“We have been regulars for years and we are all very satisfied with our orders from there. Tonight was great! Everyone ate everything!! A couple of us really like the pretzel bites and cheese!! Nachos were perfect 👌 I love how the menu has slightly changed to more of a variety of different foods. Great Job!!“

“One of my favorite breakfast restaurants! Love the omelets, pancakes and the TOAST! Homemade and delicious! Everyone is always friendly and it’s so clean !“

“We LOVE Ann & Fran’s. Best breakfast on the Cape. Their fresh squeezed OJ is a treat, their fresh baked goods are amazing, and the menu items are unique and so so delicious! When the lemon poppy waffle with blueberry compote is on the specials menu, get it!“

“For an unparalleled dining experience on Cape Cod, look no further than this distinguished restaurant, where the elegant dining room overlooks Nantucket Sound, creating a sensation akin to dining on a luxury cruise ship amidst the majestic ocean swells of Dennis. The exceptional cuisine is further enhanced by the Omakase, a carefully selected array of five seasonal small plates prepared by the chef, utilizing only the freshest, locally sourced, and organic ingredients. #summah2024 #oceanhouseresturant #omakase see photo captions for cuisine details.“

“Just left Scargo We’ve been patrons of your restaurant for many years, often at the bar. Food is always consistent and delicious. Tonight was good news and bad news. On the bad news, Debbie at bar was abrupt, not friendly and a disappointment from what we are use to. On the very good news, CJ was fantastic. Personable, quick, friendly and knows how to interact with customers. We hope it’s all good news next time.“

“Note that this review is only for the restaurant.

We always enjoy dinners at Spinnaker. The food is artfully prepared and very flavorful. Tonight I had a delicious striped bass. The kitchen was kind enough to substitute roast potato’s for the listed mashed and they, too, were delicious. In addition to the potatoes, the fish was served with garlic green beans, tomato confit, and an asparagus puree that elevated the bass. Service was friendly and timely. We had a lovely evening.“

“We went on a date night here last night and it was so good we took our family and mother in law back here tonight. Food was SO good and service was great- both our waitresses were super sweet. My mother in law said it was the best flatbread she has ever had and I absolutely loved the ceviche. We will definitely be back when we are in the cape again!“

“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 😝“

“I have been going here since I got a summer place here five years ago and never had a bad meal. It is always been exceptional which I didn’t expect from a bar restaurant, It’s much more than that. My boyfriend‘s been coming here since they opened. He lives here full-time and it’s a place he can go to even go in the winter and always know he’s going to have a good meal and the owner Bob and his son Jason are just wonderful people..
he has some of the best service staff on the Cape which says a lot about how he treats them and keeps them happy .
They added some new things to the menu and I have to a recommend for an appetizer they had this shrimp with avocado on a Cristini that was amazing and their pork shank on polenta was absolutely to die for!“

“Chef Matt Lyon kills it! Highly recommend!“

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

“It is our favorite go to restaurant. The food is always prepared to perfection and the staff is outstanding ❤️“

“Lovely staff and a beautiful environment“

“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 😋😋😋“

“Everyone is so nice and the food is good!“

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

“Having dined at Il Montebelo (Dining on the property), many times and looking out at the golf course I have always wanted to play it. I finally made a tee time with a friend and recently played it. I was not disappointed. While it is a shorter course, with only 1 par 5, 3 par 4’s and the rest part 3’s, it taps out at a deceiving par 60 for 18 holes. It is surrounded by woods and lots of trees on each hole and there are over 400 residences on the property as well, many overlooking the golf course. We were lucky enough to have been paired up with a gentleman who had played it a few times before and that was very helpful. The course is very spread out and has a long distance between some greens to the next tee. There are numerous hills, so unless you are a mountain goat, I don’t think you’d enjoy walking it. I always walk my relatively flat 9 hole course with no difficulty, but I would recommend you not walk this course. There are numerous hills, dog legs, bunkers galore, heavy rough, etc. to make this challenging for even a good golfer. The course is in great shape and the greens were excellent. There are trees everywhere, no ocean views as this is located a ways from the bay side, but on that side of the Cape. Right off Rt.6A. I think if you like a challenge you’ll enjoy Kings Way. If you have the time try dining at Il Montebelo too. If not come back and try it another time. I believe it is open all year.“

