Cooke’s is a fantastic spot for casual Cape Cod eats. We had a lobster roll and a lobster taco as take-away orders. Both were tasty, but the lobster taco was absolutely better value. It had plenty of lobster meat, and the accompanying fries were actually the best part of our order. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the portion was overly generous. We kept eating them long after they got cold. They were that good. This is not a fancy place, but it’s an especially good spot for take-away.

Good food 🥘! Lobster 🦞 rolls are good even though quite expensive but still cheaper than in other places. You can get the Combo meal served with fries (good) and coleslaw (not fantastic) for an extra 3$. Would not recommend the shrimps roll as les tasty than other dishes. Restaurant is easily accessible there is a big car park and you can also take the option “to go” if you prefer enjoying your dishes somewhere else.

To start, if you go, get the scallops! Those were very good! Me and my husband came for lunch on a Friday. There was not a long wait. The girl at the counter taking the orders was pretty rude and unfriendly, however, I think it was just her because other employees seemed okay. The fries were okay, but they served our fries with our swordfish on top and it made most of them soggy. The coleslaw was regular and very good to me (although a small serving size), and the corn on the cob was excellent!! Not soggy and very well seasoned/cooked. Overall the food was good ... However, they had a current celebratory discount going on and even with 20% off of the price, it was still very high for what you get. With the 20% it is not too far off, but the actual prices here are high even compared to othe

It's a great place to go for lunch. The staff are friendly. The service was quick. The food came out hot and delicious. If you get pretty busy but they got plenty of seating inside and out.

Fried whole belly clams is a once a year treat and most often I try to go to Ipswich for them; however I was in Cape Cod this week and thought I’d try them here. First, the owner was so nice and welcoming! Then he offered me choices, and I decided on the platter, as I would actually get a few more items for only $2 more and the same amount of clams if I bought a 1/2 pint on its own. No extra expense for the tartar sauce and I could choose from different sides, and I chose the corn, which was sweet and no need for butter. The star of the platter was of course the fried clams which were plentiful and tasty and not overly battered/fried. The coleslaw didn’t have enough mayo but that was fine with me. The platter was just under $34 including tax. At another place, a 1/2 pint of clams was $29.9
