About Breakaway
Cape Cod’s #1 Source for Great Grilling
Serving the Cape for more than 30 years, Breakaway was the brainchild of Ken Foster, a long-time barbecue aficionado with a desire to revolutionize the outdoor cooking experience. To provide customers with the ideal barbecue product for every taste and budget, Ken took care in deciding which manufacturers to feature. He wanted the store to be small and personal while effectively showcasing a great selection of products.
Along with an unparalleled selection of grills in every price and style, Breakaway offers a full line of barbecue accessories like sturdy vinyl covers, rotisseries, cookers, and pots, and sweetly scented smoking chips. We also offer various fire pits and other outdoor accessories. We offer a hands-on approach to customer care with a goal of turning every customer into a repeat customer.
We look forward to exceeding your expectations!