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

“We were at The Auld Triangle this past Saturday. The food, drink and atmosphere were fantastic. The wait staff was amazing. The music was unbelievable. Keohane and Kenneally played great Irish tunes and music from the 70s, 80s, etc. If you have not seen them play, make it a point to The Auld to hear them play. You need try The Auld Triangle. You will not be disappointed, and will become a regular, which I am going to become.“

“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.“

“Don't let the construction stop you from having the best breakfast around. Generous portions and reasonably priced. Pete, the owner, is always there to fill your coffee cup!!!“

“Great place to relax and enjoy a great burger, awesome wait staff. We stop by every year in summer time. If you're ever in Cape cod, you should definitely put KKayie's Burger Bar on your must visit list. The wait staff was friendly and helpful, and attentive. We both enjoyed the food that they offer. Cooked to perfection and very flavorful.“

“Friendly and inviting staff Awesome spirits Divine entrees“

“Delicious meal ; great service!!“

“Got the GCG, it was bacon tomato and cheese, incredible. I could eat two easily. The other stuff on the menu looked amazing too, seemed like there was a variety of different things everyone was ordering. Food came out hot and quick, the woman even delivered it to us as we sat on the patio and relaxed. Staff was very friendly.

I wouldn’t mind a pickle or maybe a few fries too for the price but honestly with or without a small side thrown in I’d order again no questions.“

“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. ❤️“

“Grumpy’s was a great experience from start to finish! Tina was friendly, attentive, funny with a lovely smile and made us feel welcome the entire time. Our breakfast was delicious and very filling. If you’re looking for a place you will return to year after year I definitely recommend Grumpy’s!“

“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!“

“Perfect spot right on Glendon Rd, only 2 min walk to the beach!“

“We love Red River Barbecue. Their food is delicious. We’ve tried their wings, brisket, smoked prime rib, ribs, and the crème brûlée … it’s all been amazing. Their specials are also great. And they have a really nice staff. M“

“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.“

“We are looking to buy a home in the Dennis- Yarmouth area. We will be back for lunch around 2 tomorrow 3-2-2024. We found your restaurant last month while shopping at Marshall's. Everything was excellent, food, drinks , waitress I have to say thou how impressed we were with your host. What a nice young man, very polite and well mannered. Kudos to his parents. I forgot his name, but it was around 2ish.“

“A place on the beach, cow themed, a Pride flag out front and FIFA game on the TVs - this place was perfect atmosphere and super friendly staff. Sam, our server, was very accommodating of our grandkids, despite having a very busy section, and the food was delicious. Cape Cod fare. Chowda was rich and delicious ❤“

“Wings are AMAZING! Best wings on The Cape!, there’s no comparison!!! JADE is the most welcoming employee they have! She always has a smile on her face, willing to answer questions and always friendly! If she isn’t the biggest asset to DJ’s wings then I don’t know what is!“

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

“Yummy burgers 🤗 Great place to visit, and talk.“

“High quality food at a fair price. Food was out in 12 minutes. Healthy portions. It’s clear that lots of thought goes into this food. The lady who served me was super nice. Will definitely be going here again.“

“Six member out of state Family reunion dinner Clancy’s restaurant on September 19, 2022. Menu selections are wonderful Food was excellent Service was outstanding , Leary our waiter was the best.

“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.“

“We have been coming to Cape Cod every year since 2017 and staying at our timeshare at The Cove, and I cannot express how happy we are to have The Sunset Restaurant right across the street!

Over the years, this has become one of those places we truly look forward to visiting every time we come back. The staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. The food is consistently delicious, with great portions and that wonderful homemade feel. My wife especially loves the home fries! 😋

This year, I also want to give a special thank you to Kay. We wish you nothing but the very best on your journey ahead, and we sincerely hope to see you again when we return next year.

Thank you to everyone at The Sunset Restaurant for always being part of our Cape Cod vacation memories. After coming here year after year since 2017, it truly feels like one of our traditions. Highly recommended! ❤️☀️🍳“

“One of our favorite dinners when we visit the cape. The staff is always very friendly, the view is spectacular, the drinks are tasty, and the food is delicious.“
