Governor Bradford Restaurant - Love This !! - Seafood Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Been coming here for years, the new owner/management needs to get a better handle on managing staff vs customers. A lot of servers standing around and customers waiting for drinks, food, attention. We ended up leaving after one drink during World Cup when we were hoping to settle in for drinks, dinner, etc for a few hours...a bit insane in such a tourist town when they should know where their main source of revenue is coming from. Hope they improve with services as much as their renovations have. read more

I'm leaving this review because I unfortunately felt discriminated against during my visit last night, and this is not the first time. After requesting our songs, we noticed that people who arrived after us were being allowed to go ahead of us. I mentioned this to the drag queen, and she responded that yes, they were being prioritized because "they leave tips," even though I was also tipping. A couple of years ago I request a song to this same Drag queen in Spanish and the answer was "we are in the United States" we don't parlay Spanish music. As a Mexican and Spanish-speaking customer, I found this comment very disrespectful and uncomfortable. I hope management takes this seriously. Everyone should feel welcome and treated equally, regardless of their language or cultural background. read more

Updated look but service is shit! Don't look up in the bathroom either, nasty! Service was absolutely shit. I was excited when I saw the renovation but service was like I didn't exist, I had to find them to get a drink at an empty bar and they appeared rather I weren't there. Idk what to say other than, yep, Gov Bradford is still a dive bar. read more

This is THE best spot in Ptown all year round. For food - they have great Japanese food with some American flare. highlights of the meal: Asparagus whiskers (yum with egg on top) corn ribs (amazing and saucy!!) chicken bao buns (crispy and perfect) pork gyoza (solid and flavorful) broccoli (great sauce with crispy onions) tots (nacho-esque, greasy in a good way) fried rice (super tasty - huge portion we split) sushi (not sure which rolls my bf got but he loved them - ronin I believe) **tons of vegetarian options Aside from the food, the bar is also great. summers they have drag karaoke every night. off season, it is weekends only. get there early to put your name down! awesome vibes and good crowds that sing along. if not karaoke, they have live music too pretty often. Pool table usually doesn't have a long wait and it's FREE! full bar with great drinks - they'll make you what you ask for and give good recommendations. service is awesome too, from dinner to bartenders to bouncers. Love this spot, ALL people are welcome :) read more

Had lunch here on a day trip to Ptown. Sat outside and Ordered the cod sandwich which was delicious . The bun was grilled just right and the fries were crispy. Great place for people watching! Server was attentive and quick. Highly recommend. read more

The bartender was awesome. So nice. Thanks J. Great place to just hang out outside. People were really friendly. Very chill.

I stopped in for a drink after work and sat at the small patio bar. Chanel was the bar tender/entertainment and was quick to take my order and made me a great Pain Killer. I was joined a short time later by my wife and we shared the chorizo cheese fondue with home made potato chips. Delicious! Service was outstanding read more

Service was extremely slow, later found out that the internet in the town was down or something but on top of that the food was terrible. $45 for a lobster roll that was doused in mayo, pretty gross. Wanted to go to the lobster pot but the line was down the street so we went here unfortunately. Would not recommend. read more

Such a fun place for karaoke and drinks! We have been coming on an annual basis and you just never know the variety of talent that can walk through the door. Karaoke doesn't start until 10:30 so they try to keep the tables available for people dining in until 10 pm. It does get full fast so try to establish a good table if you can! read more

Chanelle and Joel were amazing!!! Food was great and cocktails were perfect! A must stop in when in town!

We went to Governor Bradford restaurant on a Friday night with a reservation. This was our first time in Provincetown and the menu caught our attention. The menu and the atmosphere of the restaurant aren't what you'd expect. The restaurant gave the vibe of an old Irish pub, but the menu screams modern Japanese fusion. We sat outside and ordered a few small dishes. The asparagus was a bit spicy. The gyoza was good, but I felt like there was too much ginger in it. I enjoyed the kimchi. I was disappointed with the wagyu smash. It was a bit overcooked and lacked flavor. It was similar to grabbing a burger from a fast food restaurant. Maybe next time we'll try the sushi. Since we had sushi the night before at another restaurant , we didn't want to order sushi again. read more

