I am not an expert on Cape Cod seafood. However, the lobster roll is as good as we have ever had. The chowder is good and the kids menu is great. We ate dinner at 7 and it was not too crowded. It is set up to seat a goos crowd. The staff are friendly and the dining room is modern, large , clean and comfortable. I would go back again. read more

Another great order at the counter cape cod place. Ordered the broiled scrod and scallops with crab stuffing. This was basically a pot pie aluminum tin filled with scrod and scallops and buttery sauce, topped with a tasty crab stuffing. This reminding me of an awesome hybrid of scallops and clams casino. Super tasty and came with a baked potato and veggies. For $15 on this dish, you cannot go wrong. Onion rings were spot on as well. read more

See all

We frequented the Hyannis location of Cooke's when in it was open quite often! My family and I were taking a drive to Falmouth and thought the Mashpee location would be a nice place to stop for lunch! Familiar with the order at the counter and grab a table style of service, we figured it was the same for the Mashpee location. With two kids under 3, I thought it would be wise to order ahead and eat it at a picnic table or one of the open tables there. My kids don't last long and I really was planning ahead for an enjoyable meal! To much of my surprise; this Cooke's location is completely different! It's a waiter service style restaurant. Don't know if that's new or not, but was completely shocked. There also were not any tables or picnic benches to sit on. When we arrived and realized there was no place to eat; we asked if we could just sit at one of the tables instead. The woman at the front said no, take out is take out! Mind you, our food was not ready, not in a bag, not even in a to-go container yet. My solution? Simply switch it over and we would have provided the server a tip! Also to note, there might have been 5 tables occupied; so plenty of seating. I realize that in the summer this might be a policy to adhere to; but on Mother's Day, an exception to a local, might have been nice! 3 meals for 80$ (two lobster rolls and chicken tenders) and a less than accommodating staff solidified that I will not be returning to Cooke's in Mashpee! An expensive disappointment! read more

As someone has mentioned before, the seafood is amazing but the atmosphere is a bit lacking. I understand that it is a kind of "do it yourself" place, but the waitress looked a bit put off when we asked for help with a few things. That being said - the food was great! I got fried scallops and everyone else got different variations of fried seafood, and everything was enjoyed! It came with enough tartar sauce for everyone and even the kids like their little kids meals. I would definitely go back! read more

We have always considered Cooke's very good if you want it fried and you don't mind disposable cutlery and paper plates for a &17-20 dinner. Went a couple of days ago, and quality was poor ... In the 2-star range. May have been an off night. Hope so read more

This restaurant is terrible. I go here with some my friends to order drinks and the manager yells at my African American friend for simply entering his restaurant. This is not okay. read more

We have tried this place a few times to see if it was consistently bad. Sadly, it was. Twice I've had fish that had the bitter taste of old frozen stuff that's been sitting around to long. The last time we ate there my wife was served an unidentified frying object with an odd uncooked lump at one end. We brought this to the attention of the manager who offered to give us a "credit" for our next visit, fully knowing we weren't from the area. If they had really cared they would have given us refund. read more

We have been going to Cooke's since there was only one location located in Hyannis. So when they opened one in Mashpee we were thrilled. The food has always been good there up until the last few years. For our latest experience we got the Fried Whole Belly Clams and a Fried Sole Platter. The clams came out chewy and rubbery, the fried sole was very fishy smelling to the point where my wife thought it may have been previously frozen. On top of that the prices just seem to keep going up and the portions are getting even smaller. Those two meals cost us 42 dollars without drinks. Needless to say we are done giving this location any more chances. I would rather spend my money at Seafood Sams in Sandwich or Capt'n Frostys in Dennis. read more

Clam chowder was super greasy, not too many clams, not too many potatoes. Grilled salmon plate was bland, little flavor. Also they had complimentary water, but it was warm and no ice was provided. read more

Mixed bag on the food. The fried seafood was like the shrimp, fish and whole bellies was good. Onion rings and fries were good too. The garlic Parmesan wings were really not good. The quality of the wings was good but the sauce was terrible. My mom got the stuffed shrimp because it was on the specialty list and it was awful. The stuffing was a mushy lump of dense bread with giant chunks of green peppers and onions. Don't get it. My aunt got the shrimp scampi with linguini and said it was pretty good. The service was friendly and helpful. read more

Way overpriced. Quality is lacking. Lobster was rubbery. Can't quite figure this place out. You order when you come in, they bring you food and drinks, but no other service. No drink refills, had to clear my own table. Four people stood at the front counter with nothing to do. I guess I've never had lobster fast food before. Had 3 adults and 4 kids and no one thought their food was great... just average at best. read more

