“The Worst Waiter In The World Serves Here.”

Mayflower Cafe

Oct 15, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

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 waitress for over 5 years and have never been rude to anybody who waited on me. But this guy really ruined my appetite.

Thank God, the replacement waiter was attentive, helpful, and most importantly respectful.

Beside the treatment, the food was nothing to brag about. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

“I wouldn't make it #1, but it wasn't a bad place to eat”

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.

“#1???”

Mayflower Cafe

Sep 30, 2008

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.

“How is it possible this is #1?”

Mayflower Cafe

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 you like Friendly's, you'll like the Mayflower.

“Vegetarians: go somewhere else.”

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 alot...but I thought P-town would have more to offer than this. Next time I'll try the international menu when visiting. It is the 21 century...right? vegetarians are not taboo as being gay isn't taboo in P-town. Mayflower, you are indesperate need of a menu overhaul.
