as you would expect..... just done better!!!! we had the lobster roles and wer NOT disappointed!!!! read more

It's a very noisy restaurant and bar. My guest and I sat on the porch. I ordered my favorite Kendall Jackson, Chardonnay, and a stuffed Quahog and a cup of lobster bisque. My guest ordered a quahog and a fish sandwich. Our server, Mia, asked if she would like fries or coleslaw with that my guest ordered the sweet potato fries. I sent back the Kendall Jackson because it was served in a plastic glass. There is no taste to a fine wine in plastic. I also sent back my stuffed coho which was piled high with deep fried breadcrumbs and the meat inside had absolutely no flavor. I've been eating quahogs in Falmouth for more than 50 years. The true coho takes the muscle out of the shell chopped it up. Add some spices little salt, little pepper breadcrumbs, put that mixture back into the shell and under a broiler for maybe 23 minutes Never have I seen a stuffed quahog DEEP FRIED. When I mentioned this to Mia, she said well we don't have a kitchen. How can you call yourself a restaurant and not have a kitchen. Many of the bars don't have a kitchen per se but they put the coho hog under a toaster oven I wouldn't go back. read more

Good vibe. Decent food + steamers were great. Drinks were solid, nothing special. Excellent service.

Very good chowder. Local favorite. Attentive service. Patio seating with small view of harbor. Limited parking. Good for evening entertainment. read more

Falmouth Raw Bar delivered exactly the experience that you would expect on Cape Cod on the 4th of July weekend: great drinks, local seafood, friendly service, and live music. Our waitress could not have been better, and another server stepped in when she got too busy to help us. Great spot! read more

This restaurant is very live. Telling from their pictures on the wall, they go crazy at night lol came here a little before dinner time started. There was a young girl setting up to do a live music performance. Sadly it was raining the day we came or else it would have been a nice dined in experience. By the water with live music, can't go wrong with that. Service was really good. Our waitress was pretty helpful. She was nice and attentive. Food wise? It was ok. My wife had their $40 lobster roll (small. I think they have a bigger option called the Monstah roll). Glad we went with the smaller portion. Compare our lobster roll that day to other reviewers , there was barely lobster meat. It was mixed with so much fillings that made it look like a lot. I was so disappointed. It was also lacking so much flavor. My clam chowda was watered down. Didn't have the thick consistency. Had to add salt and pepper. Fried fish platter was decent. They give you 2-3 huge pieces of fried fish. It was very thin but I loved the batter coating on it. Lots of fries underneath. Overall, food was ok but this place seems like a dive bar where you go and have drinks and party lol If I was local, I would definitely come here to grab drinks. Food? Probably not. read more

Wow, read recent reviews after we ordered food and before it came and got nervous. It's really too bad that there are such mean people in this world. Our lunch was fabulous! Steamahs for me followed by a tuna burgah. Sheryl had the clam chowdah with a crab cake. Everything was perfect! I asked for the steamers first and burger to come out after and the timing was perfect. I was downing the last one when she presented a perfectly cooked rare tuna burger. I highly recommend this place! Don't judge the book by the bad press. Try it! Life is too short. read more

The Raw Bar located in Falmouth MA in the past was the go to restaurant for the best Lobster Roll on the Cape "The Monsta Lobster Roll". It was "huge", no mayo and mounded with full claws and knuckles Lobster meat. It was sensational Cape experience. I went the other night to order the Monsta Lobster Roll which they now call the Megalodon. I can't express the depth of my disappointment in the Lobster Roll they now serve. The Lobster Roll was miniscule in comparison of their signature Monsta lobster Roll and full of mayonnaise. Wait for it . . . the cost of the Lobster Roll was $68.00! Buyer beware and I recommend that you seek alternative restaurants when looking for your Lobster Roll experience. read more

We had a decent experience at The Raw Bar. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their lobster rolls, the calamari was good, and the lobster bisque was good. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The outdoor seating is nice, although it's more casual with plastic chairs. Overall, it has more of a fun, laid-back bar atmosphere than a fine dining vibe, and we'd come back. read more

