    Classic Breakfast Sandwich on a Bagel with Pork Belly.
    Frederick C.

    Visiting Plymouth and found this cozy little place with a great sounding menu. Definitely a grab and go place, just enough room to order and move aside so the next person behind you can order. I elected a classic breakfast sandwich with pork belly made on a bagel. Got a cup of coffee as well because your day hasn't really started until you've had your first cup. The owner does a phenomenal job of turning out these hearty and delicious starts to your day. The eggs and cheese are HOT and well seasoned with a simple combo of salt and pepper. The pork belly was a delicious bit of protein and completed a well made sandwich. The bagel has a crust on the outside but isn't chewy, just the way it should be. The coffee, not the star of the show and adequately does the job but I like a cup with a bit more strength and vigor! Definitely worth a re-visit and this time, based on a recommendation from a local, will be trying the short rib as the protein.

    So i wanted to love this place so many options they all sounded good. Until I sat there and watched the sandwich get made. The amount of butter put on that sandwich could give anyone a heart attack greasy and not good. I don't recommend.

    After first checking out The Portly Pilgrim on a solo visit back in October I ventured back today with orders for the whole family. Today we got the Burial Hill (without bacon), the Patuxet Pastrami, and the John Alden Club. The family consensus? -Excellent! -Amazing! -When can we go back? -Does he do any specials? -One guy makes all of this? Thanks for making our Friday, Portly Pilgrim! We're sorry you're temporarily closed for the season but we're looking forward to visiting when you re-open in March after a much-deserved rest!

    The reviews I'd read about this place had me super excited to eat here when visiting for the day... and it did not disappoint! My mom and I got some sandwiches and headed down to the water to sit and eat (this place does not have seating inside; there were some areas outside but not specifically designated for this restaurant. I'd recommend finding a spot just across the street and down a bit to eat by the water). The Governor Bradford panini was a large and filling sandwich. It had turkey, stuffing, mayo, and cranberry sauce on a cranberry bread. The bread was delicious and perfect for the sandwich. I personally thought the cranberry sauce (more like jelly) was a little too sweet. I'd wanted gravy instead but the owner said he didn't have any at that time. It definitely had that after Thanksgiving feel and the sweet, salty, soft, crunchy that makes for an addicting meal! My mom got the Brown's Bank BLT but without the cheese or arugula (it had 8 strips of crispy bacon, Roma tomato, green leaf lettuce, and mayo). It came on a roll but you could get it on a different bread option if you wanted. This is such a cute place. It's in the Village landing shopping area. If you park in the farm end of the lot near the hotel, you'll see the sign telling you to walk around and enter in the front of Portly Pilgrim. You can't see this place from the street. It's near B's Ice cream. They offer breakfast sandwiches as well. Just take a look at my photos of the sandwiches and that should convince you to stop in!!

    An absolutely wonderful sandwich shop. I visited the Portly Pilgrim two times this week. Once for breakfast and once for lunch. Both times the food was amazing and the owner was kind and generous. I can highly recommend the Sausage @ Gouda breakfast Sandwich, and the incredibly fresh muffins. I can also recommend the lunch panini Governor Bradford (the Cranberry bread is amazing!) An obvious 5-stars from me!

    We stopped here on the way to cape cod from Boston. Mostly because of the reviews and the thanksgiving themed sandwiches. The shop is small one guy cooking everything and just enough space to order...which is perfect. We got a DAT Bird (?) and the one with steak, pesto and mozzarella. Everything was really good and the guy working was so kind and a hard worker. Would def stop here again.

    Grab and go breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Amazing lunch sandwiches... the Massasoit melt was wonderful on sour dough (rye was gone.), and the skinny bird is hearty. Plenty of tables outside to sit down and eat. It's a be man show so you may have to wait to order, and they may close early if they have run out of food.

    We loved this place so much that we stopped back a second time for carryout on our drive back to…read moreBoston! We first wandered in on a cold, rainy afternoon and were immediately charmed by the cozy atmosphere. The service was warm and welcoming, and everywhere we looked, steaming plates of comfort food were making their way to happy diners. The cod Reuben with sweet potato fries was outstanding, and the clam chowder was exceptional. In fact, after trying chowder at six different places during our trip, my husband and I both agreed this was our favorite by far. The shepherd's pie looked incredible as it passed our table, but we'll have to save that for next time. The only real downside is the limited parking, but it's a small trade-off for such a wonderful spot. If you're in the area, don't miss this hidden gem!

    We chose this restaurant largely because of its 4.5-star rating, even passing up a few waterfront…read morerestaurants with beautiful views but slightly lower ratings. Unfortunately, we left pretty confused about where the 4.5 stars are coming from. We were seated quickly, and the staff was genuinely very nice and welcoming. We had a booth, although it was oddly high and uncomfortable for me at 5'3" because my feet could barely reach the ledge. Service was pleasant, but after we ordered, no one really checked in on us. Our table tried quite a bit: the Reuben, classic New England cod, another cod and clam dish, clam chowder, and a pretzel. The clam chowder was probably the highlight. It had good flavor, although I would have loved more actual clams. The wine was mediocre. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was about a 5/10 for us. Nothing was terrible, but most of it was surprisingly bland and just not memorable. My cod and clam dish was especially disappointing. It came with four very large clams, but one was completely closed and should never have made it onto the plate. The cod, potatoes, and other ingredients were sitting in a pool of cream sauce, yet somehow the dish still tasted underseasoned. It felt more like something I could have steamed and put together myself at home for a simple, healthy weeknight dinner rather than something I'd be excited to order at a restaurant. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off day, because the consistently high ratings made us expect much more. We specifically chose this place based on those reviews instead of going somewhere with a view and slightly lower ratings. In the end, we got neither the view nor particularly good food, which was disappointing. The kind staff and clam chowder were the bright spots, but based on our meal, I personally wouldn't rate the overall experience anywhere near 4.5 stars.

I forgot my server's name but she was the sweetest lady ever and knew the menu like the back of her hand. she suggested shareable platters to my coworker and I and we're so glad we listened. Everything was sooo freaking TASTY! now i understand how the restaurant got it's name! After each bite from a dish we literally closed our eyes to savor taste. You just have to try it! We got the cornbread, and omg!!!! Don't get me started on the duck wontons... i told her the chef needed a kiss on the cheek! lol Our entree was the star of the show and we both got the Beef cheek. The beef was fall apart tender and the flavors meshed sooo well together along with the cornbread. I think about this place often, would definitely fly back to Plymouth just to try the whole menu!

Bartender handled the whole joint on a Saturday lunch. -- Patty Melt: Nice straddling between traditional and innovative. Brisket patty, neither thick nor thin, with a soft grind, cooked showing pink (I asked for medium rare if possible). Bacon-onion-jalapeño jam with some zip and bacon saltiness and bendy texture. Caramelized onions with a hint of sweetness. Partly-melted American cheese. Griddled marble rye with unnoticeable butter. Not perfection, but an enjoyable mix of flavors and textures. -- Fries (with the patty melt): Thin, crunchy shoestrings, aggressively salted, in assorted lengths. -- Quinoa Bowl: Bright flavors, good textures, per my wife. -- Ginger Soda: Made in house, string Ginger flavors, not too much sugar. Very good, though at $7, it's gotta be something you're certain you want. Solid experience. Hard to get a full picture without trying more things, but good enough to try more. And many good options for vegetarian dishes and mocktails.
