I was probably like you...sitting at home, looking at yelp reviews, trying to figure out where to eat and came across this place. Looked good, 4 stars, and the pictures of the food looked pretty good. Well don't be fooled, don't take the bait, this place is just awful, a terrible excuse for a restaurant. The microwavable bacon was a nice touch though. Ugh, awful awful awful. Turrible Turrible Turrible.
I would rather have my yolk sac spread out like a wafer and then have them covered in a layer of honey and then have wasps come and sting me and then have them covered in another layer of vinegar and then have it worn as a swimming cap. I'd rather have that than eat another meal here.
Cheers.
I've been a long time lurker on yelp, however I felt compelled to create an account to review this awful establishment. My wife and friends visited seaside on a Friday night in the summer and boy were we fooled, Â what should have been a great evening out turned into a nightmare. Â I wish I could give this place zero stars, it actually deserves negative stars. It's tough to explain just how bloody awful the food is, Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with this place. Â
For dinner I had the BLT which contained a pile of greasy, thin, microwave bacon, I mean honestly microwave bacon, seriously show a little effort . Microwave bacon basically Is announcing to your customers that you have given up. I also had the pleasure of receiving Parmesan truffle fries...oooooooo wow so exotic. What I actually received was a pile of greasy soft fries with a what can only be described as a fistful of Parmesan cheese thrown on top. I could go on an on with the food, from the imitation crab meat in the lobster bisque to the shrimp bruschetta which contained two whole shrimp, oh boy two whole shrimp wow !!!! I'll spare you more details, just don't go just don't go ever.
Also forgot to mention prices, they are just silly high and this is coming from someone who is used to eating in NYC.
gluten-free fish and chips! Â a gluten-free menu plus a dedicated fryer. Â the fish was excellent, the fries were mediocre. Â i wanted to pay a little extra and have fried pickles instead but they charge $8 for the pickles so wouldn't sub them out. Â that's lame sauce. Â hubby had the veggie philly and found it bland. Â our server seemed high but he was nice.
Review Source:We visited after a recommendation so we had high expectations. The wings were good but overall the food was mediocre. We had crème brûlée with pop rocks for dessert. The pop rocks were an interesting touch but the custard was underdone. Maybe a good late night spot but would not return for dinner.
Review Source:Tvs playing sports, attentive bartender and the 5-star earner... 2x1 pizza on Sunday!!! Oven baked not-too-thin yet not-really-thick pie with a bunch of unique flavor combos for the adventurous. The pizsalad gets two thumbs up. $14 and its enough for 2-3 people. Add the 2nd for free and you've just scored yourself a major winner in the budget-friendly category. Full bar & the Beer selection seemed decent. Must have an evening scene even on a Sunday b/c come 9pm the security guy perched up at the front. Convenience, quality and fair pricing...yeah, I dig.
Review Source:Happened to be in Hyannis this weekend and the family got hungry. Â Hit the closest place we saw which was Seaside Pub. Â The food was excellent and the service spot on. Â We all had very nice salads and the Phu Phu platter which was delicious, especially the chicken with habanero sauce. Â I agree with reviewer Andrew W. that the beer selection should include more local beers, why not Cape Cod Beer, it's wonderful?
Review Source:Seaside has become a regular drinking spot for me when I am on the Cape. They make good cocktails and great pub food - with half price appetizers from 5-7 and pizza specials on Sundays. It also looks like they have a large gluten free menu, which I have not tried but will be bringing my fiance to sample next time we stop in.
They host trivia nights and karaoke every Wednesday. You can also play Wii on the giant TV along the bar or find a board game or two.
I am not always thrilled by the service - expect when my buddy is working the bar, then I have no problems.
I wish I could give Seaside zero stars for the absolute rudest most unacceptably bitchy bartender I have ever met. On a lively but by no means overwhelmingly busy Monday night, two girl friends and I sat at the bar waiting for 20 minutes for the bartender to even glance at us. When she finally acknowledged our existence, we hastily ordered all together knowing she would never get back to us in time for us to order separately. After she brought the drinks, she literally held out her hand and said "Well? Hello? I'm busy here, can you give me a card to open a tab?" Somewhat astonished by how rude she was being, we sat and stared for a second longer as she became even more angry. We asked if we could perhaps pay for our drinks separately with cash, as one does at bars. She flat out told us she was too busy for that.
I honestly have NEVER been treated like that by anyone, let alone someone who is supposed to be providing a friendly service. No amount of stress or busy-ness makes the way she treated us excusable (and it actually wasn't that busy by normal standards). She blatantly ignored us to flirt with men at the bar and then when she did acknowledge us, she treated us like absolute crap. Totally unacceptable and I'm never going back, unless she gets fired.
