I cannot rave enough about this place. I've visited Hyannis in March, three years in a row. Every year we have eaten here for one of our meals. Every year is has been incredible. This year we came back because of how outstanding last year was. I ordered the chili again, even though I knew it meant I probably wouldn't eat my whole meal. My friend ordered the fish and chips and upgraded to truffle fries. She said it was probably the best fish and chips she's had. Now... for my meal... I am not exaggerating... BEST meal I have EVER had. Ever. I had the cod. Baked. With pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes. Served with roasted potatoes and spinach. So flaky. So tender. Perfectly cooked. The flavor was something straight from heaven. Breaks my heart I'm not local. I'd eat this weekly. All of the staff is always so friendly. A gentleman also checked in... not sure if he's a manager or owner. This is a top notch place. I'll definitely be back. read more

We recently stopped by Portside Tavern and were reminded why we love great local spots like this. It's a fantastic low-key bar that's just as good for dinner as it is for catching a game. The TV screens are perfectly placed, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The pizza was excellent -- flavorful, hot, and done just right. We also tried the meatloaf, and it genuinely reminded us of our grandmother's from years ago -- comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. That's not something you find everywhere. Even in the middle of winter, the place had a warm, lively vibe. We ended up having a great conversation with someone we later found out was the owner -- just chatting about everyday life. That kind of genuine hospitality says a lot. Good food, great service, and an easygoing atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience -- we'll definitely be back! read more

Portside Tavern - Great sausage and red pepper pizza! Super thin crust.. - American Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

All I can say is WOW. From the moment we walked in the door the gentleman at the host stand was so friendly. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops for an appetizer and they were a 10/10. I got the fish and chips and it was perfect and their house made tartar sauce was one of the best I have ever had. If you are visiting or haven't tried this place before CHECK IT OUT! I am a restaurant manager myself so I tend to be very picky when I go out and was thoroughly impressed by this place. read more

I heard of this from the locals. Walking in was like going back in time. Upper balconies , really cool atmosphere. Definitely a sports bar. The bartender Nancy and Brendon are very nice. Friendly and attentive. I ordered I plate of encrusted salmon. Was delicious. Then came dessert. It was the cheesecake house special. Omg wow was impressed. The gave a great wine selection as well. Definitely be back. Thank you! Nice job. read more

This place is a great sports bar, with a tremendous craft beer selection. The place has a lively atmosphere for watching sports games. I ordered the lobster roll and was truly surprised as to how much lobster meat was on the roll. This has got to be one of the best lobster rolls in New England. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. The service here was amazing - extremely kind, quick, and willing to accommodate our walk-in party of 11. Our drinks were tasty, and the food was quite good, especially considering the variety offered. I was happy with just some mac and cheese, and honestly wish I had tried something else, too. Relaxed environment, good food, solid prices. Definitely recommend. read more

I loved this place. The hostess was extremely nice and accommodating to us. It's a very friendly atmosphere and our server was wonderful. The steak tips were delicious and plentiful. I could not believe the mound of potato salad I got or a whole ear of street corn! Way too much but a fabulous lunch the next day! Lots of choices in a rustic style tavern! Parking is a bit of a challenge but well worth it. read more

My family and I dined here during our recent Cape Cod trip. Despite the restaurant being busy, we were quickly seated. I had the Pineapple Coconut Margarita, which was not too sweet and not too strong. I was indecisive for my meal so I ended up just getting Nachos. The portion was big and shareable, and had most of the fixings I want in nachos - just needed beans. If I stay in Hyannis next time then I will dine here again! read more

The food here was absolutely amazing! Not only was every bite delicious, but the customer service was warm, welcoming, and so friendly. Since we're visiting from down south, we were on the hunt for a late-night spot (which isn't easy to find by the Harbor since so much was already closed). Luckily, we made our way toward the Cape Cod Mall area and struck gold! We shared a mouthwatering lobster roll with crispy fries, a perfectly baked pizza, and for dessert... oh my goodness--the chocolate chip cookie skillet topped with creamy vanilla ice cream and the caramel fudge brownie sundae were next-level indulgence. If you're ever in the area and craving a late-night bite, this is the spot to be! read more

The service was great-- def 5 worthy! We ordered: Hand cut fries-- they were fresh! 10/10 Seafood Alfredo-- my partner seemed to enjoy it. A cheese pizza-- we're from CT so our pizza standards are pretty high (iykyk) but I thought it was great. Wings with their special sauce-- it's buffalo and lemon pepper but I felt the lemon pepper was overbearing. Otherwise, they were cooked perfectly. read more

