We stopped by on a lark and was blown away. Best Portuguese soup ever... balanced, clean and all the right flavors. The home made chicken broth as a base to the linguica, bean, and kale totally makes it. We split a Rueben and it was one of the best in our long lives. Bread was toasted and the interior was broiled. Yes, I know some grill it, but it was nice not to have to have the exterior too oily. Like the soup, the balance between the ingredients were really considerate and perfect. The sauerkraut was fresh and crunchy. When we ate the pickle, we looked at each other because it was so fresh tasting, not overly vinegary or salty, a really pleasant cucumber experience. We took home a creamy lemon cheesecake type square, and again, balanced is the word. Not cloyingly sweet, but light and such a pleasure to eat. This really was a find off the beaten path. If for not staying at the Autocamp down the road, I would have never discovered it, even with the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives connection. By the way, Art (husband and co-owner) was a pleasure to nerd out with about all of the ingredients and techniques. read more

Love, love, love Dana's Kitchen. I got a wonderful goat cheese, fig, spinach salad with pistachios, pickled radishes - a true delight of textures. My better half had a wonderful salmon and bagel medley. Enjoyed a beautiful lunch on a shaded deck. One of our favorite spots in Falmouth before or after a hike at The Knob. We'll be back hoping they have the soft shell crab sandwiches. read more

The food was definitely fresh but it took forever to come out and was definitely overpriced and it was not mind-blowingly good to justify all that unfortunately. There is a cute outdoor area to sit, self-service. read more

Wow! We had driven by Dana's a couple of times but never at the right time to stop for a meal. Today was different. I do have to agree with some others that the wait was a little long but it was well worth it. Everything was so fresh and delicious and the portions were huge. We had the falafel wrap which was one of the best we have ever had, and the smoked blue fish Greek salad. The blue fish was amazing and the salad full of fresh delicious vegetables. Their home made cole slaw, dill pickles and chocolate chip cookies were also just great. Next time we are driving by we will stop no matter what time it is because we can always just got for the cookie or other baked good. Everything looked so good! read more

Dana catered something I went to and the hors doevers [sp] and the company was very nice. I was more than tolerated at a busy time in the kitchen. read more

What a find! This place is charming, and the food is beyond delicious. So many different options and everything is served with a smile. Our first time there, it is an hour away, but we will be back! Good thing we don't live closer, or we would be there every day! Highly recommend. read more

This cafe is a quaint little gem down a back country road. I got soup and a biscuit which was fantastic.

I've always wanted to go here on our trips to the cape, we finally went and will never go again. The prices are exceptionally high, $18 for a sandwich without any sides, and the service is incredibly slow. For a counter service I would not have expected over 30 minutes for 3 sandwiches. read more

Dana and her husband have been running such a top-notch store for for muffin sandwiches and anything else you want. They work long hours they produce a perfect Prada thank you, Dana. read more

Came in an hour before closing and was rudely turned away. Disrespectful staff. There was no reason to do that and we were very kind. Prices were outrageous for what seemed like bad food anyways. Don't recommend for your family. read more

Dana's Kitchen is famous for its appearance on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives", and its fame is well-deserved. Its Portuguese kale soup got highlighted- https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/portuguese-kale-soup-3083302 Sadly, while Dana's no longer has outdoor dining on its patio and front porch, people did dine out by its parking lot. They make their curbside pickup an easy process. The number is posted on a chalkboard beside the door. Be sure to ask about specials seen on the online menu. The service is friendly. They were busy, with tons of folks coming to get takeout. I got some iced Speedwell coffee out of Plymouth (the Speedwell was the Pilgrims' other ship) and their Maryland crab cake/kimchi wrap. The wrap was delicious, nutritious, teeming with veggies, and the crab cakes were on point. Lunch cost about $20, and the DDD "pilgrimage" was worth it. read more

Best Reuben ever! The kind of sandwich you dream of on a cold gray Cape Cod day. Perfection. The food is also consistently good. Everything ordered - from apps to desserts - were delicious. The owners are super sweet, great service, cute spot and can't wait to go back. A little gem of a place. read more

A couple of characters, Dana and Art, lovingly prepare your food. Anyone comparing this to Panera are f*&@ing clueless. Good things take a little time to prepare. Reuben was outstanding and delivered on artisanal rye bread. Wraps and poke bowls both winners. A mutual lifelong friend sent us and was well worth the visit! read more

Out of town visitor on last day, tried calling no answer, visited website and all indications the restaurant was open. Arrived to no one in the parking lot, walked up to patio and not approached by anyone for 5 minutes 2 hours before closing. Staff is unhelpful, Dana is rude. The food might be good, but service is awful. Spend your money somewhere else. Poor service will put this restaurant out of business. read more

