Cuisine: It’s a mix. Pizzas are popular, but there are a few entrees, including catch of the day, a pork chop, and steak frites. Also, two salads, clam chowder, a burger, chicken sandwich, fish tacos, and wings.
Atmosphere: The bar is a like an over-sized, old-fashioned basement, with country music playing the night we were there and lots of people mingling at the pool tables. There’s dinner and dancing on Saturdays, karaoke on Sundays, and a host of other events you can find on the website. Out on the patio, there are about 20 tables with plastic tablecloths, some Adirondack chairs, a ping pong table, corn hole, and Tiki Toss.
Hours: The Pequot opens at 5 p.m. every day but Tuesday, when it’s closed.
Service: The wait staff is attentive, and there seems to be a lot of them, but the kitchen wasn’t running on all cylinders when we visited.
Prices: Remember, you’re on an island, and everything arrives by boat, so expect to pay a little more. The food is not cheap, but it’s not outrageous either. Credit cards: Yes, they take them.
Handicapped access: There are steps out front, but the dirt parking lot is at patio level and accessible to both outdoor and indoor seating.
