Very crowded when we visited. The service was a bit sporadic, but our servers were very nice. Unfortunately the food was not great. We had raw clams, oysters, and a bucket of steamers ($30!). The clams were okay, but the oysters were really not very good. The meat was kinda mangled on the half shell. You can tell whoever opened the oysters didn't do a good job of shucking. The outside of the oysters was also a bit grimy. I know it's only the outside of the shell, but you do still put your mouth on it to eat the oyster, and I think a quick scrub is pretty standard practice in restaurants, at least all the ones I've been to in New England. Then comes the steamers. At $30 for 2 lb, it's not particularly cheap, but it's a vacation spot, so whatever. Firstly, you can tell some of the clams had broken shells (like, shattered in pieces). If the shells were broken before they were cook, there's a fair chance that the clams were dead on arrival. Not taking my chances on those. Secondly, these were ridiculously sandy. I've cooked and eaten steamers before. I know they live in the sand, and are quite sandy as a result, but this is ridiculous. I think each clam probably had a solid gram of sand in there. No amount of broth dipping (which, by the way, was also sandy in of itself) could get rid of the grits. Upon inquiry, I found out the steamers weren't allowed to spit out the sand in clean water overnight, which in my experience is absolutely necessary for these guys. Thankfully, our waitress was very kind to take the steamers off our bill. For that, I give the establishment 2 stars instead of 1. read more

we hit the Mashpee location May or was it June?? Good solid massive roll big enough to share. Today went to the Hyannis/Ocean St. location. 27 for a roll big enough for two and 4.50 per cup of hot potato laden chowder with some clams too. Decent chowder..fun spot, views galore. read more

Biggest waste of money ever. Don't know what I was expecting with the over priced Raw Bar Medley, which took 20 minutes to plate. Then the kielbasa came another 10 after that. Words can't describe how banal this food was. From the delivery to the flavor, this was the biggest waste of $40 in my life. And I've literally thrown money in the trash before read more

I have been going to the Raw Bar for over 40 years! A wonderful treat! The lobster rolls WERE spectacular! This is absolutely no longer the case. They are now filled with finely shredded, tasteless lobster (no tail meat at all) and also filled with spongey chopped lobster claw. No lobster pieces...just fine shreds. The picture of the lobster roll on the website IS A LIE!!!! This is such disrespect to Bob who owned the Raw Bar for decades and its devoted patrons. Huge disappointment and false advertising. I did give it a two because some of the drinks are still delicious. Except the regular margarita is now watered down. A wonderful summer jaunt now ruined henceforth. read more

On a recent short trip to Cape Cod, our friends took us to dinner here. I was so amazed by the size and taste of the lobster salad sandwich, I had to return twice before returning home. Gotta go back. read more

Favorite meal of our weeklong stay in the area. My husband and I split the lobster roll and clam chowder, and both were the best we've tried so far on the Cape. read more

OVERPRICED! Just paid a bill, tip included for $430. 5 adults and 4 children had lunch in a little over one hour. Our cocktails were served in plastic along with eating off of plastic. Our food was good but not $430-worth for an hour of eating. Very disappointed and my pocketbook is still screaming! read more

We got 2 lobster rolls on recommendation from a friend and, as promised, they were huge! Each was $35. They did not have much flavor, unfortunately, since it was pure lobster (maybe with some mayo?). I took half of the roll home and ate it for dinner, dipping the lobster in melted butter. That did the trick, it was terrific with butter and without the roll read more

Stumbled on this lil gem with a ginormous lobster roll. If Im going to pay the money, its gotta be worth it. This one is welllll worth it. Big enough to split and still have a meal. Wonderful service with a smile and friendly patrons. read more

First place I ever tried raw oysters - September of 2003. Amen to that! Lobster rolls are enormous and delicious. Righteous outdoor seating area with picnic benches and a bar. Wow. I am craving summer after writing this one.... read more

The raw bar has the best lobster rolls! Many pictures on yelp today are showing them under the Lure Raw bar which is NOT the same place nor affiliated with each other! I go to both places but wouldn't want anyone to think they were going to get that amazing huge lobster roll with an amazing mudslide and be disappointed!! I have written to yelp to correct the error to show it under the Raw bar!!! Here is the website http://www.therawbar.com/the-raw-bar/. Enjoy 2/16. Noticed the error was fixed glad to see the Raw bar pictures and all the compliments for the awesome lobster rolls and everything else thy have be correct on yelp!! Awesome place awesome people! read more

Hey.... not cheap but Hands Down best Lobster Roll ever. Can't convince me otherwise. Worth every penny! Enough said:)

