Two sides to this coin. First a darn fine diner breakfast joint and secondly, a wonderful attached bakery. What's good? Everything is good! I had the Blueberry Pancakes which were to die for, thick cut maple bacon, and a wonderful never ending cup of coffee. My bride had the lobster egg hollandaise. Worth the trip! Great America Breakfast! They stop the breakfast at 11:00 so be advised!! read more

We have stopped here before and always had a good lunch. Today we ordered the "award winning clam chowder " and we were VERY disappointed . There was no flavor, no clams and full of potatoes. I couldn't even finish mine. The regular lunch's looked good and the bakery is always good but the clam chowder was not good. read more

This is one of my boyfriend's favorite spots in sandwich and he brought me today! I enjoyed my breakfast very much and love that they have a coffee shop attached. I got a caramel latte to go. It's a quaint little New England diner and the service was friendly, quick and efficient. I would def be happy to go back! read more

No gluten-free bread or options for fried fish. Had to get a salad and it was full of rotten spinach leaves. Our tour bus stopped there so I was stuck. read more

Today (10/3/26) I ordered the clam strip plate at Marshland. We just moved back to the Cape and I was expecting the same good food that we enjoyed 12 years ago when we lived here before our move north. However, the onion rings were dried out, the clams were mostly breading, and even the coleslaw was tasteless. My wife had a salad which she liked and may daughter had an omelet which she enjoyed. If we go, again, I will stick to the breakfast menu. I shared my complaint with the stoic waitress and she gave me a less than sincere, "sorry about that." I left the onion rings on the plate and she, at least, subtracted them from my bill. read more

Update to my review from 2017: Hubby decided he wanted to try out Marshland again as it has been years since last we visited this in-town icon. We dropped in around 5:15pm. Not busy at all. One very odd guy at the counter and 3 deuces besides us in booths. Hubs tried the Buffalo Chicken Tenders which he said were unremarkable but fine. I had the meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and the 'zucchini medley'. In all honesty but for the oiliness of the gravy my dinner was really good and so hot that I had to adjust everything in order to release some of the heat. The meatloaf was serviceable and a large portion of it (I'm having the remnants as a sandwich for lunch today), the mashed potatoes were definitely from fresh potatoes as I found a not unpleasant chunk of unmashed potato in there. The zucchini was a real treat with caramelized zucchini, which I love, crispy shallots and grape tomatoes. All, as I said, piping hot. Good, inexpensive diner food, server with speed, friendliness and care in a cutesy Cape Cod diner. read more

To preface we came in on a busy summer morning, but it seemed like the staff couldn't keep up. It took a while for our coffees to come, but food came out fast. Food was okay, classic diner fair. read more

Breakfast is amazing at this restaurant that returned to Forestdale to add to its multiple locations. The menu has multiple offerings and they customize any way you'd like. The location is roomy, clean and service is pleasant and attentive. The pan omelette is generously filled with many combinations to choose from. This restaurant has a long history of making family food and has even been celebrated on The Food Network. Highly recommend! read more

Such a cute little diner! I love sitting at the counter and parking is reasonable (unlike some places on Cape). The food is consistent and good; there's even a little takeout section for coffee and pastries if you don't want to sit. Service is good - although like many places it can be very busy at peak hours. Going around 11:30 for more of a brunch was the way to go (but it sounded like they do cut off breakfast at some point, so don't go too late if you have your heart set on pancakes!). read more

The service and food were great! We stopped here spontaneously finding this local gem. My husband had the lobster roll, my son the reuben, my daughter the burger, and myself, I had the pot roast. Everything was so delicious, freshly made, with great portion sizes. My little ones were starting to get a little fussy when the waitress brought over some colors and paper. That got them busy until it was time for food. If you have a chance, give this place a try. I only wish we had room for dessert! read more

We had been to the Glass Museum nearby and had asked for a recommendation for a place to have lunch. Good choice. Parking was fine, even on a rainy day. We were seated and served promptly by a very friendly young woman who made us feel quite at ease. We both had fish and chips and were very happy. Portions were larger than we had expected and the breading was just right. The bakery was a treat as well and we brought home brownies and scones for that evening and the next morning. If you are anywhere nearby we urge you to stop in and enjoy a meal. Leave room for baked goods as well. read more

barely any vegetarian options and no vegan options. the mac and cheese was odd tasting and the onion rings were the worst i've had, no flavor at all and weird breading. i had the strawberry shortcake and it tasted like chemicals. the service was fine, our server was nice and the restaurant was fine too. nothing special though. wouldn't go back read more

Ok I went back, twice. Marshland makes the best tuna melt on the Cape. The sourdough bread is AOK but the great tuna salad with tomato and cheese, heaven. The setting is rough around the edges diner vibe. I love it! read more

9/20/24 We received a recommendation from a young man at the Sandwich Glass Museum. I had the Scallop Platter with fries and coleslaw. The scallops were very lightly breaded and perfectly fried. The fries were excellent! The coleslaw was very good. My wife had an egg over easy with home fries and marble toast. Excellent home fries. From the Bakery. The Whoppie pie and chocolate chip and craisin biscotti were very good. The carrot cake was one of the best I tasted but a little dry. The pistachio muffin was excellent. The best my wife ever had. Maybe they will share their recipe for their pistachio muffin! Excellent service! read more

