everything always goes well at the pier view-from eric to all the staff-this place is a top notch spot for breakfast -if you are in onset early you got to go-i highly recommend it!! read more

***Stephen's Lounge *** Was excited to see a local band play this afternoon and quite disappointed with the staff. Bartender has been unpleasant to several customers. Not attending to "non-regulars" in a timely fashion almost to the point of ignoring them. Morning crew for breakfast are wonderful. If the bartender can't handle the crowd, she shouldn't be behind the bar. Band was excellent. Would come see the band again any day, they were amazing, but would forgo having a beverage if said bartender was working. read more

Food was excellent, service was pleasant and prices are REASONABLE! We have tried many cafes in the area. This is one of the best.

A great local place to stop for a full breakfast, and Friday eve Fish Fry! You get alot for your dollar, and it's always fresh. My fav. waffles w-strawberries is my go-to breakfast--and the Pierview special eng.muffin is tasty. Friday night Fish Fry is in demand! Both take out and dine in are rewarded with enough for two people, with option of french fries or Cape Verdian Jag. Lively owners who greet all who enter and many diners you will see repeating for Years. Don't miss the waterview and sights of happy folks in Onset, MA. Ready, set, GO! read more

They have young staff working there, which is great- but they're unfriendly. As someone who's worked in the restaurant business at all types of places (from an average seafood place in Plymouth to a high end catering job in a rich part of the cape) - I know how important it is to at least smile and ask how people are doing when they sit down. We literally seemed to inconvenience the people working there. The wait time was longer than expected, and like other people mentioned, it just isn't clean there. They certainly don't run a vacuum through there daily...food was ok-- but wouldn't rush back. read more

Always a great experience. Fast and friendly service. Huge menu. Lots of specials. Great corned beef hash, lots of local options as well read more

Pier View Restaurant - a breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast - American Near Me - Onset, Massachusetts

The only decent thing we were served was toast & iced coffee. I ordered Irish Eggs Benedict with "homemade hash". There was no way this has was homemade hash...looked like it was yesterday's mashed potatoes and canned corned beef. When we asked the waitress she actually argued with us & didn't offer an alternative. The eggs were poached properly so I'll give them that. The home fries were cooked in some type of oil giving them an off flavor. The bacon was definitely cooked in a large batch and reheated - wiggly & oily & not crispy. My 14 month olds scrambled egg was so gross he refused to eat it - I tried it & it had that same cooking oil taste and no seasoning. read more

Stopped in last Friday for sausage egg and cheese on bagel came with some home fries very good sandwich will be back a great little spot in onset read more

Enjoyed a good hot breakfast! Local hangout. Service. Was friendly. If you want a Bloody Mary they can accommodate you.

Fish fry fridays, 5pm: best deal in town! The seafood platter feeds the 2 of us for $30. Great onion rings, fish, whole clams, scallops. Not overloaded with fries. Cole slaw delucious. Great chowder and dessert... all included. Don't miss this. read more

Nope met here for a meeting, so not my choice number one, two I had to wait for the women I was meeting with to show up for at least 15 min, do you thing the rude waitress would ask if I wanted a drink No she didn't! So when the women showed up she magically appeared and said drinks! Mind you I already ordered because someone else ask me! So now I'm thinking this women was a regular, but no she wasn't! Wow so your just plain rude! Had I not have to interview with this women I would've got up and left! So now we order and omelette was blah big pieces of tomatoes and greasy! The rude dark haired waitress almost hit mi face with the plate she was so close. Lucky for flyer sake she didn't I paid the bill but told the women I was with if she wanted to tip cause I would not! Stuck up rude waitress needs to learn customer service! read more

This place was open only for breakfast/brunch and close to where we were staying. I passed by the place twice and it looked enticing; local folks sitting inside, chatting, laughing and just being slow, a bit (or may be a lot) unusual for eastern part of the U.S. where Dunkin culture has taken over. That's when I decided to go in for breakfast. Waitress asked me to sit anywhere I like. I asked for a coffee and it was freshly brewed. I was able to hear conversations across a few tables, and I noticed everyone here sounded like Bernie Sanders and I loved hearing that even though I didn't get much. I ordered Portuguese Egg Benedict, which was very delicious. Egg was perfectly done and sauce was slightly on the sweet side. I was hoping for some spicy kick since Portuguese are known for hot/spicy/complex flavors but it wasn't as such. Overall, I loved the experience and I highly recommend if anyone want to experience what locals eat for brunch around here. Oh, and this is cash only place but ATM is within the restaurant. read more

Pier View Restaurant - Portuguese Egg Benedict - American Near Me - Onset, Massachusetts

Breakfast was simple but delicious. Staff is so friendly to everyone to make you feel at home! Love this place! Definitely five stars!

