Wonderful fish shack where you can get cooked or raw fish - fresher than your mama's laundry on a sunny spring day. They can cook. They fry clean. Get your oil change people! We came on the last week of the season, allured by their $1 cones... but they were out (boo hiss). So we stayed for "fish and chips" but instead of chips we had onion rings. And we were happy! After lunch stroll to the water - perfect. The place was empty when we got their, but it was slowly starting to perk up. Its in a "tight space" in a residential area with a small beach parking lot and small beach with a really cool view of Barnstable. A stone throw from the Whale watching boat. Seriously, if its too crowded, call ahead and order take out. You won't regret the indulgence! PS - and service? ADORABLE! read more

Had a fabulous healthy late lunch at Osterville Fish too! I had the salmon bowl with blackened salmon, brown rice, avocado, cabbage, corn, pico de gallo and black beans. Salmon was cooked perfectly, accompaniments were delicious and the portion size was generous. Wife had the salmon sliders with hot honey which were ok. A little disappointed that the salmon sliders seemed to be deep fried but the dish was tasty. Service isn't speedy but overall the experience was good. read more

Nice place to eat outside. There are 2 tents with seating. No inside eating. Options are order to go or eat under the tent. Nice location by the dock. Food was great! Tuna poke bowl and fried clams were both excellent. Onion rings were very good! Pleasant staff. This location is Seasonal/summer and their year round location in Osterville (to go food and fresh seafood for sale) is open year round and great as well! read more

Osterville Fish: A Lobster Love Letter I wasn't expecting much--just your average 2lb female lobster, hoping for a hard shell in the hot month of early August, when most tend to be soft. The place was a little crowded when I walked in, and a movie-star-looking gentleman had just pulled up in a 2025 black Bentley convertible. Still, I was greeted promptly and warmly. I picked my lady lobster, and DJ cooked her to perfection. The roe--red and black--was the sweetest, most delicious part, absolutely out of this world! I've had many lobsters in my life, but this one was the best: clean, aromatic, and tasting of the ocean in every bite. Served with a chilled glass of Loire Valley Sancerre, it was nothing short of divine. Heaven never tasted so good. Thank you, DJ--and thank you, Osterville Fish! Love & Great Joy! Annette read more

One of the best fish and chips I've ever had. The fish was lightly breaded and flavorful. THE FRIES. Wow, no joke, the fries were unreal. Ample outdoor seating and just overall a great little place. (I'm reposting this review, because I accidentally left it for their other location) read more

We were leaving the whale watching cruise and feeling pretty hungry and this was just perfect! It has 2 picnic areas outside under a covering. Order food and they bring it to your table. I ordered the tuna poke bowl and hubby ordered the broiled seafood platter. We both totally enjoyed our meals. Too bad we didn't have room for their soft serve ice cream! read more

Worst lobster roll I've ever had! I'm so disappointed. It lacked any flavor entirely. I had to load it up with salt to even be remotely eatable. If I wanted a flavorless cheap frozen lobster roll I could have gone to any ice cream shop. I think we would have been better off going to one of those, and having a slightly better roll for a way better price - $34 for what we were served is highway robbery. I thought being right on the harbor and having bought quality fish from the fish side of the restaurant in the past, that this would be a safe bet for a decent lobster roll. Cannot reiterate enough: Don't waste your time!!!!! PS, the patio has a thousand tiny flies that will bite you while you eat your crappy lobster roll. read more

We came here for lobster dinners. There were plenty of tables on either side of the place- both were covered with a tent. There's plenty of parking. We ordered twin lobsters, corn on the cob, and fries. The guy taking orders at the window was friendly and efficient. When our food was brought out to the table the food runner forgot to give us utensils, but the guy at the window was quick to help. I wouldn't say this is quick service, expect wait times similar to a sit down restaurant. The prices were very good for lobster and they were cooked perfectly. read more

Pretty good place. Clean chairs and tables under a shaded tent. We got a Pick Two Combo that came out to be 25 dollars. Scallops are bouncy and lightly fried. Fish itself is very soft and also very light batter. read more

poor signage and instruction. Indifferent staff, and small (for the price servings). I don't need a monstrous fisherman's platter but for $38 , I expect more than a kiddy plate. The food was fair at best. The haddock was barely a 1/4 thick, more like a fish stick reject. We chose it because , we called ahead and they "didn't have a line" . Big mistake. There was a reason they didn't have a line. read more

