The breakfast reminded us of being at home and the staff were kind, making us feel welcome and providing us with tips on places to visit. We dined there three out of the four days we were in town, only skipping the last day because we had to leave early. They only accept cash, but that didn't bother us at all. We enjoyed listening to the conversations of the locals coming in and out, discussing life in the area. Overall, it was a great experience!

I highly recommend eating here - the food is affordable and the atmosphere is fantastic. Just be aware that they only accept cash. Their clam chowder is the best I've had in a long time, and their fish and chips are equally delicious. Make sure to order some fried dough as well - I recommend topping it with butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and syrup.

The service was efficient and welcoming. Despite the rainy weather, we enjoyed delicious grilled sandwiches and chowder. We would definitely return.