Great location, right on the beach. Hours of operation are limited, as are the food choices that are available. Great place to go for a drink and the view. Recommend you eat something before you arrive. The owners have a great resource in this location, but are inept on how to best utilize it. read more

I got the monsta lobsta and it was awesome. My friends meals looked good too but I think the lobster dishes were the best. My biggest problem with this place is that they serve everything in plastic. Plastic cups for cocktails, plastic plates and plastic silverware. It disappoints me to 1) pay 40 dollars for a dish that's served in plastic, and 2) see how much waste this place actually generates. Please consider our planet and the impact that your business can have on it. It felt bad to be sitting and enjoying ocean/bay views with the knowledge that much of the worlds plastic that this place contributes to feeds into our waterways and oceans. Take the extra step and financial hit to have reusable plat wear that does better for our future generations and planet into consideration. read more

On the reviews found here we decided to try out Raw Bar for their Lobster Roll and Chowder. WOW! Everything was as described here, "HUGE" lobster role, super fresh, no fillers, light mayo, and a great fresh roll. The Chowder was simply outstanding! We did take-out but it looked like a fun place to have a drink, right on the harbor. read more

This place made our night! As tourists who had driven the entire cape that day, all we wanted was a lobster roll and we couldn't seem to find anything decent that was open!! After being rejected by several "Closed" signs, we found this place and drove 45 mins to find it. After getting lost a few times and wondering where the heck we were amongst what looked like a deserted summer resort, we found it! The place was packed with locals who had been playing golf all day. We sat on the patio decorated with Halloween spirit and chatted Up the locals. We met the man who makes the "best lobster roll on the cape" as well as a memorable local named Squirrel. The rolls were $25 and massive in size. Wish they told us because neither of us put a dent in our rolls thy were so good. With a beer and a shirt to remember our time, we were out the door $65 later but the experience was worth every penny. Thanks Raw Bar for making some California girls feel welcome!!! read more

The Raw Bar - Massive rolls.. Share one! - Bars Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

Atmosphere: great outdoor seating with umbrellas Service: not bad, nothing special Drinks: I had the Moscow Mule - really good and a nice balance of alcohol Food: Littlenecks - fresh Oysters - fresh Lobster Roll - $30, enough to share, lacking flavor, for $30 they could invest in a better roll Bonus: the quaint shopping area where The Raw Bar is located has mini golf for the kids. They can explore while the adults visit. This was our second time here - next year we will try a different restaurant for our Lobster Roll. read more

Not going to any place that is too lazy to put prices on their online menus. Just sayin'

Every place with a lob roll advertises as "Voted The Best" or "The Biggest" lob roll in Mass/Cape/[insert town]. This one happens to actually get my vote for biggest AND best on the Cape, based on my limited experience of four different places I had lob rolls throughout Cape Cod. It's very out of the way, but worth the drive. Stop by Cupcake Charlie's on your way back to highway 6, you'll be glad to did, although you may not have room after the colossal and delicious roll. read more

Dishonest service. Put our name on a waitlist which we were told would be about an hour, all well and good on a busy weekend. We sent one person from our group back after 1 hour to check in and were told our table was ready and to grab the rest of the group. When we returned, our table had been given to another group that had just arrived. When we asked what had happened the hostess jokingly mentioned that our "table had been stolen." When the manager came out her story changed and nobody had jumped the line. As we left disappointed, the hostess feigned sadness. Terribly disappointed in a restaurant I had enjoyed before. Will not return. read more

The freshest raw & cooked seafood around! Best to go early,no wait not to mention that the as the time goes on they could run out of your favorite food like THE LOBSTER ROLL read more

Great view, it would be nice to print the drink prices on the menu...we don't have ESP..apparently it's $8.50 per specialty drink??? Have not eaten here in a while food prices too expensive for the product. read more

GREAT lobster roll! So good! We went there specifically because they advertise it as "no fillers" no celery, etc. It was very good, very little mayonnaise, which made it seem not as rich. The chowder was ok, not the best I had, could've been seasoned a little better, but the clam pieces were decent sized, which is something I look for in a good chowder. read more

Went to this place this evening (Tuesday)for the oyster happy hour that I read on Yelp was Tuesday and Thursday from 4-6. When we got there the sign and the waitress says Monday is oyster happy hour. After leaving I checked on Yelp again and the link to the website is for The Raw Bar in Hyannis. read more

Lobster roll is amazing. It is simple and let's the sweet lobster meat shine. One roll easily feeds two. The raw Oysters and Clams were also delicious. I make a point to come every year while vacationing in the Cape. read more