Clean space and always fresh! Full liquor license for the guests that want just more than beer or wine. I Love the casual atmosphere here. The staff is friendly even with my picky children. It's a great bargain for the quality and portions that you get. I always try to get to Cooke's when I'm in the area. read more

don t waste you hard earn money in this tourist trap. They are super expensive for the mediocre crap they pawn off as sea food. I live down the street and my family had a craving for seafood.It had been a few years since we were there so we decided since it was close let's check it out....long story short nothing was seasoned at all they forgot my order even though they bring it to your table, I had to go to the counter and ask for my chowder..after every one wad almost done eating.I had to pay for it separately with a 20.oo dollar bill only to realize this could be some cheap Campbell's soup in a can. Then I had to chase the waitress around for my change...oops!she forgot she said.Like I'm gonna pay 20.00 for that swill.Bottom line we all left with only taking a couple of bites each. For 80.00 we could've eaten some place that didn't taste like second rate frozen food read more

Ordered fried haddock for lunch (unfortunately, there was no 'Fish n Chips' lunch special like in Hyannis). For $15.95 I received fries that were overcooked, almost burnt; onion rings that were mushy; and cole slaw that was soupy. And, of course, the 'skin-on' haddock... it was fresh and tasty but it was not a good portion and really, there's no reason to leave the skin on (they didn't in the past). $15.95 for all this, and on paper plates? On a Saturday afternoon at 2p... it was very disappointing. Maybe the owners should go to Kream 'n Kone in Dennis to see how it's done. steve.thomas@mail.com read more

Not bad, but certainly not memorable. The clam strips were better than supermarket-frozen, but not memorable. The fried combination plate looked larger than it was, thanks to a more-than-ample bedding of nearly soggy french fries. A few of the clams were overdone. So the food was decent. Cooke's loses two stars because it was quite over-priced for being a semi-self-service venue. (Did I just say that?) Ordering and paying at a counter is fine for a clam shack, but not a restaurant like this. After they bring you your order, nothing is provided. No complimentary ice water. Go to the bar and get your drink. Go back to the counter and order desert? (We didn't.) They probably get away with this because there aren't many restaurants until you get to Hyannis. read more

Yuck! Bland chowder. Less than wonderful haddock (sliver of fish with a lot of breading), the onion rings cold and slimy, but worst of all SPOILED (spell that R.O.T.T.E.N) Cole slaw. One bite of the Cole slaw and the rest all went in the trash too. Next time I'll hit up Subway. Why do I have to give it one star to post the truth....0 stars. read more

Cooke's is back!!!!A little apprehensive from last year but our take out was delicious Fried oysters flounder and clams done to perfection Call in ,drive up and they bring out to the car.Definatly will be returning. Keep up the good work. Cooke's read more

Really average and overpriced fried seafood. Not horrible by any means, but nothing great either. The batter is all the same whether you order fish or clams, and doesn't have any particular seasoning or flavor. This could be forgivable if Cooks was tiny beach-side fry shack... But its a full sized restaurant, and it charges top price. You can expect to spend $15.99 or more for a single serving of mediocrity. Oh yeah, and you get to eat it in a dining room that's pretty much a cafeteria. Bottom line - For tourists who don't know what really excellent seafood is supposed to taste like. read more

Absolutely not worth the price. Its a fast food joint with a bar attached. You order at the fast food like counter and they bring the food to you on a fast food tray, plastic silverware, paper plates and cups, and togo ramekins for your sauces. I bought the shrimp platter, the quantity was right but the quality was lacking. The breading was bland and it seemed under cooked, and my current stomach ache is confirming my suspicion. Pro tip: don't tip unless you normally tip at fast food places. read more

If this wasn't the only seafood place around I would never step foot in here again. Countless times they mess up my order and blame it on me for "not asking them to repeat it". Unprofessionalism at its best. read more

Food is overpriced to be honest. It also comes out of the kitchen slow. Kind the same restaurant politics as places like the Chart Room.

This is my family's go-to spot. It's rare for us to go down the Cape each summer without going to Cooke's. We love it.

I usually love Cookes but last night the fried scallops were undercooked along with the batter that had fallen off. The fish was good. But the scallops were not good. read more

Food poisoning after having a lobster roll here. Tasted good but no doubt I was sick after from it.

I'll give this place the benefit of the doubt because my grandmother loves it here and claimed her swordfish was delicious. However, I can't get past the fact that this place is basically a fast food seafood eatery with bland, boring food. I would not return considering you could experience fresh, delicious seafood anywhere on the Cape. No thanks! read more

What's with the plastic cups and utensils and the paper plates when you're seated in the dining room? I hate this practice but it's prevalent in lots of seafood places here on the Cape. Cooke's has the ambience of a Denny's, to boot. I like a little character in my Yankee dining. Food was OK. if not pricey. Especially for order-at-the-counter. read more

Great seafood, decent prices friendly staff! We order to go and dine in regularly and always enjoy it!

