After paying $39.00 per Lobster rolls and $15.00 per Espresso Martinis which hardly had vodka in they now add on 3% for Hospitality fee...I asked the server what that fees for and was told for cleaning and they started it 6 months ago...thought it was a restaurant not a hotel...We won't be returning. read more

Really bad food, found a piece of plastic in my sons burger. Owner was a creep. Young server tried her best to make up for the bad experience. I hope she finds a place that appreciates her and i hope my son doesn't throw up plastic later. read more

Our first time here. We thought the food and service were decent. We sat out doors in the outside bar area. Service was quick. Food came out reasonably quickly. My wife had the Lobster Roll and she enjoyed it. She said it was bettter than next door at the Lobster Hut. I had the Fried Clam Plate. It was decent and the portion was great. The fries that came with it were over cooked, but that wasn't the star of the dish. My wife started out with a cup of Lobster Bisque. She liked it but it was not very hot. I started out with a bowl of Clam Chowder. It was thick and very tasty. Likewise though, it was warm but not hot. read more

Figured we would try again. sorry this place is still nasty . Oh well people just go to the places that have a good reputation. Stay away from this dirty tourist trap. Sticky and smelly. that chowder is thicker than plaster, not authentic at all! awful joint! read more

Great location. Food was all good and service was excellent. Steak tips were very good. Also Gorgonzola walnut salad was excellent. Generous portion of calamari to top it off. read more

Great food-fish and chips were delicious- waitress was great- seats on high top very uncomfortable. read more

CabbyShack - Family birthday celebration - Seafood Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

We got the 30 oz shark attack bowl for a boozy drink and came in a rum pail because they ran out of the fish bowls. Drink was tasty but can't tell yet if there's enough alcohol. We got the clam chowder and it was tasty but the texture was way too creamy almost like pudding. The coconut shrimp was okay but definitely not legit coconut crusted. The only coconut was the side sauce served with it. Would probably not come back. read more

First, the star of the show is definitely the Clam Chowder! It is the best Clam Chowder I have ever had. I first tried it at the Phantom Gourmet Food Festival and fell in love with it. Plymouth is a bit of a drive for me (about an hour and 15 minutes each way) so we decided to go down during quarantine and get some great seafood. I ordered the fisherman's platter and a bowl of Chowder. My sister ordered a small pizza and my mom haddock with ritz cracker crust. The chowder was everything I had remembered it to be and more! Super creamy and hearty but still had the lightness of seafood. The rest of the food was bland and underwhelming. The whole belly clams in the fisherman's platter wasn't flavorful and didn't taste as fresh as the rest of the food. The onion rings didn't have a strong batter and they fell off the onion easily. I think from now on I won't venture from the clam chowder. read more

My wife got one too, with fries and onion rings add another $5.00. Expensive lunch. Add 2 drinks hundred dollars easy! read more

CabbyShack - Smallest lobster roll ever for $30.00!! Tourist trap!! - Seafood Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Waited over a half an hour for basically deep fried everything.. even the chicken fingers, which we didn't order was deep fat fried with no coating. The calamari was tasteless and served with this ridiculously sweet dipping sauce. The coconut battered shrimp was possibly the most inedible thing on the table.. dry, and bland. The lobster roll lacked any flavor, and the New England Roll, is basically a grilled buttered hot dog roll that it's served on. At 23.99 you'd think it would be something to write home about. The fish was good, not great.. when covered in tartar sauce, it was better. All in all, a sub standard meal, which was at a steep price! No wonder others were just sharing a pizza.. they must have had the seafood before. Nothing great, just mediocre and grossly overpriced. read more

Best Clam Chowder I have ever had ! Contrasting that fabulous news is the reality that : This is the Krusty Krab. I am expecting sponge bob and squidward to come to my table any moment.... well that defines the atmosphere. I had coconut shrimp... it was ok. The clam chowder is the best I have ever had, and I am a major clam chowder snob. I also got some fried clams for take out , they were ok. They were a bit pricey $24.49 for a small amount, but maybe that is the market price, I am not certain. Honestly I have not ordered fried clams in many years. Very interesting menu set up in the covid era. Scan a bar code at the table and the most up to date menu shows up on your phone. Very clever. Cuts down on things you have to touch. So it is not the Ritz Carleton dining room, but I would recommend you get your self in here immediately for the clam chowder. read more

Picked up an extra cheese pizza today and my kids wouldn't even eat it. It was dry, burnt and tasteless. $16 I'll never get back!

