The Jailhouse Tavern

Mac Gallant and Mike McNamara have teamed up to launch the "New" Jailhouse Tavern. The new Lunch/Dinner menu is a nice combination of some of the old favorites which have been significantly enhanced in terms of quality, preparation and taste. In addition,

Good chowder, good chicken soup, good drinks.However, when one orders a dish called “heirloom tomato flatbread”, one expects some tomatoes. Honestly, 2.5 yellow grape tomatoes on a whole flatbread app? My goodness! Plus, burned black and yet, served to my husband and to me. In fairness they gladly took it off of the bill but for $14, throw me some tomatoes! (Am I going to be the “tomato lady” on TripAdvisor from now on?)

Orleans Inn

Waterfront dining in a Victorian Sea Captain's mansion or outside on our waterfront deck. Overlooking Orleans Town Cove, offering native seafood selections and American favorites.

Reviewed By John P

Our experience earlier this month was so good we went there twice...first a dinner for two, followed by six family members on the back deck overlooking the water. In both instances, we were treated extremely well, the warm hospitality matched by truly excellent seafood. My lobster salad was succulent, well-presented and the most delicious I can recall. And the multi-layer chocolate cake I had for dessert was enthusiastically attacked by grandchildren aster I had my fill. Even so we couldn't finish it.Thanks so much for your great review. We are happy that you enjoyed the experience. We love to exceed expectations. I invite anyone to rest in our lobby and listen to the thousands of happy guests as they leave the Inn. It has been the best season in our 23 years of ownership, We can't wait to see you again.

Lost Dog Pub

Reviewed By akoval

Lost Dog used to be a decent enough place to bring the family, with a variety of options at a reasonable price point. But our last two visits in as many years have gotten more and more disappointing, with uneven service and declining food quality. Go if you can't find a table elsewhere and the people in your party like bland, standard fare, but otherwise give it a pass.

This place Rocks! The food's delicious, the service excellent and the decor is the classiest around. The bar was absolutely hopping the night we were there and it just seemed like everyone in the restaurant was having a great time. Servers are attentive without being overbearing and our entire party pretty much licked our plates clean. There's plenty of parking on both sides of BNI. It's the most fun restaurant in East Orleans and we'll be back next summer!

Love this place for lunch so went for dinner Thursday night Prime Rib. Two couples, our waitress came and seemed angry. I asked about a beer they had on draft and she said, "I have NO idea!, I don't drink beer!!!" OK. My friend asked about getting the prime rib rare, and she said, " We have 3 cooking", and never answered his question. Our dinners a came and the prime rib was so tough I couldn't eat mine, and the taste was terrible. Our waitress had a bad attitude, just mean. Won't ever go back at night for dinner there.Thank you for your review. I am so sorry that your group had this experience. It is not acceptable to us and has and will continue to be addressed with all our staff. Normally, I would suggest that you let your Server know if your meal is not to your liking so that we may correct it; however, it is obvious that this was not possible this particular night. I am sorry that I was not there at the time.Our primary goal is to have happy/satisfied customers so I hope that you will give us another chance by coming back in for either lunch or dinner. I hope to meet you personally.

Big Dog's Bbq at Orleans Bowling Center

Reviewed By Musicman-sw22

We had a very tasty meal of small pulled pork sliders sandwiches, and a combo plate with brisket and pork. The homemade tasting baked beans were very flavorful and the potato salad were both yummy side dishes on the combo plate. It was too much food to eat, so I took some home. We had excellent service, with a pleasant server who checked in with us at least two times during the meal. The seating for this small restaurant includes a small bar area, high top table seating with stools, and there is a small dining area with 8 tables. If you want a nice alternative to seafood in the Orleans area, check out Big Dog's, and maybe if you have time, check out the classic duckpin bowling lanes. They have differing hours; sometimes (Friday- Sunday) open for lunch and dinner, and the other days just for dinner, so check it out on the web or call before going for lunch.

September is here and the crowds are off the Cape so it is a great time to eat out. We had a great meal and the service was great. What I also liked was there wasn’t a long wait. The prices could be a couple dollars less however it was worth it. I split a good salad and the warm bread was a treat.

Rock Harbor Grill

Reviewed By tcandcc2016

We finally made it to this popular stop in Orleans and we weren’t disappointed. Great menu; many very interesting and different choices, on top of a solid list of standard options and wood fired pizza. We tried a cod dinner over risotto and the special surf and turf option: A delicious cod fish cake and a really special chicken sausage grinder with roasted peppers, caramelized onions, and blue cheese. Really, both were exceptional! We will absolutely return but all the stories were right. VERY crowded. Try to get there early and you will have a very enjoyable mid range experience.

4940 Brickhouse Restaurant

Reviewed By JudyK288

We were having trouble finding a restaurant that was open midweek in October on a cold and rainy night and stumbled across the Brick House in Eastham. The sign is not a good representation of the atmosphere. Once inside we were pleased with the comfortable surroundings, kind of a family feel but there were no children on this night. The waitress, Juliet, was attentive and friendly. We began with a bottle of Grechetto from Umbria, Italy and it was great ($33). I had a hankering for the Buffalo cauliflower appetizer and it was great ($10). My meal was the broiled salmon special and it was a great cut cooked to perfection. My wife had the scallops with curry and we agreed it was done just right. So our total for the evening was just under $100 (plus tip) and it was a great meal in a very nice place. Recommended
