Sippican Cafe Marion, MA: 78/351
Small town, nice place with a patio & open kitchen...lots of potential. Unfortunately they do not know how to do breakfast. Had eggs Florentine: I liked the ingredients, spinach, mushroom, tomatoes. However, the Hollandaise sauce was dull.
And it truly Failed at homefries....yuck!! Preprocessed crap.
"Nay!!"..... what a shame. This place could be fab, if they found themselves a great Chef.

Toast ...Hull, MA: 77/351
I tentatively give it a "Yay". Coffee was decent & the cinnamon French toast was pretty good. NOT as good as my all-time fav. I was disappointed in the brown potatoes in the homefries. I should have been more assertive and requested 1/2 cinnamon FT and 1/2 Creme Brulee FT....that way I could have tasted both and it would have been a good test on customer service.
It's not a "drive out of the way" type worthiness. But, I'll probably go back to try that CBFT.

The Breakfast Nook, Wareham, MA: doesn't count toward my town/city total.
This is for my co-worker, Robbie, he wants more updates.
Well, Robbie....this place is a "Nay!".
They're certainly very friendly here, but, the food is not worthy. I had regular eggs Bene w/homefries. The Hollandaise sauce was bland and the homefries were very dry, brown potatoes. Yuck.
Don't worry Rob...I'll let ya know when I find something good.

Hole in One, Orleans, MA: 76/351...there was a lot of positive reviews and a huge crowd at the door, so, I expected a treat. Nope. Started with a crabby waitress, I commented, "Crowd is nothing new! right? You've been doing this a while?"....she replied, "Yeah, 30 yrs"....OK then lady...no excuse for your attitude.
A got the garden eggs Benedict...spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms. Tomatoes were light pink, far from bright red & fresh, the mushrooms seemed like the type you pour out of a can. Lame!
Homefries are dreadful...mass produced, school cafeteria quality. Yuck. I tried the "homemade" corn beef hash..I doubt it! Very dry.
Seems a lot of people rave about the donuts....certainly hope they're better than breakfast.
"Nay!"

Vacation breakfasts: Barbados 7/3-7/6 2014
Bean n' Bagel: 1st try during my trip. Was recommended by a few locals. I thought the food was lame and fairly lousy. Seemed pre-made or "frozen" style. Not the friendliest server.
"Nay!"
Relish: 2nd try. Much better. Crisp, fresh, quality. I had an omelet (my mistake for not customizing it)...came plain, but, was fluffy & moist. With a side of Lox on a small bed of salad greens. I understand prices seem a little high, eg: $19 U.S. and coffee $6 U.S., but, IMO...if you're on vacation here, I really don't think people are counting pennies.
"Yay!"
Flindt's: Nice. Outdoor patio (street side, not beach side....still nice). I had crepes and scrambled eggs. Nicely plated. With strawberry jam & thick syrup. Eggs fluffy and moist. Tasty coffee.
Beautiful surprise...it was Sunday morning and I began to hear singing....turns out there's a old stone church across the way and the choir was performing. Wonderful!
"Big yay!"

Papa Stewies' Blackstone, MA: 75/351
I broke my rule against eating at "cash only" establishments, I couldn't resist a tiny, hole in the wall place. Officially my smallest to date...18 seats. In theory you would think a small joint would be able to use fresh, quality ingredients and prepare each meal with some innate goodness. NOT worth breaking the rule.
Quantity does not trump quality. I got about 1 pound of hash....was a step above dog food! So much for "homemade". They didn't offer any eggs Bene's, so I had an omelet. Paper thin with barely ripe tomatoes. Homefries were greasy and lame...couldn't exactly determine if they were red bliss. Weak coffee.
IMHO the main problem with places like this....is there are a ton of locals/regulars that are friendly with owner/chef and they don't have the balls to tell him that the food is lousy. Either that, everyone that eats here doesn't give a rat's ass about taste.
Huge "Nay!"

Crossroads Çafe & Deli: Hanover, MA. 74/351
Not bad. Coffee was weak. They had no problem with my ordering eggs Florentine, even though it's not on the menu. Homefries are red bliss, yet the seasoning was a little lame...ok enough to eat. Moderately busy and the service was quick enough for me.
So it's a "Yay!"
