Fisherman's platter was fresh and fried to perfection, steamers seemed bottomless and again fresh and tasty. Lobster roll was typical, unfortunately nothing special. Beer selection was excellent! It's was a hot Sunday afternoon so the place was jammin, but our quotes wait time was spot on. The negatives, jammin or not waitress failed. No check backs, no water refills, poor service. There was who I assumed was a homeless person with mental issues yelling loudly and with much profanity at the air that was pretty off setting inside the establishment. read more

I'm in town for a few days with a hundred of my closest friends. Ha. Actually, my son is graduating high school and his school goes on a senior trip to Plymouth and Boston and the wife and I are tagging along. This is my wife's favorite restaurant in Plymouth and loves the clam bake (clam chowder pizza). I decided to keep it more traditional tonight and asked for a pizza with hot honey. I was excited for the zing of the hot honey, but they forgot to put it on there and when I asked the waitress about it her manager said too bad we are still charging you. I was chill and still ate the pizza and it was okay, but definitely seemed plain without that zing. They tried to give me a bag of chips as a consolation prize but still charged me for the phantom hot honey. Hard to rate higher than a 3/5 based on that faux pas. read more

Food was nasty. I'm from California and I would never come here again. Staff was rude as heck... served my 2 year old last AFTER I reminded her. Service was not there. Had to ask for refills and check multiple times. My fries were cold and just worse experience read more

Grabbed some lunch while at the Waterfront Festival. Took advantage of the beautiful day and sat on the roof deck overlooking the Plymouth Harbor. Our wait was short and our server was excellent. We grabbed some Frozen Frappaccinos (1 non alcoholic which they made no issues) and they were awesome. We went with the Sticky Wings for an appetizer (which were the daily special) and they were phenomenal. We both ordered the Fesh Catch Sandwich: Blackened Mahi and it was great. The Onion Rings were awesome too. read more

If I could rate CabbyShack a zero I honestly would. We hosted our wedding after party here and it almost ruined the night. The bouncers were incredibly disrespectful and combative to a number of guests including the groom and his family, the bartenders had a horrible and surly attitude, and the waitresses that were tasked to handling our group were never to be seen and were rude in the few interactions we had with them. In addition, we ordered a large amount of food and were promised that it would out upon our arrival and it was 45 minutes late. They also kicked everyone out at 12.30 AM, despite the bar closing at one. The only thing this place has going for it is the location, otherwise just stay away if you can. read more

please do not order salads from this place . I rarely call and complaint but I did got this situation. This house salad was over 2O dollars. I spoke with the manager and also showed her the picture only to have her call back and basically say it was fine. She quoted how ever many ounces of tomatoe and chopped cucumbers they put in and said it it the way they always serve them. The few chopped up onions and cucumbers that I needed to search for is what they have affirmed is "that's the way we alsoways make them ". Poor customer service too. Huge rip off read more

Spent the week in Plymouth and visited Cabby Shack twice. The ambiance is nice. They have a calendar outside that informs you of who will be performing during the day. Both times during the week they had live music with great musicians and a beautiful view of the harbor behind them. Upon arrival you're attended by the host who seats you and the waitress comes pretty quickly to take your order. When we first visited we had the Reuben and steak bomb pizza, both were amazing. We sat outside and enjoyed the view right beside the performers. Today we sat partially inside. We ordered the World Famous Clam Chowder, it was thick, the spoon stayed stuck just like everyone said it would. We also ordered the Buttermilk Chicken Stack sandwich, didn't really enjoy the it so we opt for pepperoni pizza instead. The lobster roll was really fresh. Overall Cabby Shack is a great restaurant if you're specifically in that area. It was great enough for us to visit twice. read more

Food: just okay, nothing to write home about Drinks: cant speak on it, only had water. Vibe: entertaining Cleanliness: Staff: took a while for a waiter to come to our table (15-20 min after sitting) but when she did, she was great. I went on a monday night after driving for mini getaway. Monday night happens to be karaoke night which was a nice, fun surprise. DJ was very versatile. Calamari and clam chowder was good. Also when I say we waited for 15 min for a waiter to come, I mean no one came to say I will be right with you or anything, just kept walking past us. That was a little annoying but again once we got a waiter, she was great. Thanks Sophia! read more

You come for the food and get assaulted by the noise level. I don't mind music, but since the place is loud enough without it, the volume needs to be lower. We asked for it to be toned down but that never happened. There were six of us so talking was out of the question. There is a happy medium, I'm sure. read more

