We were a little confused at first and started out in the seafood market. After wandering around a…read morebit, we found the outdoor window where you're supposed to order prepared food. I ended up with a half dozen Wellfleet oysters, which were substantial (2 year olds?), fresh, and briny -- exactly what you want in a Wellfleet. The only downside: They came with a lot of shell bits in the brine. I get that these oysters are hard to shuck since they have those rough, irregular shells (a result of being buffeted by the rough waves in this area). But I can do a better job when I have my good shucking knife on me and I am far from an expert shucker. A Caribbean fish soup / stew was also quite enjoyable, though my impolite and poorly-brought-up progeny made gagging noises when I opened up the container of soup in the car. I guess he thought it smelled unpleasantly fishy. :) He did quite enjoy a creme brulee we found in a refrigerated case in the market, however. Pleasant outdoor seating; delicious-looking menu (some of which isn't as ridiculously overpriced as it is in much of the Cape); pristinely fresh seafood; and super nice staff. But I was a little surprised by how long it took for us to receive the soup, which presumably had already been prepared, when it wasn't busy at all. (I think it took about 15 minutes!)

The hot lobster roll meat portions weren't amazing, lots of claw, but again personal preference. The chowder was very good. It had great flavor and there was a lot in it (potato's, clams, leeks). It was a little less creamy than some NE chowders. Picnic tables where they give you a number and bring you your food, so good for kids, dogs, casual eating.

The patio in the back was a surprise with clean picnic tables and string lights between the tall trees... but the food was mostly a letdown: --Clam chowder was flavorless. --While the lobster on the roll tasted fresh, the ridiculously large chunks (3-4 inches) made it impossible to take a bite and eat as a roll. And my dining companion has a big mouth! (ha) --the fish on the fish and chips was a big portion, fresh, and served hot. --French fries and onion rings were lukewarm, at best.

The fish is so fresh I have to close my eyes and savor the moment every time I get it. Is it expensive? Yes.

The fried were good but in my opinion the onion rings are without a doubt the way to go. Their onion rings with some ketchup or dipped in their burger sauce is close to onion ring experience perfection. We also had a chocolate shake which was very good. It's not pictured because we decided to get it as we were leaving. The chocolate flavor was bold and it didn't come from a low quality syrup. Eating this outside made it that much better! This place gets a 4 only because it's not a top 3 burger or overall experience I have had at places similar to this. The quality and freshness is very good though!

I was looking for a place with good salads and this restaurant came up on my Yelp search. Due to…read morethe high rating (4.6) I decided to give it a try. The place is set up like a casual restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. When we walked in they had their radio set on a Christian station praising all kind of Christian ideology for all to hear. When we walked in, the lady behind the counter just looked at us with no welcoming smile nor attitude. I said Good morning and I got a slight smile from her. I then asked if they had any diabetes friendly items on the menu....She said...I don't know what that means ????!???!?! How can you work in a restaurant and not know what diabetes is ??? I then said, items with low sugar content. She still said, I don't know. So I decided to order a salad. Their Basco Salad was described as a bed of fresh greens and a nice Lomo on top. The salad came up fairly quickly and it was delicious. The boneless pork loin was well seasoned and warm. The greens were fresh and well balanced. I liked the food, but the stern long face of the lady as well as her inability (or un-willingness) to help made me drop one star out of my experience.

They had a nice selection on the menu but we went basic, hence the pics. Take a peek. The garden bloody would have been a 5 star if it had 3 or 4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce in it. Otherwise it was a solid 4. Horseradish, cucumber vodka, (ONE OF MY FAVS), lemon, lime - I added ground pepper and Tabasco. Delish. The rest of the food, it is what it is. They customized what we wanted and were very gracious about it. Generally I don't expect places to mess up a basic breakfast and VRs didn't. It was fresh, hot and as ordered. Well done. The coffee was topped off continually and the server checked in on us enough to be accommodating but not hovers at all. She was super sweet. We will be back, I'd love to try their dinner. Hit this place up if you're near the top of the cape sometime! Cheers!!
