10. Big Dog's Bbq at Orleans Bowling Center
Overall Ratings
4 based on 121 reviews
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.

The food was really good. The service was really good too. However they should offer more substitutes for food options. Also, when you order the whole lobster they should make it easier to get the meat out (make more cuts so it breaks easier and able to grab the meat better). It was also overpriced but I think thatâs the way seafood is.

If you miss this restaurant youâre missing one of the best treats in the whole town. If you like meet local places this is it. Itâs been in business for many years and is busier now than it ever was. Try the fried oysters. Excellent beer menu also

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 wasnât 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.

If you see a line~WAIT! It goes fast and is worth your time. Besides donuts, there are breakfast specials and an amazing line of coffees. The breakfast pastries will call your name. Even if you are determined not to get anything~you cannot walk away empty handed. Great shop!

We finally made it to this popular stop in Orleans and we werenât 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.

Our group of six friends met at Beacon for dinner ahead of a chamber music festival concert. We'd never been before, but we were delighted. Everything we ordered from the limited menu was wonderful, especially the sole with a light curry sauce and grapes (sensational). Though full,the dining room was quiet enough that we could hear each other with ease. Our waitress was professional and helpful. We'll no doubt come back many times.

Vers, meaning "fresh" in Dutch, is a vibrant and casually elegant restaurant, located in downtown Orleans, offering a modern American menu that embraces regional seasonality and freshness. Come join us for an entertaining night out!

VERS VERS VERS VERS VERS! SHAMELESS. Zero food porn decorum. Zero fine dining decorum. The presentation, the techniques, quality ingredients, down to earth service and an "owner/manager" running around like the roadrunner, tending to everyone and every detail as a good Captain of the finest Ship. I don't know where to start! The hamachi crudo was not only beautiful but well portioned. The cornmilk panna cota-type terrine served with beautifully seared scallops and "lettuce juice" was so light and ethereal, refreshing. The tuna tartare layered over veal tartare and geoduck... SERIOUSLY? INSANE. Loren, our server (veggie girl turned pescetarian...) was lovey and professional with an eye for wine palate and pairing. I enjoyed a beautiful Sancerre with an exquisitely prepared Monkfish. I have to agree with other Yelpers - if you are looking for a special meal without feeling shamed into "hoitiness", this 2 seasons going strong is a lovely landing pad.

The building is a beautiful historic property with very attractive dining areas. It was not our first time here. Our waiter professional with good service. My husband chose the Prix fixe for $40.00âHis first course was the Linnell chowderâquite hearty and tasty with a hint of herbs that really made it special. His prime rib was large, tender with a pepper crust and was flavorful. My âscrodâ in parchment while quite tasty did not seem to have true Maine crabmeat. It tasted more like Langostino and was orange! Maine crabmeat is not orange! It was also a bit on the salty side. I let it go, but was surprised not to taste and see Maine crabmeat as described in the menu. Our drinks were good but definitely on the expensive side at $13 and $15.!! Clementine cake was good. Overall, a good and mostly satisfying meal but not an âAâ.

1. 4940 Brickhouse Restaurant
Overall Ratings

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
