The Country Club Tavern & Package Goods of Cape May Court House perfectly plays the role of neighborhood watering hole. Established in 1988, the tavern has undergone many changes throughout the past three decades, yet it has always maintained its casual, family-friendly saloon-style atmosphere. In its most recent renovation, CCT’s owners, the Buckingham and Casper families, decided to go for a rustic ambiance and purchased all décor from yard sales and thrift stores. Each hat, saddle, boot, and belt buckle adorning the restaurant’s interior has its own history and story. Local patrons also chipped in personal donations to the re-design effort. Each can point out his or her leather cowboy boots hanging above the bar or belt buckle on the wall next to one of the large wooden booths.
The Country Club Tavern has comfort food covered. Warm up with a bowl of CCT’s French onion soup and a glass of the coldest beer in the county. Or give CCT’s famous wings, fried ravioli, clam strips, or Buffalo shrimp a try. Anxious while waiting for your favorite comfort food delicacies? CCT has its very own tavern puzzles for puzzle-loving patrons to get to work on while dining. Up for a real “Man vs. Food” test? Try CCT’s Triple Decker Devil Burger Challenge. Finish all eight pounds in just 60 minutes and your burger is free. Plus, winners get a picture on CCT’s Wall of Fame and a free tee shirt.
