 I read the last review and was hesitant about the Prime Rib. When I spoke to the owner he was shocked about the comment of a cold Prime Rib. Three of us ordered the Grilled Prime Rib and it was excellent. The only odd thing about this place was the method of payment. No Visa or Mastercard. Only American Express, Discover Card, Cash or Check. So I recommend the Frigate for a nice dine out evening. Just bring the right card or cash with you.

The Frigate is a hidden gem. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere in Marion, so you probably have driven right by it enroute towards the cape on Route 6 going either direction, but it's definitely a great place. They start you off with this great bread selection and I'm pretty much full after that. Sweet cornbread, insationable carrotbread, and warm dinner rolls make it a treat to start off with and that's all part of the meal. Then you can get a variety of foods from italian to steaks and prime ribs and such. Their prime rib is decent-sized and not too expensive (around $19 or so). Their chicken parmesan is also a favorite loaded with cheese and a big amount chicken breasts. I'm not going to get into prices and all because when I go out, as long as it's not costing $100 per person, I'm fine with it and just want a good meal. Now, I do like the Frigate a lot, but on my way from Fairhaven down Route 6, Mike's Restaurant might have the best deal in town for a person interested in a good piece of meat and lobster! For like $29 or so, you can get a chick lobster with butta and a cattleman's cut of prime rib with 2 sides and the whole shebang... it's my personal favorite. One small issue I had once there was that the rib was a bit cold in the middle (I like it medium-rare to rare, so I understand it's precooked and kind of heated back up). They have great soups and little side salads. The waitresses are fantastic (see Glenda) and I even had a Jack & Coke once there, which was the only alcoholic beverage I had ever ordered there, and that wasn't too bad either. It's a great family place and is well worth the experience, so I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good, non-corporate meal. I can't stand corporate places these days... except Pub 99, good old beantown company (99 State St.)
