The
Magnolia
Room
AT T H E C H A L F O N T E H O T E L
Dining in the nationally acclaimed Magnolia room is an
experience in traditional southern fare. Featuring Dot
and Lucille’s famous fried chicken, crab cakes, yeast risen
rolls, corn pudding, spoon bread and delicious desserts,
our three-course price-fixe menu is one of the best values
in town! The Magnolia room also offers daily grilled fish
specials and vegetarian options, a morning breakfast buffet and Sunday dinner buffet. Our veranda on a summer
evening is the outstanding dinner location in Cape May.
Large parties love us and we love them! Many restaurants
avoid settings over six, but we are happy to accommodate
your crowd of out-of-town guests, the birthday celebration or the extended family group.

Acclaimed for her skill as well as her spirit, the late Miss
Helen Dickerson presided over the Magnolia Room
kitchen for more than 60 years, serving “soul food with
it’s Sunday clothes on.”
Her Southern fried chicken was featured on the Food
Network show Tyler’s Ultimate and The Phil Donahue
Show. Today her tradition of culinary excellence lives on
in her daughters Lucille Tompson and Dot Burton who
have continued to create their mother’s recipes for the enjoyment of our restaurant patrons for the last 50 years.