My friends and I stopped by CabbyShack before the 4th of July fireworks. It was super busy and the vibes were great. Somehow we were able to find a few seats at the bar. I love the location, right near the waterfront, and you can even see the views at a distance from the bar. I would recommend coming here for the drinks, but not necessarily the food. The bartenders were great and got the drinks out quickly, even with the big crowds. I'd love to come back another time when they have some live music! read more

I had an appointment in Plymouth that finished a little earlier than I had planned and decided to use the extra time to sample some of the area's exclusive cuisine. A quick Google search brought me to CabbyShack, a "casual waterfront spot famed for chowder, pizza & lobster plus a roof deck & live music some nights." After I paid to park, three bucks for 90 minutes, I made my way through the front doors to be greeted by an oceanside version of "Cheers" with an updated splash of Saved by the Bell's "The Max". Bright colors and unique decor, plenty of seating both inside and out, a bar lined with stools, and the "just right" amount of lighting gave the impression that a patron could have just as much of a good time dining with a group of friends as they could having a few drinks at the bar. A young woman with a welcoming smile advised me to pick anywhere to sit, inside or out, and let me know a "server will be with you shortly". It was a little chilly out, right under 60°, so my wife and I opted for a tall table with a window view of the ocean. Seconds later a man of pure hospitality and class appeared at our table to take our drink orders and offer us menus. With so many delectable options to choose from I decided to let my wife pick my plate and once again, she nailed it. Although I was kind of hoping she'd opt for one of the signature pizzas (The Dexta looked especially mouth watering) I was not disappointed in her choice. When the waiter arrived a few minutes after placing our order I was presented with The Captain's Plate; "A hearty platter of fresh fish, whole belly clams, sea scallops, shrimp, onion rings, french fries & coleslaw". A deep fried ensemble of some of New England's signature seafood fare. The closer I get to 40 the more I realize that deep fried foods aren't as easy to recover from as they were in my 20s, but that didn't stop me from devouring almost all of the main course. More than enough food to fill up two or four people, each individual element was frizzled to an immaculate state of dining bliss. Crunchy batter enveloped juicy, fresh, tender chunks of meat and vegetables. The onion rings had a homemade batter that rivaled any I'd had before. The French fries evoked potato clouds wrapped in a crisp, golden shell. The fish, the shrimp, the scallops, the clams...all tasted like they had been caught that very morning right before sunrise. Sure, if I'd had known what awaited me I would have opted for a steamed or boiled option, I've gotta watch my cholesterol at this age, however, I was anything but disappointed in her decision. Our glasses stayed full, our server was attentive, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, and the price was on point for the amount of food and the quality of service we received. May not be a regular stop, it's an hour from home, but definitely worth revisiting when we return to the area. My only complaint is with myself, I should've bought the hand-carved, monkey head, coconut cup for the ultimate reminder of a spectacular New England feasting experience. read more

It's definitely become a dive bar. I used to love coming here, the food was good and within budget. But recently it's gone way down hill. Service was very SLOW. Took over hour 30 to have dinner and 1 drink. We got a dirty paper menu, options definitely changed since last time I was here with less options. Prices range from $15-30, most being closer to $30. Our table was outside and it was dusty. Cocktails average $15, and were very average, not strong or flavorful. Chowder was tasty, but seemed to be thickened with flower or starch. Pizzas were alright. Nothing to rave about anymore read more

I had the broiled haddock, Cole slaw, and augratin potatoes. All were fantastic as was the view.

The atmosphere and staff are wonderful. I order the same food every time I go because I enjoy it. My husband orders a variety and has never complained once or had a negative word about their food. The staff is always attentive and amazing no matter what time of day you go. I give it only 3 stars because of the gratuity fee they charge. read more

Years past, I wasn't too much of a fan but returned as my daughter loves cabby shack. We had a large party that they were able to accommodate. Service was excellent. Food was amazing. Big selection even for those who are not a seafood fan. Best cocktails ever! Beautiful view. Indoor or outdoor seating. Paid parking. Clam chowder super thick and in my opinion too thick but packed w flavor. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience. Went the Thursday before Labor Day weekend so it was rather busy but we were seated right away on the rooftop deck. Wait staff accommodated us with a sleeping toddler; they were respectful and helpful. The beer & cocktail selection was excellent but of course their famous clam chowder doesn't have words to describe its deliciousness (is that even a word??). They are one of the few restaurants in the area that had steamers on the menu which were the best I've ever had. The best part was the steamed lobster special. As a lobster-lover, the lobster was tender and sweet. But the price was so affordable; under $30 with two sides. It was so good. Great experience. read more

