6 reviews for The Yardarm
Small place, but great food and atmosphere. It's a casual place to grab a quick meal or knock back a few brews after a long day at the beach. I went with a few girlfriends a few weeks ago before a night on the town, and our meals were really good. I got a stuffed clam and coleslaw, and my friends got fried clams and a hamburger. All were satisfing and the prices were just right (Especially for recent college grads. like ourselves who are still unemployed due to this great economy). Stop in for some drinks or a fresh, Cape Cod seafood dish!
Don't be afraid--those big, bearded guys at the bar are actually the town officers and local school teachers. The Yardarm is where you go after you've grown tired of being taken by the Land Ho. Small-but-nice bar, good food and lively service. Solid.

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

Most economical place in town for fish and chips. Also for the hungry man they have the large (gut-buster) portion.
Nice folks there but the food was very disappointing. We were a party of 5 (2 kids and 3 adults) and started with nachos and mozzarella sticks. The nachos arrived with a very thick blanket of raw diced onions on top. This struck us as both unusual and unappetizing... seems there should be a warning (on the menu or from the waitstaff) if they must serve nachos this way. Really, how many people enjoy this? One child at the table inhaled the mozzarella sticks -- they seemed fine. One of us then had a side spinach salad which was enormous, fresh, and very nice. 2 of the adults ordered steak specials (one filet mignon and one NY sirloin). Though we both ordered the steaks cooked medium, they arrived very rare. We sent them back and they arrived a few moments later, charred on the outside and slightly more cooked on the inside. They tasted awful. Even A1 sauce did not render this meat palatable. Fortunately, when we told the waitstaff that the steaks were unsatisfactory and asked them to adjust the check, they did comp the steaks and charge us for soup instead. However, the staff were clearly very irritated -- though our waitress admitted on our way out that the chef had been ruining steaks lately. We did enjoy the draft beer selection (Bass, Stella, Cape Cod IPA) and the kids loved the restaurant's own bottled lemonade. We were also glad to be able to watch the Sox game. If they fixed the steak it would be an all right experience.
I went on vacation to the cape for a few days and my friend took me here to eat. This place is a great local spot as it has a bar as well as seating for guests. I ordered the NY sirloin with the mashed potatoes. The steak was done perfectly and the mashed potatoes were fantastic. The only complaints I have with this place are that it is a little pricey and the space is limited.
