Parking is completely taken up with Ferry traffic. Come on foot or not at all.

What a vibe! Great live music playing ? , so much fun here! Amazing lobster rolls and beyond fresh oysters and tuna poke appetizers. We had a 2 year old with us and they were very accommodating. They had high chairs. Service is fast and friendly. We will definitely be back!Parking: We parked across the street and paid to park. You can choose a timeframe.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

Clam chowder was amazing. Apps are all great size proportions. Fish Tacos were amazing!

Great little spot, outdoor bar, live music, good food, good service...try the chowdah. Really enjoyed the vibe, perfect for a nice weather day or evening.

Service was quick. Fried shrimp tacos were really good. Tuna poke was good but wasn't the prettiest presentation. Great though overall for a quick meal.

Food was ok, chowder was ok but would prefer Captain Parker's for the same price. The issue I have is the food is just average and way overpriced for being served on paper plates and plastic utensils. The biggest issue is adding an unnecessary, and I'd even say unethical $4.99 charge for not using cash on a $140 bill. As someone that frequents dining options on the Cape, they have lost my business and my recommendation. When did it become acceptable to pass on the credit card fee to customers and not mention?

BEST clam chowder we've ever had!! Ordered from the take out window after a long day on the beach. Lobster bisque was good but the clam chowder was AMAZING!! Fun casual vibe right in the marina.

Great place to get food and drinks by the harbor! I got a cup of the clam chowder and lobster roll. Service was great.

The food and service were good. My family ordered the crab cake sandwich, the clam chowder, fried clams, oysters, and a burger. All of it was good - especially the French fries. The crabcake sandwich I just the right amount of spice, the burger was cooked perfectly, and my boyfriend's clam chowder was the best he had had so far in Cape Cod. Note about the clam chowder is that it is on the thin/runny side versus the super thick and chunky side. And it had a lot of clam in it. One other note for someone who may not be used to fresh fried seafood: the clam in the fried clams is soft and chewy. Most people are used to them being hard and sort of gummy, almost like calamari, but these are the real deal. Just a heads up!

Awesome place for a casual bite, good atmosphere, and delicious drinks! The Black Cat has 3 parts - the harbor shack, the outdoor back area, and the tavern. We ate at the shack which had plastic cutlery and is more casual dining. The food was all delicious! The Oreo mudslide was the hit of the group. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Service was fast (probably because there were a lot of people being trained). The back seating felt like a full summer day with low top chairs and high top bar seating. The lobster roll itself was decent with enough Mayo (35 dollars). Chowder was good & standard (10 dollars for a cup). Only one single occupancy bathroom, which was pretty clean. Prices were higher than I'd like (everything was 10+ dollars).

Perfect location with parking across the street. Grab a table to watch the boats roll in and out of the harbor. Food is excellent just like the service. Some of the best calamari I have ever had. Fresh oil and served nice and hot. There is a full bar area and in the summertime shack out back is open and has great outdoor tables and a bar. Can't wait for summertime to return.

Service was great. Server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made several excellent recommendations on drinks and dinner Very nice decore. Get there early. Baked cod with crab and lemon sauce was delish and the chowda was great
