    Great service! Fast seating & ordering, unfortunately the food fell flat for me. I ordered 2 sushi rolls, and for being a sushi heavy restaurant (the whole front page of their menu?), I felt like my sushi was really bland! It was good quality - soft rice, soft salmon, but I expected more. beautiful views from the seating areas!

    Crab cake sandwich
    Lindsay C.

    Phenomenal crab cake sandwich. Cooked perfectly, with a nice crunch on the outside but soft crab inside. The fries were also cooked well, crisp and not too soggy. The sauce on the crab cake sandwich was flavorful and complimented the crab cake. Others in my party had the knuckle sandwich and praised the amount of lobster, as well as the fish and chips. Everyone was satisfied with their meal and we got to sit on the back deck in the shade with a nice view of the boats going by. We did wait for well over the time they told us, but I think the wait at any restaurant during tourist season in Cape Cod would've been similar. I'd definitely return!

    Dirty martinis!!!

    It is worth 100 miles to come here in traffic to see Tara and have one of her hot and dirty martinis!!!!

    Whole belly clam roll.
    Steve H.

    Met my Brian's his wife here for dinner Great location on the water and lots of outdoor seating too. The menu is extensive and I decided that I'd get the whole belly clam roll since I can't get them in NC. The clam bellies were enormous and delicious on a toasted New England style roll. I was in heaven.

    First time at this spot but it's going on the permanent list for sure! Inventive cocktails, a beautiful view, and such fresh eats! Excellent service and never wanted for a thing!

    We recently stopped at Fishermen's View for lunch when heading into the Cape for a weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the window views are great! The bar area is first come, first served, and we ended up with a great window bar spot with views of boats coming in and out of the marina. The food was pretty good, especially the clam chowder. The fish and chips were a little too greasy for my preference, and the crab claws were a little tough, but the flavor of everything was enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop in for the views, staff, and drinks!

    Our server in the bar area upstairs was fantastic. Considering it was a pretty popular spot we didn't have too long of a wait. I will say it's quite confusing how there is some open seating but not much clarification on where that is even after asking 2 separate people. Drinks were very good and quick to come out as were our apps. Our entrees did take some time to come out however it was all tasty, we did have a steak order on our ticket and the steak itself had an abundance of fat on it but besides that it had good flavor.

    Dining with a beautiful view of the Cape Cod Canal makes this spot special from the moment you arrive. Even if you don't get a table with a view the water, the atmosphere inside by the bar is still lively and fun thanks to the live music they always seem to have going. The cocktails are some of the best we've had, especially the dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and the espresso martini. The raw bar and sushi are standout choices, but the real star of the menu is the lobster mac and cheese which is incredibly creamy and rich with a generous amount of lobster. Between the food, drinks, music, and views, it's the kind of place that's easy to keep coming back to.

    This is a beautiful restaurant on the Cape Cod Canal. Great water views! We went in for lunch on a Monday and it was packed - about a 15-20 minute wait. The bar scene is very lively and a great place not just to get a drink but also to enjoy a meal. If you like energy... this bar has a lot of it! We could not get a seat at the bar so ended up with a table looking over the water. The dining room is very diverse- everything from families to business luncheons to retirees. It's loud ... but I love a room with a great buzz to it. We had an order of Tuna Sashimi and a Spider roll - both were sizable portions and although they were pricy - the portion size compensated for the price. For drinks we had a beautiful glass of Albariño which was a perfect accompaniment to our meal. I could have hung around and sipped that wine all day - it was a perfect expression of a beautiful Spanish white wine. It's only June so I can't imagine how busy this place gets in July and August. I would highly recommend this place for food - ambience - service and the view!!

    Even on a gloomy, misty day, sitting at Fisherman's View with its many windows and well-positioned inlet vantage point made for a lunch I could've dragged out through dinner & dessert. Aw he**, I could've stayed til lunch the next day! The crab cakes were tender & flakey. And the apple & fennel salad was an ample, crispety-crunchety, flavorful accompaniment. We also couldn't resist ordering the maple butternut squash, which was downright bathing in high quality pure maple-syrup, resembling more of a dessert than a side and exquisite nonetheless. My brother, seated across from me, helped himself to the MP lobster roll... and I watched as his pupils turned into hearts with eat tender nibble. This was a lunch of epic proportions.

