I walked in the door, saw the chatter at the bar around whatever ball game was on, smelled the lobster in the air and knew this food was going to be perfect. Regular tavern feel nothing special, but all the while perfect and cozy. Waiters were quick, kind, and didn't hover but were always around if you needed them. Portions had half sizes which I appreciated. The half was quite small and the regular was very large, so take your pick. THE BURGER!!! Get the burger! Bonus points if you get a side mac and cheese and put some on the burger ( that's what I did). read more

This was our go-to restaurant while staying in Hyannis. We actually ordered food from here twice to take back to the abnb. I loved the bacon wrapped scallops. The pizza was good as well. The lemon pepper wings were hardly seasoned. Also they were very dry. I could barely taste the lemon flavor. My fried cod fish sandwich was delicious though! With the exception of the wings every thing else was pretty good. Including the scallops and rice. They have lots of available parking. Can't comment on the dining in experience. Everything was called in for pick-up. So I would give this restaurant a 3.5 rating. read more

Portside tavern has a lot going for it.. a great feel.. clientele that are friendly. But the best thing about it is the owner... Sometimes things don't go right. Nobody can bat a thousand... When something went amiss, the owner stepped up and took care of the situation. You've got to respect that. read more

This was recommended to us from a waiter at another restaurant that we had lunch at. He highly recommended the pizza! We were greeted and seats upstairs overlooking the bar area. It was nice a quiet and our waiter took our drink order and then came back for our dinner order. The espresso martini's were wonderful made with a shot of espresso. So delicious. They had a very nice mocktail menu too! We did have the pizza which was wonderful and they even had a gluten free option for my daughter. We enjoyed the pizza so much that we ordered one to go to bring back to our family! They enjoyed it as well. I would recommend this tavern to everyone. Great recommendation and so glad we went here read more

I cannot rave enough about this place. I've visited Hyannis in March, three years in a row. Every year we have eaten here for one of our meals. Every year is has been incredible. This year we came back because of how outstanding last year was. I ordered the chili again, even though I knew it meant I probably wouldn't eat my whole meal. My friend ordered the fish and chips and upgraded to truffle fries. She said it was probably the best fish and chips she's had. Now... for my meal... I am not exaggerating... BEST meal I have EVER had. Ever. I had the cod. Baked. With pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes. Served with roasted potatoes and spinach. So flaky. So tender. Perfectly cooked. The flavor was something straight from heaven. Breaks my heart I'm not local. I'd eat this weekly. All of the staff is always so friendly. A gentleman also checked in... not sure if he's a manager or owner. This is a top notch place. I'll definitely be back. read more

We are visiting from NY. Everyone was welcoming! Food was delicious! My husband had a burger, which I had the opportunity to take a bite of. That was a flavorful burger! I got a rice bowl with shrimp! The shrimp itself had a lot of flavor! Service was great and staff very attentive. Enjoyed the space, they even had an upper seating, as well as outdoor. Will definitely be back when we visit again. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed our meals. Probably the best meal of our week. Waiter was great and overall a great experience.

This place is a great sports bar, with a tremendous craft beer selection. The place has a lively atmosphere for watching sports games. I ordered the lobster roll and was truly surprised as to how much lobster meat was on the roll. This has got to be one of the best lobster rolls in New England. read more

My first time at this restaurant and it was amazing! We got the baked cod, lobster rolls, salmon, and fish & chips. All iconic plates and all so so good! It was a little too bright in the restaurant but I also enjoy a dimmed light everywhere I go so that's just preference. The service was also great! Only odd thing was the lobster roll came with lays chips in the bag. I think they should've taken the chips out of the bag for us, but other wise great. read more

First time here. Wasn't impressed with the service. It took awhile to get a drink. Very busy place. Definitely old school decor. Food was okay nothing spectacular. Definitely just bar food. Amenities could use some cleaning. Kinda musty smell walking in. Over priced on a few items. The drinks are weak. Would not recommend if you're looking for a nice local place for good food n drinks. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. The service here was amazing - extremely kind, quick, and willing to accommodate our walk-in party of 11. Our drinks were tasty, and the food was quite good, especially considering the variety offered. I was happy with just some mac and cheese, and honestly wish I had tried something else, too. Relaxed environment, good food, solid prices. Definitely recommend. read more

Awful bland food and awful service. We waited for over an hour for the food and when it came finally came out it was bad

I loved this place. The hostess was extremely nice and accommodating to us. It's a very friendly atmosphere and our server was wonderful. The steak tips were delicious and plentiful. I could not believe the mound of potato salad I got or a whole ear of street corn! Way too much but a fabulous lunch the next day! Lots of choices in a rustic style tavern! Parking is a bit of a challenge but well worth it. read more

Always great here we sometimes eat here twice a week can't say enough about this place love it

Love the New England clam chowder. Will always get it when I visit. Haven't tried that much more there.

