Liked my cold beer and lobster roll. Kick back vibes place my first experience here. Loved our barmaid she was personable and made sure we got what and when we wanted for food and a drink. and locals. It's on my place to come back, only 65 mi. From home. Don't be a schmo and you'll be fine. read more

The atmosphere is always a blast, the drinks are great, and somehow we leave with a funny story every single time. Whether it's a random conversation at the bar, live music, or just the overall energy, there's nowhere else quite like it. I LOVE THIS BAR!!! read more

I want to congratulate Trader Eds on bringing a happy and chill Key West Vibe to Cape Cod. My son and I visited on Thursday of last week. We had an epic time. We especially loved all of the attention to my son Jack... from our kind & gorgeous servers April and Talia. We enjoyed the lobster special & the chef put together a special presentation for my son's plate. The music was an unexpected surprise. The band was great/insane. We loved the scenery of the marina, the staff & clientele. We will be back soon! We look forward to making more memories at Trader Eds. read more

We had a blast watching the World Cup with cocktails, oysters on the half shell and beautiful harbor views (and breezes)!! Perfect! Music starts at 5:00 and we're stay'n for that, too! read more

Went to trader eds for the first time and it was my favorite night out on cape cod. As someone that summers on cape cod, being here with the barstool girls and sun cruiser was an unbelievable experience! read more

Such a great spot. We ended up spending the entire day here because the vibe was so good. Gorgeous setting, delicious fish and chips, and overall an amazing experience. Huge thanks to Krystina behind the bar -- she was so fun, kept the energy up, and made sure we were always taken care of with full drinks read more

Consistently an amazing time, great food, service, environment and fun. Owner and staff go above and beyond to make your experience one to remember. My family and I have been patrons of John since it was the dockside. My family and I thank you for such great memories. Glad to see you are open and we will be by for lunch or dinner this week Truly Joe read more

The family that owns the place is amazing! So caring! Great staff!!! Awesome place to be and go to all year round! With the lights on around the water and it being right on the water the place is beautiful! read more

Where do I start?? Well, first this place is ONE OF A KIND! Back in August, while on vacation, my wife asked me to find a place to get a bite and a drink on the water with a view. After looking around, I located Trader Ed's. We went there not knowing what to expect, we left we a new FAVORITE spot on the Cape! We went back a few more times that week, and before you knew it, the staff knew us by name. Fast forward to the weekend. A couple of months later, we are back on the Cape. We made a beeline to Trader Ed's, walked in a the staff began cheering my wife's name like we never left. We just had the best weekend there. Thanks to John and his staff! You guys rock! read more

this is the best bar and restaurant on cape cod, the view is absolutely amazing! you can't beat the sunset! we came for sunday, they showed us the true definition of Sunday fun day! read more

Spent a long weekend in Hyannis and checked out this spot after finding it in one of the Cape guides. I was hoping for a live band, but it was just a DJ on Saturday night. The waterfront scenery was nice, and the vibe was decent. Service was okay. Seating was self-serve, seemed to have plenty of staff, however I got skipped over a few times and had to wave someone down more than once. I ordered the coconut shrimp plate, which was just ok. Nothing spectacular. read more

Trader Ed's - Coconut Shrimp Plate - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

The only reason I'm giving two stars is because of the service. My friend and I came here on whim. We were immediately seated and our server was friendly and promptly gave us waters. I went with fish and chips and my friend ordered the steak tips and chicken. My fish was bland and not very crispy. My friends steak and chicken were seasoned well but overcooked. They were both very dry. I would not eat here again. Maybe just come for a drink. read more

vibes are so good we love this bar, bartenders are so amazing owner is the best highly recommend!!!

Last night sarted out as a good Saturday night and took a quick turn. Tan waitress thought it was cool to be throwing ice cubes from the bar to the high noon stand and hit customers multiple times. She then proceeded to try to kick my family out of our table for two guys that just came in wearing suits. She claimed they "reserved the table for 11" ( it was 11:40). We had been there since 8 PM. We told one of the security guards who then kicked them out, gave us our table back and had a word with her. He apologized for her behavior many times. Bartender was also extremely rude. This broad slammed about 5 shots in the time I was there. I get it here and there, but dont be a drunk bitch when you're working the bar. We ended up leaving shortly after this bs. Place has some real cleaning up to do. read more

Had a 6:30 reservation to catch sunset during dinner, was not seated until after 7pm. Then was tucked in a corner because they were slammed. Drinks took another 30 mins and 3/7 were incorrect. Once dinner was finally served, my baked cod was raw in the middle. Poor experience unfortunately because the location is fantastic. read more

Great time! Food was great and the kids got to swim! What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon!

