Pangaea Cafe & Pub

Update 2020: The original Pangaea building on Main Street has closed, and they've moved to East Quincy in the the old steakhouse building. They're only doing sushi some weeks, and only take out on others, but they're dabbling in dine-in when they can (the pandemic has been messing with that).

It took me a while to go into Pangaea, having the kind of family that was scared of "hippie food", but as I learned to love all kinds of food, I started going more and more. That was years ago. Now, we tell other people to get over their fear and come in. It's surprising, but, they have one of the best burgers in town, with local beef and awesome seasoning. And you can't go wrong with constantly rotating beers on tap. If you're not having beer, the Suebee's Special is like nothing else. It depends on who is making it (sometimes it's not sweet enough or a little overpowering), but the blend of lemon juice, maple syrup, mint, and ginger is something I'm a big fan of.

It's the only place to get sushi in the county (Thursdays). I've had some odd sushi in Pangaea, but's creative and original, and they do it well. I just wish they'd add more sauce. They do some great homemade sauces, but they put so little of it you can't taste it. Speaking of sauces, the tomatillo-cilantro sauce they put on the nachos and some salads is to die for. I just recently became a big fan of their pesto pasta salad, too.
