It was alright, family didn't have great food and grilled cheese was kind of under cooked, Steak Chewy, and fish not great. The service was pretty good but could sometimes be a long wait. Overall it was pretty in the middle and a cool ambiance being able to be next to the Marina. read more

Brax was recommended to us by a local and boy were they right on point. The food, the service the location right off the marina in Harwich is absolutely amazing. Specifically, our server, Jill and the lobster rolls and Chowda were amazing. If you're anywhere near Harwich, it is a must! read more

Brax Landing Restaurant - Cold lobster roll (cut in half) - Seafood Near Me - Harwich Port, Massachusetts

The crowd in front of the place said, "This place must be good!" My boss, who lives nearby, said, "This place is good." So I had high expectations. I started with the Lobster bisque. Major letdown. very thin and not a single piece of actual lobster meat anywhere to be found. Campbell's makes better soup. My main course was the "Broiled Scallops", which, in the description says, "Baked scallops". Ok, minor faux pas. The scallops thesmselves were actually good, true sea scallops (a bit on the small side). The flavor was very good and I was content. The vegetables that came with it were steamed broccoli and cauliflower. They were cooked right, but didn't even have butter or ANY seasoning. I had to dip them in the broiled butter of the scallops to make them taste like something. The sweet potato fries were decent. Two glasses of house wine ($12ea) rounded out the meal and I ended up over $100! Service was good and friendly. I left full, but disappointed. Next time I will try one of the places in town. read more

Great place, great food, great cocktails and great service but get there early! Parking can be a challenge. read more

We ate here on a whim. Futzing around Harwich Port we Googled what seafood was around - tried this place based on its locality. Plenty of parking. Really nice view, on the harbor, lots of boats and docks to see. Crowded place. Seemed as though they have two main rooms and a full bar. Big, clean, and a very nice staff. Typical New England nautical decor - nice and reminiscent of the 1970s. Started with the raw bar, which was very well done; testers and shrimp - ice cold, but not so big. Lobster bisque was serviceable, but not as good as the bisque from The Sagamore Inn. The lobster roll was just fine, but not as big, filling, or cold as those from Tony's Clam Shop (Quincy, Mass.). The experience was nothing bad or egregious, but nothing really stellar or standout. Seemed more like a townie joint, a little off of the beaten path. We'd go again, if we could not find another restaurant. read more

Kickin it with a solid 10 on the queer o meter scale, Brax lands me in a conundrum. Can I give 3.75 stars? No? Well then, the waitress tipped the scale to the 4 star slot. She was so nice, patient and accommodating. The atmosphere is busy. (This is based on inside seating fyi) inside is a cozy setting with a harbor view. The view isn't so great along the left side, where there's a parking lot but we weren't out for a romantic lunch. That said, this is a fine spot for lunch. It is noisy and my hearing isn't stellar so hearing my wife was tough. It's busy busy busy. At 1pm on a Thursday we waited about 15 min for a table and on our way out, it looked to be about 30 min wait at least. Food: Chicken fingers and fries were tasty. The fries were SO GOOD. Hot and fluffy inside. I wanted to eat them all before they got cold. Perfectly done. My wife got an adult beverage - same as usual pineapple and Bacardi (yuck) and said it was good n strong. The way she likes them and her date. ha ha ha Anyhoo... I got the lobster roll. I like warm ones usually but this one was served cold. I'm SO torn at the review. It was huge. No mistaking that. And the price reasonable, $30. It came on a sub roll lined with a little shredded lettuce and tossed in light mayo and dill. The lobster was all claws and knuckle. Finally that's fine with me. I don't mind that at all. However the meat was floppy? I can't think of a better word. Like maybe it was previously frozen? It didn't taste fresh steamed to me, which is why maybe they can provide a huge roll. Not sure. I personally would rather a hot dog roll with less meat and have it fresh shucked. Anyway that's my only con, which I think might be a biggie!? Hence 3.75 stars. But I'm torn bc I really enjoyed the time there. And those fries. Omg. Enjoy yourself out there! Cheers! read more

