The buttered Lovster roll, the bread was stuffed with lobster meat.. which is not a bad thing!
Shawn B.

Food was really fresh, the Buttered Lovster roll was delicious, and the fish and chips were also very good!!

Great scenic location to visit when on Cape Cod. The ordering process was easy. They will call out your order at a pickup window when it's ready. Decent amount of outdoor picnic table seating. Great views from the pier. the best clam chowder I've ever tried! The clam pieces were so big. It was delicious. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed with my lobster roll for the price. I wasn't expecting lettuce on there and just didn't really enjoy having that mixed in. The lobster pieces were massive though.

Fish and chips
Alex L.

Super fresh fish! The fish and chips were so soft and tender and didn't feel to heavy. The swordfish sandwich was also super fresh and delicious. I don't think you can go wrong here getting local fish. Popular for a reason, takeout only. Parking is chill since there's a huge parking lot. There's a nice pier/balcony to sit and eat, and it faces the water!

Chatham fish pier offers a classic New England seafood experience with fresh fish and a beautiful view of the ocean and north island. I went with the lobster role, which is freshly steamed with a touch of mayonnaise. The serving size of lobster within the bun was generous and the touch of mayonnaise does not overpower the meat. As a big seafood fan, especially New England style, I truly think I I would like almost everything on the menu. See pic of menu. If I could I would rate a 4.5 out of 5 since it is expensive, but well worth it. The staff is friendly, and although a bit crowded orders come out efficiently. I walked up to the top deck of the building next door to get a view of north island and the bay. Saw some massive seals and the fishing boats. Great experience overall!

Fish and chips & lobster roll!

Always a treat in the summertime! Usually a long line that goes very fast and we love to eat our food at the picnic tables nearby. My husband and I split the fish and chips and the lobster roll. Both were insane portions and sooooo good. I would recommend getting either the fish and chips or the lobster roll, but anything you get will be delicious.

Great seafood! Some of the best I've had on the cape. Super fresh! The fried food was a little greasy but the quality of the fish surely made up for that minor quip. We had the clam chowder and lobster bisque. I was tempted to mix them but didn't. Both were remarkable. The lobster bisque had huge pieces of meat. So good! We also had the lobster roll and the fried clam bellies and they were fantastic. The line moved fast and food turnaround was also quick. The seating was challenging as they didn't seem to have enough benches for people and it was rainy outside. I don't believe they have any indoor seating so be prepared for the elements. Anyway, Chattanooga Pier Fish Market is definitely worth the visit!

This spot never disappoints--watched the boats unload their catch for the day, looked at the playful seals and birds hanging close for scraps, and then dinner on the picnic tables. So very fresh and quicky, friendly service!

Service was quick, food and views are great. Lobster roll and bisque had so much lobster meat! Fries are also amazing. Definitely recommend

3.5 Stars. Seafood round two! We got Buttered Lobster Rolls, Scallop Basket, Clam Chowder, Clam Fritter, and Whole Belly Clam Basket. The Buttered Lobster Roll was tasty, though for subsequent orders we'll definitely order the cold mayo version. Also, the lettuce made the bottom of the lobster roll soggy and somewhat unappetizing. The Scallop Basket was easily my favorite item out of the meal: huge, tender scallops with a crispy crust. Both the Clam Chowder and Clam Fritter were pretty solid. The Whole Belly Clam Basket was falafel-esque balls of clam that had far too much dough compared to clam, disappointing

Lobster roll

Incredible!! This is a must stop place if you're in Chatham. We split a lobster roll and clam chowder. The lobster roll came with fries that were so good too. This was hands down the best clam chowder we had while in Boston and on the Cape. Can't wait to go back!

Grilled cheese, fish sandwich, calamari
David M.

Ordered the calamari and it came with a heaping order of fries and a relatively small amount of calamari, they were the worse calamari I've had. The shrimp sandwich was ok, though not expecting it to be deep fried, should have asked. The kids grilled cheese was fine. I'd pass here. Approx 20 min wait.

The best lobster roll I've ever had. 6oz of meat for $39 - a great deal! The largest lobster roll I found on the cape. Served with fries & coleslaw too. Order inside, pickup outside. Nowhere to sit inside, but some benches outside. It gets busy.

Outside

Really cool setting by the fish docks. You can watch the fisherman come in and unload their catch while the seals swim around the docks. Parking is very limited and the spaces are extremely tiny. The fish market restaurant is no-frills, and limited picnic table seating outside. I had the lobster melt with fries and coleslaw. Really good sandwich and I would recommend it. Lots of menu options. Service was quick and adequate.

Fun experience. Solid clam strips, although a bit cold. Really friendly team that works here. A classic solid spot.

Fun spot to stop for a real Cape Cod seafood meal! The outdoor seating is ample and comfortable!!…read moreAnd they allow dogs!! The chowder is tasty and fresh made!! The atmosphere is casual and relaxing!! Definitely worth trying!!

We were so looking forward to trying out this famous restaurant and were sadly disappointed. We…read moreordered a warm lobster roll, french fries, clam chowder, fried clams and a crab cake. I try to find positive things to say when I write reviews, so I will say that the crab cake was the best thing we ordered. It was crispy on the outside and had a good crab flavor. After that, everything was sad. Including us. Disclaimer: I am from the west coast. It seems like this is an east coast favorite? Or did we just get bad food that day? Chowder was more like a watery soup. Not at all creamy. Had lots of potatoes, making it more like potato soup. Clams in it were ok but the flavor was bland. DIdn't finish. Much preferred the rich taste of the bowl we had in Nantucket, for about the same price. Lobster meat in the roll was tough and disappointing especially after paying so much for it. I eat a lot of lobster rolls and had one the day before in Nantucket that was superb. This was too chewy and not very warm. Didn't finish. Fried clams were not at all what I was expecting, but maybe this is an east/west coast thing again. Very chewy and the breading was very light and not very crisp like you get on the west coast. Didn't finish. French fries were ok but nothing special. Bland. After reading all my Ellen Hilderbrand books we were really looking forward to experiencing Mac's. The hype for this place and strong reviews make me think it's a coastal preference, but for our group of 3 west coast visitors, it was not at all what we expected or were hoping for, especially given the prices.
