    portuguese fish, lobster salad roll, clam chowder
    Jason W.

    Davey & co KILLIN` it out here... we stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for clam chowder, lobster roll and "Portuguese fish." All really good stuff, but that third one was the consummate meal. Faro-orzo blend is good stuff, and a really nice piece of fish stuffed with some mix of scallop and herbs and something called linguica. (Portuguese sausage?) All in all - bitchin` food combined with really great service. Davey is a gracious host, protect that man at all costs.

    Dog friendly and egg roll was great !

    Clam chowder is amazing and the Jamaican food was a nice option and addition. Didn't have to wait like some other places and still got great food!

    I love places like this! Not only was our food and drink's phenomenal, but the service and friendliness we experienced was super refreshing on our first trip to this area. Mo (Maureen) was our server and bartender. Not only were our drinks perfection, but she overheard me say my phone's battery was low and she offered to charge my phone for me. Who does that anymore! I recommend this place wholeheartedly and would love to go back again!

    We had just left Nauset Beach and was hungry for lunch. Sure enough tge Lobster & Chowder house popped up right as we were leaving the area. We placed our order at the bar and sat down at one of the picnic tables inside. We ordered a clam chowder and lobster tacos. They came in a timely manner , the soup was pretty good needs more clams and potatoes and could be a little thicker. The lobster tacos were quite large looking (2 of them) and appeared to be overflowing with lobster but underneath was their coleslaw that was dripping all over. I would prefer it on the side. I would go back but maybe get something else.

    Cheapest lobster roll we could find in the area - a BLT lobster roll. IT WAS THE BEST SANDWICH IVE EVER HAD. After a day on the cape it's the perfect, chill spot to come with your family or alone to get some good eats and vibes. Everybody there was nice too. 10/10

    ***This review is for my experience with the hot lobster roll (warm + butter, NOT the cold lobster salad roll)*** The Lobster and Chowder House is a roadside seafood shack with a enclosed bar/patio area if you want to sit down and enjoy your food and drink vs. a "grab-n-go" experience. It's not fancy and it's not intended to be that sort of an experience, it's a no-frills place to get some really fresh food along the main drive to Provincetown. The chowder was a little thicker than I usually like, but the clams and ingredients were fresh and treated with respect that come together in an above average package. The hot lobster roll was everything that my wife hoped it would be: a buttered and griddled brown, split-top bun, with just slightly warmed lobster meat (primarily claw and knuckle meat, large chunks of vs. the shredded sorts you can find) and a side of clarified butter. No frills again, just really high quality ingredients that are treated with respect, served with the finesse of someone who has done this a few thousand times before. Was it the best meal, seafood, or lobster roll I ever had? No. Were we disappointed with what we got for the price point? No. Did it 100% satisfy us and give us what we were looking for? Yes. I would definitely go back on a drive to PTown again or as I was passing through, but I already had my expectations set before I stepped up to the ordering window. It's great for what it is, but doesn't pretend to be what it's not - and I appreciate and applaud them for that.

    Hot Lobster roll and truffle fries!

    Perfect stop for a lobster roll and chowder! Service was great, fun roadside atmosphere, clean and upbeat! The food was delicious! Absolutely recommend!

    My family visits Cape Cod every year and this was our first time trying the Lobster & Chowder house. The clam chowder had great flavor, although it could have used some more clams. We all ordered different variations of lobster rolls which were all delicious! The service was great as well. We will certainly come again.

    Rainy Spring day on Cape Cod went for a ride down to p-town saw the sign driving by, we both wanted lobster and chowder stopped in. Friendly bartender tasty but expensive drinks for sitting in a very casual Gravel floor "patio" . my honey ordered large bowl "served in decent size paper cup" of clam chowder, consisted of a few quarter inch cubes of potato the hint of lobster and some evaporated milk maybe.. Then the scary part, before she served, the. Styrofoam to go container of fish and chips, I was sitting at the bar, the smell up very old fish became nauseating obvious. I said wow how old is that fish? As smell continue to increase, I refused it, before she even opened the styrofoam container. the bartender then took it to another guest in the restaurant and requested their opinion apparently in a effort to embarrass me.. or a second opinion ???? Two stars one for being an old-fashioned Cape Cod roadside clam shack and one star for a untrained server was trying to do her best.

    In a word - yes. Get the famous P Town destination's food without going past Wellfleet. Get the lobster BLT. You're welcome.

Apparently, the owner wanted to re-focus on that part of the business. *shrug* I used to come here around opening and see a lengthy line. The croissants are some of the best in the area. The plain croissant is flaky and light. The ham & cheese croissant is more of a croque monsieur and it's a pretty substantial offering, full of cheese, ham, and béchamel sauce. The individual tarts (lemon, raspberry, etc.) and cakes are beautifully designed and are appropriately sweet. The tart crusts were legit. I'll miss coming here for pastries/desserts. Maybe I'll try the bistro when it opens, but now I've found a new spot on the Cape for French patisserie and viennoiserie items.

The place is set up like a casual restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. When we walked in they had their radio set on a Christian station praising all kind of Christian ideology for all to hear. When we walked in, the lady behind the counter just looked at us with no welcoming smile nor attitude. I said Good morning and I got a slight smile from her. I then asked if they had any diabetes friendly items on the menu....She said...I don't know what that means ????!???!?! How can you work in a restaurant and not know what diabetes is ??? I then said, items with low sugar content. She still said, I don't know. So I decided to order a salad. Their Basco Salad was described as a bed of fresh greens and a nice Lomo on top. The salad came up fairly quickly and it was delicious. The boneless pork loin was well seasoned and warm. The greens were fresh and well balanced. I liked the food, but the stern long face of the lady as well as her inability (or un-willingness) to help made me drop one star out of my experience.

We ate on the patio on a high top table near a screen window, which was lovely. The biggest advantage over Arnold's is that the joint is BYOB. That's a rare thing in the Cape. The fried cod was flaky, lightly coated, and perfectly fried with an abundant amount of homemade French fries, a roll, and standard fare Cole Slaw. The roll is unnecessary, in my opinion. Missing having onion rings on the menu. Arnold's (and the old Liam's at Nauset Beach) made the best. Condiments are serve-yourself, but you'll have to ask the host for lemon slices. We'll return for fried food but will continue to search other locales. We went back the next night for ice cream and it was just average. $5 for a small scoop in a bowl, we were charged more for a small sundae than what was advertised on the board, and service was very slow. However, the sundae hit the spot and they didn't skimp on the hot fudge and walnuts.
