Excellent service, great atmosphere, all the locals go here, everyone was so hospitable. I'll go here again when I return the the cape.....oh, and the food was wonderful. Nice big servings, hot and tasty. read more

Terrible service. We walked out. Rude waitress that made us feel like she hated us because we are "tourists". Funny thing is that we are not, we live here. The last time we were here the food was horrible as well as the service so we paid and left the food on the table. I just promised myself that there won't be a third time. Don't do it, the only reason why this place gets busy is because it part of the "local history" and it's fairly inexpensive compared to other nearby restaurants. read more

We got take out before heading to the drive in. The lobster sandwich was great, the soup dynamite (we got the clam chowder and seafood chowder) , and a pork chop which was cooked perfectly. Casual, pub with friendly staff. read more

What a wonderful experience we had! We had a party of 8, called before leaving the house and they rsvd a table for us. Great food! Awesome chowder, big portions! Good Price...can't wait to go back next year! read more

Good lunch food, charming service. Surprisingly empty at noon on a Sunday. They make their own root beer, and it's fantastic!

Very disappointed.... poor customer service, waitress appeared annoyed, mediocre food... not worth it!!! Would not return... sorry Yardarm, we're not on speaking terms! PS: actually didn't feel well after eating read more

My parents live on the Cape, this was a tried and true spot for them until tonight. Food was good, seafood was fresh but the service was inexcusable. Our waitress was downright rude, yelled at my mom when the wrong dish was delivered. Never an apology, just hostile service. Who needs that when dining out? Never again and we will be sure to tell our friends. read more

The Yardarm is a local "townie" spot with a very cape cod feel and atmosphere. I've been there several times and while the food won't blow you away, I've never had a bad experience. It's classic comfort food with friendly staff and good prices which makes it a safe bet if you just want to enjoy a simple, casual dining experience. I would recommend the Yardarm if you want to just relax and have a good meal with friends and family or even by yourself. read more

5 stars for the burgers. I haven't actually tried their other food because I just keep getting burgers, that's how delicious they are.

The food here is great. I've had everything here, from the cheeseburger, to the lobster roll, to the clam chowder. The one problem, I have with the Yardarm Restaurant, is how they have a waiting area, only for people above 21 years old. I understand that bars have rules that people have to be, 21 or older. But at the Yardarm, a restaurant (not just a bar), the waiting area is a bar. When you walk in to the yardarm, on both sides of the entrance, there are waiting areas. On the left is a real bar with a bartender and drinks. On the other side, there are just tables, where people 21 or older are allowed to wait. But the tables here were considered part of the bar. The yardarm restaurant, does not provide a space for minors to wait. Therefore, a minor must wait outside, under all circumstances. I came here on a Monday Night, with my mother, and son. My mother and I were allowed to come in to the restaurant, to the bar. My son, who is 13, was stopped by the owner and she made him go outside a wait in the rain. My son only wanted to play on his phone inside, but the owner made him go outside and wait in the rain. Because of this, I was forced to leave my 84 year old mother at the bar, in order to accompany my son. The wait was 30 minutes, and this is unfair, unprofessional, and rude. This restaurant is not family friendly. The owner is rude and unfair. read more

Went to the Yardarm restaurant tonight. Although I grew up down in Orleans, I had never been there. It is a frequent place my sisters have liked to go to over the years. Two Stars, yeah, pretty bad, due to the skimpiest Fried Fishermans platter I have ever ordered in my life. Literally, they gave me 3 tiny clams, and I mean tiny, 3 scallops, and 3 shrimp. The fish portion was ok but I've gotten a lot better off Cape. Maybe it's because I live off Cape now and I'm used to good food with good portions and this place figures it can make a killing serving small portions to tourists in the summer. My sisters dinners looked ok and one of my sisters got the fisherman's platter as well and received more clams. WTF. Well, this was my 1st time there and I'm guessing with all the other places around this will be my last time there. Thought I would give an old establishment a try but it didn't pan out. Sorry. read more

Very rude workers and poor service! My family and I are residents at the cape and we went in on Saturday night 7/29. It wasn't busy at all inside and we decided to get a drink at the bar while we waited for a table. The bar tenders completely ignored us. One of them was drinking a soda right in front of me as I tried to put in an order. read more

Excellent scrod with pesto! And great chicken cordon bleu. Clam chowder was good too.

