I've eaten here about 10 times over the years. I want to like and support this place. The servers are all really nice. But I can't because it's dirty and the food isn't good. The table and utensils weren't dirty but the place feels and smells dirty. The breakfast potatoes taste like they are canned and they are a funny dark color that I can't describe. The veggie omelet has raw crunchy veggies. read more

Nice quiet spot for a family breakfast. The portions were enormous and we left with full bellies. The service was hometown friendly

Hands down-The BEST breakfast in the area! Best servers.... Laura is amazing and goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. I am disabled and have issues opening my creamers. She opens them for me, always remembers my order as well. I followed her from her other location I use to go to because she is such a love. Victoria is a new addition to the crew and these 2 work well together. They have "The Inflation Fighter" breakfast which is 2 eggs, breakfast meat REAL potatoes fresh and cooked properly. Toast or English is also included for under $10! The Mug has been there as a staple of the town for years and you will not find a better breakfast. If you want dessert for your morning meal or pay a lot of $ for your food, go elsewhere. Too many regulars to doubt my claim. And they have been there for over 30 years! read more

Great breakfast. Nothing fancy. Just eggs , bacon, home fries and toast. But it was oh so good! Cleaned my plate which I rarely do. And the price was reasonable. read more

The server was unbelievably friendly and attentive! The food was delicious and the portions huge! The only thing I wished is that the lighting was slightly brighter...it is very dim inside. read more

Always yummy breakfast and coffee. Wait staff is great too But I wish they would freshen up the interior even a little. read more

Stopped in Wednesday 8/20 around 11 and the place was busy but not full. The was a clear shortage on waitstaff but not to the point of being totally ignored. 10 minutes after getting there a server finally acknowledged us be saying it going to be a while. 10 minutes later we were pointed to our table from across the room to sit. At the table we noticed that e who came in behind us were sat with coffee in front of them and had gotten the special treatment because they were known. Waited another 10 minutes before we just decided to leave. I've worked in the restaurant industry for 30 years and never had been treated with such dismissive posture as if being asked to leave without the words. I write this review from Buppa's up the street where we were greeted with smiles and sat and had coffee in front of us within the minute. I as a former server can tell the difference between a place having a day versus the staff being full of poison and this is the latter. I will be sure to tell everyone of my experience there and to go to other restaurants like Buppas. read more

A prime example of not judging a book by its cover, though you feel as if you're eating in a 18th century farm house, the food is very solid. Ordered the pancakes, eggs, Benedict and the California omelette, all of which were great. Don't be fooled by the decor or look of this place, it is worth a trip. Our server was very nice too. read more

Just met the Owner Tom My food gets messed up on purpose and I get told not to come back It's the 7th time I get the same thing every time and somehow it gets messed up very unsanitized place will be calling the BBB and having it investigated read more

Good quality food served by a friendly wait staff! Always have a great meal whether breakfast or lunch!

Great food!! The best breakfast in town. Usually have their delicious omelettes. DELICIOUS!!! And service great Also read more

The mug is nothing special. That is not a bad thing. They don't do any crazy gourmet breakfast stuff but they do some simplistic ones that are really good. Portion are decent and service is good. Price is not bad read more

Large portions. Friendly waitstaff. Dark and dingy ambience and the lighting was low -- I felt like I was in a 1979's medieval breakfast place. read more

My kids choice for breakfast. Great food and servers with a nice atmosphere . The mug is closed on Mondays.

