This place never disappoints and is my go-to place for a whole big lobster (1.5-2lbs). You can get it with a New England clambake but I don't recommend it - the clams are very sandy! Just stick with the lobstah and asked for it pre-cracked. All the staff are super friendly!! Don't miss out on Moby Dick's Cargo gift shop next door. read more

Moby Dick's - Lobster and clam bake - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

The steamers here were clean, fresh, tender, and reasonably priced. They alone are worth a visit. The kabobs are on the pricier side, but they're served in decent portions, well-seasoned, and a great option if you're looking for something lighter yet still satisfying. We tried the fish, shrimp, and the steak kabobs, and everything was cooked well and great flavor. The jumbo lobster roll, however, felt a bit overpriced for what it delivered. While it was generous in size, it lacked a bit of flavor compared to expectations at that price point. Overall, a good experience but I'd say skip the lobster roll. read more

Moby Dick's is one of my favorite lunch spots on Cape. I always come here for the lobster, and it never disappoints. It's been a family favorite for decades, and every visit brings back great memories. A true Cape Cod classic with delicious seafood and a great atmosphere. read more

We had a great meal at Moby's this season. It's nice to see that some things don't change, in terms of the quality of the food and the comfortable casualness of the upstairs dining area. The service was even better than I remembered it, the servers were fast and attentive. It was fun bringing some west coast family members there who had never been to the cape before. read more

I had the shrimp and scallops each on a stick with baked potato and an ear of corn. Great food. It's BYOB. Service was great. Staff kept checking on us throughout our meal. Interior seating was very old fashion Cape Cod with picnic tables in a large airy room. My companions had the fish & chips and we all had delicious clam chowder. Can't wait to go again. read more

Friendly service, excellent chowdah and lobster, and the best sweet corn I've eaten in a loooong time. Not fancy, great for family dining. Everyone else was raving about the corn too! read more

We both ordered the Cape Cod salad - a fresh and delicious mix of mesclun greens, candied pecans, sweet dried cranberries, bleu cheese, pear slices, with raspberry vinaigrette on the side. We added scallops as a protein( grilled to perfection, sweet and delicious) and a side of corn on the cob. We sat inside and enjoyed, as ever, the historic Cape Cod maritime decor. The service was, as expected, prompt and congenial. We've been coming here every summer for forty years, and happy to say that we are as welcome and well fed as ever. read more

Great, informal dining experience, lots of families having a great time. If the hustle and bustle bothers you, maybe try a quieter place.I'm

Great service and host helped me get in my single order before the large group that arrived about the same time. Food was good, service was excellent and opted to sit outside as indoors was full of families enjoying themselves (so it was loud). Perfect stop on my way west read more

Always love Moby's ! We were a little sad today because we all ordered whole clam rolls and although they were good they were not as great as usual. Whoever cooked them over fried them. They were rather dark and more crunchy than normal. I hope this review gives the owners a heads up to make sure their kitchen staff knows not to overcook food. read more

Was passing by and decided to grab something to eat and came across this restaurant. Host greeted me, gave menus and quickly ushered me through the ordering process (ahead of a large group that was about to order...which I appreciated). Seating area was noisy with a lot of larger groups/families so I opted to sit outside which was peaceful and largely unseated due to overcast weather. Drink and food quickly arrived. Lobster Roll was good...all meat with little dressing/mayo...and was quite a bit of lobster meat. Every staff member was friendly, helpful and very pleasant. Worth the stop and next time would try other items off the large and varied menu. read more

Wow! Fresh seafood galore! Clean! Spacious and priced right. Walk up to the counter and order. Great service, great food. Get there early to place packs! Super clean. Get your oil changed in - they fry clean and good! read more

Moby Dick's is a great spot for family seafood dinners with ample seating both inside and out. Sometimes, there can be a long wait, but that reflects their popularity. Their lobster dinners are always decent, and they offer a nice option to include clams and corn as a boil. One of our lobster dinners included a tail full of eggs, which the waitress was quick to bring back to the kitchen to be cleaned. The lobster roll is just okay here, if comparing to other restaurants on the Cape. We did also have someone in our group order the fish sandwich, which was a relatively small portion. Our favorite dish was the mussels in white wine, which is outstanding. The broth it comes in is absolutely delicious, and needs extra bread to soak it all up! read more

I had the broiled codfish sandwich. The fish was really good but the bun could not hold up to the juice from the fish. I ended up eating the fish and the bread separately. The fish was really juicy and tender. I liked it a lot. The French fries were good but needed some salt. After I added salt they were really good. The service was good. They kept my water glass full. They were very nice. I did think that it was priced pretty high for the type of fish and the amount of fish I got. read more