We had 4 in our party on a Friday evening. No wait time, good service and food was good. Had the lobster roll, stuffed shrimp. Scallop special and prime rib. Portion sizes really good with good sides to choose from. Highly recommend! read more

It was incredibly delicious! The wait time was also fast ! Would go again for sure! Great place

Drove all the way out to the cape for a job interview, so I obviously wasn't going to leave without getting a taste of the local food scene. Of course, most restaurants were closed for the off-season, but not Brax Landing. A+ for that. I was craving seafood, and this place had mixed reviews, but I did not have too many other options. First off, ample parking. Awesome! Walked in, and was a little confused. It looked like there should've been a host stand, but there wasn't. Anyways, I took in the lovely decor. Brax Landing understood the assignment. It really took me back to the olden days of the cape, the rustic, wooden fishing accents were so great. And after walking down the hallway pictured, it opens up into a lovely restaurant with some big windows overlooking the water, which we were seated by. So lovely!! As for the meat and potatoes of my review, the waiter came over and asked my mom what she would like to drink. She replied water, he asked "with lemon?" "Sure!" She responded. He did not ask me what I wanted to drink, oddly enough, but I did want the same. He returned with two ice waters and no lemons. Oh well. My mom and I both ordered the clam chowder and the lobster roll. He didn't forget to ask me this time! I really liked the chowder, it was chock full of clams and there wasn't any bacon in it, and the potatoes were a good texture. It was very creamy. Not the best I've had, but it was good! Now, the lobster roll- I thought it was delicious! My mom didn't like how mayo-y it was, but I thought it was really good. It was served with fries, coleslaw, and a pickle, but I only got around to eating the fries which were also good. I enjoyed them a couple days later with some Cane's sauce, iykyk. And the lobster roll was huge, with soooo much lobster, I had that for leftovers as well. Our waiter even boxed our leftovers for us. A nice touch! Thank you, Brax Landing, for a taste of Harwich Port! read more

Nice view with average food. Had a fun time on their deck with a few drinks, oysters, calamari, chowder, and fish.

My family ate here recently and enjoyed the food very much. The service was fast and efficient. The atmosphere was rather rustic I would say. You can sit outside with a great view of the harbor or sit inside and have a nice view also. I had the Cape Cod Ruben which is similar to a Reuben sandwich except with fish. It was absolutely delicious. The fish was deep fried crisp and flaky and the french fries and the coleslaw were a fine compliment to this Sandwich. My wife had the shrimp and my son had the steak tips and both enjoyed them thoroughly. We would definitely come here again and hope you get a chance to discover this unique place by the harbor in Harwich Port read more

Service was very good but the food was dreadful. The clams on the overpriced fried clam platter were rubbery and soggy. I love fried belly clams and these are among the worst I've had. My acquaintance had the stuffed sole special that she barely touched because it wasn't good. With 1 drink each the bill with tip was over $110. Never again! read more

Brax's had an incredibly long wait for a Sunday night at 5pm. It was over 40 minutes. There is no room to comfortably wait for this long, especially because it was raining. We were fortunate to find a small nook in the back by the lotto. The restaurant was incredibly and uncomfortably hot. We were sweating while we were waiting and while we were eating. The food came out quickly and our server was quick. However, she was not sure when the fish and oysters had come in. She was also unsure of a few other questions we had about the food. She never offered to find out the answers and just stated that she didn't know. The lobster bisque was excellent. The clam chowder was missing flavor. The lobster roll was good and only $29.99. Their Cole slaw is subpar and watery. My father ordered medium wings and they were incredibly spicy. The oysters had great flavor but getting them off the shell was a messy task and there was no option for sauces. I honestly was a little disappointed with the food for all of the hype and the wait. The looming heat in the restaurant is what really bothered me the most. I guess I was more upset that the hostess offered us outside seating initially when it was about to downpour and told us that we would have no opportunity for seating inside if it did. We had a 3 year old with us and 70 year old parents. Zero thought on her end. I doubt we will return there. We are frequenters of Cape Cod and this is definitely a place I can pass on for dinner in the future and I'm disappointed by that. I really wanted to love it. read more

