Odd Fellows Cafe — Restaurant in New Shoreham

I’ve visited this location several times, and while I haven’t always had a pleasant experience, having witnessed the owner become noticeably irritable and even irate when the shop gets busy, I still found myself returning. That makes what I’ve learned about the treatment of employees all the more troubling. It’s deeply concerning to hear that the owner, Kate, has repeatedly failed to pay staff on time, despite being fully aware of the high cost of living on the island. Not only that, but promising their final paycheck and then blocking them after they further inquire about it? It is utterly ridiculous. Even worse are the reported instances of mistreatment: employees being pressured to work through health conditions and made to feel guilty for calling out due to health concerns. Remarks like, “We might have to close early because of this,” are not just unprofessional but downright unethical. It’s surprising that the Department of Labor, OSHA, or the Better Business Bureau haven’t already intervened. Perhaps it’s only a matter of time before formal action is taken.

The only other odd thing I saw - the pastries were all uncovered and left on the counter in the hot room. A few flies swarmed around the pastries (that looked so good!) but I definitely didn’t order due to the flies and everything not...

For the second time now I walked into odd fellows at 235 ish. I went to order a sandwich for lunch. And they told me the grill was off. Even though they close at 3, they already shut the grill off. If you close at 3, you turn your grill off at 3, like every other restaurant on the planet. Meanwhile, they let me stand in line for 5 to 10 minutes before I tried to place a order. So by the time I get a chance to order, it's too late. I can't go anywhere else because I need to make the boat. So I will no longer ever ever ever by anything from odd fellows and I hope no one else goes there either. No matter how delicious their...
