This has to be one of the weirdest dining experiences ever. First you order and pay at a counter when you walk in then they ask where you want to sit, we opted for the "more intimate" area. Lol I guess when elevator music is playing it's considered intimate even with paper plates, plastic forks and cups. The servers (with their fake English accents) would not stop coming up to our table to ask if we needed anything, and we would say we are just waiting for our dinner, one even came up and asked if we were ready for dessert before we had even been given our lobster! And speaking of lobster, save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Friendly service. Great food and relaxing atmosphere. We ordered Lobster and little neck... oh boy.. the freshness... taste so good the owner showed us how to eat the clams... since it was my first time... I know right way to eat.. it was even better. read more

Food was fresh, well prepared. Ordering system took a second to figure out. Picnic tables/3 and 4 tops. Hard to know about tipping as no specific server. But they share equally. Great experience read more

We loved this spot! Service was fantastic- the staff in general couldn't have been nicer/friendlier. The line moves so quick (10-15min wait) and the inside space is no frills/ local type feel. They also have an adorable gift shop next door! For dinner we weren't too hungry and tried the clam chowder (YUM) - it was seriously delish and the potato pieces were somehow al dente? Not sure how they did that. Yum! We also tried fried calamari- also delish. I would absolutely recommend!!! read more

Stopped here on our way back from P-Town and I'm so glad we did. We were immediately greeted and explained how things worked there. We ordered our food and found a table outside. The place is very clean and seems organized. Our food was incredible. 10/10. Even the kids were impressed. All staff kept checking in to see if everything was okay. We really felt a "family vibe" there and felt almost like we were visiting family if that makes sense. Decided to try the key lime pie for dessert as everyone around us was getting it. So glad we did & I haven't stopped thinking about it since !! Overall everything was great!! We can't wait to go back. read more

This restaurant received 4 and 1/2 "bones" on the "BringFido" app. Extremely kind staff and servers. And the manager came out to thank people (and pups) for choosing to visit. I would have liked to have a little something to order or a special treat for my pup. Everyone was extremely kind. The food is very good, especially the fried whole belly clams and succulent scallops. It's the best seafood I have had while visiting the Cape over the past two weeks. Highly recommend! read more

Fun casual great fried food! Went in our wet swimsuits and sat outside. Short wait and fast service.

First time I tried Moby Dick's. Stopped in during the week in late August. We ordered bowl of chowder, steamers, and lobster rolls. The chowder came out first, as requested, and was hot and very tasty. As we were finishing the chowder, the steamers came out. Truly some of the best steamers I have had. As we finished the steamers, our lobster rolls came out. Perfect timing for each meal! Lobster rolls were great and the staff were friendly and punctual. They checked on us several times and refilled out drinks. We stay in Eastham every summer and will definitely be coming back! read more

We haven't eaten at Moby Dick's for a while because I was thinking that it's so chaotic, but it is going to become a must-visit from now on when we're down in Wellfleet. The parking lot is madness, but they now have kids guiding you where to park. They also created a line that moves quickly to guide people to the front counter to order, so that doesn't feel crazy. It's comfortable. Then after you order, they seat you. So, now I really love this spot. I love the way they're doing that crowd control. And the prices are really good. Food is delicious. We tried the chowders (seafood and clam), the impossible burger, salmon plates, and fish and chips. Everything was delicious. I also love, as I did the first time, that their waitstaff are from all over the world with nametags. I like that you can order dessert from the table too. Great spot! read more

Wow!!! This place never never disappoints. Excellent customer service. Even the owner walks around making sure everyone is getting good service. The food is absolutely amazing. So good and fresh. And they are so accommodating too. I like a hot lobster roll with butter, so i ordered a lobster roll without the mayo and with the butter on the side. It was perfect. Food from heaven!! read more

You ordered yourself and sat anywhere and runners brought food to you. Everyone was super nice, attentive, and friendly, BUT for a seafood place to serve broken clams and sandy steamers is just unacceptable. More of a tourist trap with a gift shop than an actual restaurant. The bloomin onion and salads were good which was surprising considering it really wasn't their specialty. We probably won't be back on next trip to the cape. read more

The options offered at Moby's are enough to leave you full and happy. Coming for the first time, which for us was many years back, requires patience when waiting to be seated. Time matters here and of course other restaurants. Another most important factor is (which I strongly emphasize), someone must place their order before being seated, which is done at the front counter upon entering. The waiter and waitress still operate the same, bringing out the drinks and food when ready. They'll also accommodate refills as well throughout. There are so many decorations to be seen all around pertaining to the Cape, and it's something to admire especially history while eating. read more

Perfect place for lunch. Super friendly service with great food. Stop in and enjoy some delicious food.