My family & I have been going here my entire life, and that tradition will sadly end due to our poor experience. I ordered the "Big Mac burger" preferably medium, but was served a well-done brick of beef, topped with microwaved Mac & Cheese. Simply, disappointing. The chowder made up for it, but honestly wouldn't mind them lessening the thickness just a tad. It almost reminded me of eating an icecream-like texture of soup, but damn tasty as always. Our waitress was terrific, very friendly and efficient. Ultimately, if your looking for a great environment/oceanfront view with poor quality food and likely poor chef/line cooks, the. Cabby Shack is a good option. Any higher expectations and I would highly recommend considering another one of Plymouth harbor's dining establishments read more

This place is touristy, as one might expect being right on the wharf, but the the clam chowder was excellent. The fried clams were also very tasty-cooked to perfection with good batter. The only complaint we had with the clams is that we ordered whole belly and there were a lot of clams on the plate, but as we started to eat them, we noticed a lot of tiny clams and random strips mixed in. It looked like they were trying to deceive people into thinking they were getting a lot of clams. My friend's nine year old loves fish and chips and he said his order was great. Overall, this place is touristy and a bit overpriced (like everything in the area), but if you want to eat by the water in Plymouth, you can have a good tasting meal here. read more

BEST clam chowda Eva!!! But you better like it THICK!! Sooooo sweet ...no dill!! Yay! Butter swirled on top oh so yummy!!! read more

My friend and I went here on Monday. We sat on the patio. It is very clean and has a beautiful harbor view. I got a mojito and my friend got a mudslide. Both drinks were very refreshing. The lobstah roll is AMAZING and the broiled scrod was very good. Our servers were polite and efficient. My only complaint is that the bathroom was disgusting (trash/ clogged toilets) and many people were walking around without masks. Which was baffling considering the current state of the world. Great food and drinks! read more

The maple salmon dish with risotto is pretty damn good. Nice piece of fish. The calamari wasn't great thought. Also, shack roll is now $35?! Wow. Prices have gone way up over the years. Service was excellent! My mudslides were nice as well. Good spot. I'll be back read more

This was my first time here & it DEFINITELY won't be my last. This place is AMAZING. the atmosphere is fun & friendly. The menu ? OHMGEE I have NEVER seen such a GIANT menu like this one. Great job CabbyShack & all your amazingly polite & friendly staff. Infinite stars for this place. read more

It was so nice outside so i decided to come to plymouth. I was looking for good restaurants and I found the CabbyShack. I had to get a spot on a the online waitlist, which wasn't to bad. I got there and waited about 15 minutes to get the message that said my table was ready. I went in and got a Caesar salad and Fried Shrimp. It came really fast and it was so delicious! the shrimp was breaded perfectly and the salad was perfect! def would recommend coming here!! read more

Needed a late night meal and tried this place being one of the few only open. Grabbed the lobster roll with fries and onion rings. Delicious lobster rolls! Truly a fresh flavor I have not experienced living in DC. Did not try the other meals there. Fries and onion rings were cool, nothing to rave home about. Great service and friendly for our large party. read more

Food here is Awesome! It's expensive by my standards, more so because we order alcoholic drinks. The food though, is pretty Amazing!!! We don't go there as often as we'd like, just because they measure their "booze" so it's overpriced. If they were more generous with their pours, I'd frequent more often. Their food is so good, they still get 4 stars!! read more

When you first walk in you are greeted with the wafting aroma of seafood that has turned sour. We were escorted to a table that had about five flies swarming around it. I do understand that this is a seafood establishment and that there will be occasional flies, however there were far too many to start with. When my meal came there were more flies to tend with. I spent more time swatting the flies away than enjoying my meal. THE MENU: Looked like it was written by a cat with ADHD tripping on acid. They need to keep it simple and stop trying to do Asian/Thai/Cajun seafood badly. Find a theme and stick to it. Don't offer 100 dishes, and half ass those 100. I am not blasting the cooks, it's the owners downfall thinking that this is normal to be offering this kind of overwhelming assortment. This restaurant is located on waterfront property in Plymouth, Massachusetts, so if you have specials with lobster and steamers, DO NOT put it on the same menu with the desserts. People will see the dessert side and think this is the menu to consider after you have finished eating the main meal. Today I unfortunately settled for something else besides what I really wanted because I never thought about investigating the dessert menu more closely. Why would I investigate the dessert menu for the main meal? That makes absolutely no sense! This place will survive because location. I don't want to settle for a place like this, especially when paying the exorbitant prices for meals I could have cooked better at home. (Again, not the cooks fault; look at the menu) CONCLUSION: There are too many restaurants out there that offer a streamlined linear thought process with a set theme and creative culinary experience. The Cabby Shack offers food with literally a side order of flies, nothing creative or interesting here. Too expensive for what they offer. We will not be returning. read more

