Good beer, better chowder, good lobster roll - it's the off season so not crowded. Probably a zoo during the summer but good worth it. Similar to Monahans in Narragansett. read more

they scammed us for $340. the lobster was so bad it smelt like rotten ass. the people who work there are disgusting and rude. but overall if u want shitty ass overpriced food then definitly get food from here ! read more

It was very good. Enjoyed the lobster roll and clam strips. Fairly priced for that amount of lobster.

Best, lobster rolls on the way to Cape Cod. Our family has been coming here 15 years, every year! Our vacation is not complete without stopping here. $17.99 / roll seems pricey but absolutely the best value. I agree with previous reviewer on down grade for clam chowder so my 5 star rating is for fresh lobster rolls served quickly with good onion rings and fast counter counter service. read more

My friends and I spontaneously drove to the cape from Boston because we were bored. It was a cold wintery night and we were hungry. We stumbled across this seafood shack and decided to check it out. It was super empty because it was in the middle of winter. We ordered a whole lobster to ourselves and fried clams. The fried clams were SO good! Thinking about it makes me drool. It was the first time I ate a whole lobster to myself, so it was cool to learn how to rip one apart. It was super fun and super delicious! I had such a great time here. The staff was really friendly! They even let us hold one of the biggest lobsters that they had in the tank. I would love to come here again if it wasn't so far! Two hours of a car ride I believe. read more

I am surprised this is my first review here. I hate how the commercial lists 'Buzzards Bay' for a location here because it really is Wareham all the way. But I love the spot, and I know some have trouble with the different areas to order depending on what you order, but that's the seafood business and there are lots of spots that do the same. It matters so little when you come, the quality is first rate no matter how you look at it, and certainly the taste confirms it. read more

Went with the Fisherman's Platter. All fried fare. It was all awesome, with samplings of Cod, Scallops, Clams and Shrimp. All fresh. Clam Chowder is tops, in the brothy New England style rather than in the creamy west coast style. Great crew both at the counter and in the kitchen. read more

I give you 4 stars for always pleasing my family. This is my grandparents Sunday lunch spot and occasionally my family will join them on a trip down the cape for lunch. We've always left pleased... most the food is fried but its not that greasy fried crap, its actually good. I can't help it, I always order the clam strip plate because its simply my favorite and usually along with that I order the stuffed quahog. My family gets anything from the fisherman's plate to a tuna roll... and those scallops on the fisher-mans plate are a very decent size. Staff is very friendly and they make sure their tables which are like indoor picnic tables, are clean. They have two counters to order from. Seafood plates, sodas and ice cream on one end, chowder lobsters and beer at the other end. The place is small and not usually too crowded so its no big deal... I've been to other seafood shacks that do the same. Prices are decent, your ordering seafood what more do you expect? Can't wait to go there again next summer. Yum!! read more

We spent 75.00 between the two of us. You would think we got a feast but no, we got: -1 one pound lobster -10 steamers -cup of chowder -fried whole clams and frys -1 stuffed quohog -2 sodas FOR $75.00!!! Thats just outrageous, bonkers, lost your mind mad. And the food was crap, too boot. The chowder was very runny, not creamy in any fashion. It was pretty bland. It did have a ton of clams, but like I said, it was tasteless.It had to the the worst cup of chowder I have had on the cape. The lobster was hard as a rock and the meat was not soft and melt in your mouth. It was more chew like hell and try not to choke when swallowing. The steamers were standard. The didnt give us a lot, about 8-10. The quohog was delicious though! In other words, try other places on the cape. This place has seriously gone down hill over the years and I swear the signs they have all over the place that say 'best on the cape!' are years old. read more

You guys are so right. Like most Phantom picks, they pay to be on the show. The food/portions are better a few hundred yards done the road at Barnacle Bills. Not as glitzy, but a true clam shack. Plus this place has a dumb ordering system. One window for lobster/steamers, one for fried seafood. I waited at the wrong one through a line of people then told to go to the other line. I placed my order and wanted a glass of wine and was told I had to order that at the other window! Arrrggh, I thought I was at the DMV! Food was fine but no great shakes and a hassle to order. read more

The lobster roll was... O.k. Tasted pretty plain and it was tiny. Nothing fancy to see here. The Clam Chowder was... O.k Two Lobster rolls (no sides) and a cup of chowder = $40. Probably should have tried somewhere else but it was ok. Reminded me of the big brother of Captain D's Seafood (fast food chain). read more