I hidden GEM! Very small store inside, but plenty of free parking in the back of the store and seating is only outdoors under a tent in the back and side of the building. We found that anything that we ordered (we were a party of 7 from teens to adults) we loved everything. We did take out a few times as they were quick and the food is freshly made. A few times we order salads with shrimp or salmon there portions will not leave you hungry. On a sunny day it gets crowed super fast, so plan to eat a bit early if I were you. Hence, that is why we end up doing take out for most part. I would recommend the fish and chips, anything Salmon and for you land lovers they have good burgers and chicken tenders with fries. Let's not forget the soups, such as their hardly clam chowder and creamy lobster bisque yummyyyy. read more

Stopped at this place after finishing a whale watch tour. After 4 hours of looking at marine life, I was starving. Still on the search for a good lobster roll, this place seemed like a good candidate. Very casual ordering and seating arrangement. You go up to the window, order and they bring your food. I cant remember the name of the meal I had but it was a Lobster roll, fries and lobster bisque. Massive amount of food, for a very good price. It was a market price of under 30 bucks which is pretty good. The L-roll was over flowing with fresh, succulent lobster! The bisque was a bit salty, but still tasty. The fries were meh.. just fries. I am a Marylander--so I was dismayed to learn they don't have Old Bay here, the fries could have used some help. I really enjoyed my meal, I was supremely stuffed and satisfied! Our food did take a very long time to come out... arriving after others who came behind us. The meal was so good, I almost forgot about that part. No other issues! read more

Just to let people know that the prices at Osterville Fish, Too are outrageous. We were there last week and got the Lobster Roll, Whole Belly Clam Plate, and Scallop Plate, 3 lemonades, and 2 soft serve cones and the bill was over $160 (including tip and tax)!! The clams were mostly large, chewy, and greasy. The scallops were cooked well but greasy and the lobster roll did not have a lot of lobster in it. Prepandemic this was our go-to place but it has really slipped the last couple of trips there. Last trip for us read more

Spent a week on the cape just down the road last week and ate here multiple times. I enjoy the large shaded deck, and it's a very simple walk up window to order. Most of the staff appears to be teenagers or early 20s but all were very pleasant and knowledgeable in the menu. The menu covers all your seafood basics and we tried a lot of it! Top highlights include the lobster bisque which was my favorite thing to order, the blue crab roll (so much crab!) and actually their french fries are some of the best I've had...ever. The clam chowder was delicious and so was the quahog. While smaller than other quahogs I ate that week, it had the best flavor. The clam strips were very good but overpriced in my opinion, and the shrimp platter was also very good! I was highly disappointed in the onion rings. We had an order to go which included multiple orders of onion rings. The portion was huge but the coating very thin and greasy and falling off. Add that to the fact they packed a paper bag full of onion rings and fries which created steam, and we just had a big pile of onions and a pig pile of ripped and fallen off greasy coating. We tossed them. Better batter and packaging could go a long way- we waited on the spot for the order and took them home to eat right away so it can't be blamed on sitting around. I also found the lobster roll disappointing- the portion of lobster was light for the price when compared against other restaurants and lacking those big chunks of claw meat. I also wasn't a huge fan of the coleslaw but that's a very personal thing- it ran dry and the portion was a tiny ramekin. Overall though, the food was fresh and the setting and ambience lovely. Run there for that bisque! read more

