My wife and I stopped in while on vacation. When we walked in, there were plenty of employees around — at least 10-12— but very few customers. We were seated all the way in the back of the restaurant, away from everyone else, which felt a little strange. The table behind us was clearly used and hadn’t been cleaned, with food all over the carpet beneath it.

Our server, Zack, was the highlight of the visit. He was kind, timely, and checked in right when we needed him. He seemed to be one of the only staff actually working — wiping down tables, stocking condiments, and taking care of guests — while most of the others were just sitting or standing around doing nothing.

We ordered drinks and the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer. We’ve had this dish many times at other places and it’s always been tossed in sauce. Here, it came as fried shrimp with tails still on and just sauce drizzled on top — disappointing compared to what we expected.

After that experience, we decided to just have the appetizer and drinks and head elsewhere for dinner. Zack did a great job, but the overall cleanliness, presentation of food, and lack of effort from the majority of the staff left us underwhelmed.

Zach did a great job. Was attentive and stayed busy. Can’t say the same for the rest of the staff who were talking about volleyball and just hanging around.
The bang bang shrimp was weird in that it was prepared with the tails on as well as not tossed in a sauce. Additionally only 7 shrimp was provided. Seems small.

My son and daughter-in-law held their wedding reception at Chapin’s this past weekend.
The event was a complete success, and we were particularly impressed by the outstanding level of service we received. All of your staff members were attentive and professional throughout the evening, ensuring that every detail was handled seamlessly. The cocktails, raw bar, appetizers, and buffet were all excellent.
Additionally, the space was perfectly set up for the occasion, contributing to the overall success of the celebration.

My boyfriend played a show here the other weekend and he brought me back here on our vacation. Can we just talk about how delicious their clam chowder is? Like wow. They have pieces of bacon in it and it's not overwhelming. It's so delicious. They offer a cup, bowl, or a quart. I got the 1 1/2lb lobster which was only $30 yesterday (obviously the market prices change all the time so make sure to ask) and my boyfriend got the fish and chips. The food was so delicious and the staff was great.

Overpriced mediocre food. Expensive for the quality. Service is terribly slow. Atmosphere is nice. Good outdoor seating. Not my cup of tea but seems to do well. I won't be back but thats a personal choice

What a quintessential cape cod establishment. If you want a cold mudslide and a hearty lobster roll, there is no place better than THE CHIP!!!!!

It’s like eating at the worst backyard barbecue. Paper plates and plastic cups, dirty/rusted tables, a wild atmosphere and average food. I felt dirty and uncomfortable the whole time.

I did enjoy the brisket sausage sandwich though.

This restaurant was a big disappointment. It was Dark and dingy. It wasn’t very clean. Service was slow. The food was terrible was so overcooked. We couldn’t eat it. The fried food was cold and gave us terrible indigestion, overpriced, disappointed..com

As a local….
So don’t go here for the food.
Go here if you have kids that can run around outside in the nice weather.
A lot of 20 year olds that stand around instead of actually waiting tables.
A few 14 year olds that bus tables that shouldn’t be bussed yet!!!
Getting a little pricey for the meh bar food….
