George’s Place on Beach Avenue in Cape May has been a Greek-American breakfast and lunch institution in one of New Jersey’s most beloved shore towns since it opened, serving house-made Greek and American diner food to the beach community and the visitors who make Cape May one of the most-visited destinations on the Jersey Shore. It appeared in Season 10, Episode 10 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “A Triple D Thanksgiving,” which aired November 15, 2010. Guy Fieri found a Cape May kitchen doing Greek home cooking from scratch — spanakopita, moussaka, and the full Greek diner catalog — in a setting that earns its loyal following across all four seasons, not just summer.

What to Eat
The Spanakopita — spinach and feta in flaky phyllo — is the Greek appetizer that sets the tone for the meal. The Greek Omelette with feta, olives, tomato, and onion is the breakfast order most regulars build their Cape May mornings around. The Moussaka, layered eggplant and spiced lamb with béchamel, is the lunch centerpiece worth ordering when it’s on the daily menu. The French Toast and Pancakes cover the American diner side of the breakfast menu for those at the table who haven’t discovered the Greek options yet. The Greek Salad with house dressing is the lunch starter that earns its own following. Find a Cape May hotel on Trivago.
