Captain Parker’s Pub (West Yarmouth)
“If you’re in Cape Cod, Captain Parker’s is a place you MUST eat at! They have the absolute best clam chowder in the area, and so many great options for food. They are well worth their price and even when they’re busy the wait isn’t ever that long. Their lobster selection is great and both their warm and cold lobster rolls are delicious. Even when doing take out, the food is still just as good, but nothing beats the experience inside.” – Google Review

Summer Shanty (West Dennis)
“We visited here twice during out trip. Food was good both times. Lobster roll and clam chowder were good. Sword fish on point!! If it’s a nice evening get there early to get a table outside. The view is very pleasant!” – Google Review
Osterville Fish, Too (Barnstable)
“Good food, very Cape Cod, in a great little spot. May not be waterfront dining, but the food sure makes up for the view! The lobster rolls are loaded with claw meat and the fried clams and oysters were spectacular.” – Google Review
The Oyster Company Raw Bar & Grille (Dennis Port)
“I have never written a review before but this is worth all the effort of starting. I have been to Cape Cod a few times, and this has been the best restaurant by far. I had the $1.50 oysters, the Portuguese muscles, and the lobster quesadillas. I can honestly say that these were the best foods individually I have ever had at a restaurant. We were also served by Maureen, and she was so thoughtful, helpful, and asked the questions we wanted before even asking! Seriously recommend this place.” – Google Review
Mattakeese Wharf (Barnstable)
“Fresh Cape Cod seafood combines with spectacular waterfront sunsets and friendly service at this family-owned landmark for over 50 years. One of a handful of Cape restaurants with its own dock for hungry boaters to tie up at, come ashore, and enjoy great drinks and food in a casual atmosphere. This is the iconic place you dream of when coming to Cape Cod. Lobsters, Fish & Chips, and award-winning clam chowder, all with a view that can’t be beat!” – Google Review
