Always amazing food and service! We are so sad that they are closing. This has been such a quintessential Cape Cod staple for decades. It's too bad - we will miss you!

Had an 8:30 recreation on Halloween. Was told the kitchen was closed and turned away when I arrived.

Great atmosphere, I did not eat there but had some cocktails, which were great!
My first time there signed up to do karaoke thru the bar code and added my song to queue before 10pm ....I was never called...was there until 1am and nothing. Other ppl were going 2 /3 times up to sing....a little disappointed.

The wings were great, the fried rice tasted good, but the rice was so poorly executed we ate almost none of it. It was glopy and lumpy, as if they hadn’t washed it before cooking and then for an added measure of awful, they over cooked it.

Excellent asian fusion! Probably our 4th time there this season! Took friends who were always skittish about going - they loved it!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this establishment and would not recommend it to anyone. The atmosphere was chaotic and poorly managed, creating an unpleasant environment for patrons. The service was absolutely terrible - the staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional throughout our visit. They seemed completely disinterested in providing basic customer service and were openly dismissive of guests’ requests. Save your money and time by choosing literally any other venue in the area.

The meal was excellent. Amazing pork din dan noodles, clam chowder, and fish and chips. Dessert less impressive. Chocolate “panna cotta” was nothing of the sort - simply salty chocolate pudding. Churros salty but yummy.

The worst meal I've ever had in Ptown. Wife and I agree we'll never be back. Service was really good, food was sub par at best. Wife's burger was a pre pressed Patty. My seafood pasta had absolutely no flavor at all.

Fast-forward eight years didn’t even remember I’ve been here This review is based on the bartender that was here today on 16 August 2025 at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. There were only six people at the bar. My wife and I sat down. He made two drinks in front of us walked past us five times never even looked at us or said I’ll be with you in a minute, so we got up and left. Go someplace else. There are plenty of friendly bars in the area.

The Governor Bradford's new Izakaya menu is outstanding and a welcome addition to the Provincetown restaurant scene. It is unpretentious, reasonably priced and offers a variety of plates ranging from makis to bao buns, grilled cheese with kimchee, and more. There is something for everyone, though the menu leans Asian.

ok... first of all, apparently this place is owned by the same person who owns a great bar in Brookline, MA. So when I realized that, I was excited! The food and service was great, but my FAVORITE food of the WHOLE weekend was the CORN RIBS on the appetizers!! Seriously if you go here, you have to get them! They're like street corn on crack!! We got them as an appetizer, but I literally would have been happy with a whole 'nother plate of them for dinner. Plus, the patio was a great vibe, next to the main road but separated by plants, lights and a fence. (PS dog friendly patio but we didn't have our pup with us on this trip - he needed to sleep!)

This place is really fun New England Asian fusion. The food was very solid and our server was terrific. You've got to give the corn ribs a try. We were skeptical but they are really tasty! The bao buns were great and the vegetable appetizers were well done.

Better than ever! From the beer selection to the yummy Japanese inspired menu.
Smash Burger, corn ribs, hand rolls, fried chicken bun, dan dan noodles. Smoked bluefish Caesar salad. And then ofcourse the karaoke and drag shows! Superb.

Easily the best meal we had so far in Ptown. The corn ribs were amazing. Lots of clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian options!

I am a local and have not gone to The Governor Bradford for dinner in years. My husband and I and some friends went a few weeks ago and the food was amazing. It was probably the best Thai food that I had on the cape. I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for good Thai restaurant. I heard they have a new chef and he is doing a great job.