I am local transplanted from Arizona Accept the Yardarm for what it is: a great local pub serving solid pub food in a traditional atmosphere. You want gourmet go to Chillingsworth. You want a solid lunch go to the Yardarm. It is Cape Cod. read more

This place has been tuning and adjusting since the early '70s. It still uses the same high-quality suppliers - namely Chatham Fish and Lobster, Stoney Island Sea Farms, Gary's (now his son's -) Ultimate Produce. If you are expecting 5 minute service, go away: if you relish very good food, a cold draught of ale, the crossword puzzle, crayons and diversions for your grandchildren, and so-much-better food and service at a fair price, the Yardarm is for you. Come on in. We locals are a bit interesting but we are (mostly) harmless and welcome you. Please come in, we'd love to meet you! read more

Great old time Cape seafood. I had baked scrod, baked scallops and Fried Clams. All equally good. The best onion rings/ straws in a very long time. From receptionist to waitresses the staff could not be nicer or more welcoming. Also quite a cast of characters at the bar. read more

I went there for fish and chips but ended up eating a lot of other stuff which was one of the best!!!! It was very yummy!!!! What I loved was ofcourse the fish and chips, after a long long time I had such yummy buffalo wings and their garlic bread was totally homemade. I'd go there again and would recommend to everyone. The downside was, the service speed wasn't great. Once the person served you she did not come back asking if we needed anything else. This was something I did not like. Buy, yay for food....that's the place. Total family atmosphere with a lot of Red Sox momentos :) read more

One of the worst restaurants I've even been! Service was lousy and unfriendly to adults and kids. Waited forever to be seated and to order food. Messed with the checks. And it was not a rush-hour. My kid kicked off his crocks at the table and host asked to put them on. At the table. A/C was making us all uncomfortable - too cold. Food. Well, at least none of us got sick after all. That's a plus. Clam chowder and seafood chowder missed clams and the seafood. Fish and chips - fish was "blah" - nothing special. French fries was over-fried. Calamari were very mediocre. Very disappointing since the overall rating was high. read more

I love the wing dings that the Yardarm has to offer. It came with ranch sauce for the perfect combination. It was very easy to get a table for weekend lunch. Staff was very nice and treated us with respect. There were so many good options to choose from, but I could only get one. read more

We ate here last week. Excellent meal. We had the specials, lobster rolls, and prime rib. I eat a lot of lobster rolls when back in New England and his was a favorite. Tons of lobster, no filler and minimal if any? Mayonnaise. Delicious!!! And the price was right. My husband had the prime rib, and he was thrilled. He often will order prime rib, and said this was one of the best! Thanks for great food and great service! read more

Who knew that an American restaurant would make the best eggplant parmigiana? Certainly a place worth checking out for a meal on the cape.

Excellent dinner, you could cut the steak tips with a fork, superb; the fish was excellent. Desert was very good, service was above average. I'd rate this restaurant with (4) stars! read more

Best Cape Cod Reuben sandwich this side of the Canal.

Went there on a Saturday night for the first time. Busy little place. Ordered fish and chips and husband ordered a cup of clam chowder to start and baked fish. Waitress pleasant. Brought over rolls. And boy were they great. Chowder was very Good nice flavor thick and full of clams potatoes. Meals came and I was very pleased. Food was tasty and nice portion. I would definitely recommend and am going there again tonight read more

Good food at reasonable prices on Cape Cod is challenging to find. Good thing we tried the Yardarm. Delicious baked scrod assortment. Ditto crab cakes. Service is relaxed, so skip if you're in a hurry. read more

Food was great! only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the service was slow. We had ordered a beer, a ginger ale and a glass of water. Took about 20 min to get all three. The bartender was "working" on our drinks was the excuse we got. read more

Went here at 8:00 the other evening and had the most inattentive service imaginable.Although it advertises as closing at 9:00,all that the wait staff cared about was cleaning up the parts of the dining room not being used. read more

Great local color, here...there's always a good crowd of locals at the bar and dining on the fresh and nothing fancy but good basics at the Yardarm read more

