    A tasty meal! We sat at the bar and ordered lunch. I started with the Smokey seafood chowder and it…read morewas delish. It is not as thick as you may expect but it is still very good. Next, we shared the Cape Cod Fish Fry and it was perfect. The fish was fresh and the batter was crisp but not greasy. It was possibly the best mixed fried seafood plate I've had so far. I also had a glass of white wine, which was good. The bartender was attentive and nice. The interior was cool and cozy. I would definitely return to this place.

    EXTREMELY DISTURBING EXPERIENCE WITH THE WAITER!…read more This took place around 9:00 PM on Thursday, June 4. Our group consisted of three couples dining together. At the end of the meal, we asked if the bill could be split into thirds. Our waiter, Martin P., told us that he would not split the check and instead instructed us to write down exactly what each person ordered so that he could charge us separately. Although no other restaurant we visited in Provincetown required us to do this, we followed his instructions and listed our individual items. When Martin returned, he was visibly upset and stated that our payments were approximately $70 short. There was confusion because our group was trying to determine who had already paid, who had not, and whether something had been missed in the calculations. I even asked whether we were expected to calculate individual tax amounts ourselves, as no one knew what tax would be for each separate charge. Rather than calmly helping us resolve the discrepancy, Martin began yelling at our group. At one point he stated, "If I don't get $70, I am going to charge one of the credit cards that I have." This immediately concerned us. We were not refusing to pay. We were actively trying to understand where the discrepancy occurred and make sure the restaurant received the full amount owed. To resolve the issue, one of my friends and I went with Martin into a back room to review the charges. After reviewing everything, my friend agreed to pay the remaining balance immediately. The payment was processed and the bill was fully paid. At that point I was trying to calm the situation and bring it to a close. Instead, Martin became even more agitated and began yelling profanities at us. He shouted, "Get the f*** out of my restaurant! It's people like you why we don't split checks! You all need to get the f*** out now!" Other people started noticing this go down. We were stunned. The bill had been paid. Nobody was attempting to leave without paying. We were simply trying to resolve a billing issue after following the waiter's instructions. As we were leaving, my wife later told me that Martin placed his HAND ON HER BACK and guided her toward the exit. While it was not forceful, it felt unnecessary and added to an already hostile and intimidating experience. What happened next is why I ultimately decided to write this review. A few days later, while walking through Provincetown looking for a place to have lunch, our group passed The Mayflower Food & Drink and noticed Martin working there. When he saw us, he deliberately tapped on the glass to get our attention. After making eye contact, he made a hand gesture across his neck and pointed for us to leave and keep walking. The original incident had already ended. The bill had been paid. Yet days later he still felt the need to single out our group and signal that we were unwelcome. Had this simply been confusion over a split check, I would not be writing this review. Billing mistakes happen. What I cannot overlook is being threatened with unauthorized credit card charges, being screamed at with profanity while attempting to resolve the issue, being ordered out after the bill had been paid, Martin touching my wife, and then encountering the same employee days later making a gesture directed at our group from another restaurant. This experience was troubling enough that I believe others should be aware of it.

    You can't really leave P-Town before coming here. Crown & Anchor is a consolidation of attractions:…read morea hotel, a restaurant (Butch's), a video bar (The Wave Bar), a piano bar (Dive Bar), an art gallery, and several venues focused on the predilections of their patrons, whether it be leather kink (The Vault), cabaret (The Crown Cabaret), or where Jamie W and I went, The Paramount Club, the largest space in the complex replete with two bars. We came to see drag legend Varla Jean Merman in The Errors Tour. Yes, it was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Taylor Swift and her Eras Tour intertwined with Varla Jean's own career highlights including her off-Broadway musical stint with Leslie Jordan. Going through several costume changes, she was a hilariously throaty delight with a trunkful of one-liners. Tickets were $44, and seats weren't as crowded together as I feared.

We agreed to sit in the last row of chairs if we would be reimbursed the difference. He offered us a free drink. My Husband or myself do not drink alcohol. He then said we could have water. That was just a big insult to the issue at hand. And I told him that I frequently visit the establishment every time I visit Ptown. His reply was I don't know what to Tell you buddy. I will Not be returning to this establishment in the future.

This is a place to have good whisky and steak at first glance, but the menu opens up to banh mi and inventive burger options. I love cozy interiors and I caught them about 40 minutes before closing. I decided take out because I didn't want to keep them and sat at the bar where the staff was friendly and warm even as they were wrapping up. The food was stand out in terms of taste and portions. You're getting a good sized meal with leftovers for Ptown Holiday or in my case, holigay . LOL. We had Southern BLT and Old fashioned burger, we were primed for nueske bacon but the menu can be durable for more vegetal and gluten free options that are just as scrumptious. Burger was sizable and cooked perfect to medium request. Bacon was rich but crisp and the Grafton cheddar had a melty sharpness you needed. Fries were hefty with crisp and fluff interior. Awesome onion strings so crispy! Fried green tomato held up well in the sandwich and the BLT was delicious overall. Loved this dinner and was a highlight of my vacation. Definitely recommend going for starting in or take out!

IMHO the best burger around (cooked as ordered) and their homemade french fries more than satisfy this admitted french fry addict. Other good choices: guac and chips, fried artichokes, the wedge salad, and the pork tostada. Recently tried their Painkiller and will surely order it again.
