Not the fanciest of places. The best part of visiting this establishment is being able to sit outdoors along the waterfront. read more

Sundancer's Cape Cod - American Near Me - West Dennis, Massachusetts

I am truly disappointed at the service of this establishment. I came with a party of 10 and the hostess informed us that she would be able to accommodate us. Sound great right? Turns out, when we get to our "table" it was three separate tables and we were forced to sit separated from each other on 3 separate checks. The owner told us there was so way we could push the tables together because of a "safety hazard". Meanwhile, we look behind us to see 2 large parties with all of their tables pushed together... Very unfair if you ask me. It seemed they were discriminatory towards my party of 21 year olds. All of our food ended up coming out at completely different times and we couldn't even converse with the other tables in our party because we were so far apart. Not to mention the stuffed cohoags came out still half frozen and some friends who came to meet us waited 30 minutes to get a drink at the bar at 8:30 pm. To add to the magnitude of the situation, the men's bathroom had urine ALL OVER it. Disgusting. Could have been a good experience but they blew it. 0/10 recommend read more

I'm here with my family doing the yearly Cape Cod thing and decided to hit this place as we are staying pretty close. I should have checked the reviews before hand because I see a lot of reoccurring issues. I will say my party of six was seated quickly and with no issues. The hostess was very nice and accommodating. I have three children under 12, so I usually take advantage of the children's menu. What a disappointment the children's menus was 6.99 for a small portion of mac and cheese and it didn't even come with fries. The chicken fingers were so bland that even a six year old couldn't eat them. The waitress didn't bring our drinks until a few minutes after our appetizers arrived. Adult food was completely bland. The rib dinner was dry and seemed to have no sauce or marinate. The entertainment was nice and the atmosphere seemed good if we were there just for drinks. Definitely not a good place for a family with youngsters. read more

Sundancer's Cape Cod - This is the $6.99 kids mac and cheese - American Near Me - West Dennis, Massachusetts

It was good but will not go back. Bar drinks were not so great and the atmosphere was the same. Food and okay but server was nice.

Only good thing about this place is the hot host-man. Had to ask the waitress for water FOUR times...Absurd. They weren't even busy. Bad service. Bad food. Don't waste your time. read more

Sundancers is worth your while if you want two things: 1. Good bar food/seafood overlooking the Swan River 2. Entertainment by a local band/drinks/dancing after dinner If you can't sit in the outdoor section of the restaurant to enjoy the view, it's not necessary for you to go here over somewhere else. The food is definitely good, (I always enjoy the boneless buffalo wings) but it's not better than anything else that you'd find on the Cape. read more

This place is a complete dump. Been here on a few occasions over the years and the food is always a let down. I decided to give it another try since I heard they had a new owner. They have entertainment here on the weekends so I decided to come here on a Saturday night and see how it was. I started off with a Tito's and club soda, that was fine, it's my go-to. The vibe in there was a little weird but you never know what you're going to get on Cape Cod in the summer. After I finished my first drink, I decided to switch it up and try something different. I ordered a raspberry vodka with club soda and splash of fruit punch. The drink literally tasted like watered down juice. I asked the bartender(who I later found out is the new owner) if she would remake it or make me something else. She goes "what? Do you want me to add more fruit punch?" I said "no, I just want you to make me something else". Which then prompted her to grab the drink from my hand, angrily spill it out in the sink in front of me, storm over to the cash register, grab the money that I paid for my drink, put it on the counter in front of me and walk away. I'm not really sure how she would think this was an appropriate course of action but hey, it's her business. Though with that attitude, I'm sure it won't be for long! read more

The only good part of our meal was the plain wings, the others were soggy. The iced tea tasted off. The steamers were so big and full of sand that you could choke on it. The nachos were awful...dry, cold, hard cheese- nothing flowed. The Kraft Mac n cheese was dry, like they cut back on the butter from the box directions. Gordon Ramsey, they need you. The clam chowder wasn't even good. When things were brought to the attention of the waitress there was no apology or compensation offered. However, The mud slide was good and the rib eye steak looked good at the next table. We had asked for a table on the patio and was told no to the 3 empty tables and finally after asking twice they let us sit there. read more

We went to Sundancers on our off season Bachelorette night out. It was the last bar we went to for a reason! We had a big group of ladies and the vibe here fit us best. There was an awesome love band and the owner waived our cover because we were a bachelorette! The only thing we didn't enjoy were the swarming men who were too intoxicated to realize where they were never mind if we were trying to get away from them. There was a brawl toward the end of the night but we were already out of there so we werent too bothered by it. Overall we had a great time! Thank you! read more

This place sucks. Placed a take out order. Took an hour to have it ready. And it wasn't ready. Forgot two of our six orders. Had to wait even longer. Food was cold. Waste of 100 bucks. read more

