Reviews Local Break

Love this place. Friendly, beautiful presentation of their food. Great place to relax and have a great meal.

Burgers are awesome... our waitress was spot on.. very courteous and friendly checked on us to make sure we were doing ok.. didn't care for some of the choices on the menu.. would rather more Pub type good, steak, seafood , etc without all the flair....

Absolute best cheeseburger in the Outer Cape!!! Forgot to add condiments,it was so delicious. Sweet Potato fries are incredible, and the dipping sauce is Amazing!!!

Nice casual atmosphere great service and background music 🎶. burgers and chowder were excellent !

Had the BBQ Chicken Enchiladas, and they were FANTASTIC!! The portion was so big that I had enough left over for lunch today😍

Good service, good food. Mixed drinks are a little light but that’s my only nitpick.

The shrimp po' boy was delicious and my wife's southern chicken was out of this world. Never a disappointment!!

Great food and great service. We visit the Cape for a week each summer. We make sure to visit Local Break at least once during that week. The food is spectacular and the service is excellent. This year we had 15 people and though they don't take reservations the staff went out of their way to make sure there was a table ready for all of us. I can't say enough about the service and the food. I look forward to it every year. Thank you!

My husband found this awesome spot on our annual getaway to the Outer Cape and my goodness what a find it was! The coconut curry w shrimp was next-level and the most comforting dish I didn’t know I needed this evening :) Not to be missed is the Mexican corn on the cob and the fish tacos which was served w simple greens and clementines but dressed w an incredible flavor that’ll I’m going to be thinking about for a long time.

We were in town for the day and stopped here for dinner, it did not disappoint! We had the fish tacos, chowder and local boil and it was all amazing!! The host, I think it was the owner, was so incredibly kind. They had a really loud dinner party the night we went and he was just so nice making sure the kids (as well as mom and dad) were ok with all the noise. Made an attempt to check on us multiple times. Will definitely come back here!

I came as soon as they opened bc I was backpacking, but soon enough, it got lively. Looks like a favorite spot for the locals and those who are passing by, such as I.

Great looking place inside. We ordered takeout and it was delicious! We got ribs and southern fried chicken and both were really delicious. They had been really busy with lots of takeout orders, but they cooked up a storm! All wearing masks and lots of space inside to maintain distance. Well done! We will be back for a beer at the bar when this COVID is over!

Laid back vibe with numerous vegan and vegetarian options available! Really loved the bar menu and would recommend the Punch or Strawberry Peach Lemonade alcoholic drinks.

This is a great place for dinner! I liked this place. Its tucked away in the back and wasn't super crowded. The food was very good! We got the ribs, tacos, tuna sandwiches, etc., and all of the food was very good. My husband got the local boil: clams, muscles, corn, sausage. It was tasty and spicy. I got the red blooded mule drink which was a fun play on a Moscow Mule with cranberry. I would go back for dinner!

Just a few weeks ago, I ventured onto the Cape by myself, something I had never quite done before. I stayed at my late aunt’s house on the inland shore in Eastham. Being the food lover (who does not love food?) but quite incapable cook I am, I decided to dine at local restaurants during my stay. During my search for local scenes to chow down at, one place particularly grabbed my interest- Local Break. Nestled behind an old bike shop, and next to a liquor store, they’re located in quite the inconspicuous spot. With limited dining space, yet a warm and welcoming atmosphere, I believe it is safe to consider Local Break “a hole in the wall.” Their minimal street side sign especially adds to the label. You quite literally have to be looking specifically for the Local Break in order to dine there- and that’s just fine. Looking for an easy night, I was simply browsing local restaurant menus and reviews for a good burger. Unfortunately, my dream for a nice burger quickly vanished at the discovery of quite the epic entrée. Named barbecue enchilada, I knew I couldn’t pass up this one in a lifetime opportunity. With genuine excitement accompanied by hunger, I made my way to Local Break. Upon entry of the establishment, I was able to choose my own seating. While this in itself is not particularly the bees’ knees of a fine restaurant, it adds to an impressive list of what makes this place kick ass. There’s a lot to be said about a great dining spot that lets you choose your own seating- they’re ready to please you. With a smile, I was given a glass of water and a menu. You could see the slight confusion in their eyes when I informed them that I was dining alone, but they soon understood. While not entirely uncommon, I’m sure people don’t dine there alone much. I opened my menu as if I hadn’t seen their menu just 20 minutes prior, and laid my eyes on the coveted entrée. I placed my order and soaked in the atmosphere of Local Break while I waited for roughly 20 to 30 minutes. The restaurant was a little darker than most, and while I’m not sure what mood they were trying to set, it definitely made the experience more intimate. Then came the moment I had been waiting for, the delivery of the dish. The barbecue enchilada, at first glance, had too much going on. There seemed to be way too many ingredients in the dish, many of which I thought would be fighting for attention. However, upon the taste of my first bite, I came to the mind blowing realization that this dish’s ingredients worked perfectly together. Local Break’s barbecue enchilada is a dish in which all the characters mesh together in quite the American harmony, with a little bit of Mexican spice. This dish was everything I dreamed it would be, and more. Who would have thought combining the American likes of barbecue with the tasteful, spicy bliss of a Mexican enchilada would create a masterpiece? Coleslaw, lettuce, barbecue sauce, chicken, corn, pepper, and what appeared to be guacamole (it was too dark to be 100% sure), all came together and crafted an allure of flavor. Whoever took it upon themselves to brilliantly collude these characters of flavor together should be taken in for testing. Clichés aside, this is, by far, one of the best original restaurant dishes that I’ve ever had. The dish had just the right kick; so perfectly calibrated that engineers at NASA would have been less accurate. It’s the type of spice that gives you a subtle runny nose, but doesn’t have you feeling buyer’s remorse after consumption. This dish consistently held its beautiful flavor from the first bite through the last. As I prepared to pay my bill and be on my marry way, a customer at the bar states, “Tell the chef that this is the best falafel that I have ever had!”

Only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because I feel the tables were a little close together, but fish tacos and salad were very tasty, service was excellent.
