Love this place. Great bar, gret service, great food (menu changes with the seasons and has daily specials), and open YEAR-ROUND! Only downsides are: -The place is *loud* when full, and it's (rightly) packed around dinner time. -I wish they would serve lunch! read more

First time trying this place. Walked in and was welcomed by a very genuine and kind young man. Our waitress was wonderfully friendly and attentive. Based on the location, I was expecting normal bar / American food, but I was wrong. The menu was descriptive and broad. Not the cheapest place I've ever been, but well priced for the offering. The special hot chicken sandwich was delicious! The sweet potato fries were perfectly done; crispy outside, hot, and not soggy! The seasonal salad with shrimp was perfectly balanced with greens, nuts, and cheese. So delicious! Ended up meeting the chef/cook Orlando. Great guy! And an even better chef! Really impressed by everything that came out of the kitchen! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food! read more

Food was great. We had a two different burgers and both were excellent. The one with shaved steak and 3 cheese sauce was the best! The meat is good and the sauces also great. we shared the sweet potatoes fries with the Cajun sauce. The sauce is divine - Well balanced and delicious. The restaurant is not easily spotted as behind the bike shop but I highly recommend! Only down was the wait to get the food but when it arrived it was peeping hot and perfect! read more

As much as I love the Cape, you gotta admit that not much changes 'round those parts. You've got your Arnolds, you've got your Beachcomber (the best), you've got your Sir Cricket's. You have all the fried fish you need. Sometimes, your need isn't that great. Sometimes you want a real meal with a real feel that doesn't scream "tourist!" Local Break is your place. Located in the same area as Nauset Ice Cream, a liquor store, and a random Thai place, Local Break is a bit hidden from Route 6, but I like it that way. Service was friendly and accommodating. All Cape Cod drafts are unique and fairly priced at $4.50, and you can taste as many as you'd like. Decor is casual and rustic, with roomy booths and checkered table cloths alongside high tops and bar seating. The food was awesome. The classic cheese burger was the first burger I've ordered from a restaurant in a year in a half. More medium-well than the medium I ordered, but still juicy and flavorful. The pickles are homemade! Chicken wings in red garlic sauce were insanely tender. Get them. Mexican street corn was messy and delicious. Local Break just opened two months ago and the place was decently busy. I'm sure next summer it'll be swarmed. read more

Disappointing. I had the tagliatelle alla bolagnese. Seemed like they warmed up yesterday's leftovers. Noodles were soggy and stuck together. Sauce was already on the noodles when warmed up. Mom had clam chowder which was ok and shrimp appetizer which was ok. Everything was just ok. Nothing like the pictures on their website which is what brought me in. Too bad. I'm a local and was looking forward to something good. read more

Sooooo good! Everything was delicious and served in a timely manner. The waiter was friendly and very knowledgeable about their food. I had a cheeseburger with Amish macaroni, which was soooo delicious I ate it immediately. They had a nice selection of local beers. Try their black raspberry mojito, it's amazing! The fruit tart for dessert was tangy and sweet and light. read more

Bartender was basically a huge dick - looked more than annoyed that we were the first people to walk in 20 minutes after they opened. Discouraged us from buying their speciality drinks basically so he didn't have to make them.... Didn't make eye contact, acted as if we were an inconvenience for ordering food, we had to flag him down for refills even though he was within 3 feet of us at all times. Food was decent. Just when we thought our bartender was an ass - another one approached us to say we needed to "stop the cussing".... At a bar.... Yeah... read more

Me and a few friends were biking from Hyannis to P-town over a weekend. Day 2 we stayed in Eastham and found Local Break because it was listed as Vegetarian and had some decent beer choices. Overall Local Break was pretty solid. Our waiter was great, greeting us "I bet this is the most fun you've had on a Saturday night, right?" and generally had some good jokes. The beer selection was good (too many stouts, it's summer and I have been sweating all day!) and the food was pretty solid. I had a veggie burger and fries, the price was right, it was tasty and came with beet chips on top... nicely done on the beet chips. The bun was buttery, seemed home-made and more noteable than the patty. Meat eating friends had the house burger, which they seemed to like. I feel like it had bacon infused mayo or something? If I were a meat-eater I am sure that would have gotten me all hot and bothered. If you're on the cape and aren't going for Lobster or Fried Clams, give this place a shot. read more

Cape Cod with a southern twang. I was looking forward to eating here after I saw the menu. The food did not disappoint.