Only a two words needed for this place: "TOURIST TRAP". OK: a few more: OVERPRICED AND STINGY!!! Two more: SMALL PORTIONS!!! A fish sammie which was quite a small piece (perhaps 3 ounces) and a LARGE (but tiny!) order of bland rings (small is probably tiny-kid size) came to $13.75 and NO cole slaw. Really: how much does cole slaw cost? I wouldn't be at all surprised is the owner had a 40 boat with the name "eat-up, suckers" in a slip nearby. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Went recently and it's still as good as I remember. Lazy lobster, crab roll, rice pilaf, and coleslaw. I love this place. Nice staff too

Omg! This place is to die, I love the seafood. Great food, clean and owned family business . The owner is so friendly, can't wait to come again. read more

Will never order from here, prices are outrageous. Went to place a order for pick up, called for price on 2 baked stuffed lobster (not dinners, just the lobsters) and was told it would be $126.00! For two! Waaayyy overpriced read more

One of the best lobster rolls I've had hands down. This summer we had company visiting from Paris they don't consume large portions. So we split a lobster roll from here in the evening. The buttery bun was warm, the lobster was cold and well seasoned. We will go back again. read more

I placed a to-go order of fried clam strips. They were prepared quickly and a greasy brown paper bag was handed to me. So greasy, I was reminded of the tv show, Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire when Will would bring home Philly cheese steaks in a grease-soaked bag. Upon opening the bag, it was even more apparent they just threw the strips in without letting them rest. They were greasy and overcooked. They tasted like rubbery fried chicken. This is a place to pass by, not stop in. read more

Excellent Lobster Roll with huge chunks of claw meat. Clam Chowder didn't disappoint, and onion rings thin and crisp ... Loved it, defiantly coming back! good value read more

We eat here every time we head to the cape ! At least 5xs a season. Love food here. One counter for all fried seafood & lobster out of shell. Another counter for steamed lobsters ,oysters ,clams!! At our last visit we got steamed lobster that seamed sort soft & not lot of meat inside. That being said , the lobster was sweet & delicious just not what we're used to. Well as anyone who goes there knows this restaurant is owned by two brothers! They schooled us on how lobsters run this time of year. Some are hard shelled with more meat but not as sweet And a little more chewy. So glad the brothers took the time to explain to us why this occurs. The lobster was fresh as always and tasted fantastic as I said it just wasn't what we were used to!! The lobster pot will always be our go to place whenever we head to Cape Cod These two brothers run a great business with great food and great customer service. We are looking forward to going there again soon read more

We've been relying on Mike Urban and his guide to lobster shacks in New England to lead the way. I think our own sample size is large enough that we can tell what's good and what isn't. This was a disappointment, at least on the lobster roll side. The rolls were fine; the New England split-top, buttered and toasted. The lobster meat was "soggy" and didn't have that succulent, sweet flavor that Miss Mary and I expect in a top-quality lobster roll. The clam chowder was very good, so it saved the stop for me, anyways. Not sure how the other items were; there's a ton of fried clams, fish, scallops. We were headed to the Outer Cape, so the detour really wasn't worth the effort. read more

Great, fresh seafood. Quick service. Clean and friendly. Traditional fried seafood is always a favorite. Consistently good every visit. read more

I have been coming to the Lobster Pot for a few years. It's expensive, but the food is generally good. My last experience has me questioning whether I will come back. Ordered the lobster roll. 19.99 which is high but standard for a Summer place on the Cape. Came packed with lobster but completely devoid of flavor. No flavor at all. I've never had a lobster roll that tasted like nothing. We questioned whether it was previously frozen. Brought this up to what appeared to be a manager and all he could do is say "sorry to hear that". No offer to replace it, take it off the bill, offer anything else. Horrible customer service. Probably will not be back with lots of other choices on the Cape. read more

The food was definitely fast probably because it was pre-packaged. Limp shrimp in the shrimp cocktail, tasted like frozen. Greek salad ok with packaged dressing. Steamers over cooked and chewy. read more

Best lobster roll on the Cape! The owners are fantastic and very friendly. The service and food is also great! For the quality of the lobster the roll the price is expected and fair. If you're in the area and want a real authentic lobster roll go to the Lobster Pot! read more

I got clam strips and clam chowder as always when Im at the Cape. Didnt care for the clam chowder. It was quite watery. I like thicker clam chowder. Flavors werent that great either. The clams werent very big. Mostly batter. I dont think Id choose this place if I were in the area again. read more

While visiting Martha's Vineyard had lunch at the Lobster Pot. We ordered the clam chowder, house lobster, lobster mac and cheese and the fried clam Sandwich. The food was ok. Very little clams in the soup (mostly potatoes) and served Luke warm. The lobster Mac and cheese was all bread and very little lobster, the lobster was ok, the garlic mashed potato was cold, and the clam sandwich also served lukewarm. The fries were not fried when we ordered them. They were sitting there awhile. Nothing was delicious or memorable. Service was ok but for the hefty price of the food and the fact that we eat out all the time, there are better restaurants to eat at. The place may be famous but the food is sub par. We will not be back again. read more

Everything's ok with this place, but not great. Which isn't good enough when taking into account price, location and the competition nearby. Service was ok, but somwhat on the annoyed-rather-than-helpful side when we asked questions about the menu. Lobster roll decent, cooked lobster decent but perhaps slightly overcooked, chowder was good but so are a lot of other chowders in New England. Finally, this place loses to the competition nearby: Eastwind was better. read more

Great fish and chips but quite pricey, also got a cheeseburger deluxe and was tasty but also pricey and didn't come with a side.

