We are local to Brewster and have been going to JT's for over 10 years. It's one of our favorite places. The staff is amazing and always helpful/smiling. The food is great and lots of non seafood options. The ice cream is always amazing and has such a great spot to sit. Highly recommended!! read more

I wouldn't run back here. The clam strips are hardly coated and the breading falls off. The fries, lobster roll, and clam chowder were great. We got two pounds of steamers which were good, but 25% of them were broken shells so you don't know if they were alive. See photo. Not cheap either. Cool restaurant with nice outdoor seating. read more

J T's Seafood - Chicken pesto panini - Seafood Near Me - Brewster, Massachusetts

When you see their menu and wonder if you should try it, just say, "yes". Everything here is so good! We were on town for a few days and we ate there three times. Wish I could fly their stuff to home fresh. Since you can't, go there while you can read more

Amazing stop for seafood. It's easily accessible from the Cape Cod Rail Trail (you just have to cross one busy road) and they have a bike rack/plenty of outdoor seating. We came during Sunday lunchtime and didn't have to wait super long to get our food (a god-send, considering how famished I was). They have an extensive menu of basically everything seafood. - Lobster panini: I have a soft spot for paninis. Filled with generous chunks of lobster and lots of cheese, this one was an elevated take on a grilled cheese. Bread was perfectly nice and toasted, with beautiful griddle marks, and didn't scrape the roof of my mouth bloody. 10/10! - Caesar salad with crab cake and scallops. Another must-order. My favorite part of this meal was the crab cake - so moist and dense and well-seasoned, stuffed with crab meat, no filler at all. The scallops were expertly cooked, a nice sear on the outside and tender in the middle, but I would have eaten another crab cake. The only thing I'd skip next time was the lobster bisque, which was just okay, kind of one-note, and not much lobster bits. And I wish they had bottles/cans of drinks, instead of fountain cups with no refills - my cousins/friends living in Europe would be horrified at how quickly I demolished a medium size cup of fountain soda (which, to my eye, looked practically kiddie-sized). Seating: right out front next to the road, indoors, and a back patio. If not for the bikes, we would have picked the back, which was a lot quieter and less dusty. I kept eyeing the ice cream selection but decided, in a rare show of restraint, not to get any, considering I had to bike back to the parking lot. read more

The fries have somehow gotten even worse, the portions are smaller, and the prices are ever higher. Not entirely their fault as the price point is fairly typical for the area, but they didn't have to tack on the credit card surcharge (which is illegal in MA anyway). If you live in New England there is almost certainly better fried seafood in your home town that is also significantly less expensive. read more

Service was awful. Food was meh and everything was overpriced. The attitude was "we're so good, we don't need to give any customer service for a $240+ bill- food only. Do not waste your time!!! read more

This was truly a mixed bag. The better parts of the meal were the clam chowder and the grilled scallops. The chowder was creamy and briny at the same time. Definitely worth getting. The grilled scallops, while not the largest I've ever seen, were nicely cooked and sweet. The hot lobster roll was close to being a hot mess. The lobster, while plentiful, was overcooked and stringy. It was quite a disappointment. The sides with the grilled scallops were forgettable, with bland veggies and puzzling rice and beans. Service was pretty good, and the ice cream was cold. It's right on 6A, so the restaurant is easy to spot. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch before hitting the beach. We ordered a kids chicken nugget platter, a kids fish and chips, a grilled tuna sandwich, a bowl (8 oz.) of lobster chowder (it had the smallest sliver of lobster claw the rest broth), a medium soda, and two canned alcoholic beverages. The food was ok but being charged $70 dollars for this seemed somewhat excessive... I realized on this trip to Cape Cod, the prices everyone is charging are owners trying to recoup what they lost during Covid, but all at once?? read more

This is good seafood. Not Dazzled up and a fair price for the food get. We went twice while we were visiting Brewster in Cape Cod. The reason we went twice was it is convenient to area where we were staying and I liked the chowder. The first visit we had the fisherman's platter for 2 and clam chowder. Lots of fried fish, clams, shrimp, scallops onion rings and French fries. Could have fed 4 people. The chowder was very creamy and good flavor. Lunch the next day was 1 pound of there steamers, a clam chowder and crab cake sandwich. Everything was good again and fresh. read more

I stopped by for a lobster roll this week and was informed by the person at the counter that JT's was closing for the season after Sunday, September 15, 2024. I had been to JT's Seafood earlier this Summer and ordered the same items: a hot lobster roll and cup of lobster bisque. During my earlier visit the lobster roll was as expected and the lobster bisque was hot and delicious; however during my visit on Thursday September 12, 2024 the lobster roll and bisque were unsatisfactory. The bun was so soggy I couldn't pick up to eat it. They appear to have been short on lobster meat as they had clearly added some imitation crab meat to the hot lobster without checking to see if that was ok, which it was not. If I'm ordering a lobster roll, I'm expecting all lobster. The lobster that was there was overcooked. The lobster bisque was bland and luke warm. Clearly if you can't maintain standards you shouldn't stay open for this long into September, closing a week earlier might be better or perhaps taking menu items off the menu if you can't ensure quality. It was a very disappointing experience as I'm a fan of JT's Seafood - pro tip - avoid going there before they close for the season. Note the photos are from my earlier visit. read more

