Longfellow’s Pub

IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY… stay the hell away from this place!!! If you are not one of the locals you will be passed over for Bob and Jean and made to feel uncomfortable. I doubt they care about my comment even though I live close to this place.

Love this place! Yes, it’s small and townie. It’s in an area a tourist would have to stumble upon. The regulars are the ones that keep them open year round and they are appreciated. That being said, service is friendly, specials are affordable and they have the best prime rib in town.

Update to note that when I started to order off the specials menu, as opposed to the standard bar food, the food has improved. I had a genuinely good onion-​mushroom-​pepper soup on my last visit, and the Southwestern eggrolls were decent. I still don’t think the food is the reason to visit here, but I love the atmosphere, the lack of tourists, and the service, so despite the fact the place looks like the front for something, I’ll keep coming back when I want a little refuge from the tourist side of the Cape.

Excellent steak my family and I have been here many times, and every time the food is great. One of the most consistent places on the cape and not full of tourists.

Stopped by with MA and PA who are both regulars. Service and food was great. Had the fish and chips and the clam chowda.

I had heard they have a great Taco Salad so I called to order take out. They didn’t have that special but offered a Cobb Salad with Steak Tips that came with a cup of soup or clan chowder.
It was terrific. Salad was very fresh. From the lettuce to the tomatoes and cheese which was fresh cut and had blue cheese infused.
The balance of lettuce to toppings was perfect. Surprisingly, the last bite was a perfectly medium grilled steak tip.
As this is a pub type environment and near the commercial section of Yarmouth it’s more suited to price not ambiance.
I will go back and highly recommend this to you for food quality.

Thanks, great food and service. Great special featuring ½ lobster roll and fantastic chowder!

We have been here a lot over the years. It’d divey and the perfect local hangout. The bar is fun and is usually full of the local flavor.
Tonight, I got the Portuguese stuffed shrimp for 15.99 and the other three people got queen cut prime rib for 14.99. My meal was ok, but I wouldn’t get it again. The shrimp had no flavor at all. It was served with a baked potato and a small iceburg salad, which was pretty fresh. I’d give the shrimp meal a two at best.
I am giving this place four stars because every time we go there, my friends get the prime rib and rave about how good it is. For the price, the serving is huge! It comes with soup or salad and a baked potato. My female friend eats every single bite that is on her plate… I can’t imagine eating that much at once!
Friends got a grapenut custard for dessert, which was absolutely the biggest portion on the planet. One serving could have fed all four of us. I tasted it and it was really good… not dried out and gloppy, but a beautifully creamy custard.
Our waitress was really good, as usual.
Get here early on Friday because they usually sell out of the prime rib and the ice cream desserts.

This is a restaurant that does good pub grub disguised as a dive bar. There are relatively few places in the mid-​Cape area that do seafood as well as these guys. For the money, it’s a good bargain. The quahogs are really good, the clam chowder is good, and they do an excellent fish and chips. Try out the seafood sampler.
If you like a good spot to relax and play KENO, this is a good spot. Just don’t act like a tourist!

Longfellow’s is hard to find, especially if you use your GPS. The GPS will take you to Wendy’s, but keep going past it. It is worth the drive. It is a quaint little spot filled with locals. My husband and I couldn’t decide what to get, so we decided to share the backed scallops and a slice of prime rib. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the prime rib was tender and flavorful. The bartender recommended the homemade sangria for dessert and it was really good! We will definitely be going back here and are so glad we found it.

Great spot tucked away in a little strip mall. Clean, cozy and really chill. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Clean rest rooms are a plus. They serve cold Guinness (my go to drink). I have heard the home cooked meals are pretty amazing. I went to meet a friend (who is a long time regular here) to watch the Bruins win! Excellent night in a cool spot.