I used to patronize Sundancers in the late 90's and early 00's when I ran a pro windsurfing event. We held our parties here and they were A-OK. I stopped going until May when I organized a mini reunion with my friends. The place was very odd (9:30 at night on a Saturday) with women dressed down in pajama bottoms, men wearing really dressed down shorts, grubby baseball caps and dirty tops. The smokers outside outnumbered those inside and the smell of vile smoke permeated the place. I left. Went last night at 6 for my high school reunion meet up. It was 6 PM and a local radio station was putting on some show. LOUD does not describe the atmosphere but I let it slide and had a blast catching up with friends. At 8, we moved outside to eat. MUCH better and a super sunset view. I had the steamers for 16.99 (a little pricey) but they were delicious and no grit. Friends didn't love their tacos. The servers are really sweet and dress up with little short short so definitely an eye candy spot for the guys. I chatted up with a lot of married men out for the night w/o their wife. Get the picture? Not my scene but that's how it was last night. I left at 9 before the PJ ladies showed up. read more

What a horrific experience... where to start: 1) Called in a dinner reservation, showed up and they say they have no record of it and we'll have to wait half an hour. 2) Waitress was friendly but completely ineffective. Put in our order incorrectly, couldn't keep check on how things were going (drinks, silverware required, etc). She also kept dropping dishes of food (including ours) on customers and on the way to/from the kitchen. 3) The food was consistently overcooked. Literally, they overcooked reheated potato skins, sirloin tips (ordered medium, came out well done), chicken (never had to use a steak knife to cut chicken before), clam strips had the consistency of burned chicken nuggets, buffalo salad and rubber chicken, etc. 4) The finishing touch was when at the time of the check the waitress informed us that the ice tea refills were not free. This isn't mentioned anywhere in the menu, nor did she tells us before hand. As she admitted, "I should have told you before but I didn't". The only good thing I can say about this place is that the view over the water is good. Given how bad the food and service is, I'd say skip dining here and just go enjoy the free view of the water nearby. read more

Visited in June & had a great time here! Lobster Roll was amazing, so was the chowder AND the view! Great service, great experience!

Excellent lobster dinner with rice that was amazingly moist with celery & carrots in it & delicate fresh green beans. Will not hesitate to visit again read more

Do yourselves a big favor and go to Sundancer's. The setting and view are fabulous. The food is delicious and the staff so nice. Was there earlier today. Live music tonight. Just a good time. Not open year round, so go soon! You will have no regrets. read more

This place is fun at night - drinking and dancing and silliness ensue. Lunch was mediocre though and the some of the staff (partuclarly rude small female bartender) left something to be desired. Defintely a stop on the party train - just not for meals maybe. Wednesday night 80's Video Dance Party was a blast (from the past). read more

This restaurant was sub par to say the least! We had great appetizers making for a promising experience but it certainly went down hill from there ! Service was awful and our food took forever. The lobster dinner was tough and for a seafood establishment it was disgusting I've had better lobster in New Hampshire no where close to the ocean ...and my seafood medley was fine aside from the disgusting fishy scallops that almost made me get sick. I was very disappointed to say the least with the service and food read more

Food was great. Delicious chicken sandwich. French fries were more like potato chips but still good. Live music was quite loud, wouldn't suggest going unless you want the bar vibe. Only downside was lots of creepy men lurking on my young friends. Porch seemed nice, would have much rather sat out there. read more

Went there with my mom last night while on vacation. Great food and staff. Keep up the wonderful work and cooking.

I have been eating weekly at this restaurant for over 20 years, the food was always consistent with many daily well priced specials. New owners have changed the menu and greatly increased the prices. I ordered a clam roll which was priced at $15.95, but the roll had 6 soggy fried clams. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she said let me bring this to our manager's attention. She then came back, and mentioned the size of 4oz, the manager never if made an appearance at our table. There are so many places that you can get a wonderful clam roll, we decided, as locals, to patronize this restaurant, unfortunately this experience was very disapointing. I can only hope that the new owners will make a go of this long standing local restaurant/bar, but the customer service must improve and the quality and size of the food portions should be addressed, along with the prices. The prices have greatly increased, scallop rolls were $9.95 last year and are priced at $14.95 this year, this is just one example. The prices overall were way out of line for this restaurant, when so many other places have better food and lower prices. On the positive, their clam chowder was wonderful! So if you want a local place with a view this is a good bet, but watch your drink and food prices. read more

I'm going to tell you all about my experience here. It took 16 minutes for some soups and a small salad. Then it took a total of 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. I got a French onion soup and there was no broth. I would give it a 4/10. Then I got the grilled chicken sandwich. It came with French fries that were closer to chips than fries. Worst fries I've ever had. 0/10. The sandwich was mediocre at best. The chicken didn't taste great and it was dry. 5/10. The prices were insane here. It cost $130 for 5 people who all got lite lunches. None of which were very good. I do not recommend going to this place. Stay away. read more

If you are looking for a great local place with excellent food, this is it. They have excellent Cajun Sword Fish tips and Quahog. The bartender Sarah is very helpful and friendly. If that isn't enough, come here to watch the sunset while sitting on their patio. read more

Stopped in on a Monday with family. Great service!!!!! Food was very good. No food left on anyone's plate. Great view of Osprey nest and river made it that much more of an experience. read more

Nothing fancy but good food and great atmosphere. Lobster roll is an absolute must. Skip the chowder. Try to sit on the deck, great view. Music is always fantastic. Fun for the whole family. read more

