Hearth'n Kettle

Hearth'n Kettle

Can you think of a name for a restaurant that has a more quintessential New England sound than Hearth n Kettle, me neither. It is just as New Englandy as it’s name implies. Heavy wooden tables and booth decorated with murals depicting local scenes. Ours was the Old Stone Bridge on EEL Pond 1878. This is one of seven restaurants of which most are located on the Cape and all are in the eastern part of Massachusetts.

We decided to come here for breakfast. The menu offers some unique choices. The Nor’easter is a savory bacon and cheddar scone topped with Canadian bacon, poached eggs and cheese sauce; the Down’easter is seafood cakes topped with poached eggs, bacon, and cheese sauce. Paying homage to the local Portuguese population the Brazilian Omelet and Wrap include that staple of Portuguese cuisine linguica with onions, peppers, and cheese. I was very tempted by the Apple Walnut French Toast and pancakes but finally settled for the Plantation Special, two eggs, bacon, sausage, homefries, and toast. Al chose the Plantation omelet which had three cheese, bacon, sausage, homefries, and toast.

I swear, they must use jumbo eggs, I have never seen two scrambled eggs look so big, it was way more than I could eat. I had the seven grain toast and they were delicious. The homefries had lots of good flavor but were not quite as crisp as I like. The bacon was perfectly cooked.  Al’s omelet didn’t have any brown on it and his marble rye toast were also very good.

I like the fact that they leave a carafe of coffee on the table so that you can help yourself. Our waitress refilled the carafe when it ran down. Service was just about perfect. We were greeted cordially when we walked in the door and had almost no down time before our waitress appeared. We weren’t quite ready to order so she gave us a minute or two but never left us feeling neglected.

There are plenty of vegetarian choices here too, including but not limited to the grilled portabello veggie omelet or wrap and a Florentine omelet.

Lunch and dinner are also served here offering hearty sandwiches, burgers, salads, beef dishes, and lots of seafood. There is also loads of comfort foods like shepherds pie, chicken pot pie, and lobster chowder. This is definitely a very family friendly restaurant.

This is a chain of restaurants; we visited the one in Falmouth. They serve typical family fare, but we thought the seafood was particularly good. Their website is www.hearthnkettle.com.

I had the scrod when we visited. This fish is caught fresh every morning and is a house specialty. It was terrific.

My husband and son had the lobster roll. Lobster roll seems to be served in just about every restaurant on the Cape, but this restaurant's was particularly good. On another night I had a lobster at Hearth and Kettle, which was a little less impressive (you can probably find much better elsewhere).

The Hearth & Kettle range are really good value for a hearty breakfast. Not so hot on main meals (lack a little imagination). Seem to be very family friendly.

We had heard a lot about this place and were very disappointed. The service was unable to handle a large crowd.

The menu looked good -- it looked like it had all types of food. The only problem is the food was not prepared well. No one in our crowd of 25 were happy with their meal.

Parking was not a problem in this area. There is a lot in the area. In fact, there is a museum directly across the street.

I normally try to go to a place more than one time especially if it was not good. But in this case I will never go back. I would not recomend you go here. They had poor service and the food had no taste. Also we were there in the off season when it is not busy. There was no excuse for the poor service and food that took so long to arrive.

Excellent food and well-prepared with a great wine selection. The lobster bisque was excellent. This is one of several in Cape Cod but is much better than the "99" food served.
