He got the medium clam strips (weirdo). I got the small bellies and we shared the small onion rings. They were lightly battered, cooked perfectly. The taste was fresh and delicious. You could tell the oil was clean and they drained the grease before loading the boats.. As you can see by the picture, the portions were generous, we ended up taking a good amount home. Great value for the money. read more

Kream N' Kone Restaurant - Clams and rings - Seafood Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

This is a very casual restaurant where you just go up to a counter and order and then pick up your food. Think of a local captain D's. We got the 2 way basket with fish and oysters. I love that it comes with fries and onion rings. I thought everything tasted good, the tartar sauce could be better but overall everything was fine. Not a place I would look to for any type of date or outing with friends. This is a spot to just fill your stomach with seafood and not have to tip a waiter. Overall I would come back, just so I wouldn't spend a fortune going out in Chatham. read more

If you follow my reviews you can see that I've been coming every summer for 5 years to this location and always raved about it. Came back today and was so disappointed. I had heard that quality went down but I didn't want to believe it, but sadly true. I got the clam strips, belly clams, clam chowder, & coleslaw .. everything BLAND Clams were lightly battered and were just ok nothing to rave about. Coleslaw had no flavor - tried adding salt and you can't fix coleslaw it needs to be seasoned when you're making it with sugar, salt etc. Clam chowder consistency was fine but again so bland and the clam pieces were chewy - kept having to spit them out. Sadly will need to find a new go-to clam spot in the cape because it's just not worth the drive to go here anymore. The staff is always so friendly and attentive though read more

Perfect on this cold, rainy Spring Sunday afternoon. Hubby got the whole clam plate special, I opted for a side of shrimp and and orange creamsicle frappe. Everything was perfect! All golden and crispy and just right. Fresh is best, and attitude makes the difference. read more

Typical beach town offerings, with very quick service and plenty of indoor and outside seating. Menu is heavy on seafood, mainly fried, but they also have burgers and chicken options. We ordered by phone both times and it was ready when we arrived (even earlier than promised). The place is a throwback to the 70s, wood paneling and scuffed floors, with a very casual and relaxed feel. Prices are decent and the food quality was good. read more

Kream N' Kone absolutely lived up to its local reputation on my visit. The seafood tasted incredibly **fresh**, and every dish came out hot, crisp, and well seasoned. From the first bite, it was clear they use quality ingredients and take care with their frying--nothing greasy, just light, crunchy coating that let the flavor of the seafood shine through. Portions were generous without feeling over-the-top, making it easy to share and still leave satisfied. The clam strips at Kream N' Kone were a standout--tender, perfectly breaded, and fried to that ideal golden crisp without being oily. Paired with their cocktail sauce, which packs a fantastic tingling kick from the horseradish, it elevated the whole basket to something special. That bold, zesty sauce cut through the richness just right, making each bite addictive and fresh-tasting. read more

Have been enjoying K N' K in Chatham for decades. Visit multiple times every year. We like to share the meals as there is a lot of food, especially the combo platters. Scallops and fried clams are excellent. Best fish sandwich on the Cape. Chowder is average but just about everything else is great. Get the old school grilled burgers for a change of pace. Onion rings are thin and delicious. Service is typically excellent. read more

The fried seafood plates are great. The fish is fresh and delicious. Also, if you are gluten free, you can order your fish to be gluten free after 4pm. I had gluten free fried clams, they were the best I've had on the cape!! If you want ice cream for dessert, it's right there, and the ice cream is good too! I highly recommend this place and make sure you go to the one in chatham, this review is based on the chatham site. read more

Fried seafood is very good and well priced. Only negative is the loud music they play over tin can speakers. Very annoying

LOVE Kreme N' Kone in Chatham,MA Their food is always fresh!! The fried fish is crispy. The service is always friendly. Love that they reopen in February! read more

Still the best fried seafood on the Cape, if not the planet! My first and best childhood memories of summer vacations on Cape Cod in the 70's always involve meals at Kream N' Kone. Perfect fried clams, delicious chowder, crispy onion rings and a soft serve hot fudge sundae...The Cape on a plate! The local kids always provide fast, friendly service, busy or not, and the ambiance hasn't changed in 50 years - clean and happy. I live in California now, and whenever I visit K&K is always my first and last stop. read more