Brax landing set a record for us. We had dinner there on Monday and loved it so much that we returned for lunch on Wednesday. This seems to be the rock star of seafood spots on the Cape. Our first impression was the stuffed Quahog which was spectacular. My dinner lobster roll was the size of a football with extraordinary portions of prime lobster. Service is attentive, and you can sense their enthusiasm for working at an eatery that is a major winner. read more

Brax Landing Restaurant - The best lobster roll ever - Seafood Near Me - Harwich Port, Massachusetts

This place is old school and always great! They have the best selection of frozen drinks on the cape. We had the buffalo chicken wings which were the best combo of crunchy and not overly seasoned. The Chatham Cod is so big it is difficult to finish it all. They changed up their vegetable medley this year and it's steamed with no extra oil or butter. Such an healthy change! My companion had the fish and chips which were two big pieces served with two sides. Our waitress, Denise was amazing and polite without being intrusive. You could tell she's an expert. We went at 3:30pm on the weekend which is a good time to have a Linner and skip the wait. read more

Such a great restaurant!! This one is a classic in the community. The location of Brax is completely gorgeous. It's located right next to the ferry port to Nantucket. It's right on the harbor, with an amazing view of the marina and boats going by. It really couldn't be better. When we went Sunday evening, it was packed. We waited about an hour for our table of eight people. Honestly, I was surprised they could even accommodate us. We were happy to wait. I ordered a Lobster, which was delicious. It's always a treat to get steamed whole lobster dipped in butter. We also got the oven baked scrod, which was amazing. It was baked to perfection. Would definitely order both again! read more

Three of us stopped in for lunch and were acknowledged immediately and were seated a short time later. Out server was very pleasant and helped with our selections. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder, salmon Caesar salad, fried fish sandwich with fries, and the swordfish sandwich with onion rings. The clam chowder came out pretty quickly and looked great. Plenty of clam pieces and potatoes in a creamy chowder. Very tasty and worth ordering again. The entrees came after I was finished with the chowder. The salmon salad had a large filet of salmon grilled nicely very tender and well seasoned. The fish sandwich had a large piece of cod, topped with a slice of American cheese, served on a bulkie roll fried to a perfect golden brown. The fish was very flaky and fresh. Plenty of fries, again fried nice and crispy, came with the tree. The swordfish sandwich was nicely seasoned and grilled. Very flaky and the cucumber wasabi sauce that came with it was a nice touch. The sauce had a mild flavor with a little kick to it. This is where things fell off a little. The onion rings were not fried very long at all. They could have used a few more minutes in the fryer. I don't know if they were pushing the order out quickly or not but won't be ordering them again. Which is unfortunate as the slices were good sized and the onions themselves were tasty. All in all a good visit, taking out the onion rings. We'll definitely go back again to try other lunch or dinner items. Seating was good as we were able to get a table in the quiet section of the restaurant given how busy they were. read more

I absolutely love Brax! They are a consistent and delicious staple anytime I'm home. They have both indoor and outdoor seating - and if you're grabbing drinks you can snag a patio seat off to the side with an incredible view! The staff are super nice and hardworking, and they manage busy cape crowds like champions. If you're heading for dinner in August at 6pm - yes there will be a wait. No you cannot avoid it. Yes it's worth it. Just trust me. read more

Brax Landing Restaurant - Cider - Seafood Near Me - Harwich Port, Massachusetts

Average at best. I admire the business they do, and the environment in which they do it. The service was quick, the view remarkable. The food? At the upper bounds, mediocre. Had the signature burger. Ordered medium-rare presented medium. Beyond that, I had to go looking for flavor in the dish. There were, purportedly, a wasabi mayo and some other spicy sauce on the burger. Traces were found in the penultimate bite, then disappeared again for the close. Go for the view, be taken care of with good service for an eatery making money on the turnover margins during the high season, be underwhelmed by the food. There's a panoply of burgers and fried seafood joints on the Cape; Brax is middle of the road in an environment awash in options. read more

