Nachos

I am not even kidding you, this is genuinely the worst place I've ever been too. I got here at 7:07 PM and I got my APPETIZERS at 8:42. This place is a fucking Joke I will never be coming back here. This is genuinely the worst service, food, atmosphere you can possibly have. The nachos were legit dry, chips burnt cheese and bullshit on top. Absolutely joke here, will most likely wait another hour for my salmon. I understand it's busy and it's a Monday after Fourth of July. But if you can't make proper nachos and get out of your own way get out of the kitchen. I am seriously offended eating here I would've rather ate at McDonald's. Stay away save your time and sanity.

Service is exceptional. Great prices. Ambiance is fun and lively. Great beer selection.

We loved our time at O'Shea's in Dennis, MA. The live band was the reason we stayed for another round of drinks because they were so entertaining that we could have easily been there all night. The service is grade A and the hostess always seats you in the best seat in the house. The clam chowder was superbly creamy and the added crackers gave a nice crunch along with a strong clam flavor. We also embraced the Irish theme with the Reuben egg rolls and the sandwich. The sauce that came with the egg rolls worked perfectly with both dishes and the egg rolls were packed with juicy corned beef. The sandwich featured big chunks of meat and the marbled bread was impressive just for its appearance. Overall, it was a memorable night at O'Shea's.

I was being overly generous with the 3-stars because they had live music that night, & the duo was fun. I can see the appeal of being a bar that's open really late with live music. It doesn't have much competition. Unfortunately, it shows. The service was ok, but the food was below average. The mussels were so overcooked & under seasoned. The burgers, omg. How can you mess up a burger & fries? The meat mix was weird (cheap maybe?) & unseasoned. Even the fries were mediocre I would only return to go to the bar for live music. I have zero desire to eat anything there.

I've driven by O'Shea's many times, always hoping to go there someday & to relive my visit to Ireland long ago. Finally had the chance to go! We didn't have a reservation, but they sat us anyway, which I was happy about. There was a live band playing Irish music, which was lovely except it was quite ear-piercing. They certainly didn't need the microphones they were using. The atmosphere was definitely just like an authentic Irish pub. Loved it. My daughter wanted a grilled cheese sandwich (she's an adult) and was told she couldn't have it because that was on the kids menu. I said you have the ingredients, right? Just make an adult size portion of the same meal and charge more. The waitress had to go in back to see if they would make her the meal. They did. I'd brought my own spring water (sensitive stomach) but was told I needed to return it to my car. I've never had a problem anywhere else, so we were going to leave, but the waitress brought me an empty cup I could use to drink it out of instead of the container I brought it in. So, we stayed. Our food was delicious. Maybe a little over priced, but still cooked well and it was enjoyable. Service was a little slow, but our waitress was very friendly and engaging. If you have a large group I would suggest making a reservation. They're quite busy!

Bangers and Mash - Amazing!

O'Shea's is my comfort food and comfort music home on the Cape. Beloved by locals and welcoming to visitors, you can expect authentic Irish fare, Cape Cod staples, live music, warm people, lovely staff. I accidentally discovered this place five years ago and have rotated through only a few of their menu items: clam chowder (the best I've ever had), lamb stew, shepherd's pie (which is actually a cottage pie but still the best you'll get in the US), and bangers and mash. Why have I only stuck to those four item you ask? Because they are incredible. I actually have a hard time picking between them each time I visit. Oh, and they have the best bread pudding you've ever tasted... so save room. O'Shea's boasts food, music, and friendship, 365 days a year. Mondays is open mic night. Always fun. You'll have an easier time getting in earlier in the week and earlier in the day. I'd recommend making reservations if you are determined to try the place on a busy night.

The Dog House quickly became our place of refuge during our time on Cape Cod. 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.

New owners took over The dog house this year and I am sad to say my experience was terrible…read more Ordered 3 hotdogs and an order of fries and in 1-1.5 minutes was handed a bag of food. How could we get our food so fast? Well we checked our food before we were headed to the beach (luckily) and the food was cold, dry, awful and clearly precooked (on a very slow night. the French fries were not even the slightest bit warm. Really sad excuse of an establishment. We spoke to the manager and got a refund and an I'm sorry. But no excuse for having food sitting around and then selling it to customers.

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.

Both were very friendly and did a great job handling everyone. Menu is printed on the placemat on the table and pretty extensive. Plenty of choices for everyone from breakfast to lunch. We chose the cinnamon french toast, chocolate chip pancakes, home fries, bacon, and a cup of chowder. Given how busy they were the food arrived pretty quickly. Chowder should have arrived first but the server forgot about it and offered to put the pancakes under the heat lamp till I finished the chowder but I decided not to do that as I figured it would ruin the pancakes. The chowder was loaded with plenty of clams and potatoes and had a good flavor to it. The chowder had a light creamy texture which was very nice compared to some of the gloopy chowders you can get. The cinnamon French toast was two large sliced of their home made cinnamon bread coated with a light sugar sauce which enhanced the flavor of the toast. There were plenty of cinnamong swirls in the bread which made it very tasty. The chocolate chip pancakes (2) had a small pile of miniature chocolate chips on top with plenty mixed into the pancakes. The pancakes were light and fluffy and very tasty. The home fries were well fried, as asked for, with plenty of onions mixed in. It was very nice that they were red skinned potatoes so the pieces were small and crispy. The bacon, 3 slices) came well done, again as asked for, and was super crispy and tasted like applewood smoked bacon. Ordered a slice of their forest berry pie to go and then forgot it! But I know it was going to be great because it looked fantastic. Didn't go back for it as we remebered it about an hour after we left and they would have been closed by then. Seating is comfortable with a combination of tables for two and four people. All in all a great experience and we'll be going back when we come to the Cape again.

Although the locals recommended this restaurant for a great seafood experience, I was skeptical. It…read morefelt like the normal tourist fare; a seafood restaurant with a lot of sea decor, set next to the ocean, serving high priced fare. And while it wasn't cheap by any stretch (the meal ran about $300 for two of the seafood platters, a plate of clam strips and fries, and two soups plus fountain drinks), it was absolutely worth the experience on a vacation. The seafood was cooked to perfection, and raw items were prepared so well and clean. Everything was so incredibly fresh, I'm sure the seafood is handpicked and brought in daily (hourly?) for customers. Boiled items were perfect; neither overcooked and hard, but not undercooked and soft. The fried clams was a little too much fried fare for my son; after he finished, he complained that he ate too much fried stuff and wished he got something boiled like we had, but we shared and in the end he agreed it was all really good. Since we came at the end of summer season, they were running out of bottled alcoholic drinks; I wanted something to pair with the seafood, but the options I chose were all out. They said they eventually stop putting in orders and start again the following spring season to not keep unused inventory over winter. Service was straightforward and done with a smile. The wait staff is continually busy, whether taking orders or clearing dishes away promptly without being asked. The ice cream downstairs feels like a decadent treat after such a meal, but you can share a cone with friends and it doesn't count, right?? Overall a terrific experience. Highly recommend if it works in your budget!

We stopped here for lunch based on the good Yelp reviews…read more We were greeted by a nice smiley hostess and she offered us a few dining room options.

The platter was nicely cooked and crisp...crunchy batter and tender meat inside. The bowl had nice fluffy rice as a bed for a spicy shrimp topping. Great food, great service. The waiters wear the nicest tight skinny shorts. Just saying....
