Fantastic whole-belly clams like I remember from my childhood. Nice crispy fries that didn't sog. This isn't fine dining this is fast food. It was clean and efficient and their bathrooms were clean. I would go back in a second. read more

A classic. I always wanted to try Captain Frosty's and finally took a class nearby. Went for lobster roll platter and a single for husband back home. A very good lobster roll...big chunks and a tasty potato roll with a crisp piece of lettuce. Platter came with two clam cakes and fries. The lobster roll remained the star. Cute spot for eating there too. Counter folks were busy but helpful. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Capt Frosty's for over 20 years. Yesterdays visit was quite interesting. My friends and I arrived about 6:30 to a full parking lot. I was a little concerned as I know how crowded it gets both inside and out and knew it may take a bit to get our order. To our surprise there was no lines, no one sitting at any tables inside and the patio was clearing out as well. Only the patio near the ice cream window was a bit crowded. We tried to place an order for 4 of us but were warned there was a 45 min-1 hour wait for our food due to the preceding online orders. What??? While the servers quickly offered ( & handed us) 1 order within minutes (clam cakes & chowder), we wanted to all eat at the same time and politely refused at that time. A manager(?) came out to reiterate the delay after a hushed discussion among he and 2 servers. They tried again to offer chowder and clam cakes which we again asked to have served all at once. As we stood there we tried to say this was quite odd that we had no priority based on their process. No comments. We did order dinner as had no other options at that point. We did wait for about 20-25 mins. Only 3 of the 4 orders were served together. The 4th dinner came 5 mins later after we asked for it. I think a show of good faith may have been an offer of onion rings for our table or at least an offer of a lemonade or tea for all. Management needs to help their staff manage the live audience a bit better. Hoping next year is better for all customers. read more

Another stellar meal at Captain Frosty's in Dennis. I had the fried scallop plate that was packed with sweet scallops, fries and a couple of clam cakes and hubby had the clam cakes and chowder. We love the place. It is so typically Cape Cod in there. Even the menu board reminds you of the old days. The folks taking orders were efficient, speedy and read back your order to make sure you got everything and nothing was missed. read more

Captain Frosty's Fish & Chips - Clam chowder and clam cakes. Yum! - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

A very good option for fried seafood/ice cream in the area. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Service was very friendly. The clam chowder was really good; had a decent amount of clam and potato, nice clam flavor, and was served piping hot. Just a bit too thin to be the perfect consistency, but not far off. I tried three different clam chowder's on this trip and Captain Frosty's was my favorite. The fried fish and scallop plate was also really good; both were quality and prepared/cooked perfectly. The breading was crisp and adhered well to the fish. Not too greasy either. Maybe a touch on the blander side but that's just me being picky... I would absolutely come back here. read more

So delicious! we come here every year and always have the best food and service! Such a cute shop and good for everyone! read more

Captain Frosty's Fish & Chips - Onion Rings, Hot Dog, Captains Plate - Seafood Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

Fried scallops were a first for me - very interesting! We also ordered shrimp and oysters. I was honestly underwhelmed by the breading - pretty flavorless - but the seafood was very fresh. The fries were also pretty soggy. Wishing there were more broiled options as that would have been our preference, but we knew that we had to go for some fresh fried seafood while on the Cape, so we went for it. read more

This rating is only for clam chowder and not for other item which i wld give higher rating.. first of all clam chowder FELL below my expectation.. its watery.. clam not tasting real clam it's like mushroom in cans.. i know real clams and sometimes they get a little sandy.. also not getting some unique flavor from.. its just stale sorry guys maybe you added more water that day... read more

Got Captains platter, combo of whole bellies, shrimp, scallops & filet of fish. There was no "whole bellied clams, tiny shrimp, scallops ok, miserable meal. Complained to mgr about tiny clams, he agreed to make some more. They never came, when inquiring, cook was on a break. Don't choose this place, there's so many other delicious fast food seafood places to eat nearby. You want your Cape Cod seafood to be delicious read more

Wonderful seafood that is cooked perfectly correct. Great service and atmosphere. I'm 78 and lived on Martha's Vineyard most of my life and this is the only place that tops the Vineyard. read more

All was so good. The scallops were cooked well. It was delicious. My daughter had fried clams had so many shared a few. She also loved the scallops. We topped it off with an ice cream. Delish!!! read more

