“My mom and I had been driving all day and pulled into Hoagies about 2 minutes before closing time. We asked CJ and Taylor if it would be possible to still order some food. They said they were happy to do so! Then we told them they we both have celiac disease and asked if they could give us something gluten free. They both went out of their way to read labels for us and even asked if we would like to have corn tortilla strips on our salads instead of croutons (which are not gluten free). They couldn’t have been nicer! As a plus, the food was delicious. Susan and Megan“

“Just checked this spot out for the first time, and suffice it to say… I will definitely be back!! I got the classic Cape Burger and my boyfriend ordered their Lobster Roll. When I say I LOVED this burger so much… I need to know what sauce they used! My boyfriend also loved their lobster roll and appreciated how big it is. Both meals came with their salty, sweet fries, as well… so good!
Aside from the food, the staff was friendly and the environment is so chill, vibey, and great for families! They even have a cute little lighthouse and sandbox for kids to play in. Once the lights went on at night and they turned on the heaters, it created such a cozy atmosphere to hangout and watch the sunset. Highly recommend!“
