Delicious meals served in a rustic coastal restaurant. Love the baked haddock and Lobster BLT is a must try. I enjoy dining outside on their back deck. It's a casual place with great seafood. You order and pay for your food at the register and then have a seat inside or outside and they will bring you your meal. read more

East Wind Lobster and Grille - Lobster BLT - Seafood Near Me - Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts

The kids wanted a traditional lobster dinner. You know - the bibs, crackers the lobster open. Make a mess. We also needed dog friendly. This place was perfect. You order at the counter. Then go sit outside on the big covered deck. They bring you the food when it's ready. There are water views, but you are between 2 bridges so not really anything special to look at. The prices are reasonable. The food came out fast. The food was good read more

The lobster roll (buttered) was amazing- fresh, delicious, and unadulterated and the roll was buttery soft and fresh. We also had onion rings which were deliciously crisp and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Nice outdoor seating with a large patio sunshade . I love this place! read more

East Wind Lobster and Grille - Seafood Near Me - Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts

I was up at Massachusetts Maritime Academy today and it was lunchtime when I stumbled upon this wonderful little eatery. East Wind Lobster and Grill is serving up fresh seafood that is sure to impress even the most discriminating of palates. The lobster rolls are $33, but they are delicious. They serve them with a side of French Fries and a side of coleslaw. The fries were piping hot, crispy and delicious. The coleslaw was very good as well. They also put a couple of house made pickle on the plate for good measure. The hero is definitely the lobster roll. It's piled high with fresh lobster and it's simply amazing. The lightly toasted roll sets the perfect foundation for this incredible sandwich. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I finished the whole platter, it's certainly enough to split between two people. If you're a fan of the lobster roll, check out East Wind Lobster, you'll be glad you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting the local restaurant community! read more

I do not know why the overall rating is so low. Maybe because its a small, old style place without frills or waitstaff. The food and the view of the marina and water are fabulous! We ordered lobster roll, (pricey at $34 but well worth it and cheaper than most on the Cape) steamers (delicously sweet and well purged) and stuffies. Everything was excellent and the people were friendly. I also had my first ever NA sparkling wine, Mionetto, and for an NA it wasnt bad! Prices were much more reasonable than typical Cape pricing as well. If you want fancy sit down place with napkins, this place is not for you. But if you want good solid, well-priced seafood with a bonus view and a outdoor seating option, try this place out! read more

I thought I had posted this review but I hadn't so here it is from a number of weeks ago now. This is what I would call a quintessential "New England seafood shack"..in Buzzards Bay (which is the gateway to Cape Cod. being as it is on the mainland side of the Cape Cod canal)...but don't be turned off by the word "shack". It's actually a sweet and terrific place. Take "shack" to mean casual which this place is. It was only moderately busy the late afternoon we arrived. This is a counter service and "seat yourself" place. Both my husband and I ordered the shrimp tacos after the young woman at the counter recommended them. Once we ordered we found a table and enjoyed waters, a glass of white wine for me and a beer for Tom. The wine came in a plastic cup which is so not ideal but I get it in a place like this where you bus your own table after you have finished. It seemed to be taking quite some time for our food to arrive although we were enjoying our drinks and talking. Suddenly, the woman from the counter came over to us and profusely apologized saying somehow our ticket had been misplaced and the cooks were only then starting on our orders. She then offered us each a cup of soup of our choice as an apology. This was lovely and we took her up on the offer. I am sorry to say at this point I can't remember what we ordered; two types of chowder I believe...Tom and I each ordered something different so we could sample each other's. All I can remember was that we loved the soups. When the shrimp tacos arrived, we had not been steered wrong: they were delicious. Filled with well seasoned shrimp and all the fixings. So yummy. Other things on the menu include lobster rolls, clam cakes, chowders, and other assorted fish items. My understanding is that this is a family run place. It was a great find and if it were closer to where we lived, we would be regulars. read more

I think I'll update my previous review. I may have caught them on a bad night after a busy night in the summer. I called and got some quick takeout from them and it was excellent. read more