Good crowd and good dj. Not overly crowded. Good outdoor area. Tequila soda was $7. Kitchen was closed later in night

the only reason this place gets a 1 is our waitress...she was lovely. otherwise do not waste your money or time . the food was horrible. we had steamed lobster... day old and dry. The butter they use tastes like petroleum waste. not enough salad dressing. the steamers would have been okay except again the butter.. i can not even describe the taste. they got it from a refinery in Texas. the management did not care. do not eat here. read more

Our server was wonderful. The live music was way too loud in such a small place. We moved outside. And placed our order which came promptly. The clam chowder literally was a broth with very few clams and no taste at all. I sent it back. The fish sandwiches, fish tacos and the fried buffalo lobster claws were amazing. After being disappointed with the chowder, I ordered the crabcake which was equally disappointing. Tasting mostly of bread and peppers. We were also quite surprised that everything was served in paper containers. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. read more

Don't waste your money - at least don't get lobster rolls here. We had both the cold and hot rolls (for $45 each) - supposed half-pounds of lobster meat - and there were very few whole pieces of lobster, just shreds and knuckles. The hot lobster tasted burnt and dried out. The cold lobster had tons of mayo. So many more places in Falmouth to get much better ones On the positive side- the service was excellent and the fried fish sandwich was good. read more

Stop in for a quick bite after coming back from MV View was relaxing , service was good ,food was average The one thing that was really disturbing was one of the hostess had shorts on that were so short that her butt cheeks were totally visible. There are many families that go to that establishment along with elderly people and it's very inappropriate for an establishment to allow their staff to dress as this young lady was dressed.. I totally understand that times have changed however in the workplace, I don't feel that we need to be looking at somebody's butt while we're eating !!!! FRB do better read more

So very disappointing.....starting with the guy at the host desk who indicated he would "check" to see if he had a table (place was about 50% full).....lobster night required you to buy a beverage to get the special.....drinks were horrible.....literally the worst.....service was also sub-par.....and the lobsters were small.....just a very, very disappointing experience and we will not be going back! read more

I had lunch with a friend yesterday When I received my check I paid in cash and did not receive my change (not bills). This happened to me last year and I was told " we do not do change" When I spoke to the manager he acted like he knew nothing about it. I told him I was going to report them to the Labor Board Unethical or illegal.? Boy they have their nerve read more

Kinda expensive place but vibes are totally chill. Fun music for the younger crowd and just a fun place to sit and view the boats. They have different events to if you are looking for something fun. read more

Falmouth Raw Bar - Outdoor view - Seafood Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

Yesterday I went here and the dish with 2 oysters, 2 jumbo shrimp and 2 clams was severely underwhelming. The shrimp were just tossed in the ice water dish, the smallest oysters I have ever seen with shards of shell in them and clams with more sand in them than the beach. Do not recommend read more

Best steamers in Falmouth. Outdoor seating overlooking harbor. Quick service. Make sure you ask the hostesses about parking out front so you don't get towed. Live music!!! read more

Ambiance is the main driver for this place. Great view of the harbor and cool vibe at the bar. Food is pretty good. Service was good and attentive. read more

A casual, good food with outside patio of the harbor. The servers were hustling around as this establishment fills up quickly. My party of three was quite impressed with the delicious food of teriyaki salmon, clam chowda, scallop roll, oysters and tasty mixed drinks. Falmouth Raw Bar has night activities for the younger crowd, (great for tourist to enjoy some Cape fun) I would recommend Falmouth Raw Bar to anyone; plenty of parking in their lot. Enjoy the day at the beach and venture to the Falmouth Raw Bar to quench your thirst of Capes local Cape Cod Beer, Blonde is my favorite. read more