Sat at the bar for some drinks and bites and WOW these cocktails are AMAZING! I tried the Lword which is lemon and lemongrass and limoncello and lavender and AMAZING!!! It's like drinking summer! My boyfriend had Bless your heart which is house brown buttered bourbon and peach and lemon SO GOOD! Jewel and Shannon were amazing & the ladies behind the cocktails, with drinks like these you two are going places!!! Keep it up ladies!! read more

My gosh, I remember this place when my shoes made squelching sounds if I crossed the floor - what a change! New owners, and we were told they're closing in a few months, then moving somewhere else. I really hope so. The sushi was the best I've had in a while; salmon sashimi? Exquisite. Limited menu but that's okay if it's great. Even the spider roll was excellent. Everything we had there was tasty, the waiters were pretty on the ball (don't go at shift change though), and the only reason I give the atmosphere a 3 is because it is what it is. I hope the new place doesn't "smarten up" too much, because it has a lot of character - but better lighting and less of a bar atmosphere would be nice. a true izakaya, now? That would be amazing!! By the way, we were told the Bradford sushi chef used to be at Mac's, which explains in part why the latter has gone downhill. read more

If you order anything it has to be the zucchini! We ordered a bunch of different things to sample (corn ribs, zucchini, tots, wings) and each got a roll. We left full and happy. Our waiter was nice and attentive and our food came hot and quick. They were also hosting a drag show during dinner which was fun. Outdoor dining area is nice as well. read more

Service was good! Cool dimly lit restaurant with a bar. Pool table, live music, bar, patio seating and TV's. I had the Onigiri. Very cool presentation. Good flavor but a little light in the lobster compared to all the rice. read more

Service and ambiance were great. Hamachi and oysters were delicious. Cesar salad had an overwhelming smoked fish taste while the chicken bao could have used a little more spice. Manhattan was delicious . Homemade kimchi is one of the best I've had. read more

I've nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. We stopped in for an early dinner after going on a Whale Watching excursion. It was not busy because it was late afternoon. The woman who seated us told my four-year-old grandson that if he wanted to play with the balls on the pool table that he could because no one else was there. I thought that was very nice of her. All of the stuff was very friendly. Everyone that stopped at the table engaged with the children.. Service was great. The food was decent. A little pricey for what it was but nothing crazy. read more

Still feels like the old Governor Bradford in some ways which is good - was concerned that the new owners would completely strip all of its old charm but that's not the case so far! Seems like now it's the same old place but with some new furniture and a new and delicious menu. We've come twice over two years and the food continues to be excellent. Service was also great! read more

Excellent food, good service, and nice outdoor patio. We were in kind of a rush, so I didn't get much of a "full experience" here, but everything was great. The chowder and oyster roll were awesome! I'd highly recommend stopping by this place! read more

We ordered a couple of things from the menu - clam chowder, bao buns, salad, salmon, sushi etc. We absolutely loved everything as it was fresh and delicious and was served by attentive wait staff. Definitely underrated on here but I am so glad the one opposite this one had a long wait-list. read more

A quick bite to eat, Squiddy wanted to try this place for years. We were surprised to find it was an Asian fusion menu. The place definitely gives an American pub vibe, like old school New England fish and chips pub. Menu threw us off, but we found some great small bites. Fries, grilled shrimp, miso soup and edamame along with a couple of beers. I enjoyed the Rothaus Pilsner and Squid had zero gravity lager. We enjoyed the food and service. Super friendly fly, willing to engage in conversation and offer recommendations. read more

Ivelina was our server and she was excellent! Super friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Get the bahn mix with the gov Bradford fries you won't regret it read more

This place is always fun. The bartenders make great drinks, it can sometimes get rowdy, and they even have karaoke and live music during certain evenings. Whenever I'm bar hopping in the area, I make sure to stop in with my friends. read more

Great food and service, though the sushi was slow. They clearly need more staff behind the sushi bar

Menu close to incomprehensible unless you're an expert in "Japanese Fusion" whatever that is. But the waiter was super patient and helpful and the dish I had was delicious. All in all, great but a bit tryhard, read more