A hidden gem off the side of the road. We go here every time we go to the cape. Amazing prices, $5 wine, and you can sit out on the water. Nothing fancy but it's perfect for an afternoon beach dinner or lunch. read more

We had dinner there recently fried scallops and fried clam strips. There were 7 people working behind the counter and we were the only ones in line. They saw us and kept talking until someone finally came over after a few minutes to take our order. Seem like a long wait for fried food, when it finally came we were surprised how small the portions were for what we paid, 8 scallops for $32 and 6 fried clam strips for $20. We were told portions are by weight not quantity, fine if the scallops and clam strips were large but they were not. Food was good, not great. Fries were kinda cheap and greasy. Cole Slaw was good. Extra condiments cost extra, havent seen that before. Sitting on the deck had great views of the water. Not worth the money for the portions and quality, will go somewhere else next time we are in the area... read more

I really can't say enough good things about this place! While in the area, we picked up lobsters and steamers here twice - which were delicious. Also came in twice for fried clams (whole belly) which were delightfully good - sweet and not overly greasy. Very happy to find out that you can sub other sides for the fries - (bakes potato as pictured, but also onion rings, sweet potato fries and other things available). I ordered to go - and there's plenty of space outside to wait until they brought it out (which was very quick- less than 10 minutes). There is a lot of outdoor seating if you wanted to dine there - and a nice view of the marina/water. Will definitely come back here again!! read more

This was a great visit to this stop, a complete change from the last visit here. I had an amazing grilled shrimp taco plate. The seasoning is just exceptional, like nothing I have ever had. I kid you not, these were total perfection. They have remodeled the interior and it really looks exceptional. I wish I had gotten a shot of it, but really with an awesome deck to go out on and exceptional seafood, you totally need to check this place out. read more

I had been on the Cape for a few days and was headed home and hadn't had a chance to enjoy any fried clams during my trip so I planned on stopping at the East Wind on the Bourne bridge round about, well the place was closed , another favorite spot had become a victim of Covid and the labor shortage I assume! :( I Found this "East Wind" Business near by so I tried it. What a disappointment!! The "whole belly" clams were basically clam strips, I barely got the taste of a juicy Cape Cod Clam at all. AND the "large" was barley a handful! Very disappointing! I'll have to wait till next time to get my clams because what I had here may as well have been frozen strips from a super market! The fried shrimp and scallops were ok. Friendly staff, great location and the fresh seafood looked great in the display cooler, but don't waste your time and money on the whole belly clams! read more

I feel very ripped off. I ordered clams with bellies and haddock In a combo. The plate came with 5 bellies and 1 very small piece of haddock. The fries were falling off the plate. For 36 dollars there shoulda been a warning somehow . I don't eat a lot of French fries. Seafood on the cape is a hankering and a large I'll never eat it all Portion. Well the hankering was there. The waiter made it all better by telling me it's portioned by weight! Not my problem but you'll never see me again. The party next to us pulled me aside and told me their portions were small too. I left it and I'm not one to write reviews but they need to change the name of the place to "Fries and some stuff we weighed" read more

Went to dinner with family, the Reuben Cod Sandwich was great. Excellent Captain's platter with fish, Scallops , shrimp & whole belly clams were delicious! Good French fries, side of Cole slaw is good too. Disappointed with the clam chowder which was thin broth & no substance ie clams or potatoes. $7/cup Overall the food was great. Friendly service. Inside & outdoors eating available. read more

I have been here several times and service and quality are consistently very good. Was in tonight and service was fast and friendly. Good choice of options on the menu. Our food came out fast and was delicious. Good portion sizes. Restaurant was clean and well kept. A fun place for a delicious meal. I highly recommend it. read more

wow I bought sea scallops. I bought them from a fish market. I paid top dollar for them. When I got home and put them out to dry I was amazed that the muscle that should be removed was on all of the scallops and some were only scraps. This is a fish market! not the grocery store! a major mistake ! They were not dry , nor advertised as being dry. Fool me once! Never again! Klyers only ! Took a chance . Was burnt! read more