I've always wanted to try this place, we drive by it all the time on our way to Provincetown. We are locals but live a few towns over so it's not always at the top of our minds. We were recently invited by friends to join them for dinner at Moby Dicks and we accepted, excited to try it. I have to say it has been the single most impressive visit I have ever had on Cape Cod. All these years, who knew! I've eaten at Lobster Pot, CBI, the Wequassett, the Wayside, Pelham House and several other top restaurants on this peninsula and none of them have left me feeling like Moby Dicks. From the moment I pulled into the parking lot that was chock full of cars and was assisted with parking my car by a very nice young man to standing in line and being offered fresh tasty watermelon while I waited to the young woman who came around and collected our watermelon rinds to the unbelievably nice staff who kept checking on us during out meal. Who does all this these days? Speaking to the staff, I became aware of their accents. They are from all over the world...Croatia, North Africa and so many more far away places. They spoke very highly of the restaurant's owners and actually said they loved working there. This is a win win situation folks. The staff is happy which encourages them to show up for work - unlike so many places these days. This makes the bosses happy which trickles down to the customer who ends up with the best part of the deal...great food at reasonable prices and a hell of a staff to serve you! I don't do reviews but felt propelled to leave this one. Kudos to you Moby Dicks for making families, friends, couples, etc have one of the best nights of their Summer! Oh BTW, I had the blackened swordfish, my boyfriend had the whole belly clams and our friends had the captain's plate and the kabobs - all of it was fabulous and cooked perfectly. Did I mention it is BYOB? Oh yeah it is :) Don't miss it - Have a great time! read more

I've been coming to the cape my whole life and had never experienced Moby Dicks, but was pleasantly surprised! Just like most seafood shacks down the cape you wait in line to outside to order at the counter, then chose where you want to sit. This is a BYOB establishment also which I found to be really cool. The menu had some really great items, but I opted for the 1.5lb lobster at MKT price. So good and had lots of meat! My friends enjoyed their picks as well! We got a half dozen oysters and you could just tell how fresh they were! Service was pleasant, the staff were all really friendly! Give it a try! read more

We would probably give a 4.5 if we had the option. Were told the shrimp were fresh then later told they come from the Gulf of Mexico. We found the process to get inside the restaurant to order a very rigid system for ordering . Stand here. Wait here. Now enter but stand here. Like Disney world Moving you from one location to the next. Then when you order. What's your name? Where will you sit? Did love the open air indoor outdoor seating. Very casual atmosphere in contrast to the rigidness of the system to order. Like the byob and the fact they provide the ice bucket for wine bottles. Do not recommend the lobster bisque due to the fact we found very little if any pieces of lobster although that maybe the reason the bowl Is only 11$ read more

My expectations were exceeded! The hype around Moby Dick's is real. The greeter and our server were very friendly, and our food was brought out incredibly quickly (~5-10 min after ordering). I'm so impressed with the food- we all got codfish, all broiled/ fried beautifully. The fry on the fish and chips is the most delicate/light I've ever seen, not crispy though if that's your thing. The bacon blue salad was SO good, a perfect appetizer for 3 people. Portions are huge but light. My one critique is that the fries were slightly understated and a bit inconsistent (crunchy vs soggy) but that's not an issue for me, and that the bun on my sandwich got soggy quickly (probably because of my lemon and the fish juices). 100% will return the next time I'm on the cape! read more

Moby Dick's - Lobster rolls (jumbo) - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

We were greeted with a smile and a menu while in line. It's BYOB and they provide wine glasses or ice if needed. Super friendly and accommodating. You must order before you can select your seating as courtesy for other patrons. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The owner comes around to chat and answer any questions you may have about the menu. We ordered shrimp cocktail for starters. Jumbo lobster roll and cheeseburger. They were very accommodating for folks with seafood allergies. Everything was delicious while also being served quickly. We brought our beverages of choice and they provided the ice. Very clean restaurant as well. And adequate parking. We will return. read more

Greeted with a smile and warm welcome by Todd, the owner, whose personable style set the tone for our experience. The staff reflected the owner's style, warm, confident and conscientious. The food met the standards set by the owner and staff. A clean operation, allowing for dining in a pleasant atmosphere, indoors and out. On every level, a cut above your standard family/dog friendly vacation seafood operation. You won't be disappointed. read more

Service was great. Lobster was awesome and well priced. Only complaint is butter is not salted, but I just added table salt to it. Very polite staff, the owner even came by to check on all the tables which was really nice to see. read more

We were looking for an authentic NewEngland seafood meal while on Cape Cod and Moby Dick's did not disappoint! The cod fish & chips were excellent! The cod was flaky and the breading light. The cole slaw was cream and perfectly seasoned! Even though we ordered at the counter, the staff was attentive and checked on us frequently. Even the owner stopped by to see how our meal was. She even stepped outside when we were leaving to ask how everything was and to wish us well. Highly recommend! read more

They are opened for the season! My hubby and I stopped by for a late lunch and were not disappointed! I had the fried scallop roll with cheese and bacon that was delicious. Scallops were not breaded, mozzarella cheese and large pieces of bacon on a soft sub roll served with a large amount of fries. Husband had the garlic and butter mussels; came with soft Italian bread for dipping. Mussels were on the large side and really good. Definitely will be back when we are in the neighborhood. read more