This place is awful they don't make any of their food. Your eating all packaged food. You may think Dana makes her baked goods because of how good they are, but no they are packaged as well. She is awful to her workers. They charge way to much for their food and they don't even make any of it their selves. read more

Dont give them your money- go to panera instead. Owner was extremely rude and the restaurant took an hour to make 2 turkey club sandwiches. They were complaining that "no tomato" is considered too hard and changing the sandwich too much. They were moping around in the kitchen and serving people that came in after me. Really was hoping to support small businesses during covid, but they have kinda ruined that for me along with cape cod bagel. Will definitely not being going back with such awful customer service read more

We went here on Guy Fieri's recommendation and were extremely pleased! We had a chicken avocado wrap, a Ruben, and a spicy BLT. Everything was very fresh and so incredibly delicious! Dana and her team were very polite and courteous. I only snapped a pic of my BLT because everyone else had already devoured theirs. It also has outdoor eating which is always desired in our family. I highly recommend this place! read more

Dana's Kitchen - Spicy BLT! - Delis Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

Have visited a few times now for both morning coffee and croissants as well as lunch. The baked goods are tasty if a bit overpriced. But the sandwiches are very fine and reasonable for what you get: the Reuben is particularly outstanding, with an inch each of corned beef and Swiss. Tuna melt was also great. It's a nice space inside, and the outdoor deck (covered and not) is comfortable when the weather warms and the deck comes into regular use. Proprietors are friendly, eager to please, and seem to be partial to saxy jazz ala Getz, Coltrane, Hawkins. A few drawbacks: no espresso drinks, no refills on iced tea, and they close pretty early some afternoons (~2pm). Also closed Tuesdays. read more

We probably visited Dana's Kitchen nearly a dozen times, trying all sorts of menu items. Highly recommend - such a treat. SERVICE. The Summer of COVID isolation - we restricted everything to take out. Called ahead to order and service was consistently friendly & accurate. I thought the team was also accommodating and willing to handle adjustments when needed to menu items. I gave tips for every order because of the excellent service. In the spirit of continuous improvement: the young employees answering the phone rarely had knowledge of the menu - they often did not know some basics (great example: no idea if there was a choice of bagel, and there was). Not sharing this as a complaint but rather coaching for them. FOOD. Fresh, high-quality, ample portion sizes, and wonderful variety on menu. We particulary loved: Spinach Salad with Chicken & Sesame Noodles, Narragansett Bluefish Wrap with Horseradish, Dana's Club, in-season Soft Shell Crab Sandwich on Challah, Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad. One time must have been slower, I got to meet Art!!! He couldn't have been friendlier & really made me even happier to support this business. I think this is a jewel within Famouth. read more

We were at a family event last week in West Falmouth, MA. Dana's catered three major meals. The were all well prepared , delicious, and the quantity and quality were exceptional. If you're in their service area, I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Diverse menu - hard to choose as it all sounded good. We had the famous soft shell crab sandwiches and they were delicious. Picked up a chocolate chunk & peanut butter with baked Reese's cookies. Dana was very friendly and helpful. Even made sure we had directions to ferry. read more

This is an awesome spot, a true gem off the beaten path and well worth the effort to find it! Food is super fresh, made to order and the care shows through in the flavor! Highest recommendation! read more

Food was awesome and the service doesn't get any better! So thrilled to have found this hidden gem on the Cape-! Will be back soon! read more

Dana's Kitchen - Soft shell sandwich and Greek salad! Delicious! - Delis Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

Stopped for lunch on our way to the beach. We both had the fish sandwich. It was fish, that was broiled, on challah bread. It was the best fish sandwich I've ever eaten. Cooked just right and now oily, with just a light breading. Highly recommend! The price was reasonable and service was fast and friendly. Look forward to coming back! read more

Terrible customer service from owner!! Pulled up and we were the only car in the lot no signage out front that is phone order only and no phone number in sight when walking to the door. Though we were nicely told by a cashier that she could take our order when ready. Once we were about to order the owner came to the screen door with attitude and demanded that it is much easier to just order over the phone and spat the number out quicker than I could type and walked away. Tried calling no answer from counter that was visible from outside. Needless to say we never ended up placing our order don't waste your time. read more

We had a GREAT lunch at Dana's Kitchen this weekend. The owner was very helpful and friendly and talked us through the menu and how everything could be made to order. The falafel wrap (vegan) was fresh and hearty with lots of vegetable fillings and not too much wrap, very good hummus and delicious homemade pickles on the side. The PB cup cookie is "to die for" my mother says. The spicy BLT had pepper jack cheese and avocado which was a great touch. Very interesting menu with something for everyone. Outdoor seating was wonderfully relaxing - going to Dana's Kitchen feels like you are being invited into their home. Service was lovely. Definitely would recommend! read more

Best sandwiches in the area. Great fillings. Excellent t breads. Wonderful selection. Nice people and good service. Love this place!!!

