Closed for good now. We will miss that place. It's been there for years. Owners own Whimpys in Osterville too. Hope that doesn't close.

This spot knows how to satisfy their clients. Always with a welcoming mindset. The food is reasonably priced, always tasty and neat.

Food and service was spot on. I see why the family always talked about it. hard to give a 5 out 5 but they deserve one. thumbs up.

They have some of the tastiest food and the most delicious lobsters I've ever had the atmosphere is exquisite and the service is top-notch. It was a little bit pricey however well worth it.

The food was very good and the staff was highly attentive. They accepted a party of 7 later than they normally would but these times are anything but normal. We had to dine under a tent and use plasticware and our food came out in to-go containers but that was due to local plandemic rules at the time. Hopefully things have loosened up a bit since our visit on June 13th.It was nice when the owner came out and introduced himself, asked how everything was and thanked us for coming.

Outstanding lobster. Great service We ate there on the last night of our week at the Cape. Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The food was excellent. I strongly recommend their house dressing. It was TASTY. The lobsters were well presented and tasted great. We shared a carrot cake for dessert Very good. The young man who took care of us was tremendous.

Had my last lobster of the trip here and I was not disappointed. Wife's fish was excellent as was the service. Good prices and plenty of parking.

Very good food menu limited but they make up for it with the food service and atmosphere. We drove around trying to find a place to eat that we did not wait hours to be seated...this is ridiculous especially with COVID risk of infection..people were literally waiting in lines to be seated at the Lobster Boat ?‍♀️...no thank you. Riverway had no lines and much distance between every table..everything was clean and neat..plus brown people friendly. It is hard eating out especially now and it was a great experience. We will be back next year!

Returned this yr to experience nice dining after attending last yr cape cod trip. The food was below a disappointment the chicken picatta my wife got was not seasoned to taste only lemon and the chicken wasn't sauteed in a seemed or Boiled state. I got the seafood Mediterranean and it was same way tasteless, Boiled or steamed not sauteed seafood and I had to put 3 rounds of salt just to consume it & I mean I never use salt.. Not sure if hired inexperienced chef but went from 4 star down to 1 star. Very disappointing after spending 100 for 2 adults and 2 kids for lunch.

Tourist trap! I went there because all the great reviews, but was disappointed. Shrimp scamp didn’t have much taste, had to put salt and pepper ourselves for taste. Stuffing in the baked stuffed shrimp was bland. Steak tips were great! Mashed potatoes tasted like they were from a box and the pickled beets were from a can. I just thought for the money we paid this was unacceptable. Staff was very nice.

This was our favorite place pre-Covid. They have since eliminated the beloved early bird specials. The service is inexperienced and miserable. The food was terrible. The fish was so dry, it likened to crabmeat from a can. Not the light and flakey goodness from the past. We won't write them off completely due to the challenges they must be facing during the pandemic, but we certainly won't be back for a long time.
