    Yes, yes Captains favorite ride. Not because of the scenery on the way but because he knows the stuffed quahog is the best on the cape. I'm not a huge fan of the stuffed critters but I do adore their steak tips. Everyone is super colorful and friendly. After cruising by several times this summer he thought maybe we wouldn't see them open this season if ever at all. They are working on a limited menu and to be fair we did not order food this time. Stay tuned..... we'll be back!

    One of my favorite dive bars when crossing the Sagamore bridge to the Cape! I'm never 'officially' on the Cape until I have a beer sitting at the bar. Sadly their wonderful Brazilian chef has departed for another career.

    I love a good dive bar. Where else on earth can you find real people? This place is awesome with great pricing. I came in for a job interview and a pizza. The crowd was lively and fun. I will be back to hang out again.

    This place rules. We were looking for a liquor store when we saw the neon beer signs and pulled in... realizing it wasn't a store we headed back up onto the main road. My co-pilot screamed "juke box!" We immediately popped it into reverse and parked. When we walked in the place was empty, all except the nice lady tending the bar & a man who was working between the bar and the kitchen. Both were pleasant and welcoming! This place has all the essentials: juke box that plays 4 songs for $1 (seemingly unheard of these days), bathrooms, bumper pool, a bar full of booze for mixed drinks, a variety of bottled brews and food! All drinks were decently priced and service was fast! We played sweet jams & bumper pool all night, the staff didn't mind our singing & seemed happy to have us. We are so glad we stumbled across this gem! We will definitely swing by there any time we are in the area.

    Looks like a local favorite. Just a bit to loud for my old man personally. I got the fish and chips. It was excellent.

    Update: Apparently the great chef no longer works here so her amazing specials are not an option.

    My wife and kids were super hungry and we were in heavy traffic from everyone going off Cape on a Sunday.