Dairy Queen is better . The place was crowded . Service couldn't keep up . We sat at a table for two and the bus boys after placing down 2 place servings asked of we were expecting more people . Served drinks then asked if we would like a menu. Food was sub standard. read more

First stop when we made it to Harwich and WOW. First time in the Cape, eating this lobster roll, was literally transcendent. I think it's like 5lbs in that bad boy. Might be making the weight up? It was GREAT! 10/10 read more

Crowded, average food at best, not somewhere I would recommend or a place to which I would return. There are many better options on The Cape. Service was ok, but not exceptional. We took first available and were seated near the bar and also the server station. Not a great seat, not a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Brax was awesome! We spent the entire day exploring Chatham and decided head up to Brax for an early dinner, per the recommendations of my in-laws. We walked in and were quickly seated, which apparently was a rarity, as it gets super busy. We sat down at a table close to the water and our waiter was quick to approach us. My husband and father in law ordered frozen espresso martinis and I decided to stick with the original. They came out and the boys were definitely heavier, but they enjoyed them on the hot day that it was. My espresso martini was okay, but not the best I had ever had. We quickly placed our order - my husband ordered the crab cake sandwich and I ordered the fish sandwich. I also wanted to test out a cup of clam chowder, which I was happy I did because after trying multiple clam chowders on the Cape - this was by far the best one. My fish sandwich was large and filling, too. I ended up eating the entire thing and actually wanting to go back for more. Highly recommend this place! read more

We spend a fair amount of our summer nearby and eat here a 2-3x/year. This primarily because of the view and the outdoor seating. Overall the food is a generous 3/5, service 2-3/5, value 3/5, atmosphere 4/5. There are way better options for food and service is generally better in the majority of cases. This is a spot that capitalizes on location, if it weren't for this it'd be out of business read more

We were there September 16, 2025 for dinner. The restaurant was very busy but the staff were skilled and managed to keep up. We did have a couple of ordering mishaps but our wait person was quick to remedy the situation. I highly recommend the prime rib as it was completely awesome and the serving was plentiful. The broiled seafood platter was less fortunate with overcooked shrimp and the swordfish was a bit mushy. However, the competitive prices and great service made up for it. read more

Went here with friends for lunch. Nice view of the water. They were very busy but we got seated right away. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Nothing unique or outstanding but tasty. We had fish and chips, fish tacos, burger, tuna melt, onion rings and chowder. We would go again if in the area but probs wouldn't search it out. read more

They would not let me in with my service dog. The Hostess said I had to prove it was not an emotional support dog. Very Rude. It's a legit service dog. I'm going to tell the whole community about this shit of a restaurant. I've read a lot of reviews about this hostess.FIRE HER. read more

Everything is great, except the food. I felt that the interior was enjoyable to have a meal in, and the service was attentive and friendly. Maybe too efficient in that my food was cleared was while I was quickly in the restroom. I had the lobster bisque, a stuffed quahog, and the fried seafood platter. I found none of them to be up to expectations. The bisque was too heavily weighted towards the alcohol, so much so that even two pats of butter couldn't bring it back into balance. The quahog stuffing was so full of other things that not only was there no clam flavor but it was a muddied jumble. The highlight of the meal came on the fried seafood platter. The fresh cod was so flaky and most, I can absolutely recommend anything with it. Otherwise, the breading on the fried seafood was pretty bland, but at least the seafood tasted like it was not bad nor a freezer special. I was told that the outside seating is a pleasant place to have a meal during the months that it's open, but that's not anything I can speak to. There was an extensive menu and other people seemed to enjoy their food, so maybe worth a try. read more