So far this review is solely based upon my Friday afternoon experience in October in which I had gone in happily anticipating the Tuna 3 ways offered on the menu. Sadly I was disappointed to find out that this was "unavailable". I actually work locally and had been eyeballing that for so long however my lunch break never was long enough for me to get over to order. I was able on a Friday afternoon and couldn't have been more excited (HUGE Tuna fan). My 3 stars is based on the view and nice server alone however the anticipation and let down unfortunately affected my overall experience. The salad I had was seasoned well so I hope to return another time; but will call first to make sure what I really want is available . read more

Clam chowder: Excellent All other food: Ok Service: Super Slow! 3 stars is one of the most accurate averages with this many reviews as I have seen. Kind of run down and other groups very unhappy with service while we were there today. Plan to wait a long time for your drinks and food. read more

I don't think they serve booze on Mondays. Either that or they forgot to add it to my drinks. Weakest drinks I've ever had. The shark tank tasted like blue raspberry sugar water. And the strawberry mojito was strawberry and lime sprite. No rum could be tasted or felt in either. Food was acceptable. Clam chowder passed the test, but has room for improvement. Fried clams were clams and fried. Nachos were impressive and tasted great. Nice even distribution of cheese and toppings. read more

The clam chowder is the best I have ever had, it will not disappoint! I can't speak for any of the other items on the menu, but if the chowder is an indication of the other food... read more

The location for this restaurant is fantastic. I was looking forward to a cup of clam chowder but ended up with a cup of clam pudding. I have never had such thick chowder before. The flavor was good but I would never order it again because of the consistency. The Mexican corn appetizer had more cheese in it than anything and the cheese was very bland. There was nothing Mexican about it except for a few small pieces of jalapeño pepper. Maybe if they added some lime juice and chilies or chili powder they could have achieved their goal of Mexican corn. The seafood casserole was excellent. The service was average, we witnessed one table where people kept sitting down and not getting waited on and got up and left. Our waitress probably hated her job. read more

We stopped by for an evening dinner and did not leave disappointed. My wife had the seafood casserole, and I had the drunken fishermen stew. Both were satisfying and delicious! They have a large menu for seafood lovers plus sandwiches, salads, and burgers. Totally recommend our meals with a tap beer. Special mention and a thank you to our server Callie. read more

First, came here with my mom, aunt, and wife on a Monday to do the tourist thing. Monday happens to be buy one get one free pizza day here at the Cabby Shack. The location is great, on the water, with a nice outdoor patio, double deck outside seating with umbrellas on each of the tables that isn't covered by an awning. The pizzas here are traditional and seafood based and they run about $11-$14 each. So for less than $30, we got 4 pizzas which ended up with us taking home a decent amount of leftovers from lunch. Each pizza is about 8-10 inches in size. Overall, the crusts are like pie crusts on the pizza, the scallop and bacon one is pretty awesome, by far our favorite. The Clam Chowder pizza was something we would have again as well. We went for the potato pizza, but honestly, that one would be a pass the next time, not as good as the other two. The service here was nice, and the tables were clean. Sitting outdoors and eating pizza on a warm afternoon overlooking the water was a really nice touch. I will probably be back if I come through here with other relatives to sightsee. read more

I don't know how this place isn't 5 stars. I've just moved here 6 months ago and have been to eat here probably more than 10 times. Their clam chowder is the best I've ever had and I've tried various items on the menu and never had a bad dish. I've even had new entrees on their newest menu and was impressed once again. Super tasty! The prices are really reasonable too for the portions. Also- If you go to a seafood restaurant and order pizza.... Maybe don't have the highest expectations when they're known for seafood. Go here, go here, go here! I'm so happy I'm a local here now and can go all the time. read more

We have been to the Cabby Shack quite a few times, but after today's experience will not be going back! The chowder was fantastic and our server was great but that's the only good things I can say. We always split the 1/2 size captains platter and aren't able to finish it. Today however, when we got it, it literally had 3 scallops, 3 clams, a small piece of fish and 4 pieces of shrimp! We ordered something else, I got the coconut shrimp appetizer and my husband ordered the lobster roll. The coconut shrimp was overcooked to the point of being unbeatable, but the lobster roll was great. When the server showed the shrimp to the chef, he admitted they were over cooked. Then why serve them??? The manager had an "I don't really give a shit attitude." We were surprised at how many open tables there were when we arrived, I guess we know now. What a disappointmen! read more
