Mad Minnow is an absolute gem in the heart of Harwich Port! This wonderful, kid-friendly spot has truly found its place as a staple in the community, thanks to the creativity and dedication of its current owners.

The service is fantastic! The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making every visit a great experience. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, you can soak in the charming atmosphere no matter where you sit. There’s just something about Mad Minnow that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Mad Minnow is an absolute gem. Awesome menu and great beer selection. Service was top notch, shout out Brenna! Lobster mac and cheese was phenomenal. Will definitely be back!

Mad Minnow is tucked away just behind a couple of shops and our family of 4 was able to get in for lunch without a wait. The food was tasty and the service was very attentive. The cocktails were very creative and unusual - you could tell the bartenders take pride in creating the drinks that they serve. Parking was a big challenge though, which is more of a town issue and not specific to the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal would come back!

Waiting outside at large outdoor bar area was convenient. Scallops gnocchi and seared tuna both got rave reviews. Burger excellent as well.

Food was very nice, fish and fries was very fresh. Marked down a little on service as if eating outside you have to go to the bar to order. But overall a nice place with return.
Kid-friendliness: Kid portions are large and seem good quality eg Mac n cheese and chicken fingers were both very good. Water cups with lids for kids also and highchairs

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Mad Minnow in Harwich, and we were fortunate enough to be served by Brenna. Our girls' night out was a special occasion, as it marked nearly 30 years of close friendship, catching up amidst our busy lives and families. Although we reside in Dennis, we decided to venture to Harwich for dinner, a decision that was nearly marred by a frightening Uber ride where we narrowly avoided an accident. This close call could have drastically changed the course of our lives.
Arriving at the restaurant, still shaken, we were greeted by Brenna, who immediately put us at ease. Her kindness, warmth, and knowledge of the menu were a balm to our frayed nerves. She not only helped us navigate the menu with expert recommendations but also brought a lightness to our evening with her infectious laughter and genuine care.
Brenna is truly a gem, embodying everything you could hope for in a server. She made our night unforgettable, transforming what began as a nerve-wracking experience into one filled with joy and laughter. We are so grateful for her and will certainly be returning, hoping to see her again.
Thank you, Brenna, for turning our evening into a beautiful memory. You are amazing!
Wife had a burger and I had the curry salmon. Both were very good. Service was excellent and our food was served fairly quickly. Highly recommend.

Wonderful restaurant. Great food. My family looks forward to coming here every year. However, we have noticed the portion sizes for certain items has reduced, most notably the mac and cheese, which many people in my family adore. Id say the current portion is about 2/3 of what it was 3 years ago.

Mad Minnow is the ultimate summertime destination, whether you're looking for post-beach cocktails and apps or a full dinner. The experience here is consistently amazing. With both outdoor and indoor dining options, plus a charming outdoor bar (cocktails are ordered inside), you can choose the perfect setting to relax and enjoy. The food is nothing short of incredible, and the extensive drink menu ensures that there's something for everyone. While parking can be tricky during peak hours, especially in the summer, it's well worth doing a few laps to secure a spot. Mad Minnow is a must-visit for a fantastic dining experience.

Food was good. Service was fantastic. Put some sound absorption tiles on the ceiling and remove this tomfoolery from your menu and it would be a five

I went in for a quick bite and left thoroughly impressed. Clam chowder and poutine were fantastic! Indoors is great but the outdoor area is a tremendous atmosphere and really added to my experience. Waitress Jenna was extremely polite, enthusiastic and answered all of my dietary questions. 10/10 recommend for anyone in the Harwich area!