Dat hollandaise doh! A few of my current coworkers have recommended this place to me with a heavy push to the eggs bene since I love it so much. I finally managed to drag my post-night shift, half-awake self here. It's an older looking restaurant on the inside. It reminds me of an old diner with the metal led/wood table top seating. Ordered the eggs Blackstone, which is the Bene but with bacon instead of ham. So. Delicious. It's like you bust the yolk and mix it with that to die for hollandaise and heaven sings with joy. It was everything I wanted it to be. Service was okay. I eat alone so it's not like I expect people to be extra chatty. It's whatever. I did like that the food came out super fast. A bonus considering I was holding my eyes open with paper clips by that point post shift. I'd eat here again. read more

Good basic food. Great prices. Was there a few months ago with young grandchildren and really appreciated the great kids menu with fabulous prices. Great deal .. neighborhood gem in Marshfield! read more

Holy Rotten Potatoes. Every time i go i find one hiding under my hash stuffer. My family never likes when i have breakfast with them here. Misery. I have to rein in the comments, but yes dirty glasses, dirty silverware. Old fryer oil. Its so seldom i go here i sometimes forget that i become woozy each time i try. Like this morning, with my lousy beer hangover, a coca cola and hash stuffer. 2 bites, I spy rot paired with the breakfast gossip words..."she has 4 baby daddies" I was suddenly hot and dizzy and headed for the ladies room. The coca cola is great. The waitresses i have to hand it to them, i would choke someone out-its all Marshfield locals. Please stop serving rotten potatoes. The hollandaise is good. I promise this is not because i was feeling like_____. Its been a long time coming. read more

Omg!!! This restaurant is delicious!! When Fitzys closed sadly we were in search of another breakfast place and happened upon The Mug. Great food!! Will definitely be back!! read more

One of the best breakfast spots in the town. Portions are always generous, staff is very nice, and prices are very reasonable. Feels like I'm home! read more

This place is a great spot located in Marshfield. We arrived around 10:30am on a Sunday and they were able to seat us fairly quickly, the food came out fast and was hot. The menu is relatively small, but they have all the classic breakfast dishes. I ordered a special, Eggs Benedict with Pastrami and my fellow diner ordered the steaks and eggs, we both enjoyed our meals. I was here with a Marshfield native who promised me the home fries are usually better than the ones we had, other than that the food was pretty good and it's a great value overall. I will be back again! read more

The Mug Restaurant - A Special: Pastrami Eggs Benedict, the hollandaise sauce was delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marshfield, Massachusetts

Started going here in the 90's and loved the food and prices. I do miss the "..N' Muffin" part of their name that was dropped when I was away in the service. I got my fiance into this place a couple of years ago and it is one of her favorites in the area. We have gone about 7 times in the past 2 years since moving back to Marshfield. She loves their New England breakfast. Unfortunately, diet restrictions stopped me from getting the pancakes, so I have been wandering through the breakfast and lunch menus, but haven't had any disappointments. read more

Do I come here every once in a while from Boston just for their amazing hollandaise sauce?! Yes, I sure do. Their Eggs Benedict is one of the best I've ever had. On top of that, the service is great for such a busy place. This is a hidden gem in the south shore! read more

This place still looks the way I remember it as a kid when it was The Mug n Muffin, so the nostalgia factor is high for me. Nice place to sit and stay awhile when it's not too busy. Had the burger and mom had the french toast on a recent visit. They were both delicious, but the french toast was really impressively good. I wasn't even in the mood for breakfast food until I tried a bite of hers. Burger was good though, don't get me wrong. Just the kind of burger you expect from a place like this, looked hand formed (read: probably not a pre-made patty), and they hit the medium well right on the head. Not over cooked but still juicy. The home fries are great, I think they also do bottomless coffee. read more

Great place! This place is small and very homey! Good vibes with good customer service. The food was well cooked and amazing. The service was good and fast!! Highly recommend this place read more

I have been here 3 times over the past two weeks, and I can safely say that it is nothing special. One SOLID menu item are the eggs benny, now that's good (omit the nasty ham steak for me). They give you three poached eggs while most places give two, and they serve up some yummy holly sauce, worth going for that for sure. I figured I'd start off with the good...now onto the gripes. The boy got the New England breakfast the first time we went, and I was SHOCKED at how small the portions were, a 5 year old could have easily wolfed it down! Two baseball sized pancakes, a small portion of scrambled eggs, two sausage links, and one piece of toast that was cut in half.....Ummmm really? I'm not trying to act like it's all about how much grub you get, because it isn't, but seriously that's a joke. He ordered the EXACT same meal on another occasion (not sure why) and he got two plate sized pancakes and just a larger portion of food in general. They are fuckin yo yo, like it depends on who the line cook of the day is apparently. The food itself, aside from the eggs benny, is just mediocre at best, nothing special on the menu, extremely basic breakfast fare. You can go down the road and have an EPIC meal for just a little more money and everything is super fresh, very quality ingredients, is delish, it's consistent, and has a killer menu!!! Now that I found that hidden gem I won't be frequenting here often. read more

