Arthur and Pat's, Marshfield MA

Being a breakfast person I have heard much about this unique and small yet unforgettable place located in Marshfield just seconds from my favorite beach spots. My first time going was just recently on July 4^th of course a holiday and this area being particularly busy during this time, the breakfast & lunch quaint restaurant had a line out the door. We were fortunate enough to get a spot at the counter and when walking in you are welcomed with colorful signs, displaying their offerings as well as pictures of the owner with celebrities of varying talents from music to cuisine. Once up at the counter we were greeted by several friendly waitresses in tie die shirts giving the place a very friendly comfortable and inviting atmosphere.  Coffee is my addiction but at Arthur and Pat’s I think I died when it read cappuccino as an option on their menu boards, which are displayed for the restaurant to see. On top of what they offer everyday on their menu boards you will also receive a special menu with at least 10 breakfast items ranging from multigrain waffles with almonds and raspberry coulis to a scrambled migas, a texas styled scrambled with tortilla strips and fresh verde sauce. Not many breakfast places offer fresh fruit on their menu but not only is the fruit fresh all the ingredients they are cooking with back in the kitchen are. Lucky for us since it was the holiday they had a specialty red white and blue waffle which included a blueberry crumble fresh strawberries and whipped cream. This Belgian waffle was perfectly browned, soft but not soggy and the blueberry crumble was something I’ve never had on a waffle before rather this particular crumble ever. It was flavorful addicting and with just the right combination of a sweet strawberry, the crumble, whipped cream and that mouthwatering waffle on your fork I was left completely satisfied and an empty plate within seconds. I ordered the organic sunny side up eggs with grilled asparagus, shaved Parmesan and a truffle salt that was just slightly sprinkled over the dish which also included a small mixed green salad and multigrain toast. This dish was spot on, all ingredients worked so well together and the asparagus was cooked perfectly with just the right char and bite to it, not a fan of soggy asparagus that’s for sure! I’m not a fan of truffle but this salt with the combination of egg and asparagus really accented and brought out the flavors making it the perfect start to my day. Chris ordered an original 2 egg breakfast off the board with egg whites home fries, rye toast and bacon. An option for their home fries, is getting them loaded with peppers onions and a béchamel sauce. Chris opted out but of course I wish he hadn’t, because rumor has it these home fries are all the rage.  However he was left full as the portions are big and absolutely worth the cost. Everything on the menu is unique and fresh which is necessary to maintaining a successful restaurant. Apparently it’s also BYOB which come on who wouldn’t want to take advantage of that! With the many different options Arthur and Pat’s offers for breakfast I knew I had to try lunch!