Cabby Shack has a fun beach vibe, even in December. The Speakeasies were playing and the place was hoppin. The Speakeasies brought their unique take on covers of blues, soul, and other musical genres. Our amazing server took our order, got it promptly, took care of special requests, and checked in often to see if we needed anything. Although it was busy, she was friendly, and looked like she enjoyed her job. The House Sangria did not disappoint, although it was a bit sweet. The Clam "Chowdah" was thick and creamy and the Walnut Salad was delicious. The Haddock "Horiatiki" Tacos have an interesting olive feta spread and are topped with tzatziki. The sweet pecan pie seemed huge, but it was so tasty we finished it in record time. We will surely return to try the other tempting menu items. read more

I've been to Cabby Shack several times. I've always loved their clam chowder. I'll never go again. $12.99 for a "bowl". I figured it was very pricey, but I was really looking forward to it. When the waiter brought it, I told him that I had ordered a bowl. He told me that it was a bowl. It wasn't as good as I remembered it. Woods Seafood and the Lobster Hut (right next door) charge $5.50 / bowl. They also charged $3.95 for a really bad cup of coffee. Oh well. read more

It's right on the water and there's plenty of parking. You can sit inside or outside. We sat outside and it was beautiful. Seats are not that comfy, they have those plastic chairs that are not the best to sit in for long. Our waitress was great, answered all our questions and was very timely despite having a bunch of tables besides ours. I tried the white sangria it was really good- on the sweet side but I didn't mind. For lunch I had the tuna melt which was on the daily special list. My daughter got a piece of salmon that looked really good. My parents also were happy with their fried scallops and turkey club sandwiches We will be back! read more

Chowder was excellent! We really liked that it was hearty and a great price. The fish and chips were also really good, the breading was light and crispy. Service was a bit slow for the restaurant not being too packed in the off season. It took a good amount of time for a server to greet us read more

Do not go when it is hot outside because it's mostly open air. The food is ok. Drinks are too expensive. A cocktail is $13. RIP OFF. And they add a "hospitality fee". What a crock of shit. If you do go drink water. Beat them at their own game. read more

Service and food were great. Love the live music. Prices on drinks are quite steep! Food portions are perfect!

We arrived and there was a 35/40 minute wait. There was a lot of available seating; I assume the wait was due to the restaurant being busy yet understaffed. We were sat at a 4 person table (we had a party of 5) but they provided an extra chair and there was more than enough space for everyone. The best dish out of our orders was easily the vegetarian spring rolls! I highly recommend & it comes with a spicy dipping sauce that adds tons of flavor! Nachos were a disappointment, Mac and cheese was your general Mac and cheese, Buffalo tenders were well seasoned and portions for all were great! Our server was wonderful. She was very helpful at suggesting what is popular and very attentive! read more

Crabby shack is an old staple.. Food as taken a step back from years gone by. They have a golf machine in the bar for kids to play.. How annoying to sit at the bar and listen to kids screaming noises from the arcade game!!! Who's bright idea was to put that in the bar!!! read more

We went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon in May and despite it down pouring, the place was still pretty busy. I started with a cup of clam chowder, which was very thick, but very tasty! For our meals our table got the fish and chips, fish and chips sandwich, and the fiery shrimp flatbread. The fish and chips meals were both good and the fish totally fell apart which was great, but the fries were pretty bland in my opinion. The flatbread was interesting, not bad, but the flavors made me realize why Asian cuisine does not have any cheese. I do feel like it was a bit overpriced as the split bill came out to $85 for two cups of chowder, two fish and chips, and one beer. read more

Great service...and excellent food that we enjoyed on their outdoor deck..nice ambiance along the waterfront.

Billed as the "best chowdah " at the top of the menu, but it is THE WORST clam chowder I have ever experienced... ever anywhere. We expected a thick chowder but the potatoes were under cooked, and the "soup" was like wall paper paste. It was tasteless and I think they cut up one clam for the entire bowl , it was a hunt to find any among the potatoes and there was no clam flavor. Hubs and I stupidly each went all in for a bowl, not a cup ( which wasn't cheaply priced!) and ate maybe a quarter of it before it congealed to set cement and became inedible. The wait staff paid no attention to the fact that both bowls were uneaten (we didn't complain- not worth the hassle and they were slammed). Others in our party loved their pizzas/flat breads, though. And the sushi offerings looked great, but were very pricey (yes, tourists may pay it and in retrospect, so would we had we known how bad the signature "chowdah " was.) Great beach bar vibe though! I'd go there to hang with friends for drinks but never again for food. read more