I do not know what to say! I have been eating at the Raw Bar for over three decades. The one thing I always counted on was the consistent world class lobster roll. We just order two and we instantly asked the server if someone new was making the lobster meat preparation. It was more mayonnaise, saltier and the meat was a little wet. The meat is frozen and you need to squeeze out most of the water. The new person did not do enough. That leaves more salt water in the meat. Please go back to the old formula or the best lobster roll award will go to the Popponessett Inn! read more

I took my father to the Raw Bar for lobster rolls based on this place being on several lists for best lobster rolls on the Cape. Sat in the outdoor picnic table. Very loud hip hop musing blaring on the speaker, could barely carry on a conversation. Actually sort of funny, given the fact that I was the only diner there at the time under the age of 60. We ordered two lobster rolls, which came out relatively quickly. The lobster rolls were indeed very large, and the lobster meat was pretty good, with only light mayo-type dressing. Served on a stale, non-toasted roll, no lettuce for crunch. Just a large wad of lobster meat on a stale roll. So, it was basically a hunk of shucked lobster meat for $30. No sides (like cole slaw, fries, etc). When we got our lobster rolls, I asked the waitress to turn down the music. After a few minutes, they changed from angry hip-hop to reggae / hip-hop ( classic reggae would have been great ), but still at the same high volume. Later on, some guy came out and asked how the meal was. I said OK, but can you please turn down the music. A minute later, the music gets turned down about 50%. Great. I can actually have a conversation again. But, before I know it, someone turns the music back up to full blast again. Overall, a lousy lobster roll experience. I have no idea why this place was rated so highly for lobster rolls. Quantity does not equal quality. As for the music, it should suited be for the patrons, not for the teenagers working there, and certainly not so freakin loud. I can not recommend this place. There are much better places to go on the Cape for good lobster rolls, like Sesuit Harbor Cafe in Dennis and the Lobster Trap in Bourne. read more

The Raw Bar - Yum! - Bars Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

Simply the best lobster rolls anywhere. The clam strips and chowder are also home runs. This place is always packed and on the weekend live music plays and you dine outside. We come back multiple times every summer. Tip the tarter sauce is purchased and not very good. Don't lather it on until you have tasted it. The lobster rolls are 12oz now down from 16oz. The price however has climbed to 30 dollars. read more

Terrific food. I drive 90 min each way for the lobster roll. It's the best I've ever had, the lobster that it. I would have preferred a roll that was butter grilled but a hot dog roll could never hold the quantity (and quality) of this lobster. I'm guessing 12 oz. of lobster meat. It's 2 servings easily. My friend loved the chowder. Laid back, no frills, relaxing spot. read more

The best Lobster Roll. Huge. Very tasty, but make sure you take some help with you, these rolls are so big I certainly needed help., and usually I am never beaten. The rest of the dishes are good. Lobster dinner good, but roll is better value. The shrimps were tasty, as was the wonderful Gaspacho soup. Kids meals are the usual kids fare (unfortunately, but not a real problem). Drinks good too, with good atmosphere, and great margaritas. Take a good humor with you for the inevitable wait for a table. It IS worth it. read more

Meatiest lobster roll I've ever had. I'd recommended splitting one between two people. I prefer a buttered and toasted roll as well as a little celery, but this one does really let the lobster shine. read more

I work in customer service myself with food and try to be understanding of the current situation including the pandemic. However that being said, we love seafood and decided to try this location last night. It was terrible. The menu was tiny and over priced. I will pay any amount for good food but it was terrible. I paid $35 for a small bucket of sandy steamers. They were gross. My sister paid $30 for a lobster roll that tasted like just mayo. I got my daughter a hot dog and corn and the hot dog was rubbery and roll Not toasted. The waitress was unfriendly and frankly rude. There was only two other people in the restaurant who just had cocktails. She wasn't tentative or efficient about requests. As we sat waiting for the to go container and bill we asked for 30 minutes prior there was another couple who were complaining to each other as well. She also double charged my sisters lobster roll and after the correction the bill was still $125 before tip. I expected more from a restaurant labeled best around and especially during a critical time. She also wasn't wearing her mask inside the restaurant which made me question its ability to follow protocol and cleanliness. All in all we won't recommend or be back to this restaurant. read more

Plenty of lobster meat but not very tasty bc it wasn't mixed with anything, no celery, onion or mayo and no buttered grilled roll or lettuce. read more

By far one of the best lobster rolls anywhere.. worth every penny of the price. Portions are generous and definitely worth the trip!

My husband and I went there for our anniversary. Two drinks in plastic cups totaling $25! The bartenders were arrogant and rude with 0 personality!! The menu prices were atrocious!!! Never going back and will call to complain to manager as well. read more