Unimpressive for a place that has won best raw bar awards. The service was wonderful, so that was a bright point. There's not much ambiance here, definitely a casual vibe. But I go to a raw bar for good seafood. That wasn't something I got here. The oysters came out, they were all askew, so there was no oyster liquor left as a result. Small oysters, that's fine I guess, but then there wasn't much flavor to them, unless you used cocktail sauce, lemon, and/or horseradish. That was the theme here. The monstah lobstah? Doesn't come in hot buttered, just tasteless mayo cold salad. I also have to think it's rock lobster being used, what with it lacking succulence. The bisque had the same type of lobster and maybe was heavy on the sherry as it was dark and thick with a alcohol taste. Lastly, the jumbo shrimp cocktail. I'll give it to them they were probably 16/20 size, but these also were flavorless and ended up just being cocktail sauce vehicles rather than enjoyable on their own. I know it's a couple days until May, but maybe don't open the season until you can get quality, fresh, seafood that allows the restaurant to live up to the best of moniker? read more

The food was not bad, the service was good and the Ambiance was nice on the back deck. With so many other options locally I would pick another. Be ready for paper plates and paper bowels. The chowder was great. read more

Ok so I'm a big rawbar fan. However tonight at the cash bar at the deck I bought three high noons. After my purchase the bartenders friend grabbed my high noon off of the bar and poured herself a small glass and followed it with "just a little bit" then handed it back to me. I payed for that high noon. Absolutely absurd service. This bar needs a service training DESPERATELY. So unacceptable I'm mortified. I did take the high noon back and drink the rest of it but still beyond unacceptable. It was also a pineapple high noon (my favorite). It was about two sips worth. That girl owes me two sips. read more

Service & deck dining view fantastic, food terrible. We are New Englanders with many years of seafood dining behind us and 30+ years on the Cape. We headed over on a Monday evening anticipating the chef wouldn't be super busy & our meals may reflect that. Both my husband & I ordered the fried scallop plate-the worst scallops we have ever had. The batter was thick, almost the consistency you'd see on a fish & chips basket, the scallops were so dry it required a sip after every bite and had a strange taste, tough to describe. The cole slaw container was the size of a shot glass and I think they pre-plate the fries then add on whatever seafood people order as they were ice cold when we received them. We ordered a bowl of chowder to split which was Ok (for $11) but came in what looked like a cup but we were assured it was their bowl. It had very FEW clams, mostly potato w/fish flavored broth. Drinks were good but expensive. We absolutely do not hesitate to spend money on good food but this was ridiculously bad. Our server was very sweet and accommodating. read more

50 cent wing specials on Sundays during the football game. Except that by kick-off time they were sold out of wing. Disappointing. This is THE bar on the harbor, and it was quite lively with the boating and motorcycle crowds. Good breeze and outdoor seating, under an awning so you don't fry. But service is very pleasant, but the food was bland. read more

Poor service and food quality pales in comparison to the other establishments. Website & seasonal operations hrs are not correct. read more

Omg what an amazing lunch. My husband, who cannot be kept from whole belly clams under any circumstance, walked right into Falmouth Raw Bar, where we were immediately seated in a lovely spot on the balcony overlooking the boats and marinas. Our server, Rachel, was receptive, efficient and delightful all the way through. Even though I was at a raw bar, we'd been eating seafood all week, and the Greek burger caught my eye. Rachel said it was the first day they were serving it, and she'd love to know my thoughts. My thoughts are....I couldn't put this thing down! This gigantic, tender piece of beef came with a fresh slice of tomato, 3 healthy cucumber slices, delicious tzatziki (I was concerned that it might be a little flavorless, but no! Lots of flavor!)!and feta on top. Between the flavor of the charbroiled burger and the feta/tzatziki and fresh veggies, omg, YUM. My husband said the Whole belly clams were amazing, tender and delicious. A winner all around, you.should.go. read more

