My family visits Truro every year and eats at Top Mast at least once during our trip. Generally a great experience. Last night we decided to order takeout and eat our food on the beach. The website said it would take 30-45 minutes for our food to be ready so I placed the order specifically with that timing in mind to plan our evening. When the text came *15 minutes* later saying my food was already ready, my kids were still in the pool. By the time I got them out, dried them off, got them changed and drove to the cafe, our food had been sitting out on the racks (not even under any warning lights) for almost a half hour. It was like cold cardboard. And I got the wrong drink. Three meals, $85, and we barely ate anything. We are staying at a motel and don't even have a microwave to try to salvage anything.
I usually like Top Mast, and my kids like the tradition of visiting and feeding the koi, but I'm really angry about this recent experience and spending so much on cold food. The website ordering process should show accurate timing - or none at all.

36 minutes still no coffee……. Not that busy but this is always the problem here. Great food loved the pancakes and homefries but service forgets and doesnt acknowledge people sitting for long periods!! Just need a coffee….. still waitinf and asked 2x now.
Enjoy Your Day

We love top mast cafe. We visit north truro every august and we have to stop at this café at least once. The ladies who run the café are always super friendly, the food is good, and my favorite part? The koi fish pond right in the middle of the outdoor seating. You can feed them and they are gorgeous. Perfect little spot across the street from the ocean for a good breakfast. Not expensive either.

I own a condo across the street. I love having the great food at Top Mast and friendly staff nearby. Breakfasts are always better when you have fresh food and a great varsity like at Top Mast. I also enjoy their fish dinners. When my family visits we eat here and then walk the trail next door. The outdoor dining at Top Mast makes for a lovely experience.

Always a wonderful experience. Great food with an excellent variety. Polite and professional staff. Ocean view atmosphere, lush flower gardens, koi pond, and more. Lobster Benedict is awesome, Friday Night Fish Fry is the best, but man, if you like cheeseburgers, don't leave without getting one. Be sure you're hungry because they are 1/2 pounders!

This place went down hill comparatively to last year. The eggs were watery, the waitress kept forgetting us and the food is simply different. The Portuguese scramble I got last year was not the same Portuguese scramble I got last year.

We stopped here on our drive back from Provincetown, hoping to avoid the crowds—unfortunately, we would’ve been better off going hungry.
The omelette was rubbery and greasy, and the iced latte tasted like watered-down milk with a splash of coffee. The pancake was the only remotely edible thing on the table.
Website photos and descriptions are completely misleading—this is basically a cheap motel breakfast masquerading as something better. We paid the check and left everything (except the pancake) untouched, and no one even asked if something was wrong.
I honestly don’t understand how this place has positive reviews. Avoid.
The service was good and the food too, but they charge top prices for a meal that is nothing to write home about.

Every year we stay at Top Mast Resort and eat our breakfast daily at the cafe. The food and vibe are unmatched. Literally everything we order is delish!

Asked for dry scrambled. Got wet. Home fries good. Dry toast, had to ask for butter. Had to ask for refill of coffee. Had to ask for check. Not sure if I would go back. Felt ignore because I was a woman dining alone.

Portions of side dishes were very small. I was going to order more food, but they never came back to check on us even though they were not busy at all.