Fabulous fresh fish and incredibly fast, friendly services. Fries a bit undergone and they brought a perfectly crispy replacement to the table. Delicious!!! read more

Not not sure what Thomas C problem was I also eat at The Lobster Pot May 30th I had plentiful scallops ocean fresh clam strips five or six large shrimp being a large piece of fish in my seafood platter I rate this place close to the Clam Box in Ipswich better than the Lobster Trap in Bourne and about the same as the lobster Hut in Plymouth Mass read more

Out for a ride today and decided to head south to the Cape. Stopped here as we have in the past and ordered sides instead of dinners. I really don't need the fries. Just the proteins. We oreded a cup of chowder for my wife. It was very, very good. Very deserving of the best chowder on the cape for 2010. We also had an order of shrimp, an order o scallops and an order of whole belly clams. The shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection. The clams were the very small, typically Maine clams this time of year. They were good but seemed a little soggy for some reason. Possibly, they cooked them first before the scallops and shrimp. All in all, I really like this place and stop in whenever I can. They have a commercial on TV for big lobsters. They did have a 6lb one in the tank today and I learned some info about lobsters that I did not know before. I do recommend a stop in here whenever you are in the area. It's fresh, the portions are good and the oil is fresh. read more

Nothing you haven't seen before. Unless you're not from New England, in which case, this might be OK for you. Standard white oak benches with checkered tablecloths. Menu with lots of seafood options. TVs to watch the Red Sox/Patriots. Take out, Lobster tank, men in tank tops that really shouldn't, a madhouse at the ordering counter. The only bonus in their favor is that, unlike 90% of seafood places, they do take credit cards. read more

One star for being on the Cranberry Highway. One star for having seafood. My friend and I were looking for the Lobster Trap and ended up at the Lobster Pot. Apparently, there is a difference of approximately 1.5 stars (according to Yelp). My meal of chicken fingers was fine (P.S. When asked, the guy at the reg. said he recommends the chicken fingers over the fish sticks). My friend had a lobster and thank god it came with instructions and a bib. Overall a bit of a stressful atmosphere -- order numbers called out over the loudspeaker, child screaming in the booth next to us and my friend inadvertently flinging lobster poop. Next time I might try a little harder to find the Lobster Trap... but seriously the Pot's not that bad. read more

Portions and variety: A+ Taste: B+ Prices: C Three things that they could do to drastically improve service: 1.) Free Refills 2.) Offer non-fried alternative dishes, such as the fisherman's platter with baked instead of fried. 3.) Adjust pricing more competitively. $25/plate is too much for fried sea food from the counter without a waiter. read more

I have been here twice. I guess its worth the stop if you like fried seafood. I particularly like their onion rings - not too stringy but not overly breaded so you get great onion taste. The clam chowder seemed to have a strong clam taste to it as if they used clam broth in the mix and while my friend enjoyed it, it was not to my taste. The steamers were ok. The last time i was in they were quite busy and i think understaffed. I had to wait for my steamers for a bit and a table of boys had to ask for their corn on the cob as it took a long time. By the time i had eaten my clam chowder and steamers my friends dinner still had not been cooked so we ended up asking for it to go. It is just before the beginning of the tourist season so not sure if that is commonplace service or just a really bad night. read more

Coming off the Cape on our way home we stopped here for dinner. Typical fried seafood. they claim that they have the best Clam Chowda in New England but there is better. Everyone loved their ice cream too. read more

Visited for dinner on 7/7/18. We ordered a variety of items, including seafood platter-type items, a couple lobsters, chowder, oysters. A big family and we had a lot of variety. The ordering is weird. You have to order some things at one counter and other things at another counter. It was busy, there were lots of people, and that was a bit confusing. The food was all good. The chowder was OK. Not the best ever. Everybody ate and really enjoyed their dinners. It was an expensive meal, but we hadn't made it to the store yet and it was a nice-enough first night on vacation. read more

We bought 2 seafood platers and couldn't believe what you get for $80.00. The portions are small, not worth the money. The clams with bellies were skimpy almost like all necks. We got a side order of onion rings which were dripping in grease. We bought this take out and will never eat there again. read more
