The Knack is a wonderful quick serve spot for lobster rolls, burgers, hot dogs, and chicken…read moresandwiches in Hyannis. The set up is almost that of a Shake Shack, where you order upon entering, and pick up the food from an adjacent area once it's ready. The interiors did seem a bit spartan to me, but was functional enough for grabbing a quick meal, and staff seemed to do a decent job of keeping tables clean. We ordered a chicken sandwich, a hot dog, a veggie burger, and a side of fries. While the food (4.5/5) wasn't gourmet by any means, it was just about as good as you can get for a fast casual place, and a few steps better in quality than your typical fast food chains. While the meal wasn't cheap, prices were in line with what it takes for a small business of this type to survive in Cape Cod, which relies heavily on seasonal tourism. Overall, The Knack was just what we were looking for with a quick and decent quality lunch, and we would gladly return here for a meal during future visits to Cape Cod.

This is my first visit and the first time I ever heard of Knack. I wasn't too exotic on what I…read moreordered. Chocolate milkshake and a hamburger. I was absolutely in heaven. Best burger from a "fast food "place that I've had in forever. The shake was on point. The girl at the service counter was incredible also. Big smile on her face and she actually remembered her names. That was a huge surprise. I wish I remembered her name so I could give her a shout out. It is a very nice layout. Amazingly comfortable with a little fireplace and relaxing area in the back. Nothing cramped at all. If I lived close to here, this would be my new favorite place to go.

However, the restaurant is very large so there are a lot of seating options. I visited with a group of seven and we waited around 40 minutes on a Saturday night. We were able to sit/stand around one of the bars and have a drink while we waited and we had great service at the bar and later at our table. We really enjoyed the fisherman's platter, clams casino, shrimp bruschetta. Some of my friends tried the risotto, but I found it a bit bland and preferred the other items. It seems like a great spot for families and groups.

While trying things on the menu I was happy to pick the shrimp tacos. They were perfectly cooked with pico, cotija cheese, and siracha aioli. The crust on the batter was flaky and light. Not a heavy batter and it didn't overpower the flavor of the shrimp. The shrimp tacos are not gluten free and they have a minimal amount of gluten-free options available. Most of their sandwiches have a gluten-free roll available for an extra two dollars. If you have a severe gluten allergy/ celiac disease, I probably would not risk most of the menu items. Thankfully, we were also able to order a rice bowl with plain swordfish and had no allergy related side effects afterwards. The kids menu is also great for options for littles while dining here. The view is nice, crowded if you're seated outdoors but the staff is awesome which makes it feel more like you're going to a friends house to eat. I'd come here again for drinks on the patio as their drink menu looked so good. A great stop for an outdoor lunch or quick stop with friends.

This is a really appealing, intimate, mom and pop (and summer help waitress) place. The hostess/ front of house boss, who was operating from the bar of this 10-12 table location, was gracious and endearing (in the way that an almost overbearing host can be- that meant as a compliment). The drinks took a minute, my fiancé's salad needed blue cheese brought out as it was left off (single most off-putting thing: the waitress, I suspect language mastery being the cause of this rather than malice or willful deceit, flat out told her that blue cheese did not come with the wedge salad...but when boss lady at the bar was asked, this was quickly corrected), there was a heavy does of reggae music. All of this less than optimal. The food was very good, though I can't remember off the top of my head what I had (it's been a month). Nor did I take pics: it seemed like it'd detract from the experience. There weren't any complaints about the food from others. (So I went back and looked at the menu: potstickers as an app- pretty good; baked local seafood as the main- good, but it is what it is in that not a ton of nuance added so as to let the seafood do the talking. The portion was decent for the price. I didn't leave stuffed, but for $38, very reasonable.) All in all, the first visit merits a second visit next year (as the website says they are temporarily closed to seek new management).

For starters we got the Honey Sriracha Brussel Sprouts which were amazing, super flavorful and garnished with seeds adding a nice contrast texture to the dish. We also got some of the Sweet Chili wings, nice meaty pieces , sweet and savory in equal portions. The crown jewel of my experience was the OG Smash Burger, a delectable double dose of two patties, under a blanket of sharp cheddar , topped off with red onions , lettuce tomato and house mayo . You can choose between regular or Truffle fries, I got the latter and found them rich and crispy just as I wanted. Our server was wonderful and attentive . The inside is hip with some very cool nautical themed art, an amazing Kraken mural adorns the main wall , perhaps guarding this place -which won't be a secret much longer!

We had a few…read moredisappointing experiences at other restaurants on the Cape, so we ended up coming back here two or three times throughout our trip because it was just so consistent. The hot dogs are pretty good. They're nothing completely out of this world, but they're definitely worth trying. We ordered the Glendon Beach Dog, the Sonoran Dog, and the West Dennis Dog, and the Glendon Beach Dog was by far our favorite. The real star of the menu, though, was the Dirty Fries. They are absolutely gigantic and so worth the price. Honestly, for Cape Cod, the prices here are actually pretty reasonable, which I really appreciated. Another thing I really appreciated was that they accommodated us even though we showed up about 10 minutes before closing. The service was awesome, and they were still incredibly welcoming. They also have a really cute outdoor seating area that adds to the whole experience. And I have to mention the lemonade because it was SO good. It was incredibly tart, sour, and refreshing, which is exactly how I like my lemonade. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area or visiting the Cape. We kept coming back for a reason.

My first glass of vinho verde wine was served at room temperature (the second was fine), and the side plate I was given was crusted with dried food residue. I also watched an employee behind the bar wipe her nose with her hand and then continue slicing citrus barehanded. The chicken empanadas were good but not particularly special. We also had one of the small pizzas, which was the best thing of the night, crispy and flavorful (with a little char at the edges, which we like). The decor is a little bananas (different shades of green between the walls, the napkins, the barstools, and the banquettes; five kinds of lighting fixtures; lots of sound and lighting items with exposed, hasty-looking wiring). The bathroom door doesn't really close and lock properly. And the restaurant is really loud, even half full. The writing on the menu, about family members and special recipes, tells me that there's pride here and real care about making a good restaurant. However, without the attention to detail (particularly cleanliness and hygiene!), that's kind of moot. Three stars instead of two here because the pizza was good and the staff obviously care about customers.