The service we had was great,but I'll admit-we've had better experiences with staff there.The food didn't take as long as we thought it would,which was a surprise.But the other people around us could careless about their volume-which is why I only gave Kream N Kone four stars.We'll most likely be coming back! read more

What a great hole in the wall spot! A hidden seafood gem. The retro vibe really makes the place. Love the original decor of the restaurant. Ordered a fish sandwich, fried clams, fries and two wraps - one of which was the Cajun shrimp. Absolutely amazing! The fried clams were unreal!! Everything was fresh. Loved the entire meal. Looking forward to returning back on my next Cape cod trip. read more

No thrills, but one of my favorite places to eat on the cape. Scallops and clams for the win!

Loved the fish and chips with onion rings. The Mocha frappe was the best! The service was very fast also, will come again. read more

Enjoyed a Fresh crispy clam strip plate. Onion rings AND fries on the side. Excellent lunch. Friendly service. Loved it!

Very good fried, broiled seafood. Love the onion rings. Fish is always fresh. Fried shrimp favorite but love their full belly clams when I can afford them. Fairly priced. Ambiance is average. No table service. Order from the counter and pick up when your number is called. read more

Greasy seafood restaurant in Chatham. The building is old, but clean inside. Outdoor and indoor seating. You place your order and pick it up and eat at your table or take it to go. We ordered calamari platter and it was a huge heaping mound of French fries, onion rings and calamari. They were all drenched in oil and just unappealing. The oil was dripping off of everything. The mound probably weighed a few pounds. The restaurant was dead, only a couple people there for lunch. Employees were very nice. The prices on the menus displayed reflect a cash price, credit card use cost an additional 3%. read more

Food: if you want greasy fried food- this is the place. Recommend the wraps. Do not recommend the fish and chips. The scallops are excellent. The biggest disappointment was the lack of wheelchair friendly seating. There is none though the ramp to get in is excellent. The service is friendly and helpful. read more

We had onion rings, clam strips, scallops and Cole slaw. The onion rings were too thin and small. The clam strips and scallops were good. The Cole slaw had way too much mayonnaise. The service was good but it took a long time to get our food. read more

If you're on the Cape and looking for good clam strips, this is the spot!! These clam strips never give me a stomach ache! I get them every year and they're always great. I suggest the large side opposed to the platter, as the platter (see pic) is half onion rings which I didn't really need. Tip: ask for extra tartar sauce! read more

My family and I went to this restaurant last night before the Chatham A's game. My dad and I ordered the Fried Clam basket with onion rings and fries. They were the best fried clams that I have ever had! So good! My brother, his wife and my mom all got the lobster roll. They all liked theirs. My nephew had a hot dog and he liked it. Overall, we would go back and give it an 9 out of 10. read more

This is not waterfront dining, but in my opinion the best fried seafood on Cape Cod is found here. My wife and I have eaten here several times in the past couple of years and the food has always been fresh, cooked just right, and generous portions. Many other restaurants lack this high level of consistency. My personal favorites here are the fried whole belly clams, scallops, and fish--always tender and flaky, with a light, crispy batter that melts in your mouth--and their tartar sauce is among the best I've had. I love the fish sandwich, where the piece of fish is always way bigger than the bun. I also love the clam chowder, which is always full of clams and flavor. Prices are reasonable. I especially like how they provide different price points for small, medium, and large sizes. Even the small size is often enough to satisfy my craven for delicious fried seafood! They also feature a daily special sent to your email inbox if you sign up for it. read more

Stopped in for Supper Saturday night. Service was excellent and food was as delicious as ever. We got the Fisherman's Platter. There was a heaping helping of fries and open string to accompany the plentiful fried fish, sea scallops, whole belly clamps and shrimps. They were all very good quality and tasted great. Nice home made tartar sauce. The picnic tables available for outside dining were very good condition and quality. read more

Kream N' Kone Restaurant - Fisherman's Platter - Seafood Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

HUGE portions of delicious fried seafood. They offer all kinds of stuff - whole belly clams, clam strips, oysters, calamari, scallops, you name it. The plates come with fries and onion rings. The onion rings had a good crunch to them, the fries were soggy in my experience. I also didn't need both, and wouldn't have minded the ability to swap one for a green vegetable on the side. I wish they offered a mixed platter, but you can hack it together by doing a two or three item plate, then adding a few others a la carte. My favorites were the scallops and oysters. Don't skimp on either! read more

