I've been all around the world and have never been treated by a waiter with such an attitude. "I'M BUSY. CAN'T YOU SEE?" No, he didn't just imply the sentence. He said it to my face. Mayflower is a joke. When I asked him to get me a different waiter, he ran off saying, "OK. THAT'S IT!" I was a... more

We ate a lunch and a dinner at the Mayflower. I had the fish both times and it was good. The Portuguese Fish and Chips was good when I had it...as was the fish sandwich. It wasn't what I would call the best dining experience ever, but the staff was friendly and I would go there again. more

I'm not sure that this can possibly be the #1 restaurant in Provincetown and I feel bad for the other restaurants in the area that put more thought into their food and atmosphere. Food was decent, but yes, very much a diner experience. Nothing special about the place. more

As others have noted, this is a diner-like, chain-food type of dining experience. Like the Lobster Pot, it's a place for tourists, but the Pot has outstanding food. My niece failed to call me before eating here. She ordered lobster bisque soup then lobster ravioli. She said it was the same sauce for the soup as on the pasta. If... more

Vegetarian visitor that ended up hungry at the end of the girls night in P-town. This place is cheap. So cheap they served me mixed frozen vegetables as side dish and the rice pilaf was nothing more than oil-laden white rice. The waitstaff doesn't even say pardon me as they reach over your food to pour beverages. Maybe I expect... more

Great restaurant on the main street in Provincetown - in the mould of a traditional British fish and chip shop. Great prices, great service and decent no frills food. Not one for a romantic special night but if you're after a good quick meal would definitely recommend it. Despite looking like a cafe has a full bar and mixes a... more

The Mayflower is one of my favorite stops when I visit P-town. The food is always top-notch in a casual eatery kind of way. I'd say their staff is several stars above average for a tourist town and are a pleasant change from the aloof staff you find in most other seasonal restaurants. I like the ambiance of the historical... more

The Mayflower Cafe is a historical treasure set smack dab in the middle of all the 'action' P'Town has to offer. It is a welcome oasis from all the chi-chi, pretentious and overpriced joints that line Commercial Street. It is not snobby, elitist or precious. It is welcoming to all, serves great food and at very reasonable prices. Presentation is... more

Most reasonable prices in town if you're trying to feed the family without breaking the bank. We ate there twice, had lobster rolls and clam chowder one night, both very good, then had eggplant parmesan, also very good. Very fast service, we never waited long for anything. more