Food was GREAT! -exactly what I was craving. The prices were very reasonable. The service was fast, but not once did someone come to check on us (and I could have used a refill on my water). The main reason I didn't give the Pier View five stars is because, like too many places in Onset, it doesn't take credit/debit cards! --so frustrating! read more

My husband and I had been looking for breakfast and came across this little gem. The waitress was busy but we told her no hurry, when she came over she was very friendly. The menu has some great breakfast options. food was delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

There are few places in the world to have a better breakfast than here. The prices are outstanding and there are many parts of your breakfast that you can only get here in Onset. Coffee is good too, largely because of just classic simple brewing. Everything here dates from a bit back and that's what makes it just perfect inside. read more

See all

Great spot looking out toward the water. My omelette, my wife's Eggs Benedict & my mother in law's Banana & Swiss omelette were all tasty. Yes... and you read it right Banana & Swiss cheese omelette. 2 of us weren't fans of the home fries. Service was outstanding! read more

An amazing breakfast! The best apple and sausage pancakes on the planet! A super friendly bunch of characters work there, always happy faces and superior service! Husband loves the well done hash read more

I really wish I could give this another shot. However, with a pandemic, they were very relaxed and some tables were not six feet apart. The server was also loud and complaining about another customer who was unhappy about their set up. I'm not a "local" and she seemed much more attentive to others. So much so, that we received our brunch last even though we had been there quite a bit before others. Hopefully, they will improve. read more

This has always been a family favorite of mine, and I had always gone somewhat reluctantly because the food was very average basic diner food. However, I must say it has been steadily improving. They seem to have a new chef within the past 5 years or so and are making an effort to modernize. It is definitely worth trying, especially with somewhat limited options around, however expect the basic diner food menu maybe with a hint of added quality. They have become better, but at the end of the day it is still a 3 star place for the basic menu, lack of creativity, and often bland atmosphere and uncleanliness read more

Best Breakfast in Town Eric is slammin on the Grill Always a pleasant welcome when arriving A Place where Friends Meet

First off the waitress came to our table 3 times. One for our drink orders. Second for food orders and the only other time to drop of the food. Had to flag someone else down to bring our check. They also put bacon in their home fries without it being anywhere on the menu. As a vegetarian having to find this out while I was eating was very upsetting not to mention some people don't eat pig for religious reasons. When I told the waitress that it should say something on the menu if they're going to put meat in their home fries all she said was that I should have told her I was vegetarian first. Very disappointing experience. They will never have my service again read more

My apolgies for forgetting the Pier View part of this place for bfast which is very good, and as you may imagine: has a pier view! Classic New England diner spot with hearty and varied menu choices. The service was friendly and fast and the cheeseburger omelet was excellent. read more

If you want to wait an hour for a mediocre breakfast with slow and unfriendly service this is the spot for you.

This is exactly where you want to have breakfast. As soon as we arrived, they graciously put together multiple tables for us so 9 of is could sit together. It was a great table with a nice view of the goings on outside. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The service was quick and the food was great. I had the stereotypical eggs and bacon breakfast and enjoyed it. There is nothing fancy or elaborate about this place but that's what I like about it. Good breakfast at a super cheap price. Love it! read more

Best breakfast in town!! Eric owns the grill and Nicole is a great waitress!! I go at least twice a week.

Stopped by after hearing about and was not too impressed. Service was fine but quantity and quality no where near our favorite, Blueberry Muffin in Plymouth. Parking is an issue here, on street!!!! Not worth the bother. Sorry but won't be back. read more

Holy crap. Literally. We stood and waited for several minutes before any staff greeted us. In that time we were able to observe the outdated, dirty restaurant, half of which was in the dark. We should have left. It was nearly impossible to tell who worked there except for the one waitress wearing an apron. We were sat in the dark section by someone I believe was the owner. He brought us coffee, and then we waited for about ten minutes to be greeted by our waitress. It then took 40 minutes to get our food. We both ordered the biscuits and gravy along with one side of sausage and one side of corned beef hash. First of all, the excessive amount of gravy overwhelmed the plate. There was more gravy than everything else combined. The corned beef hash was a hard, burned hockey puck that clinked on the plate, and was completely inedible. The sausage was also badly burned on one side. The scrambled eggs were wet and runny. The only good thing about this place was the coffee. To waitress' credit she did immediately remove the burned items from our bill. On our next visit to the area, we will be sure to stay away from this restaurant. read more

