Patuxet Cafe

Let’s face it — you’re dining here for the convenience. You’ve just visited the living history museum, you and your kids are tired and hungry, and you don’t feel like scouting some other site (plus parking) a few miles away in Plymouth at that point.
The proprietors understand the above also; they aren’t competing much on price, service, or quality.
You order your food at a counter and get a number. You can then find a seat in the dining room or on the patio.
The quality of the food is about as expected. It is similar to cafeteria food you’d get in places like the Smithsonian in Washington, DC (though to be fair, it is probably more like what the Smithsonian offered 10+ years ago). That’s not to say it is bad; it’s just very average.
The service is a bit spotty as well. We had two groups that ordered separately but at the same time. The types of items were not that divergent, either. However, one group was nearly finished with their food before the other group was served. They had begun to wonder if the order was lost.
If I had it to do over again, I would still have lunch here. Just don’t expect too much and you’re likely to be satisifed.

It’s the only place around if you are hungry while visiting the Plimouth Plantation. I’d say «edible» but not tasty. You’d be better off bringing a lunch or waiting until later. The staff is nice, just the food looks, and likely tastes like inmate meals on Orange is the New Black.

This is the café of the Plimoth Plantation living history museum. Mostly prewrapped sandwiches and other items, but quality. Prices very reasonable. Counter service only.