A mid-range diner located a the strip mall in downtown Marshfield. The prices are decent; $7.95 for the hungry man breakfast - 3 eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, and toast. Or the New England breakfast for $6.50 - 2 eggs, pancakes or French toast, bacon or sausage. The hungry man wasn't "wow", and I prefer hash browns grilled (crunchy and slightly blackened) but these were orangey which means the potato had soaked up most of the grease. The French toast was decent,,, The restaurant is a little out dated (ahem, an understatement...) with dark wood paneling on the front / back walls and white drywall on the side walls. The chairs are the old wooden captain style; comfortable but not attractive. There were 4 girls at the hostess desk standing around (training?) an when I went up to pay none of them asked how the meal was or even said "hi". Just an observation... Overall it is a ok standby if you don't want to cook, but if you've got the time drive 5 min north to Strawberry Faire (a little more money) in Norwell or 10 min south to Water Street in Plymouth (same prices, but probably has a line). Extra tip (no extra charge): had a one night stand and the girl won't leave without being fed? If you sit with your back to the kitchen the sun glare from outside will only allow you to see her silhouette. Or, did you overachieve and want another hook up but don't want her to realize that she is in the majors while you are struggling to get into the Cape Cod League? Switch seats... read more

I have been going here for 15 years. I have never had a bad meal. The ownership keeps true to the hometown welcome that they want to promote. Can't miss with the Mug read more

What a great place. Have lived in Marshfield for 20 years and this is my first visit. Great food, just the basics like Eggs, Beacon and Hash... Now my favor breakfast stop. read more

Great breakfast food....had lunch with my wife there yesterday. The food was great..but...the only item I did not like was the coleslaw. Worst coleslaw I've ever had. Please change this there are plenty of good distributors out there with great slaw. read more

On our way to the cape, found this great little resturant with amazing food. During the week there is a special, eggs, meat, potatoes and toast around five bucks. Hubby had the hash Benedict, three eggs, hash and potatoes all on a skillet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. And the holandaise sauce, is was great! read more

My favorite restaurant for the breakfast. The best breakfast make the whole day wonderful. The mug always made my day. The hot chocolate is so yummy. The emlet is so fresh. The running egg .... yummy! I love the mug! read more

My girlfriend and i have been here about a dozen times for the money they give you a good portion they are friendly, the place is clean and neat, just make sure when it's cold outside get a table away from the door their are a few tables near the door so when the door opens you will get a little chill of cold air. read more

I have been going here for years and the breakfast is always great. It has an outdated look but it's clean. The waitresses try to get you in and out quick but not a the point of being rude or anything. The food comes quick and tastes great. The prices are reasonable. There is usually a wait but it really moves fast. This is a typical " local breakfast joint" and I will continue to come back here. read more

This place is honestly great. Their prices are pretty low for the massive amount of food you get. Comes out quickly as well. I've been going here for years! read more

I came here for the first time about 2 months ago and had a wonderful experience and tasty food. However my last experience was not too great. Could hear kitchen staff complaining about the order.. And goofing around. And received my mac n cheese cold. Got it microwaved and was still cold! Not sure id go back. read more

i'll start by saying I would give the food five stars! But the place smells like an old rug and it's so out of date in there that I now can't see past it to enjoy breakfast there. It wouldn't take much to spruce the Mug up. They should seriously consider a makeover. read more

Perfectly adequate place for the area, it looks like it hasn't been updated since the 60's but that is part of it's charm. Prices are decent, food is okay, service is friendly, come here for a meal that will be fine if not great if you're in the area. read more
