Best Lobster Roll I have had! Fresh lobster and plenty of it. Clams strips were exceptional. Only downfall was no restroom.
We stopped at the Seafood Shanty to have some clam strips for lunch and they were so good. We got them to go and the two of us could not finish them. They are located on the way to the Sagamore bridge, with a scenic rest area, across the street, so if you are on the way to the cape, this makes for a very sweet place to reload and carry on your way. Just remember to take the route 6 east exit instead of the Bourne Bridge, and you will still be headed in the right diction. Enjoy!!
Living in the area we've driven by this place so many times and finally stopped in towards the end of the summer. Wow it was so good! Some of the best fried scallops and lobster role I've ever had. Great outdoor seating and plenty of parking.
Great lobster roll, good size for $30. Onion rings were great, thin, crunchy, and tasty. Chicken tenders and fries just standard stuff. We went to the park across the street to eat. Great views of the canal.
Lobster Roll seemed expensive at $30+… but well worth it! Haven’t had a lobster roll since pre-Covid, so admittedly not up to speed on latest market prices for Lobster. They have a prime location with a beautiful view of the canal so thought there may have been a markup for summer tourists, but even if that was the case, I would gladly pay it again. Additionally, a generous serving of Lobster (with just the right amount of mayo) along with the fries that come with it is plenty of food for two people to share.
Friendly employees, nice picnic table seating area with umbrellas for shade (no indoor seating), and plenty of parking.
Only negatives of note: (1) I don’t believe there were available indoor bathrooms (may be mistaken but didn’t see any)…There were two portable toilets by the side of the parking lot that were relatively clean, but just a heads up; and (2) they are cash only.
The food was delicious and we all shared a nice variety of items from the menu. We loved that the onion rings container was piled high because they were so good. The coleslaw was sweet. We loved the fried whole belly clams, scallops, and fish and chips.
I have had lobster rolls all over the Cape and this is the best one anywhere. And the size is enormous. Well worth the price they charge. The cole slaw was also excellent and very fresh with a touch of onion in it.
Would highly recommend
I've lived in New England on and off my entire life and this was hands down the BEST fish and chips I've had. The portions are fantastic, but I was not prepared for the perfection that entered my mouth. Stopped on a whim while just passing by and will now make this a regular stop for every trip to the Cape. Photo shows clam strips those were also delicious
The best lobster roll I've ever had👍👍
Highly recommend the Seafood Shanty. Found this restaurant on a trip to the Cape several years ago and now we will take a day trip just for the Seafood Shanty and it’s excellent fried whole belly clams and scallops. Never had a sandy whole belly here! Their tartar sauce is clearly homemade and amazing. The stuffed clam was not my fav as it was a bit strong on the red bell pepper taste, but their Clam Chowder is on point.
Definitely recommend to anyone driving through.
Awesome spot to grab a bite to eat. We stopped by on the way out from Martha’s Vineyard. Well worth the 15 min detour. Home made onion rings are super delicious. Burgers were great. Will definitely stop by again next time we are nearby.
Probably the best lobster rolls in the area. I found the review stating that the lobster rolls and the clam strips were the entrees to get. I did the same and I can second that. The lobster roll was lightly buttered up and the clam strips were battered to perfection. Add salt and pepper to both as they are slightly under seasoned in my opinion. And let's not forget about the tartar sauce because I got lost in it
I came last year and loved it. This year the food not as good. The coleslaw tasted like it had raw onions in it, which I’ve never had in coleslaw before. I didn’t care for it. The clams were fresh but the batter was a bit salty. Chowder was great fresh clams, it is NOT a thick chowder so be prepared. I enjoyed it very much as long as you are okay with a thin broth.
Walking from the house to the Herring Run along Bournedale Trails today and got a strong smell of fried seafood on the east wind. Decided to break all HR protocol and called the new “work from home” employee to see if she wanted to join me for lunch.
First time ever and it’s right in the backyard! Good prices, shareable portions, and a delicious creamsicle shake. Prompt service and friendly staff.
We went with foot long hotdog, clam strip roll with fries, and an order of onion rings. Nice patio with picknic tables and umbrellas. 👍🏻👍🏻
**Couple after us ordered the lobster rolls. They looked delicious. Prepared with mayonnaise only at this spot but plenty of meat to make it “shareable”.
Consistently good seafood with a great view. Not cheap, but it’s sort of a icon of the herring run area…something special, so somehow totally worth it. Be careful pulling in and exiting - very dangerous. Go a bit early to skip long lines. 🦞-roll is my favorite.
Best lobster rolls we've ever had. Not dripping with mayonnaise like so many other places. So full of meat you have to eat most of it with a fork before you can pick it up and bite into the buttered roll.
Super appreciate local mom and pop businesses. The vibe is so cute, ole school Cape. I like their fish sandwiches. The lobster roll yesterday was massive and fairly priced at 33.50. It is a very wet serving with lots of mayo. The meat is shredded mostly. The roll is very buttery and a regular ole hot dog roll. The people are super friendly.
Excellent stop for a lobster roll 🦞 The view of the canal is a historic place to enjoy a meal either on your way or coming from the cape. Easily accessible from both bridges 🌉 Lobster rolls have a generous portion of meat, great sauce, and crisply toasted and butter bun. Great spot! 👌
