Staff was attentive and owner very hands on. It is a very well run machine and it shows. We wanted for nothing. Had everything in a timely manner. Pretzel wIas great & clam chowder delicious!

“Been hoping to get here for a little while now..girls trip seemed perfect to try especially since my friend has a gluten free diet to adhere to and that can be so very challenging while dining out...first off we learned an order of fried clams can be made in a GF way and fried in separate oil...they were just delicious, crunchy, light. I think my friend Kathy said...you dont know how happy I am right now...that was awesome❤️...we had the most amazing server..never caught her name but she couldn't have been more accommodating and informative...they offer an early bird special between 4 and 6 with many options along with the addition of salad or chowder to start along with their incredibly interesting menu to choose from..chowder was flavorful and very creamy...warm rolls served also...yummy...we all had something different ..steak tips, BBQ Ribs, pork tenderloin and chicken..and as pedestrian as that may sound...the dinners were perfectly cooked with accompanying lovely sauces, homemade whipped potatoes and veggies which were cooked exactly how they should be...crunchy not soft and seasoned well...something simple done with a skilled hand is perfection...desserts...I am a dessert snob..I love to bake and I now only order dessert if they are made in house..and they are here...we had the unfried ice cream, the key lime pie and the smores in a jar...well...those were all stellar...my friend could have the unfried ice cream as it's made in a GF style..so nice to be able.to see her order food that isn't just salad and a bunless burger..so happy for the owners here that are pouring their hearts and souls into a fabulous new dining destination for the Yarmouth area...they have also done a beautiful job with the redesign and decor..cozy and inviting..can not wait to return...open Tuesday thru Saturday for dinner...get here and compliment the chef...he is rocking this place❤️“

“Great place very friendly, food very good! Have the try the Portuguese Kale soups, I make it an it’s the best I had!!!!“

“Can I give it more than five stars? The best burgers that I have had in quite some time, perfectly cooked. The fries were so amazing. We had the fried Mozzarella it was so delicious. The wait staff was very friendly. Would definitely go again. Very reasonable prices.“

“Absolutely LOVE this place. I first went out to dinner at this restaurant with my younger brother and my mother last year. I got a chicken/veal parmesan the first time and it rocked. The second time I went (September 3rd), I got spaghetti and meatballs, and it was the bomb 😋😋😋“

“I wish I could recommend the Ho. This was my go-to spot for almost 20 years. They took out their beer taps, reduced the menu options, and the quality of the food has gone downhill. Very disappointing!“

“One of my all time favorites. Food and service - The best!!! Beautiful views. Adjacent airfield is busy enough to be very entertaining with historic aircraft, skydiving, airplane banner towing, and a remote control model aircraft club providing crazy aerobatics.“

“Excellent golf course layout with a fun but challenging course which is in excellent condition.Bunkers are strategically placed making the approach to greens also challenging.You will not be disappointed.After golf you can go restaurant on property for a beer or meal.I played many rounds and keep coming back.“

“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.“

“If I were on death row I am pretty sure I would choose your beef short rib hash and eggs special for my last meal. Seriously the best breakfast I’ve ever had- please put this on your regular menu 😝“

“Friendly staff and great food and drink . Local haunt“

“We had such a great time, the food and service was top notch. The drinks were fantastic, our calamari app was gobbled up in minutes. Our entire table was raving about the chowder and broccoli cheddar soups and our seafood platters were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Samatha was wonderful, very patient and accomodating. This was the best dining experience we had on our trip. Thank you so much we'll be back again!“

“Parking: We went in my mom's car n she had a sticker on it she lives down the cape n is a senior so I'm really not sure i try to go down as much as i can but had my own problems as i was in the hospital for 2 months this yr 2022 i passed away for 6 min then went into a coma for 3 wks lost my organs ended up on dialisis all caused from pnemino had a liter of fluid behind my heart“

“AMAZING gluten free coconut blueberry French toast! Absolutely adorable atmosphere with authentic service. If you’re looking for a casual, laid back joint in the heart of the cape this is the place! Very popular for a good reason so I suggest earlier the better for a decent spot.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free and dairy-free

Parking: Parking lot“

“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. 🌸🌸🌸“

“Breakfast was delicious! Highly recommend the coconut French toast. Friendly staff“

“This place is hands down the absolute best!! The clam chowder was incredible and Matt, the bartender was funny, attentive and helpful! We are out of towners from Texas and huge foodies. It was all good!! We will absolutely be back. ❤️“

“Just the best food in town. Amazing service. Killer oysters and oyster chowder and an A5 Waygu to die for!“

“The owner actually walks around and checks to see if things are good with customers. We enjoyed the BBC in the past. But look forward to a lot more good times here!“

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

“Chicken noodle soup was so good I had to grab two pints before coming back to NY and a shirt. The staff is always so nice and welcoming. Met the guy who made the soup, he knew I was traveling with it so he hooked me up with a huge bag of ice and put the bag together. The one lady bagged the noodles separate so they couldn't absorb the soup, really kind thoughtful people.“

“We had dinner at The Pheasant, the service was warm and professional, the surroundings were intriguing and welcoming and the food….. the food was thoughtful, creative, and downright delicious. It’s the kind of meal where you talk about the taste, keep sharing bites and keep eating long past when you are satiated because it just tastes and feels so good. So many places fall down on the wine list and pairing knowledge, this is not the case at The Pheasant. Texture, taste, ingredients, presentation, wine pairings, all were spot on! Can’t wait to dine there again. Just do yourself a favor and dine there as well!“

“Cove Coastal Kitchen is a great addition to Main Street Hyannis, an area known as a foodie destination. Mediocre establishments simply don't survive the competition. This new restaurant raises the bar. Food, service, atmosphere and value are all fantastic. Don't miss out on trying something new.“

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

“Loved the arcade games and retro items like movie posters. Food was all yummy and prices were great. Place would have been totally rad except they were playing a modern movie and modern music. Points definitely lost, totally took away from the theme!“

“Friendly staff, flavorful food and delicious coffee.“

“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 :)“

“Kicking myself for not having stopped in before. It's one of those places that if you drive by and blink you'd miss it, but definitely worth a visit. Service was extremely friendly and prompt, never once did I have to ask for refill on coffee, and the Portuguese Benedict with home fries was a home run. I usually find a lot of places don't nail the hollandaise sauce well, this place is an exception. Home fries were cut thin so they packed more flavor than regular ones. Loved the fact that the decor was older, do not modernize! Definitely will be coming back.“

“Delicious food and service! The chef served us our dinner and recommended a perfect wine to complement the dish! Our server was attentive and answered all of our questions. We will definitely return.“

“the server heather was fun caring and loved my mom ty“

“We walked by and noticed it was Taco Tuesday & ordered chicken, carne asada & goat. All were excellent but the goat was a stand out (the marinade could have been a delicious mole) and soft corn tortillas amazing. This is authentic & fresh Mexican food. Will definitely stop by again!“

“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“