do your self a favor don't go here if James is working !!! run don't walk run he is the worst server in the world .. poor service is being nice .. im allergic to pickles and can go into epileptic shock and after 3 or 4 time of telling him !! and he told me no pickles are in there but ??? shame on me for going back!!! ..same old pickles on my to go order .. because i didnt check it because he told me 6 times that there was no pickles .??? .beware of this place , i almost feel threatened like he just donsn't give a hoot ..? i d fire him in a minute if this was my place ..incompetent's.. really bad read more

Clam Chowder is better than Arnold's! Better than PJ's in Wellfleet. We loved our burgers and fries too!! Try this place!!! read more

Local Break was a fantastic surprise. We tried to go to a couple places Sunday of Labor Day weekend and they all had long waits. This was our third choice but had open tables. I couldn't be happier with that on hindsight. The service was exceptional. The lady is a servers nightmare, emptying her water faster than a camel returning from Giza, but Raimi kept our glasses full without question. Her plate clearing and checkins were prompt but not bothersome. They even plated our split plate separately down to the sauce with the sweet potato fries without asking We ordered the wings with garlic buffalo sauce, tacos, and house burger. The wings were incredible, crispy and tender to perfection. Normally I have to ask for extra crispy to get that. The sauce was like crack. I'm glad we asked for extra on the side. I wanted to bathe in it but didn't out of fear of wasting it. The tacos were very good with extremely tender short rib, but I would've rather skipped em for more wings. We got the sweet potato fries with the burger. The Cajun maple sauce was just ok. Maybe that was because not even my tingling mouth could stop me from dousing the fries in the garlic buffalo sauce. The burger was awesome. The only complaint was that it was too good to justify dunking in the sauce. Part of me hoped for mediocrity. Stop in this place. Get the garlic wings. read more

Good food good service. Burgers, fries and thick Clam Chowder very delicious! I had the house burger and my husband had the regular cheeseburger. It's not easy to see from road though...its behind the big bike shop in front. read more

Only open three days, this new casual bar and restaurant is already popular with locals eager to try out a new menu. The gazpacho starter was excellent, with more elements than the rather plain menu description. The potato pancakes were a little too soft, needed more crust for contrast. The hot dogs were also good, but left me wishing for a crisp grilled bun to live up to the flavorful dog. Crab and mushroom fricassee was not something I expected to see here--it was surprisingly good however, full of flavor. Service was attentive. We will be returning to try the rest of the dishes and see how the rating stands up with more experience and the crowds of summer. read more

Local Break is a welcome addition on the way to the end of the Cape. The atmosphere is casual with a bar and a lot of tables. Unlike many places on the Cape, there seems to usually be a decent crowd in this place. The food is good pub style fare. Hearty burgers and fries. Wings done right. They also have items somewhat different than the typical Cape Cod or pub menu. It's nice to see some creativity as most Cape menus basically ask "what kind of fish would you like and do you want it fired or broiled". read more

Stopped in for an "in between" lunch and dinner. The service was superior (great job Ally). The food was delicious. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area. read more

I love this place. It's local without being unwelcoming. It's casual with a good bar and a very good menu. The staff is awesome and the owner, Mac, is a solid guy. I have not had a bad meal here and enjoy running into locals, washashores, and visitors. Probably your best bet for a casual sit-down dinner in Eastham/North Eastham or to just relax with friends over drinks. read more

Poor seating in here there are 5 tables a couple of booths or sit on a barstool! So loud we couldn't talk at the table. Very limited menu seems to be a bar and sandwich shop. Extra star for offering WIFI . Stay with the sandwiches everyone seem to say they were good I had a rib special that was edible but disappointing. read more

Great bar staff and interesting crew who run the place. They were friendly and helpful and the place was packed in January. That says enough for a place on the Cape. read more

I've been to Local Break once for cocktails and apps and picked up take out another. Their drinks are really good. Cucumber infused gin? Yes please. The Thom Cucumber Collins is incredible. Their wings were delicious, though we sort of went middle of the road for spicy and I could have used more heat. The atmosphere is laid back, the bartenders are super nice and knowledgable. For my take out experience, I went with the veggie burger. Very good. The sauce it was served with was especially good. Sort of like a fancy sauce with horseradish. Delicious. Ordered sweet potato fries on the side, also very good. Tasty, fresh and not not at all soggy (pretty impressive for take out). Also, the bartender recognized me when I went in to pick up my food, even though I'd only been there once. Great neighborhood stop, I would definitely recommend. read more

Great food. Casual. Good beer selection and music. I will definitely return. Hidden in the back.

