The restaurant is clean and the counter service is good. The food is very very good, particularly the fried seafood and the baked potatoes (My broiled swordfish was overcooked). We would definitely come here again and it is a good spot for folks of all ages. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. read more

Truly awful. Seafood, right in the middle of Cape Cod, and it represents the worst of New England cooking. Clam chowder? Chowder should taste like the ocean. Rich, briny and the essence of clams. Here it is a thick glop of flour and milk. Clam pudding without the clams. Stuffed quahog for 4.50 and again no evidence of a clam having even been near it. An 18 dollar small order of fried clams was not recognizable as clams. Fried clam parts, half without bellies. I'm embarrassed to think that some visitors will come away thinking they have had Cape Cod seafood. read more

Worst. I love whole belly clams last year we went for lunch and it was terrific, went back for dinner and was terrible. Broken pieces, fried bits of breading only. Guess it dependa on whos cooking. Well this year went back, on vacation. Sunday night. Clams were terrible. Not cleaned full of black crappie and too tough to chew. They advertise local clams now and not true ipswich clams. Might be the difference. Also the Cole slaw was turning from being out all day. My wife called and while explaining the person actually hung up on her. Will never eat there again. read more

I'd give less stars if I could but I can't. We did a take out dinner last night and it was not good. They didn't clean the whole belly clams and the coleslaw tasted like it had been left out all day it was awful. My mom called to complain and the guy hung up on her. Called back and know one picked up. I guess they will talk to us when they realize that we put a stop payment thro the bank. Very disappointed I will be eating somewhere else for seafood. read more

Love this place. Simple, affordable and delicious. No trip to the cape is complete without a visit. Seafood sam's is good and has been around a while but I find cookes to be cleaner and more consistent. Onion rings are great and everyone I bring here loves their seafood. Clam chowder is excellent. read more

If I were to just judge this place for the lobster roll I ate I would give it 5 stars. There were two options, the 4 ounce version and the 8 ounce version. There should really be a 6 ounce version too since the 4 is slightly small and the 8 ounce is over kill; and most people don't want to spend $25 on just the sandwich. Anyway, I ate the 4 ounce portion and it was very good and price well! They got the bun perfectly crisp on the grill and it had a nice piece of lettuce on it. The lobster meat was also very good and had a good amount of mayo on it. If you went with the larger portion you'd have to go lighter on the mayo because it would be overkill and too rich. I think the prices were reasonable because the place was very generic looking inside and it wasn't full service. Overall it was a very good lobster roll that was reasonably priced. If you're looking for ocean views and top notch service this isn't your place. read more

Cooke's Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

Great place for dinner. Easy to dine in or take out. The lime to order took a while but there was plenty of seating. You order at the front, then find a seat and wait for them to call your number. There is also an open bar. The seafood platter and fresh fish sandwich with scrod were delicious. read more

The portions were decently sized. The prices were a little higher than I expected, but based on the quality meals me, I'd come back to Cooke's again. read more

In the summer it is hard for any local to get out and about especially to a fried seafood place. I have been here at least once a year since they opened in this location. This is not necessarily the best seafood on the cape but it is convenient, reasonably priced and never overly greasy. Today was the first time I actually sat and ate in the restaurant. It was the same old seafood restaurant you see abundantly across the cape. In other words, nothing special. read more

Our usual for fried seafood for years Not any more Paid $18 for a half pint of bland undercooked and overbreaded clams Calamari - similarly undercooked and mealy Baked stuffed shrimp were cold as was stuffing We were surprised that the place was empty Now we know why Too expensive for poorly cooked and small portions Won't be coming back to this location any time soon. It's worth the drive to Seafood Sam's instead. read more

Just had their "Jumbo" Lobster Roll for $29.95. What a HUGE disappointment! You would need to purchase 3 of these to equal the amount of Lobster you get if you go to The Raw Bar in New Seabury. This pales in comparison. What a WASTE of $$ read more