Came with friends who know the place well. Not from these parts, and they knew it. We had to try the whole belly clams. Which we did and so glad we did! Delicious! I did reach for the salt cause I thought it needed it. But they were good. Loved the chowda. I love when it served nice and hot, which it was. My daughter got the lobster roll. She said it was good. I didn't taste it. We shared clams casino, 2.00 each which were just ok. Loved the feel of the restaurant. Mom and pa kinda place, with a fish market that caters for those " to go". I saw great family specials on the board. Fish and chips family style for 35.00. That's gonna be my To go order ! Can't beat that ! All in all a enjoyable meal. read more

Loved this place for years, in our neighborhood and we loved the atmosphere. Dining by the water was a real treat. Lots of boats to look at lots of things to see. unfortunately one of the things we don't see anymore is any good food in this restaurant. You are pretty much guaranteed to get frozen anything here whatever you order is gonna come right out of the freezer. They have absolutely no idea what a seafood stuffing should look like or taste like they use bagged cubed stuffing and rolled up fish fish and that's supposed to be a casserole. The lobster meat is all frozen. I'm not sure about all the fish, but I know the smelts are the only thing I can say left in that restaurant that's good is the coleslaw in the bottled water. I understand cost cutting in all, but man hire a cook read more

This place is a RIP OFF. $32 for a two way combo and it's not even a meal for one person. 4 scallops and 7 whole belly clams. We will never come back here again. read more

My daughter order her Dad cooked Lobsters for Fathers Day. She paid $70 for 3 Lobsters! My husband started shucking them to find 2 of the 3 extremely under cooked. He called and spoke to the owner who told him to just boil the meat...because she didn't want to fix the issue. She was rude and unprofessional and could care less that he was an unhappy customer. Her costumer service doesn't even deserve 1 Star. read more

Yes, it is expensive, turn around if that is a problem. Otherwise, perfectly fried seafood. We loved the haddock, calamari, shrimp and clam strips. Tasty and crunchy coleslaw.

Fantastically fresh seafood in a classic environment. I particularly love the flounder fish and chips. Best quahog stuffies in the area too! Order at the counter, have a seat and enjoy the view. Food is brought to your table. read more

stopped there today with my wife for lunch while in the area. We were looking for a nice seafood place. We were not disappointed. The fish and shrimp tacos were great but the homemade clam chowder was outstanding! Probably the best I have ever tasted and I try the chowder everywhere in the country. I highly recommend East Wind and if in the area again I will surely stop there. The staff was great and extremely friendly as well. read more

This isn't going to be your typical seafood review because, well, I don't like seafood. We found ourselves in Buzzard's Bay for a sporting event and were looking for someplace to eat. It is off-season and we showed up 30 mins before they closed. Yep, we were those people! Anyway we were greeted with friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. The soup of the day was Kale soup and it was absolutely delicious! Burgers and fries were tasty and the beer was cold! Looking forward to stopping back in the summer. read more

First time eating here & we will never return. Arrived at 1:45 on a Saturday. They stated at the time of our order (1 fish & chips and 1 shrimp tacos) that food was taking about 30 minutes. Understandable give it was Labor Day Weekend & they were busy. However, after an hour, I finally went to ask for a status on or food as I had watched several people who sat down after us be served there's. So I was told their "kitchen never got the order". My issue with this is that all of their orders placed on the counter in order of being taken. So if you keep passing by the 1st one in line, wouldn't you question why? I can it happening maybe once or twice given maybe smaller orders could be ready sooner, but it's just ridiculous. I have many years of food service under my belt, both front & back of the house and small to large companies. It's just an unacceptable way of service in my book. The fish was good, the shrimp tacos were over seasoned, making my lips burn from the spice, and did not come with the mango-habanero sauce as listed. The cashier did apologize and gave us 1/2 of our meal in a refund, but bad impressions are hard to shake. The prices were very reasonable and the seafood was fresh, which is at least one redeeming quality. read more

