Customer Reviews
The Seafood platter was wonderful! A mango pineapple fresh salsa was the start over seared salmon. Whole clams were light and delicious! 🤤 you can’t go wrong with this view. Outdoor seating on the lawn by the marina and porch dining, with a sunset!
Summer Shanty – West Dennis, Cape Cod Rating: BS +++ (Now that’s Boomsauce!) If you’re looking for a waterfront spot with serious Cape Cod vibes and a side of sunset magic, Summer Shanty delivers. While the vegan options were limited (salad was the only safe bet for my food allergies), the experience was lifted by our incredible waitress, Kristen. She was patient, professional, and genuinely sweet—an absolute gem who made us feel welcome and cared for. She even took photos of Ingredients. Truly customer centric attitude. Now, onto the food that stole the show: - My son wasn’t even planning to eat much, but one bite of the chowdahh and fish & chips had his jaw on the floor. “Perfect,” he said. That’s high praise from a tough critic. - My wife went for the shrimp tacos and couldn’t stop
There for lunch, very busy but we found seats at the bar Got the bang bang cauliflower and streamers app. They were excellent. For lunch we had fried clam platter and the best of cape cod jumbo size (lobster roll, cole slaw, ff’s and a cup of chowder) Both great choices This place keeps us coming back every time we visit Cape Cod
This was our 2nd time here, even though it was a hot summer day on the Cape and it was raining, windy and dreary, the dining room was open. All the staff was extremely friendly and acted as though it was the best days of their lives and were happy to serve us! I ordered a beer, and we split a cup of clam chowda (oh. my. god, best recipe!!) We also ordered the seafood combo with fried clam strips and scallops, seriously you can't go wrong with either of those. The Cole slaw was probably the best I have ever had, it was overly covered in sauce, I thought it was great. The fried calamari had a spicy Asian Zing sauce (or something spicy) but I'll definitely get it again!!
The food was good but we had to wait 1 hour before we could eat and when we tried to get take out they said it wasn’t possible!!