The food was generally very bad. A table of 7 of us spent $86.66 on food that was left mostly unfinished. The food was not well cooked and seemed to be refrigerated for long time periods. Not a good restaurant. read more

Tourist trap. And a locals watering hole. You get a weird mix of both kinds of people. Yes the view is nice but the place right next door has 100% better food, entertainment, ambiance, service and a better view to boot. Lobsters are small, "chick" lobsters, so even though the price looks good, it's not. Prime rib is way too salty and blah. There's so many better places to eat in Dennis, don't waste your money here. read more

New owners have done a fantastic job! New menu has a little bit of everything. Staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant has a fresh look all around. Prime rib was flavorful and good sized. Fish tacos were the best... served on pita rounds with the right amount of batter. Fish was flaky and delicious. View of Bass River spectacular. A must stop on Cape Cod. read more

Zero stars. Food is awful. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. If you want a bottled beer and a view, by all means, this place is a nice view. Fried clams were underdone, steamers were dried out and sandy, hot dog was barely cooked, French fries were hard sticks and gross, fried pickles were in heavy flavorless batter. Don't waste your hard earned money here. It's a pity because with the right menu and the right chef, thus could be a fantastic location. read more

One star for good french fries only! We ordered 2 baked scrod dinners lightly topped with bread crumbs 9.99! The waitress Kelly brings us fish saturated with melted cheese and bacon bits....if we wanted unhealthy fish we would have gotten fried ( as in fish n chips)! Also 30 min. later were still waiting for our rolls n butter and when asked kelly said ...oh people usually dont want it so they ask for it.....i said its on the menu as part of the dinner....would you bring us the rolls....then she tried too charge us 12.99 for each meal.....its 9.99! We recieved No compensation for their mistake....i didnt send it back it was 230 i was famished so i scraped off the cheese and bacon bits too find fish! read more

My husband and I like to stop in here after a day at the beach or after kayaking on the Bass River. It has a nice atmosphere for that and the bands that play in early evening are fun, but not so loud that you can't talk while eating. My husband had the baked seafood platter and while the scallops were good, the shrimp and cod were both way overcooked. I had the cajun shrimp wrap and it was tasty, but I ran out of shrimp well before I ran out of wrap and lettuce. Also, the drinks are pricey. We had 4 Fireball shots during our few hours there and when we got our bill, we realized for the price of our shots, we could have gotten 2 bottles of Fireball at the liquor store. We will go back, but will most likely stick to beer and sandwiches. read more

My family, friends and I all came here after our wedding rehearsal dinner for drinks and dancing on Saturday 9-10-16! I can't review the food because we didn't eat anything, but the drinks ( from what I remember!) were good and the band playing that night ( The Deloreans) were amazing!!! We had a blast all night! read more

Love Sundancers for a nice relaxing waterfront dinner. The specials are fantastic and you cannot beat the prices. My fiance had the teriyaki steak tips and chicken, which he said was delicious. I had the shrimp, just fantastic. Their lobster specials looked good too. My cousin lives in Harwichport and showed me this restaurant, now I eat there whenever I'm on Cape. You can't go wrong! read more

Visiting here from CT and I've got to say this restaurant was very good. I had the Alcapocco Burger which was awesome. My husband had the king sized lobster roll. Also very good. Would def come back here on our next trip here. I gave it 4 stars for the not too good mojitto. Will try something else next time read more

This place was awesome! The service, atmosphere, and food were great. I was here 7/18, I had the pleasure of having Kelly as our waitress. She did a great job, she was informative and friendly. She made a few recommendation that we absolutely loved. It was all around a good experience. I would recommend this place to all of my friends and family. We will be coming back for some live music! read more

Back for an update. Just so you know the "chef" doesn't toast rolls? Fish sandwich on a cold roll? Lobster roll not toasted?? He refuses to toast the rolls?? Weird read more

Awesome little place. unbelievable steak tips for a seafood restaurant. Price are reasonable. Fried shrimp was great. Will return.

Stopped after some beach time. Had lobster rolls, and they were great! Sat outside on their deck on a beautiful day. What more could you ask for. They staff was very friendly and helpful. Recommend! read more

Beautiful view from the deck seating. Inside is dark and we wouldn't have stayed if we didn't get a deck spot. Food was delish!! Hawaiian chicken sandwich was simple and perfectly cooked teriyaki chicken with a pineapple. The burger was thick and tasty. The onion rings are cut wide and tasted like a good cape code onion ring! - worth the $1.99 up charge. We had $5 off two meals coupon from the kayak rental place after renting kayaks. Glad we tried it out. The view is outstanding. Staff was pleasant. We will be back. read more

See all

This used to be my favorite beach/ raw bar New upgrade and karaoke has turned it into just another tourist trap. Too bad. The old place was charming and fun read more

Visited Sundancers twice while I was visiting my family on the Cape. Food, service, and atmosphere were excellent! Came back a second night with some friends, on a Saturday, to enjoy some dancing and drinking. Very safe and friendly atmosphere. A good mix of people of all ages were dancing and having fun. I will definitely keep this place in mind when I return for a visit. read more