    The views of sitting outside.

    My family and I decided to come here, it was a bit of long wait but we read online that it was a must to try out the restaurant. There wait was over 30 mins but it went very fast. We wanted to sit inside but the reservations were all booked for the rest of the year which we thought that was pretty crazy. The food was very very good and it tasted very fresh. The prices were just right as well. I would highly recommend coming here and giving them a shot. Its definitely worth the wait.

    Tuna Sushi Boat, Mai Thai and a bucket of fries.
    Rosalyn D.

    Busy on a Thursday for lunch around 12:30. Seated right away with great views. Service was amazing by our Server Dustin along with the staff clearing nearby tables. Our Tuna Sushi Boat was so fresh and delicious. We also ordered a side of yummy fries and Dustin ( and the kitchen) jumped through hoops to serve our food together even thought the fries were an add on. What an extensive menu! All our dining neighbors food looked so good too. I think we have planned our next few visits. Next item on our list is the Knuckle Sandwich. Maybe more Sushi too.

The clam chowder they offer is fantastic, and the lobster roll kits they have available are as fresh as they get and are very reasonable priced at $18.99 What great about the lobster roll kits for me is it has all the lobster parts, not just the claws and knuckles which I find kind of boring. I love that a lot of their stuff is locally caught as well. If you are looking for the best of the best and the freshest seafood available, then this is your place!

The lobster bisque was disappointing and quite bland, especially given the hype. We also ordered a cup of clam chowder and it barely had any clams in it and was also very bland. I ordered a lobster roll and a separate order of onion rings as well. The lobster roll was just okay , the lobster itself was cooked well, but there wasn't a lot of meat for the price, so it didn't feel like a great value. The onion rings were fine but nothing special. The setup is more of a quick-service style: you order at the counter, get a buzzer, sit down, and then go pick up your food when it's ready. It's convenient enough if you're looking for something fast and casual, but between the bland bisque and chowder and the average lobster roll, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again. I probably wouldn't stop here next time.

We visited on 4th of July weekend, so the minimal parking next the brewery was totally full. Luckily, there's an overflow lot with a shuttle van about 5 minutes down the road. It was pretty tricky to find however, so be sure to ask the staff in the on-site parking lot for specific directions if you need to get there. They serve all the same great beer you expect from Tree House, plus they have a nice little cocktail bar outside, so there's something for everyone. I really liked the Cape Hound and the Rum Punch. They also have great pizzas and lobster rolls, which are a bit pricey but worth the splurge in my opinion. You can also pick up cans to go here, and because Tree House doesn't distribute otherwise, that's a huge win for any locals in the area. Great spot to visit on your trip to Cape Cod. We'll be back!

    We stopped in on a beautiful Friday in July on our way to another part of the Cape. (Thank you…read moreyelpers for your reviews.) We were pleasantly surprised that there were plenty of open tables inside and outside. What we didn't know is that there is pressure to place your order at the counter because there was about a 40 minute wait for food because the kitchen was switching over and finishing up after breakfast. The staff were friendly but there was a busy vibe and I wouldn't say they were particularly helpful - mostly because of no dedicated spot for lining up to order and the woman behind the counter kept instructing people to move the line back so that the food could get carried through. It felt like the person in charge of directing traffic (and there was a young man in charge of this!) should have been enforcing the spot, the printed menus should be moved to this spot instead of on a post in the middle of the "food carrying zone," and that person should also point patrons in the direction of the many specials boards. As they dubbed themselves, "Sandwich's sandwichery," I ordered the Mother Hen sandwich- I was drawn to the avocado and bacon. It was served on a ciabatta style roll and was very tasty. I ordered my sandwich "light on the herb mayo" as I'm not always a mayo gal. It could have used more. I was also tempted by the GIANT pastries they had on display but didn't want to go overboard on day one of vacation. As we sat waiting for our food, we saw lots of people coming in for take out as well as ordering to eat-in. Families, large groups, couples, and solo diners all seemed accommodated. I noted it would probably be a fun place to grab sandwiches to go and eat at the beach or some other outdoor place. During this time I also noticed several other specials that looked really intriguing but in my panic to get an order in, I missed the signs entirely. If you are in, or passing through Sandwich, MA, definitely check out Cafe Chew!