Five stars not because it's the best food on the planet, but because they're consistently good at what they do--fresh pub food at good prices. If you're looking for a simple homey meal in a friendly atmosphere, the Yardarm is a great choice. Go with what they do best and you won't go wrong. The seafood is fresh, excellent fries and usually the onion rings are something special (every once in a while they're too greasy). Don't wear anything with a Yankees or Giants logo--this is where the local crowd likes to watch the Red Sox and Pats! Exceptionally friendly and consistent. And if you like classic creamy thick clam chowder, this is pretty much the best. read more

The Yardarm is one of our favorite places. The burgers are so tasty and the onion soup and seafood chowder are 1st rate. Great place to have a beer too! read more

Best burger on the Cape...nice and charred and juicy. No gross gristle which you get in so many burgers. Service is hit or miss. If you go for a burger and a brewski you won't be sorry. You may have to go to the bar to get your second beer, but hey, that's part of the charm here. read more

Mediocrity called. It wants it's menu back. Meals lack flavor, sauces are runny, seafood is overcooked, and the portions are small for the price. Very underwhelming. There are much better options all around. read more

My family and I have visited the Yardarm for years and enjoyed the food although not the service. We pulled in for a Friday night feast to cap off a great week at the Cape and waited 55 minutes for a promised 30 minute table. We watched a larger party and a smaller party get seated ahead of us. When we questioned the hostess why we weren't being seated in order of arrival she loudly and rudely dismissed us. I've never met a more abrasive hostess who presents the absolute wrong public image. This one time favorite has slipped off our list and will never get our recommendation again. read more

Pretty good place, although service is slow - they're super nice and accommodating. I was a terribly picky customer last night and sent back my crab cakes (covered in straight up thousand island sauce?!?). Although they took FOREVER they were kind enough to bring me fresh ones without all the goop! The stuffed quahog was good, but YUGE!! The chowder was nice and think but not paste like you can get elsewhere. My husband had the fish and chips. Not too greasy. Some folks complain about the slaw, but I thought it was PERFECT! Not just dressing or wilted sweetened cabbage. Crispy, fresh and just enough dressing to say slaw without extra runny mess. Over all I'd recommend. Just ask what if anything they dress their dishes. Prices are great. Specials were around $20, most dishes on menu under $20 - our meal for 2 adults, 1 child with appetizers/chowder for each and a main plus a drink was $60! That's a deal at a nice pub in our opinion!! read more

The Yardarm is truly a place for neighbors in the 'hood. Friendly, and my friends say it has the best onion rings on the planet. That, I couldn't say, I don't eat them. But that, again, is tonight's destination! read more

Visited because of ads and reviews of 4.1 out of 5. Not so much. Very outdated interior. Menu is all over the place. Chips (bag of) with fish sandwich. Frozen fries with burger. Guinness pours take too long. Just meh read more

good pub grub. many featured blackborad specials. excellent portion and a great value. come in and rub elbows with the locals

While the service was good....the food SUCKED! I had to send my prime rib back 3 times to be cooked and actually be warmed! The first time it was ice cold.....the second time it was luke warm...by the third time it had lost any and ALL seasoning flavor and was just a slab of meat.........pathetic, at best. Then the owner of this pathetic join tosses my wife and I, two "free drink" tokens ......as if that would repair the shitty food preparation........NOT likely. ONLY go there IF you want crappy food! read more

I am visiting from New Jersey and recently visited the Yardarm for my first time due to all the great reviews I hear.This place is truly a gem, the food was above and beyond my expectations.The staff made me fell right at home from start to finish.The food is extremely fresh ,I had the Unique Cape Cod Ruben sandwhich which was out of this world,with the thinly sliced homemade onion rings, also enjoyed there large selection of beers.If your in this area I wouldnt pass this place up for anything.This place truly gives you that Cape Cod experience only found here. read more

My husband and I wanted a casual dinner and decided to try The Yardarm since we hadn't eaten there under the new ownership. Bad idea. The burger I ordered turned out to be a frozen pre-made patty, burned on the bottom, with no flavor and no juiciness. Just awful. The fries were unremarkable. My husband ordered the pork shank with risotto with better results - the pork was tender, though the gravy wasn't the best. Our server could have cared less about us - not once did she meet our gaze when ordering or afterwards. I don't think we'll go back. read more