Some like it raw. The Falmouth Raw Bar has its eccentric charms, from its pair of pirate statues, its mermaid logo, its oceanic murals in its dining room, to the fake shark hanging over its bar. It's more well-known for its entertainment, karaoke nights and contests. Its season usually goes from Memorial to Labor Day- tho this year it was lengthened. The fish tacos ($14) were OK. The salsa was fresh. However, their lobster roll (about $15) is one of the better lobster rolls around. No wonder a customer from Newburyport asked for it to be specially packaged for him to take home (and they obliged) The service is somewhat slow. In the summertime, there are great views of Falmouth Harbor&Marina for outdoor dining. The views are priceless, watching the Island Queen ferry and the various boats and yachts. Pleasant. read more

Atmosphere is great ! Drinks were also great. Food was ok. Got clam chowder and found two clams in the small 7.00 cup. The steamers were 28.00 for 2lbs. If you see the photo the bellies were falling apart and mushy. It is not a two $$ place. It's more a 3 for $$ Fare. So over priced. Food is food ! It wasn't anything special. read more

Not a big fan of all the pictures on the wall. The food though was good. Service was amazing.

Amazing experience - From the time we entered on a Labor Day holiday all the way thru EXCELLENT ! Service by Tabitha and the generosity and kindness of the staff generally was extraordinary! The manager clearly has her eye on her team and works hard to support them. The food is really also very good ! Well done - see you again soon ! read more

Perfectly good crab cake and fried clams. Friendly server, fabulous view of marina, personal osprey.

I was looking forward to eating here. The Pats we're playing a home game as we sat down. The 5 items i wanted 4 where out. How do you run a restaurant when your Menu is half out of stock. we got the fish & chips if your a sea food restaurant, which they are can you screw that up? well they did fish was like they took it out of the freezer and warmed it up. the chip were wimpy and not hot. I had a margarita and it tasted like they dumped the whole salt shaker in the drink. ill never go back !!! go to the Land Fall Restaurant in Woods Hole for the best sea food/atmosphere. They Dog friendly too. read more

Great spot along Falmouth Harbor, right across from the Island Queen. Great seasonal joint w a decent size menu and great drinks and entertainment at night. They do a killer steak n cheese egg rolls as well as a delicious chicken sandwich(I have a shellfish allergy, go figure!). My friends and family love their seafood and the kitchen staff seems pretty top notch. They got a jukebox and a great patio for Harbor side dining. Prices are pretty good to for the area. All cans and mix and frozen drinks. No draft beer. Better vibe and crowd than Boat House. Cape Cod local band favorites Flydown every Wednesday night and a dj on weekends during the season. Always plenty of staff and attentive for the most part. All chicks working which is what bring in the money and the crowd and they do great. Definitely a regular spot to hit up. read more

The ONLY this restaurant is receiving one star is because of their help. They are caught in the middle between management, the chef and the customer. We just experienced the WORST experience; however, the Manager did comp the entire meal, as he should have! They are named "The Raw Bar" for a reason. Today, they didn't have calamari (fried), little necks, crab cakes, and Ahi Tuna. Ok, it happens! The waitress took our order, which consisted of a spicy lobster salad. She suggested we order a fried platter, in place of the calamari (however, it did not have calamari in it) as it would feed all five of us! We ordered a second round of beers, and one of them was warm. When I brought it to the bar to ask for another "cold" beer in it's place....I was told they were out of the beer! I asked to speak to the manager. The bartender said there wasn't any on the premises, which I found very difficult to understand on a Sunday afternoon on the Cape! I explained I was not angry with her but needed to speak with someone above her. She told me she could take my name and phone number, and he would call me - to which I told her if he didn't I will hunt him down! At that moment, a customer stood up and began to question me....I did loose it, and told her to sit down and mind her own business. In the meantime, the people I was with at the table were told the spicy lobster was not available as the chef refused to make it, and the fried platter came out - it would have fed one person - it was sent back! At that moment, miraculously, the manager appeared. He ended up comping the entire meal. We did leave the waitress a tip, and I personally spoke with her on the way out to let her know it was NOT her fault. We will NEVER go back! read more
