Stopped in for a quick bite to eat before our whale watch. Got dogs and chicken fingers. You order at the counter down on the street. They have an upstairs seating area full of tables with covered umbrellas. I was surprised - on a Friday afternoon (3pm) in august - the upstairs was empty. We had it to ourselves. Good food made quickly. We only had 20 minutes to eat before our whale watch and John's delivered. read more

The food was very good. However, the best aspects were the price and portion sizes. If you are in the market for a hearty meal that won't break the bank then I truly suggest giving John's footlong a try! Additionally, the hotdogs are pretty darn good and tasty! read more

Delicious crab sandwich. As someone that grew up eating Maryland crab I am very picky about my seafood. Their crab sandwich is next level. Quick service even on Memorial Day weekend. I could have done without the shrimp sandwich personally because it was not explained well. I thought I was getting a mayo or butter based shrimp sandwich but it turned out to be more like Po' Boy. Some may love it, just not my personal favorite and would have not ordered it if I knew the shrimp was fried read more

John's 12 Inch's was a tasty treat while hanging in P-Town and would highly recommend pounding one down. The real key to the 12 inch hot dog is the bun. A Massachusetts thing but this simple grilled bun wrapping the full 12 inches makes it. Now add your own sauce or as I used mustard to finish it off. Now there is some other fried items I'll take the dog every day and on the weekend. Grab a seat on the roof to relax and enjoy. read more

John's Footlong - John's 12 inches of pleasure in P-Town - Fish & Chips Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

This take out place right near the ferry landing is very well known in Provincetown. I have gotten many goodies out of their window throughout the years...hot dogs and clam strips. Their clam strips are golden and crispy, just the way I like them. They have a small and basic menu, but everything is good! Check it out ..... read more

My first food stop in Provincetown for a lobster roll. It's an outdoor ordering bar which makes it convenient if you are with pets (I had my dog) but note that it is Cash only. I ordered their lobster roll (market price right now is $28) with small fries ($5). Upon receiving my food basket, I went up the outdoor steps to their deck seating area. The fries were thin and crispy. It was a bit odd but I did find select fries to be more lukewarm compared to the ones that were hot. They may mix fries that have been sitting out longer with the fresher hot ones; it was still good though. Now my lobster roll was delicious. It was super tender and juicy. I took my time eating and savoring each lobster bite. This is such a great place for a quick grab and go meal at an affordable price for this area. I highly recommend checking this out. read more

John's Footlong - Lobster roll with small fries - Fish & Chips Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Right on the pier. You can find good food here! My mom had a craving for a hot dog and this place hit the spot. The price was right and who can resist cheese fries? I love the quality of bread and the fact that they grilled them to perfection. The cheese sauce was also great. The only thing I would like to see is an upgrade to the actual hot dog meat since this is their name and specialty, but it was still worth the price overall. Make sure if you are looking for a quick bite to check this place out. read more

Can't go wrong with John's. Great hot dogs. Great price. Quick and easy! Only thing was bun wasn't big enough for the footlong but wow what a dog!! read more

First meal in Provincetown and we were absolutely starving. The hotdog was good, crispy snap texture when you bite into it and juicy on the inside. The bun was also nice and toasted. We asked for the fries extra crispy and I felt like they came out perfect. We got a large portion of fries that fills up like 1/3-1/2 the box! We also got the grilled chicken sandwich which was pretty solid but nothing extraordinary. There's a self serve condiment bar where you can grab dill pickles, onions, relish, ketchup, and mustard. The service was pretty fast and there's an easy parking lot right next door. read more

There was a long line here for dinner so we were spontaneous and decided to get some takeout food to enjoy on our patio. This was amazing! For $44, we shared a clam chowder soup, chicken wings with fries, fries clam strips with fries, and fried dough for dessert. Everything was packaged nicely and we even had extra leftovers for the next day..... Would highly recommend this place for a bang for your buck, although I definitely had better clam chowders (not to say this one was bad, but it was thicker than I was used to). read more

Back to Cape Cod for a few days, and had to have fried clams at John's foot long. They were crisp, flavorful, and just perfect. French fries were crispy and great. I also got a foot-long hotdog as an accompaniment. It was juicy, and really enjoyable on the crispy, buttered roll. This place never disappoints. Portions are generous. Very yummy! read more

Here, on vacation, biking through the streets of Provincetown! Of course, I made my usual stop at John's Footlong - - ordered a delicious clam strip roll to enjoy while overlooking the seals and seagulls and scenery in the pier! Delicious food and always helpful courteous service. read more

Seasonal place... some of the best quick food around! Service is Wonderful. Food is very fresh and is hot! Great place to grab something quick (clams and hot dogs) look forward to every spring when they reopen! read more

A good quick meal and the quality is very consistent. Very affordable and even offers a few upstairs dining tables under the umbrellas.

