It was my first time in The Cape and everyone kept recommending Spanky's so I had to check them out. I ordered the lobster roll (hot) with fries Everything was fresh and hot. They are not skimp with the lobster, the chunks of lobster overflowed onto my plate. The second time was with my mom. I ordered the fish sandwich w/ fries and she ordered their baked stuffed shrimp. The seafood stuffing on the shrimp was a bit overcooked but my mom enjoyed her meal. She liked it so much, she ordered it for takeout. Service is great with a view of the harbor.

I cannot rave enough about this place. I've visited Hyannis in March, three years in a row. Every…read moreyear we have eaten here for one of our meals. Every year is has been incredible. This year we came back because of how outstanding last year was. I ordered the chili again, even though I knew it meant I probably wouldn't eat my whole meal. My friend ordered the fish and chips and upgraded to truffle fries. She said it was probably the best fish and chips she's had. Now... for my meal... I am not exaggerating... BEST meal I have EVER had. Ever. I had the cod. Baked. With pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes. Served with roasted potatoes and spinach. So flaky. So tender. Perfectly cooked. The flavor was something straight from heaven. Breaks my heart I'm not local. I'd eat this weekly. All of the staff is always so friendly. A gentleman also checked in... not sure if he's a manager or owner. This is a top notch place. I'll definitely be back.

We recently stopped by Portside Tavern and were reminded why we love great local spots like this…read more It's a fantastic low-key bar that's just as good for dinner as it is for catching a game. The TV screens are perfectly placed, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The pizza was excellent -- flavorful, hot, and done just right. We also tried the meatloaf, and it genuinely reminded us of our grandmother's from years ago -- comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. That's not something you find everywhere. Even in the middle of winter, the place had a warm, lively vibe. We ended up having a great conversation with someone we later found out was the owner -- just chatting about everyday life. That kind of genuine hospitality says a lot. Good food, great service, and an easygoing atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience -- we'll definitely be back!

Truthfully I've had better at food truck...too much mayo and celery. Bun was not buttery nor toasted Okay, enough with the negativity. I did have the VeryTasty, very creamy seafood bisque, albeit serve on a waxed lined to-go bowl that you get at chilis for my leftover salsa ($13) , along with my $11 (1) quahog served on a clamshell. Quahog is a clam. It was not stuffed, can't be stuffed...its more of a stuffing with quahog served MAYBE on a quahog shell.... Service was normal what you would expect, nothing special that made me feel welcome and glad I was eating at their establishment. NO friendly "how Ya'll doing? Have you dined with us before? celebrating anthing special?" NOW...the outdoor eating place was very nice and I think that's what I paid for. $66 later, we were ready to go.... I did ask for a military discount and they were generous to give me 15%. And cheaper if you paid cash So my tip is: you are, paying for fine dining experience and harbor front al fresco dining at maybe a chilis quality

Highly recommend.

The location is stunning, especially as the sun sets over the water. Just don't show up without a reservation unless you're in the mood for a wait. We were quoted an hour... it turned into two. Not ideal with two kids under four, but we made it work thanks to a small beach 10 minutes away and a drink from the bar to take the edge off. Valet parking is your only option and it's a bit chaotic--just let the pros do their thing and be sure to have a tip ready. Once you're seated (inside, out on the patio, or in the covered sunroom), the ambiance is relaxed but lively, and the place is huge with no shortage of staff buzzing around. Food? Totally worth the hype. We started with fresh oysters and complimentary bread with butter--off to a great start. I ordered the scallop risotto, and I'm still thinking about it. Creamy, rich, and layered with bacon, lobster, corn, and seared scallops cooked to perfection. Half our table ended up ordering so there was no disappointment once the first plate made its debut. The kids' pizza also deserves a shoutout--fluffy, golden crust that almost made me abandon my risotto and ask for a bite. The wine list was solid, cocktails looked great, and my boyfriend gave the beer selection a shrug. Our server wasn't the friendliest and water refills were a game of "guess when she'll remember," but honestly, it didn't overshadow the meal. Final word: amazing food, a beautiful waterfront view, and the kind of bustling Cape atmosphere you want on vacation. Just make a reservation, tip your valet, and order the risotto. Trust me.

We hit lunch at the right time. We ate a party of 5, traveling through Cape Cod to Martha's. We hungry. For Apps we got onion rings and I got butternut squash soup.

The waiter let us know, it's the end of season and they will be packing it all up for the winter! Whew! Y'all it's cold! But thanks for good food and service!

We got two big, beautiful steamed lobsters, 3 pounds of steamers (I could have easily eaten twice this amount, they were huge and meaty and delicious!), clam chowder, and herring in wine sauce. Easily as much as restaurant meals we had, but WAY more food for the money and the experience was WAY better. Wish we had discovered this place earlier in our journey, but we will definitely be back!

I thought it was like an Urban Outfitters, until we started singing 'My Sharona' and my bride looked it up. Pleasantly surprised that it was a seafood place. Well, burgers and dogs too, but I'm a pescatarian so... The onion rings are incredible... like the old A&W on Route 139 in Marshfield in the 1970s. Service was great. Plenty of parking too - just watch carefully before you get back on the main road to get to 6. Prices were reasonable. Very big and large facility, and it looks like it could have been designed by an architect during the COVID Crisis of 2020 meaning it is very roomy.