My wife had scallops which she loved and whole clams that she thought were just ok. I got a double hamburger which was absolutely amazing! The onion rings are the best on the Cape. Typical Cape Cod pricing but certainly not outrageous. read more

Thumbs down. We did not like this place at all. The lobster roll was gross and had a tinny flavor to it. I don't think I've ever thrown a lobster roll away but I did here. It was the worst lobster roll I've ever had. The vibes are sad and the place feels depressing. read more

Best fried clams and onion rings ever! I have not had any better on Cape Cod! I will be sad when they close for the season.

The best gem in the cape! great food to grab while you are there. The prices are excellent, plenty of seating and good service!

"Kreme and Kone?" I thought, how good can this place be? It is highly touted on the radio waves and by personal friends recommendations but the reality of greatness was unknown. I mean, eating seafood down the Cape was a big part of my childhood so I had pretty high expectations. I would say that Kreme and Kone lived up to the hype for sure. When stuck with the quandary of where to go for dinner with a family of five, the easy answer is an order-at-the-counter restaurant that is no frills and has a local vibe. We ordered at the counter, selected seating, and waited briefly for our orders to be up/our numbers to be called so we could retrieve the yumminess. Not a huge fried food or even seafood person for that matter I must say that I was impressed with the light batter/breading enveloping the seafood. Also, the seafood tasted fresh and not frozen which is important. The size of our meal was gargantuan--we ordered the Captain's Seafood Platter for two and let me tell you there was probably enough seafood to feed four people. We took nearly half of it home so be enjoyed the next day (after being heated up in the oven). I was glad there were options for kids, picky eaters, and non-seafood lovers as well. We did not try the ice cream but I was delighted they serve frappes there.for those of you that didn't grow up in NE a frappe is a milkshake made with ice cream . Yes, what most of you probably refer as a "milkshake". It's ok that you're doing it wrong, you are just not in-the-know and society is to blame. Also, while I am on my soap box, please don't call ice cream sprinkles "sprinkles", they are "jimmies. Get with the program :-P If you are in the area and looking for a casual dining option Kreme and Kone is where its at. read more

I've frequented several similar eateries while vacationing and this one has clearly been the best one. If you're looking for an informal setting for very fresh seafood than this would be my recommendation. P. S. Don't forget to sample the onion rings - da bomb. read more

Kream N' Kone is wonderful I can't even explain on how great the workers do and how kind they are. The food is amazing but after food I usually get ice cream and they have so many different flavors. This is one of my go to spots because they are so awesome and the food is great!! 5 stars, thank you so much Kream N' Kone. read more

Delicious! I had a hankering for fried clams and this place was one of the only ones open in October. I will say it again: delicious! Ordered a two combos: one with clam bellies and one with fried clam strips, along with orders of onion rings and fries. I'd recommend the onion rings over the fries only because the onion rings are thin and crispy, which is harder to find. The coleslaw is decent as well. Cream based, but not soggy. Well done. Ordered and ate in the restaurant, but the to-go packaging is handy for a quick take out on a run to the beach. The restaurant atmosphere is more fast food than casual dining, but it certainly hit the nail on the head for my hankering. Not cheap, but worth it. read more

True confessions: I prefer a few other fried seafood places in Dennis and Brewster and Hyannis. But when in Chatham, Kream N' Kone does the job. We had a large group of 8 this past Saturday of Memorial Weekend. After a busy day of tennis and biking and beach walking, no one wanted to cook. A quick call in to Kream N' Kone for take out. Ready in less than a half hour for eating on our own house deck. With our stash of soft drinks and beers already chilling. One person who truly avoids fried food had a delicious broiled fish and salad. The rest of us went for it. Fried shrimp, clams, whole belly clams, scallops, fish n chips. All the platters come with bountiful mounds of fried and onion rings. While I am always a whole belly clams fan, must say I was quite impressed with the scallops too. A lot of food. Everyone should over do it with Cape Cod fried seafood at least twice a summer. K N' K was super for our large group take out feast. read more
