How is the food here

Awesome lobster rolls with lots of lobster. Their lobster bisque soup was spectacular!

Why would you serve frozen shrimp from the grocery store for your shrimp scampi instead of fresh?

How do you know it was frozen shrimp from the grocery store?? Just asking

Great classic seafood joint with fast service and a laid back, casual atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop and a bit less pricey than some of the other seafood places in the area or in Provincetown!

We got carry out and the hot lobster rolls were fabulous we came back another day for them. Warm lobster almost a pound I'd say, chives and lettuce with melted butter and lemon

Although they boast "best lobster roll" this place is average in every respect. Atmosphere, service, food and value are just average. Nothing to write home about and personally I would skip this place all together. I have had way better lobster rolls and lobster bisque in so many other places. Even PJ's a mile down the road had a better lobster roll.

My family and I ate here for lunch, it did not disappoint.We were one of the first groups in for their lunch crowd. I had bottomless fish and chips and everything was fresh and delicious.I have to say, my favorite part of the restaurant was the staff, our waiter was so sweet and took great care of us.The kids meals come in a beach pail with a shovel, super cute!

I Gave them a 3 star for the clam chowder. I give them a 1 Star for the fish sandwich. It was lacking flavor and I have to think the fish is precooked. I got my order went outside to eat it, the cheese wasn’t melted and the fish was lukewarm.

Good flavored lobster roll. They put so much butter tho that it makes the breast extremely soggy. They need a thicker bread because what they are using doesn’t work for that amount of butter. It they can just put it on the side 🤷🏽‍♀️ Also it’s all claws and not one piece of tail. Also I wish they wouldn’t use so much plastic! Very wasteful place.

Based on other reviews, I may have gotten unlucky with the service, but Kiara was just plain rude. She wouldn't even crack a smile. I'm a server myself, so it bothers me to see unfriendly service. No attempt was made from her to even seem nice, even though I was as polite as possible. The food was pretty good, but so overpriced. I would try a different place if you want to save a few bucks. The clam chowder was 8.50 for an ~8oz "bowl" (it was conventional "cup" size.) I don't even want to know what the "cup" looks like. Unfortunate because they have a cute look but just didn't do it for me. The other staff was really nice though. Just feels like the whole restaurant is taking major advantage of location with no regard for the quality of the experience.

I've been coming here for more summers than I can count...it's always a must stop when we're on vacation. We popped in on Saturday and there was no wait time for a table. My son had the hot lobster roll and I had the cheeseburger...we split a side of awesome onion rings. There was a family from the UK seated across from us and I was delighted to see one of the waitstaff and the owner (I think) take the time to educate the the two young boys in their party about the lobsters (we were seated next to the boat tank). I learned a lot just by listening in :) I'll be back next summer!

The place is a bit outdated. The service is poor but the food is delicious. Try looking for the specials offered online or in local publications if you are seated between 3pm and 5pm.

***Upgraded from 1 to 3 stars as the owner reached out to apologize which I appreciate.***Open flag flying at 6:22pm walked in for dinner only to be told they were closing because it was slow even though scheduled hours for today are open until 9pm. Employees couldn't care less. I won't ever return...very disappointed in the vacation experience.

Cute double restaurant. We ate at the sit down area, fiendly staff. Both clean dining area and restrooms. Both the warm and cold lobster roll was delicious, although not the best I had on my travels to Cape Cod.

Lobster was chewy! Fried scallops were awful!!! No flavor or taste other than breading! Asked for the blueberry lemonade and it had alcohol in it. Poor waitress was very nice. Then I got my bill and they were charging me for the awful scallops! I didn’t eat them!!! Manager took it off but didn’t apologize, nothing!!!! Won’t be back!!!!

Sometimes you have to try a place to dislike it. It's a tourist trap. Plain and simple. Over priced for little portions. Two different menus: take out or dine in. Hot dog is the only kid friendly food other than fries. And on the restroom there is a handwritten sign on the men's room mirror saying "employees must wash their hands before returning to work." Well that's kind of hard to do when the soap dispenser is ripped off the wall not containing soap. Perhaps they meant "rinse" instead of "wash". Because that's all I was able to do in there. I been driving by this place for years. And now I will continue to keep doing so.

We all loved it. The food was wonderful and the service was great. We were originally going to go to another place down the road but ended up leaving because it was busy and didn't take credit(that's crazy). We were very happy with this little hidden not hidden jem. My younger 15yr old kept saying "this must be where the locals go". Would definitely recommend.

When in the Cape.... eat lobster. The lobster roll was decent but not the best. The fish and chips were OK but not special. The service was OK. Overall -- average.Now, the lobster roll, while OK by "Maine" standards, is still excellent by standards anywhere else, so it's still very good.

The wait staff was really nice. The restaurant itself is very tired. And outdated. The food is very tasty. But it was a little overpriced. And served on paper plates. The wait staff was really nice. Good selection of food. Convenient location. No waiting. And the wait staff was super nice.

Ended up stopping here on our way back home and I'm glad we did! Best lobster roll I've had. The lobsters are super fresh. A bit on the pricey side though just for a roll. We also ordered the fish and chips and they were cooked perfectly. Highly recommend it. They have benches outside if you have a pet with you! If the price wasn't so high I would have given it 5 stars.

Great food, reasonable prices, and great service. We had a very large party with several different checks and everything was handled very smoothly. We had the all-you-can-eat fish and chips, which were great (the fries were not amazing but the fish was excellent). The kids meals are served in plastic buckets you get to keep, which our kids thought was fun.

Told us they were out of steamers after we waited to eat. It was lunchtime. My children were served beverages with multiple large, black ants in the drink. We quietly brought it to waiter's attention and he was rude and gave me an excuse: " So what we have ants. Everyone have ants." We canceled our food order and were charged for the buggy drinks! I asked for a manager and was told that they would be in next week. We paid and left. They still wouldnt comp us the 3x drinks with bugs.Better experience down the road.

We had a great experience! We sat at the bar and Murphy waited on us. We actually went twice during the week we stayed. Our meals were delicious- we had the clam-bake special. What we enjoyed most was how personably the staff was and the great conversation we had with the locals. Very authentic and lowKey for this time of season.