I thought we'd been to Cooke's before and didn't really like it -- but I think I was wrong. I was pleasantly surprised when we recently ordered take-out. Everything was very good - seafood platters in particular were very good and loved the onion rings. The key was - it was very fresh and wasn't overly greesy. Definitely a fan -- we'll be back. read more

I must say when my folks and I walked in it said Cooke's has been voted best clams in The Cape 5 years in a row. So what's all the hype about? Let me tell you growing up in New England I love seafood! Clams are my favorite and by far I ate my best clams of my life at Cooke's. One thing I didn't like Cooke's isn't full service you order at the counter and get a number. The dining room was clean and inviting. They had a nice bar as well and a couple of flat screens to catch a game or get an ESPN update. They also have excellent lunch specials which were quite inexpensive. I got the plate which came with French fries, onion rings, which were to die for and coleslaw. Give Cooke's a try! read more

Went there for lunch today as I haven't been in a couple years. I must say it was very disappointed. Ordered a (angus). Bacon cheese burger with fries, small onion ring. The burger was almost cold and tasted like it was a frozen patty, cold fries and half battered soggy onion rings. The person I went with had a chicken sandwich that was no prize. We agreed that the best part of our lunch were the ice cold pickles they give with the sandwiches and burger. Next time will go next door to the 99 for at least I know what to expect there. I'm not one for leaving a bad review on the plus side the staff where friendly. read more

Excellent food, but the atmosphere is lacking. The scallops and clams are sublime, the chowder is excellent and the lobster rolls are done right (if a little on the small side). They are very consistent, and everything is fresh and light (hard to do with fried seafood). My family lives on the Cape, and no visit is complete without a meal or two at Cooke's. read more

We were a party of 5. Entering- there is 1 person taking orders and a line out the door. The food comes- all fried seafood portions are tiny with a mound of French fries underneath. The seafood all tastes the same- the batter is so heavy it is indistinguishable. The seafood platter at $28.95 is a RIPOFF! Cookes is now horrible! Take your good money somewhere else. read more

My first clue should have been that you stand in line and order like you are at McDonalds rather than being seated but I gave it chance. Even though the girl at the counter was pissed off and rude like we were inconveniencing her to do her job and take our order. You seat yourself and are responsible for getting your own condiments. I ordered the fried haddock platter and my friend the 1lb lobster dinner plus drinks. Once you seat yourself you wait for your number to be called and then raise your hand and a worker will brink it to you. I say worker because it is not a server, you do not get waited on at all. Ohh and I had to wait for my food to be served to get my sprite, even at McDonalds you get your cup right away to serve yourself a drink, not here, I had to wait about 30min to get my drink! The food: the lobster that was served to us was a pregnant lobster full of rue! Illegal and gross. I know they knew it was a pregnant lobster because you could clearly see it where they sliced it open. My fried haddock was good but my platter came with one small piece and a huge mound of French fries, definitely not worth $12.95. I wanted fried haddock platter not fried French fry platter with a side of haddock. Overall: This place sucks. read more

Soulless but tasty casual seafood restaurant in Mashpee. Order at the counter and they'll deliver your food to the character lacking antiseptic clean dining hall. The menu features fried seafood of all kinds (clams, oysters, scallops, etc) as well as lobster. Food was good, quick, and fresh. Tartar sauce was quality. They do take out and serve wine and beer. Prices are competitive 12-22 for all of the fried seafood. Would be a solid 4 star but the newness and sterility of the place loses a star (i would have prefered a more kitschy less suburban dining experience). Plenty of parking but a bit off the Falmouth/Woodshole beaten path. read more

I love their food! Excellent value and great food! I return multiple times over the summer! I am never disappointed! The specials are delicious and you can't go wrong with their fried clams! read more

One of the world's great seafood eating places, food is always red hot. There is no ambiance so forgetaboutit if you want to impress a date If you want top quality food go to Cooke's read more

The best seafood ? Yeah right. We ordered over $200 worth of food for pickup. When we got home with the food we realize that they forgot one of our platters and charges us more for the food that we did not even order. We were little upset but sometimes that happens with large orders. When we call them they were apologetic but when we got there they were very mean and they told us that we ate the missing platter there and took the rest with us. What the heck are you guys talking about? Are you serious? Before you made any stupid acusations at least check your cameras . That was very humiliating. That's how you run your business? I cant believe how mean they were. read more

Cooke's is solid. It's not the BEST, but it'll cure your fix for some seafood. The lobster rolls are an approachable size at a reasonable price and they come with 2 sides... the french fries are PERFECT. The cole slaw is tasty and the chowder is pretty decent as well. You can get beer or wine, which of course I do. It's a walk up and order and they bring you your food type place. Service is pretty quick. read more
