bite. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was impeccable. Our waitress, Brittany, was incredibly kind and helpful, checking in frequently without being intrusive, ensuring all our needs were met. Her attentiveness and genuine desire to make our experience perfect truly enhanced the evening. It wasn't just Brittany, though. The staff out by the shack were also great and incredibly helpful, and even the staff I casually bumped into inside were super kind and nice. This consistent level of warmth and professionalism from every single team member truly made the visit stand out. In a world where dining out with dietary restrictions can often be a source of stress, Lucky Bones is a true gem. Add in the amazing service, the wonderfully large food portions, and the fantastic flavors, and you have a recipe for an unforgettable meal. I cannot recommend Lucky Bones highly enough, especially to anyone navigating gluten-free or other allergies. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a truly accommodating and delightful dining experience.

If you need gluten free food, they have an extensive menu. They're gluten free crab/shrimp cakes were the reason we make a 2 hour drive to eat there.