Stopped here on vacation and it was one of the few places open in the off season. Loved the flavor of the hot dog and the bun it came in but the fries were a little cold and hard. Pretty central location and right off the water. The service was also very friendly and welcoming! read more

John's Footlong - Hot dog, fries - Fish & Chips Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Lol this was dinner in P town because everybody else was booked to the hilt for the day. And it was surprisingly good! I had a burger, and I had to try their Portuguese Rice because what an incredibly random thing for a burger stand to have. Turns, out it was really good and the burger wasn't half bad either. Service was quick and the price was right. This is an underrated little place, but I suppose it makes sense in P town where the space is limited. You have to be good to survive in the city! I liked it, you will too! Good for lunch or dinner or maybe a light snack. Try the rice, it's random and it's good. read more

Btw I almost forgot to review this place. Another overdue review from our trip. We had a quick bite from here while walking around P-town. There's no seat available for anybody, so you order and eat by the water or by any benches right around there, under a tree. Hubby wanted to try their hotdogs and I had some clam belly. Both came out great! Now I know why they brag about this place. I was surprised to see the portion compared to the price but P-town is a tourist attraction, so, no escape. We made a good choice trying this famous place. Awesome snacks! read more

Ordered the foot long hotdog for $6 to take to the beach. Also tried their onion wings for 8.99. Not the best tasting food by its a good grab and go type of food to take for the road or to the beach. read more

Ordered fish and chips. Horrible Mistake. 4 very thin tasteless pieces and half way decent fries. Skip the fish and chips here. Too many better places in town. read more

Never Disappoints Probably my favorite take out restaurant in Provincetown. Best fried clams anywhere. Love the Kale soup as well.

They were somehow severely understaffed for being in the off season. We were in line forever to order and then took awhile for the food to come out. HOWEVER it was worth the wait. That lobster roll was probably one of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend, even if there is a line read more

Haven't been to John's in years. Was so craving the fried dough. First day I had it. Beyond yummy and perfect. Went back another day to try the lobster roll. Was good. Only disappointment was, it's served cold. But still good. $28.00 daily market price. I returned before leaving for another fried dough. Unfortunately the second time around wasn't good. Way over cooked. I should have spoke up. Wasted $6.00. Super bummed... fyi cash only. read more

Lobster roll was pretty excellent. What I had was almost all claw meat and when comparing to other lobster rolls I had on our visit to Provincetown, I'm beginning to think that claw meat is the way to go as it's less tough than tail meat. Loaded with fresh claw meat, it rates very high on my list of good lobster rolls. The only draw back is the price of $28. I thought it was expensive until I discovered another place selling them for $35, but those came with fries. Unfortunately due to the cost, I have to limit my lobster roll intake to only two on this trip. I will definitely return here next year. read more

It may not look like it from the outside but this place has an amazing cold lobster roll! It's simply a huge pile of delicious lobster lightly tossed in mayonnaise and crammed in a buttery toasted roll. The best $20 lobster roll I've ever had. read more

Not being a seafood eater, it was good to find a place in Provincetown that's not 95% seafood. I opted for the chicken fingers and fries. They are cooked to order, so expect a little wait for your food. There were six, good sized chunks of chicken breast in the order. More than enough for a meal. Heads up - This is a cash only place. Leave your plastic in your room. read more

John's Footlong - Chicken Fingers and Fries. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Wow! Walking around Provincetown, we needed a quick bite. Fried clams, a footlong, a couple of ice teas and the fried dough for dessert. We ate it all on the benches across the street. It was awesome! The fried clams (while a pricey $30 for the basket with fries, coleslaw and sauces) were perfection. The footlong was another standout, given its nicely toasted bun...they could probably just sell the buns! The fried dough is a simple, but decadent, finish. The counter lady was quite friendly for these parts. ...This was awesome read more

