Mad Martha's Cafe

Been going here for years on our beach vacations to Plum Island and MM is new and improved under new ownership! The food is as filling and delicious as ever, with generous servings and something for everyone in the family. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. The new owners have already added more seating and will add more yet. Don't miss it, and definitely wait for a seat if they're bustling. Your belly will be happy you did!

Decided to drive out from Newburyport to PI for brunch and what a rewarding decision. This place was like eating at your friends mums kitchen. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and the food was fresh and made with love. The hash was delicious, often it can be quite heavy / fatty / overbearing and it was none of these. The mayo / sauce was light and had a real jazz on the tastebuds. Only downside (although honestly if I was better prepared it would be an upside is it’s BYOB)

As a longtime Plum Islander and a local restaurant owner, I don’t give praise lightly — but Mad Martha’s Café earned it today. The Hash Reuben was outstanding: house-made corned beef hash, Swiss, sauerkraut, Dijon, and 1000 Island on marble rye. Comfort food done right, with real care and attention to detail. Mad Martha’s is a true Plum Island staple, and meals like this are exactly why locals keep coming back. Highly recommend.

We spend the summers on PI and have been eating here for decades. Love it, and pleased to see it’s even better under new ownership. Love the new layout and the new owners are super sweet. And it’s actually clean now! I have to admit, sometimes it was a little dirty prior to these owners. They were starting off the menu a bit lighter as they get their footing with no specials, but they will get there. Would much prefer higher quality and a smaller menu to start. I think this cozy place is going to be even more popular now. Expect a wait on weekends.

I work on PI regularly in the winter and have family on PI...I dropped in today while working because I remembered years ago I got a BLT on sourdough with avocado, and I wanted one today. It was even better than I remembered. Fresh mixed greens with fresh avocado, perfectly grilled sourdough with bacon and cherry tomatoes...off the charts!?
