Raw Bar

Raw Bar, located in the Popponesset Marketplace, is a popular spot for seafood lovers. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including its famous colossal lobster rolls, which come in two sizes: the "mini monstah" and the outrageously large "monstah" roll. Visitors are encouraged to request Maya as a server for great food and service. The menu also features "buck a shuck" oysters on Fridays, with attentive bartenders happy to shuck them to order. The oysters are sourced from a consortium of oyster farmers in Cape Cod Bay and are known for their small, plump, slightly salty flavor. The restaurant's clam chowder is a must-try and thoroughly enjoyed by many guests, although some may find it slightly too thick. The outdoor patio has been enclosed with a tent and heated, expanding the seating space. Prices range from $32 for the "mini monstah" lobster roll to $45 for the massive "monstah" roll, making Raw Bar a great spot for a special occasion or a night out with friends. Visitors can enjoy a lively atmosphere with live music on Fridays, creating a fun environment. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff ensuring a pleasant experience from the hostess to the waitstaff. Many guests have been pleasantly surprised by dishes like the lobster grilled cheese, which is flavorful and packed with lobster meat. Despite being busy, the wait times are reasonable, and the charming, cozy setting is situated among other small stores and cafes along an oyster shell walkway. Overall, Raw Bar offers excellent prices and quality, making it a favorite for seafood enthusiasts.