Hands down my favorite sandwich shop - in any city, ever! There is a standard menu, which is always good, but the really amazing sandwiches always fall on the specials menu. Try the falafel, it's quite good. The crabcake sandwich is amazing. And any other option you want to try will also be phenomenal. The sweets are always good and the cookies are particular hard to get away from. The coffee is great and there are always a couple of options if you don't want a standard cup of joe. The place has indoor and outdoor seating (depending on the weather) and they always have the food network on (which just makes me smile). The owner is fabulous and unbelievably sweet and friendly everytime I go in there. He always makes my mother laugh and that means the world in my book! read more

This place typifies my opinion of Falmouth: over-priced and underwhelming. Service was very slow, I think partially because of the strange system where you order at the register and seat yourself with a playing card associated with your order. A bunch of very timid teenagers wander inside and out trying to find the right table. For a casual dining establishment, it took nearly half an hour to have our food served. My gazpacho was unpleasantly vinegary, and my veggie roll-up fell apart instantly exposing an interior of wilted lettuce. All in all, everyone in my family was pretty unhappy with their choices except for my sister who ordered a salad with goat cheese, cranberries, and walnuts. The baked items were far more impressive than their deli options. The Challah was a tasty surprise. MmmMmm. read more

Always welcoming, Dana's Kitchen is a must for any lovers of delicious and healthy food. Our absolute favorite restaurant for many miles around; our frequently chosen dishes include the chicken and walnut salad, the smoked salmon on toast, the crab cakes, ... and many more. Great to share with friends and family. read more

Looking for a place for lunch? Look no further. On our way home from the Cape, it was an easy hop of the highway for this cozy spot with outside seating. My wife and I ordered the Haddock Chowder, which we both split. Next time though, I get my own bowl! This luscious chowder was crowded with beautiful sweet haddock swimming in a perfectly seasoned base served at just the right temperature. It just couldn't get any better...or could it? It did. Next, on our order was their classic Fish Sandwich. What can I say other than it was off the hook! Tender fillet, fresh greens, tangy but not over powering tarter sauce, an absolute 10. Home run, outta the park! read more

Cozy spot, but high prices and very poor customer service. Treated rudely by cashier for requesting a custom sandwich (turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato) and inquiring about bread/salad dressing options. read more

You can sit outside and enjoy the window boxes and off the beaten path atmosphere, or inside and read a book while you are having a delish lunch .Pleasant owners and staff.Grateful they would accommodate making my falafel wrap into a salad. Besides the standard menu you never know what special Carmen and his wife might have . My fave cape lunch place to relax and just be for awhile. 6/28/19 read more

A great find! Their food tasted like a home cooked meal. Their serving is huge, me and my boyfriend split everything up and only paid $35. The owner is very friendly. read more

Fabulous, delicious and heaping portions. We sat outside in this quaint restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Rude, expensive, walked out. Miss Peach Tree. This place charges $14.00 for a tuna fish sandwich. Don't bother. All license plates in the parking lot were from out of state. Poor suckers read more

Dana's club sandwich may be the greatest sandwich in the world, but everything on the menu is excellent and done with marvelous attention to detail. The restaurant is small, but has outdoor seating when weather allows. Art and Dana are both chefs with serious training, but they put taste ahead of complexity or overdone creativity. Their food is always fresh, impeccably prepared and delicious. read more

I would say that 3 stars is pretty fair. Sandwiches are so-so, ambience is really nice, service is mediocre. Getting your order in is a weird mix of get it yourself and order at the register combined with a pay now, pay later type of deal. Some things are written on the wall and some are on the menu, seems not well thought out;I've been here several times and I've never really got the hang of it. Also the ordering area gets crowded / discombobulated and the clientele like to stand at the register and shoot the breeze with the staff about trivial things like "did you hear that Harry is allergic to mustard?". Who cares, move aside and lets keep the process (as strange as it is) keep going. Oh and its open in the morning but saying they "do breakfast" is an understatement. Let's just say they have some breaded goods available in the am. So-so with promise I would say. read more

As I was planning a visit to the Cape, I saw Dana's Kitchen and read many reviews for many sources and knew I needed to try. It was fabulous. The food was one of the most delicious ever. The ingredients are so fresh, the quality and quantity was great. If you want something fast and inexpensive, go to a fast food restaurant, but if you want something that will make your tastebuds beg for more, go to Dana's. read more

Wait time and price is not worth the visit. Three dollar cans of soda and an extra dollar to cut the sandwich in half to split. Will never return. read more
