Lobster Shanty

Visiting the Lobster Shanty was honestly underwhelming. Based on what I had read and heard beforehand, I expected something far more impressive or impactful. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. While it’s interesting from a historical and conceptual standpoint, there wasn’t much there to really engage or wow visitors. The presentation felt minimal, and without stronger context or interactive elements, it was hard to fully appreciate its significance. It’s not terrible by any means, but it’s also not somewhere I’d go out of my way to eat at.

Visited this restaurant in October, off the season. Have no idea if it is open year around. There was no hostess, and we were served by the guy who was behind the counter. The room with the bar was full, so we had to stay in the left side of the building, and had the menu with only soft drinks, no alcohol. The prices are high, because of sea food. The place itself is very old, and has some maritime related decor. There was plenty of parking outside.

We had a great dinner here. I odered the all you can eat fish and chips. I had the haddock was delicious and plentiful. Wife ordered Chicken nuggets, and they were great too. Both came with fries and coleslaw. We ordered the onion rings for appetizer, and they were excellent. Love the atmosphere. We went on Tuesday night, so it was easy to get a seat.

This place is absolutely wonderful! It was our very first time trying lobster, and the staff made sure we had the best experience possible. They helped us choose the perfect lobster, explained everything patiently, and even showed us how it all works. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. We left with such amazing impressions! Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Cape Cod — make sure to stop by and try their outstanding lobsters.

I had my very first lobster roll today at Lobster Shanty. The hostess kinda rolled her eyes when we asked to be seated inside. The gentleman that took our order was very friendly. This is how I'll judge all future lobster rolls, since it was my very first. The steak tips looked mighty good, too. You can also get live lobster from the boat in the front lobby of the restaurant - it's kinda like death row for lobsters.
