    Good service. Good food. We loved the lobster rolls, fried fish sandwich, the slaw, & honestly the fries were perfect. Everything tasted fresh. Would go back and would recommend if in the area. Nice fast casual restaurant. And the food was ready pretty quick!

    I was looking for fried Ipswich (belly) clams and man did this place deliver! My wife had the lobster roll on a gluten free bun. A clean modern seafood spot with a simple menu and tasty food. Fantastic!

    Lobster roll- yum and good price! Fish tacos-skip these, they're fine but have definitely had better. Onion rings- I loved these but my partner thought they were too stringy for his liking. Inside is super clean and they're really prompt in wiping down tables whenever people leave.

    A very casual burger spot in hyannis. The patties are a bit small, so order a double if you're really hungry. If you want fries, make sure to order it separately since the burgers don't come with fries. The burgers were okay. Theres also some shakes as well if you want something sweet to drink. There's seating indoors and outdoors, which is nice.

    Lobster Roll 4.45 Fries / Onion Rings 4.75 Atmosphere 4 A very good lobster roll, lightly dressed with a small piece of bib lettuce (which is how I want it) in a buttery grilled New England split top roll with a good amount of claw meat (an amazing value at $24) Good a la carte fries and among thr best onion rings I've had with delicious horseradish dipping sauce Also serves beer and soda This is a fast food style counter deco e with clean modern vibe and decent amount of outside seating. Not on the water but still pleasant and comfortable.

    I gave four stars to not mess up the algorithm and they give them the benefit of the doubt. We came here, explicitly for the lobster roll due to the positive reviews, and even a couple of locals told us the night before that it was a good place for them. between tax and tip... It was $30 & extremely underwhelming. It had no seasoning, but we shrugged, maybe it's supposed to just have a clean taste like it's from the ocean and no one did anything to it? I don't know, but I have zero desire to ever return to have a lobster roll. in other news, we were the only people eating a lobster roll that we could see, everyone else was having piles of onion rings and fish sandwiches and chicken fingers and fries and burgers... My wife joked that maybe we were the ones choosing the wrong item and everybody else was getting the better food. So that's why I gave it four stars, in case everything else is better. positive: the lobster was huge clumps of claw meat. That part is true! I don't know if I feel like returning to try something else, but I have to believe they're better lobster rolls to be had around here. maybe Maine has us spoiled...

    Lobster Roll & Carrot/apple slaw

    Up in the Cape for the weekend and this gem was located right across the street from our hotel. We have eaten here twice already! Onions ring are a must! Lobster roll was perfect and fresh lightly dressed with mayo. Carrot slaw was delicious with a good crunch and a slight sweetness. Highly recommend, fast friendly service.

    Ended up in Hyannis for a Birthday Shopping Spree at DICK'S Sporting Goods got some nice things, then I was Hungry for Lunch....so I ended up at The Knack, I had a Double Smash Cheeseburger with Burger Sauce, Avocado, and Caramelized Onions, also I got Onion Rings....don't get me started with those, one the best ones I've had in a long time...1st time going there, and heard lots of good things about them...believe me they did not disappoint and the Price was really good too, definitely going back there again

    If you're a food lover like my family and I, and a big supporter of local businesses, give The Knack some love and support this summer if you're on Cape Cod! Their food is absolutely amazing, and their milkshakes are bombs, made from scratch by the way!!! This is a great picture of my order the other day: banana strawberry milkshake and a veggie burger

    Yummy - great burger!! Delicious shakes. Highly recommend going here. Hot dog well done

    Great burgers. Made to your liking. However, the O-rings and fries steal the show! Located in a very busy part of the Cape, the indoor seating is great, servers are very pleasant, and the bathrooms are spotless (thanks for that). If you're in the area and you want a burger, this is the place.

    I cannot rave enough about this place. I've visited Hyannis in March, three years in a row. Every…read moreyear we have eaten here for one of our meals. Every year is has been incredible. This year we came back because of how outstanding last year was. I ordered the chili again, even though I knew it meant I probably wouldn't eat my whole meal. My friend ordered the fish and chips and upgraded to truffle fries. She said it was probably the best fish and chips she's had. Now... for my meal... I am not exaggerating... BEST meal I have EVER had. Ever. I had the cod. Baked. With pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes. Served with roasted potatoes and spinach. So flaky. So tender. Perfectly cooked. The flavor was something straight from heaven. Breaks my heart I'm not local. I'd eat this weekly. All of the staff is always so friendly. A gentleman also checked in... not sure if he's a manager or owner. This is a top notch place. I'll definitely be back.

    We recently stopped by Portside Tavern and were reminded why we love great local spots like this…read more It's a fantastic low-key bar that's just as good for dinner as it is for catching a game. The TV screens are perfectly placed, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The pizza was excellent -- flavorful, hot, and done just right. We also tried the meatloaf, and it genuinely reminded us of our grandmother's from years ago -- comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. That's not something you find everywhere. Even in the middle of winter, the place had a warm, lively vibe. We ended up having a great conversation with someone we later found out was the owner -- just chatting about everyday life. That kind of genuine hospitality says a lot. Good food, great service, and an easygoing atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience -- we'll definitely be back!
