Four of us enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Driftwood on Saturday morning. We got there a little before 9 AM and got a table without waiting. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the food came in probably 20 minutes or so. The blueberry pancakes and the blueberry/banana pancakes were delicious! Veggie omelette was also very good, with all the ingredients properly cooked. The diner-style coffee was okay as expected. There aren’t many tables, but there is bar seating.

Driftwood is an institution and experience. Reminder: CASH ONLY. They focus on breakfast and lunch and have extremely affordable prices. There are always specials, and the food is homey and well done. I recently had their special French toast with lemon curd and blueberries, it was very good. They have tons of options and it’s super casual. I will of course be back and do recommend for breakfast if you find yourself in Marblehead.

**CASH ONLY** Very old little shanty serving up basic meals by the harbor. Very local so the food is prepped and served with love, service was quick and friendly. It was a foggy, rainy day so we had grilled sammies and chowder. Both were tasty and we’d def go back.

The Driftwood Restaurant is an absolute standout for both food and atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for everything from a casual lunch to a special dinner out.
The menu offers a great variety—fresh seafood, hearty burgers, and creative daily specials. I had the walleye sandwich and it was perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and loaded with flavor. The side of seasoned fries was a great touch, and the portion size was generous.
Service was fast and friendly, and the staff really went the extra mile to make sure everything was just right. The lakefront views (if you’re near water) or cozy indoor seating add to the experience, depending on the season.

Place is seriously amazing

Breakfast was delicious here. I had the biscuits and gravy with eggs and I thought it was great. The fried dough is also delicious and addictive. For a smaller place, they quickly accommodated our party of 8 and the service was very good. Cash only, FYI.
