Mac's Shack is awesome! Such a great location as well. I preferred the Raw over Rockefeller Oysters. The lobster was so fresh and delicious. I honestly can't wait to visit again. The staff were great and down to earth as well. A waitress even provided my partner her personal lotion to use. read more

Great food. Location & fresh seafood. Also can get a lot to go from the fish market. We stop here, kayak and then get lunch

The sushi there is some of the best on the Cape and the place is very pleasant in the summer. The service is great.

Normally go to their ptown location but was in wellfleet for that night and saw they were open later, so stopped in. Cute location on the bay, they have an outdoor tent (screened in) with stone base. Gave the kale ceaser salad a try with blackened scallops and was really happy with it! (Note, you have to ask for blacking seasoning if you want it). would definitely go back! read more

Unfortunately, to quote Taylor Swift, I didn't have it in myself to go with grace. Maybe this was an off night, and normally I'm a girly on the side of the restaurant (look at my reviews), but this some of the worst food and worse service I've experienced in a while. I hate being negative about service, but this was just weird like they didn't ask everyone what they wanted and stuff, things came late, questions about dishes were unanswered, people were skipped altogether... but we were a table of 6 so like okay maybe it was too much idk. But the food man what the heck? The clam chowder was really watery and flavorless-- maybe a bad batch. My beer glass smelled badly of mildew, not sure if that's the beer lines or a dirty glass. The tacos were extremely mid, and the steamers I originally ordered were out of stock (not holding that one against them). For the price I'd grab drinks here but eat elsewhere. Kicking myself for getting a meal here :/ read more

Third visit; first review. Come for the oysters! Other dishes are a solid three star but the oysters are a five. Steamers were just ok. Chowder is a thin New England version (milky not creamy) which I'm sure some prefer. Decent number of clams in the chowder. Maki rolls were ok. Fish and chips also ok. I prefer seating in the main tent rather than the smaller one near the road because it has more of a restaurant feel. Service is always attentive and timing of food arrival is neither rushed nor late. read more

We have loved Mac's since it started many years ago. Always a treat every year, multiple times during our visits! One request: please bring back the Kung Pao cauliflower appetizer. This new cauliflower appetizer doesn't hold a candle to the old one! Thanks! read more

A great place to visit whil in the area! Ask for the specials of the night! We LOVED the Maki sushi special, my guy raved over the Mexican street corn and the main entree Blue Fish Tuna was Absolutely Perfect! The flip side ...the ceviche was too acidic to be appreciated and the cheesecake dessert tasted like freezer burn. Visit early in the evening! O read more

Wanted to eat here because we love Mac's in Chatham but wanted a sit down experience and also some sushi. Their seating is all outside on their clamshell lot under a tent. I think they have some seating on their patio as well. I've never been inside the building. We didn't stay because they didn't allow dogs. Back to Mac's Chatham for us. I really wanted fresh sushi. Please update your yelp features saying no dog allowed. It would have saved us a trip. read more

Great vegan options at this local favorite. The atmosphere is awesome, though you will have to wait to be seated. In the meantime, there's always the bar area seating + counters! Waitstaff are great - enough said. Now for the food. We love to order the Kung Pao tofu (or cauliflower) and the beet poke (which has fresh, delicious flavors on sushi rice), which are both appetizers but we treat as 1/2 entree. The Thai Veggie rolls deliver, as does the steamed edamame side. (I would love to see some more inventive vegan sushi options.) Recently, we tried the Buddha bowl, which was savory, warm, solid, tahini-y. Not very summery but nice on a cool night. And the mushrooms in there are killer. Drinks we've tried: rosemary lemonade (powerful but refreshing), the beer is good, and the gin spin is dangerously refreshing and smooth. read more

My husband ordered sushi and didn't get any soy sauce with his order and I ordered a kids chicken tender with fries and didn't receive any sauce. Was told they didn't have any honey mustard so I requested ranch. When we received our order we didn't have ANY sauces. Really disappointed. Food was great otherwise! Edited to note that this was a takeout order so we didn't know we didn't get the sauce until we got back home and opened the bag. read more

