    Mount Rushmore!

    Food was great, service excellent and we have been seated on the patio (beautiful) and under the tent (ok)

    Buttermilk pancakes
    Kortney S.

    Such a warm and welcoming space. From the staff, the layout of the outdoor area and just overall vibe of the place. We came with our dog and they brought her a water dish . So sweet. The buttermilk pancakes are some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Can't recommend enough! I plan to make this our breakfast spot anytime we come to Wellfleet. Kudos to the staff at Harrigans. Shout out to our server Julie she was great!

    Chocolate chip pancakes, ham and cheese omelette, iced chai latte, iced coffee

    I don't usually write reviews... but this place was astronomical! We had the chocolate chip pancakes, and quite frankly I've never had pancakes like this ever in my life. The softest inside with the nice crispy outside. We had the ham and cheese omelette on the side and even that was cooked to perfection. Had to remember this experience by purchasing the Harrigan's Cafe sweatshirt the staff wear. Had to feel one with them, ya know. Felt like home. 1000% recommend. But lowkey have to gatekeep.

    Corned beef hash

    Wonderful breakfast spot! We came here two mornings in a row when we stayed nearby. My garden omelette was delightful and I loved that they offered greens instead of potatoes and had a very nice quality sourdough as well. We tried the buttermilk pancakes in addition to our egg dishes the 2nd visit and they were delicious! Great outdoor space... absolutely fantastic spot!

    Everything we ordered was delicious! The fluffy blueberry pancakes were amazing! The hash was outstanding! The peasant potatoes were delicious! The coffee was good. Service was great! The outdoor seating area was very nice. Highly recommend!

    Coming to Harrigan's is a treat, plus if someone is staying at the Wellfleet Motel & Lodge it makes it very convenient with just a walk away. It's actually open to anyone to even non-hotel residents. It's very important to note everything is delicious here, but there is a lot of waiting involved including getting a table and waiting for the food, unless getting there between 7 and 9am, the service is a bit quicker. For us, waiting took about 30 - 35 minutes at 9:30. The food took another half over. I've gotten a variety of different breakfast dishes within the four days which includes pancakes, french toast, and also an omelet which all were as I mentioned earlier, delicious. I'm not sure how they do it, but they put a lot of work into it. I got orange juice for every breakfast that we came to. All the waiters and waitresses were friendly throughout our breakfast and were very understanding when we had questions. They work hard and I applaud them for it. Harrigan's only serves breakfast.

    We were put off by some of the negative reviews, but decided to give it a try anyway. The sign for…read morethe restaurant is oddly placed so we didn't know which building it was in. But we finally found the right place, the orange door. This building has been a number of different restaurants which we've tried over the years. It has once again been redecorated with a small bakery area as you enter. We got there kind of late, spending time looking for the right building, and there weren't many people there. But we were quickly seated, and as it was a hot day, the hostess turned on an extra fan, even though the place is air-conditioned. Our server, Maria from Croatia, came quickly to take our order. She was terrific. She was helpful making suggestions giving us information and bringing our coffee and water very quickly. As the Place had cleared out, we also had a time to talk with her a bit which was a plus. We ordered the eggs Benedict and the Brekkes combo and the fresh squeezed orange juice. The fresh squeezed orange juice is really fresh and was excellent. The eggs Benedict were very good, but in an effort to get them out quickly, they came on a plate with nothing else, the hashbrowns came later. But they were a very decent eggs Benedict nonetheless. The Brekkes, which at Maria's suggestion I got on a croissant, was very good. It's really a breakfast sandwich with a very generous helping of sausage along with an egg and cheese and was quite tasty. As I said we were there kind of late and the hashbrowns were a bit warmed over but they were fine. All in all we very much enjoyed our breakfast and the service and plan to return.

Corned beef hash was not available despite being prominently mentioned in the menu. Basically I received a poorly prepared dish of scrambled eggs with two sausage that were also barely warm. I am not sure the owners know what they are doing, and I doubt they will remain open for long. The only positive note was the attentive waitress from Croatia who took good care of us.

When I come back to the CAPE the first restaurant I go to is SUNBIRD because they always have new twists and local ingredients for old FAVORITES. There are always some new faces at the front counters but each year they are younger and sweeter, more intelligent, and well informed about the ingredients of each menu item. The kitchen is attentive to every little nuance making foods healthy but sumptuous and tasteful. I was starved when I arrived on a redeye from LA and I ordered the Kimchi breakfast tacos and the quinoa porridge. The Kimchi spiced up the corn tortillas, egg and cheese with savory and tangy fermented cabbage. The porridge was "heartwarming" quinoa steamed in coconut milk and topped with berries, dried apricots. If you want to save time you can call in your order or book on-line. EATING WITH YOUR FAMILY?

I enjoyed my iced latte that I got, but I'm not too picky with my coffee. The sandwich had a nice runny egg, thick bacon that was well-seasoned, and toasty, buttery bread. I put the mayo on the side, which I think was a mistake, because it was a little dry (but that's my fault). Overall, yummy meal!

    from the website:…read more "Since 1974, First Encounter has been a premiere venue on Cape Cod for the enjoyment of live acoustic music of all kinds; including blues, traditional and contemporary folk, bluegrass, gospel and more. We are a non-profit organization staffed completely by volunteers. Concerts are held twice each month throughout the year. First Encounter provides a rare opportunity to listen to a variety of fine music in a smoke and alcohol free environment. We offer home-baked treats and hot and cold beverages. Children are welcome and admitted free, so it's a great place to go as a family. Here at our website you can find a schedule of our upcoming concerts, information on mailings and memberships and directions so you can find us." this place is famous, seriously it has had some big names in blues and folk. Its very cheap considering that you will get TWO shows in a row. the building is beautiful with amazing stain glass windows. the acoustics of the room are wonderful for music, amplifying it and holding the sound to perfection. Its intimate, and inviting; the perfect date place. The signers often involve you in the music and have you sing along. It will fill up fast, because this is where the locals go for music on cape cod. Id recommend for bigger shows showing up 20 min ahead of time. Of course they will fit you in, as you can always stand. visit website http://www.firstencounter.org/ for info and to see if there is a concert

    As good a venue for acoustic music as you'll ever find....and I've been to many many of them.read more