Fun place and they have karaoke. That said you have to pay attention to what the bartenders charge you for a beer. On a recent visit I twice ordered a beer posted on the board for $9. The first bartender said $10 and the second charged even more. I didn't fuss over the extra dollar or two but it's definitely the sort of thing that will harsh your stoke and these guys are definitely never going to see my credit card. read more

Governor Bradford Restaurant - The crowd was definitely into karaoke that night. - Seafood Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Ignore all the whiners that have left irrelevant bad reviews about not having ID. Best beer selection on Cape Cod, by far. Hill Farmstead on tap and bottles of Cantillon. Some (most) people have no idea what they have there. The menu is more progressive and foodie friendly than most anywhere else in Ptown. Corn ribs, oyster steamed buns, anything with nduja butter... Smoky cocktails, nice wine list... So good. I do think the kitchen might struggle at times to deliver on the progressiveness of the menu. But this place is still THE sit down spot in Ptown for beer lovers and foodies in search of something more interesting than the tourist spots. read more

There was a drag show going on the night my friends and I went and the vibes were great! The fried oyster bao was delicious and so was the clam chowder. I also convinced my friend to try a raw oyster for the first time and he liked it! Great service too. read more

The atmosphere on the off season was absolutely top notch! My husband and I ended up coming here three times for food, snacks or drinks during our most recent Ptown visit because we enjoyed it so much! They do have a limited assortment of table games available at some tables and we enjoyed getting to play some Scrabble on a rainy Sunday! The fries and hummus were very good. The Mac and Cheese was a smaller portion but, it was some of the BEST Mac I've EVER had. It was exceptionally dank so make sure to order it! read more

My boyfriend and I had reservations here for dinner a couple nights ago, and almost cancelled them after a local shop owner referred to it as "a dive" but also added it was under new management. I'm so glad we ended up keeping our reservation - the food was elevated, creative, and delicious and the cocktails were great. We found the menu so refreshing compared to a lot of the super touristy places in p-town. My boyfriend started with the daily ceviche which he said was a perfect balance of flavors, and we split the fries which were tasty and so interesting with the togarashi seasoning. I had the steak and he had the halibut, and both were cooked to absolute perfection. And we loved the Oh Mai Rye Tai and the No Left on 6 so much that we ended up going back again last night for another round! I'll definitely be back. read more

Overpriced for what you are ordering. The two ladies in the front of the house were great, they get the only star here. The food isn't good, it almost feels like a tourist trap. read more

The 1 star rating is for two things. A "smoked scallop chowder" where there were no scallops. When I told the waitress about this, she said that the scallops were mixed into the chowder. Incredulously, I asked if it was pureed or something. What the... Then at the end, when I was overcharged, the waitress let me know the real price was what showed up on the check, even though she agreed that the menu said a lower price. No offer to fix the discrepancy for me. Without the false advertising and the dishonest behavior, restaurant would have been 2 stars for food quality. It wasn't gross. Just not good, and certainly not what's advertised. read more

Had a great dinner and night at Governor Bradford this past Saturday. Great food but even better service. Fun atmosphere, eclectic menu and great beer list. A definite go to when in Provincetown. A big shout out to Jackie, she's the frikkin best! read more

The terrible bachelorette party that spammed this place with "HIPPA violation" complaints (which are inaccurate--they aren't the employer or health provider, and it's "HIPAA," you jags) notwithstanding, this place is fine. It's always been fine. Get a beer and don't be terrible. read more

The gang that took over the Bradford have breathed such wonderful life back into it!! Colin is such a amazing and creative chef, all of the food I've had there is 10/10. I can't wait to see what else they come up with read more

The absolute best place in the world for karaoke. Ran by a drag queen, it's the best queeraoke I've ever been to (and I've been to many). The drinks are stiff and generous pours, the ambiance is electric, and the people are amazing. A must visit space in PTown. Super fun during Pride as well! read more

Wow - delicious! This is not the old GBs. Give it a try! Fantastic, creative apps, outstanding cocktails, delicious sushi, and tasty entrees. Try the fried zucchini, Dan Dan Noodles, sushi rolls, and the ume cosmo. read more

Best sushi in town! So fresh, so good! Service is excellent. The ambience is great.