This place is decent for breakfast, but the homefries are often hit or miss. Half the time, they're perfectly cooked, and half the time they're so underdone you can taste crunchy onions when you bite them. The other menu items, bacon and eggs, french toast, waffles, etc are all delicious. The prices are also fair. It's worth the stop for a nice morning meal. read more

We had a very nice breakfast here today. Promptly greeted by friendly staff. Service was quick and the food was excellent. A good pick for standard breakfast food. read more

This by far is one of the best Restaurants in the area for Breakfast...The homefries are real, tasty potatoes that have a delicious crunch once they are in your salivating mouth. What everyone likes is the fast service from order time to actually getting it set before you. Hot yummy meals...good menus to choose from...and the coffee! This is Onset coffee at its best. Seriously, we all love it here and bring all our friends and relatives here. Once you start coming here, there just is not any other place. read more

I love the Pier View Restaurant for a classic diner type breakfast. The place is not very visibly appealing but don't be put off, it's worth the stop. Family owned and run, they do a nice job. They have a good assortment of omelettes, biscuits and gravy, and other breakfast staples. Service is usually pretty good although it can get a bit hectic on weekends. If you're in Onset/Wareham this is definitely a good stop for breakfast. read more

The Pier View is an outstanding place for breakfast. Like others, it took me a couple of years to venture into it, as the outside doesn't give a very inviting feel.....but, once inside, you're in for a treat. The food is very good, the service excellent, and the friendly bantering between the owner, waitresses and cook let you know that this is a family run operation. After a couple of visits, people greet you like family, and we have attended many worthwhile benefits sponsored by the very generous owner, Steve. It's a very comfortable spot with very good breakfast food and very good people running it. There is a lounge that may attract a different type of crowd at night, but it has no impact on the restaurant during the day - and I have to say I'm very disheartened by the racist remarks made by one poster. Go and enjoy it! read more

I was taken here for the first time by my father, as it is across from the pier in Onset and we were fishing/crabbing that day. I had seen this place before, but it's one of those places you where you can't tell anything about what's going on inside just to see it from the outside. We went in and every table was full, took our seats at the bar seating and ordered up. The woman behind the grill/counter took our order and had the personality of a dead moth, with no eye contact. I asked if they served grits there and she said no.. A breakfast place that doesn't serve grits? That alone warrants star removal. Sure it's New England and not the south but get with the program! She served up our orders, I got fried eggs, toast and hash browns. The hash browns were a little soft/soggy but not bad. My dad joked "This is the first good meal I've had since I got out of prison!" Still no kind of response elicited from the woman. Well maybe she was having a bad day, who knows. Anyhoo.. The food was decent, the location is decent, and breakfast is breakfast. Lively atmosphere too.. A-OK. read more

We had to walk out, hungry, after waiting over an hour after placing or order then learning our order wasn't even being cooked yet. We had 7 people and they couldn't handle it, plain and simple. Filled every 2 and 3 person order before us and ignored our "big" order. Even delivered some other tables order to us by mistake twice while we waited. Amateurs. read more

Went for breakfast on a weekend while visiting the area. The help are very friendly and efficient. We ordered the veggie Benedict and veggie omelet. They were both delicious and only out shined by their home fries! They were small chunks of skin on potatoes sautéed with onions and small pieces of yummy linguisa. The bar opens for Bloody Mary's at 11am and they were just perfect. Prices are very reasonable! I highly recommend this place for breakfast. read more

I never leave reviews but this had to have been the worst expierence i have ever had. My silverware was disgusting. Couldnt even drink my coffee there was stiff floating in it. It took 20 min to be seated and another hour before we got our food. Disgusted. read more

The Pier View Restaurant is the best breakfast in Massachusetts. Food is great & prices are low. Reminds you of Cheers where everybody knows your name & is very friendly. Erick & Steve are the best host in the business. read more

I left the Onset area in 1981. Since then I have returned at least once a year. When I wake up in the morning I can not wait to go to the Pier View for breakfast. So GOOD........better than going to Grandma's house. The menu has a large variety and the coffee keeps flowing. Regarding the lounge, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however I am confused as to the review written by Mike R. He claims to have felt unwelcomed by the CV community at the bar one saturday night. He states that he was the only casper in the joint, but yet he embraces the CV community. He also throws in the fact that his niece is Cape Verdean. Perhaps he should bring her with him next time. How are we ever going to unite as a people when we can not enjoy the atmosphere without scrutinizing the customers. Lastly, their are times when we make ourselves uncomfortable. Steven's Lounge is the nicest little bar that Onset has ever had. read more