Cooke's Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

My wife and I are visiting the Cape for our 35th anniversary and wanted to have a seafood dinner on our first night. We read the reviews online and were satisfied that Cooke's seemed to be a good place to have that dinner since they advertise that they have the best seafood on the Cape! To say the least we were very disappointed! The cashier taking our order was pleasant enough but was clearly overwhelmed as there was only 1 register open and there was a line that was about 15 people deep. To her credit she handled everything like a pro! Once we were seated we waited for a short time for our food to arrive. This is where things plummeted beyond belief. I ordered the $26.95 broiled seafood dinner and a cup of New England clam chowder, and my wife ordered the baked stuffed shrimp special for $16.95. My seafood dinner looked as if it came straight out of the microwave and was honestly tasteless. I had no problem with the styrofoam plate the food came out on but for the quality of the food I may as well have eaten the plate! The chowder tasted like it came out of a can and not homemade at all. As for my wife's meal, the shrimp were well cooked but the stuffing was overwhelmingly riddled with peppers. You could hardly taste the shrimp in the dish. The only flavor available was that of the peppers. I would not ever return to Cooke's and could not recommend it to anyone who reads this! read more

Classic counter style seafood joint....Cape Cod staple of summertime....a little pricey but servings are huge

This place can do much better, it just feels like the staff / management is not doing enough to cater to its clients. All the fried stuff tasted the same, with very less flavor. Portions were small for the price. The chowder was good, however the sides disappointed. The restaurant is nice and big, good for large families and kids. read more

Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Full seafood menu. Seasoning could be improved a bit, but overall was fine for what you get. Chowder was great,I recommend this overall. read more

Stopped for seafood, specifically a lobster roll for my Vermont wife, and wasn't disappointed! The lobster roll was exactly what we wanted and the fried clam plate was a tremendous value. The Cole slaw was very good and the fries were cooked to perfection. Very clean with a friendly staff. The short wait was rewarded with a wonderful lunch. read more

This very average Seafood Restaurant has taken a turn for the worse! If I had to describe the overall eating experience in one word, it would be "rubbery". Keep driving until you hit Kream & Kone! read more

World class fried seafood. The ambience is fried seafood and the food is fried seafood. That's it: fried seafood.

Never Ever Ever Again . We went there last night three adults , three kids . Our dinner came out but mine was missing . So as it came out at three different times, I waited . So after five mins I went to ask where my salmon dinner was, the cashier passed me along to the manager she went to the chef who said it went out with the lobster . I said it didn't , she said but the chef said it did. So then she said can I follow you to your table to check . So she did . She repeated but the chef said it came out and so If I didn't get it someone else just have ... Well no one got there food as same time as us ... She then said again, well the chef said he cooked it . And we all looked at her and were just speechless , she is basically saying I am hiding my salmon platter . She then offered me a bowl of chowder , which I don't like . I said no thanks and so she walked away. We did go to her after to get refunded but she kept repeating that it went out and that the waitress is trained to bring the whole order at one time . Our order came at three different times. So I understand mistakes happen but she ruined my dinner, my visit to the cape and my birthday . I am only giving it one star as I can't give it none in order to submit my comment . read more

Disappointed in very bland overcooked onion rings. Mushy inside. No flavor including the batter. Fish very greasy. Cole slaw was not in a cup, so it ran all over the french fries....soggy ugh. They use to be good! What happened? read more

Very good food. Unconventional with ordering at booth thwn having it delivered to my table. Very nice staff

We wait with anticipation each winter for the end of March to roll around so we can finally stop dreaming about fresh lemon and tartar sauce smeared on piping hot crispy fried calamari. Year after year, this stellar seafood joint never fails to please our whole family. Get a heaping platter of fried shellfish or a tasty grilled filet served with fries, buttery rice pilaf or double cold slaw. Take a seat in a booth of your choice and relax. The ambiance is very casual, the prices as down to earth as the decor, and the food is simple yet unerringly delicious. Wake me up when it's late March! read more

