“Hidden GEM! Very Yummy Food. My partner got the fish and chips each time and I tried a few others throughout our week. The owner worked their butt off each and every time. He is what service should be. It was a quaint little spot and I can't wait to go back next year if we are in this area! Thanks Jim *Cash Only, but has an ATM there!“

I don’t usually write up reviews but they made a fan today.“

Their prime rib is delicious and always cooked perfectly.The only downside is that there are not many gluten free options on the menu. If you're gluten free, stick with the steak!Dietary restrictions: Some gluten free options on the menu. Servers are very nice and will happily make adjustments for dietary restrictions (e.g., I ordered my whole meal without sauces or butter)“

This is a wonderful place and delicious food everyone so kind ?“

“1st time visitor, my grandson (4) loved his chicken fingers & fries and (of course) his ice cream. His Mom loved her buffalo chicken fingers & onion rings, I loved the fish & chips. More than enough food, we all had plenty to bring home. Friendly service as well. We'll be back, good value in this day and age.“

“Great food, service by Evan was awesome.“

“The everything omlete and home fries was great, next time I go I'm thinking about trying something from their lunch menu“

“Location is convenient when we leave Cape Cod for the world beyond. The food quality is consistently good. I generally enjoy a steak; my wife choses between steak, salmon or prime rib. Nothing is overly seasoned and always cooked just as ordered. The bread loaf is a nice treat, and we usually have salads as well. Our server, FLORENDY, is a joy any time we are lucky enough to have her. One of the best we have seen in any restaurant, regardless of price points. Free parking with easy access off of Rt. 195 and 495 in Wareham, MA.“

“Went for breakfast here today, and it was very good. The food was perfect, and the service was good and affordable, clean, and waitresses were very friendly, I did think it was a little small for all the business they get but all in all still good place, maybe think about opening up somewhere more spacious though...just “

“Used to be one of my faverite places, stopped there last week and ordered a clam strip plate and unflavored ice tea the bill came to over 27. dollars, off my favorite list now.“

“Our first time here. We had breakfast, (bacon & egg with huge yummy blueberry muffing and a bacon & cheese omelet with English muffin and home fries). Everything was very good. The food and server was fast, and she was very friendly. Even though it was busy. And all for a great price too! We'll be returning to this place!Parking: Some parking in the front, but large parking lot in the back. And a rear entrance as well.“

“I loved the food, but if you say your dog friendly then actually be considerate if a dog barks once or twice. I was told I would have to leave if my dog barks again (only barked once because he got excited about food and being in a new place). Just my opinion, but if you list yourself as a dog friendly place then you should expect not all dogs are just going to sit still and not bark or move around a bit. Dogs aren’t made to just sit still. I would love to come back as long as they don’t complain about me bringing my dog.“

“very professional worker's great food awesome drinks“

“My girlfriend and moved to the area recently about 2 months ago we love to come to Ansel's cafe at least once every 2 weeks sometimes once a week the food is absolutely amazing the service is impeccable and the drinks are outstanding there is no better place I would rather spend my money and feel fully satisfied going home and may I add the garden is amazing“

“Pizza is the best around!“

“The food was excellent, but I really wanted to give our server, Danielle, a shout out for excellent service. She took the time to go through the menu with me, gave me her honest opinion on the best dishes, and gave us the perfect amount of attention—not too much, not too little. Really great experience here.“

“Delicious food at reasonable prices with great service.“

“Great Portuguese food wonderful ambiance cozy and comfy..“

“I order from Algarve quite a bit, very nice people, amazing food!“

“Bayside is a restaurant/bar, or I should say a bar/restaurant. It's not a beautiful interior and no quiet romantic dining here. Many customers seem to be local regulars and I find it to be a friendly place. Every food item I have ordered has been fantastic. Their burgers are very good but their seafood is some of the freshest tasting that I have found in the New Bedford area. Most dishes are served with either fries or tater tots and they are great too.“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Underrated gem! Super good atmosphere, the food is the best in the city honestly, price wise and taste wise! Incredibly good selection. I promise it’s not what it used to be, too many people pass this place without giving it a shot, it’s an absolute GEM! What a nice place, I’m so happy I decided to stop by despite what many of the older crowd has said to me. I’m a local, I’m 21, and I’m a young guy, apparently according to the locals this place was such a dive back then. I could not be more happy to learn that it’s not what it used to be at all! Nancy is a wonderful bartender, chef, and owner! Highly recommend!“

“The chef does an amazing job the bartenders are so sweet and friendly and welcoming!!! Definitely an amazing place to stop in have a meal with a drink and play some pool or ping pong“

“this is such a great place to eat, all the workers are extremely friendly, and the Owner is such a good guy,“

“I have been there several times and would go more if I didn't live 40 miles away. I think the people that don't like this place are to used to cookie cutter chain stores. This is family run business and it has that feeling. I avoid chain stores as I rather support local businesses“

“Excellent on all levels. Large menu,so there are many choices. The decor is excellent. I had a hamburger that comes with hand cut fries. If you like fries, you have to try these. My wife had sushi and liked it very much. Chocolate cake for dessert. Service was quick and efficient. We highly recommend it.“

“What a way to start the day, Ordered breakfast for myself and co-workers today! As soon as you walk in they make you feel welcomed. The food was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!! I never hear anyone say anything about TOAST, but these ladies all came and said how good it was, LOL TOAST.. ALL IS WELL THIS HAPPY THURSDAY! THANK YOU!!!“