Found this place on yelp when passing through cape cod. Got some good reviews so we decided to try it. Good food but I like the crab cakes to have more meat and less filler. The fish cake had potatoes. They were relatively cheap 3 crab cakes for $5 and one fish for $3. The bowl of lobster bisque was $7. Lobster bisque was very good. Even had some chunks of lobster in it. Very rich and seasoned just right. Was on the water but not much of a view. read more

East Wind Lobster and Grille - a man in a restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts

This was my second time coming here. My first was late September day last year. I had gotten the same meal but with the Lobster bisque on the side which was inedible! This goes back to my other reviews - don't make a classic dish that people have expectations about unless you can really nail it....... I returned this year pushed a bit from a friend that raves about the place. I stuck to the lazy lobster and french fries. The lobster was tender and sweet but the LAZY stuffing on top was awful. It was literally dried breadcrumbs dumped on top with no flavor, butter or anything and then baked and slightly burnt! I like my lazy lobster when the lobster is lazy not anything that goes with it!! I know it is off season but it was still next to dead at 6:30 on a beautiful Sunday night! The counter staff were extremely rude. My friend asked if anything came with the twin lobsters and the girl blurted out butter and then turned to do something else - if you don't' want our business we don't have to give it to you! When we were leaving and walking back through the inside part of the place they were sweeping and had dirt piles everywhere and were acting like we were an inconvenience to them - I like restaurants to be clean but nothing aggravates me more when they are really cleaning when they still have customers. I really wanted to give this place a 4 star just because of the location. It was the perfect night to sit outside by the water. They do have a raw bar outside that was just about closing when we got there. The man tending to it was very nice and friendly. He brought around the leftover shrimp a little-necks if anyone wanted any. read more

We stopped by on our way home form the cape and we had a great meal on their back deck. I had the fried scallops with french fries, cole slaw and tarter sauce. The scallops were very fresh and perfectly cooked. My only compliant was the $22 price for what I got on the plate. They could have at least loaded up on the fries. My wife had the Shore Dinner and the market price was $35. We shared the chowder and it was very good. She loved the steamers but the lobster was a little over cooked. It was expensive but with fresh seafood that's what you learn to expect. We enjoyed sitting on the deck outback. The staff was attentive and obviously working hard. The food came quickly. read more

Pretty sure their fisherman's platter made our whole party sick. Go somewhere else. There are better places to get a yummy lobster roll and fried seafood in this area. The lobster roll was mehh and it was unnecessary expensive. If I pay $30 for a little lobster roll, it better be delicious and this one was not. The location is not cute nor chill. It's just by the highway with a little view of some water. read more

I've been here several times with my wife as we love the area especially the canal and relaxing atmosphere. We usually order the fish and chips or steamed clams which are always good. This visit I asked the cook how large the whole belly clams were which I always do and was told they are mid to large size bellies. Turns out the clams were not only small but resembled clam strips not to mention they were very pricey and the portion was small. Very disappointed and would not recommend their fried clams. read more

Came in on an expired Cape Cod Deal that I purchased for $15, the deal was guaranteed the original $15 of my purchase price and not the $25 worth of food I was to receive if I used it before June30th, 2019. However, the owner said she would not give me anything on it because it was expired. When we were walking out, she change her mind and said she'd give $10. We ordered $45 worrth of food, she took off $10, paid $35. When our meals came out the portions of fish was so small, I believe she did it because she didn't want to honor the $15 discount to begin with. The fish was delicious, however we will not be going back due to her uncaring and disregard for customer care and satisfaction. Stay way unless to like VERY SMALL portions, not worth the expensive tab. read more

Good fried seafood. Quick service. Wasn't impressed with the clam chowder. To much onion, and I guess they used some cheddar cheese? Seemed more like cream of cheddar and onion which masked any flavor of clam. The clam fritters were dense and pretty flavorless. Very limited inside seating though there was a nice big deck and plenty of outdoor seating. read more
