Eating Out in Massachusetts

Plymouth: China Pilgrim, 204 South Meadow Dr. Phone (508) 830-1888 Good spicy meals, extra hot sauce upon request, nice combination platters for lunch includes soup, egg roll or crab rangoon (a bit bland on the crab rangoon) and your entree. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. Pleasant surroundings. (8/2011)

Wareham: Bailey's Surf N Turf, 3056 Cranberry Hwy, Phone (508) 295-1700 Pleasant surroundings, friendly service although we weren't advised of the night's specials like the locals were when they walked in. Denny and I both had the fish and chips and Denny also had clam chowder which he enjoyed. Our fish, while fresh and hot, had a very bland breading, the cole slaw was neither tangy nor sweet just “there”, and even the malt vinegar had no kick. I was very disappointed because everything really looked good. Another restaurant popular with the older local citizens. Reasonable. (8/2011)

Cranberry Cottage, 246 Marion Rd. Phone (508) 291-1515 Be advised that the noise level is so high here that they may not hear the phone if you call for hours. Very popular with the locals, this restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch only, breakfast only on Sunday. Denny had eggs, potatoes and sausage, I had eggs, potatoes, ham and french toast. Both were served hot, the meats were delicious, the meal well cooked. We'd go back. Reasonable. (8/2011)

Mill Pond Diner, 2571 Cranberry Hwy, Phone (508) 295-9688 A large but authentic diner, we hoped for a good breakfast here. Denny and I both had the Spanish (Geraldo) omelet which was overpowered with salsa. It was well cooked but hard to enjoy with all the tomato-y topping. Hash browns seem to be unknown up here but the home fries (always chunks of potatoes rather than the sliced potatoes of the Midwest) were good. A bit pricey. (8/2011)