Super super friendly service (the waiter brought out the cook to talk to my son about a football team they both like). Accommodated our group of 7 quickly. The Shrimp Po' Boy was overstuffed and excellent. The House Burger was so fresh and tasty I was talking about it all night. Steak and cheese was just okay - on the smaller side and not enough meat. Great local craft beer menu. This place is slightly higher priced than other places in the area but the food, service and atmosphere would make me come back. If your stomach can handle it, walk to Nauset Ice Cream around the corner. read more

The food was good and our server was great! The house burger was delicious and I highly recommend the sweet potato fries with Cajun maple dipping sauce. read more

Excellent food, drinks, and service. We ordered the house burger and the po' boy, and the sauces were delicious. We went back the next day because we had such a great time! With apps, a sandwich, and drinks, expect to pay around $30 a person. Beware: the hot wings are very hot. read more

If you don't do anything else, ORDER THE SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH CAJUN MAPLE SAUCE. It's the right thing to do. This sauce is good on EVERYTHING. The service is fantastic. The prices are super reasonable considering the location. I ordered the extra hot wings with buffalo bleu cheese sauce. OMG. Delicious. Also, ORDER THE HOUSE BURGER. Nominated for many awards. You won't regret it. And the candied cranberry margarita. HELLO. Just go here. Please. read more

The food is here is SO GOOD. Came with my family on a Saturday night, the live music was loud but entertaining. Drinks: was looking forward to the poblano/jalapeño margarita but they were out of the nectar tonight, will have to try it next time Appetizers: clam chowder (generous helping and not too creamy with lots of clam meat), wings (the red garlic the sauce is unreal, we got them hot), smoked romaine was refreshing, swordfish belly was very good esp the dressing. Entrees: we split the 3 fish entrees - the halibut, tuna, and salmon. They were all phenomenal. They came with black quinoa, sticky rice and wasabi soy sauce, and coconut sticky rice red curry & carrot purée, respectively. Can't decide on a favorite between the salmon and the tuna, those two probably beat the halibut. Dessert: coffee was okay but a bit watery, flourless chocolate cake was a flop- honestly not good, vanilla bean cheesecake was GREAT but I would've liked more blueberry topping. Overall an excellent meal! read more

Nice place, good food. I found the menu to be a bit limited however the choices on the menu all looked good. Friendly service. I would of given it 4 stars however the seats are a bit uncomfortable. You're better off sitting on the hi top tables or at the bar. Other than that, I would recommend. read more

We were extremely impressed with the food. The ahi tuna burger was incredible, and for a carnivore, the vegan stir fry was actually great. The sauce was so tasty, I wanted to lick the plate clean! The place is clearly a local favorite, ambience is average I would say. But for sure would come here again! read more

I love eating at LB. Good owners. We went away from burgers & steak this time. My entree did not come as advertised and did not taste good. Same with two others in our party. I also paid the price for it later that night. Sorry. read more

I got the jumbo lump crab cakes for the app, sesame seared tuna for my meal & a hoppy green head ipa for my drink---all good stuff! read more

What a spectacular meal tonight dining outside at Local Break. Incredible margaritas to start and then delicious tuna sashimi appetizer and fish taco entrees. Attentive and friendly service under pretty fairy lights. Well done in these difficult times Local Break! read more

If you hate tourists, don't work in Cape Cod, mean waitress lady. Food was good if you can stomach a TON of attitude.

You first walk in and it looks like a bar the food is better than wings and burgers although they have them. Because of the average age on the outer Cape it was quieter than a typical bar restaurant. I have eaten there twice both seafood and both very good​ I will be back read more

Decent beer list. Swordfish dinner was great. I'd come back just for that. My friends liked the salmon, as well as the chicken and biscuits.

This is one of our favorite places. We miss Zach who was always friendly and very efficient, but the rest of the staff is also attentive and friendly. I'm not a fries girl, but I must say this place has the best fries I have ever had. I recently got a hot chicken sandwich. It was spicy, sweet, crunchy, smooth and one of the best things I have ever eaten. Love the po boys sandwiches and their fabulous burgers. My husband had a cajun soup that looked like any soup, but when I tasted away, I was blown away at the intense flavor of the broth. Cocktails are also great and there's a variety of seating outdoors. This place is hard to find, but look for it. You'll be glad you did! read more

Third time here, had the best clam chowder I have ever had in my life!!!!! It's a meal in itself!!!!kids menu is great too! I also had the steak and cheese sandwich which was amazing as well. I can't say enough great things about his place! Until next year! read more

Disappointing. This turned out to be far more of a bar than restaurant. We waited for 5 minutes and a host never showed up so we had to leave without even trying the food. It was busy so the food must be good, but we couldn't try it, and it was way too noisy to be kid friendly. read more