Just got a slice of Key Lime Pie as a takeout order. Very small piece of pie. Overly sweet, tastes like it came form supermarket Not a great experience read more

After a beautiful sunset walk on the Great Island Trail off Chequessett Neck Rd, in Wellfleet, we were ready for great local seafood. My wife was looking forward to a chunky lobster roll and my daughter and son both had a hankering for fish and chips, Moby Dick's was an obvious choice as the parking lot always appeared full and it was close to where we were staying. As we approached the restaurant, Lance from Cape Town South Africa welcomed us, explained their dining process and handed us a menu as we waited in the short queue to go inside the restaurant. Once inside, Madison from Mussel Shoals Alabama graciously took our order, provided a recommendation for Fried Dill Pickles and processed our payment. We ordered the Oyster Pesto (i.e. Wellfleet oysters) appetizer, Fried Pickles appetizer, Fish & Chips, and Lobster Roll platters. All the dishes were very delicious. In particular, the Lobster rolls were succulent, flavorful and served in generous portions. The Fish & Chips, tasted fresh, flavorful and tender; the Chips were left slightly under-salted, which is considerate for those who need salt restricted diets. This was the first time we tried Fried Pickles, and the pickles "danced on our tastebuds" and answered our question of how a fried pickle tastes like. The nautical decor and ambience felt fun and put us in a fitting mood for a restaurant aptly named Moby Dick, to enjoy hearty New England seafood. The staff was courteous, efficient and friendly as they came by our table. The restaurant manager was kind enough to stop by each table and ask if we were having a nice dining experience. On our next visit, we will have to try the clam chowdah and fried sampler platter. read more

First off: BYOB! (or wine) Hello! That's amazing. This place is a little off. You have to order food at the counter when you get in, pay, and they bring food to wherever you choose to sit . Kimi from South Africa at the counter was absolutely adorable! Food was delicious! A little expensive, but delicious. Ordered the broiled scallops, and the surf and turf with scallops. Big turnoff: it's served in paper plates with plastic utensils.... Nonetheless, I would probably go back because it's BYOB. That's worth something. read more

Ate lunch here on a pre-season trip up the Cape. Solid clam shack menu, everything done the right way. Great service, great staff. I'm giving it a very strong 4. That's not a downgrade, but it is what it is. Roadside seafood shack at a 4 is very good. I would make a point of eating here again. read more

Moby Dick's - Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Finally made it here after driving by for so many years! We stopped in for lunch and the first impression was terrific - thanks to the super friendly and helpful staff. The lobster was a special and for an extra $12 it became a clam bake! Sold! We also ordered a special salad with grilled salmon. The salad greens were tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette along with candied walnuts, sliced Granny Smith apples, blue cheese crumbles and dried cranberries. The salmon was grilled perfectly...seasoned just right and rare in the middle. There was a smidge too much dressing for me, so I would get that on the side next time. They brought out the steamers first and they were absolutely delicious. Lobster was excellent and the corn on the cob was freshly shucked sweet. The potatoes were a bit under cooked, but as long as the seafood was solid, I was happy. FYI-place your order at the counter and choose a place to sit. They'll find you. And, gratuities for the staff are cash only. read more

Best seafood on cape cod without a doubt (as someone who's spent her whole life coming to the cape). Best fried clam strips, not overly chewy and are perfectly tender. The steamers come with hot butter and are always gone within five minutes. The broiled cod sandwich, jumbo lobster roll, and chowder are a few more absolute staples. The seafood is cooked perfectly and the quality is consistently good. Matched with the lighthearted, nautical aesthetic and vibe, Moby Dicks has something for everyone. read more

Take-out review: Whole belly fried clams (no sides) and 3 crabcakes. Clams came with fried strip pieces and small bellies on the ones we got. Clams in general arent the same fat bellied thin neck ones wherever you go. Has more to do with current harvesting than the restaurants. Seems like the necks get thicker and the bellies have shrunk. Cooked right, they dont make their own tartar it seems. The CRABCAKES are the star of the show here. The local catch taste is obvious and they put a good ratio of crab to stuffing, giving you nice big hits of tender tasty Cape crab. Save the remoulade sauce for the fries, they dont need it. read more

Greeting was great. The owner met us and found us a nice table outside with out of the wind with our dog and checked up on us after we got seated. He was great. Waitresses were attentive and helpful. However, we ordered fish-n-chips, and it was only average. "chips" were good...crispy and tasty but the cod was only so-so...no snap or extra seasoning taste. We ended up loading it with pepper and tarter sauce to get some taste. Prices were crazy! I guess "it's the Cape' but $25 for fish and chips??!! Nice ambiance but waaaay too much for this visit. read more

Amazing food and service not too long of wait if it's not the summer Chill atmosphere not very formal and kid friendly read more

Ordered a bowl of the clam chowder, half dozen oysters, 1 lb clams, 1 lb mussels, and fish + chips. The clam chowder was light and not heavy like traditional cream forward soups. There were tiny bits of clam and cubed potatoes scattered through out. The clams were large, plump, and sweet- a bit sandy but otherwise very nice. The oysters ... bomb. The mussels were massive! - Super tender. The fish (cod) and chips came with a side order of slaw. The fish was flakey and buttery. read more