The location and building are iconic. The lobsterman pulling in the net on the roof. As a child in the 70s, we frequented the predecessor lobster restaurant. With Mac's, it jumps into the 21st century with sophistication and menu. It has not lost its charm or Wellfleet vibe. The food is generally exceptional, the location wonderful and the service generally good. The wait staff is attentive, friendly and a well managed group! We checked in for a table and went to the bar for drinks and an app. The oysters and cherry stones are fresh and amazing. Sushi incredible. 4 stars due to host and check in process. Often, there isn't anyone there for several minutes (experience over multiple visits). Not super friendly. We missed the text to our phone (not a millennial tired to my phone... was enjoying my oysters at bar). They called my name and I went to the check-in. "We are going to have to give your table to the next people because you didn't respond." Really? A little aggressive. The reality there were plenty of tables and she created unnecessary angst. Focus on your customers and their experience! read more

Compared to the other restaurants in our selections for our Cape Cod visit, this was the absolute best seafood experience all-around. Quality, preparation, variety, service, value, and beverage were all superb. They hit the spot for our seafood cravings, across the board. We had raw local oysters. We had batter-fried whole belly clams. We had a lobster roll. We had sashimi. All of it tender, perfectly seasoned, and delivered to the table quickly, with a smile. There was ample parking, outdoor seating, and decent beer selections - actually a full menu of wines and cocktails too. We even indulged with a piece of cheesecake, which was rich, well-textured, and not too sweet. And while it was a bit pricey for what we're used to, it was very reasonable in comparison to the area. And you can keep the price down if you restrict to a single entree per person, if you can stand it. We're already sad we can't go again for a sushi platter or perhaps an oyster shooter! read more

Long wait for a table and that was the best part of the experience. Took forever to place an order and even longer to get it. Food was mediocre and service was poor. Hopefully my tip reflected my feelings. Won't return...ever. read more

The food was well prepared and tasted good. Being that it's a new business, it was a little disorganized. Given some time, I think it'll be a great business. read more

A great place for seafood! Without a doubt the place to go and with excellent service

Great seafood. You have to try Fiddlehead White Ale on tap, as good as Allagash White. We sat at the outside bar to have a few raw bar apps. Wellfleet oysters, drunken oysters and little neck clams with cold beer on a hot day. Bar tenders were great, even when they're busy. Parking is a premium and a small lot. My 1500 pickup had trouble parking, but public parking is in walking distance. Will be back for steamers soon. read more

Unfortunate that the gluten free fried fish was tasteless. It sure needs work. The garlic fries were far too garlicky and a burger was very undercooked. Service was over the top. Fast, pleasant, and kind. Beer was good and cold! Somewhat of a beach atmosphere. read more

I love it .. the nice guy at THE PIPING PLOVER highly recommended this spot and he was right it was great and the food was delicious and fresh, what made it more delightful was Evan the server, he was so sweet and bubbly and kind, he went above and beyond to make sure we were accommodated, but what I loved most was the fact that Evan was such an gentlemen and helped push the elderly lady closer to the sushi bar to enjoy her Poke bowl, now that's what you call a great upbringing and service with a smile. I nominate Evan for employee of the month. read more

Popular for a reason! Macs Shack has a fun bar ambiance and plenty of outdoor seating. Come at a non-peak time if you don't want to wait an hour - they don't do reservations as of sept 2021. Good menu diversity with enough classics but also enough unique sushi entrees to satisfy any group. The clam chowder lived up to the hype (we ordered additional bowls after tasting it). Beet salad was excellent. Sushi was great but felt the chef was trying to unload some of the less popular cuts in the chef choice items/bowls. The yellowtail collar was a must!! Cocktails were unique and well executed. Would recommend for a slightly upscale lunch or dinner/bar experience. read more

I feel like I want to stay positive and not write bad reviews, so I try and only write reviews for places I've really enjoyed so others don't have to sift through the bad to get to the good.....that being said, this might have been the best place I went to on the cape. It's not very often you find a place that does different genres of food well, and this place doesn't only do it well, it does them great! I was here with a larger party and everything was great. I tried rolls(one with unagi and crab and one with Mac nuts, seared salmon and crab) and they were both delicious! My wife got the halibut with lobster mash potatoes, and they were really, really good! Being from the west coast we don't get a ton of lobster so I ate waaaay to much of this! The wait staff was super nice and the outdoor tent was perfect! 10/10 I'd go back! read more