My family and I dined here during our recent Cape Cod trip. Despite the restaurant being busy, we were quickly seated. I had the Pineapple Coconut Margarita, which was not too sweet and not too strong. I was indecisive for my meal so I ended up just getting Nachos. The portion was big and shareable, and had most of the fixings I want in nachos - just needed beans. If I stay in Hyannis next time then I will dine here again! read more

The food here was absolutely amazing! Not only was every bite delicious, but the customer service was warm, welcoming, and so friendly. Since we're visiting from down south, we were on the hunt for a late-night spot (which isn't easy to find by the Harbor since so much was already closed). Luckily, we made our way toward the Cape Cod Mall area and struck gold! We shared a mouthwatering lobster roll with crispy fries, a perfectly baked pizza, and for dessert... oh my goodness--the chocolate chip cookie skillet topped with creamy vanilla ice cream and the caramel fudge brownie sundae were next-level indulgence. If you're ever in the area and craving a late-night bite, this is the spot to be! read more

Been going here for years, whenever we were on the Cape. Sadly we won't return. Their poutine used to be a standout. Tonight the fries were not hot, the gravy was as flavorless as a package mix, and even lacked salt. Cheese was good, but warm bland poutine is not pleasant. For the first time ever, we didn't finish it. Our other favorite had been the fennel sausage pizza. The fennel sausage is house made and used to have a sharp tang of fennel, making it a really tasty complement to the poblano peppers and caramelized onions. Tonight it was a joke. The sausage didn't even have a hint of fennel, it was absolutely tasteless, and, no lie, there was exactly one skinny strip of pepper on each slice. It was obvious they had used exactly eight slivers, spread around the pizza like spokes on a wheel. When asked if we'd like a box for the pizza, we declined. The place was packed so it doesn't appear to be hurting, but wow has their quality gone downhill. read more

The service was great-- def 5 worthy! We ordered: Hand cut fries-- they were fresh! 10/10 Seafood Alfredo-- my partner seemed to enjoy it. A cheese pizza-- we're from CT so our pizza standards are pretty high (iykyk) but I thought it was great. Wings with their special sauce-- it's buffalo and lemon pepper but I felt the lemon pepper was overbearing. Otherwise, they were cooked perfectly. read more

We recently stopped by Portside Tavern and were reminded why we love great local spots like this. It's a fantastic low-key bar that's just as good for dinner as it is for catching a game. The TV screens are perfectly placed, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The pizza was excellent -- flavorful, hot, and done just right. We also tried the meatloaf, and it genuinely reminded us of our grandmother's from years ago -- comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. That's not something you find everywhere. Even in the middle of winter, the place had a warm, lively vibe. We ended up having a great conversation with someone we later found out was the owner -- just chatting about everyday life. That kind of genuine hospitality says a lot. Good food, great service, and an easygoing atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience -- we'll definitely be back! read more

All I can say is WOW. From the moment we walked in the door the gentleman at the host stand was so friendly. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops for an appetizer and they were a 10/10. I got the fish and chips and it was perfect and their house made tartar sauce was one of the best I have ever had. If you are visiting or haven't tried this place before CHECK IT OUT! I am a restaurant manager myself so I tend to be very picky when I go out and was thoroughly impressed by this place. read more

Taco salad was tasty, everyone else at the table enjoyed their meal also. Went for lunch, but our waitress seemed very tired and preoccupied for the middle of the day. Overall 4 1/2 stars. read more

After 6+ years finally made it back. Was just as good as I remembered. We sat at the bar right at noon. There were just a few patrons, and within the hour the whole place filled up. Andy (on the bar) took amazing care of us. We had a couple cold beers and oysters while we tried to decide what else to have. We watched as so many mouth watering dishes went by. The burgers and fries looked AMAZING...as did the buffalo tenders, Mac n Cheese, and some sort of wrap. We wound up just munching on a bar pizza. It was delicious. Perfect South Shore style with crispy crust. The owner, Jason, came over to say hi. I mentioned this was my second time and was so happy to see it still thriving. We will be back later this week. I highly recommend!!! This is a locals place, slightly off the beaten path away from the tourist stuff, but still super close to everything mid Cape. Oh, and on top of huge portions, very reasonably priced. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. It's a home run! read more

Wow! We read reviews trying to determine a nice spot for dinner and we certainly hit the jackpot! The food was delicious... the burger was the biggest we've ever seen. AND it was one of the best we've ever had! The service was great and it was a nice, laid back atmosphere. read more

Great food, great service, & great sports atmosphere! Big screen Tv with smaller tv's surrounding it in the bar area. The food is much better than average bar food.

It is right off the Main Street & they have their own parking lot. read more

One of those times I would give 3.5 stars, but the tamales and port belly potato skins were delicious, and well conceived, definitely 4 stars! The place is very live/loud. My group of six was seated in a small alcove sounded by mirrors. It was hard to hear anyone not immediately next to you. The service was not great. We had to remind our server of items at least twice. One of our party ordered the ice tea, and when it came, it was terribly sweet, so she sent it back, but the server did not remove it from our bill. But I would come back for the food! read more

So glad we picked Portside Tavern in Hyannis for many reasons. The food was excellent along with the service, atmosphere, the friendly and "on the ball" Staff. The large screens around the bar were perfect for the game. Even the customers were great especially Amanda from KC who "saved the game" for us all with her IT expertise! Thank you Amanda and Portside Tavern for a great night out! read more

Steak tips were AMAZING. There were only 4, but they are the size of a full filet mignon and they were cooked to perfection; they were spot on. The street corn and potato salad were phenomenal also. The drinks come in little mason jars and when we kept ordering water refills they came over with a pitcher of water for us to serve ourselves and they refilled the pitcher for us. Service in the beginning was ok. The host was amazing and told us 15-20 and it ended up being no more than 10 minutes. The waiter was a little rude at first but seemed to calm down as the restaurant seemed to die down. It seemed like we were getting the "get them out of here" treatment until the restaurant cleared out. Even with a busy restaurant, it's still important to be attentive and kind to your tables. read more
