    Local Break is an American restaurant and bar that opened in Eastham, Massachusetts in May 2012. It was founded by Mackenzie Gallant. After graduating from high school, he realized the difficulties of finding success on the Cape so he decided to enroll at Hartwick College in upstate New York. Gallant soon became homesick and decided to move right back to the Cape after graduating. He had worked in the restaurant business since he was 14: starting out as a dishwater and eventually moving into management positions. He soon realized that the only way that he would be successful in this industry was if he was his own boss. He found a restaurant space in North Eastham that was previously home to Rick's Outer Bar and completely remodeled it. All of the dishes on Local Break's menu are crafted with fresh, local ingredients. The bar also has an impressive list of local craft beers on tap. Unlike many Cape Cod restaurants that close down during the colder months, Local Break is open year-round. My extended family and I visited Local Break this past August during our week-long trip to the Cape. The restaurant was right down the street from our Airbnb and we had heard good things. We enjoyed the nautical decor and the staff were friendly and helpful. For cocktails, my wife had the "Strawberry Peach Lemonade" (Deep Eddy peach vodka, strawberry purée, lemonade, fresh lemon) and I had the "Woodford Reserve Maple Old Fashion" (muddled cherry, orange, maple simple syrup, Angostura bitters, Woodford Reserve Bourbon, splash of water, ice). Both were very flavorful! Among our whole party, the entrees we ordered were the "Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich" (pulled baked BBQ chicken served on a Kaiser roll, topped with fried onion rings and coleslaw), the "Romesco Fish Sandwich" (fried cod with house made Romesco sauce, lettuce, pickles), the "Hot Chicken Sandwich" (crispy fried chicken thigh, sweet pickles, house made coleslaw, brown sugar-hot sauce, Kaiser bun), the "Po' Boy" (beer battered fried shrimp, baby greens, tomato, chili garlic mayo, baguettini) and the "Kid's Tenders". Everyone really liked their food! I really liked my Po' Boy which went great with some sweet potato fries and Cajun maple dipping sauce! We would definitely stop at Local Break again on a future trip to the Cape!

    The steak and cheese sandwich brings you here in and of itself! It's one of the best I have ever had. Everything you can get here is incredible, and tasty and fresh.

    We went to the ocean to watch the sunset and because of that it was after 8 and practically all the restaurants on route six were closed or closing. We elected to come back to the local break since we were here two nights ago and had such a great experience. Tonight we ordered the clam appetizer which was absolutely amazing. It was made with olives, grape tomatoes, capers, white wine and obviously the clams. It was to die for. Served with two pieces of Crostini it was the perfect appetizer to share. For the entrée we got the house cheeseburger which was also amazing. We elected to upgrade to the sweet potato fries with the most amazing Cajun maple dipping sauce. The waitress, Erin, was nice enough to even split the burger for us on two separate plates. For dessert we got the Keylime tart and a s of carrot cake, both of which were divine. The kitchen staff is to be commended, along with the service staff and the entire establishment. It's is such a great place.

    Drinks and burgers were great. Both entrees were bad...very bad. Scallops were super over cooked.

    Solid food. Great beer list (seemed like all New England beers), and surprisingly not steeply priced. Will be back.

    So sad to see the bakery close. While the bistro/restaurant will keep going and expand, the bakery…read morewas where it was at. Apparently, the owner wanted to re-focus on that part of the business. *shrug* I used to come here around opening and see a lengthy line. The croissants are some of the best in the area. The plain croissant is flaky and light. The ham & cheese croissant is more of a croque monsieur and it's a pretty substantial offering, full of cheese, ham, and béchamel sauce. The individual tarts (lemon, raspberry, etc.) and cakes are beautifully designed and are appropriately sweet. The tart crusts were legit. I'll miss coming here for pastries/desserts. Maybe I'll try the bistro when it opens, but now I've found a new spot on the Cape for French patisserie and viennoiserie items.

    Everything is soooooo goood!! Took my buddy who was visiting to have the croque monsieur and again…read moreit was delicious! Crunchy creamy and oh soo rich. I love this! Along with a regular coffee that is bold & delicious. We split an almond croissant and we were moaning in delight!! I went back in to say thank you for the magnificent bites & the chef came out! It was a delight to meet, merci beaucoup & Au revoir! Also picked up an eclair filled with chocolate, rich and delicious. And the lemon tart which was sooo lemony tart indeed! Wow! Oh and a loaf of chocolate chip walnut holiday bread and a cheese batard oh and the pear tart!! We went nuts!! In heaven
