a lobster on a plate
Joe B.

This shack-style market is in the heart of Welfleet. One of the cutest towns I've been to on the Cape, through two swinging double doors you find yourself staring deep into 3 deep tanks of lobsters. Regular and culls. Culls only have one claw (cheaper per pound) but they were massive this year! The lobsters ran about $9/lb If you don't feel like going out, the boathouse will cook and bag the lobsters that you pick, free of charge (call ahead or come back later) This place is convenient if you're staying in wellfleet, and if you don't want to spend a fortune having a lobster dinner at a nearby restaurant. I've never had anything else besides lobster here but they do have 6 beds of ice full of fish, oysters, scallops, clams, the works.

Littlenecks cooked in beer and garlic. Delicious!!

The Wicked Oyster - Wellfleet Goodness

I've passed The Wicked Oyster countless times on my annual trips to the Cape as a lifelong devotee,…read morebut this was my first venture inside and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent - the host accommodated our last-minute request for outdoor seating and our waiter was super friendly and knowledgeable. My fiancé and I ordered the Wellfleet oysters with mignonette and the house focaccia (both a must try!) to start, and the scallops and daily catch (yellowfin tuna) as our mains. Patio was lively, with fun music and cute lighting, without being overcrowded or too loud. Overall we had a perfect night and will definitely be back!

For those considering The Wicked Oyster for dinner, I highly caution you to consider otherwise…read more My husband and I (age 40) visited The Wicked Oyster Provisions shop the day before our dining experience and had a wonderful time. The woman working in the shop was hosting a wine tasting, and we left with some delicious provisions as a result. Because of our great experience, we booked a dinner reservation for the restaurant the next evening. Upon arriving for our reservation, we were promptly seated at a 4-top table in the front room. It was a cloudy day, but even so the room was quite dark. One guest dining was using a phone flashlight in an attempt to read the menu at 6pm. A tea light candle would have done worlds for not only the lighting, but the overall ambiance. While the interior paint color was lovely, the 90's hotel art and Home Depot lighting left a lot to be desired. We ordered the fingerling potatoes, Wellfleet oysters, scallops, and lobster cavatelli. The fingerling potatoes (our snack) came out at the same time as our appetizer (the oysters). We were disappointed that the potatoes were quite dry and overcooked atop what tasted equivalent to a jarred romesco sauce. We quickly ran out of sauce in an attempt to resuscitate the potatoes. The oysters were fine, but not notably different than the Wellfleet oysters we purchase from Whole Foods at home, in Colorado. My husband ordered the scallops, which were served in a seasonal corn sauce with zucchini and peaches. The scallop portion was generous, but the sauce left a lot to be desired. He described it as more of an unseasoned creamed corn than a sauce and there wasn't a pine nut (as advertised) in sight. My pasta was equally disappointing. At this price point, I expected a fresh rolled pasta, which was not the case. The pasta was quite flavorless and the "sauce" was runny and unseasoned. It was also served with a fork, which was quite comical for both my husband and the two tables around us with his watery the sauce was. I might also note that I received a quarter-sized chunk of parm on top, rather than a grated garnish. Thinking it was a chunk of lobster, I bit into it and was quite surprised. The service was attentive, but felt a lot more casual than we expected. We were surprised to see what many of the service staff were dressed in athleisure attire. At this price point, I would expect otherwise. We were glad that our water glasses stayed full, but wish that had been with the sparkling water we ordered, rather than the still water poured. Our sparkling water bottle remained largely full as a result. Overall, we are unable to recommend this restaurant. This is only our third year traveling to the Cape, but would far recommend restaurants like The Pheasant, Baliene, or Chatham Fish Pier over this experience. We left thankful that this wasn't our last night in town and had one more chance to enjoy a nice dinner on the Cape.

If you cannot get into a place in PTown, try Route 6 west abound like your trying to get back to…read moreBoston; however, you need to stop in and try this place! Very good. Big and very clean. High volume. Quick, easy, and fast service even with no reservation. We started with the hummus vegetable appetizer; the Mediterranean flat bread was served warm - nice touch. Another nice touch was the use of radish. I had the broiled cod on potatoes and with broccoli. She had the broiled salmon on spinach. Both were exceptionally well prepared. Cooked perfectly, and came out pretty quickly too! Great service, excellent choices, nice wine selection, and plenty of parking. Prices were spot on. No negatives and we'd come back again for certain.

Out and about on our last full day of vacation. We ventured out this morning for breakfast first…read moreand hit up VRs. Queer o meter as it's been all week is a 10! Nice. They had a nice selection on the menu but we went basic, hence the pics. Take a peek. The garden bloody would have been a 5 star if it had 3 or 4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce in it. Otherwise it was a solid 4. Horseradish, cucumber vodka, (ONE OF MY FAVS), lemon, lime - I added ground pepper and Tabasco. Delish. The rest of the food, it is what it is. They customized what we wanted and were very gracious about it. Generally I don't expect places to mess up a basic breakfast and VRs didn't. It was fresh, hot and as ordered. Well done. The coffee was topped off continually and the server checked in on us enough to be accommodating but not hovers at all. She was super sweet. We will be back, I'd love to try their dinner. Hit this place up if you're near the top of the cape sometime! Cheers!!