I've definitely had my fair share of fried seafood/fish and chips and this spot was such a pleasant surprise! I am still thinking back to when we first ordered their fish and chips this past weekend and I can't stop thinking about how FRESH everything tasted!! From the fish, to the fries, and even the freshness of the cole slaw! The fish was perfectly cooked where the fish layers "flake off" and the batter was layered where it is neither too doughy nor falls off entirely. I am normally not a cole slaw gal, but the veggies in the cole slaw were so freshly crunchy and the sauce was not overwhelmingly creamy or savory that it was a nice adjunct to the main entree. Almost forgot that the plate also comes with 2 fried clam cakes as well that were not overly done either. The restaurant was insanely busy when we arrived 30 minutes before closing. (they closed at 8pm, so early on a weekend seeing how it's so busy at closing time!) Just note there may be a little bit of a wait with food after ordering considering how busy it gets. Essentially you order at the counter then if you're dining in then they give you a number and just find the table you're seated at and bring the food to your What we ordered: -Fish and Chips (comes w/clam cakes) -Twist soft serve w/cherry dipped read more

My favorite spot for all things fried seafood. Captain Frosty offers fresh seafood and decent portions in a laid back updated setting. It's a great family option for a leisurely dinner after the beach and offers easy takeout for those wanting to skip the crowds. I ordered the fish and strips plate which was loaded with golden fried deliciousness. The fish and clams tasted fresh and the batter was crispy and not too oily. The clam fritter had a nice doughy texture but a little on the salty side. The clam strip roll was absolutely loaded with clams. While on the pricey side, the portions and quality of the food are worth it. The restaurant had nice seating inside and shaded outdoor seating. It can be a bit tight if it is busy. At 5:30 pm the parking lot was already getting full and there weren't many open tables. Loved the vibe though. Easy to order takeout with toast. Plus you get text alerts when your food is ready. Not something you see with most old school places at the Cape. Great spot. Go give the Captain a try! read more

I heard this is the place to go for fried seafood plates on the cape so of course I had to come here. I went with the fried clam belly plate, which came with fries, coleslaw, and 2 clam fritters. I think it was a little under $30, which I thought was a little steep at first but they advertise on their website it's all fresh local seafood so can't complain! For being fried, the clams were still very very flavorful and not too heavy. Easily the best fried seafood I've had. The fries were also good, nice and crispy and not too thick. I wasn't a huge fan of the clam cakes but that's not to say they were bad, just not my thing. There was plenty of seating inside at 2:30 on a Thursday but I imagine it gets busy on weekends during lunchtime. The employees were also very friendly. Would love to come back next time I'm on the cape and try the scallops and the cherry dipped ice cream, both of which looked delicious! read more

A Cape Cod staple for your fried fish meals. As with most places, it can get pretty crowded so we always order ahead for pick up to avoid the line. Even better is to eat on side because fried food doesn't always travel as well. They have seating inside and out. Also the parking lot can be a bit challenging when it's busy but there's usually somebody always leaving since half the business is takeaway. Food is solid - very consistent. Usually stick with some variant of fish and chips or a fried platter but I've also had the salads with seafood and they're good as well. Great place for families (even if all the kids eat are the French fries) read more

Super casual, roadside stand, atmosphere. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We went on a weeknight around 6:00 pm and there was a 30-minute wait for our food. The clam chowder and fish and chips were excellent and definitely worth the wait. read more

This place is adorable, the space is clean, well thought out, and comfortable. We were able to sit in the back patio which was lovely, plenty of shade. It's a no frills place, but the service was good! Really impressed given that almost everyone working there is young. The food is fresh and made to order and the price is fair. The seafood is definitely the star with minimum seasoning (I thought it could do with some salt and lemon but that's a personal preference). Great soft serve. This place is busy and for good reason, if you're in the area, it's worth a stop! read more

After coming here many times decades ago, I was anxiously looking forward my return. WHAT A DISSAPOINTMTNT!!!! The $30+ "Captains Platter" consisted of EXACTLY 3 whole belly clams, (rubbery); 3 sea scallops, (ok); 6 or 8, slightly larger than a quarter, shrimp, (overcooked); 1 piece of fish that was so small that McDonalds couldn't make 2 sandwiches with it!! The rest was soggy French fries!! The onion rings were great!! Hence 2 stars!! read more

The lobster roll is good. I like the lettuce at the bottom to give it a different texture. Lobster tastes good too. There's indoor and outdoor seating. read more

