Great little diner. Delicious breakfast sandwiches and muffins. Most friendly atmosphere you could expect. Big fan!

Outstanding breakfast at a good price. Loved the Idaho Omlet and homemade hash. I live here and keep coming back. I've been to all the rest and feel that its worth the wait here for such high quality food.

I wanna give this place one star so nobody else will go and I can have it all to myself. Heidi, the owner, cooks fantastic food - all of it from omelets to smuffins (what's a Smuffin? That's for you to find out!). Service? Rusty is at the helm there and I have never seen better. Seriously. You'll make this your breakfast home.

On that little side street at the bend where Rodgers St turns into Washington St The emphasis is most assuredly on the food here, not the atmosphere, which is home-town quaint, but oh, the cuisine is ultra-haute. The muffins are somewhere between "excellent" and "walks-on-water". Breakfasts are superior. I'm saving lunch specials on the weekend for another review. Very limited seating, but a big free municipal lot is across the street (St. Peter's Town Landing). Heidi, the owner, and Rusty, the waiter (he will tell you his story), are supremely Gloucester friendly.

Astonishingly rude and bad service...though it looks like others had more positive experiences with Rusty, he had nothing but disdain for us. Others who came in later than we did were served much faster-- apparently you have to be local to be treated with respect. We almost left, and probably should have. Not welcoming, to say the least....

I want to give this place six stars it was so good. The food was outstanding, I had the corn beef hash and it was the great. Although, the best thing was that we saw Heidi (owner and cook) make the whole thing. Sitting at the bar is the thing to do, talking to Rusty (the waiter) and listening to his story is fantastic. Definitely the place to go when in Gloucester.

What a great breakfast. Fort Sq Cafe never fails to satisfy me. My favorites are the 2-2-2, Idaho omelet and the linguicia bowl. Also, the muffins and other breakfast baked goods are fresh baked on a daily basis. As another yelper mentioned, the kitchen is small. Think of the kitchen in your house, but with an extra microwave, a few toasters and the electric griddle. With about 24 seats, if everyone rolls in at once, it can get a little backed up. At least get a coffee and a muffin to go if you are in that much of a rush. Fort Sq Cafe is plastic friendly and there is plenty of parking in the area.

amazing Linguiça and fluffy french toast. reminds me of eating breakfast in a family member's kitchen.... and takes about that long as well. suuuuper slow service in a homey kinda place. full of locals.... legit there is a household refrigerator in the dining room. but as long as you know all that going in... just sit back and enjoy the Linguiça.

Went here for a late breakfast. The irish eggs benedict was really good - it's really the corned beef hash that makes it, it's homemade and fantastic. Service was a little slow, but I think they were a little shorthanded. They have outdoor seating with a view of the outer harbor.

This place deserves to get on the Yelp map, with the caveat that more than a few orders at a time could well swamp the tiny and frazzle-prone kitchen. Also, I try not to review an establishment based on just one experience, but having sat at the counter in front of the kitchen this weekend, I feel I have a better than normal sense of the breakfast offerings. Another caveat is that if this review were based on food alone, I would give the place 3 stars. Fort Square gets an extra star for being a down-home, no frills kind of place where everyone seems to know each other and feel comfortable in their own skin. It's a nice place to get a feel for Gloucester and its people (and having grown up here I say this not in the patronizing out-of-towner way). The food: at least for breakfast, everything is cooked on a traditional four burner stove (with only 3 working burners [or perhaps on only 3 frying pans--I couldn't tell which was lacking]) and flat grill. The offerings are fairly extensive and some of the specials are creative (I ordered strawberry french toast with cream cheese and ice cream without the ice cream). The kitchen can only fit one cook, who blasts out omelettes on high heat on the stove and smothers them with cheese from small supermarket packets, pops a variety of store-bought breads into two toasters (because only half of each toaster works) and slathers them with butter, and cooks homefries, french toast, and bacon on the grill, all while running to the back kitchen to check on the soups and peeling potatoes for the potato salad, which people seemed to be picking up to-go. There is a friendly and talkative waiter who keeps the cook sane and keeps things moving. All in all, a good breakfast experience. Don't come here expecting to be served gourmet food in five minutes or you will surely be disappointed. Relax, eat a leisurely breakfast, then go for a walk around the Fort. Parking in the big brick plaza area in front of the restaurant is free.

Love this place. Gloucester has lots of terrific breakfast places, and being a big fan of breakfast "out," I've eaten at all of 'em. I put this one at the top of the list (with quite a few others close behind). I had the best omelette ever (an "Idaho Omelette," hold the Idaho) -- really light and fluffy but large, with lots of yummy ingredients. The waiter was super-nice, fun to talk to, showed us his tattoo dedicated to his brother, Bobby Shatford, and tho' not everything came out perfectly the first time, it was more than made up for with yummyness and personality. We chatted with some neighbors we hadn't met before (all the way from Magnolia ;-) and left very satisfied. I agree with the other reviewer that things might get hectic when they're slammed, but we went late and had a great experience.