Granted it is the end of the season but we had two lobster rolls from J T's tonight that were horrible. One of them had some recognizable claw meat in it but the other one was just pure mush, presumably from an unrecognizable part of the lobster. As bad as the lobster rolls were the french fries were worse. We each ate a couple and threw the rest away because they were that bad. I almost never write negative reviews but it is hard to recommend this place read more

Great variety of food options, so the kids are happy and the adults are happy. Fresh fish, properly cooked and flavored, plus ice cream for dessert. We enjoy going to JTs and will be back for sure! read more

Always looking for great spots on the Cape and wanted to try JT's. Totally unimpressed. Service was slow and unfriendly. We ordered a poke bowl, chicken wrap and the luncheon special, a lobster roll for $20. Chicken wrap was the best thing we got. There was a good amount of chicken, and it was tasty. The poke bowl was just kinda strange. The good news was that it had plenty of tuna and rice. The bad news is...that was basically it. Two microscopic slices of avocado, very little seaweed, a few strands of seaweed, and no sign of any onions. Also, the Chili sauce was very spicy, and it overwhelmed the taste of the tuna. The lobster roll had an ample serving of lobster but the bun was toasted without butter. As a warning, after paying we looked at the receipt and the lobster roll was $29 not $20. There was a long line of people ordering but I went back up to ask. The counter person told me "oh, that is without a side and you said you wanted cole slaw." We said "we don't want $9 cole slaw. She just stared at me and said "that's what you ordered." We stared at each other for a bit but I walked away because I didn't want to make a scene. My mistake. But I did make one decision, I will never go back. read more

Love their food its always delicious, I know the family that owns it and there all very nice people. As well as the staff are very amazing. Overall very clean delicious and a welcoming place to go for food! read more

We stopped while driving, due to the cute outdoor patio. Really friendly service, very clean, and the food didn't take too long to arrive. I ordered the lobster roll and it was a bit dry, but had nice sized pieces of lobster. The French fries were a bit greasy for my liking. My son ordered the calamari that came with fries and coleslaw. His had a nice coating and he enjoyed it, however, the coleslaw was a bit overdressed. They have a few beers on tap and my son had the Cape Cod Blonde, which he really enjoyed! read more

This is a great spot and I definitely recommend going off peak if you can, because the lines can get crazy long! It's a walk up type place, place your order, and grab a number for your table. Great seafood, no frills, and save room for dessert so you can get back in line for ice cream after! My son loved it here and I would happily return. read more

Really good food and ice cream. Able to order at the counter and they deliver. Great for larger groups with no reservation and no real rate. Really enjoyed the calamari and the ice cream (home made too). Everything was delicious, recommend read more

Local seafood place that you can get the typical variety fried seafood options. There is seating inside and outside. There is also ice cream and beer and wine. The seafood was okay at best. For being in Brewster I had expected amazing seafood but I have had better fried seafood at other places. The staff was nice and the food came out quickly. I'm not saying that this is a bad place to eat but if you want fried seafood find somewhere else to go. The best part was the ice cream. read more

Stopped in for lunch today and found the restaurant to be fairly quiet. Restaurant is very bright and airy with indoor and outdoor seating either in the front of the restaurant or in the back. There is plenty of parking. First time here thinking it was a regular restaurant instead of place your order and take it to your table place. Not a problem just had to make a mental adjustment. We were greeted promptly by the cashier who was pleasant and answered our questions easily. Menu is pretty extensive offering plenty of lobster, clam, and sandwich selections. We ordered the clam chowder, hamburger with fries and the whole belly clam platter with fries and coleslaw. There was a little bit of a wait for the food but not an enormous amount of time. The tray was delivered to our table by a very pleasant server. Condiments are located on a shelf in the middle of the restaurant which included ketchup (squirt bottle), packaged relish, packaged mayonnaise and bottles of hot sauce. Salt and pepper were on the table along with napkin dispensers. The burger was well done to the point of being dry and three packages of relish didn't do too much to moisten it. Fries could have been cooked longer to make them crispier. The chowder was good, wasn't too thick and had plenty of potatoes and clam pieces. Not the greatest that I've had but was ok, don't think I'd get it again. French fries, same comment as above. There plenty on both dishes but just not quite crispy enough. Whole belly clams the restaurant has no control over what quality they are getting so I can't fault them for that but the frying was a little intense in that they were overdone, couldn't find a lot of bellys, and in general were not the best I've had. Did come with a small container of tarter sauce. Coleslaw, again like the fries, was unremarkable. Given this experience I don't see another trip in the future read more

We ordered the fisherman's platter . It was more like a French fry and onion ring platter with a cost of $ 43.99. Extremely disappointed and not worth the money . Crab cake sandwich was also not worth the money . read more