I stopped by here this past Monday afternoon with my wife for lunch. We were looking for a seafood place to have lunch before leaving the area whenever Osterville Fish Too came up on Yelp and we headed on over. There are two entrances to the place, a fish market side which has all of the raw fish and lobsters and then a clam shack side which has all the cooked food. Silly us went to the fish market side first before before we realized we needed to be on the clam shack side. So we walked out and around to the other side. This is the type of place where you walk up and order your food from the counter and then take a seat and they bring your food out to you. For seating they have 6 picnic tables covered in fun fish print tablecloths underneath a giant white tent with plastic siding. For lunch on this day I decided to start off with a bowl of clam chowder and then went with grilled chicken Caesar salad for my entree. Meanwhile my wife went with a cup of lobster bisque and then the boiled live Maine lobster dinner. My clam chowder came out first and was pretty good. It was creamy and flavorful with a large amount of both potatoes and clams and was pretty filling on its own. Then after a bit of a wait (due to my wife's steamed lobster), my chicken salad came out. The chicken inside of it was still quite hot and it had a nice grilled flavor and was still juicy. All of the lettuce was romaine and there were nice pieces of cheese and croutons and while the cheese tasted good, the croutons were a bit on the soggier side. Finally the dressing was a nice Caesar dressing which I enjoyed with the rest of the salad. The bottom line for me is that I would come back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our food and I would love to try some more of their stuff. read more

Very enjoyable! Everyone loved their food. The only thing is, if you look for indoor seating, this is not the place! They only have outdoor seating which my family personally enjoyed. The people were decently nice and the food came out in the right amount of time. Wonderful restaurant that I would recommend over and over again! It's definitely more casual. read more

Stopped over here after going whale watching. Since we had a big group, the outdoor picnic tables were convenient. There is no indoor seating. Ordered the lobster roll (monster roll was $42), crab cakes, fish & chips and clam chowder. Thought the food was average, have had better, and the only plus is that it's priced slightly less than Hyannis. If you are just coming to eat here, they do have a small parking lot. Since I was coming for the whale watching, I had to pay the $15. read more

Was going to Mattakeese wharf for lunch but found it close I saw Oysterville Too right next door and decided to give it a try. First. I must say that the young lady at the window was extremely welcoming and pleasant. I ordered the hand cut onion rings which were excellent. I also ordered a fried scallop roll which if I were a food critic I would say was the worst scallop role on Cape Cod. It was about seven calico ( not native to New England) scallops which are always frozen. They were soggy and the breading didn't stay on a one. They were as rubbery as any I've ever had. I don't mine spending for good food, but I do expect local fresh seafood on Cape cod. Won't be going back! And wouldn't recommend it to others when there are so many other great places in the area. read more

I hate to give a poor review to a local business, but based on my experience they're catering to tourists and not repeat business. I've been here countless times over many many years, the food has always been delicious. Today my grilled swordfish sandwich was so extremely disappointing I will not be returning. For $16 it came on a large bun with tomato slices and lettuce leaf, with a large coleslaw (or fries). The fish was not the juicy steak I'd been expecting, but an extremely thin piece of fish. I was so shocked I did check with the counter that this was a usual portion, and was told that it was. My friends fish sandwich was similarly thin. Such a shame, they've made the place so nice with lots of shaded tables, but we won't be returning. read more

Best experience of the entire MA trip. Super basic order at the register and sit outside but everything is made to order n sooo fresh. Steamed lobster with coleslaw.

Solid four stars for a typical New England seafood shack conveniently located next to a small marina. It's a bit confusing because after you park there's a sign that says "clam shack" (outdoors, yet tented) and "fish house" which is presumably indoors but I'm not sure because I went left and not right. You have six large picnic tables, under a sturdy tent top, and a walk-up ordering window and a pretty complete menu. I had the clam chowder (very good imho) and a lobster (salad) roll that was dynamite. read more

This is window take out/sit on small porch. Lobster roll combo came with fries and lobster bisque. Price and food were just ok. Roll had lobster chunks not so dry, no butter or mayo. Ordered mussels and only ate a few. Awful. Small, overcooked no flavor or broth. Disappointing. read more