This was not a first time for us. In the past we have enjoyed the food and the vibe. Last night, we had friends visiting and decided to do take out. Placed order and was given a very reasonable time frame for pick up and no issues for pick up. Once home, we realized it was the wrong order. Now when we were handed the bag of food, we were also handed the correct receipt with my name. so one would assume they went together. I understand they were busy, and stuff happens. We live around the corner so not a huge deal. The problem began when we stated what happened. A woman, assuming hostess, didn't say a thing. No apology, nothing. We were made to feel like we were in the wrong and it was an imposition to fix the problem. She took the bag and roughly 30 minutes later we had to go hunting down someone to find out where our order was. Again no apology, just handed the bag over. Very dismissive! For the most, everyone liked the taste of their sushi. Unfortunately, I ordered the baked hand Grenades. Such a disappointment!! It is supposed to be shrimp and scallops. No scallops, a tid bit of shrimp with a lot of rice. My husband ordered the wave roll. Said it was good, but very tiny for $16. Needless to say he was still hungry. Will we be back, hard to say. I've been to few other restaurants on the Cape for Sushi, and in my opinion, Macs has some improving to do. read more

I was blown away by this restaurant! I came here for dinner with my family tonight, it took us a while to get seated but that made sense given that it was packed. However, once we got to our table the service was prompt and friendly. I got the Hawaiian poke bowl with tuna, it was delicious and the fish was super fresh. We also got the tuna collar, which honestly ended up being the favorite of the night and was probably one of the tastiest meals I've eaten from a restaurant in a very long time. The garlic mashed potatoes that come with the lobster was also mind-blowing! Truly a great choice if you're nearby, would 100% recommend. read more

Best oysters I've ever had! The service was good and the outdoor seating was nice. Recommended!

On a two-week tour of New England, Leaf peeping, this was hands-down the best meal that we had. Every dish was fresh from, the oysters to the fish and chips. I had a wonderful potato cod with corn perfectly cooked, also we had the tacos and the Zarzuela all great. Lots of beer choices on tap too. Outdoor dining was perfect for lunch. read more

Hubby and I went to Macs Shack in Wellfleet for an early dinner. Sat outside (under cover). Glorious day. I started with a yummy mojito. We then ordered oysters and little necks. The best..local and don't get any fresher. I then had a tuna hamachi sashimi dish and hubby had a tuna dish called Big Mac. Pictures included. Great dinner and service. read more

This spot came highly recommended by everyone, tv shows, and many blogs. We had such high hopes for this restaurant. The service was very friendly and they have created a cute atmosphere under a tent. The food really could have been so much better. Littleneck Clams- The broth was so salty that we couldn't eat them. Had to send them back 2) Fresh Oysters- they were so poorly cleaned. I couldn't eat two of them and really was on edge if I would get sick. Wellfleet oysters are supposed to be the best so I was disappointed that they weren't cleaned properly. 3) Whole Lobster- this was cooked perfectly and was delicious 4) Arugula Parmesan Salad- good I would give this restaurant another chance if I was local. read more

Excellent food. Large outdoor seating (not dog friendly unfortunately). Service was on point.

Been here only once, but first impression was that quality standards and service is the base for this restaurant. The menu features very inventive, or standard item seafood choices; either way you choose you won't be disappointed. I've been very excited to try this place, and it sure left me very satisfied. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu. read more

We stopped by per Yelp. We sat at the bar. The food was good and fresh. Kind of pricey but we expected as much for fresh seafood. The bartender was ok. The customers that we meet at the bar is what made our experience better. We ordered sushi to go and it was good. We had to remind the bartender we needed to go items , Chopsticks and soy sauce. They have plenty of free parking. No views of the ocean. read more

The spot to be in wellfleet! A beachy spot offering seafood classics and scrumptious sushi. My go to is a painkiller (yes to the rum float!) and lobster roll with the truffle fries. To start their oyster are always perfectly shucked, the cauliflower app is yummy and you really can't go wrong with any sashimi or sushi. All the fish is fresh! Make a reservation or push for a seat at the bar. Otherwise be prepared to wait long. Don't sit inside, outside is much more exciting, enjoyable and fun! read more

This place has been very inconsistent for takeout food. We ordered for the third time yesterday and I was very disappointed with the portion size. The poke salad that I got came in a tiny appetizer sized container. You can see it next to a hand roll for size comparison. Rice, seaweed salad, and a small scoop of salmon. Considering this is not listed as an appetizer on the menu, I expected a full dinner sized portion. We have previously ordered other food there and it came in larger bowl-sized containers that were half full. Pretty disappointing considering the prices. read more