We have been in the cape for a week on vacation, and we have driven by nightly consistently seeing a full house. Well, we finally stopped in and we were SO GLAD that we did. The food was phenomenal. The hot lobster roll was the best we had tried this week (we have tried 6 others this trip), the lobster was fresh, cooked perfectly and seasoned well. We also ordered fried shrimp - fantastic. We ended up getting two orders to go. The biscuits we ordered were a little hard but still great flavor. The BLT and corn on the cob were great. We ordered hard chocolate ice cream afterwards and that was also wonderful. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very patient while our group of five took longer than usual to order. Definitely stop here for an incredible lobster toll and other great food if you're in the area! read more

Great roadside seafood spot in Brewster. Not as much outdoor seating as you'd like but quality fried seafood nonetheless! Ended up coming back later for ice cream and was thoroughly impressed by the selection and quality of it as well. read more

I just spent $34.00 on a "lobster" roll at JT's. Yes, there was a fair amount of meat and yes, there was a claw in my roll. However, have you ever seen a 2 inch lobster claw? Probably not because I think my lobster roll was really langostino (Squat lobster) NOT okay. No thank you JT's! I feel deceived! Langostino is a Spanish word that can refer to different types of crustaceans, but in the United States it's commonly used to describe the meat of the squat lobster, a small crustacean that looks like a cross between a lobster and a large prawn. Langostino are smaller than lobsters, about the size of a large prawn, and weigh up to 7 oz. read more

This place was awesome! Staff was friendly and love the ample amount of outdoor seating in front as well as out back! They also offer indoor seating as well! Huge menu with a ton of options and endless seafood, just what I was looking for in the Cape! The Lobster Roll hot buttered and as a special was on a croissant was PHENOMENAL and HUGE!!! Definitely recommend stopping by this place if you're in the area! read more

About 9 times out of 10 they are out of 3/4 of their ice cream flavors, and when they do it's very expensive for their hard ice cream. The other ice cream is just Gifford so unless you want someone else to scoop ice cream for you, just walk to the Cumberland farms right Nextdoor and get ice cream there. But their seafood and other actual food is good read more

*Covid 2020* Solid lunch place and they have multiple windows for social distance, ice cream and ordering. Lobster roll was fresh lobster witch I always appreciate and it came with extra butter White sangria was tasty could easily knock back 3 of those. Caesar salad was standard and the tuna on top was great and didn't have that fishy taste, could of used some salt and pepper. Lobster bisque was thicker then I liked but had a citrus zing to it that I liked a lot and had an entire claw inside! Outdoor seating is spaced out and has umbrella. read more

Good food, great spot. You're able to sit outside in front of the restaurant, inside, or under a cover in the back so you have the best of both worlds. A little pricey, but love the ambiance. read more

Great lobster rolls, especially the hot one (served hot with butter instead of cold with mayo). Fries were good as well. Good kid's menu with decent portions. Staff was very friendly and there is lots of space for social distancing for takeout during COVID. read more

I get to the Cape to visit my family a few times a year. Top of my list of things to enjoy is a big plate of fried clams. On a recent visit I stopped at JT's for lunch to get that fried clam fix. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and I happily placed my order and took a seat outside. Shortly after, the moment I had been waiting for arrived! But wait...what's this? The skimpiest plate of fried clams I have ever seen for the $$$ I paid. Further, they were over-cooked and not tasty. The accompanying French fries were also just...meh. As much as I'd like to recommend JT's, I just can't...at least if your jonesing for friend clams. Many other places on the Cape to find what your belly wants. read more

We are staying very close and drove by a number of time so decided to stop and give it a try. We ordered the lobster roll and fried scallop platter. The food was good - not the best but certainly not unhappy with our meal. Would go back especially if we were also looking for ice cream. Otherwise on to try other places! read more

Great version of seafood shack. Order food, sit at a table, your order brought to you. Staffed largely by high school kids who hustle and do great work and are very friendly. I ordered fish and chips; the piece of fish was huge and fried to perfection. Everyone enjoyed the food. After, there is an ice cream station with a great selection of flavors. Excellent. Highly recommended. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and it hit the spot! We had no trouble finding a table on a Saturday afternoon but we did come in a bit late. The lobster roll was amazing and had huge pieces of lobster in it! So definitely worth the price tag. The tuna poke bowl was also great, as the tuna was very well-seasoned! They also have ice cream if you're looking for that. read more

Last minute decision to come here our first night in Brewster. We had to wait about 25 minutes in line and then the food took about 30 minutes to come. Besides the frustratingly long wait, everything else was good. We had fried fish and scallops and the scallops were delicious. The fried artichoke special was a last minute add for us but we were very happy we did. Paired this with a salad and some corn on the cob for a great welcome dinner into Cape Cod. By the time we were thinking about ice cream that line was very long so we decided to forgo more waiting. Very family friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Visited 09/02/2019 Taking the local roads up to P-Town, we stopped here for a quick bite. There's always time for a good lobster roll, right? Well JT's got them... and some excellent soups too. I had the lobster bisque, while my wife had the NE chowdah. (That's how it was spelled out on the menu!) Both soups were very very good. We shared a warm lobster roll (no mayo... just warm butter) although I would have preferred the roll with mayo, but this was just a "quick snack" on the road to P-Town and we weren't all that hungry. Beer and wine are available as is friendly service from the staff. I'm glad we took the local road. read more
