    If you're in Newburyport, I highly recommend breakfast at Mad Martha's! Do note they have a weird schedule so definitely call ahead to ensure they're open. It's a small and adorable little breakfast shack located on scenic plum island. There is a bar with maybe 8 stools and 7 or so tables. You may have to wait a bit so be prepared!! The food is a 10/10 as always. What we got: - corned beef hash and eggs - homemade and delish!!! Must get. - carmelized banana French toast - will give your sweet tooth a run for it's money! - also their hash browns are out of this world. Definitely go here and enjoy an amazing breakfast! I'll be back!!!

    Friendly with a gorgeous smile!

    We were on our way from Boston to Portland and decided to stop at this unique brunch spot on the way. We had to wait about 30 minutes but the gal took our number and texted us when a table was ready so we were able to drive to the lighthouse while waiting. The vibe is so unique with the large kitchen behind the bar. It's like you're in someone's home and they are whipping up something delicious for you. My 7-year old enjoyed the bowl of candy on the counter while we waited for our food- hey, we are on vacation, so why not? She also took a picture of our attractive cook- what a gorgeous smile! We had the Portuguese French toast, shrimp burrito, BAT grilled cheese, Salmon Getaway, some bacon and home fries. It was all incredible!!! This dive is worth the wait- even my kids agreed and kids are always so impatient. :)

    These two women always make you feel like part of the family! The colorful island decor is really fun. Don't miss the specials! We have been going for years and still find something new and delicious to try. This time is was the Island Breakfast Bowl--and she was happy to make it vegetarian for me! The coconut fried rice was delicious!

Both were fabulous. We also had a latte with soy milk but there were lots of different milk options to choose from. Parking is street parking or one of the nearby lots which is what we chose. It was pretty busy even in January so I'd be prepared to give a few minutes over to parking but it's worth it. You can order at the counter or through a kiosk. We tried the kiosk but oddly it doesn't seem set up to give you a receipt so I would order at the counter next time. The staff were very nice about following up to get me my receipt but I think they just need to configure the system a bit more. Whether you order at the kiosk or the counter you take a number and the staff will bring you your food. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the dining area spacious and comfortable. There are quite a lot of good things to choose from on the menu so it will probably be returning next time we're in Newburyport to try and test out a few other items.

Our only real option was two seats at the bar. We had quick and attentive service from the bartender. Interesting offerings for cocktails, and we enjoyed our drinks. The food I think can be best described as American/Thai/Asian. Food came pretty fast, and we started with crab rangoon, and possibly the largest we have ever been served. Fried up crisp, not greasy and generously filled with cream cheese and real crab. Next up, we tried the Waygu burger which was quite good, nice toppings. My only complaint here was we wished the fries were fresh out of the fryer. I'm really fussy about fries and like them hot, crispy and fresh. Sadly, these were not. I had my eye on the Choco Taco for dessert, and this was a sophisticated version of the classic frozen treat you may have enjoyed from the ice cream truck as a kid. Home made with great ingredients, it was a perfect finish to a very nice meal. I would definitely give these guys a try when in Newburyport.

Was delightfully greeted by Madelyn and Melissa my bartenders. Was served and ate well like always!!! Power went out a few times and was given the option to leave but I decided to stay. After the fourth time I decided to cash out to make sure the place I enjoy didn't get shafted like the individuals who ran out when it went off. Upon paying for my meal and drinks I asked for the military like I always do and was rudely interacted with by the floor manger saying we don't do military I said well yes you do I come here almost daily. She snarled and said well WE did enough for you today, (you mean you served me my breakfast and my three drinks?) and we don't do that. I then showed her that you do have a military discount and she mumbled something under her breath rudely and finally applied the discount. Mind you the bartender apologized, though not her fault. This manager is absolutely rude. This would be the second time. First time I actually thought they didn't have one until the second time I came in and was told there is one and they said this manager is just lazy and rude. The entire time I was here she was sitting down laughing with friends leaving her staff with no help.... throughly enjoy this place, but man she doesn't belong and needs an attitude adjustment. But anyways eat here! Foods great and the Bartenders are sociable. P.S - It would have been a 5 star except for Lizzie...... see you all tomorrow