Stopped here on the advice of a friend and what a great place ! Lobster roll was best we've had on cape - lobster was so fresh tasted like it was just taken out of the shell. Kids meals were great and and servers and staff were so friendly. Definitely will be back ! read more

Review #317 On the left side of street while diving down the cape. Right side if you are coming from Provincetown and Truro. Located in Wellfleet. We came here at almost 1pm and there was lots of parking which was great! Seafood galore! Order at the counter and the food will be brought out to you. I ordered the fried clams, they were huge and so good! They also have fish tacos, burgers salads, chicken dishes etc. Gluten free options. Very large dessert menu. Great for families, couples, groups, anyone. Super delish if you're looking for New England flavor! read more

Phenomenal experience. Employees are incredible and really care about the customers. It makes the experience so much better when the staff are happy to be there. Food is literally 10/10. I could not recommend more! read more

Moby Dick's - Wellfleet oysters and crab cakes - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Was tired of lobster roll and ordered something different. Glad I did. Broiled shrimp and scallop skewers were excellent. My friend enjoyed her broiled cod. The juicy corn deserves a mention. Too often you get a half piece of frozen corn with a seafood meal. This corn was fresh, juicy and tender. Was also happy about the baked potato when usually stuck with fries or chips. The prices were more than reasonable. The interior beachy and adorable. We made use if the picnic tables, though, as we had canine companions. Cute gift shop nextdoor too. read more

Service was great but their prices are outrageous. $24 dollars for a half a filet of fish and chips is ridiculous.

Oh no! What a disappointment. Have been loving MD for decades, but last nights scallop plate was awful. Scallops were either overcooked or frozen or both! Dry and tasteless. We were so looking forward to fresh sweet succulent fried scallops. That's not what we got. I don't think I've been this unhappy with a meal here in all the years we've been eating here. Was this a fluke or are they buying inferior quality scallops these days? read more

Moby Dick's is always a fun experience. I'm not a major lobster lover, but I enjoy watching my family battle the lobsters each time we visit! For me, what I think is great about Moby Dick's is the fun atmosphere and the boots on the ground owners! Migs came by to be sure we had what we needed and continued to chat with us! Having a family owned restaurant where the owners are involved and present always makes for a great experience! read more

The last several years we have included Moby Dicks in our yearly trip to the cape. This year did not disappoint. Ordered one of the lunch specials scalloped sandwich with bacon and jack cheese was fantastic. One member of our party felt that her muscles were a little large and slightly tough. But enjoyed them for the most part. Staff is always friendly. Food is always served hot. Beverages include refill. Place your order and find your seat and they will bring your food to you. They have indoor seating, a screened in style deck, and also outdoor seating. read more

Some of the best seafood on the cape. No frills, but none needed. You really can't go wrong. Fresh, well prepared, delicious. Super friendly staff and great service. I would suggest getting there early or late, as they do not take reservations and the line gets LONG. You can expect to wait on the weekends especially. Don't think twice though. Go! read more

Wow! Great meal, friendly staff. Well worth the wait. Excellent crab cakes, delicious broiled Cod and shrimp and scallop skewers. Staff is attentive. All set in a classic seafood shack atmosphere. Highly recommend eating here. read more

We stopped in for dinner at Moby dicks during our week in Provincetown. We traveled down to Wellfleet specifically to try it. You order your food first and then head to find a table. It was a little disconcerting as the lovely hostess had a British accent that made it bc a little difficult to understand her instructions as to how they worked. I expected to sit down first and peruse the menu like most other sit down restaurants. We ordered and sat, they brought our drinks and then food. I ordered the scallops and was very disappointed. I got a plastic plate with a bunch of cold French fries and 8 small, rubbery overcooked scallops. It was absolutely NOT a $37 plate of seafood. Service was fast and friendly, the food just wasn't up to par. read more

If you want a great new England seafood meal go to Moby Dicks. The only downfall is having to order your meals at a counter and sit at a table inside or out and the server will bring it to you. The servers are attentive. The food is great. We ordered the lobster roll and a salad with pears, cranberries and candied nuts with a skewer of shrimp. The people were friendly and accommodating, the food was great, and prices reasonable. Anyone who travels on Route 6 to Providence must stop for a great seafood meal. read more

Stopped here on our way home from a day trip. Service is excellent and the staff is friendly. The food was delicious. The fish and chips were light and fresh. The linguine dish was well seasoned. Portions were good sized; we left full. Owner was on site and very personable. The prices are in line with what you'd expect for a more casual seafood dining place on the Cape, and honestly, the food is better than a lot of the other places in this price bracket. No alcohol but you can BYO. We will definitely return. read more
