    Clam strips, fish sandwich, crab cake sandwich
    Jennifer D.

    Sitting by the water is always a 10! Picnic tables so fun. Fish sandwich, lobby roll, crab cake sandwich, poke bowl. All 4/5 but crab. Very small. Overwhelmed by the bread. Not much flavor. Clam strips were yum, though

    It's was delicious. Great view. I didn't get utensils so a little hard to eat - didn't go ask line was too long. I understand that the Mac's Shack is great.

    clam strips roll, side of fries

    This is where I go when the crowds are too big at other restaurants. It's fast and it's reasonably good. It's great to sit outside and see the beach. I've gone about four or five times in the past 10 days. Once I ended up with a burrito when I ordered a quesadilla, and yesterday they ran out of diet Coke (really?). Their chicken quesadilla with refried beans is pretty damn good. Clam strips are ok, you can find better at PJs or the Beachcomber. It's a very good place to bring children. There are plenty of other children around and no one is disturbed. If I really wanted a great meal, I would not come here with all the other choices in Wellfleet. But I do come here when I'm hungry and I don't want to wait. The ice cream is always a good choice.

    I ordered the fried calamari. It was a lot flakier than usual and it was a bit hard to eat without accidentally inhaling a flake but the dish was great. I don't love how it was served with marinara sauce but it doesn't hurt the dish. I really loved sitting outside by the beach and enjoying my appetizer with a coke. It was delicious and the view was beautiful. I also appreciate how they allow dogs.

    Onion rings, Grilled Shrimp Burrito & 2 Fried Fish Burritos...
    Patrick R.

    This place is located at on the pier (like the name says) and there is plenty of parking, which is needed. When we pulled up there was a line of 15+ people ordering at the food side-the other side is ice cream, which had no line. Plenty of time to study the menu... we ordered the small onion rings, which were perfectly battered and fried. 1 grilled shrimp burrito and 2 fried fresh fish burritos. The burritos have a good size, and were filled with Spanish rice, refried beans (you could choose black beans instead) house made salsa, Monterey Jack cheese, and sour cream. The first bite was warm the fish, rice, refried beans, and the melted cheese. The second bite was fresh and cool... salsa. I loved it the way it was wrapped, one side warm and the other side cool and fresh, the perfect combination with some Tabasco on the middle. Definitely a good burrito... I was able to get a bite from the grilled shrimp burrito, and that one was great too! There is plenty of seating outside or you can sit also in the covered area with large picnic tables.

    Small portions, smell of diesel fuel, loads of pigeons, 45 minute wait for food. Much better options

Quite a variety on hand that we don't have back home. Note: The accents are thick. If you have questions about what some of the foods are, good luck. But it's worth it. I was torn between jerk pork and stewed peas. With pig tails! and beef, that was the winner. I love how the server started to ladle in the rice and beans, and then stopped herself because they are so used to serving locals / Carribean natives, they are used to a certain homestyle way of serving things. No no, I made sure they served exactly the way they would make it for their own people. And grabbed some rum cake and sweet potato pudding (with raisins!) on the way out. How good are those? Well shut my mouth (if you get the reference). Brought it home, unpacked, demolished. What a delicious meal. I just got a medium and that was enough for my large appetite. A large would be for two people or to have leftovers for another day. The pig tails had bones so I had to pick those with my hands (whee!), and there were a couple of stewed white yams lurking in there as well. I also note that a majority of the building is a grocery store with all sorts of ethnic goods, if you want to try cooking for yourself or for a taste of the islands all the way up here on the Cape. I call this "cafe" a hidden local gem that deserves more attention from y'all.

    When it comes to living the satisfying life, I find that indulging in novel cuisine always curbs my…read morepalate. I could already tell that the restaurant knew what it wanted to be when I saw the wall at the left-hand side of the dining room: a mural of a hillside town, lounging cozily between day and night against the crash of the sea. The saturated, uniform hues of the plates also helped establish a faraway yet subdued atmosphere, never once jumping on its high horse to establish excellence. I felt this time that going for a $25-$30-something main dish was too filling for lunch, so I considered myself lucky when I saw that the appetizer menu had several cultural highlights, chiefly the Jamaican peanuts and the jibarito sandwich. It's safe to say I'm not ashamed of either of these choices. The peanuts combined a familiar grainy sweetness with a gentle dollop of spice, topped with a roasted texture that let it melt in my mouth like never before. That's the bee's knees! The jibarito was nice. The messiness of the sandwich made it more appealing, in my opinion. The fact that it was arranged between two giant slices of fried plantain instead of bread gave me a heads-up that this was not just a tried-and-true Caribbean flavor, it was a meal made from the heart. *Crick* *Cruuuunch* Speaking of heart, the staff did a fair job of making our meal memorable. Kindness was a priority when it came to my experience. They didn't mind letting us wait for a guest who was ten minutes late. While the second helping took a bit longer than anticipated despite the venue not being crowded (my party was pressed for time that day), the end result was lovely. If one wishes to demonstrate style in their restaurant, then they ought to combine it with just as much substance; that's what I got during my visit.

    We came here on a weeknight around 8pm and they weren't very busy, we were seated right away. They…read morehave some great patio seating but we opted for inside since it was getting a little cool outside. We came as a group of 5 and all of us got a drink, they had some fun options that came in unique glasses with cute decorations! They even have some non-alcoholic mocktails on their menu. We thought the food was just okay, we were hoping for a better experience with the seafood in particular since we were right by the water. I did get a small cup of clam chowder which was quite good. I had the cajun mahi tacos as my entree and that was only decent at best. The mahi had really good cajun flavoring, I wish that taste would've been the main focus but it was overshadowed by the mango salsa and other toppings. The tacos came with tons of fries, they were perfect crinkle fries! My husband got the fish and chips, the fish wasn't as good as he was hoping for. The biggest downfall was the waitress coming out to tell us that she completely forgot to put in my friend's food order; she told us this after the rest of us got our food. The restaurant was not busy at all...how do you just forget? Very odd. She still put the order in right then, and we waited another 20-30 mins to get that entree brought out to us in a togo box. While they did give my friend her drink for free, they still charged us for that entree that was completely forgotten about and then brought out extremely late after everyone else had finished eating. She didn't even get to eat with us, it was after 9pm by the time we got it and it was time to go. That meal should've been given to her free of charge since it was their big mistake. Despite the very poor service, an automatic gratuity of 20% was already added to our bill since we were a group of 5. The service certainly did not deserve a 20% tip. I'll still give 3 stars since we did like some of the food and they had fun drinks, but I think it's more of a 2.5 if I could give half ratings--mostly because of the service.
