“We were pleasantly surprised to find Helen's Diner open during our last visit. We've always enjoyed the great food & service in a fun 1950's decor setting. Clean and friendly place for breakfast though we were sad to learn this will be their last season since planned renovations to the Tidewater Inn include changing the diner into a restaurant with a bar.“

“Grumpys is a great breakfast spot that has plenty of seating, great food and a great atmosphere.
We have gone in with a group of 5 and a group of 9 and beer waited more than 15-20 minutes for a seat.
There is counter/bar seating, and a regular dining room with plenty of tables.
The food is great, the staff is very attentive and caring and you don’t want very long for any of it (food, seats, etc).
It’s located right on Route 6a and is an easy parking lot to get in and out of.
The parking lot is small, so it will take a minute to find a spot but worth the wait.
Kids are welcome and they have a kids menu and plenty of options.
Grumpys is a must stop!“

“Delicious, hearty chicken pot pie with a surprising little side of orange cranberry sauce that really set it off. The Reuben was a bit in the small side, though the corned beef tasted fantastic.

We were quickly seated, greeted warmly by multiple staff, and a kind waitress took care of us. Glad we stopped by on a whim!“

“Absolutely Great customer service, great food“

“Wonderful place, loved our server, Kellie.“

“Great fresh food, excellent service, relaxing, clean and beautifully designed atmosphere. Welcoming to celebratory experiences.“

“Great restaurant! The food was very good. Big portions for a good price. The staff was very nice. Will definitely come back!“

“We dined here last night and had a fantastic experience- our server, Princess, was one in a million. Professional, friendly and just a kind human. Most servers are less than thrilled when we ask about dairy being in certain items- but not Princess. She went above and beyond and completely made our night. She made us laugh (to the point of tears) and was just a joy to speak with. 🌸🌸🌸“

“The wait time is unbelievably fast . Stopped for breakfast to almost a full house and we met with our waitress, Sophia in record time. But thats not all. our breakfasts which i will say was probably the best we have had was delivered in record breaking time. we actually thought she was delivering to our table by mistake. But nope, it was our order. The best scrambled eggs i have ever had and i definitely will return for the pancakes. .“

“The food and service is almost always excellent, though there has been the rare time or two that the service was mediocre, and there was once that the food wasn't bad, just wasn't as good as usual either. I have a regular breakfast (hot cocoa with whipped cream and a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream) and, if we get our usual server, he's right on it. The waffle is perfect, the strawberries are fresh (none of that canned, syrupy stuff), and there's usually a decent amount of whipped cream. In the off-season, they offer smaller meals for <$10 from 7-9 AM.“

“Great food and prices! Try it out! Support your local restaurants!“

“The food is great! Warm inviting atmosphere 💫“

“This is the best place to have breakfast. The food is great and the staff is wonderful. I look forward to going there whenever I am on the Cape even on a daily basis :)“

“This place has had a complete makeover. Bright and cherry inside. Waitress was wonderful as was the food. Espresso martinis were 5 stars. Will be back“

“I bet I know what you need. You need a little outing. Yes, you might consider stopping at Jack's Outback. Why? Because it is what makes the day much more pleasant. Jack's is tucked cozily back from the road, you may miss it if you are not careful. Yet, where else are you going to get beautiful surroundings, a lovely pet to greet you, the best breakfast or lunch and waitresses that are so accommodating that you feel welcome as if they were waiting for your arrival. We have enjoyed their company and eats for years: the restaurant is spotless, the meals are excellently prepared and the company is lovely. The owner has adapted to the COVID 19 restrictions far and above what was required. And as the restrictions set in, she became more inventive. Her goal, how to make the journey a pleasant one, though we were all very frightened, I am sure she was to, but she did all she could to protect us and give us a breather if just for a few minutes. Thank you Donna.“

“It is out go to place when friends and family are in town because there is something for everyone and the food is consistently delicious. Our waitress this last visit was new to serving and she was really nice. Thank you for serving us Silviane.“

“Nice people working there.“

“So I stopped by the Blue Moon Restaurant on Main Street, Hyannis, Cape Cod, MA just the other day. It was my first time going there. I sat at the bar area to eat, they have outside dining also apart from the tables inside. It was around 3pm and there were a few other diners, it was past the lunch rush. Anyway I was greeted by a gentleman at the door who held it open for me as I was using a walker. Once that I had sat down at the bar I was greeted by the bartender Maria whom was also the manager. Maria presented both their drink menu and food menu. She kindly offered me some help with food selections and suggestions, which I didn't need because I'm a chef. I ordered a Modelo beer since it would compliment my food order. I ordered the quesadilla with chicken, shrimp and carne asada. It was quite a large quesadilla cut into three slices accompanied by some finely chopped lettuce and chives with a nice dollop of sour cream. It was simply delicious with the flavor combination and the right amount of cheese. I could only eat 2 slices and I took the other slice home which I enjoyed eating that night..it was great even when cold. Maria was super friendly and nice. The menu was nicely extensive with plenty of choices including tacos, burritos etc...oh I almost forgot to mention the nachos and salsa that Maria brought to me at the beginning...yum..The restrooms were very clean and smelled great too.
The prices were quite good also. So if you are looking to have a nice and tasty experience I recommend The Blue Moon Restaurant and make sure you ask for Maria.“

“I would go here even if I didn’t need to go to the airport. The Green Island Smoothie was the best smoothie I’ve had on the Cape. All the ingredients were so fresh and delicious. Service was quick, and everyone who works there is so nice. Highly recommend“

“Many thanks to Audrey and her team for catering our end-of-summer party. The food was amazing and everything was set up perfectly by Audrey herself. It's REALLY hard to find good barbeque on The Cape, so it was a real treat. We will definitely be using Porky's (Cape Cod Special Events) again.“