I have only been here twice. I have driven past it a gadzillion times. I generally saunter into Mattakeese Wharf for a cocktail & appetizer bc of its fabulous waterfront view. But I was in the mood for Fish & Chips & I had my dogs with me so decided to just get F&C to-go at Oville2 instead. It's a small pleasant little snack bar shack that has 2 outdoor covered decks with exterior picnic table seating. The inside is pretty small so no seating. It's Counter Service so you order & then they call your number. They also sell fresh seafood (mostly fish) at the Counter. So you can buy some filets or steaks & take them home to broil, grill. (I forgot to look at the pricing to see how they fared comparatively with other seafood markets. My bad.) The prepared food section offers your garden variety of fried seafood: fish, scallops, shrimp, clams accompanied with fries & cole slaw. Very simple & straight forward menu. The food was very fresh & cooked to order. I enjoyed my fried cod, & fries. I prefer creamy cole slaw. The cole slaw at Oville2 wasn't mayo or vinegar based. It did have a bit of Granny Smith apple in it which made it a tasty, interesting alternative. The place is simply decorated. Mostly Cape Cod photos & general seaside whimsical decor. It's very clean & the staff are pleasant, friendly, & efficient. There are 2 restrooms that are available to patrons (both very clean). I can't remember if they had any music piped in... They have ample parking on the side of the restaurant. They are only open from May-Oct. so definitely a warm weather snack bar. Anyway, this is a solid little seafood shack for an easy quick fried seafood lunch or dinner. The picnic tables make it super for all and especially great for young families which is nice. Recommended! read more

Tried this restaurant for the second time. First time the fried combo platter was good. This time I wasn't in the mood for fried food so I got the lobster roll. Seriously the worst lobster roll I have ever had. The meat was so chewy I could barely bite it. It HAD to be microwaved. So so so disappointing. You can't do that on Cape Cod. Come on! Do better! read more

Osterville Fish, Too - Boiled lobster - Seafood Near Me - Barnstable, Massachusetts

I'm giving myself 1 star and Osterville Fish Too zero stars. We've been here many times over the years. The last two/three years have been more and more disappointing on each visit. Last year 60 minutes before closing we ordered a boiled lobster dinner , fried plate,two drinks and a side. Think it was around 80 bucks with gratuity. There were hardly any folks seated when we ordered. And after about 50 minutes , and watching another table of 5 get their orders who came in probably 20 minutes after us, I approached the window and the woman working said "sorry we're closed!" And slid the window shut before I could tell we did not get our food. Needless to say when I got her attention she had no idea about our order. I'm guessing they lost the slip. And it probably didn't register with her that I had kindly reminded this same person 20 minutes earlier we were still waiting for our meal. . I ended up asking for our money back and we left hungry after waiting more than an hr and being told they were working on cooking our food.. And Today it was a pretty tasteless and skimpy clam strip plate buried under fries with a bed of clam dough nuggets. And a side and a lemonade (which was good) for $33. I did ask for some more cocktail sauce that never came. Read Edith b's review below it's pretty spot on. I should have too, and known better which is why I'm giving myself one star. read more

Let me start with saying this was by far my fave restaurant in Hyannis. Casual with picnic tables and really good food! I ate here 3 times in 2 days...don't judge! Calamari - good, and served with jalapenos Fish tacos - fried haddock and very tasty Mexican corn - who doesn't love this?! Crab salad - good and fresh crab (no imitation) Seared tuna - delish and cured my sushi craving. Served with wasabi and soy sauce Twin lobsters - good price, and boiled right Clams - good stuff read more

Amazing! I had the fried scallop roll the other day with clam chowder. Both were so delicious and I really love the bun the use for the roll. It's much bigger than a regular hotdog bun and very flavorful, and packed full of scallops. Lots of options to choose from on menu and service was quick. I was extremely happy with the overall experience and the prices are reasonable as well. read more

This place is consistently good and the staff is super friendly. They have a fish market and casual porch dining outside (covered so good even if weather is not)! I ordered the seafood combo (broiled) and it was delicious and a large serving...enough for two people! Their fried seafood is delicious as well. The fish market has decent prices and the tuna was pretty fantastic. The lobster meat price was a bit much...so expensive that I assume it was a typo. read more

Good food, nicely prepared, and great variety. Fantastic ice cream treats. Reasonable prices.

I have eaten at Osterville Fish Too previously. In the past the food was decent. Today it wasn't even edible. The French fries and onion rings were the only things worth eating. They were accompanied by scallops and shrimp that seem to have been murdered in a fryer and left there for a long time to ensure they could not testify against the cook. I think this is the first time in my life I have thrown away shrimp and scallops and probably my last time at Osterville Fish Too The good news .... Something finally motivated me enough to leave a review. read more
