Restaurants in Brewster

“We had the rueben and some chicken wings. Both yummy. Great fries and not too many. Hot and crunchy. It was a rainy night and the AC was blowing on us. I'm guessing it's a good atmosphere for a warm summer day but for us cold, not helped by a table of heavily drinking golfers who were loud, and super crude. The hard surfaces amplified their noise. We should have sat with everyone else at the other end of the restaurant with everyone else. It was too late by the time we figured it out. Staff was awesome. Tara and Mike.”

“Visited for the first time after making a phone reservation more than a week ago - this place is very popular! Super friendly welcome, peaceful and calm atmosphere. We had two pasta mains that were very well made, al dente pasta, flavorful sauce. Very cozy on a chilly night. Service is perhaps a little slow but they want to make you feel comfortable and not rushed. Will definitely come back when we visit cape cod again!”

“I had the turkey club special. Turkey, tomatoes, red onion and avocado on sourdough. It's been awhile since I was able to get back to them and it was worth the wait. The people are friendly and service was great. I will be back next year.”

“Awesome food, atmosphere, and fabulous service!!!!”

“The best dog around out riding the trail great stop”

“the calzones we ordered were amazing. One bbq chicken and the other was buffalo chicken and they were perfection. I can't wait to go back and order their pizza.”

“Excellent coffee and great pours !”

“Visited for the first time this past week. We were 8 adults and 3 children. Food was amazing, large portions, served quickly. Counter and server staff were very friendly… handicap accessible as well. We will definitely be back next year. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Outstanding food. Nice atmosphere. Excellent waitstaff! Definitely a new favorite.”

“We’ve been coming here for almost 30 years and have loved every moment. We don’t expect perfection, but we always get perfection as we feel it is. Maybe the staffing was difficult at times during Covid, but they always tried their hardest and we were very happy. And the food is always delicious. We love to come here, and not only feel lucky to be able to, but also feel fortunate to bring family members and friends who have enjoyed and love the restaurant too.”

“We have eaten here several times this summer. Each time everything was excellent, food, drinks, service and of course the view! Soooo much better than The Ocean Terrace at half the price.”

“Great vibes and one of the best brick oven pizzas I've ever had - two years in a row! Worth the wait. I think about this pizza when I'm not even at the Cape. 🤭”

“this is the best place to ever exist. go here. seriously.”

“This is a take-out/delivery restaurant, but you can also sit and eat inside. If you do that however, you should know you’ll have all plastic plates, etc.

Now, the food was very good! We all really enjoyed the sushi! It was just right in every way and you can see the Chef takes pride in their artistry.

Great meal! Next time we’ll just take it to go :)).”

“Excellent food, excellent customer service. staff was great ....great menu selection!”

“Just stopped here for our last breakfast out on our way home from our week stay. The gift shop is beautiful, and the bakery is so worth the visit. I grabbed a variety of muffins and scones for my family, and all items were delicious and fresh. Everything about the Hopkins House Bakery has put it at the top of my must-visit-again list.”

“Gorgeous, enormous pastries that each fully embodied its character. Everybody loved the Brewster Bun for its tenderness inside and balanced cinnamon sugar coating. Displays were a feast for the eyes and the staff were so friendly and patient with us while we decided.”

“THINGS TO DO: We obviously had a rental car (from Hyannis Airport), and it was massively helpful/useful as we used it constantly. For us, the Villages was a unique, affordable (most of the top properties are at least $1K/night) "home base" for us in the Brewster/Hyannis/Barnstable/Provincetown area. We had a 3-night stay and deliberately didn't do a ton at Villages or Mansion (though there is certainly a plethora of options). We had dinner one night at Linx (which was okay - not bad, but not super memorable) and then another night at the Ocean Bar to watch the sunset (this is a MUST do as it is the best spot at either Villages or Mansion to see the sunset) -- food was decent here.

At Britterige Village (part of the Villages), we were within easy walking distance of several excellent cafes, such as Snowy Owl Cafe, Kitchen Cafe, and JT's Seafood. We ate at all of these (especially for either breakfast or coffee at the Snowy Owl Cafe and Kitchen Cafe), and it was a nice change to simply walk back/forth.

We also did a day trip to Provincetown (highly, highly recommended) where we had both breakfast and lunch. Another day we visited local friends in Barnstable for an evening BBQ.

Pro dessert tip: Check out "Eat Cake 4 Breakfast," which is a famous bakery nearby for delicious treats!

We deliberately didn't use the pools or beach, etc., but appreciated that we were able to access the Mansion private beach, despite staying at the Villages during the Memorial Day-Labor Day timeframe where generally you can't do this if you're at the Villages.

STAFF: This is the "secret sauce" of any solid property, and Ocean Edge is no different. The GM Robert Newman was very gracious, and special thanks to Marc Bauman (resort manager) who kept an eye on us and was super helpful with our small requests. Also thank you to Michael Medeiros for helping us arrange a private pickleball lesson.

Everyone else we encountered during our stay would have a smile, and deliberately did what was possible to go the extra mile. For example, I recall when we were trying to get food/drinks ordered at the busy Ocean Bar, and a kind male server/bartender spotted us and ran over to take our order.

The housekeeping also seemed efficient and timely.

VILLAGES V. MANSION: We haven't ever stayed at the Mansion so can't comment on the difference, but think of both of them as massive college campuses that are about 4-5 blocks (~0.4-0.5 miles) apart from each other. There is a constant shuttle loop from Villages.

The Mansion is definitely where there is "more action" -- a gigantic lawn where tons of folks are playing games, eating food, chilling on chairs, etc., and far more eateries/restaurants, a private beach, etc.

But, like the Villages -- it is also super spread out and you need to plan to do a ton of walking.

ROOM/APT: My wife and I really loved the "apartment" style hotel-room with a spacious living room and kitchen. We knew the setup in advance, so we deliberately went to a Trader Joe's near the Hyannis airport and got some small groceries like yogurt, fruit, water, etc.

We correctly predicted that water wouldn't be provided in the room (other than by tap) so we were glad to get water bottles.

TV/WIFI: A nice touch that Netflix is loaded onto the TV as we signed into our account and enjoyed a nightly Netflix watching to help us wind down. A tiny point, but I would have liked the bedroom TV to be as large as the living room TV, but not a big deal.

AC: Many, many reviews here comment about the "loud" AC units. This is true. However, we are from New York City and sleep with an AC unit on and the occasional sirens blaring (though we are on a very high floor). You do need to adjust the AC units”

“Laurinos is a go to restaurant when you want something for everyone! Some favorites: Big Mac pizza w/cauli-crust, wedge salad, tasty burger, fish sammy, veggie quesadilla, steak tips & music on Monday!”

“Cool place to hang and throw darts.”

“Natesha was great! Great service all night and super professional with allergy concerns”

“We had the most incredible wedding experience at Ocean Edge!!! Working with the wedding venue coordinator, Ana Goulet, Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, MA was FANTASTIC!From the very beginning, she was attentive, organized, and truly listened to our vision for the big day. She made sure every detail was taken care of, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the process. The communication was always clear, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, both before and during the wedding. Ana’s professionalism and warmth was unmatched, and we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. Our wedding day was flawless, thanks in large part to her expertise and dedication. Highly recommend this venue and coordinator! Emily & Chris 10.11.2024”
