My wife and I were driving down Route 9 towards Wildwood and we could not decide where to eat lunch. I remembered that in the Center of Town in Cape May Court House a new restaurant had opened recently. J-Ottons, located at 16 S. Main Street opened in December of 2006.

As we entered, the restaurant that holds around 40 persons in the winter, but also offers outside dining in the summer,we noticed it was almost filled to capacity. We were pleased to see this because that usually means the food is good. The lunch menu had a variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches that were reasonably priced. I tried the soup of the day which was a buffalo chicken soup. I had never seen buffalo chicken as a soup option, but it was spicy and tasty as I had hoped. For my entree I had the Prime Rib sandwich which came with Potato Chips and Cole Slaw. I was given a horseradish sauce and Au Ju for dipping. The prime rib came on a grilled Cibatta roll, and the taste was very good. The size of the sandwich was more than enough and chips were piled high on the plate.

My wife chose the Tropical Delight Salad, which consisted of a mixed green salad, vegetables, a blend of seasonal fruits. toasted coconut, candied cashews, and a citrus Rasberry Vinaigrette. She also opted for the grilled chicken on top. Her salad, which was enough for two was wonderful. She enjoyed the combination of fruits and vegetables. The fruit was fresh and had great taste, and the rasberry vinaigrette blended well with everything. She ate half of the salad and brought half home.
J-Ottons in Cape May Courthouse received two thumbs up from us. We will be eating there again in the near future.

I recently encountered a sub shop located in Ocean City, Ventnor, Brigantine, and Absecon called Sak O Subs. A friend told me that the subs were very good, so I thought I would give it a try. My wife and I drove to Ocean City one evening during the cold front and decided to try their hot subs, so we decided to eat at the location at 926 Asbury Avenue.

I ordered the super cheese steak sub, and my wife ordered the chicken cheese steak. With a price of $6.50 and $5.50, I thought the prices were fair for the Jersey shore. I was very pleased with my sub, as was my wife. Usually, when I order a sub, the meat does not cover the roll and you feel like you are eating mostly bread. This sub was advertised as having over ½ pound of meat. It filled the roll and I tasted steak in every bite. The price of $6.50 was well worth the sub I had. I only ate about three quarters of it and took part of it home. The steak was not fatty and the fried onions and other condiments were plenty.

My wife’s chicken cheese steak was very tasteful and she also brought a piece home with her. The portions were very satisfying, and I would recommend Sak O Subs to all who come to visit the South Jersey Shore.