After 6+ years finally made it back. Was just as good as I remembered. We sat at the bar right at noon. There were just a few patrons, and within the hour the whole place filled up. Andy (on the bar) took amazing care of us. We had a couple cold beers and oysters while we tried to decide what else to have. We watched as so many mouth watering dishes went by. The burgers and fries looked AMAZING...as did the buffalo tenders, Mac n Cheese, and some sort of wrap. We wound up just munching on a bar pizza. It was delicious. Perfect South Shore style with crispy crust. The owner, Jason, came over to say hi. I mentioned this was my second time and was so happy to see it still thriving. We will be back later this week. I highly recommend!!! This is a locals place, slightly off the beaten path away from the tourist stuff, but still super close to everything mid Cape. Oh, and on top of huge portions, very reasonably priced. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. It's a home run! read more

Wow! We read reviews trying to determine a nice spot for dinner and we certainly hit the jackpot! The food was delicious... the burger was the biggest we've ever seen. AND it was one of the best we've ever had! The service was great and it was a nice, laid back atmosphere. read more

Great food, great service, & great sports atmosphere! Big screen Tv with smaller tv's surrounding it in the bar area. The food is much better than average bar food. The clam chowder was excellent as were the scallops. The Caymus Bonanza Cab was worth the money. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in Hyannis. It is right off the Main Street & they have their own parking lot. read more

So glad we picked Portside Tavern in Hyannis for many reasons. The food was excellent along with the service, atmosphere, the friendly and "on the ball" Staff. The large screens around the bar were perfect for the game. Even the customers were great especially Amanda from KC who "saved the game" for us all with her IT expertise! Thank you Amanda and Portside Tavern for a great night out! read more

One of those times I would give 3.5 stars, but the tamales and port belly potato skins were delicious, and well conceived, definitely 4 stars! The place is very live/loud. My group of six was seated in a small alcove sounded by mirrors. It was hard to hear anyone not immediately next to you. The service was not great. We had to remind our server of items at least twice. One of our party ordered the ice tea, and when it came, it was terribly sweet, so she sent it back, but the server did not remove it from our bill. But I would come back for the food! read more

Steak tips were AMAZING. There were only 4, but they are the size of a full filet mignon and they were cooked to perfection; they were spot on. The street corn and potato salad were phenomenal also. The drinks come in little mason jars and when we kept ordering water refills they came over with a pitcher of water for us to serve ourselves and they refilled the pitcher for us. Service in the beginning was ok. The host was amazing and told us 15-20 and it ended up being no more than 10 minutes. The waiter was a little rude at first but seemed to calm down as the restaurant seemed to die down. It seemed like we were getting the "get them out of here" treatment until the restaurant cleared out. Even with a busy restaurant, it's still important to be attentive and kind to your tables. read more

Great local Bar& Grill. Able to walk in and get seated it was however a weeknight so I can't comment on how busy it is on a Friday or Saturday. The food was excellent and the service was equally as good. I had the restaurant special , beef tips that were perfectly cooked. My wife had the cod and enjoyed it. Restaurant was clean and spacious. Nice outside dining area with a fire pit read more

Great atmosphere and better food! First taste on my first visit to Cape Cod and they didn't disappoint.

We got seated right away without needing to wait. Food was great... recommend the lobster bisque and the seafood Alfredo. Portion sizes are on the large size. There was a slight snafu with one of our orders going to the wrong table but they remedied the situation quickly. Definitely would go back. read more

Delicious first impression. $10 cheese bar Pizza. Found this place on Facebook group. It lived up to expectation I asked how much a cheap glass of wine was, and the bartender said $10. I thought that was pricey. Upside is that they have a good selection of draught beer and bottles. read more

Great service and tasty food. Love the burger and crispy fries. Wanted a quick bite before we headed on the ferry, this spot did the trick.

The Baked Cod shined with the lemon butter accenting the perfectly cooked fish. All the vegetables were also cooked perfectly!

Best pizza on Cape by fahhhh! Pats games, family night out, it is always delicious and affordable!

Atmosphere was great. Some outdoor seating. Lots of tvs inside, including a giant one behind the bar. Service was great - Louise was friendly and attentive. Food was great. Had some oysters on the half shell, lobster bisque, a cheeseburger and swordfish on a bed of pasta. No room for dessert. Will be back! read more