This is my favorite bar on Main Street. It's smaller than the BBC, but definitely a big step up food and atmosphere-wise. Seaside's menu is unique, but approachable, and you can't make any mistakes. I think their biggest selling point are their shareable appetizers and pizzas. Their appetizers are all 1/2 price after 9pm at the bar, every single day. I'm a big fan of the "Phu Phu Platter" (appetizer sampler).
I was a little disappointed by the beer options. The only local beers are Sam Adams (lager & seasonal) and Vermont's Long Trail IPA. I wish they served Cape Cod Red here. On the plus side, they have $2 PBRs (don't judge) and a good size cocktail menu.
The crowd looks to be mostly 20s and 30s. It's a step up from dives like the Quarter Deck or the 19th Hole.
This is one of those reviews where you wish yelp had 1/2 stars...because it isn't quite a 4 star, but is slightly over a 3 star....
Went here on a Tuesday night as a group of 5. Â Our server (can't remember her name) young, blond was excellent.
Drink prices are not bad at all $2.50 (with tax) for bottled domestic beer (we went around 8)
Shared 2 appetizers...nachos (very good & different, with banana peppers on them) and the loaded baked potato fries (fries with cheese & bacon....I've had much better elsewhere)
I got the "phu-phu platter" which included
- 2 chicken & Â wild mushroom rangoons with hoison sauce- just chicken & mushroom inside a fried wonton-did not taste very seasoned
-2 fresh buffalo mozzerella wontons- cheese inside wonton w/ Â pomodoro sauce- not hard to mess up
-2 panko encrusted herb chicken tenders with vanilla honey dijon aioli- again the chicken did not taste season but the ailoi was fantastic
-2 honey habanero bbq chicken tenders with gorgonzola creme fraiche- when I ordered this, I asked the serve if it was spicy and she said it was. However, when I tasted it, it just tasted like sweet bbq sauce to me...
The others in my party had a cheese pizza and hamburgers. Â I tried a bite of a bacon cheeseburger and it was actually very good!
All in all, typical bar food that tries to be more upscale than it really is.
I came here with my girlfriend twice while up at the Cape.
The first time was kind of like "hmm..doesn't look like we fit in here" As it was early and it was a bunch of locals there drinking and eating. Also, the bartender asked for back up I.D. because we were from out of state, which is understandable, I had backup but my girlfriend didn't, but it was okay because she let us drink anyway!
Their drink prices are not bad at all. Mixed drinks were anywhere from 4-6 bucks, and yes, they were a decent size and full of alcohol, so that made me really excited.
...We then came back on a busy weekend night, or was it Thursday? I forget! Anyway, it was packed. It was cool to see a different bar scene other than Philly/burbs, but I have to say, we started to miss Philly's scene for a while. It's just not the same...And I can't exactly describe it...But it's just not.
The only peeve I had is that all the bars up there close at 1am...Which is kind of a bummer. They start to kick you out of here at like 12:45, which is not ok at all. THAT'S WACK! I couldn't even enjoy my last drink in peace. If I remember correctly they put on a police siren and yelled loudly that it was time to get out!
Oh well, it was a very entertaining experience... I'll be back again next year, and maybe I'll try there food!
To the haters of the Seaside nation, you're mindless.
Get past the yin-yang nature of the street sign, and step up to a bar that pours the heaviest $4 well vodka soda you've ever drink/drank/drunk.
The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because I never tried the food, which, I'm sure, is equally as alcohol-laden.
Hugs and kisses from the Cape!
Come here to be knocked on your ass by strong $4 well cocktails, tiny (yet feisty) patrons, searing one-liners, the repetitively (if not incredibly)informative barback who is NOT a bartender and the overwhelming feeling that the school of hard knocks might be the only one on the Cape.
Located at the end of the line, this bar will serve you well as a last resort.
I'm not sure why but I haven't been to Seaside Pub in over a year...until yesterday that is! I scoped out the menu online (which has defiantly been updated since my last visit).
It was a pleasant surprise to find BUY ONE/ GET ONE pizzas on Sundays! My friend and I ordered two pizzas which were really good, and obviously way too much food for us. We both got to take some home... (thinking about eating it for breakfast) We also ordered the buffalo mozzarella wontons, which were equally as good, except we only got 5 little wontons and they cost $7.95.
As ya know, I don't drink but the table across from us had the coolest contraption. It was a tall glass tower of beer! You could either buy 50oz or 100oz of draft beer, they put it right on your table & you enjoy with your friends! I might be out of the loop, but I hadn't seen that before!
There was a nice mixed crowd...A little bit of everybody... Lacking in the 'hot guy' department. Had the Sunday night vibe for sure...
