It's always on our list of recommended dine-in spots when friends/family visit Provincetown. We got TAKEOUT for the first time tonight and were impressed enough to write a review. We're in town for Holly Folly (Christmas/holiday weekend) and have a 9mo old. We knew we'd be doing takeout for dinner. One of our other favorite spots in town wouldn't do a takeout order (too busy). We were hesitant to get something from Canteen because they had been slammed all day with a crowd from their outdoor holiday market (also highly recommended), but took a chance. Two orders of fish and chips. Staff (probably exhausted from the busy day) were so kind and friendly. The order came out fast. Really good quality. Big portions (see photo) incl French fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce. We're glad our initial idea didn't work out and we had a great takeout dinner from Canteen! Thanks so much!

We checked yelp to find a place with oysters, they do not have them, tho the menu pics said they did. When I asked I got a "no we don't." The lobster roll was good, we had it warm, but it needed more salt or some hot sauce. Something. We also got cauliflower fritters, I would skip those, we ate half of one. The outside bar area is wonderful, great views. Inside of the shop is super cute. The food was just mid, and the hospitality chilly.

We had a choice to eat at the bar or at one of the tables outside on the patio. We chose the latter. The menu is large and varied..probably one of the largest menus in town. I picked a broccoli appetizer and a sauteed veggie plate. I asked for low sodium and both came out delicious and very well done. I also had some of the Wedge salad (very good) and the Chicken Parm (very salty). The service was good and prompt, considered the restaurant was pretty full. I advise to make reservations as early as you can make them to ensure the right time for your needs.

I'm glad I was able to try this place though. $3.50 EACH - RAW OYSTERS with SOUR CREAM & CAVIAR: the oysters were below average and tasted a little too salty/oceany for my taste. I've never had sour cream on oysters so it was just unique to me. Not bad! Just not something I'm used to. Glad I got to try it! $35 PORTUGUESE FISH: it's the signature fish crusted with RITZ CRACKERS! It's sweet and crunchy and flaky and HUGE! It all the textures and flavor profiles. AMAZING! Totally worth it. SEAFOOD STEAMERS: mix of squid, mussels, clams - what a great appetizer! Not too filling. SERVICE (4/5): They were quick to bring menus, food, the check.

So if you told me, for my first trip to Provincetown, I'd choose to eat lunch at a place…read morespecializing in Grilled Cheese, I would have called BS. But due to some places being closed because it was off season, and The Grilled Cheese Gallery's very strong Yelp rating and food pics, that's exactly what we did. The GCG is a very, very small national chain with a location in Provincetown. They have gourmet grilled cheese, Mac, poutine, etc. The GCG has a small, cute inside seating area. A giant inflatable unicorn takes up a lot of the space, but it's fun and off season. LOL. It also seems like they have outside seating when it's warmer. Service was very friendly. I ordered something that looked glorious in online pics. The Night in Amsterdam. It's a grilled cheese made with Swiss, Gruyère, Gouda and Cheddar. Grilled to perfection on artisan white. Then the bread, but not the cheese, is cut diagonally, and the cheese is artfully pulled. The two grilled cheese triangles are then stabbed through a rod at the top of a foot and a half or so metal stand. The pulled cheese dangles from the bread into a cup of tomato soup sitting at the bottom of the stand. One of the best food displays I've seen. The grilled cheese is tasty. The tomato soup was just OK for me. But it's really more about the art, which is super cool. I tried the short rib poutine which was also good. If you can only eat one meal in PTown and all of the restaurants are open, I'm not sure that I would suggest The GCG as your stop. But if you're in the area for a week, or if you have limited options, The GCG would be a very good choice. 4.5 stars

Did someone paint a bunch of different kinds of grilled cheese? Whoever is doing this is messing with our feelings. Thank goodness for us, it was a REAL grilled cheese gallery serving up all different kinds of grilled cheese. From classic to mac and cheese filled (I know, WOW) they have all kinds of grilled cheese. We went with the classic and some fries. I will say, it was a bit on the greasier/heavy side and the fries weren't even cooked they were raw. Other than that, great concept and pretty cool to order a mac and cheese one if you get the chance!

We fortunately only had to wait 5 min for a table of 4. For drinks they got iced tea which was very herbal/bitter tasting but their Bellini mimosas were great. We shared their Chilaquiles, cowboy carnitas, Mexican folded eggs, side of bacon, and parfait. Everything came out beautifully presented and tasted just as good as well. Dishes were bright and delicious. Parfait was hearty and satisfying. Dessert was their fresh warm Cinnamon bun, and huge Banana bread! Overall, we had a wonderful experience other than the iced tea which we advise against. Our waiter was very attentive and kind. The view looking over the water was serene and beautiful. Would absolutely come again!

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!