CASH ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know this when I ordered and o had to stumble around looking for a cash machine. The guy at Johns told me it was around the corner and I looked forever not realizing it was built into the wall on the corner. Anyway. Our sprites were flat. So gross. The fires were cold. The lobster roll was really good. The chowda was runny. The lobster roll was good so there's hope you'll enjoy your expense here. Great location. read more

This stand stands on the left as you approach Commercial Street from the pier. Service by the little old lady that tended our window was a bit slow, but the whole fried clams in our order were fat and hot, and the fries crispy and hot and tasty. The coleslaw was pretty standard and pretty good - like KFC in quality, but not in texture (KFC's is in smaller bits), if you'll take that as a compliment. You grab your own ketchup and tartar sauce on the side by pumping some into a little cup you get at the window. When we ordered, a whole fried clam plate with fries and cole slaw was about $22 plus change. There were a few tables upstairs for the convenience of their customers. We took one of the tables with an umbrella attached. The tables are a little close to one another, but it is a nice option. read more

John's Footlong - Fried Whole Clams with fries and coleslaw (8/09) - Fish & Chips Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Definitely the best lobster roll I have tasted in Massachusetts. I still think Maine has better ones but this one is tasty and they don't skimp on the lobster. If they worked on the roll itself, it could be that much better. The cheesy fries were also equally delicious and although it is not the traditional side for a lobster roll, I enjoyed them very much. The customer service is also great but do note that this is a cash only establishment! read more

Great spot to grab a quick bite if you don't want a sit down spot. After a week of lobster and lobster rolls (which were great), a simple hot dog hit the spot! And, it is hard to find a meal here under $20! Both the foot long hot dog and regular hot dog comes on a yummy toasted New England style bun! read more

One of the first restaurants that you come across when you get off the ferry. Stopped by for a snack and got fried clams. The food was hot, fresh, and made to order - all important when ordering fried seafood! Would certainly recommend this place for a quick bite to eat. We sat on benches across from the shop and I am unsure if they have restaurant seating. Important note: CASH ONLY!! read more

LOVE this place! Always tasty and the staff is pleasant. Nothing like spoiling yourself with a footlong every once in awhile!

Glad we found this place by accident. Quick service. The hot, fresh, and made to order fried clam bellies were delicious. There's a hint of sweetness. Cash only. Best meal/snack out of the all the places we tried in Provincetown. read more

We enjoyed our lunch before our whale watching trip so much we came back after for a 2nd visit after. My thoughts on the different items we ordered today: Footlong hotdog: it's just a good, unusually long hotdog. Nothing too fancy here IMO but I can appreciate the option for a non-seafood meal that's under $10. Fried clam strips: SO GOOD. Love how crispy they are. Fish sandwich: Actually really like that this is a simple sandwich. The fish tasted fresh, and wasn't overly breaded or fried. Lobster roll: one of the best rolls I've had. It's on the smaller side but they really do pack on the lobster meat. Good toasty bun. Tuna salad roll: comes on the same type bun as the lobster roll. Tasted great. Tips: There's nice outdoor seating upstairs, but there's only a handful of tables. Cash only. read more

We were in search of the best lobster roll in town. Love Canteens and was directed to John's Footlong. The local ladies who work here are so nice. The friendly vibe was most welcomed. I asked if the lobster meat was fresh or frozen. I was assured it was fresh. We ordered it undressed. The portion size was ample but the meat was spongy and a bit wet indicating it was most likely frozen. The meat also lacked flavor. Pass on John's for lobster roll. It would likely be a great spot for a hot dog? The upper deck area looks like a fun place to dine. SUPER nice staff, efficient service. read more

Everything you would expect from a window service restaurant. But waaaay better! My scallop roll was perfectly cooked and was plenty to fill my belly. The staff was friendly and hard working! read more

I'm a lobster roll aficionado and I give the lobster roll an A. It's very simple with lobster meat, a little mayo, and good leaf lettuce. It is a small roll but then again it's cheap (as lobster rolls go). And it's a Maine style cold lobster roll. None of this Connecticut hot buttered bullshit. The French fries very very ordinary. So they lose a star read more

Still a great spot for a quick snack. Usually go for a footlong or a regular dog. Never disappointed. Service is fast and friendly.
