    We had a great time at Elwood's twice this week. No wait, just come in and order at the counter - they'll bring it to your chosen table. We had Dennis, Chatham and Yarmouth oysters - each unique in their own way and PROPERLY shucked. High points: - Wine list: a small, well curated BTG list with perfect wines for oysters: Sancerre, Chablis, Muscadet, Gavi etc. as well as sake and some sparkling- we opted for the Chablis. - A rotating stable of local oysters: the owner, Dave was kind enough to stop by and tell us how the menu works. There will always be Chatham oysters on the menu, we had Dennis and Brewster today. - While raw oysters are the star of the show, clam chowder is excellent, so are the clams with garlic, white wine and Parmesan. -A kind of cool and relaxed vibe is set by the freewheeling music here. I hope they continue to thrive and are definitely worth of the five stars. I can't wait to come back next time I'm here!

    Lobster Roll

    Great new(ish) addition to town! Quick, casual, the lobster roll is great, the owners are friendly and personable, and for the midwesterners, they actually have Schlitz! We opted to sit outside at the barrel tables, as inside was a little loud. If you're looking for a quick spot to grab oysters or a lobster roll, I highly recommend checking it out!

    Great oysters. Great service. Lobster slider perfect. Highly recommend for laid back raw bar

    Selection of oysters

    Amazing food with wonderful service. We enjoyed different types of oysters, a lobster slider, smoked bluefish dip and a cheese board. The wine list was excellent for a small business. You must stop by if you are in the area!

    What a find! Elwood's has some of the best oysters and the best lobster roll we've had in Chatham. Not to mention the great wine and beer selection. The staff and owner are so friendly, and we can't imagine a better place to spend a Saturday afternoon (or really, any summer afternoon). Could not recommend this place more.

    Raw Oysters

    Their Grilled Bourbon Chipotle, the Sriracha Lime oysters, the Wellfleet raw oysters, the sizzling clams some of my favorites. I tried all of their oysters, delicious. Food was fresh, clean, service was excellent, food was well presented, easy parking, the atmosphere /vibe was so vibrant. This is a wonderful place, a terrific addition to the area. They even had a hotdog for the Lil' Shucker. I loved it!!! Johanna Burke

    What a gem of a restaurant! It's more of an experience though with the collective of music, fantastic drinks and out of this world food! They also have cool wall art for sale as well as a layout made for entertaining. I highly recommend! A+

    Amazing raw bar! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious!! The space is awesome. The owner, David, and his wife, Sarah, are super friendly and welcoming! If you're in the area this is a must try! High, high recommend.

    This place was a bit confusing at first because it has two different entrances--one for the bar and…read moreone for the restaurant. We started on the bar side, which was extremely busy and we couldn't find a seat for about 30 minutes. The only downside is that seating is first come, first serve, so you end up hovering around tables waiting for people to leave, which wasn't ideal. We eventually got frustrated and went next door. Even though they're separate, the bar and restaurant are connected, so you can easily walk between the two. We ended up having an amazing meal at the restaurant side, so it was definitely worth switching over. I highly recommend the lobster roll. I'm giving 4 stars mainly because of the experience on the bar side.

    I was super excited to try this place, but was honestly a bit disappointed with how it turned out…read more For starters, it was extremely loud, and it was pretty hard to hear the people I was sitting with. Additionally, the bathroom was dirty and tiny. And finally, the my food wasn't great. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap, and was super disappointed. The wrap was too wet, the chicken had no seasoning and was ice cold, and the lettuce was extremely moist and slimy. It just didn't taste fresh. Also very little Caesar dressing. The only good thing in my meal were the fries and the pickle. I will say, however, the service was pretty good. Our waitress was super nice and got our food out quickly despite it being packed. They also had a bingo game going which was cool. I would come here for fries and drinks, but not really for the food.

Our waiter, Steve, happens to be the son of the owners. He cooks, does dishes, buses tables and serves as a charismatic waiter. His dedication to his trade shines through. Now, they serve breakfast all day. If you're like me, 24 hour/day breakfast is a big sell. I had the 2-meat breakfast burrito which might very well have been THE best burrito I've ever had.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating but just about everybody there chose the outdoor patio like us. The menu offered both breakfast and lunch items as well as some specials. I went with the Cajun grilled swordfish sandwich and it was delicious. It came with a small bag of Lay's potato chips as a side. French fries, Cole slaw or any other side would have made it better. My husband had the fish and chips, along with cole slaw. He also enjoyed his food.