I liked this place very much: nice staff, very good food well presented and very reasonable. Hidden in a strip mall on the way to the old Yarmouth landfill it has no view and is a dark, pub kind of place. Clean, with no fruit flies! (amazing this time of year). Truly a locals place and a great hideaway during the season de touri.

We needed a quick and easy dinner, so we went to Longfellow’s. As soon as you step in, you know this is a townie dive bar. Tons of forty year olds drunk at the bar screaming 80s tunes at 7pm. This place definitely has a fun vibe.
We ordered stuffed quahog, and it was quite good. It came fairly quickly, and was piping hot. For the entrée we both got the fish and chips. I have never had as much batter as what was brought to me. It seriously felt like I had to break through a fortress to get to the fish.
Overall, the place is a dive bar, the service was poor, and the food was mediocre at best. You get what you pay for on the Cape, so if you want cheap bar food, this will work. If you want a quality dining experience, look elsewhere.

I love this place… I am not a local, but we stay in Yarmouth very frequently… the service is always good, the food is very good and well priced… they fill up the wine glasses generously and it is definitely a townie bar. The baked scallops are my usual choice or the twin lobsters for 21.99. Its a great place to do a tasty low key dinner.

Longfellows seems to be under the witness protection program. I’ve driven by it several times without noticing that it’s there. On the advice of a neighbor, my Wife and I gave it a try last Friday night. Even after we parked the car in the lot, I had to scan the building to find the entrance. Inside the décor is straight forward Cape Cod Pub. Fairly dark and very casual. No tourists, all locals. We were told we could seat ourselves and the waitress came right over with menus and took our drink order. The menu was what you would expect — apps, soup, salads, sandwiches, burgers, beef, chicken and seafood. The prices are very reasonable. They have nightly specials that supplement the menu or offer reduced prices. One of their specialties is Prime Rib, which I ordered. My Wife had the Fish & Chips special. Entrees come with a simple salad and potato. As advertised, the Prime Rib was excellent. Warm, with just the right amount of seasoning. The fish was a very generous piece of fresh cod. We both enjoyed our meals very much. Service was fine. The only thing I would change was that I ordered the King Cut of Prime rib, which was a large 2 inch thick portion. Next time I’ll get the Queen Cut.

I went to Longfellows last monday. I hadnt been there for quite a long time. It was late around 9 I was tired form a long day and needed some prime rib. We were seated quickly and ordered some beers and a quahog to start. Beers and quahog arrived quickly and for 5.50 you get 2 quahogs, not a bad price. The quahog was basic, hot and tasty and it is what it is. We both ordered the prime rib. its only 12.99 and it comes with a good salad, the meat and a stuffed baked potato and a veg. Not a bad price compared to others nearby. The prime rib was a big cut, cooked perfectly and very tasty. We both commented that we need to come here more. The server was friendly food was great and came out quick and the restaurant was clean and warm and a good neighborhood place.

ugh — why are there so many places of such low quality?

I recently visited Longfellow’s for the first time this past Saturday night. While it’s hard to beat they’re twin boiled lobsters with your choice of salad or soup and a starch for 21.99 every Friday and Saturday night, I did not appreciate the waitress’s response when asked about a vegetarian option. My friend asked what they could do for a vegetarian and the waitress replied, «You came to the wrong place.» Not, we have these options … or, hold on a minute, let me see what the kitchen can do to accommodate you. Let it be known that I’m a not even close to being a vegetarian, however I don’t think someone should feel ostracized (especially at a restaurant) for their dietary restrictions. It was a rude response and the staff at Longfellow’s should show a little more tact the next time.
Three out of four of us ended up going for the twin lobster deal and my veggie friend had a plate of pasta with zucchini and summer squash with some onion, pesto and other veggies. It looked and tasted fine. The lobsters aside from being a good deal, were about 1.25lbs a piece and the meat was sweet. The shells were easy to crack and I don’t think I made too much of an ass of myself trying to deconstruct it. While the potatoes left a lot to be desired, the clam chowder I tasted was better than average.
