I love this place and the food, the staff are all amazing. The menu is huge and the clam chowder was the best on the cape. The martini I ordered was made perfectly and the view was beautiful of the ocean. We sat outside as weather was still so nice in October. Every bite was delicious and in the summer it is hard to get a table but I'd say worth the wait! So many levels and so many selections !! Order the steamers! Meaty and large and soooo good!

We didn’t have a reservation, and even though it was a weekday, we had to wait about an hour to get in. All the staff were young, energetic, and super friendly. Once we placed our order, the food came out very quickly. The clam chowder was excellent — I’d definitely come back for that alone. My calamari was decent, though a bit more breaded than I expected, and it came with a different sauce, but they happily brought me tartar sauce when I asked. I was excited to try some local beer, but the options were limited, and the one I had was just average. My friends, however, really enjoyed their fish sandwiches and fish & chips. Overall, it’s a lovely spot with ocean views, good food, and a very lively atmosphere. Next time we’re in Boston and this area, I’ll definitely come back.

An unforgettable Cape Cod gem 🌊🦞 Hands down the best lobster roll on the Cape! Served on a fresh brioche bun with no fillers—just pure lobster, including both claws, tucked right into the roll. The clam chowder? Incredible. Thick, creamy, and packed with generous chunks of seafood—it’s a full meal on its own. The seasonal oysters tasted like they’d been harvested just hours before, and we loved the thoughtful touch of serving them with minced🌶️🍋🫜 The place was immaculately clean—you could literally eat off the floor. But what truly touched our hearts was the kindness of the staff. They brought a little toy cup for our baby, which made him smile and gave mama and papa a few peaceful moments to enjoy this amazing meal. This restaurant is officially on our must-visit list for next summer.

Every Year! Every year we live at the red jacket and every year we come here to eat. If you ask for our opinion, this is one of the best seafood restaurants on Cape Cod. This restaurant will leave a very positive and memorable impression. We had to wait for a table for fourty minutes on a Sunday evening, but it was worth the wait. , We were truly impressed by how efficiently everything was managed and how friendly the staff were. We ordered the Rice Chicken bowl, fish and chips, wings and Mac and cheese. We made two orders of fresh local oysters as well and they were tasty! Everything was served quickly,.large portions and and tasted absolutely amazing. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, and the onion rings were simply fantastic. Also, don’t miss the ice cream from their Ice Cre

★★★★☆ 4.0 Thomas Tran · Sep 2025

A great restaurant next to the beach with beautiful views from the deck. There’s plenty of parking with an attached ice cream stall. The staff were great and pulled down the shades when it got pretty hot in the sun. The local beer brewed for the restaurant is refreshing and perfect on a nice day. The clam chowder is creamy with great flavor and a good amount of clams. The fisherman’s platter is cooked to perfection, for the price I do think the portion of seafood is light but comparable to local restaurants. The tatar sauce tasted homemade and complimented the seafood well.
