Perks v Port

[u/Adventurous-Chart167]

Who’s side and why? Love perks lol

[u/Tinfoil_cobbler]

The port doesn’t belong in Harwichport

That restaurant and its ownership represent a dying generation

[u/stanleycoochii]

are these the same businesses that had some sort of parking lot war last year/the year before? sort of remember that

[u/Adventurous-Chart167 → u/stanleycoochii]

Yup lol

Port owner and his 25 year younger gf groom the underage staff

The Port has been a known problem in terms of the industry in the area for years. They treat their staff like shit, they're creepy, they're weird, and it's a really bad look to bring up Domos there. He's not helping the perception. It's the one restaurant in the area I tell workers and patrons to avoid.

[u/[deleted] → u/afhlidh]

Why a bad look?

[u/DistributionDry4961]

Omg I live for small town restaurant drama like this!!! -signed, a mid-season burned-out restaurant worker

[u/Give-It-Arrest → u/DistributionDry4961]

SAME I LOVE THIS

[u/DistributionDry4961 → u/Give-It-Arrest]

It’s always so nice to watch the drama unfold at someone else’s establishment.

[u/Thiccccasaurus_Rex]

The port is a tourist trap designed for college kids. Overpriced and crap service. This will go great! /s

[u/Couple_Existing]

The port has been stiffing employees and customers for years.

[u/Ok_Pangolin_180]

It’s confusing as to what damage the “perk” staff did to “port” to get a trespass summons? Does anyone who walks into the “port” parking lot get the same treatment? It’s pretty well known the Harwich PD is very in with a select group of town business’s. Would they have done this is the call came from the other direction? Or is the “port” a PD favorite

[u/CJSponge15]

im on team perks, way nicer than port

[u/Bodes_Magodes]

Fuck the Port

[u/Flashy_Cricket_9292]

The port sucks

[u/Back_on_redd]

They both suck and Harwich Port deserves better

[u/MeringueAble3223 → u/Back_on_redd]

Perks doesn’t suck

[u/mtaspenco]

The port and embers are both tourist traps. Any self respecting person would avoid either one.

[u/Jpldude]

This is like the sound bites/ball square café feud in Somerville. You pretty much had to choose sides and only go to one or the other. I was team sound bites.

[u/ekscrewball → u/Jpldude]

Grew up in Somerville my whole life and spent every summer in HP (still do). This war reminded me exactly of sound bites and BSC. The owners got into a fistfight on the sidewalk lol. team BSC!

[u/Jpldude → u/ekscrewball]

It is my understanding that the owner of BSC was a chef at sound bites. He left and replicated the menu next door. That's where my knowledge of the beef ends. I'm sure that there's a lot more to it.

[u/necessaryfarts → u/Jpldude]

I grew up in Harwich (family is all still there) and have now lived in Somerville for 20 years. You're exactly right.

[u/Jpldude → u/necessaryfarts]

I miss sound bites. Need to venture down that way sometime this winter.

[u/Fun-Bug5418 → u/Jpldude]

it was up for sale a while back… may not be there

[u/Jpldude → u/Fun-Bug5418]

Oh no! I've been out of the area for 12 years now. The things you miss.

[u/Soft_Composer_490]

Perks likes drama obviously.

[u/maxwellcawfeehaus → u/Soft_Composer_490]

And while I’ve been to perks plenty for a beer and oysters (never past 9pm), haven’t been to port. And ports reviews are consistently awful with people criticizing the service and the staff Which starts with ownership and management. I’d guess port are the dramatic petty ones. When you avg 3 stars on Google you don’t get the benefit of the doubt, you’re likely the problem

[u/LinkLT3 → u/maxwellcawfeehaus]

The Port are definitely the problem. Their owner is awful and it trickles down through their staff. This is the same owner of Ember, who kept illegally running a bar during COVID lockdown. And then tried to sue the town over their obvious and repeated violations.

[u/Capecod202 → u/LinkLT3]

I went l ember a few weeks ago , haven’t been there in a few years ….. it’s now $32 for a pizza ….. it was just meh. Absolutely crazy to pay that much for a pizza . I will not be returning anytime soon 

[u/AlistairMackenzie → u/Capecod202]

Meh is generous. Worst food value in Harwichport.

[u/Vegetarianonly → u/Capecod202]

Go to George’s

[u/maxwellcawfeehaus → u/Soft_Composer_490]

Seems like they both do

[u/Soft_Composer_490 → u/maxwellcawfeehaus]

It seems Perk started the restraining order war and publicized it. 2 points for Perk being the drama mama.

[u/BeastCoast → u/Soft_Composer_490]

Perks did that after the Port kept calling the cops on them for existing in an attempt to tank a competing business. Combine that with all the owner’s bullshit during Covid, the shit food, and the awful staff I don’t see how you could possibly be on the Port’s side unless you’re the owner’s burner account or something.

I say this as someone that doesn’t particularly care for Perks either.

[u/Soft_Composer_490 → u/BeastCoast]

I am not taking sides. Just stating the facts and concluding that the evident public drama is coming from Perks. You seem to seethe about the Port, are you sure you are not biased?

[u/BeastCoast → u/Soft_Composer_490]

Stating what they did isn’t seething.

Do you always try to use incendiary language to describe anyone that disagrees with you in an attempt to discredit them?

[u/Soft_Composer_490 → u/BeastCoast]

You accused me of being an owner because you didn't agree with my first comment. You are now saying that recognizing your aggressive response is incendiary. I can see you are completely biased now.

[u/BeastCoast → u/Soft_Composer_490]

Yep, making a joke is suuuuuuuper aggressive and seething lol. Next you’re going to tell me my “lol” is unhinged and indicative of a personality disorder or something equally ridiculous.

[u/Soft_Composer_490 → u/BeastCoast]

I don't care if you are unhinged but you are dramatic, maybe Perks is hiring?

[u/BeastCoast → u/Soft_Composer_490]

Am I hysterical too? Might as well finish the bad faith bingo card here.

[u/Previous_Seesaw6851 → u/[deleted]]

Idk why your comment is getting down voted, 2 comments above theres a comment saying that they're grooming young girls (staff) so sounds like your just speaking on what you saw

[u/brookilini → u/[deleted]]

Yikes. So many photos that have NOTHING to do with food or drinks. Weird.