An older couple asked us to take a picture of them at a lighthouse on Cape Cod. Then when we had a brief conversation with them, they told us about this place and said it is the best restaurant on Cape Cod. That is debatable, but we thought we'd give it a try after exploring the coastal area around Princeville. The process is unique. You go inside to peruse the menu, order, pay and then select a seating area. We chose to sit inside in a quiet area of the restaurant. Fairly quickly a server brought out the oysters we had ordered. They were quite good. Shortly after that our main course was brought out. We both ordered the jumbo lobster rolls with coke slaw and fries. We also ordered a side of broccoli to get some vegetables into our meal. The food was quite good. The lobster in the roll was very plentiful. We met the owner Todd, who appreciated our compliments about his restaurant. It is obvious that he keeps a close eye on everything going on in his place. For a quick reference from an older couple, we ended up with a terrific experience. read more

As a former Massachusetts resident who now lives in Texas, there's a lot of things that I really miss. One of those things is fried Clams, the whole clam (minus the shell of course). For me, this place was one of the best ever for fried clams. I wish that I was staying longer on The Cape because their menu is freaking amazing. It's a really cool place to get your seafood fix. For one thing, they really have their act together with a great staff, skilled, attentive management including the owner watching every aspect of the operation. When you go there, don't be put off by the line, it moves quickly. You can also bring your own libations. Anyway, the four adults enjoyed our fried clams and the young member of our crew had two hot dogs that he devoured. I hope that we can return again. read more

Busy during the summer season, expect long lines. They are efficient at moving the queue along, and taking payment before you get your food. The food is typical simple, seafood dishes you would expect on Cape Cod. Unfortunately, when it's busy, the food is not necessarily delivered hot because of the delay from the kitchen to getting table delivery. The restaurant is popular for decades, and in season they have an assistant out in the parking lot directing traffic. read more

This place was great! Lil bit of a line and then it was a bit odd because you order at the counter. I had the blackened swordfish, and it was amazing! Everyone in my party was very pleased with their entrees as well as their starters. My friends raved about the oysters and lobster bisque. The staff were attentive and courteous. They're known to have people from all over the world, which is a nice touch. The atmosphere was also nice, and casual. It felt like quintessential Cape Cod. read more

Excellent staff, polite and VERY attentive, the training program here yielding tangible results. Interesting decor where ever you look, great little gift shop next door that is part of the restaurant. Bring your own, Moby's will provide ice bucks which is a step above. Fair food prices on freshest seafood. Had the fried scallop plate, was so good we came back a few days later, no need to hunt down another restaurant. If you love horseradish then make sure to ask for some and mix into your ketchup to make your own level of spicy cocktail sauce. Owner came over to check on us which was nice, family owned. Over all recommended. Dogs welcome it seems. read more

Came here with a group of 5 for dinner. I am happy to report that it's BYOB here. They even provided a nice bucket with ice to keep our drinks nice and cool while we waited. A hostess will ask if you want to sit outside or inside based on availability and your party size. Once you are inside you order and pay at the counter. They bring food out to your table. We ordered clam chowders, fish and chips, and oysters. The oysters were delicious! Clam chowder and fish and chips were okay. We really enjoyed our time and meal here. It was no frills, but perfect for larger groups and families. There were many tables outside and indoors they had long tables with benches. read more

Alright, man, check it out! So, we cruised into this joint, right? It's like 5:30, and the line is so long, it's spilling out onto the street, man! But hey, we ain't worried, 'cause we called ahead, and they said it'd only be, like, 20-25 minutes. And guess what? Their estimate was, like, right on the money, man! Now, this place is different, you dig? After you wait in line, the next move is to order and pay up front. Then, they get on their little walkie talkies, talking to people in other rooms, trying to find you a table. It's like they're secret agents or something, man! And when your grub is ready, they bring it straight to you. Talk about efficiency, dude! But hey, don't think they don't have wait staff, 'cause they do! There are several cats in there making sure your every need is taken care of while you chow down. They got your back, man! And here's the kicker, dude! It's BYOB, man! Bring your own beer or wine, and you're good to go. I can drink premium craft beer that most restaurants don't even know exists. They even hook you up with a bucket, ice, and cups for your drinks. It's like a party in your mouth, man! So, I was jonesin' for some righteous oysters, you know? And what better place than Wellfleet for some Wellfleet oysters, man? That was my starter--12 of those little suckers. Then, I went for some littleneck clams and mussels with the Nantucket Steamer bucket. And to round out my epic feast, I ordered some grilled scallops, man! It was all outta sight, brother! Those oysters were, like, the best I've ever had, and believe me, I've had my fair share. The clams and mussels came in this huge bucket, and the scallops were like a main course all by themselves. They were all so incredibly delicious, man! Now, here's the buzzkill, man. They don't have much for the non-seafood eaters, you know? I mean, my old lady, she ain't into seafood, and all they had for her were these over-charred burgers and frozen chicken fingers. It just didn't cut it, you know what I'm saying? She wasn't a happy camper. But hey, for a seafood joint, this place was totally awesome, man! It's like swimming in a sea of flavor, dude! read more