Place is a dump with poor food quality. Sloppy dopey service. How is this place still operational? Trader Ed needs to reevaluate the operation and his continued presence. read more

Bland basic unseasoned food Dennys has more flavor just depressing food that screams middle of nowhere town its carnival quality food

We always have fun at Trader Ed's! John goes out of his way to make everyone feel special. There is always great food and good entertainment. The servers are always on top of it! read more

Trader Ed's - Fun with friends at Trader Ed's! - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

What a fun place! It has a pool and live music. They have the best lobster roll with lots of whole claw meat! If you like lobster, get it! Chicken wings were tasty and crispy. Fish and chips: did you see the size of the fish? My sister-in-law couldn't even finish it. She shared it with a friend. Raw oysters from Wellfleet were yummy! I love it with cocktail sauce and extra horse radish. When we were there, there was a promotion from Skrewball whiskey. They were promoting their peanut butter whiskey. Order a mudslide and you get a free T-shirt or metal straw. The family got mudslides and enjoyed them. The drinks were good. I don't drink alcohol but the virgin pina colada was so good, I ordered another one. read more

Staff is always very attentive especially the bartenders Kelsey and Jenna even though it's usually very busy. Food is always great and the atmosphere is awesome! Must go to if in Hyannis for sure! read more

Big shout out to Trader Ed's! Here on a Tuesday night in the middle of summer at 9:15pm, we ordered frozen drinks. Normally that's a big ask for any place. But I want to commend our server! While she told us it's on the late side for frozen drinks, she went above and beyond and made them for us rather than serving us lite beers. Well done Trader Ed's. You guys are amazing! read more

Trader Ed's - Outside by the fire pit. - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

This place has the worst service and if you want food poisoning order the fish! I had to send mine back. It stunk so bad it was obviously old and frozen. My husbands burger was bloody and well it was gross. If you want to spend a lot of money for a horrible time go to this dirty restaurant. Ugh! read more

The website Menü is very misleading regarding prices. I always check the Menu before frequenting a restaurant. The lobster rolls were listed at $24.99 and when I paid for two rolls, was charged $72.- very disappointing. read more

Fun place. Something for everyone. It's nice to relax and chat to the locals at the bar during the week and then, at weekends,there is live music in the afternoon and a DJ at night. Bartenders are full of energy and a lot of fun. Food is great with .weekly specials offering something different. Most importantly, they have a great selection of beer and it is always cold.....25 years since I first visited.....but still the same great service with a heavy dash of FUN. read more

We went there with a group of 9, The bouncer snapped my friends ID (who is 30 years old). After all this he finally lets us in (after paying a $20 cover) realizing they are cash only I leave to go get cash at the ATM outside. When i come back in, I walk past the lady you pay with and she says nothing because she recognizes us, not even seconds later some guy comes up claiming to be the owner(I know the owner and he is not the owner) and says he will pay us to leave because we are being a problem. F**k Trader Ed's and every other business associated with it. You have asshole staff and you will never ever have our business again. read more

Two people from Seattle walked into a Hyannis bar... and we were immediately welcomed. People made room for us and were very welcoming--we're talking about you, Frank! Our bartenders, Jon and Sarah, were also super friendly, and the owner even stopped by to chat and bought us a round. We had a very fun evening--thanks, everyone! read more

Interesting place! I'm not really sure how I feel about the pool in the middle, but looks like it would be fun! We did not go in the pool this time... the crowd was a weird mix of young rich families and old rich dudes.. ok maybe not but that was the impression...the servers were young, but nice. The food was good and the drinks were better. I don't know if I would go back but it was an experience that I will not forget. read more

The bar owner overtook the DJ and took the mic to say "any guy who gets in the pool will go to jail, and any girl who gets in the pool will come on my boat". After that statement I realized who I was ultimately paying by purchasing an $11 vodka soda in cape cod and chose to leave. The bar owner was buddying up to the police officer who had been called to the scene, and it was obvious that a previously developed relationship had been established. It appears that law enforcement was accustomed to being called to this location and they were not taking the matter seriously by only speaking to the bar owner. Other than that, the bar was weird and was not worth the $10 cover fee. read more

This place is jumpin Sarah and John on the bar are hilarious would recommend this spot in Hyannis

Genuinely confused. Had a tasty lunch with my friend, and while the waitress wasn't amazing (waited 20 minutes to put our drinks in after she stopped by and tossed the menus on the table), we still tipped 20%, because waitresses make no real wage and it's the right thing to do. When we walked to our car, she came storming out after us and screamed "DO YOU GIRLS THINK I WORK FOR FREAKING FREE?" We tried to respond and ask her kindly what she was talking about, but she sprinted back inside. It was so weird- the valet parking guy saw the whole thing and was as dumbfounded as us. Overall do nooooot recommend, food was okay, but based on the entitlement/ lack of service I'd recommend staying away. So many other gorgeous places for a bite on the cape! read more

I love this bar. It is such a fun place to hang out when I'm on vacation. Nice to relax by the pool during the day and then get a bit wilder when the sun goes down and the DJ starts. Lots of characters at Traders, both staff and regulars.....who always make me feel welcome. If you like fun and to have a laugh and a joke, this place is the gift that keeps on giving....in my opinion anyway. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Great grub and good music !!! (I can only get in if I review it, but it's honest I swear!!)