It's a shame how far this place has sunk. The food is expensive and now sub par. When Kim and Marty were running it you knew you'd get good food for a fair price. I just picked up to go food for our family and it was disgusting. I ordered a turkey rueben and the turkey was like cat food. I keep making the mistake of going her because I have so many memories of Marshlands from the Tobin and Kim and Marty years. They're serving swill now and I know they're long time staff is embarrassed read more

We came in here because it smelled good as we were driving by. We split a crock of clam chowder, which was good. My husband got the clam strip plate and it was fantastic. I do think the star of the show was my lobster roll. Huge chunks of meat, not a lot of mayo, amazing roll - perfection! Fries were great too. Would definitely recommend. Service was solid. No complaints here. read more

I eat here a lot and the food is always great. I got our desserts for Thanksgiving and they were Awesome. They also have the best breakfast in town. read more

Small and crowded, with apparently no regard for Covid safety, Marshland is a germ petrie dish, sorry to say. The food is good however. The omelet and side salad is massive. Comes with tater tots and big toast. The grilled Ruben was just ok, but as a former New Yorker, my standards are high. Marshland is one of those roadside classic diners with Big portions and reasonable prices making it a favorite for many visiting Cape Cod. read more

One of the best french onion soup i've ever had! Big portions and fresh. Quick service and always packed inside. The only thing i would say is tuna melt was really dry, not really a melt but cheese just thrown inside. read more

I grew up on Cape cod and Moved to Sacramento 10 years ago. I like clam chowder, stuffed quahogs and clam strips,which do not taste the same in Sacramento. I have been to several places over the past couple days and have to say Marshland was my favorite. The wait staff was friendly, the decor was cute and had an old fashioned look with counters and stools read more

I have dietary restrictions. I asked if they cook the eggs on the same griddle as they do meat & was told "cook uses a separate pan for eggs". Got an omelet - it was greasy & every bite tasted of bacon so I couldn't finish it. I should've been suspicious when I saw green things floating in my water. When I showed it to the server her reply was "oh, its just parsley". News flash - if I wanted parsley in my water I would have asked for it. Husband also had an omelet ... it was under cooked, runny and the potatoes were saturated in grease. I guess if you like a greasy meal, its the place for you. If you want something a bit more healthy, keep driving. There are other options nearby. read more

We waited about 25-35 minutes to be sat, but it was absolutely worth it! The food was absolutely wonderful and the atmosphere was super calm and fun. Some of the decor makes it feel like an old country style kitchen and it's just overall lovely. Most people probably wouldn't wait that long, but our family played heads up outside on our phones and it was a good laugh to pass the time. read more

Marshland Restaurant & Bakery - To be completely honest I have no idea what this is- my mom ordered it. Some kind of pasta with artichoke and veggies and crispy chicken. - American Near Me - Sandwich, Massachusetts

Always liked the food at this very clean Cape restaurant. Wait staff is excellent. But! When you advertise your open till 9PM you should be open till 9PM. Not turning away customers at 7:40pm read more

Of course it's busy this time of year(summer) but it would be great if the service and food was consistent all year round. I understand the revenue booster of summer customers has on the cape but it hardens the all year rounders confidence in the local businesses. Also the ambiance changes with the seasons so are family do not frequent our stomping grounds as much. read more

Nothing to look at from the outside but nice, clean, and friendly diner on the inside. The lobster bisque was thick and rich. In debating whether to get a cup or a bowl-- spring for the bowl! Had a nice salad with craisins, green apple and blue cheese on top. Boy, they weren't skimpy on the cheese! My kid enjoyed their baked mac and cheese and Caesar salad. Cape cod reuben and fries looked good too. Kind, attentive, fast, and friendly wait staff. A solid choice. read more

Good breakfast spot but staff should not be eating at the counter! Staff a bit too chatty with each other; distracting. Hooks for purses under counter would be nice. read more

Great simple food! Easy and great for kids. Breakfast was great and will be back this week.

My wife was in the mood for oatmeal and I was in the mood for lobster egg Benedict. I called up to confirm that they had oatmeal at noon time and was told yes. Came to the restaurant when she ordered the oatmeal the waitress told her it was instant! So short French toast and I ordered my lobster egg Benedict. Had to flag down the waitress to get a refill on my coffee while waiting for breakfast. Breakfast came my wife's friends toast was cold waitress said oh I'm sorry they were just waiting for your eggs Benedict to get finished. I guess the cooks don't understand, the concept of timing the orders so that they're done at the same time. On the other hand, my eggs Benedict were wonderful and had General portions of clam meat. Had to flag down the waitress again to get a refill soda for my wife. All the waitresses congregate around Each other and chitchatting without looking at the dining room floor to see who needs what read more

My go to restaurant when I have out of town guests! But when I wanna have a really good home-cooked meal, marshlands is a great choice!

I am still thinking about what a terrible dinner it was. The next table over placed their order, then we got their menus. We placed our order shortly thereafter. Their food was served while we waited. They finished their food while we waited. Finally, my wife went and asked about our food - 2 sandwiches. They gave some excuse for the delay. We should have just left. A Rubin sandwich is supposed to have thinly sliced meat. They added chunks of meat. The bread is to be toasted. This bread was burnt. Fries are to be crisp. These were mushy. We sat in front of largely uneaten food when the check was dropped on our table without a word and the waitress disappeared. We were never asked about our meal. I am just waiting for hell to freeze over so I can consider returning there. read more