A Cape vacation is never complete without some quality fare from the local seafood shack, and Captain Frosty's didn't disappoint. I was initially skeptical that I'd be able to find something gluten and dairy free, since most of these places are filled with very breaded seafood. But I was very happily surprised! The menu has a whole salad section with allergen-friendly options, with grilled meat or seafood add ons. I nearly got the grilled scallops with the house salad, but I couldn't ignore my lobster craving. Lobster salad (aka a bun-less lobster roll) isn't listed as an add on, but they fulfilled my request with a smile and zero fuss. Je ne regrette rien. The salad was super fresh with a citrusy vinaigrette, and the lobster salad was even fresher, with a generous portion of meat (not just the small claw bits) and a light coat of mayo. My gluten-loving eating companions were very happy with their lobster rolls, clam strips, and fries -- all still hot and crispy by the time we brought the takeout containers back to the vacation rental. Captain Frosty's is also super conveniently located near Mayflower Beach, so skip the beach snack shack and come here instead! I'm already dreaming of my next Cape getaway... read more

As the implies they serve an awesome fish and chip! The fish is soooo flaky and fresh. It's self serve, you pleace your order in the counter and they give a buzzer. We sit outdoor under the awning of tall trees. Really relaxing. The soft serve ice cream is great!! read more

The clams were amazing! They were fresh and large and tasty. The onion rings were also top notch. However the lobster roll was disappointing and the fish and chips were very average (not bad just not flavorful). The outdoor atmosphere at the picnic tables was lovely. In the shoulder season, it was quick service and barely lines. read more

Oh hi, me again. :) We scoped this place out again after remembering it from our previous two years of visiting. The lobster roll is the best and I can also say the salmon sandwich was equally as amazing. read more

Just okay. Was pretty bummed after reading such great reviews. The restaurant is adorable, but the food is super basic and overpriced in my opinion. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever with the Monty chicken sandwich and there was limited lobster on the lobster roll for the price. read more

Pretty delicious fish sandwich. Although it is busy, moves along fast. The scallops were also quite delicious.

This was a good roadside cape seafood joint. They have a lot of options and I've cream too! Wait times are not bad either.

Food is tasty! Service is amazing ! Ambiance was like going back in time. Old school summer fish shack

Not worth a wait. Has become a tourist trap. 90 minute wait on Saturday 6 pm in july, only to see portions were below ave.size and quality was just decent for Dennis area, As a CC resident I know of 5-6 spots that are cheaper and better with a 15 minute drive. if you are from Connecticut or NY and are looking for a diner that "looks Cape " go ahead , I assume locals know better. Service was good w/ nice people just overwhelmed and too busy, we left at 750 pm and the wait was approximately 2 hours for food. You could feel the frustration from the patrons. read more

Great food, reasonably priced, friendly staff. We like their soft serve too. Their lobster roll is definitely one of the best on Cape.

This place is a Cape Cod treasure. Really good value with delicious quality food at a good price. Had a $22 lobster roll that was excellent. Had a super tasty fish and chips and a Caesar salad. Love this place. read more

First day in Cape Cod, and for a meal between lunch and dinner we decided to go to Captain Frosty's. Captain Frosty's is located at a crossroad with limited parking, seating inside and outside. We ordered the fried fish sandwich with cheese, fish and chips and the captain platter... fried fish, shrimp, mussels, scallops and fries. The fried fish was in our opinion too blend, we expected it to be more seasoned--but maybe that is the way it is done, it was after all our first time here in CC. The service is friendly, and fast... we sat outside and once the order was ready a waitress brought our order to us. We enjoyed our first meal at Captain's in Cape Cod. read more

Quick service, fair prices, good (large) portions, friendly staff, great fried seafood. And the soft serve ice cream is good too. I ordered the fried clam strips plate. Comes with fries but I upgraded to the onion rings. Huge pile of clams under the onion rings. Came with tartar sauce, a small coleslaw, and two of their version of hush puppies. It was all good, but I could not finish it all. read more

I was visiting the cape for the weekend, and a friend recommended this place to me. My friends and I got clam chowder, lobster roll, cod plate, onion rings, and salmon dinner. Everything was so good, the portions were generous, and the prices were fair. You order and pay at the counter, take a number, and find a seat. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors; we sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. The employees bring the food to you no matter where you're sitting, which is nice. And the food came out pretty quickly too. I'll definitely come here again if I'm ever in the area. I want to try their ice cream next time!! With a name like "Captain Frosty's" they gotta have good ice cream, right? read more
