    Seafood platter
    Thien B.

    Open during the summertime Deary Bros Mike's Stand serves many different seafood and American options. They have sandwiches, lobster rolls, fried seafood, as well as ice cream. They have an open picnic seating area. My favorite was the whole belly clam as well as the french fries. Everything with crispy and fried to perfection. I wish the portions were slightly bigger for the cost (the clams and shrimp, there were a lot of scallops however) but I understand that seafood market prices are going up every year. However, the food was very fresh, and I was able to share this entrée with my friend and still be content. My friend ordered ice cream as well and he really enjoyed it. He got the strawberry cheese cake ice cream and the girl who scooped the ice cream really loaded it up for him. Staff were friendly, polite, and welcoming. A lot of locals were walking in the area and it was a very relaxing/chill spot to stop by. Overall A for food quality and pricing, food portions B+.

    We love this place and visit when we are in town. We are usually not disappointed but the clam chowder on this trip was a bit watery. The staff is super nice. The seating areas are always clean!

    Clam cakes

    Ordered for pickup. Fish and chips and clam cakes. Fish was very good, 1 decent size piece, very small portions of fries and cole slaw, but good. Clam cakes were okay,small, not much clams but I've been spoiled with fresh ocean ones. Kind of pricey , but pretty much everywhere is. Fast friendly service.

    My friend and I recently had a visit to Deary Brothers Mike's Stand. We arrived at lunchtime on a Tuesday and it was still fairly quiet. They have a large menu selection and ice cream. The stand and grounds were very clean and the employees were very nice. We made our selections, my friend ordered a grill cheese, a cup of clam chowder and an ice cream soda. I ordered a cup of clam chowder and a dozen clam cakes along with a bottle of water. My order came to $15.21 We sat down at a table to wait for our orders and they called our number when it was ready. My clam cakes were cooked perfectly, except there wasn't very many clam pieces in them. I brought half home for my elderly mom and the first thing she said when she bit into one was "where's the clams"? The clam chowder was just average, if I was to guess I would say it was from a can. I wouldn't bother getting that again. Overall the food was pretty average...nothing bad, but nothing that wowed me enough to stop in again.

    What a cute little hidden gem! We stopped in for a lunch date in December. The drinks were…read moreexcellent and the food was great. The atmosphere is really cute. Highly recommend!

    This is a small eatery (I counted max 39 seats between tables and the bar) with difficult parking…read more I was able to get a spot right in front b because I went to lunch, but the parking lot has signs saying it is for employees of the wood shop next door, and no trespassing in the lot across the street, so I think street parking is the only option? Service is great, very attentive and friendly. The food is what earns this three stars. I tried a stuffie, German onion soup, a Farmhouse burger, and a key lime Mason jar. The stuffie was a little small, and most of the flavor was imparted by the ham and the squeeze of lemon. The German onion soup, I'm not sure why it was German except to not be French? Outside the name difference, the onions were way too large, and there was a total lack of flavor going on in the soup. The crock was very large too. The burger and fries looked pretty good, and I enjoyed the flavors here. The fries were rough hewn, so there was good crispness from all the edges. The toppings of the burger, and the bun, were also hearty. Unfortunately, my medium rare burger was more like raw meat with surface browning. I'm a big fan of rare steak, but ground beef needs a little more cooking. Also, the house made ketchup is really more of a marinara sauce. If I'd ended up eating more of my plate before they took it away to re-fire the burger, I would have asked to replace the ketchup. The key lime Mason jar was e everything you want to wrap up a meal. Great flavor, lightness, citrus. I did have to bring most of it home but, unlike the burger they brought back in a box, I'm excited to get back into the key lime. From an accessibility stand point, there is no ramp to get in nor handicap parking, so the evidently don't want your business. Once you're in, there are some seats you could get in, but if this place were full it would be difficult to navigate for anyone. The bathroom is a single room, but very spacious and nice. So, mixed bag for access. Your mileage may vary, but I'm not racing to return.

The bench seating was very comfortable, though some of the tabletops were pretty tall and all wood, so maybe not the easiest to sit at for a while. The restaurant has an extensive menu, but when I saw the pitmaster section I knew I had to try some of that. As an appetizer there were potato skins with pulled pork. Wow, these are not the wizened, come from a frozen box, potato skins. These were large, brimming with flavor and cheese. From the pit was brisket and ribs. Each came with corn bread, one with fries, the other with mac and cheese. Corn bread, so good, nice grainy texture, not a baked sugar slurry like you can find elsewhere, up here in the north. The brisket is super tender, doesn't need much sauce because it's packing all that natural and smoke flavor. The ribs are not dainty. You're going to be getting in here with your hands, like proper ribs eating. I'm so unused to that, and it resulted in me bringing half the rack home because a half rack was so filling. The edges of the ribs were dry, but all the interior was pull apart tender and delectable. Again, only needing a touch of their homemade sauce. The fries were robust but still crispy and seasoned well. The mac was the only miss for me. Too toothsome and not much flavor. Because they also do wood fired pizza, I got a cheese with ricotta to go. I'm not sure I ever need their pizza again. The crust was thin but not very crispy except on the cornicione, which had a lot of herbs sprinkled on it. The sauce disappeared, flavor wise, and so did the cheese blend. Side notes - I know everything has gotten crazy expensive, but the prices here took me aback. $16 for three pieces of bacon? Also, the 10% military discount was only applied to my ribs, but nothing else, so I'm happy they have one but it may only be applied to your food and non alcoholic drinks on Tuesdays and Fridays during their specific windows.

There wasn't anything fancy about them but they felt nostalgic (and very cheesy!).

With good reviews and a cool menu we dropped in and couldn't have been happier! We were pretty lucky as it was not that busy and we were able to get a table right away. The decor is eclectic and interesting. The staff came with a great smile and even better attitude; absolutely top notch! We started w the pretzels and beer cheese. Holy 6 pound baby Jesus they were good. They came out piping hot and the cheese was in a bubbling side dish. This isn't your typical dab of cheese in a plastic condiment container that is commonplace nowadays. I had the Arturo Sandoval (spin on a Cuban) as my entree and it was also fabulous and came out hot. If I was being critical, the pork was a wee bit dry, but that happens sometimes and it really didn't take away from the sando. Even the small side of pasta salad was outstanding. I'm lucky if I eat sides like that 1/100 times and this one I couldn't wait to finish. Great vibe, great staff, great food, and live music almost every day. Definitely gonna go back and if it's just as good will update to 5 stars.
