    OE eggs, crispy potatoes, linguica, Italian sausage & ham.  Best rye bread!

    One of the best breakfasts anywhere! Perfectly cooked eggs! And service friendly and not overbearing!

    an omelet and potatoes on a plate
    Libby H.

    My sister and I decided to come here for brunch, and it's a nice mom and pop diner shop. You walk in and get to sit yourself. I built my own omelette which came with home fries and toast. Food was great, the home fries were so delicious! They take cash only but there's an ATM inside.

    Had the homemade corned beef, eggs, sourdough toast, home fries, and tried the lemon poppy and cranberry orange muffin grilled. The food, in short, was amazing and exactly what I look for in a diner. Kind people work here. Cash only, but there is an ATM on site. You walk inside and put your name on a list if there's a wait.

    Been coming here for years. Never again. Called this morning for takeout, got the message "welcome to Verizon Wireless, your call can not be completed as dialed, as the called party is busy." Tried several times over 30 minutes (and again just now as writing this review). So they have their phone off the hook. I drive over to order takeout in person, which I've done before. I walk in and here's the conversation I have with the manager: Me: Hi I'd like to order the Breakfast Melt (which is a really great breakfast sandwich) to go. Manager: Sorry we don't do takeout. Me: I'm confused. I've ordered takeout here for years. Manager: Sorry. Me: Well, I tried calling you several times and your phone isn't working. Since I drove all the way over here, do you think you could make an exception? Manager: No. Sorry. You know how sometimes people say "sorry" but you can tell they don't mean it? That. Note that here on Yelp, and on Google, and even *on their own website* it says they do takeout. As I walk out, the sign in the window says to call "to place your order." See photos. Place wasn't especially busy - no line - season on Cape ended last week. One breakfast sandwich was too much to ask. She made it clear she didn't need my business. Wish granted.

    Ham and cheese omelette

    We stumbled across Lighthouse Cafe on our walk this morning and left having experienced one of the best breakfasts ever. We walked in and sat at a blue checkered table right by the window and admired the homey and warm atmosphere. The service was impeccable - our waitress couldn't have been more friendly and attentive. The omelet was perfectly fluffy and satisfying with every bite, breakfast potatoes crispy and decadent, and sourdough bread ideally toasted and buttered. If you're looking for a classic diner with great food, kind people, and modest prices, I would absolutely recommend popping in to the Lighthouse Cafe.

    Tuna melt

    This is a local cafe that we stopped in for lunch while on the Cape. The menu appeared to offer many specials and we took advantage of two. My date had the tuna melt sandwich on marbled rye and a side of cole slaw. He often gets tuna melt and really liked this one. I had the 1/2 order of pot roast sandwich, only without bread and cole slaw on the side. The pot roast was such great comfort food and cooked to perfection. Sometimes pot roast can be tough but it was so tender. The place was decorated in a beachy theme and so cute.

    Great find on our way home from Harwichport wedding. Nothing fancy... Very good Would stop here again. Both our omelettes were great and the grilled bagels were delicious!!! Service was good.

    View from inside.

    Saw this on Yelp and thought it would be a great place for the family. Walked in and was immediately in love with the smell that entered my nose. We got our food really fast and the waitress was accommodating. The food and atmosphere reminded us of our hometown breakfast place as well as the delicious food! One of the best offerings we tried was the the homemade corn beef hash and home fries! Another detail to note would be the heartiness of the pancakes.

It's very cutesy inside and the bathrooms were clean. I got the Julian - it was scrambled eggs, bacon, white toast, and home fries. I also ordered a single pancake. I also had Diet Coke and a glass of milk. All of this came to about $30. The eggs were good and the toast was really nice. The bacon was a bit more fatty than I'm used to so it was a eh for me, but the home fries were delicious. They had such a good seasoning and spice to them that I was in heaven. The pancake was also solid. Not amazing, but good. The service was good. I do think it's weird that they just drop checks without asking if you want anything else or asking if you want the check. I would come back and give this place another try. I think you can rely on it being a good breakfast, but I might not wait more than 20 minutes if there was a wait.

    Welcome to the finest place to dine in the Mid Cape! The views over the Nantucket Sound are…read moreenticing enough to book a resi. Then when you add the fact that this family-owned restaurant has clearly prioritized quality food and service, The Ocean House is must go if you're on the Cape. I was lucky enough to come just at the beginning of the season. Lucky for 2 reasons. Firstly, I was able to get a reservation (I heard it is near impossible once season hits). Secondly, we got a 3 @ 66 deal for an app, a main, and a dessert. So we obviously made it a 6 @ 122 to try everything we possibly could. Apparently that deal is only at the beginning and end of season. The Ocean House has a unique Asian-inspired twist to make each dish unique and intriguing. This goes for both food and drinks. For example, I got a dirty martini with MSG?!? Never heard of that, but it worked. Food was all fresh (especially the fish) and delicious. My favorite was their Chilean Sea Bass. That's a must get. Do yourself a favor and make a resi far in advance and take in everything you can! It may be a little pricy and a little fancy - but definitely worth everything.

I just shared a couple apps with a friend- oysters, salad, and dumplings. I ordered a second order of oysters because they were amazing. (I'm from the midwest so any chance to get oysters by the ocean I take and run with!) The drinks were pretty good too! I drank dirty martinis so those can be finicky but it did not disappoint! Waiting for table wasn't too bad either as we could wait at the exterior bar and that almost was more fun. The outdoor bar over looks the ocean and has great service as well! it was a beautiful night so this was really fun! Overall, this is a must visit place for an elevated dinner!

My favorite style of homemade hash is just corned beef, potato and onions -- theirs has peppers but is pretty good, can see why folks say it's one of the best hashes on the Cape. I ordered mine in an Irish benny and it was stupendous. Our family went back twice in one week for the homemade cinnamon swirl loaf French toast and the fresh cranberry pancakes -- both exceeded our high hopes and expectations and were truly sublime. We went with a short stack but still had ample leftovers, which held up perfectly as snacks the next couple of days. I ordered with real maple syrup and butter on side as well, usually comes topped with butter otherwise.