I went to Cooke's for the first time in June 2009. I came back unimpressed. Boring and not very tasty food. Boring ambience. If you don't care about either - go to Cooke's. However, there are several better options in the area. read more

Way overpriced fast food.. High priced McDonald.. Too many good seafood restaurants on Cape to waste your money here... Asked for mayo three times... Clerk kept handing me tartar sauce ! I suggest Three of a Kind in Falmouth... Good portions, great service and prices! Never would go to Cookes again .. Unless your taste buds are numb and you want to waste your money read more

Horrible. Only went because we saw good reviews. 18-25 Dollar fish meals on paper plates and saturated with butter. Don't do it.

This place at one time (around 5-6 years ago) was pretty good. The fried food is mediocre at best- clams,shrimp, haddock all taste pretty mediocre- they need to step it up- I refuse to pay the prices they want for the quality I receive. Disappointed last 2 times. read more

We have been regulars for years. Tonight I went and had my first lobster roll of the season. When I returned home I was immediately VERY sick for more than an hour. I called and spoke to the mgr (?) she acted like she did not believe me! Never asked for my contact information and she offered no gesture or overture of any kind. Regulars and vacationers BEWARE - DON'T EAT THE LOBSTER THERE THIS SEASON. read more

Love this place. Lobster bisque and clam chowder soups are awesome. Steam lobsters are so good and fresh. All the side dishes taste good as well. Will definitely come back. read more

If you are mourning the rapid decline of Cooke's Seafood Hyannis, you will find the food, prices, and service you have been missing are now at Cooke's Seafood MASHPEE. OK, it's a long ride from Hyannis for a piece of fish, but if you are nostalgic for the good old days of Cooke's, visit the near replica in Mashpee. I believe each of the three Cooke's on Cape Cod now has a separate owner, so the old Hyannis owners have not surfaced in Mashpee. But their menu has! This place serves fresh food at good prices and makes you feel welcome. read more

I got the onion rings and clam chowder here to go. I was amazed at the cost of even a side of 1/2 pint of clams - very expensive! They give you a lot of onion rings and the chowder was decent. 4 stars instead of 5 because I couldn't see spending that much on fried clams and that was the whole point of me driving there in the first place. I'll try another place next time. read more

I tried it to compare to Seafood SAMs. No comparison Seafood Sams is much better. Cookes clams are good, but runny tarter sauce, ick!

Went there on a Friday night, Aug.2nd, dying for some fried oysters, they were out at 7 pm, so I settled for a whole fried clams platter. I got 12 clams and a load of frys, the clams were tough and chewy, if this place was voted Cape Cod's best, God help the cape. read more

The food is generally pretty good, but expensive and they offer smaller portions relative to other places close by. We dropped $120 last night for 4 dinners, a jumbo lobster roll, and a salad, and it took them three times to get the order right. They also somehow mixed coffee into the iced tea and it took them 30 minutes to brew a new batch. I would recommend people stay away from the jumbo lobster roll, as it is overpriced for what you actually receive. We generally eat here every time we visit the Cape, but we are unlikely to return because of the high prices, small portions, and inconsistent service. Truly dissappointing. read more

Cooke's Seafood in Hyannis is the best - not just food but service. For a wedding rehearsal dinner our son wanted take-out seafood. Denise was great with suggestions and getting it organized. It was ready on time, perfectly packaged to keep hot, delicious, and a huge success. read more

If you are looking for fried clams this is the place. HUGE portions - could easily feed 2 - and very lightly battered. No service - order at the counter and take to your table. Not a clam shack environment - more of a chain restaurant look - very generic. read more

This was a good spot with an easy quick moving set up. Lobster roll was real good with fries exactly what I was in the mood for, but the onion rings were a let down. read more

So grateful that THIS Cooke's has not changed the recipes that made its name.. Since I won't go to the Hyannis store anymore I can go to Mashpee for fantastic onion rings, scallop rolls and cole slaw the way it has been for decades. Thanks! read more