Finished up the meal with a delicious cappuccino. I will be back... SOON!
TRIVIA NIGHTS Tuesdays and Thursdays. A great trivia night with fun questions and an awesome music round. The food is more exciting then your average pub. 7 different types of french fries, tasty sandwiches, prices reasonable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is sometimes the servers are a bit forgetful.
Review Source:Great burger, though the food is kind of expensive for the atmosphere ($1 extra for a slice of cheese on the burger, and no, it wasn't made of gold).
They seem unsure about whether they are a pub or a fine dining restaurant, but it was nice to find a place with tasty food to back up the high prices.
Very clean , fresh atmosphere for a main street pub.
I am pushing 40 so the crowd seemed a little young but fairly good mix. Very well behaved crowd - maybe due to off season and extreme cold front this weekend ( brrrr). Fresh simple fare - great selection of beer. No comment on the game thing did not try, and not interested.
The Seaside was one of the highlights of a recent trip to Hyannis in the off-season. We ended up here on our first night and the food, drinks, and ambiance were so great we just went back again the next night!
The quality of the food can't be beat - you can tell that they truly care about the experience you'll have eating there - the head chef even came out and talked to people about their meal. We had both burgers and chicken there - defeinitely try the not your average "paddy" melt. Oh, and the fries were DELISH - so many options from curry dusted to cumin/corriander seasoned!
The bar had endless drinks on the menu, and the vast majority of cocktails were under $7 - a great deal considering how generous they were with the liquor :)
the vibe is great - big screens, Wii competitions, board games you can play at your table or in the lounge area...and much of the people there were regulars that were friendly to welcome others.
In all, a place that is a must-visit for any venture out to the Hyannis area.
Fun place to visit. Drinks are a deal and the big screen Wii game is good fun. The bartender and owner were both very nice. ( The owner's knowledge of the Wii games was a bit scary, but quite impressive.) As others have posted, this is the place for a well priced drink. They also make good tropical concoctions, I am told. The menu was large and looked great but we were there for a quick visit so we will have to try the Seaside's food another time. We will be back. I understand there is a move afoot to to get the Man vs. Food guy to take the "I Dare You" Seaside Pub Challenge.
Review Source:I had a great time when I went here! The drinks are strong and MUCH cheaper than anywhere else I have been on the Cape.
I had the steak tips which were a little pricey, but my goodness they were worth every penny! My boyfriend got a burger which was very reasonably priced and looked amazing.
The service was amazing. I figured that because we were sitting outside we would be forgotten, but our waitress was constantly checking up on us and making sure all of our needs were met.
I wish I had time to go back but the summer went by too soon! I know I will frequent this place next summer!
A trip to Cape Cod would not be complete without a visit to the Seaside Pub. The chef is wicked talented and the menu is always a delight - with entrees that appeal to your home cooked meat and potatoes hankering or a more adventurous side. Â The drink selection is awesome and the mojitos are to die for. The staff is also warm and friendly. Overall a great experience for a night out.
Review Source:In regard to the last comment - the Wii is always available to play. If no one's there to play it, they put the T.V. on (mostly sports). If you want to play, just ask the bartender to turn it on.
The food is a little pricey, but good and the drinks are pretty strong. There is some outside seating. They also have a dart board and tons of board/trivia games.
New place, just opened a few weeks ago.
Pros: Features the Wii as a big entertainment piece (Ex: Sat's are 'disco bowling' nights on Wii). Also has dart boards, and board games. Food is great pub food but eclectic. Have sampled the chicken/wild mushroom wontons (the only complaint I have about these is they don't give you enough, absolutely divine), the pizzas are great (2 for 1 on Sundays), beer-battered tempura fish n chips, and 7 different kinds of fries (the cajun spiced and cumin yucca fries are top choice). Great menu/drink selection too. Pitchers of PBR for $8.
The cons: Now, I'm nitpicky about some of these but in all fairness...first the Wii thing. GREAT idea to bring to the Cape but every time I"ve been where there's been a Celtics/Sox/Bruins game of any time they never run the Wii. Sorry but either say you're a Wii bar and screw the sports games, or be a sports bar and ditch the Wii. Personally if I were you, keep the Wii, you have a niche that the other 50 bars in the area don't have, don't screw it up. Don't advertise you're doing a Wii night for something and then not have it because the Celts are on. You can't be both.
Second, the food while awesome, is a bit pricier than it should be. $18 for a steak tip plate? Come on guys. You advertise some good drink specials but charge an arm and a leg for entrees.
In short, this place has awesome potential, but they need to either be sure they run the Wii every night (AS ADVERTISED) or not have it at all. And you can afford to cut some of the food prices down.
Other than that great place, looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.
